The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Yuguan is back."

Cheng Yuguan returned to Fengyi Palace, but found that the queen hadn't rested yet, as if she was waiting for him.

Cheng Yuguan entered the queen's bedroom. In the empty palace, there was no brightness like Maxing Street, but it was very quiet. Cheng Yuguan unconsciously lowered his voice when he entered the bedroom.

"Your Majesty hasn't rested yet?"

The queen got up from the couch, put the small sheepskin lamp on the top of her head far away for reading, put the book on the original position of the sheepskin lamp, and beckoned Cheng Yu to close it.

Cheng Yuguan approached the queen and sat down next to the queen.

There was a clear and light fragrance on the queen, which was refreshing than the fragrance of flowers and softer than the fragrance of agarwood. Every time Cheng Yuguan smelled it, he felt refreshed.

"Did you enjoy playing on Ma Xing Street today?"

The queen took Cheng Yuguan's hand and asked with a smile.

Cheng Yu nodded, "Thanks to the fourth brother, I took my courtiers to see the authentic Maxing Street. If I went by myself, I might be dizzy."

On Ma Xing Street, today Li Mian took him to an authentic old store, and there were also other places where many people came to see new stores opened with huge sums of money. Really good store.Without the fourth prince Li Mian to lead the way, Cheng Yuguan might have to live in the capital for a longer period of time and go to Ma Xing Street to try a few more times, so that he can have a good time like today and have a good time without detours.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's innocent appearance, the queen couldn't help but gather the broken hair on the forehead of the girl in front of her, "Your fourth brother was very proud in the past, and he never took others to go shopping. He treats you like others no the same."

The queen said in a soft tone, but Cheng Yuguan quickly waved his hands, "It should be that the fourth prince is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Seeing that I didn't have a parent to take me to Ma Xing Street, he made time to take care of me. I also thought about the four things in my heart." Good brother, I will definitely repay you when I have the opportunity in the future."

The seriousness Cheng Yuguan said made the queen laugh, and the queen smiled, and patted Cheng Yuguan's hand, "Slippery, I'm talking about marriage with you, but you want to talk about family affection. Well, my aunt knows your age." I'm still young, so I don't have any thoughts about it."

The queen said, shaking her head, "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the business. Someone outside the palace handed me the book today. It is Cheng Liuchuan, the head of the Cheng family, Shenwei General."

Cheng Yuguan almost jumped up in surprise, "Uncle is here? That's great. Auntie, when will you meet Uncle and discuss my succession?"

Cheng Yuguan said impatiently.

Cheng Yuguan is not a person who can bear the burden of humiliation.

It can't be done in Chenghou's mansion, let alone in the palace.

These days Cheng Yuguan's life in Fengyi Palace can be regarded as clean.The queen valued her highly, and the palace servants did not find her unhappy.

But this is the palace after all, there are rules and regulations and all kinds of people, so Cheng Yuguan still can't live here as if he was at home.

So now that her uncle can come over, she can't wait to settle the issue of succession, so that she can leave the palace, even if she buys a small house, it will be her own home.

In her own home, she can lie down and lie down whenever she wants, regardless of the rules and decency.

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan's eyes lit up, the queen couldn't help joking, "Little heartless, you can't wait to leave Fengyi Palace and auntie?"

Cheng Yuguan blushed, smiled and lowered his head.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's reaction, the queen looked at the immature face of the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but reminisce.

"You should not be used to living in the palace. When my aunt entered the palace at the beginning of the year, she was holding her breath all the time. She didn't dare to take another step, and she didn't dare to live indiscriminately. This life is not on the stage, it is always upright. It’s okay, one or two days is fine, but after a long day, it’s inevitable to feel tired.”

When the queen talked about her feelings back then, Cheng Yuguan also agreed with it.

"There are too many people in this palace. It's okay in Fengyi Palace. Once there are outsiders, the nerves of the ministers will always be tense."

The queen stroked Cheng Yuguan's long hair, "I understand."

A soft sigh seemed to contain a thousand words.

Cheng Yuguan didn't know how to explain to the empress, so he tried to ask, "When did my aunt feel more comfortable in the palace?"

The queen smiled when she heard the words, as if thinking of something beautiful.

"When I was pregnant with Mianer. At that time, I suddenly felt that I should become stronger. After all, there is still a child who needs my protection."

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Cheng Yuguan, "At that time, I was pregnant with Mian'er, and I was always nervous and uneasy. Your mother was married back then, but she left Chenghou's mansion and spent my last days with me. When I was helpless, it was also at that time that I realized that in a lifetime, how many true friends can we get along with at ease and get help at critical moments? It was also at that time that we fell asleep and made a marriage contract."

Speaking of the marriage contract, seeing Cheng Yuguan anxious, the queen quickly stopped her.

"Don't worry about Yuguan. I know what you mean. In fact, I also feel in my heart that you are not suitable for this deep palace. You look reticent and easy-going, but in fact you have the most ideas in your heart. My aunt has lived for so many years and met so many in the palace. People, how can I not understand you. You have something you want to do, and the goal you want to accomplish is more determined than your mother and I were back then. The Hou Mansion and the palace will only imprison you, so you can't wait to succeed and walk out of the abyss. Gong, do what you want to do, right?"

Cheng Yuguan didn't expect that the person who knew him best was an elder whom he kept a respectful distance from.

Cheng Yuguan feels a little ashamed when he thinks of the days when he is respectful on the outside and alienated on the inside.

"My aunt understands me and respects my ideas, but I think I'm smart enough to alienate my aunt..."

The queen shook her head, "You two, don't need to talk about that. In my life, I only have your mother Sujun as a close friend. You are Sujun's daughter, which is equivalent to my daughter. There is not so much equality and care between mother and daughter. Even Mian'er, she never talked to me when she was young. I'm already very happy that you can rely on me."

Being talked about in his heart, Cheng Yuguan felt that his heart was soft.She unconsciously fell to the queen's knees, expressing the thoughts in her heart that she had never expressed before.

"I grew up with the nanny since I was a child. The nanny respected me but didn't get close to me. I understand that she blamed me for causing my mother to die early. I don't blame her. There is also the patriarch uncle. The uncle's family At first I wanted to keep a distance from me and the grandma’s family, but later I practiced martial arts and studied with my uncle and cousins. The uncle’s family was kind and upright by nature, so they gradually accepted me. The same, they are honest and kind-hearted characters. They practice martial arts every day according to the rules of the clan, so as not to let the skills left by their ancestors be lost. I was not born with the temperament to keep my own place, so I volunteered to help my uncle find a way out for Chengjia Village, and finally achieved some success."

Speaking of the proud things he has done in recent years, Cheng Yuguan got up from the empress's knees and looked at the empress with bright eyes, "There is a stonemason near Cheng's village. Starting from Chengjia Village, I searched for stone materials within a radius of ten miles. There were eighty hills I climbed. Finally, I found a stone that is suitable for foundation stones and decorative carvings. There is nothing else in Chengjia Village. They are all practicing martial arts. He is a man who has plenty of strength. So I led my people to dig mountains and quarry stones. Not only did I take care of food and clothing, I gradually invented sharp tools for digging mountains, and I also searched for talents. I fired brick kilns to make landscape stones. Today, the Cheng family is already the largest stone producer in Cangzhou Prefecture. Merchant, but this is not enough, I want to lead my tribe to become the largest stone merchant in Daqian, the contractor!"

What Cheng Yuguan is most proud of in the past ten years is to lead a group of warriors to be stone merchants, and then gradually transition to contractors.Everywhere in the gardens and courtyards, as long as it is to build houses and roads, she will bring her tribe to get involved.

Not to mention, with the force of the people in Chengjia Village and the high-quality stones she brought along with the stonemasons, Chengjia Village's road to contractors developed more and more smoothly. Up to now, it has made a name for itself in the entire Northland.

People in the capital looked down on Chengjia Village without knowing it, but she couldn't let it go.

Just like what she told the fourth prince, the patriarch and the three cousins ​​are not good at management, so she wants to carry forward her contractor business.

This is what she wants to do the most right now.

There are all kinds of books in the palace. After reading the local chronicles and stone records these days, she has already figured out where to go next.Just wait for her to go out from the palace, and she can flex her muscles!

When Cheng Yuguan talked about her lofty goals, her eyes sparkled, a look she couldn't see in her usual state of reticence.

The queen knew that Cheng Yuguan really wanted to do this.

This was the first time that "mother and daughter" had a heart-to-heart relationship. It was the first time that Cheng Yuguan confessed to others and confided his thoughts. The queen also felt heart-warming. The daughter of her old friend was indeed different.

From Chengjia Village with nothing, to creating his own piece of sky.

It would be great if she and Sujun didn't get married back then, but did what they wanted to do.

For a moment, Wei Huiqing seemed to put all the regrets of herself and Huo Sujun on Cheng Yuguan, and asked her to complete a completely different life for her two sisters.

Holding Cheng Yuguan's hand, a gleam of brilliance appeared on the queen's usually peaceful face, and the same brilliance appeared in her eyes, "Yuguan is capable and ambitious, so my aunt will naturally support you. Don't worry, my aunt will meet with Your Majesty tomorrow." Let's summon the patriarch Cheng together. I will let you succeed as soon as possible, and do what you want to do!"

...

"Your Highness, the empress has not rested yet. If you have something to do, this servant can go in and report to you."

Outside the sleeping hall, Mei Qing saw the fourth prince standing at the door, not moving for a long time, couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him softly.

Li Mian waved his hand, "Let the queen mother rest earlier, don't tell the queen mother that I have been here."

After speaking, Li Mian strode away to one side.

Mei Qing was a little puzzled, "Could it be that the fourth prince left temporarily because he heard Miss Cheng's voice and because there were outsiders present?"

Unable to understand why the fourth prince gave up halfway and did not enter the palace, Mei Qing shook her head and left.

...

After a good night's dream, the next day, facing the empress who had a long talk with candlelight yesterday, Cheng Yu was a little shy in concern, but also a little close.

"Come here, Yuguaner, Auntie will dress you up well. After all, you have to meet Patriarch Cheng. If Patriarch Cheng misunderstood that Auntie didn't take good care of you and made people worry, that would be bad."

Seeing that the empress is open-minded, Cheng Yuguan also smiled, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and let the empress dress him up.

Mei Qing and Mei Ling came to the dormitory to wait on them personally, seeing that the two were closer than before, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The two of them didn't quite understand why the two who had been a bit estranged in the past suddenly became intimate after just one night?There is a feeling that others can't get in, as if the two have a common little secret.

After dressing up and having breakfast, Cheng Yuguan accompanied the empress to handle palace affairs as usual.

"My lady, Shang Food Bureau buys fresh melons, fruits and vegetables every day. In order to avoid shortages, they will always buy more, rather than a lot. Therefore, the daily expenditure accounts are not as clear as Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and it is inevitable."

Every moment in the palace, there are disputes.There are too many people talking, and if one of them is not handled well, it will be exposed as it is now.

A Lord Shanggong who doesn't know the accounts is the biggest trick, if he doesn't deal with it well, he will end up in the inner prison.

The Empress heard it, but she still had a gentle look on her face, as if she was used to the fights among the people below, and she was no stranger to it.

Cheng Yuguan sat on the sidelines and listened to the two courtiers arguing about the lawsuit, and couldn't help but feel tired for the queen.

This kind of life-threatening battle is happening in the palace all the time. No wonder even the empress has to spend a long time to adapt to the life in the palace.

In the past, Cheng Yuguan just listened and watched, but this time, the empress suddenly asked Cheng Yuguan for his opinion.

"Yuguan, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Cheng Yuguan closely.

Especially the two Shang Gongs. After all, this is a major matter involving corruption and accounts.

Cheng Yuguan no longer hides his clumsiness, and answers seriously.

"Your Majesty, my daughter thinks that although the Shangshi Bureau is not strict, it is not a crime that deserves death. You can ask the Shanggong Bureau of the Shangyao Bureau to supervise the accounts of the Shangshi Bureau. In contrast, the Shangshi Bureau also has the right to check the Shangyao Bureau once a month. Since the two Shanggongs don't trust each other, they should change places, maybe after the two Shanggongs, they can find a more convenient and feasible method."

Listening to Miss Cheng's orderly answering arrangements, the female officials everywhere in the palace couldn't help but look at each other.

Did something happen that they didn't know about?Why such a sudden change?
Moreover, seeing Miss Cheng's confused face on weekdays, I thought she was still a child who couldn't understand.Today, when Miss Cheng spoke, she pointed her finger at the vital point with her mouth. She did not put anyone to death, but also prevented possible corruption and dereliction of duty. Her words were orderly, and everyone couldn't help but wonder, how could this be the rumored wild girl from the countryside? The noble daughters who have been taught are nothing more than that, right?
The queen nodded, "Follow what Yuguan said first, and the two Shang Palaces will supervise each other for half a year. If there is a better way, then report to this palace. Step back."

Several Shang Gong retreated, and the queen stood up, "Let's go, go to the front hall. Your patriarch uncle should be here."
