In contrast, in Cheng Shaoshang's view, Huo Junhua's madness was mostly caused by the infatuated woman who suffered a destructive blow. Fortunately, General Cui You were taking care of her. Through Ling Buyi's narration, Cheng Shaoshang learned that Cui You loved Huo Junhua when he was young. At first, he refused to marry a wife. Later, under the pressure of the old woman, he had to agree to the marriage arranged by his family. However, his wife died of labor due to difficult labor. When Huo Junhua broke off from marriage with Ling Yi, he vowed not to marry him for life and lived in a widowhood.
It is precisely because of Cui You's deep love that Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi both sighed. Cheng Shaoshang felt sorry for Ling Buyi to get up early and late to pick him up and drop him off all day long. From then on, they were willing to get up half an hour earlier. The two agreed to meet at the palace gate. Seeing that Shaoshang was willing to think about himself, Ling Buyi then prepared to get engaged in three days. Cheng Shaoshang thought of his marriage with Lou Yao and ended the engagement. Ling Buyi suddenly kissed Cheng Shaoshang. Although he was full of jealousy, it was enough to make Cheng Shaoshang feel sweet and happy.
Xiao Yuanyi learned about the preparations for the engagement and thought it was too hasty. At this time, Chunyu's suddenly came to the door, so naturally it came to discuss the engagement. Cheng Shaoshang had already known Chunyu's character, so he had no good feelings for her. In particular, Chunyu also sent two concubines and immediately contradicted the other party.
Watching Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shaoshang sing and reconcile, Chunyu felt that he couldn't bear it and left angrily. Xiao Yuanyi privately asked Cheng Shaoshang why he targeted Chunyu family everywhere today. Cheng Shaoshang then realized what Huo Junhua had happened, and he was also sincerely wronged for Huo Junhua and Ling Bus.
When it was time for the engagement, the Cheng family invited everyone to participate, but the Chunyu family was left out and refused to give her an invitation. Yuan Shen took the post to the Cheng family, thinking about persuading Cheng Shaoshang to turn back in time. Unexpectedly, Ling Buyi did not appear for a long time. Instead, Princess Ruyang took Chunyu's storm and broke in with great momentum.
Fortunately, Ling Buyi sent someone to send a message to Cheng Shaoshang in time, saying that no matter who appears today, he will not care about everything. The Princess Ruyang came in bad ways and scolded Cheng Shaoshang for not being polite in public, intending to let the maid teach her a lesson. Xiao Yuanyi slapped the maid with her back hand, protecting Cheng Shaoshang from being bullied at all.
Just as the Princess Ruyang was angry and was about to take Cheng Shaoshang away, Empress Xuan suddenly appeared and led the way to the main hall of the backyard with Xiao Yuanyi, leaving Cheng Shaoshang, Princess Ruyang and Chunyu alone. The guests gathered around to watch the fun. Some even mocked Cheng Shaoshang for being aware of his lack of attitude as an official. The two could not argue with Yuan Shen, so they simply left in shame.
The Princess of Ruyang insisted that Cheng Shaoshang did not send an invitation, which was obviously a humiliation of Jungu Chunyu. Empress Xuan had a gentle personality and was naturally no match for Princess of Ruyang. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ling Buyi brought Emperor Wen , Concubine Yue and King Ruyang to Cheng's mansion. Everyone was shocked by this.
As expected, Princess Ruyang had no power to resist in front of Concubine Yue. Cheng Shaoshang was eloquent and reasonably exposed Chunyu's ungratefulness. Since Huo Junhua treated him well, he still seduced Chengyang Hou in private and then replaced Huo Junhua's position. Princess Ruyang was still thinking of refuting, but Concubine Yue was completely merciless. Even if she and Huo Junhua had personal grudges, she still wanted to distinguish between public and private. At least Huo Junhua never felt sorry for the Ling family, and treated Ling Yi with deep affection.
When Huo Junhua married Ling Yi, he helped his husband rise to the top and enjoy endless wealth. On the other hand, Ling Yi did not know the life and death of his wife and children, and he was not clear about Chunyu's family in less than a year. The Huo family's mother and son were displaced and faced difficulties in life and death every moment. However, Ling Yi was planning to marry his step-wife Chunyu. When Huo Junhua returned safely, he was still skinny and boneless. He was no longer a human being.
Although Huo Junhua has a problem with his personality, in the eyes of Concubine Yue, she is a good mother, so Ling Buyi does not need to please Chunyu for this, and even made harsh words on the spot. In the future, Chunyu must not enter the palace, so as not to feel unlucky and disgusting when he sees it.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Princess Ruyang. King Ruyang could not stand the other party and begged Emperor Wen to agree to let him get married.Since King Ruyang still wanted to promote Confucianism, if he had divorced, he would inevitably lose his temper. At the suggestion of Concubine Yue and Empress Xuan, he ordered her to go to Sancaiguan Qingxiu on the grounds that Princess Ruyang was not as good as her spirit, and including Chunyu, he would also be confined to the mansion to take care of the Marquis of Chengyang.
Everyone was surprised to see the Princess Ruyang and Chunyu being taken away in a mess one after another. As the farce ended, King Ruyang felt refreshed and said that he had brought the wine he had collected for many years from home. Emperor Wen was very happy and took advantage of the joy of getting engaged today and did not return home without getting drunk. After everyone left, Cheng Shaoshang looked at Ling Buyi happily. The two looked at each other affectionately, and everything was indifferent.
