Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Xiao Xue's family was exiled for more than ten years because of the family's unjust case. Although she is not in the family, she still abides by the family rules and has never had a blind date with a foreigner. But she is getting older and older, and knowing that she has no hope of having children in this life, she is particularly eager to raise a child. She accidentally picked up the injured Cheng Yuanjing, moved with compassion, and took him home to take care of him to wake up.

When she asked what the child's name was, the five-year-old boy was silent for a long time, saying that both his parents had died, and the mountain torrent rushed here, and he no longer knew where he came from. Xiao Xue asked his name again, and he only said his name was Jing.

Jing, Yuguang also, the virtue of a gentleman, the color of Kunshan.

Excellent name.

Little Xue did not ask much, took good care of him, and raised him as his own son. The Xue family is a scholarly family, and the little Xue family is also a master of scriptures and history, and has a talent name before leaving the cabinet. Seeing that the child was smart, she tried to teach him to read and write, but Cheng Yuanjing's talent was even greater than she imagined. The little Xue family was a culprit. He didn't have much contact with the outside world on weekdays, and the addition of a child by his side did not attract the attention of outsiders.

She settled down with the child, and it didn't take long for the imperial court to search the mountains, and the movement even radiated to the place of exile where she was. Xiao Xue's residence became more and more unsafe, and she gradually realized that this child was not a lost child from an ordinary family.

This is most likely the prince.

She didn't dare to make a statement. She came from a scholarly family and understood the situation in the imperial court. She knew that if the child was discovered by the imperial army, neither she nor the child would survive. Just when the little Xue family didn't know what to do, Old Marquis Cheng secretly came to visit the little Xue family by taking the opportunity to help search for the prince. Mr. Cheng Laohou was Xiao Xue's former fiancé, but it was only once. After so many years, Mr. Xue and Mr. Cheng had no contact. Before, Mr. Cheng gave her money, but she was also rejected. However, this time, Mrs. Xue gritted her teeth and met Old Marquis Cheng and asked him to take their mother and son back to Beijing.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Neither the emperor nor Yang Shoufu would pay attention to his feet. And going to the capital can also give Cheng Yuanjing a better growth environment.

Old Marquis Cheng didn't know that Cheng Yuanjing was not the son of the little Xue family, he thought it was an outsider who deceived the little Xue family and let her give birth to a son and then abandoned their mother and son. Old Marquis Cheng couldn't bear Bai Yueguang in his heart to suffer from this, and after returning to Beijing, he said that this was his son who was hidden outside, and now he brought him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.

Before the emperor could react, Cheng Yuanjing entered the family tree of someone else's family. Cheng Yuanjing didn't care about it. Up to now, he has to plan for himself, no matter how much father and son love, it is not as important as his own survival.

Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing did not object, Xiao Xue acquiesced uncomfortably. What happened later was the version known to everyone in the Cheng family. Mrs. Cheng strongly opposed it. Mr. Cheng kept Xiao Xue and Cheng Yuanjing outside and went to visit every month.

The emperor sent two people to search for the whereabouts of the prince. All the way in the Ming Dynasty, they searched the mountains all the way, and all the way in the dark, they visited the people along the clues and horses, and later they found the capital along the clues. The emperor was shocked, and only then did he realize that his son had changed his surname and became an outsider of the Cheng family.

Okay, in the name of the Cheng family, it's easy to do things.

When Cheng Yuanjing returned to Cheng's house, he saw the secret agent sent by the emperor secretly. The emperor secretly observed Old Marquis Cheng for almost a year before revealing his tone of protecting the prince.

Old Marquis Cheng was like being struck by lightning in a sunny day, but Xiao Xue's guess was confirmed. The emperor and Old Marquis Cheng originally planned to keep Cheng Yuanjing safely outside the palace, and when the time was right, they would let Cheng Yuanjing come back. Cheng Yuanjing certainly believed that the emperor's intentions were true when he said this, but he also knew that if he really lived the life of a noble child without any competition, he might never be able to recover his identity.

The emperor said that the time was right, at least until the Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu died of old age. By then, Yang Miao's son had also grown up. He has no name, no points, no support, why should he take the position of the prince?

Without breaking or standing, after death, Cheng Yuanjing brittlely broke his way back and prepared for the imperial examination wholeheartedly. Of all the people, probably only the little Xue family really supported him. The emperor and Old Marquis Cheng never thought that Cheng Yuanjing could pass the imperial examinations, one out of a hundred in the township examination, and even more rare jinshi. In three years, the whole country only got 100 jinshi. Cheng Yuanjing became a monk halfway through, how could he compare to the one who had been preparing for more than ten years or even his whole life. Scholar?

The township exam and the general exam were both smeared exams, and Yang Shoufu was in charge, so it was impossible for the emperor to give Cheng Yuanjing convenience. The emperor thought at that time not to dampen the spirit of young people. Li Chengjing was going to inherit the great line in the future. It would be okay for him to try the difficulties of the imperial examination and experience the hardships of people's livelihood.

Who knows, the emperor actually saw his son in the list sent by the Ministry of Rites. He reluctantly controlled his expression, and in the palace exam, for the only time in many years, he saw the true face of the eldest son.

Father and son have been separated for several years. If it weren't for the special scene, I'm afraid they wouldn't know each other. The emperor didn't want him to be ranked too high, so he suppressed it as appropriate. When he was appointed an official later, the emperor secretly sent an eunuch to ask Cheng Yuanjing's meaning. The emperor sighed after hearing the answer, and then arranged for him to go out to see the real Dayan Dynasty with his own eyes.
