Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 107: Jealous
Li Chengjing's neck is white and slender, and his throat knot is also very obvious. His throat knot moves up and down, especially conspicuously.
Li Chengjing opened his eyes diligently, and held those slender hands. Cheng Yujin squeezed his temple intently for him, did not notice the other, was suddenly held by his hand, and was startled.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Li Chengjing did not speak, and instead took her wrist and took her to sit beside her. In the daytime, he can't challenge his endurance randomly. Cheng Yujin sat down next to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing naturally grabbed Cheng Yujin's waist and asked, "How about you, is everything going well in the palace?"
Cheng Yujin sighed softly and felt a solid friendship like a brother and a brother.
Cheng Yujin said: "It's okay. Today, Siri Jian sent the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, but the age does not look like it is in recent years."
Li Chengjing is smart and knows everything with a touch of light: "Which records are different from those in the past two years?"
Cheng Yujin nodded gently, and the two looked at each other, without saying much, everything was silent. Li Chengjing was silent for a moment and sighed: "blame me, if it wasn't for me that I was absent for many years, why are you so constrained."
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Cheng Yujin said, "You have just returned to the palace this year, and it can be very rare for the manpower in the palace to be arranged like this. If your Highness has been growing up in the palace, it is true that the strength of the network under your hand will be It ’s deeper, but how can your highness marry me? "
Cheng Yujin did not adulterate her words. She had just entered the palace and had nothing to do with her contacts. If it were not for Li Chengjing to hand her over to her, Cheng Yujin would be much more difficult to take the first step. Li Chengjing couldn't reveal his secret that he knew he was a prince long ago. Naturally, he couldn't bring in the hands outside the palace. Otherwise, the maidservant can explain, what do the eunuchs say?
Fortunately, the emperor was firmly on Li Chengjing's side. With the cooperation of the emperor, Li Chengjing slowly sent his people into the palace a year ago and placed them in various positions, but most of his staff were outside the palace. In this part of the palace, from the day Cheng Yujin entered the palace, Li Chengjing passed it to her.
Without the foreshadowing of Li Chengjing, Cheng Yujin did not have the courage to respond to the battle of the Queen Mother today. Although it is difficult now, as long as you plan carefully and arrange carefully, you still have a blow. Li Chengjing blamed him for not arranging everything, which is very unreasonable. Cheng Yujin's unbiased favoritism is true, but she is sensible online and does not make trouble unreasonably.
Li Chengjing couldn't say anything refuting. Also, if he had never been lost in a mountain torrent, and had never been exiled to the people, he would naturally not go to the Cheng family and would not know Cheng Yujin. Perhaps the fate of the two of them is completely different. In the end of Li Chengjing's life, he will not know that there is a big girl in Yichun Houfu, named Cheng Yujin.
Li Chengjing seemed to have lost something, but it was more fortunate. He suddenly had an extremely thrilling and mysterious feeling, obviously something that had never happened, but he had an intuition. He and Cheng Yujin had too many coincidences along the way. By Cheng Yujin, she will not be his wife anymore.
For example, in the early spring of the year of Jianwu, he braved the wind and snow to rush to see Old Master Hou. The road he took would normally not touch the female family. If Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan were delayed there, Li Chengjing would not meet Cheng Yujin, Cheng Yujin Will not chase to go to Cheng Laohou's house. After that, Old Master Hou asked them to work together as a screen, and naturally it was impossible. Due to the relationship between Li Chengjing and Mrs. Cheng, he does not often go to Shou An Tang, but Cheng Yujin rarely goes to other places besides Shou An Tang. Even if they meet by chance in Mrs. Cheng ’s courtyard, they are most likely to become nods. Uncle niece.
Next, he was often away from the Cheng family because of the court, but Cheng Yujin had already been married as early as possible under the arrangement of the family, and since then he has embarked on a strange path completely. Perhaps waiting for him to restore his status as the East Palace, Cheng Yujin, as a high-married woman, will come to see the East Palace during the New Year. It's just that one of them is the Chu Jun and the other is a courtesan. Even if they meet in the East Palace, they will be far away from each other.
Li Chengjing suddenly became extremely emotional. He thought that fate was unfair to him, but he didn't want to. He has the greatest eccentricity of fate today. The crown prince has been in the wind and rain for 14 years, and he is still with him in the end. He wandered in solitude for 14 years, but met his wife in this life in the last year of the Cheng family.
Cheng Yujin saw that Li Chengjing was thoughtful and did not speak for a long time. She raised her eyebrows quietly and asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness, what are you thinking? How do you look so serious?"
"I was thinking that Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin should really be far away." Li Chengjing seemed to be joking, but when he looked down at Cheng Yujin, his eyes were deep and calm, there was no ridicule, and he was not sure whether he was Not just talking about it.
Lin Qingyuan came to the Cheng family because of him, and Cheng Yujin should not have met, but Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin, these two are probably Cheng Yujin's original husband.
It's really unpleasant to think about it. The obvious people are beside him, but as long as Li Chengjing thought that Cheng Yujin should be married to Huo Changyuan or Zhai Yanlin, he could not restrain his jealousy.
Cheng Yujin hesitated for a moment, and then thought about how it might be that other men might take the opportunity to suppress their former rivals, but how could Li Chengjing do such naive and extreme things. Cheng Yujin thought he was laughing and joking, and said, "His Royal Highness, you are wronging me. When I was at the Cheng family, I was almost under your eyes. Others don't know, do you still not know my actions? Me and these two Individual men have never met each other, and they can avoid when they meet. Even if they happen to happen by accident, they always swear. "
"I know." Li Chengjing held Cheng Yujin's hand, her fingers were slender, and her skin was as thick as a fat. Li Chengjing could hold them all as soon as she closed her palm. He seemed to mean something, and seemed to have nothing, "I never doubted You are the ones who are thinking about it. "
As for Cheng Yujin's process of seeking marriage for himself, he was forcibly ignored by Li Chengjing. In any case, Cheng Yujin is right, it must be other men.
This topic is dangerous. Cheng Yujin didn't answer it. Do n’t blame her. She did n’t dare to marry the prince at that time. Who knew Li Chengjing had thoughts.
Li Chengjing squeezed the slender hand in his palm and suddenly said: "I used to complain about God's injustice and wanton deprivation of my destiny when I was young, but now I want to come and I clearly appreciate the creation. If it is not arranged by heaven, how can I know you."
Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrows secretly when she heard these words. She didn't believe them at all. She pulled out her hand, poured a new cup of tea to Li Chengjing, handed it to Li Chengjing, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness looked at me, thank you for raising love. The afternoon meal was not much. I prepared a few snacks. For a moment, I will prepare another meal for your Highness at night. "
Li Chengjing took the tea, glanced down at it, and couldn't help laughing: "If you are also called General, I'm afraid the snacks made by Shang Shanjian can't be eaten."
Whenever Cheng Yujin shot, he always wanted to be the ultimate. The several snacks she brought out were exquisite and beautiful, with all colors and fragrances, which made people feel good when they saw it. Li Chengjing picked up one of these pieces and was curious: "How is this dim sum made?"
The piece of dim sum held in Li Chengjing's hand is blue and white, and the cyan color gradually changes into porcelain white, and the color gradient is natural. .
This is a recipe that Cheng Yujin accidentally tried out. She tasted it and it was okay. The rare thing was that she looked good and brought it together.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengjing singled out this piece. Without him, dim sum like blue and white porcelain is really eye-catching.
Cheng Yujin said: "This is the color I accidentally tuned out after soaking with butterfly bean flowers. I didn't expect it to become a gradual change. I was also surprised."
Li Chengjing nodded slightly, he took another look and said, "In your opinion, how about using Mid-Autumn Festival to make mooncakes?"
Cheng Yujin froze for a moment, then thought seriously. Because this is also an accidental product, she is just looking for something new, and has not thought of a deeper use. But if you use this recipe to make moon cakes, moon cakes mean reunion and blue and white porcelain patterns, which is auspicious and elegant, which is exactly the essence of palace cakes. Moreover, she hosted the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this year. What could be more impressive than presenting a delicate mooncake in front of Baiguan.
Cheng Yujin Mao Sai paused, and suddenly gave birth to many kinds of ideas. Cheng Yujin stood up and would pay tribute to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing held one hand and smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your help. This can help me a lot." Cheng Yujin said this truthfully. Li Chengjing is indeed a royal, even if he was not in the palace for many years, he was born with it. The keen sense of smell has not subsided. Cheng Yujin needed an opportunity to make a name for himself, but he couldn't be too flamboyant, and grabbed the limelight of Queen Yang. This entry point was just right.
Li Chengjing said: "I just mentioned it casually, and I really made it on your own." His voice fell, and suddenly his tone turned, and he suddenly turned a big bend: "But there are often thousands of horses, but not many Bole. The grace cannot be forgotten, how do you plan to repay me? "
Here again, Cheng Yujin glared at him, got up and put away the empty food box: "His Highness is high and bright, he is willing to help but never asks for rewards. I admire His Highness, I naturally feel His Highness in my heart, and I take His Highness as an example everywhere. Is the best reward. "
After Cheng Yujin finished his speech, without giving Li Chengjing the opportunity to take advantage of his words, Shi Shiran retired: "His Royal Highness is in government affairs, but I have been harassed for a long time. The concubine is ashamed in body and mind, and he will retire first."
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu came to Li Chengjing to discuss matters. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu had been in the officialdom for many years. He had long practiced the ability to grasp the key points in silence, and he almost noticed a few delicate pastries before the case of His Royal Highness as soon as he came in.
He vaguely remembered that it was not in the morning. Li Chengjing saw that the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu was coming, and he didn't talk much, and soon cut to the topic. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu quickly withdrew his thoughts and conscientiously discussed the affairs with the prince.
When Huo Changyuan came, the **** stopped him: "Jingyong Hou stays in step, and the Ministry of Industry is still inside to discuss with His Royal Highness. Jingyong Hou needs to wait."
"This is natural, thanks to the father-in-law for reminding." Huo Changyuan should have no problem. Whether it is Shang Shu or the prince, neither of them can be neglected, Huo Changyuan can only wait outside.
After a while, two other palace ministers came in. They were sending the dossiers to the prince, and they could only wait on one side at the moment. Gan was waiting for boredom, and the **** stood farther away. The two literary ministers knew each other and could not help but whisper.
One of them asked, "When I just came out, I saw that the pastry before the case of His Royal Highness was strange. I hadn't seen it before. Did the father-in-law of Shang Shanjian come up with a new pattern?"
The other person shook his head and said, "The time when Shang Shanjian sends food is fixed, and the prince is rigorous. Why would someone be called to deliver snacks during the political period? Those who have not seen Shang Shanjian in the afternoon, they are Shen Shi, the crown prince. came."
The prince was surprised: "Concubine Princess even delivered snacks to His Highness personally?"
"What's so strange." The other person was called by the prince for several times these days, and he knew more about Wenhua Temple. He said: "It's not just snacks. His Royal Highness, from food and clothing to tea, is only one serving, and he doesn't eat public meals with others."
The subordinates sighed with heartfelt envy. They stayed in the imperial city office in the afternoon. Instead of going home at noon, they were uniformly served by Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple cooking ... Alas, there are ten ridiculous legends in the capital, and Guanglu Temple tea soup is honored to be one of them.
It ’s not enough to eat it. Obviously, the big guys also find it difficult to eat. The emperor has a personal **** who cooks alone, that is, the “inner blister” is still a meal supervisor, and all cabinet cabinets can open private stoves. However, these ordinary civil servants do not have such magical powers and can only follow the crowd to eat big pot rice.
At noon, His Royal Highness did not eat much, let alone the Prince, and his subjects could not eat it. The minister was envious when he saw that the prince had an extra meal. He thought that the father-in-laws who were still in charge of the meal were intimate. Now, when I asked him, I realized that it was not the eunuchs but the princess.
The official was more sad, thinking he might as well not ask. Another person fully understood his mood at the moment, patted him on the shoulder, and sincerely persuaded: "Don't envy, I will wait until the envy is not coming, or do a good job, go to the restaurant to eat at night."
The official sighed, and could only hope that he would have a good meal after he had gone. Seeing that Huo Changyuan was also there, he greeted Huo Changyuan: "Jing Yonghou, you are also here."
"Yes, the minister has something to report to His Royal Highness."
The officer nodded. They had one article, one martial art, one clear stream, one honorable man, and there was no intersection. Meeting and saying hello was already the limit. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to come out. He and Huo Changyuan arched each other's hands, and Huo Changyuan went into the Wenhua Hall.
Huo Changyuan didn't listen to the two officials just now, but when he was in the same room, he always had an ear. After entering the hall, he saluted Li Chengjing, and when he got up, his eyes subconsciously searched for new-shaped pastries.
He really saw it beside the case. Depending on the size of the plate, these pastries have been used, leaving only a few. Huo Changyuan recognized at a glance, that was Cheng Yujin's handwriting.
He was first engaged to Cheng Yujin, and later married Cheng Yumo. He walked very frequently with Yichun Houfu, and he knew a lot about the Cheng family. He had seen a few plates of extremely delicate dim sum in Mrs. Cheng's time. At that time, he and Cheng Yujin had not divorced. The other's grandma said very proudly that this was done by the elder girl.
The pastry before the Prince's case at the moment is exactly the same as before. It's not that the cakes are the same, but the elegant and refined style, obviously from the same person.
But Huo Changyuan clearly heard from Cheng's family that Cheng Yujin didn't often do it. Just as she is very good at female red, she is also very good at cooking, but she rarely starts in person, and outsiders can only see it very few times.
Huo Changyuan couldn't help thinking, didn't she say that she seldom did it? Why did you listen to the voices of the palace officials, and all of the Prince's after-dinner snacks were sent by Cheng Yujin these days?
The difference between an outsider and a husband-in-law is so great. Huo Changyuan feels incredible. Cheng Yujin's thin and cool temperament is so good and considerate after marriage. It is a model of a good wife and mother.
Huo Changyuan's mind was complicated for a while. At this time, Li Chengjing's voice came for the first time. Huo Changyuan quickly breathed his breath and dared not to diverge again.
When the sky dimmed slightly, it was time for Sanya. Huo Changyuan, because of what he saw in the Wenhua Temple in the afternoon, did not know why he was always inexplicably irritable and had no intention to drink with his colleagues, so he turned away from the entertainment and led the horse home alone.
As soon as he entered the house, Hou ’s wife at the door greeted him and said, “Hou Ye, you can be counted back! Today, Miss Watch is here, the old lady was very happy, but she did n’t know how to hinder her Eyes. Now the wife in the upper room is having trouble with the old lady, please go and see! "
Cheng Yumo quarreled with his mother? Why is she so troublesome? Huo Changyuan frowned subconsciously, lifted his robes hard, and quickly walked up to the room.
