Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 107

[Chapter 107 Jealousy]

Li Chengjing’s neck is white and slender, and his Adam’s apple is also very obvious. His Adam’s apple moves up and down, which is especially conspicuous.

Li Chengjing opened his eyes suddenly and held the pair of slender hands.

Cheng Yujin kneaded his temples for him attentively, and didn’t notice anything else, and was shocked when he was suddenly held by his hand.

“His Royal Highness, what’s the matter?”

Li Chengjing didn’t say a word, instead he held her wrist and took her to sit beside him.

In broad daylight, he couldn’t challenge his endurance indiscriminately.

Cheng Yujin sat down next to Li Chengjing, Li Chengjing hugged Cheng Yujin’s waist naturally, and asked, “How about you, is everything going well in the palace?”

Cheng Yujin sighed softly, feeling a kind of solid friendship like a brother or a brother.

Cheng Yujin said: “It’s still good. Today, the Slijian sent the Mid-Autumn Festival rules from previous years, but the time limit does not seem to be in recent years.”

Li Chengjing is smart, and he knows everything with a single click: “Those records are different from those in the past two years. ?”

Cheng Yujin nodded lightly, and the two looked at each other, no need to say more, everything was silent.

Li Chengjing was silent for a moment, then sighed: “Blame me, if it wasn’t for me being absent for so many years, why would you be constrained everywhere?”

“Your Highness, what are you talking about.” Cheng Yujin said, “You just returned to the palace this year, and the staff in the palace can be arranged. It is very rare to be like this. If Your Highness has been growing up in the palace, it is true that your personal connections will be stronger, but in this case, how can Your Highness marry me?”

Cheng Yujin’s words were not adulterated, she When she first entered the palace, she didn’t have any connections. If Li Chengjing hadn’t allocated the manpower to her, it would have been much more difficult for Cheng Yujin to take the first step.

Li Chengjing couldn’t reveal the secret that he knew he was the prince for a long time, so naturally he couldn’t bring in people from outside the palace.

Otherwise, the maid is easy to 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 own people into the palace a year ago and placed them in various positions, but most of his staff were outside the palace.

This part of the palace, from the day Cheng Yujin entered the palace, Li Chengjing handed it over to her.

Without Li Chengjing’s foreshadowing, Cheng Yujin would not have the confidence to respond to the Empress Dowager Yang’s battle today.

Although it is difficult now, as long as you plan carefully and arrange carefully, there is still a blow.

Li Chengjing said that it was really unreasonable to blame him for not arranging everything well.

Cheng Yujin’s unprincipled partiality to herself is true, but she is rational and online, and will not make trouble unreasonably.

Li Chengjing couldn’t say anything to refute, and also, if he hadn’t been lost in the torrents, had never lived in the people, naturally he wouldn’t have gone to Cheng’s house, and he wouldn’t have known Cheng Yujin.

Maybe the fate of the two of them is completely different. In the end of Li Chengjing’s life, he will not know a big girl in Yichun Hou’s mansion named Cheng Yujin.

Li Chengjing seemed to have lost something in the loss, but he was more fortunate.

He suddenly had an extremely thrilling and mysterious feeling. It was obviously something that had never happened, but he just had an intuition. He and Cheng Yujin had too many coincidences along the way. When it comes to Cheng Yujin, she won’t be his wife anymore.

For example, in the early spring of Jianwu’s year, he braved the wind and snow to come to see Old Marquis Cheng. The road he traveled usually would not meet female dependents. If Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan hadn’t been there, Li Chengjing would not have met Cheng Yujin, Cheng Yujin. Nor will they chase after Cheng Laohou’s house.

After that, Lord Cheng asked the two of them to work together to make a screen, which was naturally impossible.

With the relationship between Li Chengjing and Mrs. Cheng, he doesn’t often go to Shou’an Hall, but Cheng Yujin rarely goes to other places except Shou’an Hall. Even if they meet in Mrs. Cheng’s courtyard by chance, they are most likely to become acquaintances. uncle and niece.

Next, he was often away from Cheng’s house because of court affairs, but Cheng Yujin had arranged to marry someone early in the family’s arrangement, and since then he has completely gone on a stranger’s path.

Perhaps when he regains his identity in the East Palace, Cheng Yujin, as a high-ranking wife, will come to visit the East Palace during the Chinese New Year.

It’s just that one of them is the prince and the other is a minister’s wife. Even if they meet by chance in the East Palace, they will avoid suspicion and never see each other.

Li Chengjing suddenly became extremely emotional. He thought that fate was unfair to him, but he didn’t want to. He has today, and it is already the biggest eccentricity of fate.

The crown prince has been precarious for 14 years, and he is still on him in the end. He wandered alone for 14 years, but in the last year of the Cheng family, he met the wife of this life.

Cheng Yujin saw that Li Chengjing was thoughtful and didn’t speak for a long time. She raised her eyebrows quietly and asked with a smile, “Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Why are you looking so serious?”

“I was thinking, Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin, It should be sent away at a distance.” Li Chengjing seemed to be joking, but when he looked down at Cheng Yujin, his eyes were deep and calm, and there was no joking, making people uncertain whether he was talking casually.

Lin Qingyuan came to Cheng’s house because of him, and Cheng Yujin should not have met, but Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin, these two are most likely Cheng Yujin’s original husband.

It really hurts just thinking about it.

Mingming was by his side, but Li Chengjing couldn’t restrain his jealousy as long as he thought that Cheng Yujin should have married Huo Changyuan or Zhai Yanlin.

Cheng Yujin hesitated for a moment, then thought about how it was possible, other men might take the opportunity to suppress the former rival in love, but how could Li Chengjing do such a childish and extreme thing.

Cheng Yujin felt that he was joking, so she smiled and said, “Your Highness, what you said is wronging me. When I was in Cheng’s house, I almost stayed under your nose. No one knew about it. Don’t you know my actions? Personal men have never met, and if they meet, they will avoid it, and even if they meet by chance, they will never lie.”

“I know.” Li Chengjing held Cheng Yujin’s hand. He can hold it all in his palm. He seems to mean something, but he doesn’t seem to have anything. “I never doubted you, it’s them who are thinking about it.”

As for the process of Cheng Yujin seeking a marriage for himself, Li Chengjing was forcibly ignored by Li Chengjing. .

In any case, Cheng Yujin is right, and it must be other men who are wrong.

This topic was dangerous, and Cheng Yujin didn’t answer it.

I can’t blame her, she didn’t dare to marry the prince at that time, who knew that Li Chengjing had thoughts.

Li Chengjing squeezed the slender hand that was smooth as jade in his palm, and suddenly said: “When I was young, I once complained about the injustice of God and wantonly deprived me of my destiny, but now that I think about it, I should clearly thank good luck. If it wasn’t for God’s arrangement, how could I have known each other? you.”

Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrows secretly when she heard these words, she didn’t believe these words at all.

She took out her hand, poured a new cup of tea for Li Chengjing, handed it to Li Chengjing, and said with a smile, “His Royal Highness really thinks highly of me, thank you for your love. I don’t have much to eat in the afternoon, so I have prepared a few snacks. Now, I’ll prepare another meal for His Highness in the evening.”

Li Chengjing took the tea, glanced down, and couldn’t help laughing: “If you are also called the future, I’m afraid the snacks made by Shang’s restaurant supervisor can’t be eaten.”

Cheng Yujin Whenever you make a move, always do it to the extreme.

The desserts she brought out were exquisite and beautiful, full of colors and flavors, which made people feel good after seeing them.

Li Chengjing picked up one of the pieces and was curious: “How is this dessert made?”

The piece of dessert Li Chengjing was holding in his hand was blue and white, and the blue and blue gradually transitioned to porcelain white, and the color gradually changed naturally, because it changed with the noodles. Kneaded together, the patterns are varied and the shape is extremely natural, looking like high-quality blue and white porcelain.

This is a recipe that Cheng Yujin tried by chance. She tasted it and it tasted fine, but the rare thing was that it looked good, so she brought it with her.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengjing picked this piece out by himself.

Without him, desserts like blue and white porcelain are really eye-catching.

Cheng Yujin said: “This is the color I accidentally adjusted after soaking butterfly pea flower. I didn’t expect it to become a gradient. I was also surprised.”

Li Chengjing nodded slightly, he took it and looked at it again, and said, “It depends on you. Look, how about making moon cakes from it during the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, and then she frowned seriously.

Because Ben was also an accidental product, she just wanted something new and didn’t think about a deeper purpose.

But if you use this recipe to make moon cakes, the moon cakes mean reunion and have blue and white porcelain patterns, which can be described as auspicious and elegant, which is exactly the essence of court cakes.

Moreover, this year, she will host the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and what could be more quiet than presenting a plate of delicate mooncakes in front of Baiguan.

Cheng Yujin was stunned, and many thoughts came into being in an instant.

Cheng Yujin stood up and gestured to pay homage to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing held it with one hand and asked with a smile, “What are you doing?”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your suggestion. His Highness’s words can be said to have solved my urgent needs. This is a great help.” Cheng Yujin said these words with sincerity. Li Chengjing deserves to be a royal, even if he has not been in the palace for many years, he is born with it. The keen sense of smell did not subside.

Cheng Yujin needs a chance to make a name for herself, but she can’t be too public and steal Queen Yang’s limelight. This entry point is just right.

Li Chengjing said, “I just mentioned it casually, and it’s up to you to make it really.” His voice fell, and his tone suddenly changed, and he made a big turn: “But there are always horses, but not so often in Bole. You can’t forget your kindness, how are you going to repay me?” When

he came again, Cheng Yujin glared at him, got up and put away the empty food box: “His Royal Highness Gao Fengliangjie, willing to help others but never asking for anything in return. I admire His Highness Gao Yi very much, naturally I am grateful to His Highness in my heart and take His Highness as an example everywhere, which is the best reward.”

After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, Shi Shiran resigned without giving Li Chengjing a chance to argue, “His Royal Highness is in government affairs, but I have been harassing him for a long time. Concubine. Feeling ashamed in body and mind, I will retire first.” In the

afternoon, the Minister of Industry came to discuss matters with Li Chengjing. The Minister of Industry had been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and he had already practiced the ability to focus on the key points calmly. He noticed the case of His Royal Highness the Prince almost as soon as he came in. A few delicate pastries before.

He vaguely remembered that it was not yet in the morning.

Li Chengjing saw the minister of the Ministry of Industry coming, he didn’t say much greetings, and quickly got to the point.

The Minister of Industry quickly retracted his miscellaneous thoughts and discussed political affairs with the prince seriously.

When Huo Changyuan came, the eunuch stopped him: “Marquis Jingyong stayed behind, the Minister of Industry is still inside to discuss matters with His Highness, Marquis Jingyong needs to wait.”

“It’s natural, thank you father-in-law for reminding me.” Huo Changyuan has everything. answer.

Whether it was the Shang Shu or the Crown Prince, neither of them could be neglected, Huo Chang Yuan could only wait outside.

After a while, two ministers from the East Palace came in. They were sending the files to the prince, and at the moment they could only wait on the sidelines.

While waiting for boredom, the eunuch stood farther away. The two civil servants knew each other and could not help but chat in low voices.

One of them asked: “When I just came out, I saw that the cakes in front of His Royal Highness’s case looked strange, and I had never seen them before. Has the father-in-law of Shangshan Supervisor came up with a new pattern again?” The

other shook his head and said, ” The time for the delivery of food by the Shangshan Supervisor is always fixed. The prince is strict, why would he call someone to deliver snacks during the administration period? I have never seen anyone from the Shangshan Supervisor in the afternoon, but Shen Shi, the crown prince came.” The

minister was surprised .

: “Prince Concubine actually delivered snacks to His Highness in person?”

“What’s so strange?” The other person was called by the Prince and asked many times in the past few days, and he knew more about Wenhua Palace.

He said: “Not only snacks, His Royal Highness

, from clothing, food to tea, is all alone, and does not eat public meals with other people.”

, did not go home at noon, but served meals at the Guanglu Temple.

Guanglu Temple cooks… Alas, according to legend in the capital, there are ten ridiculous, and Guanglu Temple tea soup is honored to be one of them.

It’s not enough to not eat it, obviously the big people also find it unpalatable. The emperor has a personal eunuch to cook alone, that is, the “inner blisters” are still the dining supervisor, and the cabinet elders can open private kitchens.

However, these ordinary civil servants do not have such magical powers, and can only follow the crowd to eat a big pot of rice.

At noon, His Royal Highness didn’t eat much, not to mention the prince, even the ministers couldn’t eat it.

When the ministers saw that His Royal Highness had a meal, he was very envious. He thought it was the caring father-in-law of the Shangshan Supervisor. Now, when he asked, he realized that it was not sent by the eunuchs, but the Crown Princess.

The official was even more sad, thinking that he might as well not ask.

The other person understood his mood at the moment, patted him on the shoulder, and sincerely advised: “Don’t be envious. I won’t be envious, so I’d better do the errand and go to the restaurant to eat at night.” The

official sighed and could only send Hope to have a good meal after Sanya.

Seeing that Huo Chang Yuan was also there, he greeted Huo Chang Yuan: “Marquis Jingyong, you are also here.”

“Yes, I have something to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

The subordinates nodded. They were both civil and military, pure and noble, and they didn’t have much interaction. Saying hello to each other was the limit.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the Minister of Works to come out. He and Huo Changyuan handed each other’s hands, and Huo Changyuan entered the Wenhua Hall with a solemn look.

Huo Chang Yuan didn’t make a special trip to listen to the conversation between the two subordinate officials just now, but when they came out of the same room, they couldn’t help but listen.

After he entered the hall, he saluted Li Chengjing, and when he got up, his eyes subconsciously looked for cakes with novel shapes.

He really saw it next to the case.

Looking at the size of the plate, these pastries have been used, and only a few are left.

Huo Chang Yuan recognized at a glance that it was Cheng Yujin’s handwriting.

He was engaged to Cheng Yujin at first, and then married Cheng Yumo. He walked around with the Marquis of Yichun frequently, and he knew something about the Cheng family.

He had seen several dishes of extremely delicate dim sum at Mrs. Cheng’s place. At that time, he and Cheng Yujin had not yet broken off their engagement. The other party’s grandma proudly said that the eldest girl made it herself.

At this moment, the cakes in front of the prince’s case are exactly the same as before.

It’s not that the cakes look the same, but the elegant and delicate style, obviously from the same person.

But Huo Changyuan clearly heard from the Cheng family that Cheng Yujin didn’t do it often.

Just as she is very good at female celebrity, she is also very good at cooking, but she seldom does it herself, and only few times outsiders can see it.

Huo Chang Yuan couldn’t help thinking, didn’t she say that she rarely did anything, why did she listen to the voices of those ministers in the Eastern Palace, that the prince’s after-dinner snacks were all delivered by Cheng Yujin these days?

There is such a big difference between an outsider and a husband-in-law.

Huo Chang Yuan found it inconceivable that Cheng Yujin, with such a thin and cool temperament, was so careful and considerate after marriage, she was an example of a good wife and mother.

Huo Chang Yuan’s mind was complicated for a while, when Li Chengjing’s voice came from above, Huo Chang Yuan quickly held his breath and didn’t dare to let go.

When the sky darkened slightly, it was also time to scatter the ya.

Because of what he saw in Wenhua Palace in the afternoon, Huo Changyuan was always inexplicably irritable and didn’t have the heart to drink with his colleagues, so he turned down the entertainment and led his horse home alone.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the old lady at the door greeted him and said in a loud voice, “Master Hou, you are back! Today, Miss Biao is here. The old lady was very happy, but she didn’t know how to hinder her. Now the lady in the upper room is arguing with the old lady, go and have a look!”

Cheng Yumo had a fight with his mother?

Why is she so noisy?

Huo Chang Yuan frowned subconsciously, lifted his robe with force, and walked quickly to the upper room.
