Cheng Yujin didn't expect that it was Li Chengjing. She was startled and immediately got up to salute: "Your Highness, are you back? I'm not polite. "
Cheng Yujin said that she was about to get out of bed. Li Chengjing pressed her shoulder and pressed her to sit back on the bed: "I didn't let them wake you up. Just sit down."
After Li Chengjing finished, he paused and glanced at Cheng Yujin unhappily: "I told you not to call me you. I look so old? "
Cheng Yujin was surprised and doubted her ears. If she heard right just now, Li Chengjing's words are full of complaints and even some grievances?
Cheng Yujin's lips moved, and finally said very tactfully: "Your Highness, you are young and promising. No matter where you are, you can be called a young talent. How can anyone say you are old?"
"Not yet." Li Chengjing's fingers flicked on his knee, and his eyes looked at Cheng Yujin, "I can't say, that's what I think?"
It's unreasonable. Cheng Yujin suddenly understands why those men dislike the troubles of their wives. Now Cheng Yujin feels speechless and doesn't want to talk to him, but she has to reason with him.
"That's not what it says, your highness." Cheng Yujin tried to reason with the angry prince, "it has nothing to do with age. It's a matter of propriety and principle. Your highness, you are the king and I am the minister in the public, you are the husband and I am the wife in the private, husband and wife respect each other like guests, dinner still need to raise eyebrows, let alone address? Address is the beginning of all rituals. You can't slack off when you know what's going on. "
Cheng Yujin said that Li Chengjing looked at her silently with dark eyes. Although she could not see any emotion on her face, she was not very happy when she looked at her eyes. Cheng Yujin couldn't speak any more. She felt very helpless.
He was more and more angry when he couldn't listen to reason and talked with him about right and wrong. Cheng Yujin had no choice but to ask, "Your Highness, what do you want?"
Cheng Yuanjing picked up the tea cup and slowly skimmed the lid: "I'll say that again."
"Your Highness, you..."
"Well?"
That's enough. Cheng Yujin couldn't bear it and said, "what are you pestering about?"
"That's right." Li Chengjing was finally satisfied. He lifted the cup and sent it to Cheng Yujin. "Remember later that I married a wife, not a niece. I don't want to hear you talk about nine uncles and you. Good, open your mouth
At the beginning, he asked the old man's topic. After Cheng Yujin really said it, he was worried. Cheng Yujin is very speechless, but it's easy to coax the master. Cheng Yujin doesn't want to make more trouble for herself, so she agrees with him. Cheng Yujin reaches for the tea cup. Li Chengjing dodges and doesn't give it to her. Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrows and looked up at him. Li Chengjing was very calm: "you just said you were thirsty. Your servant girls are busy with other things. I'll take over from them."
Anything else? This is pure nonsense. The only task of Du Ruo and forsythia is to serve Cheng Yujin. Now Cheng Yujin just wakes up. What can they do?
But Li Chengjing didn't blink. He said that Cheng Yujin couldn't do it. She had to drink water according to his wishes, but Li Chengjing was very unfamiliar with people. After a while, Cheng Yujin could not bear to open his hand and said, "let go, I'll come. You just spilled water on my collar
When Cheng Yujin changes her clothes and comes out, the culprit sits on the Luohan bed outside. When she meets her, she can wave without guilt and say, "have you changed? I heard from the palace people that you didn't eat anything at noon. There will be a dinner later. If you don't eat, I'm afraid you will be hungry. Come here and make a cushion first. "
Before Li Chengjing's words were heard, a group of palace people came forward with food boxes, placed delicate porcelain dishes on the table, and then fished back in order. The scene is so familiar that it seems that they are still in Cheng's home. Cheng Yujin goes to Li Chengjing's yard as usual and meets a talented young man. Li Chengjing sees her and doesn't bother to greet her. She just asks people to add a pair of dishes and snacks.
In this atmosphere, Cheng Yujin could not help but relax and naturally sat opposite him. Li Chengjing put a piece of sweet scented osmanthus cake on the plate in front of Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin took a bite and said, "it's a little sweet. I'll make some cakes when I'm free in a few days. Just these days, the lotus is in bloom. After this time, it's not fresh. "
Li Chengjing nods. What Cheng Yujin says is his taste. He doesn't like to eat things that are too sweet and too dry. Cheng Yujin always comes to Li Chengjing to buy people's hearts with cakes. After a long time, Cheng Yujin provides all the cakes before Li Chengjing's case. He gradually raised his appetite, and now he's tired of eating the dim sum of shangshanjian.
Cheng Yujin just said this casually. They always do this in Cheng's house. They don't greet each other. When it comes to the details of food and clothing, I'm familiar with them, just like a couple who have been married for many years and have a family routine.
I'm afraid Cheng Yujin didn't realize how natural she was when she spoke to Li Chengjing just now. Even the taste of food didn't know when she followed Li Chengjing.
It's a good feeling to be favored. When Li Chengjing heard that Cheng Yujin would make food for him, he didn't touch anything on the table. He scooped Cheng Yujin a bowl of congee with pine nuts and Gorgon, and said, "I'm afraid I won't come back early in the evening. It's not convenient to eat outside. If you put a mat on it now, you won't be hungry at that time."Cheng Yujin nodded and this evening the Emperor gave a banquet to celebrate the prince's marriage. The banquet was large in scale. Officials of the former dynasty at least four grades were invited to attend the banquet. Empress Yang was also the leader of the harem to entertain the wives. Two banquets were held at the same time in the palace of the former dynasty. It was the first time for Cheng Yujin to appear in public as a crown princess. The scene was quite grand. It's said to be a dinner party, but no one goes to the banquet with the intention of eating. It's enough to pick two chopsticks and make a show. No one will really eat. Cheng Yujin, as the crown princess, the main character of this banquet, I am afraid it is even more so.
This is also a ridiculous point. Aristocrats spend half of their time holding a banquet, but when it comes to the banquet, no one will really eat. Before going out, the women's family members always pad their stomachs at home, so as not to show their ugliness when they go out.
Cheng Yujin stirred the porridge slowly with a spoon and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know the ladies in the palace. How much do your highness know? Can you tell me? "
Li Chengjing left for a long time, in fact, no longer than Cheng Yujin stayed in the palace. But after all, he was born in the palace. When it comes to the shallow water in the palace, he knows more than Cheng Yujin.
He simply said that the people in the imperial concubine's position in the harem today are lower than those in the fourth imperial concubine. They have no chance to talk to Cheng Yujin. Whether they know her or not is the same.
Cheng Yujin nodded as she listened, and wrote down the names of several important people. One of them was Xu Shufei.
Xu Shufei is the eldest daughter of the state of Chang, Xu Zhixian and Xu Nianchun. Previously, because the Xu family had a royal concubine, Cheng Min married to the government of the state of Chang. People in the government of the state of Chang say that all the ladies in the family are proud of each other. Therefore, the Cheng family makes every effort to make friends with the Xu family, hoping to bring along the light of the lady in the palace.
Cheng Yujin grew up listening to the story of the lady of the Xu family. Unexpectedly, the first time she met was at her wedding banquet.
What happened in the world is really unspeakable.
In fact, after the Palace Banquet, as soon as Xu Shufei entered the palace, she looked around. When she saw Cheng Yujin enter the palace, she drank to Cheng Yujin from a long distance. When Cheng Yujin saw it, she raised her glass and gave a smile.
The concubines on both sides were in a mixed mood. With empress Yang, none of these imperial concubines want to be favored. It's even more wishful thinking to give birth to a prince and daughter. That's why the concubines in the harem didn't fight seriously. What did they fight for?
Other concubines depend on their qualifications or family background. Only princess Xu Shufei, who is neither superior nor inferior, has been neither favored nor able-bodied. However, because of the government of the state of Chang, she has been granted a concubine. Her position in the harem is very embarrassing. Among the four imperial concubines, Xu Shufei is the last one.
But today, the new crown princess made her debut for the first time. Shufei was so proud all night that she drank several more drinks. Another three imperial concubines saw, very despise, but helpless.
Who let other people's family and the crown princess's family have a close relationship? Some people are popular and some people are envious. What's the relationship between how the second prince and the prince fight? The fate of these concubines has been decided. They can't give birth to princesses and princesses, and can't rely on them for the rest of their lives. After the emperor's departure, they will all convert to the empty gate and go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the emperor for a lifetime. Therefore, whether the final winner is the Yang family or the crown prince, there is no difference for them.
Perhaps, they are looking forward to the crown prince winning more. Because empress Zhong is gone, the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and the Empress Dowager's position will be vacant. Maybe they don't have to move out of the palace, and they can still enjoy peace in the palace for half their lives. Otherwise, hehe, the fate of those concubines in Renzong Dynasty, that is, the old rivals of Empress Dowager Yang, is a lesson for them.
In any case, I have nothing to rely on in the future, but I'm not afraid of taking risks. It's definitely a good business to please the prince and princess. If you lose, it won't be worse than it used to be. If you win, it will be half a life in vain. No wonder Princess Shufei is so happy tonight.
The other concubines were sour and jealous, and their eyes changed.
Xu Shufei did not expect today. Auntie Xiao Jinyu said that she didn't come to the house early to please her niece. Although Xu Shufei was curious, she didn't pay much attention to it. This is just a promising younger generation for her. In the future, by the way, maybe she will ask her sister to bring Cheng Yujin to her, but she won't send someone to say it.
Who knows, two people meet for the first time, turned out to be a lady, to be careful with Cheng Yujin. One is the new princess. Although her family is not promising, she has the prince behind her. What other backers do she need. And Xu Shufei was just an ordinary imperial concubine who had nothing to rely on. Their status and future are not in the same breath.
Xu Shufei sighed in her heart. Originally, the Cheng family was holding the Xu family. In a twinkling of an eye, the positions of the two families changed. The Cheng family will soon be prosperous. Xu Shufei now only wants the family to give her strength, and to make a good relationship with Cheng family. Don't waste two room Cheng Min's awesome way.
Today's Palace Banquet is very grand. Perhaps there is little fresh blood injected into the palace, and people who come to toast Cheng Yujin emerge in endlessly. Later, Cheng Yujin quickly asked Du Ruo and forsythia to mix water in the wine, and then they had a round of toasting.The banquet in the back palace was held together with the previous dynasty. The women's family members could not make trouble here and soon became quiet. However, it was not until the eunuch sent a message that the emperor had left the banquet that the queen announced the end of the banquet. Before and after the banquet is not in the same place, and the emperor left, Li Chengjing may not be able to get away immediately, Cheng Yujin did not wait for her, go back to the palace.
As soon as she entered the palace gate, Cheng Yujin couldn't support herself any more. She couldn't even stand steadily. Forsythia and Duro quickly support her, a pile of sound let the small kitchen ready to wake up soup.
Cheng Yujin is drunk and unconscious. She only vaguely remembers that her servant girl advised her to drink wake-up wine. Suddenly, the back hall was quiet. Then a cool air came and a warm hand covered her forehead. The memory behind is vague, as if someone fed her soup, and as if in a dream.
In the dream, it seems that someone sighed helplessly: "how to get drunk like this, the amount of wine is too bad."
After a while, his voice was calm and flat, and he said, "don't be drunk. Put your hands down and don't touch them. "
Cheng Yujin thought to herself, who is this? She is still so noisy in her dream. She wanted to push the man away, but she didn't listen to her hands and feet. She was so soft for a long time that she couldn't work hard. Li Chengjing was moved by Cheng Yujin's hand hook. She had no strength on her hand, but she had to rub it. Li Chengjing could not attack it or not. In the end, she could only hoop her two restless wrists, press her one hand on the bed, and press her two legs slightly with her calf.
"Sleep well and don't move."
Cheng Yujin couldn't move her hands and feet. She didn't know whether she was aggrieved or uncomfortable. She gently whined, her eyes turned red, and her tail tune was crying. Li Chengjing's body suddenly stretched up, and this is not over, her hands and feet are not honest, even twisted waist, intended to break free from the shackles.
Li Chengjing was silent for a long time. At last, he took a breath of wine from her mouth and said, "I'll remember it for you, and wait until you wake up."
