Chapter 107

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, especially prominent.

Li Chengjing opens his eyes and holds his slender hands. Cheng Yujin kneaded the temple for him attentively. She didn't notice anything else. She was suddenly held by her hand and was startled.

"What's the matter, your highness?"

Li Chengjing didn't speak. Instead, he took her by the wrist and took her to sit beside him. He can't challenge his endurance in broad daylight. Cheng Yujin sat down next to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing naturally took Cheng Yujin by the waist and asked, "how about you? Is everything going well in the palace?"

Cheng Yujin sighed and felt a kind of brotherly friendship.

Cheng Yujin said, "it's good. Today, the Secretary for Rites has sent the regulations for the Mid Autumn Festival of previous years, but the number of years does not look like that of recent years. "

Li Chengjing is smart and knows everything at a click: "are those records different from those of the past two years?"

Cheng Yujin nodded gently, and they looked at each other. There was no need to say more. Everything was silent. Li Chengjing was silent for a moment and sighed: "blame me. If I hadn't been absent for many years, how could you be constrained everywhere."

"Your Highness, what is that saying?" Cheng Yujin said, "you have just returned to the Palace this year. It's very rare that the staff in the palace can be arranged like this. If your Highness has been growing up in the palace, it is true that he will have deeper connections. But in this way, how can he marry me? "

Cheng Yujin's words are not adulterated. She has just entered the palace, and she has no connections. If Li Chengjing hadn't given her hands, Cheng Yujin would have been more difficult to take the first step. Li Chengjing can't reveal the secret that he knew he was the prince for a long time, so he can't bring people outside the palace in. Otherwise, it's easy for maidservants to explain. What do those eunuchs say?

Fortunately, the emperor firmly stood on Li Chengjing's side. With the emperor's cooperation, Li Chengjing slowly sent his own people into the palace a year ago and placed them in various positions, but most of his hands were outside the palace. From the day Cheng Yujin entered the palace, Li Chengjing handed over this part of the palace to her.

Without Li Chengjing's foreshadowing, Cheng Yujin did not have the confidence to fight against empress dowager Yang today. Although it's difficult now, as long as we plan carefully and arrange carefully, we still have one strike. Li Chengjing said that it was unreasonable to blame him for not arranging everything well. It's true that Cheng Yujin is unprincipled and partial to herself, but she's rational and doesn't make trouble out of nothing.

Li Chengjing can't say anything to refute. It's also true that if he hadn't been lost in the mountain torrents and exiled among the people, he would not have gone to Cheng's house and knew Cheng Yujin. Maybe their destinies are totally different. Li Chengjing will never know a big girl named Cheng Yujin in the Marquis's mansion of Yichun.

Li Chengjing seems to have lost something, but he is more fortunate. He suddenly had a very dangerous and mysterious feeling. It was clear that something had never happened, but he just had an intuition that there were too many coincidences along the way between him and Cheng Yujin. As long as he was one step away, maybe he would not meet Cheng Yujin and she would not become his wife.

For example, in the early spring of Jianwu's year, he braved the wind and snow to come to see Mr. Cheng. On the road he took, he would not have met his wife. If Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan had not been there, Li Chengjing would not have met Cheng Yujin, and Cheng Yujin would not have chased him to the house of Mr. Cheng. After that, Lord Cheng asked them to work together to make a screen. Naturally, it was impossible. Taking Li Chengjing's relationship with Mrs. Cheng as an example, he doesn't often go to Shouan hall, but Cheng Yujin seldom goes to other places except Shouan hall. Even if she meets him in Mrs. Cheng's courtyard by chance, they are only likely to become nodding friends.

Next, he was often away from the Cheng family because of the Court Affairs, but Cheng Yujin was engaged to marry under the arrangement of the family, and then he became a stranger. Perhaps when he regains his identity as the East Palace, Cheng Yujin, as a high-ranking woman, will come to visit the East Palace on New Year's day. However, one of them is the prince and the other is the minister's wife. Even if they encounter each other in the East Palace, they will avoid suspicion and disappear from each other.

Li Chengjing suddenly became extremely emotional. He thought that fate was unfair to him, but he didn't want to. Today, he is the biggest eccentric of fate. After 14 years of ups and downs, the crown prince is still on him. He wandered alone for 14 years, but in the last year of the Cheng family, he met his wife.

Cheng Yujin saw that Li Chengjing was thoughtful and did not speak for a long time. She quietly picked her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, what are you thinking? Why do you look so serious? "

"I'm thinking that Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin should be sent away far away." Li Chengjing seems to be joking, but when he looks down at Cheng Yujin, his eyes are deep and calm, and there is no color of joking. For a moment, people are not sure whether he is talking casually or not.

Lin Qingyuan came to Cheng's house because of him. He and Cheng Yujin should not have met, but Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin are probably Cheng Yujin's original husband.

It's hard just to think about it. Mingmingren is by his side, but Li Chengjing can't restrain his jealousy at the thought that Cheng Yujin should have married Huo Changyuan or Zhai Yanlin.

Cheng Yujin hesitated for a moment, then thought how it was possible that other men might take the opportunity to suppress their former rival, but how could Li Chengjing do such childish and extreme things. Cheng Yujin thought he was joking, so she said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are wronging me. When I was in the Cheng family, I almost stayed under your eyes. People don't know. Don't you know my action? These two men and I have never met each other. If we meet, we can avoid each other. Even if we meet by chance, we have never been false"I know." Li Chengjing holds Cheng Yujin '

As for Cheng Yujin's process of seeking marriage for herself, Li Chengjing ignores it. In any case, Cheng Yujin is right. It must be other men who are wrong.

Cheng Yujin didn't answer the dangerous topic. If you don't blame her, she didn't dare to marry the prince at that time. Who knew Li Chengjing had a mind.

Li Chengjing, holding a delicate hand like jade in his palm, suddenly said, "when I was young, I used to complain about the injustice of heaven and wantonly deprive me of my destiny, but now I think I should thank fortune. If it wasn't for heaven, how could I know you? "

Cheng Yujin picked her eyebrows when she heard these words. She didn't believe them at all. She took out her hand, poured a cup of new tea for Li Chengjing, handed it to Li Chengjing personally, and said with a smile, "Your Highness really looks up to me. Thank you for your love. Your highness doesn't use much for lunch. I've prepared some snacks for you. Your highness will make do with it for a while. In the evening, I'll prepare another meal for your highness. "

Li Chengjing took the tea, looked down and couldn't help laughing: "if you make do with it, I'm afraid you can't eat the snacks made by Shangshan supervisor."

Whenever Cheng Yujin makes a move, she always wants to make the best of it. The desserts she brought out were exquisite and beautiful, with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste, which made people feel good after seeing them. Li Chengjing picked up one of them and was curious: "how is this snack made?"

The dim sum in Li Chengjing's hand is blue and white, and the turquoise blue gradually turns into porcelain white, and the color changes naturally. Because it is kneaded together with the face, the pattern changes a lot, and the shape is extremely natural. It looks like fine blue and white porcelain.

This is a prescription that Cheng Yujin tried by chance. She tasted it and it was OK. The rare thing is that it looks good, so she brought it with her.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengjing singled out this one. Without him, dim sum like blue and white porcelain is too eye-catching.

Cheng Yujin said: "this is the color I accidentally adjusted after soaking in butterfly bean flower. I didn't expect that it turned into a gradual change. I was also very surprised."

Li Chengjing nodded slightly. He took it to have a look and said, "in your opinion, how about making moon cakes with it in Mid Autumn Festival?"

Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, and then seriously twisted her eyebrows. Because Ben was also an unexpected product, she just wanted to be fresh and didn't think about deeper use. But if you use this formula to make moon cakes, moon cakes mean reunion and have blue and white porcelain patterns, which can be described as auspicious and elegant, just the essence of palace cakes. Moreover, if she is to host the Mid Autumn Festival banquet this year, what can she do better than presenting a dish of exquisite moon cakes in front of the officials.

Cheng Yujin suddenly opened up and gave birth to many kinds of ideas. Cheng Yujin stood up and tried to give Li Chengjing a salute. Li Chengjing held her hand and asked with a smile, "what are you doing?"

"Thank you for your advice. Your Highness has solved my urgent need. It's a great help." Cheng Yujin's words are true. Li Chengjing is worthy of being a royal. Even though he was not in the palace for many years, his innate keen sense of smell did not fade. Cheng Yujin needs an opportunity to establish her own name, but she can't make too much publicity and grab the limelight of empress Yang. This entry point is just right.

Li Chengjing said: "I just mention it casually. What you really do depends on yourself." His voice declined. Suddenly, his voice changed, and he turned a big bend abruptly: "but Qianlima often has it, Bole doesn't often have it. You can't forget your kindness. How do you plan to repay me?"

Cheng Yujin glared at him again, got up and put away the empty food box: "Your Highness is noble and upright. She is willing to help others, but she never asks for anything in return. I admire his highness Gao Yi very much. Naturally, I feel grateful for him in my heart and take him as an example everywhere. This is the best reward. "

When Cheng Yujin finished, she didn't give Li Chengjing a chance to be unreasonable. Shi Shiran left: "Your Highness is in charge of government affairs, but I have been harassing him for a long time. I'm ashamed in my heart. I'll leave first. "

In the afternoon, the Secretary of the Ministry of industry came to discuss with Li Chengjing. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had already practiced the ability of grasping the key points quietly. Almost as soon as he came in, he noticed several exquisite cakes before the crown prince's case.

He vaguely remembers that it was not in the morning. When Li Chengjing saw that the Secretary of the Ministry of industry had come, he didn't do more greetings and soon got to the point. The Minister of the Ministry of industry quickly took back his thoughts and seriously discussed political affairs with the crown prince.

When Huo Changyuan came, the eunuch stopped him: "Prince Jingyong, stay here. The Secretary of the Ministry of work is still in it to discuss with his highness. Prince Jingyong needs to wait."

"It's natural. Thank you for reminding me." Huo Changyuan should not do anything. Whether it is Shangshu or prince, which is not he can neglect, Huo Changyuan can only wait outside.

After a while, two ministers of the eastern palace came in. They sent files to the prince. At the moment, they could only wait. Dry wait boring, eunuch and stand far away, the two Wen Chen acquaintance, can not help talking in a low voice.

One of them asked, "when I just came out, I saw the cake in front of the prince's case. It's strange. I haven't seen it before. Did the father-in-law of Shangshan prison come up with a new idea? "

Another man shook his head and said, "the time when the Food Supervisor delivers food is fixed. The prince is strict. How can he send someone to deliver snacks during the period of administration? In the afternoon, I have never seen anyone in charge of catering, but the prince and the concubine have been here in Shenshi. "The subordinate minister was surprised: "did the Crown Princess send snacks to Her Highness in person?"

"There's nothing strange about it." The other one has been called by the prince for many times these days, and he knows more about Wenhua hall. "It's not just dim sum. His Highness has his own food, clothing and tea. He doesn't eat public meals with other people," he said

They stayed in the Imperial City in the afternoon and did not go home at noon. Instead, they were fed by Guanglu temple. Cooking in Guanglu temple Alas, it is said that there are ten ridiculous places in the capital, and Guanglu temple is honored to be one of them.

The emperor had a close eunuch to cook his own meal, that is, the "inner blister" supervisor, while the cabinet elders could open their own kitchen. However, these ordinary civil servants have no such magic power, they can only follow the public to eat a big pot.

At noon, his royal highness didn't eat much, not to mention the prince, his subordinates couldn't eat either. When he saw that his royal highness had an extra meal, he was very envious. He thought it was the kindness of the eunuchs. Now when he asked, he realized that it was not the eunuchs, but the crown princess.

The subordinate official was even more sad, thinking that he might as well not ask. Another person understood his mood at the moment, patted him on the shoulder and sincerely advised: "don't envy me. If I can't come, I'd better do a good job and go to the restaurant in the evening."

The official sighed. He could only hope to have a good meal after Sanya. When he saw that Huo Changyuan was also there, he said hello to Huo Changyuan: "Jingyong Hou, you are also there."

"Yes, I have something to report to the prince."

The subordinate officials nodded. They were civil and military, clean and noble. There was no intersection. Meeting and saying hello was the limit. Fortunately, not long after the Secretary of the Ministry of work came out, he and Huo Changyuan arched each other, Huo Changyuan will be Su Rong into the hall of literature.

Huo Changyuan didn't listen to the conversation between the two subordinate officials just now, but when he came out of the same room, he could not help listening. After entering the hall, he saluted Li Chengjing. When he got up, he subconsciously looked for cakes with novel shapes.

He did see it next to the case. Look at the size of the plate, these cakes have been used, only a few are left. Huo Changyuan immediately recognized that it was Cheng Yujin's handwriting.

He was engaged to Cheng Yujin at first, and then married Cheng Yumo. He walked around the Marquis's residence in Yichun very frequently, and knew more or less about the Cheng family. At that time, he and Cheng Yujin had not yet given up their marriage. The other party's mother was very proud to say that this was made by the big girl herself.

At the moment, the cake before the prince's case is the same as before. It's not that the pastry looks the same, but that elegant and exquisite style, obviously from the same person.

But Huo Changyuan clearly heard from Cheng's family that Cheng Yujin didn't do it very often. Just as she is very good at needlework, she is also very good at cooking, but she seldom does it herself, and few outsiders can see it.

Huo Changyuan couldn't help thinking, didn't she say that she seldom did it? Why did she listen to the words of those ministers who belonged to the eastern palace? These days, the prince's snacks were all sent by Cheng Yujin?

There is such a big difference between an outsider and his husband. Huo Changyuan thinks it's incredible that Cheng Yujin's thin and cool temperament is so considerate after marriage. She is a model of a good wife and mother.

Huo Changyuan's mind was complicated for a time. At this time, Li Chengjing's voice came from the top. Huo Changyuan held his breath and did not dare to spread.

When it's a little dark, it's time to disperse. Because of what Huo Changyuan saw in the Wenhua hall in the afternoon, he didn't know why he was always inexplicable and irritable. He didn't have the heart to drink with his colleagues, so he pushed off the social intercourse and led his horse home alone.

As soon as he entered the house, Hou's mother-in-law at the door met him and said in a voice, "you're back, sir! Today, Miss Biao came. The old lady was very happy, but she didn't know how to get in the way of her eyes. Now in the upper room, my wife is making trouble with me. Go and have a look

Did Cheng Yumo quarrel with his mother? Why is she so noisy? Huo Changyuan subconsciously frowned, forced to lift the robe, quickly walked to the upper room.
