Only the royal or favored people are eligible to be late for the things made by the Imperial Kitchen. So ordinary people just eat a chef who is a little worse than the imperial kitchen.

In fact, this chef is just unlucky, and his skills are still very good.

It's hard to imagine that such a delicate dim sum came out of such a man who looks like five big and three thick.

Qin Ji said: "Then I must go to Guo's house again another day and ask this master for advice." ”

Yu Mingzhi clapped his hands happily and said, "Great, I'm worried that I haven't eaten enough." ”

Mrs. Yu smiled: "Look at your greed, be careful to eat too much fat like a pig." After a pause, she said thoughtfully, "But you did eat more today than usual." ”

It stands to reason that in the evening, after Miss Guo Er's incident, everyone didn't have much heart to eat, although they pretended to be lively, but they couldn't hide it under a closer look, everyone was worried that this matter would bring disaster to the Guo family, and eating it in the mouth was as tasteless as chewing wax.

Only Mingzhi not only ate half a bowl of rice, but also ate three pastries.

Yu Mingzhi said: "Is there one?"

Mrs. Yu gave birth to two daughters, and her eyes couldn't help but turn to her daughter's belly, "Are you supposed to be a ......?"

"......" Yu Mingzhi looked down at his stomach, his face was a little hot.

It wasn't too long since the miscarriage had passed, and so quickly, but I couldn't explain it to my mother.

Qin Ji looked at Yu Mingzhi and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

Yu Mingzhi said: "Because today's dinner is really delicious, mother ......"

Mrs. Yu couldn't do anything about her. Sighed and said, "Okay, good, but you must take care of your body more." There are certain things to pay more attention to. Your cousin-in-law is, she was young and ignorant, bouncing and jumping, and the child was gone, and it took two or three years before she finally conceived a second one. ”

Yu Mingzhi pursed his lips, quickly swept away the sadness in his eyes, and responded with a smile: "My daughter has remembered it." ”

"Hmm. Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter and son-in-law with love.

Their smiles and affection fell on her eyes, a little melancholy and a little joy.

With the sound of brisk horses' hooves, the carriage returned to the front of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Jigang helped Yu Mingzhi get out of the car. I saw the porter hurrying over. said in a low voice: "Princess Cheng is here, and now she is waiting in the hall." ”

Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji glanced at each other, and they must have come over so late because King Cheng wanted to accept the side concubine, and they were angry.

Although King Cheng runs outside all year round. But he never brought a woman back. There are no rumors of flowers and grass outside. He is a man who is clean and affectionate. Princess Cheng is his only woman, and she respects each other in the days when they don't get together, and they are a fairy couple in the eyes of outsiders.

But I have been a husband and wife for so many years. suddenly brought back a woman, and she didn't even say hello in advance, as if she had been slapped in the face.

This kind of taste is extremely unpleasant.

These days, she has been in contact with Princess Cheng a lot, so she must want to find someone to talk to and relieve the sorrow in her heart, right?

If it were an ordinary person, Yu Mingzhi would think so, but Princess Cheng is not......

She must have had some other purpose when she came home out of nowhere.

It's as strange as King Cheng suddenly asking for Guo Baozhiyun.

Yu Mingzhi would not show her face, she and Qin Ji walked into the hall quickly, Princess Cheng heard the footsteps, looked up, and then showed a faint smile on her pale and beautiful face, and got up to meet her.

"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin. ”

Mrs. Yu stepped forward to hold her cold hand and asked with concern, "The weather is getting colder, do you have to pay more attention to your body?"

Hearing her say this, Princess Cheng's tears couldn't help but flow out, "Thank you Mrs. Yu for your concern, I, I'm just ......" The latter words have been mixed with crying, making people unrecognizable.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly sat her down, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Who is this who upsets you? I'll clean him up for you." ”

"Mrs. Yu......" Princess Cheng was next to her, "I just want to find someone to talk to, and please don't dislike me." ”

"Where's the word, didn't you say it now, it's a family?" Mrs. Yu comforted softly.

Princess Cheng smiled gratefully.

Yu Mingzhi asked the maid to bring warm tea and personally deliver it to Princess Cheng, "Let's go to the mother's room to talk, sit there and obey, there is a wind through the hall, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

Princess Cheng took a sip of tea, nodded and said to Mrs. Yu: "What Mingzhi said is extremely ...... I'm afraid I'll really bother you, so I'm really sorry not to go. ”

Yu Mingzhi stood beside him, looking at Princess Cheng condescendingly, and his every move couldn't escape her eyes.

After drinking most of the cup of tea, Princess Cheng and Mrs. Yu helped each other to get up, and walked towards the courtyard while whispering. Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji followed not far behind, listening to Princess Cheng's intermittent choked voice.

Yu Mingzhi had something to say, but he didn't know where to start with Qin Ji.

Some things, maybe it's better to wait for Qin Ji to take the initiative to talk about it.

Qin Ji looked at Princess Cheng with a faint gaze, and when she seemed to notice that she was too focused and turned her head, she turned her eyes away and stared at his wife beside her.

"Princess Cheng came here this time, I'm afraid there are some plans, you and your mother-in-law should be cautious. ”

Yu Mingzhi was slightly surprised, this would not be what Qin Ji said.

But Cheng Wang and Cheng Princess suddenly did this, and it had to make people think deeply.

"I see. After a while, she responded.

Qin Ji held Yu Mingzhi's hand and rubbed it a few times in his palm, "Say a few words and persuade Princess Cheng to sleep, come back early to rest, you and your mother-in-law are tired after a whole day today." ”

Yu Mingzhi glanced at the people in front and behind, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed the corner of Qin Ji's lips, "Well, wait for me to go back." ”

Qin Ji laughed silently, and when Princess Cheng's gaze glanced over again, he turned calm, "Okay." I'm waiting for you for my husband. ”

When he arrived at the place where the verandah branched off, Yu Mingzhi waved his hand to Qin Ji, and then quickly caught up with his mother and Princess Cheng, and heard a few complaints, "Now everyone is laughing at me, this tells me how to behave in the future......"

She remembered the appearance of the princess when she met before, and sighed in her heart.

Soon, they came to the wing. Yu Mingyang had already fallen asleep, and they sat in the study talking, and the maid brought water and pastries. And he added a few incense pills to the censer.

Yu Mingzhi smelled the fragrance of contemplation. Picked up the teacup and looked at it, the clear water, there was not a single tea leaf.

It seems that Qin Ji specially instructed the maids, and he was afraid that drinking too much tea would make Princess Cheng more and more energetic. There is no peace in the night.

She was thinking about Qin Ji's carefulness. Princess Cheng's question sounded in his ears: "Mingzhi." Tell me what to do?"

Yu Mingzhi did not immediately refuse, nor did he agree. "Don't worry, I think Uncle Guo means that he thinks that his family background can't reach His Royal Highness the King, and he wants to refuse this matter, so maybe there will be a turnaround, why don't we wait and see what happens, and then make plans?"

Princess Cheng asked, "Really?"

Yu Mingzhi nodded and said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, Uncle Guo was taken aback after hearing Xue Changshi's explanation. If Qin Ji hadn't recognized Xue Changshi, he would have thought that he was a liar who came to the door. He thinks that he is a businessman, and his ancestors have no officials, saying that his family background is innocent, and he is afraid that his daughter will become a side concubine, but his Royal Highness King Cheng will be laughed at, and he is panicked about it. ”

Princess Cheng's eyes lit up, "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has to go through the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker before they are serious." If that Boss Guo is bent on opposing the marriage, he will not force it if he wants to become the king. ”

"Yes. Yu Mingzhi's hand pressed on her shoulder and rubbed it vigorously, "So, you just wait for the good news." ”

Mrs. Yu echoed: "Yes, so you can relax." ”

Princess Cheng nodded, "That's really good......" When she met Yu Mingzhi and Mrs. Yu's gaze, she smiled embarrassedly, "That...... It's not that I look down on the Guo family, I just don't want someone else's woman to be by my husband's side. ”

Mrs. Yu smiled understandingly: "Mingzhi and I are both married, so we naturally understand and won't think about it." ”

Princess Cheng looked at them with gratitude and sighed: "Thanks to you by my side at this time, I feel much better." ”

Mrs. Yu exchanged a few polite words with her, and asked the maid what time it was, "It's not early now, and there is a curfew outside, so you will sleep in our house tonight, right?" she smiled, "Let His Royal Highness King Cheng reflect on it." ”

Princess Cheng responded: "That's right, I used to follow him in everything, and when I got used to it, I thought I was a bully." Merely...... Hope it doesn't bother you. ”

Mrs. Yu said: "You won't trouble me, many people will talk to me, it's too late to be happy." ”

The two men held hands and happily discussed the need to rest, ready to ask the maid to prepare hot water, new bedding and clean clothes.

Yu Mingzhi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that King Cheng is going out again, but now he has to prepare for a happy event, do you have to delay in the capital?"

Princess Cheng turned her head to look at her, "Yes, I'm going to see what to do after I finish this matter, look at his expression, maybe I want to go out with Miss Guo Er." ”

If you really do this, it will be too unusual, no prince and nobleman will pamper the concubine to such an extent, if it is spread, it will be ridiculed.

Would King Ke really do such a thing?

Now Yu Mingzhi thinks that it is very possible.

After King Yi's matter, there is nothing more important than Mingzhe's self-preservation.

Just do one or two ridiculous things to deceive the emperor.

Besides, isn't it really not done yet? There's nothing to lose.

Nowadays, people ridicule that Princess Cheng is no longer a person who gets "exclusive favor", and in front of King Cheng, it is a good thing for princes and nobles to take concubines, and it will not really affect her reputation.

Yu Mingzhi rushed before his mother and said, "Don't think about it, there is still room for things to turn around." Let's freshen up and go to bed first, if there is any news from the Guo family, it will definitely be sent to us as soon as possible. ”

"I'm sorry for you. Princess Cheng said.

"Then you rest, and I won't disturb you. Yu Mingzhi took one last look at Princess Cheng, who was like the two she knew before, maybe people have weaknesses, and Princess Cheng's weakness is that she can't stand the slightest threat and betrayal emotionally.

She looked at the maid who brought the hot water, and walked out of her mother's house quickly, and Zhu'er followed closely behind her.

"Madame, go slowly, let the slave and maid show you the way, be careful that it is too dark, and you will bump into something. ”

Yu Mingzhi slowed down slightly, and said with a smile: "How can I be so careless." She felt something suddenly, blinking at Pearl's face.

Zhu'er was inexplicably looked at her, touched her face, and asked, "Madame, what are you looking at?"

Yu Mingzhi said: "Look at how good-looking our pearls are." ”

Pearl's face flushed, "Madam, you ......"

Yu Mingzhi smiled: "Okay, okay, I know you care about me." It's a little cold at night, so I want to go back to the house sooner. "And Qin Ji must not have slept yet, waiting for her to come back.

Zhu'er responded, "Okay." ”

The master and servant walked back to the main courtyard quickly, and Qin Ji really sat in the study, facing the large stack of official documents spread out on the table, and pinched his eyebrows.

When Yu Mingzhi walked in, he looked up and asked, "Has Princess Cheng stayed at home?"

Yu Mingzhi replied: "I lived with my mother, saying that I wanted to become His Royal Highness in anger." She walked up to Qin Ji and leaned back in the chair instead of him, because she was afraid that he would be tired from a hard day, "What are you looking at?"

It was a map of the state, county, mountains, rivers and lakes marked in detail.

"It can't be that there's something wrong with the waterways, right?"

Qin Ji said: "Exactly, local states and counties are recruiting craftsmen, but there are far from enough people to apply. There was a man who had no heart and an eye to tell the emperor about this matter, which made the emperor very unhappy, and ordered that all young and middle-aged men, who were seriously disabled and sick, should dig and clean the river and build dragon boats. If there are not enough people, even women will be sent. ”

Yu Mingzhi was shocked, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel?"

Qin Ji said: "The emperor's personality, you also understand. ”

Yu Mingzhi was silent, the emperor was bent on going his own way, if he had any idea, he must do it, and ten cows couldn't pull it back. He didn't care what the consequences of doing this or that would lead to it, anyway, all the messes had the most trusted Qin Ji to clean up for him.

After a while, she sighed faintly, "This is self-defeating." ”

But only in this way can some people have a chance to move forward.

It turns out that these things are like this...... She understood, and looked at Qin Ji deeply.

Qin Ji noticed her gaze, stretched out his hand and pressed the back of her hand on his shoulder, and gently rubbed it a few times, "Let's sleep in a while, I have already figured out a way, I will go to the shipyard outside the city tomorrow morning." (To be continued.) )
