The plague was finally suppressed by Cui Yi and several generals in the western camp, and it was not reported to Emperor Jianyuan, as for the soldiers who died of illness, anyway, the life in the military camp was hard, so they fabricated a vicious disease casually, and then gave their families ten taels of silver, and they whitewashed the past.

Zhiying deliberately left the prescription written by Cheng Fengyi, if there is no accident, in another two and a half years, Cui Yi will be exiled to Ganzhou, which is a desolate place that only exists in her imagination, and there will probably be no decent doctor, and it is always not bad to prepare early.

If you can't take Cheng Fengyi to Ganzhou together, then you can only get as close to her as possible in the past two years and learn a little more medical skills.

On the one hand, the Cheng family is kind to Cui Yi and needs to come to the door to thank him in person, on the other hand, there is a relationship between Bailizan and Zhai Rang, and it is relatively easy to win over Cheng Hu.

Cui Yi didn't have any opinion on going to the banquet, but Zhiying said that he wanted to go with him, so he didn't agree.

"What are you going to do," Cui Yi reclined on the general's couch, his bipod shook on the side of the wooden case, and looked at her coldly, "Who do you want to hook up with in the name of this king?" ”

Holding Ying is overjoyed: "The prince is aware of everything, and it is Miss Cheng who the concubine wants to hook up with." ”

Cui Yi sighed, exchanged his legs up and down, and Zhiying went around to the other side to continue beating his legs.

Cui Yi asked: "What are you doing hooking up with someone who is already married?" ”

Zhiying smiled and said: "You can also hook up if you get married, Miss Cheng's deceased mother is the heir of the King of Medicine, I will learn some skills from her to heal diseases and injuries, and if the prince is sick and injured in the future, won't you have to trouble people to run again?" ”

Cui Yi thought about it, so he nodded: "Then you will go with this king." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Wear a bright dress, don't go to the funeral, it's unlucky."

“…… Be. ”

Cheng Hu married his daughter, not a relative of the emperor, nor a high-ranking official and a rich man, but a poor talent, the family only has two acres of land and three chickens, and the cattle that ploughed the fields in the spring are borrowed from the next village, and the colleagues who received the invitation all expressed their incomprehension about this, with Cheng Hu's prestige in the court, it is not difficult to find a good husband for his daughter, why should he be so wronged by her?

Regarding the questions of his friends, Cheng Hu just hid haha, diverted the topic and invited everyone to eat and drink.

Cui Yi came to congratulate him, and became the most noble person in the entire Shangshu Mansion for a while, and all the officials who had been seated hurriedly got up and saluted, Cui Yi waved his hand casually: "This king is just a guest, you don't have to be polite." ”

The officials retreated resignedly, and they couldn't help but have some speculations in their hearts, Cui Yi has always looked down on the literati, let alone dealt with the Chinese officials of the DPRK, how could he come to the joy of Miss Hecheng's family, and when did he and Cheng Hu get together? Among these people, there are many cronies of the prince, who pretended to eat and drink with their colleagues, while secretly observing Cui Yi's actions.

However, Cui Yi didn't plan to do anything at all, he presented a congratulatory gift to Cheng Hu, and expressed his gratitude to Cheng Fengyi for saving his life before, and then there was no more, like ordinary guests, he found a table to sit down, eat and drink.

The prince's cronies were puzzled.

When everyone's attention was on Cui Yi, she just covered for Zhiying, and after obtaining Cheng Hu's consent, she went straight to the new house in the backyard.

In the cave room, Cheng Fengyi had already removed the red hijab, and pointed at the same time: "Get rid of those things on the bed!" This still made it impossible for people to sit, and besides, I went to the kitchen to bring two dishes, and starved to death. ”

The maid said with trepidation: "But Miss, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Cheng Fengyi's phoenix eyes glared: "Rules? What rules? I'm the rule! Just go! ”

"Miss Cheng is full of spirit, she really doesn't let her eyebrows," Zhiying walked in with a smile while carrying a food box, "I made some longan red bean cake in the morning, if you don't dislike it, eat a little to cushion your stomach first." ”

As soon as Cheng Fengyi heard that there was something to eat, she immediately grabbed her hand gratefully as if she had seen a relative: "Why bother to ask Miss Cheng to see her like this, Mrs. is from a famous family, if you don't dislike it, we sisters are commensurate!" - What kind of red bean cake should I eat quickly. ”

Zhiying smiled dumbly, she didn't expect her to be so hungry, she hurriedly opened the food box, the first layer was neatly stacked with twelve pink and white pastries, and the incision revealed longan minced meat, red beans, sesame seeds and other fillings, Cheng Fengyi took a bite, and was so happy that she was about to cry: "It's so delicious!" My sister still has this craft, and the prince is really blessed. ”

"I'm fifteen ...... this year"

"Ah, then I'm two years older than you, so I'll call you sister. My sister sits down and eats together, there is tea here, come and come. ”

Hooking up is easier than expected, and with a box of pastries, there is one more sister to keep a profit.

In the cave room, the two women were talking and laughing together to eat pastries, but Cui Yi was sitting alone at the table during the feast, pouring himself a drink.

Most of the people who came to drink the wine were Chinese officials, and they all knew that he looked down on readers, and no one would be stupid enough to come to him, at most come over to toast a glass of wine and go back, so the other tables were laughing and laughing, only Cui Yi was at this table where there was no one around, and it was deserted.

Rao is he doesn't like to read people, and he will never be happy when he is put aside like this, Cui Yi played with the wine glass in his hand boredly, and glanced at the door leading to the backyard from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

She has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back, what is it like to let this king sit here alone and drink!

Cui Yi was not interested in the dishes on that table, he just wanted to end the party quickly, go back and lie on the general's couch and let Zhiying massage him.

"Lord Wang," Zhai Rang, who came back from a round of wine, saw him sitting alone, and hurriedly came over to apologize, "The hospitality is not good, I have neglected the prince, please forgive the prince." ”

Cui Yi nodded indifferently, Zhai Rang sat down to give him vegetables, and said cautiously: "The prince is recovering from a serious illness, and he still needs to pay more attention to his body, and he should not drink too much wine." ”

Cui Yi asked: "You and Bailizan are fellow villagers?" ”

Zhai Rang nodded: "Caomin and Brother Wenyu have known each other since childhood, and they studied with the same gentleman. ”

Unlike Bailizan, who is confident and confident, Zhai Rang looks like a very ordinary scholar, thin and not tall, with nothing outstanding in appearance, cautious in speaking and doing things, and is the type that is thrown into the officialdom and will not be productive for the rest of his life by his own strength.

What did Cheng Hu like about him? What does Cheng Fengyi like about him again? Cui Yi was silent on the surface, but he was curious in his heart.

"The prince has arrived!"

The people in the whole courtyard were in a sensation, Cui Yi squinted slightly unhappily, looked at the hanging flower door, and after a while, Cui Jie walked in with a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Cheng Hu walked quickly to the front of the crowd, lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Cui Jie put his hands behind his back and said casually: "No courtesy." Then he looked around, and there were red silks hanging everywhere, "Lord Cheng's house is very lively, is it a happy event?" ”

Cheng Hu got up and stepped aside: "Yes, the old minister's daughter got married today." ”

Cui Jie didn't look at him, his sharp eyes swept over every face present one by one, and those civil officials were immediately buried their heads when they were looked at by him, wishing that they would be more inconspicuous.

"It turned out to be Lord Cheng's daughter's marriage, why didn't anyone notify me of such a big happy event? I'd like to prepare some congratulatory gifts. ”

This...... Cheng Hu couldn't answer, so he had to bury his head and make a deferential appearance.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a private matter, and it is all up to the master to invite who he wants to invite or not, even Emperor Jianyuan has no right to interfere, but Cui Jie stood in the courtyard of the Cheng family and opened his mouth to ask, Cheng Hu categorically couldn't answer "The old minister didn't plan to invite His Royal Highness", nor could he answer "His Royal Highness the Prince's daily affairs are full of opportunities, and the old minister didn't offer the invitation because he was afraid of disturbing His Highness", in short, answering everything is wrong.

At this moment when he was silent, Cui Jie had already seen Cui Yi kneeling in the distance, and walked towards him, and everyone hurriedly avoided him along the way.

Cui Yi stared at the ground expressionlessly, until the prince's dragon-patterned soap boots appeared in his field of vision, and then he said indifferently: "Brother greets His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"The second brother is very well-informed, why didn't he send someone to inform the foolish brother?" Cui Jie spoke softly, but there was a chill behind his words.

Cui Yi lied casually: "The younger brother didn't know in advance." ”

The corners of Cui Jie's mouth hooked, full of interest: "Oh? Then how did the second brother end up here? ”

"It was the concubine who dragged the prince here."

Zhiying came back from the cave room in the backyard, and just heard the eunuch Fude's voice "The prince has arrived", and hurriedly hid behind the arch, wanting to avoid facing him, but Cui Jie's intentions were not good, and there were even more signs of targeting Cui Yi, just with Cui Yi's head, what kind of lies can be made up! So Zhiying had to come out hard.

"The slave and maid knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince," Zhiying came behind Cui Yi, knelt down and saluted, and then explained, "The slave and Miss Cheng are old acquaintances, and they received the invitation very early, but they were afraid that the prince would not like to deal with civil officials, so they didn't tell the prince for a long time, and they also deceived the prince all the way today." ”

Cui Jie's gaze became more and more meaningful, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not decrease, his head was slightly tilted, and he looked at the back of Zhiying's lowered head, and a small piece of the back of his neck exposed in the collar - white and smooth, not like he had some festering disease.

"Yes." Cui Jie didn't want to ruin his good reputation, so he turned around and beckoned, and Fu walked up quickly with a beautiful box.

Cui Jie handed the box to Cheng Hu: "A little meaning, it should be congratulated for the newcomer." ”

Cheng Hu raised his hands above his head and took them carefully: "Thank you for the reward from His Royal Highness Prince Xie." ”

Came to the door with a gift to find fault - this is not like Cui Jie's style in the past, Zhiying was very puzzled, even if it was because he heard that Cui Yi was also drinking wine in Chengfu, with his old scheming, he would not run to smash the field in person so impulsively.

"Okay, I still have a lot of music to read, so I'll go back, and the adults will continue to drink."

Cui Jie left mercifully, and the officials who knelt all over the ground in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

The guests who were very close to Cheng Hu couldn't help but complain: "Lord Cheng, you can make us miserable this time, in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turns back to the emperor and says that we are forming a party for personal gain, then how should it be good, how should it be good!" ”

"I see...... "Zhiying understood.

"What is this," Cui Yi looked unhappy, "Hooking up with someone is also procrastinating." ”

Zhiying said in a low voice: "The prince is not here to embarrass Lord Cheng, nor to demonstrate to the prince, he is here to warn the other guests - I recognize you one by one." ”

Cui Yi's brows furrowed suddenly, and his thin lips pursed.

"If anyone disobeys me, I will report it to my father......" Zhiying said word by word, "saying that he conspired with King Wu to rebel." ”
