Qi Simin actually said a nonsense, and she regretted it.

Regarding this good idea that almost broke his head and finally had a flash of inspiration, Qi Simin really felt that he was actually wise and foolish. She couldn't remember from which miscellaneous book she had seen such a sentence before, the solution to the most difficult things in the world was just coercion and temptation.

Qi Simin thought deeply about this, and applied what she learned to the most difficult thing in her life today.

It's just that although the words are good, she really doesn't have the courage to coerce and lure the queen, and she can only choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in comparison. After all, this is the marriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as he can convince His Royal Highness the Prince, he will be able to get rid of it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never married a wife or concubine at this age, and his vision must be extremely high, and he is afraid that he is extremely reluctant to do so. In this case, it must be nine out of ten to convince him.

Stabilizing his mind, Qi Simin looked up at Ji Chengyu with burning eyes. Ji Chengyu has been standing behind the desk and has not stopped writing, at this moment he seems to have noticed something, he was slightly stunned, put down his pen and ink, and walked towards Qi Simin with his hand.

Seeing Ji Chengyu's tall body approaching, Qi Simin's gaze followed him, and he unconsciously raised his head higher and higher, until he was completely shrouded in the figure of a man.

Qi Simin knows the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion. Knowing that this kind of thing must not lose its momentum, he stood up suddenly, reached out to relieve the heavy burden behind him before Ji Chengyu could react, and put it on the table with great momentum.

The "clanging" sound of gold and jade hitting came into Qi Simin's ears, as if he heard his own heartbreak.

Ji Chengyu looked at her inexplicably, Qi Simin took a deep breath, opened the bag and revealed the gold and silver jewelry inside, and said with a painful face: "This is all my savings over the years, all of my daily self-care and New Year's money, all here." ”

Ji Chengyu was puzzled, but his face was still indifferent and calm, and he asked, "...... is this?" ”

Qi Simin said with a sincere expression: "This is a thank you gift, thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving him the day before yesterday." ”

Although coercion and temptation, coercion comes first, and temptation comes later. But there is also a saying that it is good to salute first and then to fight, so if you can use inducement to solve this matter, it is better not to coerce.

Ji Chengyu looked straight into Qi Simin's eyes, and didn't bother to understand the unfinished words in her words. The expression in his eyes changed several times, but his face was silent, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart, but there was no way to deal with it for a while.

Seeing that Ji Chengyu was silent for a long time, Qi Simin thought that he was too little, and bit his lower lip and said, "I have already given everything I have, and even the dowry left to me by my mother has been secretly taken out." ”

Ji Chengyu's eyes were unconsciously attracted by Qi Simin's biting lower lip, and he couldn't help but think of the touch she took the initiative to kiss that day......

He looked away, coughed lightly, and his thoughts calmed down.

"Since you have even taken out the dowry, how can this king refuse?"

Qi Simin didn't want him to speak so well, so he asked tentatively, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean...... Accepted? ”

Seeing Ji Chengyu nodding, the big stone in Qi Simin's heart fell to the ground, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he got up to say goodbye. Ji Chengyu had already spoken: "I heard that your pastry making skills are good, and it just so happens that this king wants to use some leisure food right now, I wonder if I can have this mouth today?" ”

Qi Simin was stunned and blurted out: "I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about it?" ”

Zhang felt that his daughter didn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was intoxicated with cooking, and he had never allowed his family to pass it on, Qi Simin couldn't help but wonder how Ji Chengyu, who was only a few sides of the relationship, knew.

Ji Chengyu shook his thousand pounds in two and said, "I heard the queen mother mention it, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

Qi Simin was stunned when she thought of the majestic queen mother, and she didn't ask any more questions. I thought that my savings would not be taken seriously to His Royal Highness the Prince, and since I came to thank him, he should naturally show some sincerity.

She rolled up her sleeves, suddenly came to her senses, and asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to eat?" ”

Ji Chengyu saw her instantly radiant, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Just make a few dishes that you are good at." ”

After saying that, he called Xu Quan to come in and take Qi Simin to the kitchen, Xu Quan didn't know what his master was planning for a while, for fear that Qi Simin would accidentally hurt himself in the kitchen, and he couldn't get away from the matter at hand and follow him. happened to see Hongluan, so he asked her to come and star.

With Xu Quan's instructions, and knowing that it was the master's intention, several cooks in the stove carefully gave Qi Simin a hand. Qi Simin has always been like a fish in water in the stove, and soon devoted himself to forgetting that he was in the prince's mansion.

She counted the things she used one by one, because Ji Chengyu likes to eat pastries, and the queen also specially rewarded an imperial chef who is good at making pastries, and the utensils and materials are naturally readily available, which makes Qi Simin very satisfied.

Only then did she remember to ask: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes sweet or salty pastries every day?" ”

Without waiting for the pastry maker to speak, Hongluan on the side had already spoken first: "Salty." ”

The cook looked at Hongluan in surprise, and shrank when she met her cold eyes. Qi Simin didn't know anything about this, nodded, made a list in his heart, and started his work happily.

After Qi Simin left, Ji Chengyu returned to his desk and continued to deal with government affairs, but his eyes always glanced at the burden intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was scratching his heart with a cat's claw, which made him feel distracted.

After a while, Xu Quan came in, and was a little dumbfounded when he saw a bag of gold, silver, and jewelry on the table.

"This—This is ......"

He thought to himself, I don't know which one is brainless, this gift is too indecent.

As soon as Xu Quan turned this thought in his head, he heard his master say: "Dowry." ”

Xu Quan shook his head, suspecting that he hadn't heard clearly, and before he could ask again, Ji Chengyu had already diverted the topic and asked, "You look so hurried, but there is progress on the side of Dali Temple?" ”

Xu Quan remembered the matter, and immediately put these trivial matters behind, and said with a happy face: "There is news from Dali Temple, Zhang Xianli has already confided in the whole story, the matter is very important, Dali Temple does not dare to deceive, and has hurried into the palace to face the saint." ”

Ji Chengyu calmed his mind and said with a straight face: "Did the person sent to Shao'an reply to the letter?" ”

Xu Quan shook his head and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tan Youwei's death is quite strange, but I hate that we couldn't reach out that day, and after many years, now there are no clues." However, our people are not in vain, and said that Tan Youwei's wife went to Beijing to sue the royal court, and he will definitely set off an uproar in this matter. ”

Ji Chengyu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "My father has always been protective of King Jian, whether it is Zhang Xianli's testimony or Mrs. Tan's grievances, it cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence. ”

Xu Quan's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "If you want to say that there is definite physical evidence, it's not that there is nothing, it's just ......"

Ji Chengyu nodded slowly and muttered, "It seems that he is going to start from the household department." ”

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door twice, and Hongluan said outside: "Master, Miss Qi is here." ”

The next moment, Qi Simin walked in with a tray, on which were placed three plates of various pastries and a bowl of soup, the fragrance went straight to the nose, Xu Quan couldn't help but sniff.

Qi Simin grinned and said, "His Royal Highness can't use it up, and there are still a lot of stoves left, if you like it, go eat it." ”

Ji Chengyu's tense face eased a little, and said to the two, "You guys go down first." ”

Xu Quan pulled the reluctant Hongluan out, Qi Simin smiled and put the food on the small table in the study one by one, and looked at Ji Chengyu with an expectant face. Ji Chengyu cleaned his hands, sat down, and tasted chopsticks.

Ruyi crisp, lotus root flour cake, Aiwowo, and finally drank a sip of sweet lotus seed white fungus soup. Not to mention that the fillings used in Ruyi Crisp and Aiwowo are salty, even the lotus root flour cake and lotus seed white fungus soup are also less sugar and have a sweet taste.

Seeing that he had used them one by one, Qi Simin couldn't help but ask expectantly, "How is it?" Is it tasty? I know that you like salty and less sugar, so they are all salty, fragrant and sweet, what do you think? ”

Ji Chengyu stirred the soup with his hand, and asked casually: "How do you know that I like salty food?" ”

Qi Simin replied without any scheming: "It was Miss Hongluan who told me, and it will not be wrong for her to follow you every day." ”

Ji Chengyu was noncommittal, but the chopsticks in his hand were non-stop, and he quickly used a few plates of pastries, and even the bowl of lotus seed white fungus soup was quiet.

Seeing him like this, Qi Simin couldn't help but feel good, and said without thinking: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes my craftsmanship so much, how about I send you a new dim sum in the future?" ”

Qi Simin has always liked to work this food, and the new recipes he developed can be published in books. It's just that there is no use for the constraints of identity, although everyone in the house is full of praise every time she comes out of the pot, but she always suspects that they are just coaxing herself.

It's rare to have such a person who doesn't coax herself and really appreciates her cooking skills, Qi Simin has a bit of a bosom friend, and she can't help but be a little excited.

Ji Chengyu looked at her with a smile, "Isn't this too tiring?" ”

Qi Simin waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, don't bother, anyway, the Qi Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are not far away." ”

Ji Chengyu pointed to the table with his fingertips and whispered, "Although it is not far away, it would be better if it could be closer......"

Qi Simin didn't hear it clearly, and asked, "What? ”

Ji Chengyu looked at her and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Qi Simin was politely sent back to Qi Mansion by Xu Quan, because Qi Simin ran out secretly, so Qi Simin got out of the carriage before arriving at Qi Mansion.

She crept in through the back door, thinking that she hadn't gone out of the door in vain, and she consciously had a friendship with Ji Chengyu, and reached an agreement, and finally had two more years to live in peace.

I didn't want her to look up and bump into her angry mother Zhang, and there was a helpless Bai Yanran standing beside her. Qi Simin looked at Zhang's flaming eyes, and his heart tightened, and he knelt down obediently with his hands on his ears.

"Mother, I was wrong."
