Zhu Di flipped his chopsticks and sandwiched a few pieces of fish meat with Queen Xu, and then said: "Why, the rabbit meat is golden in color and has a faint fruity aroma." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, brush a small amount of honey water, the color can be golden, but not excessive, otherwise it will affect the taste of the roast rabbit, and the same goes for the roast goose and roast chicken."

During the roasting process, the glucose and fructose contained in the honey will stay on the surface of the food after it is heated, which will prevent the food from being too hot and scorching during grilling.

The barbecue is brushed with honey, and the surface of the grilled meat skewers is golden brown and shiny, which makes it look more appetizing.

As for the fruity aroma, Cheng Yuan had seen a secret roast duck and goose in his previous life, baked with a kernel shell, which would have a fruity aroma and the meat would not be greasy.

Zhu Di looked at Queen Xu: "If you still want to eat it next time, let Cheng Yuan send it." ”

Empress Xu shook her head, indicating that the baking was too time-consuming and laborious.

In the praise of Queen Xu, Zhu Di seemed to ask casually: "Cheng Yuan, the child is full of moon, bring it into the palace in a few days, I will take a look." ”

"Yes, the minister will bring it into the palace in a few days."

"Oh, the Guogong Mansion has been lively recently, and there are many people who want to come to send congratulatory gifts, so you can tell me about the interesting things about Zhan Ji in your mansion, and what are the good things in the Guogong Mansion that will cause this child not to return to the palace."

Cheng Yuan was slightly surprised, it seems that Zhu Di, the big tiger, is powerful, and he has heard about the congratulatory gifts.

Cheng Yuan picks the key points to narrate the truth, and the rest is roughly over.

"That's it, there has been a war in Mobei recently, and the Tatar Ministry has disturbed the border of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to personally lead the soldiers and horses, but the court and even the provinces are not very stable, so I asked Qiu Fu to assist in Beiping Mansion, and Zhang Yu led the troops and horses and Duoyan Sanwei to the border."

Zhang Yu? Zhang Yu was not recuperating, Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty can let King Ning go." ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, what if Zhu Quan took Duoyan Sanwei with him and did other things, and Zhu Quan was not in the fiefdom.

Zhu Di also thought about it, "Why let King Ning go?" ”

Cheng Yuan's eyes were clean, and he said: "The minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Ning is more familiar with the affairs outside the Guan, and if he is allowed to bring soldiers and horses, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." As for the British duke, who has been unwell lately, I am afraid that he should not overwork. ”

Zhu Di didn't see anything else in Cheng Yuan's eyes, but finally said: "It's not that I'm guarding against Old Seventeen, I heard that he recently went to visit some Taoist celebrity."

As for the twelve, he is not going anywhere now, and he is focused on business, perhaps because he was frightened by what happened at the beginning. ”

Zhu Di is still very sincere to Zhu Bai, but Cheng Yuan believes this.

Then Zhu Di said: "Let Gao Xu go and assist Zhu Neng to lead the troops to fight, and this time Duoyan Sanwei will also go to conquer the Tatar Department." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Liu Yi, and Liu Yi immediately went to give an order.

Then Zhu Di looked at Cheng Yuan, and his eyes seemed to ask, how about I arrange it like this?

Being able to get Zhu Gaoxu to the north can be regarded as buffering Zhu Chubby's contradictions, Cheng Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty has arranged it very well." ”

Empress Xu glanced at Zhu Di and Cheng Yuan, gently called Cheng Yuan over, asked about the child, and said that it was too late, and it was cold on the way back late, so let's leave the palace if it's okay.

Cheng Yuan glanced at his mother-in-law gratefully, and immediately retired to leave, he was afraid that he was staying, and Zhu Di would send a proposition again.

When passing by the Donggong Palace Road, the crown princess Zhang sent someone to wait, and it was a few clothes prepared for Zhu Zhanji.

"Zhen Guogong, Zhan Ji has caused trouble for you and An Cheng." Zhang rarely puts on a show when he speaks, and he is not a bitter person.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu were very satisfied with her.

Cheng Yuan said: "What did the crown princess say, this child is very well-behaved, His Royal Highness and I like him very much, and the chamberlain and the nurse are taking care of him." ”

Zhang was also relieved when he heard this, handed Cheng Yuan the clothes and the pastries that Zhu Zhanji liked to eat, and then arranged for the waiter to take the tribute fruit, saying that it was to bring it back to the mansion to eat.

Cheng Yuan thanked him politely, because it was dark and the night was deep, and it was inconvenient for the ministers to stay, so he didn't want to be caught by Ji Gang, so he left and left.

When he came out of the noon gate, Cheng Yuan saw Zheng He come in with a few people and said hello, and he felt that he had a note stuffed in his hand.

This note was given to him by Da Yuer.

When I returned to the house, I read the contents in the wing.

The note was only one sentence.

"Tonight, the cat barks, see you in the back garden."

Cheng Yuan tore the note off, then returned to the bedroom and lay down.

According to common etiquette, ancient women slept on the outermost side, in addition to getting up early, but also because they slept late at night.

But Cheng Yuan is the opposite here, because he only returns to the bedroom from the study very late every night, and because he has to get up for three or four watches, he lies on the outside.

When falling asleep, the nurse took the child away as usual, because she was afraid of affecting Chengyuan's sleep, and since the full moon, the nurse took it away at night.

Cheng Yuan simply said what Zhu Di meant, "Take Zhengqing into the palace in a few days, Your Majesty said that you want to take a look." ”

After speaking, he lazily lay on the bed, the temperature in the bedroom was very high, warm, but his heart was pounding, not too excited, thinking about whether he should go to the back garden.

Since that night, Da Yuer has rarely interacted with him.

Suddenly pass a note tonight, something?

Cheng Yuan felt a little sorry for An Cheng who was asleep next to him, he was fighting in his heart, if he knew about her temperament...... Or don't go.

Suddenly, he remembered that when he was almost killed by Jing Qing and Mei Yin, Da Yu'er went to save him and gave him half a life.

"What's wrong? Did your father train you? An Cheng smiled and said, "If he trains you, you will come back to train the palace?" ”

It was late at night.

Just after the hour, the sound of a cat came from the roof.

Cheng Yuan opened his eyes, and An Cheng next to him was already asleep, and she curled up on her side and let out a gentle breathing sound.

Cheng Yuan looked out the window, he had to go and see what she had to tell him, after all, she was doing things with Zheng He now.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Cheng Yuan turned over, turned his back to An Cheng, and made up his mind that he still wanted to go to the back garden to see him.

Cheng Yuan gently lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed lightly, gently removed the hand holding his underwear, and walked into the night, groping for his robe and boots.

The moonlight sprinkled on the edge of the window, and Cheng Yuan got dressed and fumbled for his hat.

"Hmm~~ Pony, what are you doing?"

On the bed, An Cheng sighed, with a thick tiredness, and asked.

Cheng Yuan said: "I ...... I wake up at night. ”

"Well, light the lamp, it's so dark, you be careful of being knocked on the stool and table."

"Oh oh, no, I'm afraid I'll wake you up."

Cheng Yuan lit the lamp, and it was not good to wear a hat again, and he didn't even wear a cotton robe, so he went to the outer room from behind the screen.

The toilet was in the corner of the screen, but Cheng Yuan pretended to stand by the toilet, and after a while, he pulled out the deadbolt and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, he immediately went out, and the wind was biting outside, but it was not good to wear a cotton robe, and groped his way to the back garden.

As soon as Cheng Yuan went out, An Cheng sat up from the bed and sat there in a daze, only to sigh after a while.

She knew Cheng Yuan very well, and she was absent-minded when she loved at night, how could she not feel it, so that he did not sleep for a long time, and then tossed and turned after falling asleep.

He wants to find a woman, he can tell himself that he will never force or pinch him, but does he need to be so sneaky? Why not just talk to her.

"Squire!"

Soon, there was a knock at the door, and the sword came in with his clothes on: "Your Highness." ”

An Cheng hummed and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare three suppers and make some side dishes." ”

Three copies? The sword was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, and went out to let the kitchen prepare.

An Cheng said lightly: "By the way, make a lion's head for that conscienceless person again." He likes seven points of lean meat, three points of fat meat, finely chopped and coarsely chopped, the size of which should be like a grain of rice, not too fine, you know? ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

An Cheng pulled the quilt over and wrapped it around his body, still sitting like that, under the candlelight, there were two tear stains on his cheeks.

Then he wiped it, got dressed, and took Cheng Yuan's cotton robe out.

…………………………

In the back garden, the moonlight was cold, the cold wind was blowing, the branches were whining, and Cheng Yuan's face was pale and blue, without a trace of blood.

Da Yu'er looked at him: "This time, I will also accompany Duoyan Sanwei to conquer the Tatar Department with the King of Han." ”

It's the superintendent Zhu Gaoxu...... Cheng Yuan thought of this and said, "Are you here tonight?" ”

"I'm here to tell you something."

Can you say it quickly, I'm about to freeze to death, Cheng Yuan stomped his feet.

At this time, at the corner of the corridor in the back garden, a figure appeared, holding a cotton robe in his hand, quietly looking at the two people in the moonlight.

"Chen Ying and Ji Gang deal with you, but I don't know what is the matter, you should be careful." Da Yu'er wanted to speak and stopped: "Cheng Yuan, in my heart, you are the warrior of our grassland. ”

"I'm from the Han family!" Cheng Yuan Dao.

"You are very stubborn, you are really as stubborn as when you were in King Ning's Mansion, and you also used me to help you contact Duoyan Sanwei to gather people for Your Majesty." Da Yu'er smiled: "Shameless, but I also admire you, I'm going to Mobei in a few days."

That's where all men in the world should go, don't you want to listen to the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and take a look at the endless grassland. ”

Cheng Yuan shook his head: "The grassland is in the United States, after all, it is not my homeland, I want to create a prosperous world, at that time, the place I want to go to is overseas, where is the real battlefield of the Ming Dynasty, Mobei will be left to Your Majesty and you."

On that day, it will really appear, and the places where the sun and the moon shine are all Hanjia rivers and mountains. ”

Cheng Yuan will not be stupid to confess to Da Yuer, because she is now connected with the glory of Duoyan Sanwei, as well as Zhu Di's imperial power and supervision of hundreds of officials.

Mobei can be free, in Da Yuer's heart, she feels that to be a concubine, you have to live carefully, and the concubines of the princesses of the Ten Princes Mansion are alive like this.

These days, she followed Zheng He and they would also supervise some people, and the last time I saw Princess Nankang whipping Hu Guan and reprimanding him.

That Princess Huaiqing treated Wang Ning well, and almost all the others waited for the princess carefully.

Cheng Yuan coughed dryly and said: "Chen Ying and Ji Gang, those two dog offal, have long been stumbling, and I have never wanted to tear my face."

Now that my cub has been born, I have thought about it for a long time, and I will fight back in the future, the most serious thing is that Your Majesty will cut off my head, but my cub and His Royal Highness should be fine, so I am not afraid.

But, thank you very much for taking the risk to tell me this. ”

Da Yuer said: "No thanks, I don't like men who grind and chirp." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at the sky and said, "The princess should be about to wake up, I can't stay longer, so I leave." ”

"The meal is ready, and then we leave." An Cheng's voice came.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Cheng Yuan heard the footsteps behind him, and the blood rushed to his head, and he didn't need to look back to know who it was, he stood with his back straight.

It's not that he's afraid of anything, after all, An Cheng rarely does too much to him, but he always feels a little guilty in his heart.

Da Yu'er said in a complicated mood: "I have seen His Royal Highness An Cheng. ”

"Steward Liu, take Miss Yu'er to dinner."

Da Yuer had no choice but to nod and follow Steward Liu.

Cheng Yuan's brain was like a small motor, and he spun rapidly, and finally decided to have a truthful showdown, or admit that he did it when he was in trouble?

"Your Highness, as you can see, I won't deny anything, I concealed it from Your Highness, but Miss Yu'er is here to remind me to beware of villains, and this matter has nothing to do with her."

"Is it cold?" An Cheng gave him the cotton robe, and a very textured voice came into Cheng Yuan's ears: "Boil ginger soup to drive away the cold." ”

The three of them had a supper, Da Yuer looked at the sky outside, got up to leave, and was left by An Cheng.

"Horse, there are two pieces of soft armor in the house, you take one and Miss Yu'er."

Soft armor? Cheng Yuan glanced at An Cheng painfully, this was still the original system sign-in, and he had been hiding it until now, so he had no choice but to get up and get it.

From Cheng Yuan's expression, Da Yuer could also see that the soft armor was precious, and seeing that Cheng Yuan was not very reluctant, bitterness swelled up in his heart, maybe in his heart, he couldn't even compare to the soft armor.

"This palace will give you soft armor, not for anything else, Duoyan Sanwei is a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and Miss Yu'er is also going to follow the army, wearing soft armor, safer." An Cheng's words were sincere, which made the domineering Da Yuer feel guilty.

Cheng Yuan took the soft armor out, An Cheng took the soft armor and handed it to Da Yu'er: "It's almost dawn, and the horse will send the Yu'er girl to the palace." ”

Da Yu'er glanced at Cheng Yuan with disdain, and when he was a stingy ghost, her eyes fell on An Cheng: "Thank you, Your Highness An Cheng." ”

When the two came to the gate of the mansion, Da Yuer glanced at Cheng Yuan and muttered: "I really don't know why you want to provoke Princess Xianning, with a talented and good-looking woman like His Royal Highness An Cheng, I am ashamed of myself, you stinky man." ”

Cheng Yuan: "............"

He didn't provoke anything else, if it was too much, without others talking, Zhu Di would take him into the palace as a chamberlain.

A woman's words are temporal, such as in the current state, she despises Cheng Yuan. Maybe after this state, she is another evaluation, so the woman's fickleness is reflected in the fact that her words change with her mood.

"I'll send you here."

"What doesn't Grandpa Guo want to say to me?"

Cheng Yuan glanced at Da Yu'er, thought for a while, and said, "The journey is safe." ”

After returning to the house, Cheng Yuan touched and touched another piece of soft armor, put it in a box and treasured it, and lay on the bed to continue sleeping.

After returning from the previous court, he ran to the outer room to catch up on sleep.

Cheng Yuan woke up in a daze, felt the soft delicate body in his arms, and subconsciously hugged the other party's waist and buried his face in the soft delicate body.

The next moment, he snapped open his eyes and realized that something was wrong.

He didn't go to sleep in the bedroom when he came back from the court, and An Cheng didn't give him a good face and was not at home, so who is the woman in his arms?

It's Ansei!

In sight, it is as charming and pretty as a gardenia in the morning mist.

"Awake?"

An Cheng smiled. He pilled his head on his shoulder and whispered, "Don't move, this palace wants to lean on you like this, so it's more reassuring." ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her eyes like ice crystals. Tremble slightly.

Something is wrong, something is wrong!

If she was usually like this, how could she be so docile when she just passed by her night meeting last night.

Cheng Yuan quickly observed the enemy's situation.

I don't know how long it took, and the person in his arms hooked his neck with his hands, and said softly: "I gave your other soft armor to the second brother." ”

Cheng Yuan suddenly realized, he said that this woman could still take the initiative to hug him in the morning under the situation last night, it turned out to be ......

"Your Highness, you still let me not live, so I took it and sent it again." Cheng Yuan complained.

Cheng Yuan thought that he had rejected the gift from Ji Gang, and An Cheng gave Zhu Gaoxu soft armor, so that he would not be able to say it when the time came.

"It's not appropriate."

"I sent something to my brother, it's a matter between our brother and sister, what do others say?" She straightened her clothes, sat up and said, "Second brother said, let you be careful of Ji Gang." ”

"............" Cheng Yuan's brain turned.

"This palace is a woman's family, I can only bring you a homely word, I don't understand anything, I only know how to take care of the affairs of the house, and take care of the children......"

The more Cheng Yuan listened, the more wrong he became, and immediately sent some sweet words, saying: "Your Highness is helping me and running for the Guogong Mansion, I know Your Highness's mind, and I don't have to care about anything else."

The official position is precious, and the price of affection is even higher, His Royal Highness and Zhengqing are higher than them in my heart. ”

An Cheng's rank is too high, it is estimated that this sweet talk will not have much effect, only Xianning will be moved when he hears this and wants to make a promise.

The reason why Cheng Yuan said this was that he wanted to use it to disperse the firepower, and then find an opportunity to slip away.
