Marry a Villain ( 嫁反派 ) - Chapter 54
[Chapter 54 Chapter 54]
In the early and later periods, the civil and military officials filed out from the Golden Palace.
“General, General, please stay!”
An elderly eunuch bowed and called to Yu Yuandao with a smile, “The Holy One has spoken, please move to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a brief moment.”
Yu Yuan suppressed the surprise in his heart, adjusted his crown and hat, and then took a drastic step towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After the internal attendant passed the message, Yu Yuan entered the hall to worship, only to find that Xue Youxiang was also there, sitting on the left with a smooth red sandalwood cane, and bowed slightly to Yu Yuan.
And the person who studied ink beside the emperor was the eunuch, Cui An, who saw the head but not the tail of the dragon.
“Qing Yu, please get up.”
The emperor ordered someone to give him a seat, and then he said solemnly, “Both of you are important ministers of the Chinese military and humerus of the court, and they have worked hard all these years.”
Yu Yuan stepped aside, knowing very well that the emperor’s edict to see them was not as simple as chatting.
Every word of the king fell on the subject, and it was a bone-scraping knife.
Yu Yuan looked solemn, and said respectfully, “I accept that Your Majesty will not give up, eat the king’s salary, and share the master’s worries is the duty of a minister.” Remember m. biqiudu. com
The emperor shook his head and said, “Last night I dreamed that Yu Qing blamed me for putting too much burden on me, and I was deploying defenses in Gyeonggi and cooperating with Dali Temple to investigate the case, and I didn’t have time to take care of my family… After I woke up, I felt ashamed. ”
Just as Yu Yuan was about to speak, he heard a long sigh from the emperor, and Qi Qi said: “Qing Yu is a general that David has never seen in a hundred years. If you are so tired, I’m afraid that people all over the world will scold me and treat me harshly. Therefore, I will discuss with Xue Youxiang, whether it can be done. Order the Minister of the Household and the Chamberlain Cui An to help Yu Qing and share the trivial chores?”
Hearing this, Yu Yuan suddenly raised his head.
How could he not understand that the emperor let generals, civil servants, and eunuchs take charge of military affairs together, called sharing, but in fact releasing power.
Yu Yuan’s resolute cheeks clenched tightly as he clasped his fists and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy, but I am frightened! It’s just that military affairs are related to the country’s fortunes, so you need to be cautious when using and raising troops.
“General Yu, please rest assured. Although this minister is a eunuch, he was born in the army when he was young.”
It was Cui An who spoke, squinting his sinister eyes and said slowly, “I understand the affairs of the military a little.”
Yu Yuan gave Cui An a cold look after hearing Cui An’s report that he was from a military camp.
It’s a bit familiar, and I really can’t remember which army he is from.
People in the army become eunuchs, and they are only punished by palace punishment if they have made a big mistake.
No matter what, Yu Yuan looked down on this kind of person.
He didn’t talk to him, but turned his head to look at Xue Youxiang, not only because of the good relationship between the two families, but also because the old man had the ability to set the world in one sentence.
Xue Youxiang rubbed the handle of the red sandalwood stick and never said a word.
“It seems that this state matter has been resolved. The family affairs of the two Aiqings must also be resolved.”
The emperor laughed, got up and said, “I heard that Sun Qianqian, the direct descendant of the right minister, is like a jade, and Yu Qing’s youngest daughter, Langcai, is beautiful, but I have the intention to match the two families with each other. I don’t know what the two will think?”
When Yu Yuan heard this, he already understood.
The Yu family has been responsible for generations, and the only thing that the emperor should be so afraid of recently is the existence of the seventh prince.
The emperor knew that the Yu family had private dealings with the seventh prince, so he took this as a warning and knocked on the spot, which was also a suppression.
Over the Miyagi, thick clouds obscured the sun, casting a cloud of floating shadows.
…
The Yu family is upright and harmonious. Although Yu Huanchen is married and established a mansion, he still brings his wife to the main house for dinner every day.
At Chen Shi, Yu Lingxi looked at the empty upper seat and asked, “Where’s Dad?”
Yu Huanchen just changed into his regular clothes, and while wearing his wrist guard, he said, “After the early dynasty, the emperor left his father and Xue Youxiang behind. There should be some important things to discuss.”
“at the same time?”
“at the same time.”
Hearing this, Yu Lingxi was thoughtful.
Now that the border is stable and there is no famine and war, what major event can the emperor order to see the two important ministers of civil and military at the same time?
It was said that the king’s heart was unpredictable, and Yu Huanchen was also pondering this matter, frowning and hurriedly took two bites of rice, then put on his official robe and went out. He didn’t even want to taste the red bean cake that Su Wan personally made for him.
Looking at the untouched cakes on the table, the loss in Su Wan’s eyes flashed past.
Yu Lingxi knew that her sister-in-law had just married, and when she needed company most, she leaned over and said, “The bean cakes made by my sister-in-law are very sweet, can you teach me?”
Su Wan also laughed and said gently, “Okay.”
The ingredients for the red bean cake are simple, just need a little more ingenuity.
Wrap the red bean stuffing boiled in sugar into the white, soft and delicious glutinous rice skin, then press it into a peach blossom shape with a mold, and then decorate the stamens with crushed salted egg yolk, and a pink and white-exquisite peach blossom red bean cake is ready.
With sweet-scented osmanthus honey, Yu Lingxi tasted one, it was a little sweeter, but full of fragrance.
Su Wan wiped the flour on her hands with a handkerchief, and smiled softly: “Everyone says ‘wash your hands and make soup’, Suishui suddenly learns cooking skills, but has a sweetheart?”
Yu Lingxi’s heart, which had never dared to throb in two lifetimes, jumped suddenly.
“It’s for grandma.”
She lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. She divided the freshly made peach blossom red bean cake into two parts and packed them in food boxes, “There is one more, keep it for myself.”
Su Wan blinked and smiled without saying a word.
Returning to the main house from the West Mansion had to pass through Shanchi Garden, Yu Lingxi saw Ning Yin standing on the Ouchi trestle at a glance.
He was leisurely raising his hand to feed the koi, and when he raised his hand, his knuckles appeared cold jade-like white in the sunlight.
He seems to have rarely been out of the house recently, and Yu Lingxi knew that such tranquility was the tranquility before the storm.
According to the time in the previous life, there was not much time left for her and Ning Yin.
Just thinking about it, Ning Yin seemed to be aware of her existence and turned around slowly.
The sun was dazzling, and Yu Lingxi was instantly stunned, as if the mighty regent in the previous life overlapped with Wei Qi in front of him, with the same grace and strength.
The guards at the junction of the two governments frequented each other. At this critical moment, Yu Lingxi didn’t want to make Ning Yin too much attention.
She calmed down and instructed Hu Tao, “Take out the red bean cake on top and send it to Wei Qi.”
Hu Tao responded and walked over with the food box.
I don’t know what to say, but after a while, Hu Tao came back with the food box intact, and said with a bitter face and pouted: “That Wei Qifei said that there are some problems with this cake, and he refused to accept it.”
“something wrong?”
Yu Lingxi frowned, she had obviously tasted it, and the taste was fine.
There is a problem, I am afraid it is Ning Yin’s careful thinking.
After thinking about it, Yu Lingxi realized what he was paying attention to.
“Hu Tao, send this bean cake to A-Niang.”
After all, Yu Lingxi took out Ning Yin’s share, then packed the rest in a food box and handed it to Hu Tao.
Hu Tao glanced at Wei Qi, and finally bowed down, obediently withdrew.
On the trestle, Ning Yin finished throwing all the bait, gave Yu Lingxi a glance, and walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
Oh, Wei Qi’s intention is not to fish, he is clearly trying to lure her into taking the bait.
Yu Lingxi snorted, holding Ning Yin’s bean cake, followed Ning Yin’s footsteps through the moon gate and entered the bungalow.
The summer sun is always bright, half jumping in the treetops and half reflecting in Yu Lingxi’s eyes.
She put the plate heavily on the table, and said with a little harmless squeamishness: “I dare to ask, what’s wrong with this pastry?”
In her last life, she had done the steps of cooking sake and sencha, embroidering and undressing, and she had never cooked and made cakes herself.
Who would have thought that this little madman with a cat tongue would not appreciate it.
Ning Yin sat next to the table and wiped his hands, looking at the plate of cakes covered with orchid silk handkerchief, and raised his eyes for a moment: “Less sugar.”
Seeing that he didn’t move, Yu Lingxi picked up a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus nectar in the food box, poured it all on the red bean cake, carefully twisted it with her slender fingers, and handed it to Ning Yin, “This time, it’s guaranteed to be sweet.”
Ning Yin did not reach out to take it, but leaned over to take a bite.
The sweetness spread along the tip of the tongue and poured into the throat.
Ning Yin frowned and recalled: “Is this dessert made by the lady herself?”
Yu Lingxi put the remaining half on the plate, and said with a smile, “This is the first time I cook, can I still get your Highness’s eyes?”
I don’t know which words please Ning Yin, his brows stretched out, savoring the sweetness.
Then half closed his eyes, as if he had tasted something in the world, picked up the leftover cakes, and continued to taste it slowly.
Ning Yin’s lips were pale, and the dark red bean paste filling was pressed between her lips, which was indescribably elegant and beautiful.
Yu Lingxi somehow remembered that in the attic on the night of the Qixi Festival, Ning Yin also bit her lip as if tasting a cake…
Memories are like small bubbles that pop up in my mind from time to time, and then disappear in a flash, leaving only a circle of ripples.
Yu Lingxi patted her face to calm herself, and reminded, “This pastry is sweet and greasy, and it’s easy to bloat, so eat less.”
“The first time I cooked, the lady made me feel good, so I can’t help but report it.”
While speaking, Ning Yin picked up another piece of red bean cake, “I have a request from Miss Xu.”
Yu Lingxi thought about it and said, “I hope that my family and His Royal Highness are all well.”
At the beginning, he decided to take in Ning Yin, just to protect the Yu family in the future.
Now, another person’s weight has been added to this chip.
It’s not the way of destroying the sky and destroying himself in the previous life, but I hope he can live in the warmth of the world like ordinary people.
Probably because her eyes were too clean and sincere at this time, Ning Yin was a little surprised, and then laughed very slowly.
“That’s not how the request was made. The answer given by the lady is too vague, it is better to be more specific.”
He sipped the red bean cake and said slowly, “For example, what power, what status…”
Another example, he.
Hearing this, Yu Lingxi just shook her head gently, those false names were not what she really cared about.
All I really care about is by my side, at this moment.
Ning Yin swallowed the last piece of cake in his stomach, seeing that there was still no extravagance and greed in Yu Lingxi’s eyes, he snorted dissatisfiedly.
Yu Lingxi didn’t pay attention to the deep meaning in his eyes. He glanced at the carving knife on the table that had not yet been put away, and asked curiously, “Are you doing handicraft recently?”
Ning Yin glanced at the carving knife, took a sip from the tea cup, and said, “Just do it for fun. When it’s done, I’ll show it to Miss.”
He mentioned “later” with a natural expression, as if the near future was not a separation, but a long reunion.
Just as he was sighing, he heard Ning Yin say again, “But since Miss is here today, why don’t you give me a reference for jade carvings.”
“Reference?” Yu Lingxi blinked, not understanding what he meant.
“Sit down.”
Ning Yin put down the cup and motioned Yu Lingxi to sit on the couch.
Yu Lingxi was pressed down on the couch, subconsciously sitting upright, but heard a very light sneer coming from the top of his head.
Ning Yin held her arm with one hand and pressed her waist with the other, guiding her to lean on the couch.
The warm palms were pressed against the skin through the thin summer shirt fabric, and Yu Lingxi couldn’t help tensing.
“Relax.” Ning Yin’s hand lightly patted Yu Lingxi’s waist.
Yu Lingxi shuddered and glared at him unwillingly.
Ning Yin laughed and smoothed the hem of her skirt.
The girl’s fresh skirt draped down, revealing the small toes of her shoes.
Ning Yin scrutinized the soft fragrance of the beauty leaning on the couch, her eyes stopped for a while on her plain curly hair, and said, “Miss, it seems that she rarely wears hairpins.”
His recent observational power suddenly became more careful.
Yu Lingxi touched her hair and said sleepily, “I haven’t found a suitable hairpin. The gold hairpin is tacky, and the silver hairpin is too light. It’s not as convenient as a pearl flower hairband.”
