Chapter 12 Bad Habits, Not Changed at All
After Cheng Yishou left, Cheng Jin couldn't wait to look at Chu Chengye.
She didn't expect Chu Chengye to be so kind and let her out of the palace so easily. Although he died young, he was still a good man.
Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye with a touch of emotion and admiration. Chu Chengye,
who was sitting next to her and reviewing memorials, was so overwhelmed by this gaze that he had to raise his head.
He felt uncomfortable when he met Cheng Jin's gaze.
In the past, Cheng Jin's eyes when looking at him were mostly timid, annoyed, and evasive.
He was used to being angry when he heard those words, but today he was so blatantly exposed that this thought made him feel uneasy.
After realizing that he was abnormal, Chu Chengye shook his head.
As the emperor, he is the only one in the world who makes others uncomfortable, and no one can make him unhappy.
He only glanced at Cheng Jin lightly, and then straightened the awkward look on his face.
"If you keep staring at me with this look, I won't have to go back to your home."
When Cheng Jin heard Chu Chengye say this, she immediately stretched out her hand to block her eyes, and said anxiously:
"I won't look at it anymore, I won't look at it anymore, my eyes are blind and my ears are deaf."
Seeing Cheng Jin like this, Chu Chengye couldn't help but lowered his head and curled his lips, "It's ridiculous."
Chu Chengye's voice was not loud, but Cheng Jin heard it clearly. She still had a fake smile on her face, and she had already cursed Chu Chengye a hundred times in her heart.
[I'm funny, I'm ugly, if you have the guts, kick me out of the palace. ]
[I am so beautiful and I am here to serve you, the dog emperor, you should just be happy. ]
[You still say I am ridiculous, open your eyes, Chu Chengye, is there a good person around you? ]
[Someone comes here either to kill you or to covet your money. With this luck, I dare only walk through the sewer when I go out. ]
Cheng Jin lowered her head and made a different expression. Chu Chengye's face was as black as pot ash after hearing all this.
He was afraid that he could not control his temper and let someone drag Cheng Jin out directly.
There will be such a day.
Chu Chengye said secretly in his heart.
When has he ever been so angry?
Chu Chengye turned a blind eye and ignored the endless scolding in Cheng Jin's heart. He waved his hand and sent someone to take Cheng Jin away immediately.
Cheng Jin was satisfied with her cursing, and she felt relieved when she thought about going home tomorrow and getting away from the smoky palace and Chu Chengye, a disgusting person.
Goodbye.
After returning to the palace, Cheng Jin packed up all her valuable things and put them together.
Cuizhu, who was standing by and didn't know what to do, spoke hesitantly, "Your Majesty, why are you packing these things?"
Cheng Jin pulled Cuizhu to pack together, and looked outside the door. Seeing that there was no one around, he spoke:
"The emperor ordered me to go home to visit my parents tomorrow. The imperial edict is expected to arrive at the party."
Cuizhu didn't hide the smile on her face when she heard this, "This is good, we can finally go back home to visit, but your majesty, why are we packing these things?"
"Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened to Chuntao last time? We are in this palace, firstly, we have no relatives to rely on, and secondly, we have no favors to rely on. It's easy for anyone to harm us. In this world, there is only one way of saying things that works best."
"Your Majesty?"
Cheng Jin tapped Cuizhu's head with a silver hairpin, "It's about money, who wouldn't bow down for a few pieces of rice? These things seem to be external possessions, but they can help us when we are desperate."
"Your Majesty is right."
If she really went to the cold palace in the future, at least she would not be without money to buy food.
The direction of the plot is really strange. She was not thrown into the cold palace by a heavy sword, and Chu Chengye did not seem to hate her so much.
Cheng Jin thought about it, there is only one possibility, that is, she is good at licking.
The emperor has a vanity that is a hundred times stronger than ordinary people.
Ordinary people would smile happily when hearing compliments, let alone Chu Chengye, a tyrant who is extremely arrogant. Naturally, he wants to see everyone kowtow to him.
Sure enough, not long after, Chu Chengye's oral order came, saying that Cheng Jin was allowed to leave the palace, and if she received the edict, she must return quickly.
Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye was busy calculating the deficit of the national treasury, so she asked to leave the palace quietly. Otherwise, someone might see her going home to visit her relatives in such a big way, and would definitely regard her as a thorn in the eye.
Chu Chengye agreed quickly.
[Look how considerate I am.]
[Just thank me, I saved you a lot of money.]
Chu Chengye: "..."
After he finishes dealing with this matter, he will let Cheng Jin see how rich and powerful he, a dignified emperor, is.
In order not to alert anyone, Cheng Jin left the palace, so she only took Cui Zhu and two others with her and left at dawn.
Only Chu Chengye and Wei An beside him knew the news of Cheng Jin's leaving the palace, and Cheng Jin even kept it a secret from everyone in her own palace. She
just said that she was not feeling well and could not see anyone, and sent those people in her palace to other places to work.
Only a few concubines in the harem can go home to visit their parents, either they are favored by the emperor, or their family is famous in the court.
Cheng Jin did not meet either of these two conditions.
The news that Concubine Rong was not favored and often made trouble in the harem was spread to the front court, and everyone laughed at it. Cheng Yishou was even more famous for his love of contradicting the emperor. The emperor was already showing mercy by not dismissing him, not to mention his fame.
Leaving the palace quietly now is good for everyone.
Leaving the palace early, Cheng Jin stayed up late last night to read the storybook that Cui Zhu found, and read until three o'clock in the morning.
Cui Zhu saw that the candlelight in the room had not gone out, so she went into the room to check, and saw Cheng Jin curled up on the bed, holding the book and reading with a candle.
"Miss, why did you get up so early? It's only three o'clock now, and we still have some time to get up?"
Cheng Jin looked up at Cuizhu with a confused look on his face, "Ah, is it already three o'clock in the morning? I haven't slept yet."
The bad habit has not changed at all.
As a result, Cheng Jin has been sleeping since he got on the carriage.
When he arrived at Cheng Mansion, it was still dark. The sky
was gray in the early morning. The servants on night watch in the mansion had not slept all night. Now it was almost dawn and it was time to change shifts. Then he saw a carriage parked at the door of his mansion.
The servant at the door naturally spoke in a bad tone, "Go away, this is not a place to park a carriage."
The coachman behind him got off the carriage to talk, saying that the person sitting in the carriage was the current Empress Rong Guifei, and how could they be so presumptuous.
The servant not only didn't believe it, but exchanged glances with the people around him and said mockingly:
"Who doesn't know that the noble concubine lives in the harem? How could she come back so easily? Even if she came back, she would have to make a big fuss. Now she is so shabby, and she dares to pretend to be the Rong concubine."
