Chapter 185 It seems that everything is not so bad

And the doll in Cheng Jin's hand, how could it be such a coincidence that the boss gave it to her.

It can be seen that the doll maker's skills are a little rusty, but he is very serious and depicts some of the small details very well.

Especially Cheng Jin, who seems to be carved out of the same mold.

All the previous gloom in my heart disappeared completely.

Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye were on the way back to the palace.

Cheng Jin walked lightly in front of Chu Chengye, picking up the lantern to look at it, and then talking to herself with the doll. It can be seen that she is very happy, and she almost jumps when she walks.

From time to time, she stopped and called Chu Chengye, "Hurry up."

Chu Chengye agreed, but turned a deaf ear to her and never quickened his pace.

He has his own selfishness.

Chu Chengye was a little childish and

dragged his feet, not wanting to go back to the palace. He didn't want to face the hypocritical faces of those courtiers, didn't want to be worried all the time, and didn't want to be trapped in the Yangxin Palace reviewing memorials.

If only life could always be like this.

If he were given a choice, he didn't want to be the king above all others. What he wanted was always simple.

Born in a simple family, with a pair of parents who loved him, and a person he liked.

But everything went against his wishes.

When he was young, Chu Chengye also complained about the unfairness of fate, why he had to go through so many hardships, and why what he wanted was so rare.

Chu Chengye looked up at Cheng Jin who was walking in front.

After meeting Cheng Jin, everything seemed to have changed.

She helped him change his fate many times, allowing him to gradually escape from everything that was originally there.

Chu Chengye thought: Life doesn't seem so bad, at least I have Cheng Jin by my side.

Everything doesn't seem so bad.

Cheng Jin couldn't stand Chu Chengye walking so slowly behind her. She angrily stuffed everything in her hands into Chu Chengye's hands, turned around and walked behind Chu Chengye, raised her hands to touch Chu Chengye's back, and pushed him to walk.

Cheng Jin couldn't help but complain, "If you keep walking like this, how long will it take to get there?"

"I still want to show my lanterns and dolls to Cuizhu and Ziying, you should walk faster."

Cheng Jin seemed to be really angry. When she pushed Chu Chengye, she emphasized every word. But she and Chu Chengye were not much different in height, so pushing Chu Chengye was not an easy task.

Cheng Jin spoke with a coquettish tone, and Chu Chengye smiled and pulled Cheng Jin behind him to his front.

"Okay, okay, I'll walk faster."

Chu Chengye didn't walk that fast, but dragged Cheng Jin along and walked slowly.

Cheng Jin was so annoyed by Chu Chengye that she didn't urge him anymore.

The two walked into the palace step by step. They

first passed by Chu Chengye's Jingyang Palace. Cheng Jin wanted to go alone, but Chu Chengye insisted on going back with her.

Cheng Jin frowned.

Chu Chengye explained, "You'll have to attend the morning court tomorrow."

Cheng Jin nodded, "I know."

Chu Chengye said, "Those old guys don't care about anyone when they talk. They quarreled in front of me. I get a headache when I think about it."

Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye sympathetically.

It's true.

Who in the palace doesn't know that the censors of the previous dynasty were very good at talking. They wanted to pull out the tendons and skin people when they talked about them?

Chu Chengye continued, "And tomorrow there will be a lot of memorials sent to the Yangxin Palace."

Cheng Jin asked tentatively, "So what does the emperor mean?"

Chu Chengye did not speak, but stared at Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin understood instantly.

Didn't he just want to go himself?

Cheng Jin glanced at the things in her hand.

[You are so nice to me, so what if I sit with you. ]

[I risk my life to accompany a gentleman. ]

Cheng Jin smiled and nodded, "I'll go when I wake up."

Cheng Jin said that she would not let Chu Chengye go when she returned. She went to bed early the night before, determined to be a good companion and assistant.

Thinking that Chu Chengye would review memorials and handle official business in the Yangxin Palace after the morning court, Cheng Jin walked towards the Yangxin Palace with full energy.

Before she entered the door, she was frightened by the messy things thrown at her feet.

The room was in a state of anxiety.

Chu Chengye shouted, "Why can't he come? It's only a ten-day journey. I gave him twenty days, but he still hasn't arrived?"

Wei An explained, "Lord Song wrote to say that he encountered bandits on the road a few days ago. In order to avoid them, he took a detour and just got away to rush to the capital, which delayed him."

"Bandits?" Chu Chengye asked in confusion, "I haven't heard of bandits being so rampant in many years. Besides, I have sent so many experts to Song Geng, how could I be afraid of those bandits?"

"I am also confused. Lord Song said in the letter that the whereabouts of those bandits were very strange. He just followed them and it seemed that they were not looking for money, but just wanted to kill them."

"Fortunately, the emperor sent enough people to protect us, so we can resist."

Chu Chengye nodded, his voice was calm, "When will Song Geng arrive?"

Wei An replied, "Two days at most."

Chu Chengye did not respond to Wei An's words. He supported his forehead with one hand and kept fiddling with the dragon chair with the other hand.

As he expected, he just proposed the opening of a trading port, and the court was in an uproar.

The opening of a trading port was inevitable, but it was not appropriate to have the jurisdiction of the Ningzhou trading port. Those old guys took advantage of the gap that Chu Chengye had no one and wanted to take it down.

How could Chu Chengye possibly do as they wish? He let them fight, and slowed down his words, letting them fight among themselves, but this was not a solution.

When Chu Chengye was worried, Chu Zhurui suddenly said, "I have nothing to do in the palace. After all, it was Song Geng who was recommended by me and I know him well. It would be bad if something happened to him. Why not let me go and take a look at the situation?" There was no

other way now. Chu Zhurui had practiced martial arts since he was a child. There was no other suitable person for this matter except Chu Zhurui.

Chu Chengye waved his hand and let them all go.

This was not the only headache. At the beginning of the new year, Chu Chengye was so overwhelmed by so many things.

Either people from all over the country wanted money, or something happened in the border war.

Many of these things seemed to be intentionally done by someone.

Chu Chengye was not without suspicion of Chu Huaian. Chu Chengye had someone watching Chu Huaian all the time. Since Xu Jilin had been staying indoors, Chu Huaian had been unusually quiet, as if he was planning something big.

But Chu Chengye really couldn't find anything wrong with Chu Huaian.

He could only continue to watch their movements.

After Chu Zhurui went out, he saw Cheng Jin waiting outside the door. He smiled and greeted Cheng Jin.

"Imperial sister-in-law? Since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Cheng Jin bowed slightly and explained, "I just heard you discussing something and didn't dare to go in to disturb you."
