Chapter 65 What does the word "awesome" mean?
Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye carefully.
Chu Chengye was sitting at a table not far away, holding a memorial in his hand, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
He pinched his nose and sighed.
The candles beside Cheng Jin's bed had been completely extinguished, and it was pitch black.
This made it convenient for Cheng Jin to peek at Chu Chengye openly.
Cheng Jin shook her head. How could it be considered peeping?
Good looks are meant to be seen.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin looked more justified.
The cold wind in the middle of the night blew the candles, and the swaying candlelight stretched Chu Chengye's shadow very long.
The warm yellow candlelight shone on Chu Chengye's face, outlining his three-dimensional facial features more deeply.
Chu Chengye, who is tall and has long legs, looks very good in a dark-colored pajamas.
But Chu Chengye is only in his early twenties, but his brows are always furrowed, as if he always has unresolved worries. Against the warm yellow candlelight, he looks lonely and desolate for some reason.
Cheng Jin called out to Chu Chengye.
"Your Majesty."
Chu Chengye subconsciously raised his head and answered.
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Jin didn't say anything, but just looked at Chu Chengye in the dark.
"Can't sleep?"
Chu Chengye looked up in the direction of Cheng Jin, put down the memorial in his hand, thought of something, and stood up.
"I am so far away from you, and I only lit a candle, so how can I still not sleep?"
In fact, it was not about the candle.
Cheng Jin didn't understand why she called Chu Chengye.
Maybe she felt sorry for his past experiences?
Seeing that Cheng Jin didn't say anything, Chu Chengye extinguished the last candle in the room.
"You don't want to read it anymore?" Cheng Jin asked.
Chu Chengye's words with a smile reached Cheng Jin's ears in the darkness.
"You are so coquettish."
"You occupied my bed. I wanted to read the memorials, but the candlelight was too dim and my eyes hurt. Now, you don't let me read it at all."
Cheng Jin denied it repeatedly, "How could I?"
But think about it, it is true.
Unable to explain, just force it.
Cheng Jin immediately found something wrong. Chu
Chengye didn't read the memorials anymore, and he didn't sit at the original table. Now he was rustling around and didn't know where to go.
Cheng Jin: "!!!"
Her words just now would not make Chu Chengye misunderstand that she wanted Chu Chengye to accompany her, right?
Now, Cheng Jin opened her eyes and it was pitch black. She had no idea where Chu Chengye was. She could only hear the footsteps coming from not far away, which were getting clearer and clearer.
"Your Majesty? You're here?"
Chu Chengye stopped and sat down somewhere.
"Yes, what else?"
"You want me to sit on that chair and freeze all night?"
"Rong Guifei can't occupy the bed and not let me take a nap on the couch."
Chu Chengye answered Cheng Jin while sitting on the couch not far away.
Chu Chengye knew Cheng Jin's concerns, "Don't worry, I don't have the idea of sleeping in the same bed with Rong Guifei now."
Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the plot is different now.
Fortunately, the tyrant's setting of not being interested in women has not changed.
"I just saw you sleeping. If we sleep in the same place, I am really afraid that you will kick me off the bed. I have important things to deal with tomorrow. If I am hurt by Concubine Rong, how can I explain to others? Concubine Rong is so fierce..."
[You are the one who is fierce.]
Cheng Jin retorted in her heart, but on the surface she agreed repeatedly.
"The emperor is still thoughtful."
Chu Chengye was indeed tired. He felt sleepy after closing his eyes for a while. However, he thought of the handwriting that Cheng Jin had written on the desk just now, and couldn't help asking.
"Concubine Rong, what do the two words you just wrote on the paper mean? I don't quite understand. Can you tell me?"
What words?
Cheng Jin turned over, thinking that Chu Chengye was looking for trouble again.
What words!
Cheng Jin suddenly remembered the word "Niubi" she had written casually on a piece of paper.
She had just written it for fun and forgot to throw it away.
Such an ugly word, but she didn't expect Chu Chengye to study it for a long time and now ask her what it means.
Cheng Jin didn't dare to think about how Chu Chengye stood by the table and looked at the word "Niubi" she had written.
Cheng Jin covered her head and started to play dead.
"I know you are not asleep."
Cheng Jin still said nothing.
[I am not asleep, but in fact I am already dead. ]
[Let's just pass this topic. ]
The more Cheng Jin refused, the more Chu Chengye wanted to know what it meant.
He sat up straight and said seriously: "If you don't tell me, I will ask the scholars in the Hanlin Academy tomorrow."
"I don't believe it. Such a big palace, with all the talented people in the world, still can't figure out what these two words mean?"
Seeing Chu Chengye's serious look, Cheng Jin really didn't dare to think about Chu Chengye asking around the palace with her handwriting tomorrow. Maybe those ministers would even look through history books to study.
It feels like if Chu Chengye doesn't figure it out, he will probably post a notice to ask the world's talented people to explain the meaning of these two words.
I can't imagine how scary it will be then.
[Too absurd.]
[It's really too absurd.]
In order to prevent all this from happening, Cheng Jin decided to fool Chu Chengye now.
Cheng Jin laughed awkwardly once or twice.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to go to so much trouble?"
"These two words don't have any meaning. Why does Your Majesty have to ask?"
Chu Chengye said, "I just want to know."
[People can't be so curious. Curiosity kills the cat.]
Chu Chengye was silent and waited for Cheng Jin to explain.
Cheng Jin took a long time to organize the language.
"This, this "awesome" means that the power of Southern Qi is strong and no one dares to offend it. It means that the emperor is heroic and no one can match him."
Cheng Jin swore that her reaction had never been so fast.
She raised her thumb, "So these two words are often used to praise the strength of others and express respect and admiration."
Cheng Jin shouted in her heart.
[I am so awesome.]
Chu Chengye nodded after hearing what Cheng Jin said.
Since it was a compliment, Cheng Jin must have been too shy to say it before because she was ashamed to express such admiration to him.
After all, his attitude towards Cheng Jin before was not very good.
Chu Chengye seemed particularly satisfied with Cheng Jin's answer.
"Well, the meaning of these two words is indeed good."
Cheng Jin hurriedly agreed.
Chu Chengye continued, "In this case, tomorrow I will use these two words to compliment the court officials who will come to see me tomorrow, which can be regarded as a reward for them."
What!!!
Cheng Jin sat up suddenly and hurried to stop Chu Chengye.
"No, Your Majesty."
"Why? Isn't it a compliment to others?"
Yes, yes, but these two words are not used casually, let alone in this era.
Wouldn't it be a mess?
Cheng Jin's mind was spinning wildly.
"Ah, yes, this is a compliment to others, but it can only be said to each other by people who are truly close to each other. It can't be said to anyone casually."
Chu Chengye nodded thoughtfully.
It really can't be said casually.
