Chapter 85 I said I didn’t like Jin before, but I was really pretending before
Cheng Jin cooperated and bowed, “Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty.”
Although she said these jealous and flattering words, she was actually not moved at all.
[If you don’t want to eat it, give it back to me. ]
Cheng Jin complained in her heart.
[Perilla and plum are rare in this season. Thanks to the talent, it is enough for you to eat. You are so unsatisfied. ]
She actually brought a lot when she came. She originally wanted to please Chu Chengye so that she could get more rewards and bribe the servants.
When she sat next to the medicine pot, she couldn’t help eating a lot. She finally managed to hold back and save this one.
Who knew that Chu Chengye was not happy.
Chu Chengye still had the purple plum in his mouth. Hearing that Cheng Jin had to ask him for this purple plum, he was naturally unhappy.
"It's so sour that my teeth are about to fall out. What's so delicious about it."
Cheng Jin curled her lips speechlessly and responded, "Yes, yes, yes."
"If you like it, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate more."
Cheng Jin bowed to thank him, thinking that no matter what, it was not in vain.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs distributes things according to the number of portions, and some things cannot be obtained even if you want them.
Just like this purple plum, although Cheng Jin likes to eat it, she suffers from only a little bit. If she wants to get more, she can only spend more money to bribe the palace servants, and she may not get it.
Now with Chu Chengye's words, the purple plum should be enough for her in the palace.
Seeing Chu Chengye drink the medicine, Cheng Jin's task for today was considered completed, so she told Chu Chengye to personally arrange for Wei An to remember not to put the sambar root when he boiled the medicine tomorrow.
Chu Chengye asked, "You said yesterday to put two portions, why don't you put them in now?"
Cheng Jin felt a little guilty, "I looked through the medical book yesterday and found out that the sambar root can't be put in, otherwise it will produce an unbearable smell with other medicinal materials, so it can't be put in again."
Chu Chengye supported his head with his hands and scanned Cheng Jin's eyes. Cheng Jin instantly felt uncomfortable.
"So that's why there was such a strong smell yesterday?"
Cheng Jin nodded quickly, "That's right."
"Are you sure that Concubine Rong found out from the medical book yesterday?" Chu Chengye's eyes became sharper, and his voice was also threatening and tempting.
Cheng Jin didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Yes, I only found out yesterday after reading medical books all night. How dare I lie to the emperor? Seeing the emperor drink those strange-smelling medicines, I feel more uncomfortable than the emperor."
[Well, actually I feel quite good. ]
"Rong Guifei, you'd better just know it."
Chu Chengye's face darkened, not knowing whether what happened yesterday was intentional or unintentional.
But now he can't do anything, so he can only wave his hand, indicating that Cheng Jin doesn't need to be polite anymore.
"Okay, I know."
"Then your majesty, it's okay, I'll take my leave first."
Cheng Jin didn't care whether Chu Chengye really believed it or not, anyway, he had no evidence, and he saluted and prepared to leave.
Chu Chengye didn't let Cheng Jin go immediately, but handed the dark-patterned sandalwood box on the table to Cheng Jin.
"For you."
Ever since Chu Chengye put the things in Cheng Jin's hands, Cheng Jin has not heard Chu Chengye's voice again, and her attention has always been on the wooden box in her hand.
She opened the sandalwood box in her hand with excitement.
In the sandalwood box was an extremely luxurious gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones and phoenix patterns.
The bracelet was as thick as two fingers.
The gem inlaid on it was a red gem with a strange color. It looked very valuable.
[I used to say that I didn't like gold and that gold was unpalatable. I was really pretending before. ]
[Just this bracelet, it looks very luxurious. If it was changed to silver, I'm afraid it would be as much as the salary of the palace for several years. ]
[At this moment, Chu Chengye, you are radiating a golden and brilliant light. 】
【But this thing was given by Chu Chengye, and I don’t know if there is a market for it. If I can’t sell it...】
"Rong Guifei."
Chu Chengye interrupted Cheng Jin's increasingly bizarre thoughts.
Cheng Jin was not impatient at all at this moment, but was waiting for Chu Chengye to say something seriously.
【Money makes the world go round.】
【You gave me money, let alone pushing a mill, I will find a way for you to push the Great Wall, and I will say you have a nice voice even if you scold me.】
Chu Chengye: "..."
Chu Chengye took out the bracelet from the sandalwood box.
According to Cheng Jin's personality, I'm afraid she really dares to sell this bracelet. Even if it is something from the royal family, no one dares to accept it. I can't guarantee that Cheng Jin will melt the bracelet.
Thinking of this, Chu Chengye put the bracelet on Cheng Jin's hand without saying anything.
"I put this bracelet on you, so you have to wear it all the time. If I see you not wearing it one day, I will punish you."
Cheng Jin: "?!!"
[Are you okay?]
[You gave me a big gold bracelet and you still care if I wear it or not?]
[What's the matter, this gold bracelet is actually a handcuff?]
Cheng Jin shook Chu Chengye's hand and wanted to take it off. As soon as Cheng Jin moved, Chu Chengye called for someone.
"Someone."
The guard waiting at the door responded and came in. He stood behind Cheng Jin and knelt on the ground waiting for Chu Chengye's order.
Cheng Jin stopped moving immediately.
Chu Chengye casually flicked his index finger towards the door, and there seemed to be a sly smile in his eyes, "Send Concubine Rong back well."
Cheng Jin glared at Chu Chengye fiercely and went back in a sedan chair.
Cheng Jin was very upset about her previous behavior.
I shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards Chu Chengye. I should have suffocated him and made him suffer.
Cheng Jin touched the big gold bracelet on her hand again, calmed down a little, and talked to it, "You are still the best."
After Cheng Jin left, Chu Chengye felt that Jingyang Palace was particularly quiet.
It had always been like this before. Apart from meeting those ministers who were flattering him and reading those cold memorials, he had lived like this for a long time and didn't feel anything. Why did he feel a lot quieter after Cheng Jin left?
Chu Chengye suddenly wanted to eat the perilla that Cheng Jin had just fed him. Wei An happened to come back, so he arranged for Wei An to find it for him.
Wei An wondered why the emperor specifically asked for this thing today when he usually wouldn't even look at these sweet things.
Sure enough, after Wei An brought the perilla over, Chu Chengye just put it in his mouth and spit it out immediately.
Sour.
Too sour.
It was completely different from the one Cheng Jin gave him.
Wei An saw Chu Chengye's reaction and thought it was normal. He was about to take the food away.
Chu Chengye stopped him and said, "No need to take it away. Just put it in the palace."
"Rong Guifei will eat it when she comes."
Wei An finally understood. It was not that the emperor wanted to try it on a whim. It was probably because Rong Guifei said she liked it, so Chu Chengye wanted to eat it. He was not used to eating it, so he wanted to keep it for Rong Guifei to please her.
Wei An responded and thought of a way to please Cheng Jin and told Chu Chengye.
"Your Majesty, if Concubine Rong likes it, I will send it to Concubine Rong's palace. By then, Concubine Rong will remember your kindness and think about Jingyang Palace."
Chu Chengye sneered expressionlessly.
Can Cheng Jin remember his kindness?
I'm afraid that sending the food there would be like throwing it into the sea without any response.
Not to mention that Cheng Jin would think about Jingyang Palace, I'm afraid she wouldn't come even once.
