Chapter 86: This still can't defeat you? I can't defeat you

Wei An saw that Chu Chengye's expression was not so good, so he didn't dare to mention this matter again.

When Cheng Jin woke up the next day, Wei An was already waiting in the palace.

Cheng Jin wondered what excuse Chu Chengye had come up with to let her go.

Wei An didn't hide it, and directly said everything Chu Chengye wanted to say but didn't say.

"Yesterday in Jingyang Palace, the emperor heard that the queen liked to eat perilla, so he specially arranged for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send more to Jingyang Palace."

"The emperor felt that the queen had worked hard in the past few days, taking care of her personally and staying up late to read medical books, so today he specially asked the kitchen to make a few more good dishes and invite the queen to go."

Cheng Jin couldn't believe it.

Could Chu Chengye be so kind?

This dinner might be because Chu Chengye wanted her help with something again.

Cheng Jin didn't know how she had left such a good and capable impression on Chu Chengye.

How could Cheng Jin let him use her.

Since she was asked to go, she would go. It would be a waste if she didn't eat. If she messed up something, it was Chu Chengye who invited her, so she couldn't blame herself.

After all, Wei An said so, so there was no reason for Cheng Jin to refuse. She changed her clothes and followed Wei An.

When they arrived, Chu Chengye was already sitting at the dining table waiting, his eyes occasionally darting out the door.

When he saw Cheng Jin coming, he pretended not to care, glanced at Cheng Jin lightly, and said, "Concubine Rong is really hard to invite."

Wei An wiped the sweat off his face beside him.

When he went to invite Cheng Jin, Chu Chengye made special arrangements not to disturb Cheng Jin's rest, and waited until Cheng Jin woke up before talking, so he waited until this hour.

Why did he talk about this again?

Cheng Jin bowed and saluted, and seemed to be accustomed to Chu Chengye's frequent behavior of making trouble. She explained:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's just that I heard Wei An say early in the morning that the emperor asked me to have dinner with him. I was too happy for a moment, and changed a few more clothes to make the emperor feel fresher. That's why I was late."

Chu Chengye lowered his eyes and saw that Cheng Jin was wearing a light golden long gown with gold thread embroidery, a skirt of the same color on her lower body, and a crimson cloak on the outside. Her complicated hair was full of rich hairpins sent by Chu Chengye, showing her luxury.

If it were someone else, this outfit would look vulgar, but it matches Cheng Jin's slightly coquettish face, and it is a perfect match.

Although it can be seen that she has been carefully dressed up, there is no difference from the past.

It can be heard that Cheng Jin is deliberately perfunctory to her.

Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Jin finished speaking, the voice of complaint fell into Chu Chengye's ears.

[Every day, can you do anything else besides looking for me? ]

[You really thought I wanted to come. ]

[She was indeed dressed up, but she dressed up deliberately to show off. She originally wanted to delay time. Who knew that Wei An could endure so much. ]

[The book says that after Chu Chengye ascended the throne, the former court and the harem hated extravagant people the most. Do you think I am extravagant enough? Do you annoy me enough? 】

Cheng Jin intentionally flashed her overly retouched eye makeup.

Chu Chengye: "..."

Chu Chengye was reluctant to say this to Cheng Jin, and only tapped the table with his fingers bent, "Why don't you sit down and wait for me to treat you?"

Cheng Jin sat over and curled her lips speechlessly.

[Didn't you treat me? ]

During the meal, Cheng Jin intentionally picked up more dishes for Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye had been badly victimized by his books since he was a child. He was suspicious by nature. Everything he ate and drank had been tested multiple times. He didn't dare to trust anyone, let alone eat at the same table with others and eat dishes picked by others.

"Your Majesty, this is delicious."

"And this one."

"This one is not bad either, Your Majesty, eat more."

After a while, the dishes on the plate in front of Chu Chengye were piled up like a small mountain, but Cheng Jin seemed to think it was not enough, and her hands did not stop moving.

Chu Chengye looked down, then looked at Cheng Jin helplessly.

Cheng Jin quickly changed her expression and smiled at Chu Chengye.

[Tyrant, I moved you to tears,

didn't I? I can't defeat you.]

[Don't eat, don't eat, don't eat, it's best to use your most common skill, wave your hand.]

Cheng Jin saw that Chu Chengye had not made any move, but his eyes looked at Cheng Jin more deeply, and Cheng Jin's eyes also became expectant.

Chu Chengye raised his eyebrows slightly and stretched out the chopsticks in his hand to the dish that Cheng Jin had picked up.

Chu Chengye's eyes still did not leave Cheng Jin, and it seemed that he could see that Cheng Jin's tail, which had been shaking non-stop before, was slowly wilting at this moment.

Chu Chengye took a bite and couldn't help but lowering his head and laughing.

Cheng Jin: "?!!"

Really ate it?

No, what if I poisoned you?

Chu Chengye then picked up another dish and put it to Cheng Jin's mouth, "Empress Rong is thoughtful, I should reciprocate."

Cheng Jin looked at the chopsticks in front of her, not knowing whether to eat or not.

Cheng Jin gritted her teeth, pretended to be shy and opened her mouth to eat.

She was right, and the food was right.

The one who was wrong was Chu Chengye in front of her.

Chu Chengye was stunned when he saw Cheng Jin eating, and then a smile reached his eyes, his eyes curved, and he teased Cheng Jin:

"Empress Rong, I mean for you to receive it with the plate."

Cheng Jin: "..."

[I fucking...]

Cheng Jin was really furious, her face instantly burned, and she glared at Chu Chengye.

[If you want to put it down, you won't put it down directly, can't you also say it? ]

[Who knows what you mean when you put the chopsticks to your mouth? Although

Chu Chengye thought that Cheng Jin, who was shy and timid, was particularly rare and interesting, when he saw that Cheng Jin was really angry, he picked up some food for Cheng Jin as an apology and did not mention the matter again.

But this action was naked and mocking in Cheng Jin's eyes.

Cheng Jin picked up the dish and put it into her mouth, biting it with a crunching sound, as if she was biting Chu Chengye in her mouth and was doing this to vent her anger.

But she was still angry, her face was puffed up, and she looked very cute.

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin, and couldn't help but soften his expression a lot, but Cheng Jin's expression was not good, and she never gave Chu Chengye a look.

After dinner, Cheng Jin didn't pay any attention to Chu Chengye, just doing her own things beside her.

Seeing this, Chu Chengye quickly signaled Wei An to bring the perilla, and pretended to put it in front of Cheng Jin casually, "It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't like to eat these. You can eat it to relieve your boredom."

Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chengye, took the thing, and put one in his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste is not bad.

She still didn't talk to Chu Chengye, but her expression was finally better.

Chu Chengye was relieved and sighed in his heart. It was the first time he realized that Cheng Jin was so difficult to coax.

It wasn't over yet. A little eunuch outside the door shouted loudly: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

Cheng Jin exchanged glances with Chu Chengye, and stood up to greet her with some confusion.

According to the past, Empress Dowager Xu would leave Shou'an Palace after entering the Ramsay month. Why did she suddenly come to Jingyang Palace today?

Is there something wrong?

Before he had time to think about it, Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin went out and saw Xu Jilin walking slowly towards the main hall.
