Chapter 65



It was not urgent to repair the Zhongcui Palace. King Jing followed Zheng Jing to familiarize himself with the regulations of the Ministry of Works. Zheng Jing had already ordered someone to find the original drawings of the Zhongcui Palace that needed to be referred to and sent them to King Jing.

King Jing unfolded the drawings, and Zheng Jing was ready to answer questions at any time. After all, King Jing had never been in charge of this stall before. Zheng Jing himself had just joined the Ministry of Works and was completely in the dark and didn't understand anything.

But King Jing did not ask directly, but looked at the drawings attentively, and occasionally wrote some notes on the edge.

From Zheng Jing's angle, he couldn't see what King Jing was writing, but he noticed that when King Jing just unfolded the drawing, the silver koi in the crystal bottle suddenly swam over, clinging to the bottle wall near King Jing's elbow. From a distance, it seemed to be resting on King Jing's hand.

Zheng Jing had an illusion that the koi was looking at the drawing with King Jing.

Zheng Jing: "..."

Why did he think so? Could it be that the koi had become a spirit?

The little carp that was mistaken for a spirit: Oh, I'm here now, I want to see my boyfriend at work!

Li Yu had seen King Jing read, write and paint, but had never seen King Jing's office. Li Yu was also curious about what ancient drawings looked like, so he rushed forward. King Jing knew that the little fish was getting excited, and was afraid that it would forget that it was in the bottle and break the bottle. King Jing calmly moved the drawing toward the fish and continued to frown and think.

My boyfriend is so handsome when he is serious!

Li Yu admired King Jing's handsome profile for a while, gave him a kiss from a distance, and then stretched out his fish head to look at the drawing.

Li Yu was a little looking forward to it. What if he had some unique insights that could help King Jing?

There were small houses drawn on the drawing, and Li Yu couldn't tell the difference between the houses. There were also many annotations under the houses. Li Yu had a headache when he saw the words that were smaller than the fish's eyes.

It seems that there is no chance. The drawing knows the fish, but the fish doesn't know the drawing.

Li Yu sighed. There is nothing he can do.

When King Jing saw the key point, he suddenly realized something. When he came to his senses, he saw the fish lying on the edge of the crystal bottle, also staring at the drawing. King

Jing: The little fish actually likes to look at drawings?

The next moment, the fish that likes to look at drawings slid to the bottom of the bottle with a plop.

King Jing: "..."

King Jing laughed secretly. It turned out that the little fish didn't like to look at drawings. The little fish fell asleep again.

Recalling that the little fish got up early today and went to the kitchen to prepare meals for him, King Jing felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub the fish. He did the same when he was reading in the mansion. King Jing didn't think it was a big deal.

The little fish blew a bubble. Even in his sleep, his tail would float over and entangle his fingers a little perfunctorily.

King Jing couldn't help but curl his lips.

"...Your Highness Prince Jing."

Zheng Jing, who was working in the same room with Prince Jing and had been watching for a long time, coughed awkwardly.

Prince Jing raised his head and glanced at Zheng Jing with an inquiring look.

Zheng Jing considered his words and gently advised: "Your Highness Prince Jing, you should not slack off when you are working."

Prince Jing: "..."

Prince Jing glared at Zheng Jing coldly and continued to study the drawings.

He was used to writing down the details that needed attention while reading. Whenever he encountered something unclear, he did not rush to ask Zheng Jing, but he also remembered it, because he could not speak, and asking questions would definitely take up a lot of time. When he picked up the interrupted train of thought again, the effect would definitely be poor. Prince Jing simply read through all the drawings and then concentrated on asking Zheng Jing to solve his doubts.

Zheng Jing kept an eye on King Jing from time to time, and was somewhat surprised that King Jing could keep his composure.

King Jing was slacking off, and although he gave a reminder out of duty, it was actually equivalent to giving King Jing a hard time. If King Jing insisted on giving him a hard time, Zheng Jing could only bear it, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince was the master and he was the minister. However, Zheng Jing did not regret it, he was just that kind of person, and although he wanted to have a good relationship with King Jing, once it came to official business, he would not recognize his relatives.

King Jing was slacking off, and Zheng Jing did not agree with it.

In addition to assisting King Jing, the emperor also gave him a task, asking him to report on King Jing's work in the Ministry of Works.

Zheng Jing was already making a draft in his mind, ready to apologize to the emperor, and he did not think King Jing was suitable for this job.

King Jing brought his pets to the Ministry of Works. Zheng Jing felt that King Jing might not be serious about this job. When he found out that King Jing was slacking off, Zheng Jing thought that this was a waste of time.

But after King Jing finished reading the drawings, he came over and handed him a bunch of annotations. Zheng Jing was shocked when he saw the dense annotations. And the questions that King Jing wrote down to ask him were also many to the point.

After asking a lot of questions, Lord Zheng broke out in a sweat again.

He was anxious before because he couldn't guess what King Jing was thinking, and now he was almost embarrassed by King Jing's questions.

Zheng Jing couldn't help but think of the third prince who had come to the Ministry of Works to do work a few years ago. However, the third prince thought that the Ministry of Works only dealt with building houses all day long, which was very rustic and dishonorable, and he was very unhappy. It was said to be an assignment, but after drinking tea in the Ministry of Works for several days, the Minister of Works wrote a memorial to the emperor, saying that the third prince was not suitable for this assignment, so the emperor transferred the third prince to another place.

In comparison, although Prince Jing was a little eccentric and liked to slack off, he could calm down and study the drawings, which was something that the other princes could not compare to.

Zheng Jing had a better opinion of Prince Jing, but he still did not intend to say in the memorial that Prince Jing was not suitable. He even felt a little sorry that Prince Jing could not speak. With such an attitude, Prince Jing should be a person who could concentrate on his work. What a pity.

"If Your Highness has any confusion in the future, please tell me. If I can't answer, Your Highness can ask the Minister." Zheng Jing said gently.

Prince Jing nodded.

After reading the drawings, it was time to fish. King Jing pulled back a point. Facing Zheng Jing's indescribable gaze, he put the fish in the crystal bottle into the lotus bowl that came with the fish and rubbed it openly.

Zheng Jing: "..."

During the meal, King Jing unwrapped the huge package containing lunch and took out an equally large food box from it. There were three large bowls in the food box.

King Jing opened the lids of the bowls one by one. Zheng Jing, who was sitting not far from King Jing, saw with his sharp eyes... a bowl of mushy rice, a bowl of dark black vegetables that could not be identified, and another bowl... that looked a bit like soft cucumbers.

Zheng Jing asked with interest: "What dishes did His Highness bring?"

After asking, Zheng Jing remembered that who could write during a meal, how could King Jing pay attention to him, it would be useless to ask, and he might even blame him.

Who knew that King Jing was in a good mood, not only did he not blame him, but he also took out two notes from his sleeve and handed them to Zheng Jing casually.

Zheng Jing: ???

When did His Royal Highness Prince Jing prepare this note? Did he foresee that he would ask?

Two dishes, one for each. Zheng Jing took the note and took a look at each. The notes said: Minced pork eggplant made by boyfriend, and smashed cucumber made by boyfriend.

Zheng Jing: “…”

It turned out that the dish that could not be identified was minced pork eggplant. Is there an eggplant as black as charcoal?

Zheng Jing did not dare to approve of the future princess’s cooking skills.

However, Prince Jing not only prepared the note, but also introduced his boyfriend’s cooking skills to others at any time. He also ate all three bowls without changing his expression or heartbeat.

Zheng Jing was shown off again, and said in admiration: “Your Highness and… the princess have a really good relationship.”

Prince Jing’s hand gently rested on the crystal bottle, touched the slippery back of the little carp, and nodded slightly.

The fish in the crystal bottle that had just woken up started to feel complacent. Oh, was he praised? !

He had gotten up early to prepare both dishes, and he also cooked the rice. Although the eggplant had turned black for some reason and the rice was a little mushy, it should taste good! There was also the smashed cucumber, which King Jing also liked!

Li Yu suddenly had an idea and decided to try his own cooking skills. Maybe he had made a qualitative leap.

He took advantage of Zheng Jing's inattention and quietly swam to the mouth of the crystal bottle. King Jing's bowl was not far from the crystal bottle. Li Yu planned to take a small piece of eggplant from King Jing's bowl.

It was just a vegetarian dish, so the fish should be able to eat it.

King Jing had already tasted the eggplants, and was afraid that Xiaoyu would be shocked after eating them, so he rushed in front of the fish and ate all the eggplants in the bowl in two or three bites. He ate all the smacked cucumbers without leaving any, and didn't drop a single grain of rice.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu was ecstatic. His cooking skills had really improved, otherwise why would King Jing eat so fast and even compete with him for food?

Li Yu began to think about unlocking more recipes. He was a useful boyfriend. He could not only help King Jing with drawings, but also help him cook. The fish

finally calmed down. King Jing didn't know that Xiaoyu's devilish love meal was still behind, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When

the emperor's order to King Jing to do something reached the ears of the third prince, Mu Tianming was a little uneasy. The reason was simple. Mu Tianming asked several ministers to plead for him, hoping that the emperor would use him again, but the emperor ignored them and turned to find King Jing.

What can a mute do?

Would the emperor rather use a mute than use him? No

matter how dissatisfied Mu Tianming was, he did not dare to act rashly. The emperor had made it clear that he was very disgusted with him. The injuries of the Sixth Prince and his son had almost healed. The emperor released the Sixth Prince from his ban, but not his own. He still had to study and copy scriptures every day. Mu Tianming was anxious. If he was banned for a long time, how could he appease the ministers who followed him?

He was reading in the study room, and he could see that the emperor was already deliberately training the two little princes. Even the teacher who taught the little princes to read was replaced by the emperor's own imperial teacher.

The emperor favors some over others, and he wants to put him behind the young prince and King Jing! Mu Tianming couldn't help but complain to the Sixth Prince who came to visit him.

Mu Tianxiao reminded him gently, "Brother, have you forgotten the lesson from last time? You should calm down first. Father wants to see your attitude. If you don't make any more mistakes, father will not bear to leave you alone for too long. Don't worry, I'm here outside, I will help you to watch."

Mu Tianming's eyes lit up. What the Sixth Prince said made sense, and the Sixth Prince had been with him for several years, so he should still be trustworthy.

Last time, he didn't listen to the Sixth Prince's words, and he suffered a great loss, which made the Third Prince trust the Sixth Prince more.

Mu Tianming said urgently: "With you here, I can feel more at ease... I have some manpower that I can hand over to you, just help me take care of it first."

Mu Tianming took out a token from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince took it. No matter how much he liked this move, the Sixth Prince did not show any pride on his face. He still thanked the Third Prince in a friendly manner, and was extremely grateful to the Third Prince for giving him this opportunity. He would definitely repay him in the future.

The Sixth Prince put away the token and walked out calmly in front of the Third Prince.
