Chapter 100

Li Jing laughed mockingly, the Wang family is really calculating, but is it true that they can't see anything when they are emperors?

"Sometimes, quick success is not a good thing."

The Wang family had intended to select a daughter from the Wang family to be sent to the palace before, but since this period of time, there has been no news. It must be that they have not found a suitable woman, or they think that their mother and child are still valuable.

Sending a daughter of the royal family to the palace may not be able to win the favor of the emperor. If there is no splash in the palace, it will be a waste of a daughter of the royal family.

Instead of sending her daughter to gamble, it would be faster to win over Prime Minister Lou.

Prime Minister Lou is the head of civil servants, and all scholars in the world are his disciples, who wants to enter the court without the approval of Prime Minister Lou?

And the emperor was already jealous of the Wang family, but it's just that it's not time to tear up their faces, so they don't want to make too ugly, and save each other's face.

If the emperor allows the two families to marry, the consequences can be imagined.

"How's it going with you?"

Li Jing turned to look at Xing Bai, he was very worried about the matter that the servant of the Wang family almost bumped into Cui Yuexi.

"The subordinates have already dealt with it."

Li Jing nodded, then waved his hand to signal the two to go down, and after the two left, he got up and walked to the back window, flew away and went straight to Cui Yuexi's Haitang Pavilion.

Since Cui Yuexi felt being peeped in the bath last time, she has become extra vigilant even when sleeping.

Just as Li Jing landed on the eaves, his feet made a faint sound on the tiles, which still did not escape Cui Yuexi's ears.

In her sleep, she frowned slightly, then opened her eyes and turned to look out the window.

Li Jing didn't expect her to be so vigilant, and her eyes were stained with admiration. Cui Yuexi got up and got out of bed, took her clothes, put them on, and left the room.

"When did the fourth prince have the hobby of being a gentleman on Liang?"

Cui Yuexi said sarcastically, Li Jing wanted to leave, but when she saw her, she simply faced it calmly and flew into the courtyard.

When the bright moon was in the sky, he seemed to be stepping on the moon. He was dressed in black clothes and blended into the night, and those deep pupils seemed to reveal a terrifying deterrent force, making people sink into it unconsciously.

Cui Yuexi realized her thoughts, and then turned her head away from looking into his eyes.

At this moment, Gulu...an embarrassing voice came. Cui Yuexi thought she had heard it wrong, so she listened carefully. Sure enough, there was another sound of stomach growling.

"Have you eaten yet?" Cui Yuexi asked lightly.

Li Jing nodded, "Too many things to deal with today, I forgot."

Where did he forget it? It was clear that when he was eating, he looked at the food cooked by the cook at home, and his mind was full of the lotus root ribs soup made by Cui Yuexi.

He only took a few bites before he couldn't eat anymore. Li Jing is not a picky eater, but he only loves the lotus root ribs soup made by Cui Yuexi.

Although it is not as fine as Yuchu's, it has a strong smell of fireworks, which makes him taste different.

Seeing that he stood there with no intention of leaving, Cui Yuexi simply turned and went to the kitchen.

"Let me make something for you, please keep your voice down, Hongxing and the others are all asleep."

Seeing her walking towards the kitchen, Li Jing followed Cui Yuexi in with a faint warmth in his eyes.

She skillfully lit the stove, then put a crock pot on the stove, skillfully cleaned the ribs and lotus root, and put them into the pot.

"How do you know I prefer this one?"

Li Jing was surprised, and immediately asked.

Cui Yuexi smiled slightly, 【Of course I know everything. 】

"I've observed you. You can eat no more than three chopsticks per dish, but whether it's lotus root stewed pork ribs soup or simple lotus root stewed pork ribs, you always return your chopsticks four times."

Whether it is the court or the dignitaries, there are many table manners, and the most common rule is not to return three chopsticks after eating, so as not to lose your manners in front of outsiders.

But the dish that can make Li Jing return chopsticks four times must be his favorite.

"You're smart." Li Jing praised her so generously, and Cui Yuexi smiled wryly. It was a bloody lesson for her to be vigilant at all times, to observe the surrounding environment, and to exclude all possible dangers.

Perhaps it was because of her vigilance at all times that she developed the ability to observe the subtleties without making a fuss.

While Cui Yuexi was cooking, she was chatting with Li Jing. The two were separated by a distance of one person. Li Jing watched her cook slowly, and the warmth in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Cui Yuexi put the lid on, then turned around to find two small benches, handed one to Li Jing, and sat down.

"Wait a minute."

Cui Yuexi couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she simply went back to her room and took out the soles and other fabrics she had put in before, and sat down to prepare the shoes.

Li Jing looked at the soles of the shoes, which were more than half bigger than Cui Yuexi's hands, and her eyes were stained with displeasure. The shoes she made were clearly grown men's shoes.

Who is this for?

Is it Liu Chengguang?

On the day of Mrs. Liu's birthday, he saw that Liu Chengguang and Cui Yuexi had a close relationship, and it was understandable for his sister to make a pair of shoes for his brother, but he was always uncomfortable in his heart, with an unspeakable feeling rippling.

Cui Yuexi obviously felt the murderous intent on the people around her, and turned to look at Li Jing, seeing his livid face, she couldn't help frowning.

[Why are you so angry again? 】

Li Jing listened to the muttering in her heart, her complexion showed no sign of relief, and Cui Yuexi was not talking to him anymore. In the huge kitchen, there was only the crackling of the fire and the gurgle of the soup after it boiled.

The lotus root spareribs took a lot of cooking, Cui Yuexi finished one boot and put it down, got up to check, sat down and continued to make the second one.

Li Jing sat there with a gloomy face. The small kitchen was already dimly lit, and with the air-conditioning around him, if someone passed by, he would definitely be frightened.

As time passed, Cui Yuexi's second shoe was also ready. She got up to check, and it happened that the lotus root ribs were also ready.

She took out the bowls and chopsticks and served him some.

Li Jing sat there with a cold face, as if someone owed him money.

[It's really hard to figure out, the temper comes when you say it, it's really hard to serve. 】

Cui Yuexi didn't even know where Li Jing's taboo was violated, so he suddenly became angry, and his anger still didn't seem to ease up in the slightest.

Li Jing ate the ribs in silence, but her eyes were fixed on Cui Yuexi. She carefully wrapped her shoes with the same moon-white cloth and put them aside. After packing up, she went back to the kitchen again.

After Li Jing finished eating a few pieces of ribs, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up to leave. Seeing him leave, Cui Yuexi hurriedly spoke.

"Well, wait a minute!"

[Although you are pulling your face, the shoes are made for you, should I give them to you? 】

Li Jing was overjoyed, the shoes were made for him?
The mood that was still clouded just now suddenly became brighter, and he looked at Cui Yuexi with clear eyes.
