Chapter 100 The Wang family is very calculating

Li Jing smiled sarcastically, the Wang family is really good at calculating, but do they really think that the emperor can't see anything?

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

The Wang family had previously intended to select a daughter from the Wang family to send to the palace, but since then, there has been no news. It must be that they have not found a suitable girl, or they feel that their mother and son are still valuable.

Sending a daughter of the royal family to the palace may not necessarily win the emperor's favor. If she cannot stir up any excitement in the palace, a daughter of the royal family will be wasted.

Instead of sending my daughter to gamble, it would be better to win over Prime Minister Lou and do it faster.

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

The emperor was already afraid of the Wang family, but when it was time to break up, they didn't want to make it too ugly, so they could save face for each other.

If the emperor allows the marriage between the two families, the troubles in the future can be imagined.

"How are you handling it over there?"

"You haven't eaten yet?" Cui Yuexi asked calmly.

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

[He is really unpredictable, his temper comes at every turn, and he is really difficult to take care of.]

The bright moon was in the sky, and he seemed to be walking on the moon. His black clothes blended into the night, and his pair of deep pupils seemed to exude a frightening power, making people unconsciously sink into it.

Although it is not as refined as the one made by the imperial chef, it has a strong smell of fireworks, giving him a different taste.

Cui Yuexi raised her lips and smiled, "Of course I know everything."

Liu Chengguang?

"You are quite smart." Li Jing was generous with his praise, and Cui Yuexi smiled bitterly. It was a hard lesson for her, which made her always vigilant, observe the surrounding environment, and exclude all possible dangers.

On the day of Mrs. Liu's birthday, he saw that Liu Chengguang and Cui Yuexi had a close relationship. It was understandable that his sister made a pair of shoes for her brother, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, and there was an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

"My subordinates have taken care of it."

She skillfully lit the stove, then placed an earthen pot on the stove, skillfully washed the ribs and lotus roots, and put them into the pot.

"I've observed you, you can only eat three chopsticks of each dish at most, but whether it's lotus root stewed pork ribs soup or just lotus root stewed pork ribs, you always go back to chopsticks four times."

"I'll make something for you, please keep your voice down, Hongxing and the others are already asleep."

Cui Yuexi realized what she was thinking and immediately turned her head away from looking into his eyes.

Li Jing ate the ribs in silence, but looked at Cui Yuexi. She carefully wrapped her shoes with the same moon-white cloth and put them aside. After packing her things, she returned to the kitchen again.

While Cui Yuexi was cooking, she was chatting with Li Jing. The two were separated by one person's distance. Li Jing watched her cooking slowly, and the warmth in his eyes became more and more difficult to hide.

"How did you know I prefer this?"

Li Jing nodded, "I dealt with too many things today, I forgot."

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

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

Cui Yuexi didn't even know where Li Jing's taboo was violated, so he suddenly became angry, and his anger still hasn't eased at all.

Li Jing was surprised and asked immediately.

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

Time passed little by little, and Cui Yuexi's second shoe was also ready. She stood up to check, and it happened that the lotus root ribs were also ready.

Li Jing looked at the soles, which were more than half the size of Cui Yuexi's hand, with displeasure in her eyes. What she was doing was clearly shoes worn by an adult man.

Li Jing's face showed no sign of relief as he listened to her inner murmurs. Cui Yuexi was no longer talking to him. In the huge kitchen, the only sounds left were the crackling of the fire and the gurgling of the soup.

The lotus root ribs were finished. After Cui Yuexi had finished one boot and put it down, she stood up to check, sat down and continued to cook the second one.

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

"Just a moment."

Li Jing turned to look at Xing Bai. He was worried about the incident where the Wang family's boy almost ran into Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply went back to the room and took out the soles and other fabrics that she had packed before, and sat down to prepare the shoes.

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

Whether it is a palace or a dignitary, there are many table manners. The most common rule is not to eat with three chopsticks, so as not to lose etiquette in front of outsiders.

Perhaps it was because she was always vigilant that she developed the ability to observe subtle things without making a move.

Who is this made for?

Just when Li Jing landed on the eaves, her feet stepped on the tiles and made a faint sound, but it still did not escape Cui Yuexi's ears.

Li Jing sat there with a gloomy face. The light in the small kitchen was dim, and with the cold air radiating around him, if anyone passed by, he would definitely be frightened.

He couldn't finish it after only a few bites. Li Jing is not a picky eater, but he loves the lotus root and pork ribs soup made by Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi spoke sarcastically. Li Jing wanted to leave, but when she saw him, he simply faced him calmly and flew down to the courtyard.

Li Jing saw her walking towards the kitchen, with a touch of warmth in her eyes, and followed Cui Yuexi in.

Since Cui Yuexi felt she was being spied on when she took a bath last time, she has been extra vigilant even when sleeping.

【Why are you so angry again? 】

Cui Yuexi clearly felt that the people around her suddenly had murderous intent. She turned to look at Li Jing and frowned when she saw his livid face.

Li Jing didn't expect her to be so alert, and with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, Cui Yuexi got up and got out of bed, took her clothes, put them on and left the room.

He had forgotten something. He was clearly looking at the food cooked by the chef at home while eating, and his mind was filled with the lotus root and pork ribs soup made by Cui Yuexi.

At this moment, Gulu...an embarrassing voice came. Cui Yuexi thought she had heard it wrong, so she raised her ears and listened carefully. Sure enough, the sound of her stomach growled again right after.

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

Li Jing nodded, and then waved for the two of them to go down. After the two left, he stood up and walked to the back window, flew away and went straight to Cui Yuexi's Haitang Pavilion.

After Li Jing finished eating a few pieces of ribs, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to leave. When Cui Yuexi saw him leaving, she hurriedly spoke.

"Um, wait a minute!"

[Although you are embarrassed, the shoes are made for you. Do I want to give them to you? 】

Li Jing was overjoyed. Were the shoes made for him?

His mood, which was clouded just now, suddenly brightened up, and he looked at Cui Yuexi with clear eyes.
