Chapter 94 A heartwarming moment

Cui Yuexi picked up an apron and tied it around her waist, washing and cutting vegetables in an orderly manner. Li Jing stood aside and leaned on the door frame to watch.

Seeing that Cui Yuexi still had to light the fire and was busy with other things, he simply sat on the small stool next to the stove and helped her light the fire.

"Fourth Prince, please don't stay here, lest you choke on the fumes."

Cui Yuexi urged him to leave, but Li Jing did not leave.

"It doesn't matter, I always have to go back home and change clothes later."

Cui Yuexi nodded. Since he was willing to help, she didn't have to run back and forth.

She concentrated on chopping vegetables, and the kitchen knife in her hand was very flexible. Li Jing lit the fire while looking at Cui Yuexi unscrupulously.

[Why are you staring at me? Have you never seen a beautiful woman? 】

[If people know that the prince is lighting a fire for me here, I wonder what crime I will be executed on? 】

Huanyue spoke, Jiaojiao hurriedly agreed, and the two immediately returned to the house. Hongxing was surprised and asked doubtfully.

"I don't want it. Cousin Fei won it, so you can keep it for yourself."

Huanyue looked at their happy faces, shook her head helplessly, laughed, and went to play with the two children.

For Liu Rufei, she only understood the literal meaning, but Liu Ruwen on the side just smiled slightly when she heard her say so, obviously guessing the purpose of Prime Minister Lou's family.

He looked at Cui Yuexi. In the hot weather, she was immersed in cooking, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her cheeks were very red.

Cui Yuexi added a lot of ice to the plum soup. She was afraid that he would be too hot when she saw him lighting a fire by the stove, so he drank it in one gulp. Can his body bear it?

Li Jing suddenly came back to her senses, raised her head and met Cui Yuexi's clear eyes, took the plum soup in her hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

"If you like to drink, there's some over here."

She saw Liu Rufei holding a fried brush in her hand, itching on her nose.

Liu Ruwen smiled helplessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, while Liu Rulu picked up the cakes on the table and ate them without ceremony.

"What's the matter again?"

Cui Yuexi's previous experience of eating with Li Jing allowed her to guess Li Jing's favorite dishes.

Although her mother's cooking is delicious, she always gets tired of it after eating for a long time. Cui Yuexi's cooking skills are also very good. Now she comes to Cui Yuexi's yard and eats every chance she gets.

Cui Yuexi was very tired and fell asleep with her two children in her arms. She slept for an unknown amount of time.

Mother and son also competed with each other because of their different opinions. In the end, one party always had to give in before giving up.

"Fourth Prince, drink a bowl of plum soup to relieve the heat."

Cui Yuexi stood up and saw that Liu Ruwen and Liu Rulu were also there, and she was convinced that there was something going on that required the gang to go out together.

Not long after, Huanyue and others put the food on the table. There were ice cubes in the main hall to cool down, which was much cooler than outside. Cui Yuexi, Li Jing and two children sat around the table, eating the meal warmly.

"The fire is almost done, no need to burn it."

There are also stewed pork ribs with lotus root in mushroom soup, refreshing cold dishes, and seasonal stir-fried vegetables.

Li Jing walked to the stone table under the tree and sat down. After Hongxing brought herbal tea, she took Brother Ye and Sister Rong to catch butterflies.

"Didn't you go help the eldest girl with cooking? Why are you back so soon?"

The steamed sea fish in the pot is the favorite of Brother Ye and Sister Rong. The sea fish has fewer bones, making it easier for the children to eat, and the meat is particularly delicious.

"Oh, good!"

Cui Yuexi didn't ask, but instead murmured in her heart.

The two children smiled happily. Li Jing looked at the exceptionally harmonious scenery in the courtyard, and it seemed that he had found something that could fill the vacancy in his heart.

Jiaojiao smiled evilly, as if she had a big secret to share with the two of them, and motioned for the two of them to come around her.

Du Ruo also had a puzzled look on her face. When Hongxing asked her doubts, she waited patiently for the answer.

While Cui Yuexi was working, she was thinking wildly. Li Jing didn't even raise her head, listening to her muttering to herself in her heart, the smile on her face became more and more obvious.

Just as Liu Ruwen was about to speak, Liu Rufei beat her to it.

When Liu Rufei saw her waking up, a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face.

"Cousin Yuexi, I have inquired about it. The jade pendant is of very good quality. I plan to win it back and give it to you."

When Li Jing heard that she was worried about him, his mood instantly improved. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, got up and went outside the kitchen.

Just when he was distracted, Cui Yuexi had already walked up to him.

"I don't like the excitement. I just want to stay at home with Brother Ye and Sister Rong."

Huanyue and Jiaojiao originally planned to let Hongxing and Du Ruo watch the two children. They planned to go to the small kitchen to help Cui Yuexi with the work. However, before they even got close, they saw a particularly warm scene between them.

"Cousin Yuexi, my grandmother said that you will marry into the royal palace in the future. If you have the opportunity, go out with us and meet other people, so that you will not be unclear about who is who in the future."

"Let's go back and take care of Sister Rong and Brother Ye."

Cui Yuexi refused, but was amused by Liu Rulu's righteous words.

Cui Yuexi put down her teacup and looked at the three of them.

Cui Yuexi said something and went back to continue cooking.

After the meal, Li Jing did not stay long, so she said goodbye and left.

The Lou family is interested in the two women from the Liu family, and they will probably decide who to marry later.

“Delicious.”

Cui Yuexi was moved by the friendship between the sisters who were eager to share everything with her. On the other hand, she watched Liu Ruwen and Liu Rufei secretly speculate.

Li Jing has never had such a peaceful moment. In his life, there are intrigues every day, so that he cannot treat a good concubine like an ordinary son treats his mother.

"Let me just say cousin Yuexi is smart. Let me tell you, we are going to the annual poetry competition held at Prime Minister Lou's house soon. I heard that this year's top prize is a jade pendant that the Prime Minister's wife always carries with her."

Suddenly her nose felt itchy, as if she was about to sneeze, which would disturb the two children. She suddenly opened her eyes and was about to get up.

She got up and went outside, poured a cup of tea for the three of them, and looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"Hehe..." She smiled maliciously and lowered her voice deliberately.

Several people were chatting, as if the jade pendant was already in their hands.

This poetry meeting is probably a wife-selection meeting held by the Lou family for Lou Yiyang, and Mrs. Lou's jade pendant is probably a token. Otherwise, with so many chips, why would they take out the items that Mrs. Lou brought from her natal family?

Li Jing admired Cui Yuexi's cooking skills very much. After eating her cooking, other people's cooking became difficult to eat.

Cui Yuexi heard that it was Mrs. Liu's intention and agreed.

Thinking that she would get married to Li Jing in four or five months, she felt a little nervous, but thinking about being able to be with her two children, she began to look forward to it again.

"Then it's settled. We'll be waiting for you tomorrow. If you can't bear to leave Brother Ye and Sister Rong, just take them with you and we can look after them for you."

Liu Rufei patted her chest very interestingly, looking like she could do it, which made Cui Yuexi laugh.
