Li Chengxuan was angry, and when he saw Song Jinning ignoring him, he started to feel a little anxious and panicked.
But this master is very arrogant, it is impossible for him to apologize on his own initiative.
He followed Song Jinning silently and walked straight forward.
When they reached the gate of Weiyang Palace, Song Jinning turned to look at him, and just about to speak, Li Chengxuan said quickly: "There is nothing wrong with the previous court; the memorials have also been reviewed."
Song Jinning: ...
very good. Now this master can not only find out what is in her mind, but also learn to answer quickly.
But boss, do you think I have no other reason to drive away other than these two? Are you underestimating me too much
"Even so, Your Majesty, you..."
It's just that she didn't say a word, and something suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
When you look closely, it is a jade pendant.
The color is as green as the water of a lake, and the auspicious pattern of a dragon and a phoenix holding a Ganoderma lucidum is carved in openwork.
Song Jinning raised his head and looked at Li Chengxuan in confusion.
What do you mean, Your Majesty
Being stared at by her, Li Chengxuan felt a little uncomfortable. With a light cough, he turned his head away slightly, his tone sounded a bit cramped.
"This is worth the money you lost just now."
Although this is not a word of apology, it can also be said that this is the first time Li Chengxuan has shown weakness to others, so His Majesty felt his ears burning.
It must have been flushed.
Song Jinning was surprised at first, but when she realized it, she just laughed until she fell down.
"So, Your Majesty, do you think that the reason why I got angry all the way just now is because I didn't win those silver coins?"
Although Li Chengxuan didn't say anything, it was obvious that this was what he meant.
Song Jinning laughed and shook her shoulders.
But after laughing, she began to feel a little depressed.
How greedy is her image in Li Chengxuan's heart
Turning the fan upside down in his hand, he pushed the jade pendant back with the handle of the fan.
"You should take this back, I don't want it. As for the cards you blocked, Your Majesty, I don't need money, okay?"
After all, my father is also the king of Nanyang County, so can he give me less money for the dowry? And now I am occupying the queen's seat, not counting other items, there are two thousand taels of silver for a single case every year, okay
But Li Chengxuan's outstretched hand didn't mean to take it back at all.
"There is no reason to take back what I send out."
Song Jinning looked at him speechlessly.
This male chauvinism is quite strong.
All right, just take it. Don't underestimate this jade pendant, it can be worth a lot of silver.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the wishful knot tied on the jade pendant with two fingers.
Her hands are as smooth as suet and white jade, and the nails on the front are trimmed and round. Although it has been dyed with impatiens, the color is not strong, it is a transparent pink.
Such a pair of hands is pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.
Li Chengxuan stared at her hands intently, and suddenly remembered the pair of jade feet he saw when he took off her shoes and socks that night.
Her jade feet are also white and moist like suet jade, and the nails on the front are also dyed with impatiens just like this...
The heartbeat gradually picked up. Li Chengxuan collected himself, raised his eyes and asked Song Jinning: "Do you like the chain I gave you yesterday?"
Song Jinning had already held the jade pendant in her hand, and said naturally, "I like it."
Not to mention that the chain really caught her fancy, the point is, even if she really didn't like it, she dared not say she didn't like it in front of Li Chengxuan.
Li Chengxuan smiled.
After a pause, he asked again: "Then have you ever worn that chain today?"
The words concealed the apprehension and anticipation that even he himself didn't realize.
Song Jinning felt that Li Chengxuan was a bit like a mother-in-law today. But she didn't express any opinion on this matter, she just nodded and replied briefly: "Wear it."
Mainly because she is lazy. Ever since I tried it on yesterday, I have been too lazy to bend down to take it off.
And the chain is really thin, wearing it is like not wearing it, it feels nothing at all.
As for the two little bells, I think they can't move freely after wearing socks, so they don't ring. So Song Jinning doesn't have to worry.
Li Chengxuan didn't know the reason for this, he just felt that Song Jin would rather wear what he gave him, and he was already very happy. The smile on Zhang Jun's face became more and more obvious.
Zhou Jing, who was standing on the side, looked at it and sighed in his heart. His Majesty was calm and introverted when he was in front of the court, showing his emotions and anger, but he was like a young man in front of the queen. Whether you are angry or happy, you can tell at a glance.
Regarding this, Zhou Jing can only say that the so-called one thing falls one thing is very reasonable. So what if His Majesty is so wise and mighty? The swan was tall and big, wouldn't it still be crushed to death by that petite and exquisite Haidongqing
So calmly wait and see.
Li Chengxuan originally wanted to stay in Weiyang Palace today, but now that he is happy, he doesn't want to leave even more.
And when I am happy, I seem to be able to temporarily throw away my face.
Without waiting for Song Jinning to say something like chasing away guests, she took the lead and walked into the palace gate in front of her.
After sitting down in the hall, he said directly to Song Jinning: "The egg yolk pastry from earlier tasted very good, do you still have it in your palace?"
Song Jinning was about to walk into the hall, but stopped when she heard the words, first looked at Li Chengxuan in surprise, and then turned her head to look out.
It is the bright sky, broad daylight, the pear tree branches and leaves in the courtyard are luxuriant, and the crape myrtle tree is full of flowers.
Everything has clearly remained the same, but how did this His Majesty change so much
Not only did he take the initiative to ask her for something to eat, but even the smile on his face, well, looked like a blooming flower.
Song Jinning slowly walked to the wooden couch by the window and sat down, called Gu Yu and Bai Lu over, and asked them to go to the small kitchen.
After a while, the two of them turned around. On the tea tray in one person's hand was a plate of egg yolk shortbread, and another plate of mung bean cake. There are two bowls of tea on the tea tray in one hand.
The tea is the best white chrysanthemum from the tribute. In autumn, the climate is dry, drink some chrysanthemum tea to relieve the fire. Egg yolk cakes and mung bean cakes are both sweet pastries, and drinking this chrysanthemum tea while eating can relieve the tiredness.
Seeing Li Chengxuan eating two egg yolk crisps and one mung bean cake in one go, Song Jinning smiled secretly.
When he was in Shoukang Palace just now, he was still very reserved. He only ate an egg yolk shortbread, but he didn't expect to be so unrestrained now.
However, Li Chengxuan liked the cakes he asked someone to make so much, and Song Jinning still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He also ate a mung bean cake with him.
After eating, the two sat facing each other and talked.
As usual, when the two of them were alone, they were not as reserved and upright as they were in front of outsiders. Song Jinning was leaning on the backrest, her eyes were closed, and the fan in her hand was shaking once and for all. When asked by Li Chengxuan, she also replied indifferently.
As for Li Chengxuan, how could he remember sitting like a bell, and he was also leaning on the backrest. With one leg bent and the other propped up, you can be as comfortable as you want.
First, I just talked about some new money-making methods that he had figured out recently, and asked Song Jinning if he had anything to add, or any suggestions.
Song Jinning was very puzzled after hearing this.
You said that this is a good emperor, how to talk is how to make money, and how to keep silent is how to save money
You are also a romantic hero after all, which romantic hero have you ever met who is a money stringer
And if you have such thoughts, you can't discuss with your courtiers? No matter how bad it is, it's okay to discuss with the Queen Mother, why do you come to ask me all day long? As far as the little stock in my stomach is concerned, I gave it all to you during the last negotiation, and there is not a single drop left at the moment.
Besides, don't you see that my eyes are closed, obviously I'm sleepy
So Song Jinning didn't answer these questions very positively.
Later, when Li Chengxuan talked about the preparations for the Queen Mother Song's birthday in a few days, Song Jinning became even more inactive.
The rules of the royal family are the most important. Regarding the Queen Mother's birthday, there is a corresponding regulation. Even if Song Jinning is the lord of the harem in name, it cannot be changed without authorization. Otherwise, the memorabilia of those good courtiers in the previous dynasty should have been sent to Li Chengxuan's case one by one.
In addition, this is not the first time that the Empress Dowager Song's birthday is held, it has to be held every year, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally knows what to do. All Song Jinning had to do was to take a look at the various declarations submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and stamp the Phoenix seal after confirming that they were correct. She didn't have to worry about the rest.
And according to the original book, although the Queen Mother Song's birthday is a lifelong event for Li Chengxuan, for her, it is nothing at all. Just wait and see the show.
So she didn't take Li Chengxuan's words to heart at all, and then fell asleep.
At first, Li Chengxuan didn't know that she was asleep, but he didn't get an answer after talking to her for a long time, so he turned his head and looked over.
At a glance, Song Jinning's eyes were closed, and the round fan embroidered with wisteria flowers and butterflies in her hand covered her chin and lips.
He heard her breathing lightly and slowly, and then realized that she was asleep.
Although this was not the first time that Song Jinning fell asleep in front of him, it was the first time that Song Jinning suddenly fell asleep while talking like this, so it was no wonder that Li Chengxuan was surprised.
After a moment of surprise, he turned his head and looked out the window.
Although the sun is still warm outside, it is autumn after all, and the shade inside the house is not as cool as outside, let alone people who are asleep. So she got up lightly and went to the closet to get a green silk cloak, and gently covered Song Jinning.
She still holds the round fan in her right hand. But how much strength can a sleeping person have in his hand? Li Chengxuan took the round fan out of her hand with just a light twitch.
It's just that her skin is soft and tender. In just such a short time, the edge of the round fan has pressed a slight red mark on her cheeks, like a red plum blooming in the pure white snow. .
Li Chengxuan stared at the red mark for a long time, and in the end, by accident, before he could react, he gently stroked it with his hand.
I just feel that the skin in my hands is delicate and smooth, and the shelled pigeon eggs are no different. If you get close, you can still smell the faint fragrance of her body.
Li Chengxuan knew that Song Jinning never liked incense, and there was not even an incense burner in the hall, so the faint fragrance on her body could not be any spices.
And as far as Li Chengxuan knew, there was no spice in this world that could match Song Jinning's fragrance.
Once again, like a ghost, before he himself could react, he had already bent down and lowered his head, his lips gently touched the red mark on Song Jinning's cheek.
