The palace road was very clean, not a single fallen leaf was visible.
Cheng Qiqi and Yu Ye walked side by side, as cheerful and happy as a little girl who had eaten candy.
Yu Ye looked gentle and asked her some questions from time to time, never making this somewhat long journey too quiet.
He asked Cheng what autumn was like in the Qiqi Mountains.
He envied her that she had seen mountains and water, and said that the farthest place he had been to since he was a child was Yunmeng Academy. No matter how prosperous this palace was, he was tired of seeing it.
Cheng Qiqi really couldn't understand this.
So what if there are mountains and water outside?
How could it compare to the palace? Everything was splendid and magnificent. She felt that even if she could live here for a lifetime or two, she would not get bored.
She could only comment on Yu Ye's mentality as "a well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is".
People who have been blessed with wealth since childhood naturally do not understand the sufferings and yearning for wealth of people like her.
Cheng Qiqi felt sour and envious.
However, she still had to put on a considerate look on her face and comforted: "Third Prince, don't be sad. If the Third Prince becomes the emperor in the future, he can go wherever he wants."
The whole world is not the land of the king.
When Yu Ye becomes emperor, the whole world will belong to him.
Isn't this much happier than going to some mountain?
"Really?" After hearing this, Yu Ye's lips flashed with sarcasm. He looked at Cheng Qiqi with gentle eyes, knowing that he could not have any sympathy with her on this kind of problem.
So he simply changed the subject, "By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. The palace will host a banquet for the ministers and their families. The imperial grandmother will definitely want you to accompany her. Have you thought about what to wear on that day?
Or if there is nothing suitable, I will go and tell the Imperial Grandmother and ask her to remember to send someone to prepare new clothes for you."
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your concern." After hearing these words, Cheng Qiqi felt a hint of joy in her heart. She raised her voice and said, "The Imperial Grandmother mentioned it once before. I believe new clothes will be delivered in the next two days."
"Well, that's good." Yu Ye nodded.
Cheng Qiqi looked at his gentle and harmless face, and suddenly thought of what Yu Jiujiu had said before, about making mooncakes for Emperor Xuanping.
Maybe he is still a little worried about Yu Jiujiu.
Cheng Qiqi couldn't help but ask: "Does the Third Prince know what mooncake flavor the Emperor likes the most?"
When Yu Ye heard this question, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not surprised.
"Father's taste is a bit special...I can't say, why are you asking?" Yu Ye said.
Cheng Qiqi knew as soon as he heard his hesitation that Yu Jiujiu was indeed not lying.
Because Yu Jiujiu had said before that this kind of thing should not be kept public. The chef in the imperial kitchen would never say it openly, and people in private would not dare to discuss it.
"I want to make a mooncake for the Emperor with my own hands as a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As you know, Third Prince, I can't afford to give it away if it's too expensive. But I feel that if I make it myself, my sincerity will be more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold." Cheng
Qiqi said the words she had thought of long ago.
"That's a good point." Yu Yue smiled appreciatively.
There was still some hesitation on his face.
But in the end he said: "Father, he has a strong taste, especially garlic."
For example, Yu Jiujiu said last time that he liked to mix meat and wanted to eat it salty, but he didn't say anything about it.
But the more this sentence is used, the more true it becomes.
If it is completely consistent with what Yu Jiujiu said, then some of it would be a bit false.
"That's it. Thank you, Third Prince." Cheng Qiqi was afraid that Yu Ye would talk to Yu Jiu Jiu, so his mind was spinning again and again, "I heard Sister Ninth talking about this before, I thought she was talking to Yu Ye Jiu Jiu.
I was joking, but I didn’t expect it to be true. By the way, Sister Ninth also said she wanted to make mooncakes for the emperor."
"She?" Yu Ye smiled softly, "Listen to her, she also said this during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but that means she is too lazy to do it by herself, and my father doesn't do it anyway.
Dote on her and won't argue with her about this."
"The emperor indeed loves her very much." Hearing this, Cheng Qiqi felt completely relieved.
She can prepare this moon cake well.
Before I knew it, I arrived at Cining Palace.
"I'm going to the Yin family tomorrow. I'll pick you up and go with me." Yu Ye said this and went back to his yard.
Cheng Qiqi felt happy in her heart.
It felt like everything was going according to her imagination.
Early the next morning, Yu Jiujiu had just finished breakfast when Yu Tongren had already arrived.
It's just that his face smells a bit stinky.
As soon as he saw Yu Jiujiu coming out, he said, "I thought the third brother was joking yesterday, but I didn't expect that he really wanted to take Cheng Qiqi to my grandpa's house?"
Not long after Yu Jiujiu woke up, she was still a little confused even after eating.
Hearing this, he replied blankly: "Otherwise?"
Yu Tong was speechless.
But after a while, he added: "Brother Da Huang and the others are also going together. Jiu Jiu, let's take a carriage together. Let Third Brother go with Cheng Qiqi, and Brother Da Huang and the three of them go together."
"
Yu Jiujiu had no objection to this and nodded: "Okay."
So, when it was time to set off, the order of riding the carriages was not much different from last night.
The only variable is that Shen Ling said he wanted to sit with Yu Jiu Jiu.
"Okay." Yu Jiujiu yawned, seemingly carelessly.
However, Cheng Qiqi was already nervous.
She was afraid that Shen Ling and Yu Jiujiu would be alone and what they would say to Yu Jiujiu...
She wanted to follow him, but she knew that the fourth prince would never allow her to come with him.
Cheng Qiqi had no choice but to hold on to his heart all the way.
Thinking of Yu Jiujiu's obviously cold attitude towards Shen Ling, she secretly advised herself to rest assured.
And Yu Jiujiu was carried into the carriage by Yu Tong. As soon as she saw Shen Ling come in and sit down, and the curtain was lowered, she immediately rushed towards Shen Ling happily: "Sister Ling'er!"
She said this affectionately, and rubbed her little head on Shen Ling's neck very affectionately twice.
Shen Ling was originally a little worried, but when he felt that Yu Jiujiu was as enthusiastic as before, he immediately let it go.
"Ziujiu." She raised her hand and pinched Yu Jiujiu's fleshy little face.
"Hehe." Yu Jiujiu leaned his little body in her arms and smiled softly and cutely at her.
"Jiujiu, why are you pressing down on me like this? You'd better come here and sit against me." On the side, Yu Tong didn't like his ninth sister to be so close to others.
Especially people he doesn't like.
So I wanted to pull Yu Jiujiu over.
However, she was strongly rejected by Yu Jiujiu: "No! I haven't been intimate with Sister Ling'er for several days! I'm going to stick to Sister Ling'er! When I get off the carriage at the Yin's house, I will
