After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

After the banquet left, Cheng Jin was afraid that someone walking on the main road would run into Xu Jilin and the others and continue to look for trouble, so he secretly took Cuizhu on a small road.

Seeing that there was no one around, Cuizhu complained in a low voice: "This Huigui person today must have done it on purpose. I have never heard anyone say that Huigui person can dance like this?"

Cheng Jin stood opposite Cuizhu, "You see, you also said that Mr. Hui Gui danced beautifully today. He definitely didn't do it in a day."

Cuizhu nodded and said: "Although I don't like Hui Gui, I have to admit that the dancers who have come to the banquet in the palace in recent years are not as beautiful as Hui Gui today."

"If the empress prepares in advance, she will definitely be no worse than Hui Gui."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Is it the first day you met me?"

Cheng Jin shrugged indifferently: "Hui Gui, she knows a lot."

In the book, when Qu Wanxin helped Chu Huai'an in order to capture Chu Chengye's heart in the early stage, it can be said that she used all the tricks. Today's dance is probably just the beginning.

Cheng Jin also noticed Chu Huaian's expression at the banquet. It was obvious that Chu Huaian was fully aware of what happened today.

It's just that Cheng Jin is still not sure whether it was Qu Wanxin's idea or Chu Huai'an's.

In the book, Qu Wanxin mentioned the idea of ​​getting Chu Chengye's favor and turning a deaf ear to him in order to bring about Chu Chengye's downfall early.

Today's plan failed. How could Qu Wanxin, such an arrogant person, give up so easily.

Cuizhu changed her mood instantly, "Fortunately our emperor doesn't like it."

Cheng Jin smiled and said: "How do you know the emperor doesn't like it? You are not him."

Cuizhu recalled Chu Chengye's reaction at the banquet and said with great seriousness: "Although I am not the emperor, I can see it."

"Everyone present could not take their eyes away when Hui Guiren danced."

Cuizhu pointed at Cheng Jin, "Even the empress can look straight."

Cheng Jin touched his nose a little guilty, "Hahaha, you looked at it very carefully."

Cuizhu continued: "But when I look at the Emperor, I have an expression of impatience on my face."

Cheng Jin said: "Don't you know he always looks so stinky?"

Cuizhu immediately retorted: "That's not true. Although the emperor is usually stern and indifferent, he doesn't show that expression when he treats his empress."

"When the empress was playing the drums, doesn't it mean that the emperor stood up and wielded his sword?"

"With the Empress Dowager helping Hui Gui speak, no one will say yes even if the empress does well. But if the empress is with the emperor, no one will dare to say anything bad about the empress."

Cheng Jin was startled for a moment, then immediately put on a less serious look, "You can see it quite clearly, why don't you go back and see if you can add extra food to the kitchen now?"

"It's hard to get a main table. I originally wanted to have a big meal, but I was targeted all night and didn't even get a chance to eat."

Cuizhu scratched his hair in embarrassment at first, and then agreed.

The two of them returned to Chunhe Palace together.

Cheng Jin just sat down and before he could take a breath, Wei An walked in.

After entering the door, he first saluted Cheng Jin and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has made some new dishes. Your Majesty asked your Majesty to try them to see if they suit your taste."

After Wei An finished speaking, more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs came in, each carrying a dish in their hands. They placed it on the table and quickly left again.

Cheng Jin looked at the dishes on the table, then at Wei An, and asked Cuizhu to give Wei An some money.

Cheng Jin didn't take his eyes off the dishes on the table.

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Wei. I will treat the money as a lucky draw during the New Year."

Wei An didn't push back much and took it back, but he didn't retreat immediately.

When Cheng Jin saw Wei An still standing there, he didn't know why. He looked at him and asked politely:

"Eunuch Wei hasn't eaten yet. You've been running around so hard on New Year's Eve. Why don't you go back and rest early."

Wei An lowered his head even lower, looked at the door frequently, and said uncomfortably: "Thank you for thinking about me, I have already eaten."

"Oh~ Really?"

Cheng Jin deliberately lengthened his tone and followed Wei An's gaze to look out the door.

Chu Chengye was hiding outside the door with his arms folded, pacing around anxiously and poking his head into the room frequently to see Cheng Jin's reaction inside.

But he was afraid of being caught by Cheng Jin, so he only glanced at it and turned around immediately, pretending to be indifferent and not caring what happened inside.

But I couldn't suppress my curiosity and repeated this many times.

Cheng Jin stared at Chu Chengye's exposed hem, her lips raised slightly, and she deliberately raised her voice.

"That's right."

"Then I won't keep Eunuch Wei any longer. Eunuch Wei will thank the Emperor for me when he goes back to report to the Emperor."

"Let's just say I like the Emperor's New Year's gift."

Wei An raised his head slightly to look at Cheng Jin with some doubts on his face, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Cheng Jin nodded, his eyes indicating that Wei An could leave.

Wei An was stunned for a second, then understood instantly. He saluted Cheng Jin and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Chu Chengye, who was listening to everything outside the door, tilted his ears and moved closer, as if he didn't believe what was happening in the room.

Cheng Jin actually didn't ask himself a question?

Just let Wei An say thank you and be done with it?

He had been paying attention to Cheng Jin since the beginning of the banquet. He knew that in order to avoid causing trouble, she spoke and moved very little. She didn't even take a few bites of the food at the banquet.

So he had people prepare meals early, thinking that he would be hungry after the banquet, so he tried many times to end the boring banquet early.

He originally wanted Wei An to send it over, but after giving the order, he couldn't help but follow him, wanting to see Cheng Jin's reaction.

In fact, Cheng Jin's reaction was expected by Chu Chengye, but Chu Chengye felt inexplicably uncomfortable without asking himself a word.

Thinking about it, Cheng Jin is so afraid of having anything to do with him. Although there are a few changes now, Cheng Jin's heart has never changed in essence.

A polite thank you was Cheng Jin's best response.

Chu Chengye couldn't help but his eyebrows dimmed a little, and he nodded when he saw Wei An coming out.

Chu Chengye thought that Cheng Jin probably didn't want to see him when he was so happy, so he didn't want to make her unhappy at this time, so he might as well pretend that he had never been here.

Wei An stopped talking, and Chu Chengye didn't say much, turned around and prepared to leave.

Cheng Jin in the room suddenly expressed exaggerated appreciation.

"Wow, the food in the imperial dining room seems to be very good today, but how can you finish eating so much?"

"Don't you think so, Cuizhu?"

Cuizhu was stunned for a second, then immediately took over Cheng Jin's play, "Yes, the emperor asked the imperial dining room to prepare extra rich things."

Cheng Jin's eyes continued to lock on the back of Chu Chengye outside the door.

"I saw the emperor drinking all the time at the banquet. Do you think he ate it?"

Cuizhu shook her head honestly, "This slave doesn't know."

Cheng Jin said: "It would be great if the emperor could come and eat together."

The footsteps preparing to leave outside the door paused.
