I overturned after cheating His Majesty

After Chu Fengqi asked this sentence, he also realized that he shouldn't have asked.Now that cat is not by Jing Yu's side, it is conceivable that something happened to that cat later, it should not be a good ending anyway.

Asking about this on New Year's Eve is just adding to the sadness.

"Later..." Jing Yu unexpectedly showed no sentimental emotion, "I always thought he left me and went back. But not long ago I thought about it, maybe he had no choice but to leave."

Chu Fengqi: "???"

If he remembers correctly, he asked what happened to the cat, not the man?

How do you think that a "cat" has a hard time and is forced to leave?

But he couldn't ask any more questions.

"Maybe it's really a last resort." Chu Fengqi comforted, "After all, Your Majesty is so kind to that cat, and Your Majesty also said that the cat is squeamish and picky eaters, so you probably won't want to leave voluntarily."

"Maybe." Jing Yu nodded thoughtfully.

**

When Chu Fengqi served the two dishes of steamed carp and spicy chicken, Jing Yu took a meaningful look at the steamed carp.

All the eunuchs and maids had left the palace, leaving only Chu Fengqi and Jing Yu in the palace.

It was already evening.

The crackling sound of firecrackers was faintly heard in the distance.The festive and lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve in the capital can be glimpsed even in the deep palace.

At some point outside, there were numerous snowflakes.

The earth dragon in the hall is slightly warmer, as if in a warm and comfortable spring, not affected by the wind and snow outside at all.

The dining table is placed under the window, through which you can see the fine snow falling outside and listen to the soft sound of falling snow.

The dining table is a small round table, which is suitable for two people to eat facing each other.

The dining table was full of dishes. Except for the steamed carp and spicy chicken diced made by Chu Fengqi, the rest were all made by Jingyu. The combination of meat and vegetables was complete in color, fragrance and taste. It was a chef's craftsmanship at first glance.

Freshly baked hot dishes exude a hot air that seems to have a tangy aroma.

The cold and solemn palace in the past seemed to be grounded because of the warm fireworks.

Chu Fengqi sat down on the chair in front of the table, and blinked innocently at Shang Jingyu's meaningful gaze: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this steamed carp?"

You don't need to guess that he knows that Jing Yu may think that he uses "fish" to connotate something.

Of course, he didn't admit it.

To be honest, he was also a little surprised that he played very well.This steamed carp dish is served on a blue and white porcelain oblong plate, served with shredded ginger, chopped green onion, and soy sauce, and it looks pretty good.There is a faint scent of fish mixed with sauce.

"No problem, it looks good." Jing Yu also sat down on the chair in front of the table, facing Chu Fengqi, facing the window sideways.

While talking, Jing Yu scooped up half a bowl of black-bone chicken and yam soup for Chu Fengqi and put it in front of his table, and then scooped up another half bowl for himself.

"Then Your Majesty will give it a try?"

Chu Fengqi looked at Jing Yu expectantly.

Although it looks good, the main food is the taste.After all, these two dishes are considered "gifts", and Jing Yu should be the first to taste them.

"Then I'll try it." Jing Yu picked up a piece of fish dipped in sauce, chewed and tasted it slowly.

"How does it taste?" Chu Fengqi looked at Jing Yu's serious look, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Well, the taste is very good." Jing Yu looked at him, nodded and said.

"Really?" Although Chu Fengqi was dubious, he was a little happy to hear Jing Yu's praise.

"Really, I'm not lying to you." Jing Yu smiled lightly, teasing slightly with soft brows and eyes, "I just didn't expect you to actually have a hand?"

Chu Fengqi: "..."

"Do I look so untouchable?"

"You look more delicate."

Chu Fengqi: "...Why am I so coquettish?"

Chu Fengqi refused to accept.He has heard Jing Yu say that he is squeamish more than once.

But, what is it about him that looks squeamish?He thought he was pretty independent.

"It's better to be delicate." Jing Yu looked at him, and said half jokingly and half seriously, "Raise you more delicately, so that you look lonely and good at raising others."

Chu Fengqi: "..."

Being stared at by Jing Yu without blinking, his dark and deep eyes seemed to see through his soul, which made him stunned when he met Shang Jingyu's eyes.

In that fleeting moment, he suddenly understood Jing Yu's unfinished meaning with a tacit understanding: raise you up more delicately, and you will be reluctant to part with it, and you won't run away.

Chu Fengqi's fingertips trembled slightly.

"Do you want to try this spicy chicken again, Your Majesty?" He said nonchalantly, pointing to another dish he made.

Jing Yu likes spicy food, but few people know it.

Jing Yu abided by etiquette since he was a child, and was also brought up to get used to a light diet, not picky eaters, not showing his love for a certain food, and deliberately hiding his likes and dislikes.Over time, it seems that even I almost forgot my own preferences.

When Chu Fengqi persuaded Jing Yu to taste the spicy diced chicken, he also picked up a piece of steamed carp and wanted to taste it, to see if it tasted as good as Jing Yu said.

However, when a piece of steamed carp entered the mouth, Chu Fengqi couldn't help frowning.

To be honest, the taste of this steamed carp is really average.The fish was steamed for too long and too old, not tender enough.And the prepared sauce is too salty.

This smell made him embarrassed to say that this was a "gift" he was going to make up for Jing Yu.

Compared with Jing Yu's chef skills, how could he have the nerve to show it?

"A Sheng is so polite today, is it because he thought he scolded the lonely 'tyrant' in his sleep last night?" Jing Yu took a piece of spicy chicken and glanced at him with a half-smile.

Not to be outdone, Chu Fengqi raised his eyebrows: "Couldn't it be that my conscience discovered today that I want to take pity on Your Majesty?"

"...All right." The corner of Jing Yu's mouth twitched, "Then thank you, A Sheng, for taking pity on the orphan?"

As the lights come on, the snowflakes outside the window are getting bigger and bigger.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year - for most people, it seems that this is a good omen, especially when the auspicious snow comes on New Year's Eve.

The vigil was long and boring.But on New Year's Eve, a special reunion and festive day, there are people who are pleasing to the eye to accompany the vigil, but it does not have a warm atmosphere.

Surrounded by the red-burning fire, Xue Ye listened to the sound of snow falling outside, chatting one after another, and dropped chess pieces on the chessboard at a leisurely pace.

It's really warm and relaxing.

But Chu Fengqi would be very upset - because he lost the chess game again.

Doesn't Jing Yu know how to let him play a game or two? !

He flicked his hands shamelessly, messing up the chess pieces on the white jade chessboard: "No more moves, no more moves!"

"It's agreed, the loser has to answer a question to the winner." Jing Yu said slowly, looking at Chu Fengqi with helplessness.

"...You just ask!" Chu Fengqi gritted his teeth authentically.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't give up my life to accompany the gentleman!Fortunately, he thought that Jing Yu might not be in a good mood today, so he tried to follow Jing Yu's lead.I thought the so-called winning or losing bet was just a joke, but I didn't expect Jing Yu to take it seriously!

"No rush." ​​Jing Yu tidied up the scattered chess pieces elegantly and naturally, "It is only said that the losers should answer the winners' questions, but there is no rule whether to ask questions now or later if necessary."

Chu Fengqi: "..."

The tyrant, the treacherous villain!

"Don't be angry." Jing Yu took advantage of his unpreparedness and gently pinched his puffy cheeks, "Hey, I'll let you play the next game."

"...Say yes, you want to let me."

In the beginning Chu Fengqi was so angry that he almost wanted to reject Jing Yu's "concession", but the next second he thought that he should not do so in vain, at least he could get an "answer" from Jing Yu, so of course he couldn't let it go.

Jing Yu won him a few rounds in a row without being polite, and pinched his face without his consent, there must be a price to pay, right?

So, under Jing Yu's release, Chu Fengqi finally won a round.

And he also followed Jing Yu's example, choosing to ask Jing Yu again when he needed an "answer".

The sound of crackling firecrackers outside is getting louder and louder, and the end of New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer.

At the end of this rare and memorable New Year’s Eve, both Chu Fengqi and Jing Yu drank some wine in response to the atmosphere—well, to be precise, Chu Fengqi only drank a small glass of wine, while Jing Yu’s face He drank several glasses in a row without changing his expression.

Chu Fengqi was almost taken aback by Jing Yu's "drinking" behavior.

If it wasn't for Jing Yu's complexion looking normal and calm as always, Chu Fengqi would have worried about whether Jing Yu would get drunk.

He remembered that it was mentioned in the plot in the book that Jing Yu's drinking capacity seemed to be only average - but he didn't know how much this so-called "average" was.

Suddenly, a burst of even more deafening firecrackers crackled non-stop.

At the same time, from all directions, the faint "boom-boom-boom-" bells came at a certain node on time like a tide.

In an instant, the bronze bells in the entire capital, palaces, dignitaries' mansions, and all temples rang together, and the bells of "Boom—boom—boom—" resounded through the night sky of the capital.

——The old year ends and the new year begins.

"The years are long."

"More than every year."

Like a tacit understanding, at zero o'clock, both Jing Yu and Chu Fengqi looked at each other sitting opposite, and the sound of blessing sounded at the same time.

Then, they looked at each other with a heartfelt smile.

Chu Fengqi's "more than every year" is actually related to the "steamed carp" he made.

He touched his earlobe, which was slightly hot, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"So that's what it means?" Jing Yu murmured softly, as if he was talking to Chu Fengqi, or talking to himself, with a dazed expression as if he was half asleep and half awake.

Just when Chu Fengqi felt that something was wrong with Jing Yu, Jing Yu suddenly stared at him without blinking: "A Sheng?"

"Little liar!" Jing Yu said sourly and resentfully, "Will you come back and bring me a gift as agreed?"

Chu Fengqi: "..."

It seems that Jing Yu is drunk.

Even when he is drunk, he still remembers the "gift", which shows how deep Jing Yu's resentment is!

He originally thought that Jing Yu had forgotten about it.

Before leaving the palace, he swore that he would bring a gift to Jing Yu when he came back, but because of Zhu Zhihe's drunken fight in the red building and a series of incidents after that, he forgot about it.Afterwards, I originally wanted to cook the dishes myself as a "gift" to make up for it, but compared with Jing Yu's cooking skills, I was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so I haven't resolved the matter of bringing "gifts" until now.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yu still remembered it all the time, but he didn't say it out.
