The nine princesses of the East Palace

Li Chengyin leaned on the window sill, looked at me, and said solemnly: "You drink with me, it really won't be bitter."

"Nonsense." Only a fool would believe his nonsense.

"You don't believe it?" He leaned closer, his bright black eyes seemed to be able to confuse people.

I was silent.

He stretched out his hand to pick up a bowl of medicine from the tray, and without frowning, he drank it in one gulp, which was more efficient than drinking wine or water.

"Not only is it not bitter at all, but it also has a sweet taste. If you don't believe me, try it?" he said.

I looked at him suspiciously, the expression on his face was extremely comfortable, as if the bowl of medicine was really a delicacy.

"Is it really sweet?" I asked.

"Well, it's sweet." He smiled, put back the empty bowl in his hand, immediately picked up another bowl of medicine, and handed it to my mouth.

The bowl of medicine was still steaming, and a smell of medicine entered my nose. I quickly pinched my nose, "You're lying, it's still the same smell."

"No, this is really sweet." He said.

I said, "I'm not stupid. I have a nose and I can smell it myself."

He finally stopped emphasizing sweetness and bitterness, but said: "I drank the medicine, but you don't want to drink it. When my cold is cured, but yours is not cured, you will give me the sickness." .”

I was a little speechless, and after a while I said: "Then I won't see you, I'll see you when I recover from the cold, then I won't let you get sick."

I think my method is simply wonderful, hello him, hello me, hello everyone.

But before my words fell, his expression turned ugly, and he said fiercely: "If you don't drink anymore, I'll feed it myself..."

He... what did he say?feed me?So many people are watching!I also want to save face!I was really frightened, so I hurriedly said, "No...no need, I will do it myself."

After I said that, I took the bowl in his hand, and drank the black medicine in one go... But I regretted it as soon as I finished drinking it, it was so bitter, my mouth was full of the smell of medicine.

I was pitifully imagining Yong Niang asking for help, Li Cheng Yin stuffed something into my mouth, his fingertips were slightly cold, when they touched my lips, I couldn't help trembling, belatedly Only then did I realize that there was an extra candied fruit in my mouth, it was sweet, and the bitterness of the medicine dissipated quickly.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, this bowl of medicine is sweet." Li Cheng Yin looked at me and said with a smile.

I didn't speak, just looked at him, and there was a throbbing in my heart.

He suddenly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and slowly approached it, I saw Yong Niang and Shi En were both there, and they both looked at us with smiles, I couldn't help but my face burned, and I pulled the handkerchief from Li Cheng Yin's hand The handkerchief said: "I will do it myself."

I hurriedly wiped the corners of my mouth, and passed the handkerchief after I finished. Halfway through the handkerchief, I felt that it was wrong, so I took it back, "I'll wash it and give it to you."

"It's up to you." Li Cheng Yin stood up, "Okay, I have other things to do, I'll go to work first." He said and reached out to touch the top of my hair before walking away.

After taking the medicine together this time, he seemed to be thinking about it, and came to supervise me to take the medicine as soon as the time came.This situation lasted for four days, and my cold was finally cured, so I didn't need to take medicine anymore, otherwise, even with candied fruit, I couldn't resist the bitter taste in my mouth.

However, although the wind and chill are gone, another thing is giving me a headache, that is Li Chengyin's birthday present.

Today is Li Chengyin's birthday, I've been thinking about it for several days, but I haven't figured out what to give him, but I'm so worried.He has been asking me a lot in the past few days, wanting to know what I will give him. I don't know what to give, so I have to keep it secret.

The crown prince’s birthday is a big event, and all civil and military officials will come to celebrate it. Yong Niang helped me organize the birthday banquet. This is the first time I have organized such a big banquet. indefinite.

Before the birthday banquet started, the empress dowager and the emperor came to the East Palace, and they all gave Li Chengyin birthday presents, and they were all valuable things.

When it's my turn, my father-in-law will read out my presents aloud. Although I have a lot of valuable things, they are all women's hairpins and hairpins, so I can't give them to him. A quarter of an hour before the birthday party starts Enduring the pain, he collected a hundred ingots of gold and prepared to give it to him.

When Li Cheng Yin heard that I gave him a hundred ingots of gold, the corners of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and it was impossible to tell whether he liked it or disliked it.But he immediately said: "The gift from the princess is very much in my heart. It just so happens that I have also prepared a gift in return, Shi En, bring it up."

Shi En brought up the return gift, and after Yong Niang took it, I opened it curiously and looked at it, it seemed to be a set of riding clothes.Didn't he give a set last time?Why send another set?

Yong Niang also took a look at the clothes, and said to me in a low voice: "Crown Princess, it is made by the palace of Liuli Pavilion."

I like riding clothes, whether it is a court custom or not, it doesn't matter to me.However, Li Chengyin still remembers my size, so his memory is pretty good.

When Yong Niang was talking, Li Chengyin looked over, and as soon as I looked over, he withdrew his gaze, and also put away the faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

So, does he like the gift I gave him or not?Oh, I can't figure it out, I'll just ask him later.

By the time we are all free, half of the time has passed.

I went back to Cheng'en Hall, took a hot bath, and finally felt much more comfortable.I wrapped up a thick cloak and was about to find Li Chengyin, he came over.

There was a familiar fragrance on his body, and he had probably already bathed.I thought he was just coming to sleep, but I found that he still had a jug of wine in his hand.

"What kind of wine is this?" My eyes lit up.Although I am not as good at drinking as my cousins, but compared to the girls in the Central Plains, I am really much better.

"Osmanthus wine." Li Chengyin said, "Today is my birthday, do you want to have a few cups together?"

"Okay." I happily replied.Drinking or something is my favorite.After coming to the Central Plains, Yong Niang always stared at me and refused to let me drink, fearing that I would cause trouble if I drank, my wine quality is not that bad.

Li Chengyin took out two wine cups from his pocket as if conjuring, poured two glasses of wine, I consciously picked up one of them and drank it, the wine cup was too small, I drank it all in one gulp, it wasn't satisfying at all.

However, this sweet-scented osmanthus brew is really fragrant. It is a particularly intoxicating fragrance. Like a little alcoholic, I drank several cups in a row and still felt that it was not enough.

Li Chengyin said: "Don't drink anymore, you'll get drunk if you drink any more."

I said, "You're just drunk. I'm sober." I'm really sober.

"Really?" Li Chengyin was noncommittal, "Then tell me why you gave me gold."

Without even thinking about it, I said, "Isn't the gift meant to be the most precious thing? Those gold are my most precious things, and I can't bear to part with them."

Li Chengyin didn't speak, just looked at me.

"Don't you like it?" I said, "If you don't like it, return it to me, and I'll give you another one."

"Who said I don't like it anymore? I like it." Li Chengyin said.

I couldn't see the liking from his expression at all.

He added: "Because I like it so much, I decided to give you another gift in return."

"What return gift?" I looked at him with bright eyes.

"I……"

"What are you?"

"A hundred ingots of gold, there is no repayment, only a promise with your body."

Xu... Xu what?I realized it belatedly, and immediately blushed, "Can I not?"

"No," he said.

"Well, buying and selling by force is unacceptable." I stammered.

He said: "It's not forced, I voluntarily..."

But I'm not...

Before I could protest, he bowed his head and kissed me, probably because he was too drunk, or because the moonlight was too beautiful to illuminate him. I changed my original intention after a while, and my lust became aroused. In short, I threw him down violently.
