The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 513 Unknown Friends and Enemies Hard to Believe (2)
Jiang Chengye has always been a cold and weird man, even if he has a super good looks to resist some unpleasant personalities, he has never said such words so sincerely and plainly as he is now.

Ning Ci felt her heart softened, as if a casual poke could turn into a puddle of water.She stretched out her arms around Jiang Chengye, obviously wanting to say something, but she felt that what she said seemed to mean that. In the end, the two of them just hugged each other until dawn.

With Jiang Chengye's support, Ning Ci felt more confident in the future.But at the same time, there were also some things that she had to pay attention to.

Not to mention Jiang Chengye, at least Ning Ci knew something about the past, regarding the estrangement between the mother and child, Princess Jing and Jiang Chengye, her speculations, even if Princess Jing did not admit it personally, those reactions have already betrayed her.What she felt puzzled was that if Concubine Jing was really afraid that Jiang Chengye, who had become the pillar of the palace, would know the truth one day and would take revenge on them in a hurry. With her temperament, she should naturally seek a way out and a help for herself.

And now she started to take Jiang Chengheng to seek medical treatment with all her heart, and even persuaded Feng Qianwei to heal his leg. Could it be that the way out that the princess was looking for was Jiang Chengheng?
Ning Ci had inquired that since Jiang Chengheng was injured, he had been depressed for a period of time in the mansion.And after Jiang Chengye came back, he became the real prince of the royal family. It stands to reason that Jiang Chengheng, who has no relatives and no reason, should leave, but the princess kept him. Now in the court, because his legs are inconvenient, he just carries a Civil servants without real power.

Ning Ci couldn't help guessing, is Princess Jing really planning to use Jiang Chengheng as her backing?Now that she is trying her best to cure Jiang Chengheng, does she still want to support him to go up?

This is not impossible. After all, before Jiang Chengye came back, Jiang Chengheng was also an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and even accompanied King Ning on the battlefield to fight the enemy bravely. If he hadn't been injured and turned into a cripple, Jiang Chengye suddenly appeared again. It should be him.

Compared to Ning Ci, Jiang Chengye himself doesn't seem to care much about this matter.Now, what he is most focused on every day is to perform acupuncture on Ning Ci's pulse, all he wants is to make her hand truly heal.At other times, he either stayed with her and helped her think of dishes, or stayed with her to see the medical skills, or took her directly to Duanmin Palace to see her son, and played two games of chess with Jiang Xuyang.

The lynx raised in Jiang Xuyang's mansion has grown up a lot, and the children love it very much. With the company of Ji Xiang and the others, Xiao Yu'er lived a very peaceful life and never lost his temper.

But now, even Ji Xiang and Yuan Bao are vying to tell Ning Ci that Xiao Yu'er is already a little chef!
That's not true, the seasonings that never existed in the mansion, Xiao Yu'er can dictate one by one according to the things that Ning Ci used to mix, and let others make it. Although the taste is not as good as Ning Ci's own hands, it should be fragrant. There are more than enough mouths for a whole family.Jiang Xuyang seemed to have discovered a super treasure, and mobilized the whole government to help Xiao Yuer make those strange but first-class seasonings.

Knowing this, Ning Ci was not surprised. Xiao Yuer was brought up by her since she was a child, and she spent countless days in the kitchen with her. He is indeed very smart and has a good memory. Maybe when I grow up, I can really become a capable cook.It's just that in this dynasty, even if it has reached the top of the imperial cuisine, it is afraid that it will not be respected by others.

The days passed day by day like this, and on the 15th day of Ning Cizhi's hand, and also after the [-]th day of peace in Prince Ning's Mansion, she received an invitation from Shen Yuanhui.At that time, Jiang Chengye was helping her sharpen the knife, seeing this invitation, the blade in his hand seemed to be shining with a gloomy light.

According to Ning Ci's knowledge, during the period when she was concentrating on recuperating from her injuries, the selection in the palace had already started, a new group of people would enter the palace every day, and a group of people would have to leave every day.The selection was in full swing, and he invited her to the house, presumably it had something to do with the selection.

Jiang Chengye accompanied Ning Ci to the Shen residence, but what he didn't expect was that not only Shen Yuanhui, but also Shen's father was present.Seeing Ning Ci and Jiang Chengye going, they warmly welcomed them.During the dinner, Shen's father first made a good evaluation of He Ruyi, the cook at Dongqiao, that is, Ning Ci, and even said frankly: "The emperor intends to restore the post of female official, I'm afraid it's for the concubine. You came, my son Yuanhui once went to Dongqiao Town, and when he came back, he was full of praise for the craftsmanship of Shizi Concubine, which surprised me."

Ning Ci smiled slightly: "Mr. Shen is exaggerating."

Father Shen smiled and nodded, just when Ning Ci thought he would say a few words about the progress of this selection, he suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of Dongqiao Town, I also have some old friends who used to be there, but later Listen to me and tell me that the old man has passed away, it is really sad."

Ning Ci's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and she glanced at Jiang Chengye calmly.Jiang Chengye was preparing vegetables for her, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

Father Shen's eyes were sharp, and he saw Ning Ci's small movements at a glance. He smiled as usual, and then he said directly: "Concubine Shizi, it must be about my old friend's daughter Pei Yurong and Yun Xiaochuan's running dog Zheng Ze. , You have cleared it up very well, and Yuan Hui has already told me that at Dongqiao, all the funeral affairs were arranged by the imperial concubine, which allowed them to rest in peace. Shen hereby thank the imperial concubine for her kindness."

Ning Ci put down his wine glass calmly: "Master Shen is serious. Although Ning Ci and Sister Yurong were friends by chance, they never had any intimate conversations, but back then Ning Ci worked in the town to support his family. During this period, I still got a lot of help from Sister Yurong, although Ning Ci doesn't know much about the matter between her and Mr. Zheng, but the past is over, so we can't let their dead souls have no peace after death."

Father Shen gave Ning Ci a deep look, and stopped talking, as if he had fallen into some kind of sadness because of Ning Ci's words.The atmosphere during the banquet suddenly became dull and depressed.Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Yuanhui immediately changed the topic and talked about the current progress of the selection.

"Three days ago, the promotion in various regions started. Because the selection is very strict this time, it is also to prevent what happened three years ago from happening again. The inspections in all aspects are very strict, so the progress is not fast. There are about six days left. If the general representatives of each region can be determined, then it will be a contest between the crown prince and the representatives of the Jiangnan region, and the winner will continue to advance." Shen Yuanhui informed Ning Ci of the progress very politely.

Knowing that Ning Ci's hand hadn't healed yet, Shen Yuanhui said very worriedly: "But I don't know how the Shizi Concubine's hand has recovered? There is a time limit for the selection competition. If the time is delayed because of the hand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accommodate... "

Ning Ci said indifferently: "Thank you Mr. Shen for your concern, one dish can still be made. I just don't know if the representative of the Jiangnan region has been decided, who is it?"
