Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Empress Dowager Mu came here just to deliver ginseng soup, and to persuade the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body and not to overwork. It was really an accident to see Ye Chongjin.

But she also knew in her heart that his son was going to fix the child of the Ye family.

Whether it was a piece of meat that fell out of her own stomach or not, Empress Dowager Mu knew a little about this young emperor.This child has had very few attachments since he was a child, and once he remembers it in his heart, it will be difficult to erase it.

Besides, she doesn't dislike that child from the Ye family either, she even has a liking for it.

People who have lived in the deep palace for a long time will always have a little more affection for clean and harmless children.

Now that she is getting older, she occasionally thinks of the past, her good sister, the concubine Li Lu Wanyan who once doted on the harem and monopolized the sacred heart, she was a pure, clean and good girl, but she died in the end.

She had done many bad things in her life, but this was the first time she had blood on her hands, so she couldn't help but keep it in her heart.

Sometimes, she dreamed of Wanyan, that girl was still the same young girl she used to be, innocent and charming, sometimes she smiled and called her sister with a bright smile, sometimes she cried and asked her why, resentful and sad.

There is no reason, it is all to survive.

But she also felt uneasy, so when she saw the same pure and innocent young master of the Ye family, she couldn't help but soften her heart, as if being kind to him could make up for something.

After the Empress Dowager left, Gu Chen ordered someone to pass on the meal, then turned to ask the boy in his arms, "Can Ah Jin still eat?"

Ye Chongjin nodded.

Gu Chen couldn't help laughing, rubbed his round belly, and said with a light smile, "Ah Jin's stomach is like a bottomless pit, it can't be filled no matter what."

Ye Chongjin gave him a sideways look, and after thinking about it carefully, he did eat too much these days.He innocently asked: "You weighed me, isn't it a lot heavier?"

Gu Chen held him in his arms and weighed him, and couldn't help but smile, it was naturally heavy.Ah Jin is growing his body, seeing his head growing upwards, even if he doesn't grow flesh, can he not grow bones?

He nodded to the boy.

Ye Chongjin's face froze. He always valued his appearance too much, and worried that he would not look good if he was fat.Discuss with the man: "Then, why don't you eat less for dinner?"

Gu Chen laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be better not to eat?"

"..."

Although what he said was reasonable, it was really uncomfortable to be hungry.He rubbed against the man's arms, acting coquettishly like a cat.

Gu Chen stroked his head, his heart softened into a puddle of water, and he said with a smile: "I was just joking with Ah Jin, how could I really be willing to starve you."

While talking, dinner was served.They were all praised by Ye Chongjin, and there were some new dishes.

The man waved back the palace servants who came forward to serve him, and served the boy himself with vegetables. He said, "This Sixi Pearl Duck is newly developed by the Imperial Dining Room. It tastes good. You can try it."

Ye Chongjin opened his mouth and swallowed. The pearl duck is a unique production method that removes all the duck bones and keeps the duck shape intact. For this Sixi pearl duck, the duck belly is first stuffed with marinade and steamed, and then the subsequent cooking, sauce The taste of the duck completely penetrates into the duck meat, the taste is fresh and tender, and the taste is excellent.

Delicious is delicious, Ye Chongjin said: "How did I know Yao Zhen's cooking skills?"

Gu Chen paused, and said with a smile: "Ah Jin's tongue is really precious, yes, I asked the chef of the imperial dining room to go to the Zhenwei Building to learn from a teacher. After studying for a long time, I finally understood a little or two of the essence."

Ye Chongjin clicked his tongue. The chefs in the imperial dining room are all arrogant, so why are they willing to go to apprentice so easily?

Gu Chen seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "They are not as skilled as others, so what can they do?"

After finishing speaking, he put some more vegetables into Ye Chongjin's bowl, and Ye Chongjin used up all of them obediently.

The man said: "Ah Jin is the most obedient when eating, and seems to be responsive to requests."

Ye Chongjin looked up at him with puffed cheeks. There was a drop of sauce on the corner of his lips, and his innocent face gave people the illusion that he could do anything to him.Gu Chen's eyes paused, and he suddenly bent down, clasped the boy's chin, and attached those two shiny pink lips.

The young man grunted, and opened his mouth cooperatively, allowing the man to stir the sweetness in his mouth wantonly.

After the kiss was over, Ye Chongjin pushed him away, took a breath, then lowered his head and continued eating.Gu Chen laughed angrily, and leaned against the back of the chair to look at the greedy cat over there, with a faint light shining in his black eyes.

Anfu.

In the study, An Qiming mentioned the wolf hair, and waved a line of poetry on the rice paper, which was Ye Chonghui's poem.The book boy waited on the pen and ink, and praised: "Master's handwriting looks more and more like Master Ye's Biao."

An Qiming was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "You can imitate the form, but you can't imitate the god, it's useless."

After saying that, he raised his hand and destroyed the painting.

The book boy pursed his lips and said, "Master, I don't understand. Master Hengzhi is certainly talented, but master is not bad either. Why are you so obsessed with him?"

An Qiming said: "Since you don't understand, don't ask more questions."

"Yes."

An Qiming pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bookshelf, turned a jasper pen holder, and with the rotation of the pen holder, the bookshelf slowly moved to the two sides, a downward stone step appeared across the sky, and a faint light of a flickering fire could be seen.

The bookboy carried the boy in the wheelchair down, and the master and servant went out of the secret room, and the secret door behind them slowly closed.

Under the stone steps, it can no longer be called a secret room, but an underground palace. Four luminous pearls the size of longan eyes are distributed on the left and right, reflecting the scene in the hall. Countless gold and silver treasures emit dazzling light. Every flower and tree are jewels and jade. Forged, its value is immeasurable.

This was built by the royal family of the previous dynasty. Except for the kings of the past, only the Patriarch of the An family knew about it. Since the death of Mr. An, it has become a permanent secret.

All the way deep, in the deepest bedroom, there are tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family in full bloom.At the bottom, covered with a red silk, An Qiming raised his hand to lift it, but there were two unnamed plaques.

The book boy had bowed respectfully to the side.

An Qiming said: "Although my father is a noble son, my biological mother is from a lowly background. She has no ambitions for the throne. He was rescued from the palace by Yao Yidao in the fire that day. He has no intention of returning to the country. His body has always been weak. , It is already a luxury to live to adulthood, how can I have such great ambitions."

"However, the Gu family chased and killed them all, day after day, year after year. Since I was born, I only remember that I was shrouded in fear of death every day. No matter where we fled, the imperial court The pursuers will arrive soon, but during one escape, the shaft of the chariot was cut off, and I fell from the chariot, and I have been disabled ever since.”

The book boy bowed his head and did not respond, he was very clear that the person the master really wanted to tell was not here.

An Qiming slowly lit a stick of incense and gently fanned the sparks. His black and white eyes showed a daunting and strong hatred.

"Later, my mother was happy again. After running away several times, she faintly appeared to have a slippery tire. My father finally made a decision and ordered Yao Yidao to send us back to the capital, and he alone led the court to chase us away. In fact, at that time He already knew that his life was not long, and his mother left immediately after giving birth."

"Father has been kind to others all his life, but he has always been persecuted by traitors. The way of heaven is not fair. Why should I be kind? The country hates the family feud, and it is impossible to share the sky. Emperor Taizong died, and his son, his son died, and His grandson, I want the Gu family to pay with blood for generations to come!"

An Qiming picked up the red silk and carefully wiped the dust on the spiritual tablet, only a dull look remained in his eyes.

"Father, mother, you two rest in peace. Yan'er is doing well. My son will take good care of him. My son will make Yan'er the most free-wheeling person in the world."

In a blink of an eye, the full moon wine for the third and fourth child of the Ye family was ushered in.

It was rare for Ye Xiang's family to hold a banquet, and no one in Beijing would show face, from the emperor to the officials, they all gave heavy gifts.

The two little dolls were born the same, and wore the same rabbit fleece jackets. They lay in the cradle and blinked, making it impossible to tell who was who. They were just silver bracelets on their wrists, one on the left hand and the other on the right hand.

The old lady of the An family saw her two grandchildren for the first time, and she liked them so much that she couldn't bear to take her eyes off, so Anshi advised her to stay for a few days. The old lady originally didn't want to, but seeing the two grandchildren He giggled at her, and as soon as his heart softened, he agreed.

An Lingwei pinched the little baby's chubby hands and said with a smile, "What a pair of golden and jade boys."

Even An Qipan, who has always been bad at words and can't say good things, rarely said: "It's so cute, when I was a child with Ah Jin..."

Ye Chongjin raised his eyebrows and asked, "How was it when I was a child?"

An Qipan originally wanted to say that he was somewhat similar to him when he was a child, but wouldn't he be praising Ye Chongjin by saying this?He and the eldest and second child of the Ye family have never dealt with each other since they were young, so he absolutely couldn't say such words.

He said: "It's so different from when you were a child, it's not like at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, his mother gave him a crutch and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense, your cousin Ajin has been as beautiful as a fairy boy since he was a child."

An Qipan naturally knew it in his heart, but it was absolutely impossible to make him subdue.

This man is blind, so Ye Chongjin naturally wouldn't argue with him, and bent down to tease his younger brother.Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at An Qiming, who was sitting at the side, holding an orchid and jade tree, but his eyes were calm, unlike people of this age.

He asked: "Speaking of which, I have never known how old cousin Qiming is this year."

An Qiming's expression was calm, but the expressions of Ye Chongjin's second uncle and second aunt changed slightly.

His second uncle, An Chenglei, replied: "Qiming is four years younger than Qipan, and he is eighteen this year. This kid has always been introverted and calm, and he looks very mature."

Ye Chongjin smiled and said, "No wonder, seeing my cousin's appearance, he seems to be about the same age as my brother."

His elder brother was born at the beginning of the new year, and he has reached the crown after the new year, which is exactly the twentieth year.

Ye Chonghui was originally sitting in a corner drinking tea, when he heard Ah Jin mentioning him, he raised his eyes.

Sensing his gaze, An Qiming showed a gentle smile, his expression became lively, and he looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

An Chenglei and his wife heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Ye Chongjin looked at his legs and suddenly remembered that he had never seen this cousin since he was a child.Because his second uncle has been hiding him in the house, even An Qipan and An Lingwei who grew up with him have actually never seen him a few times.

This is a bit intriguing.No matter how afraid a person is of seeing people, no matter how low his sense of existence is, it is impossible for him not to see his relatives all year round.Unless the elders in the family do not allow it, deliberately prevent them from meeting each other.

Could it be Mr. An?

Ye Chongjin recalled that she had heard from Nanny An that the An family's eldest family and the second room had been fighting over the family property these years. The second room had no children at first, and was very anxious. The second aunt even went to the village in the countryside for several years to recuperate before she gave birth. a boy.

The old man was very happy and went to pick them up in the village himself. The child was An Qiming, who was handicapped from birth.
