Ji Chengfeng was transferred from Jiangnan for less than two years and his foundation was very shallow.

He was also too upright. Both the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince tried to win over him before, but they all ended in failure.

This time they were called by Taifu Lu and the others. In fact, those few people were a little bit drummed and did not directly explain that they wanted to stand in line and go to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Ji Chengfeng's attitude was naturally very ambiguous.

Chai Kang understood, this could be considered a centrist free man?

For this reason, he was not too disgusted with Ji Chengfeng.

Chai Kang cupped his hands and said, "Ji Shangshu, is there anything else you can do?"

Ji Chengfeng wanted to raise his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Get on the carriage and chat?"

"it is good."

Speaking of which, the two mansions were not too far apart, so they were on the same road. However, after Chai Kang got on the carriage, he told the driver: "Stop when you get to the place where Chen Ji is speculating."

"Yes."

Ji Chengfeng didn't say anything else. He just chatted with Chai Kang, talking about some things about his hometown. He also said that the weather in the capital was much colder than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know how cold it would be this winter.

Chai Kang knew that Ji Chengfeng was testing him and wanted to ask what he thought of the Crown Prince. Several times the conversation led to that, but he interrupted and changed the topic to other places.

The two of them 'played Tai Chi' very elegantly.

As they were talking, they arrived at Chenji Roasted Seeds. Chai Kang handed over his hand and said sorry, then went down and queued up in person to buy sugar-fried chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes for his wife.

Ji Chengfeng raised his head and looked at Chen Ji's sign. He also got off the carriage, bought a portion of fried chestnuts with sugar, said goodbye to Chai Kang, turned around and returned to his carriage.

Chai Kang nodded and watched him go away, but he was thinking in his heart, could it be that Ji Chengfeng also wanted to be neutral this time and wanted to get a taste of her? How should he make a decision?

He shook his head helplessly.

It's not that he didn't tell Ji Chengfeng how to do it, it was actually that his situation was a bit special.

Before his death, his father left a message, asking him to accept all arrangements made by His Majesty the Emperor.

He also said that as long as you do not participate in rebellion, the emperor can ensure that their family will be worry-free for generations to come.

Chai Kang thought a little melancholy in his heart, Dad, you didn't tell me, what should I do if something unexpected happens midway and the emperor gets off the throne early?

No, in fact, I also said that the letter can only be opened at a critical moment...

When Ji Chengfeng returned to the mansion, he immediately went through the secret passage to the secret room of the Governor's Mansion, and truthfully reported to the banquet everything about today's meeting between Taifu Lu and everyone.

The banquet speech was silent for a long time. Ji Chengfeng was a little nervous. He thought he had missed something important.

As a result, the next moment, he heard the banquet speech and suddenly asked: "Did you buy sugar-roasted chestnuts for this governor?"

"what?"

"I heard that Huanwan likes to eat chestnuts roasted with sugar, but I don't know if pregnant women can eat them."

Ji Chengfeng handed the roasted chestnuts to the banquet in a daze, and suddenly remembered the origin of this thing, so he talked about Chai Kang.

Yan Ci's slender fingers peeled open a plump chestnut with a gentle push.

He put it in his mouth and tasted it, "It's quite sweet."

"Captain?"

"Those old guys, if they want to pick up the prince, let them do it. As for Chai Kang, for so many years, he has been able to protect himself wisely when the two princes competed for the throne. If nothing else, this time the prince When he comes back, the court will have to fight bloody battles again to take his position. If he doesn't take his position... there will be a big problem."

Ji Chengfeng immediately said: "Don't worry, the Governor's Mansion, my subordinates will keep an eye on him!"

"Well, when Taifu Lu and those people ask you for your opinion, don't rush to express your opinion. It's best for you to stand in a united front with Chai Kang. I always feel that this Chai Kang has always been neutral. In addition to being wise and protecting himself, he should also There are other reasons.”

"My subordinates understand that they have just been transferred from Jiangnan and have not a deep foundation. It is understandable that they do not take sides, and they will not think too much about it."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back." Yan Ci took the bag of chestnuts and slowly walked out of the secret room, left the study, and came to the backyard.

After dinner, because it was cold outside, Lin Wanyi walked around the house with her belly full.

As she walked around, she asked Aunt Luo Qing beside her, "I always feel that there are some ways that Wanying's character cannot be used."

Luo Qing said: "Madam, you don't need to worry too much. The method and method naturally vary from person to person, but this inner house manual has it all clearly stated. I believe that Mrs. Gu will definitely choose a method that suits her. "

"Actually, Wanying is happy. She doesn't have to honor her aunt who is difficult to get along with." After Lin Wanyi finished speaking, she realized that this was indeed the case for herself.

There is no need to say anything about the banquet speech.

Nowadays, the elders in her family are all kind-hearted. Well, her direct grandmother who lives far away in Rongcheng is a little unhappy with her.

But Lin Wanyi heard that her direct grandmother was very kind to Qi Mingyue.

She wrinkled her nose, "I thought she didn't like anyone."

Luo Qingdao: "The grandmother of Mingyue County Lord is the eldest princess. She is the most respected eldest sister of the late emperor. She is loved by thousands of people. After all, Princess Li is also the great-aunt of Mingyue County Lord, so naturally she is closer to her. Thicker.”

"She is just close to the Xiao family." Lin Wanyi really couldn't understand what her direct grandmother was thinking in her mind.

She cared so much about the Xiao family, but didn't the Xiao family also sacrifice her and then go to tie up the Rongcheng Palace?

Being treated as a tool, she still cares deeply for her mother's family. In this regard, she is really not as good as the sister-in-law of the Lin family.

Lin Wanyi suddenly thought that the banquet speech was also from the Xiao family.

What would my grandmother think if she knew the identity of Yan Ci?

Just as he was thinking about the banquet speech, the curtain opened and the banquet speech stepped in.

He also held a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand.

Lin Wanyi's eyes lit up, "Where did you buy sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

Speaking of which, she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Yanci said: "This is the one Chai Kang often buys for his wife. They say that Chen Ji's candied roasted chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes are both good. But...can you eat candied roasted chestnuts now?"

Luo Qing, who was next to him, said quickly: "Captain, Madam, you can't eat too much, and it's so late now, so it's not suitable to eat. If you really want to eat, you can eat a few tomorrow."

In fact, Lin Wanyi also knew it, but sometimes, she was so inexplicably greedy that she couldn't control it.

So she just looked at the sugar-roasted chestnuts helplessly.

Yan Ci was very reluctant to see her look like this. He said, "Well, I'll pick the biggest one and peel it for you to eat. If you still want to eat it, I'll order someone to buy something hot and bring it back to you tomorrow." "

Although not very satisfied, Lin Wanyi still nodded.

With just a gentle squeeze of Yan Ci's slender fingers, the chestnut separated from the shell, revealing the fragrant flesh.

Lin Wanyi wanted to reach out and take it, but the sweet and soft pulp was put into her mouth.

The slightly cool fingertips touched the soft red lips.
