Chapter 282 Don't forget the prince, that poem was named by your father
Chapter 282 Prince, please don’t forget that the title of that poem was given by your father (please vote)
Seeing her slightly apologetic smile, Cheng Chubi sniffed, quickly took the fur coat, thanked her, and quickly put it on.
"You're welcome, Third Brother Cheng." Wu Mei blinked, smiled playfully and disappeared behind the thick curtain.
Cheng Chubi wrapped himself tightly in his thick fur coat to protect himself from the biting wind in this cold winter.
I felt the warmth of my body and mind, but something was wrong. It was obviously my own clothes, so why should I express my gratitude to her?
Well, this can only show that I am a good man with a very gentlemanly demeanor. Cheng Chubi sniffed his nose and comforted himself.
Almost half an hour later, when Cheng Chubi felt that his whole body was about to go numb, Li Chengqian finally left the Manna Hall.
Only this time, the shoulder cart with a covering on it was used to protect Li Chengqian, the frail and sick Paigu Jing.
Cheng Chubi sniffed his nose and continued to play his loyal role. Braving the wind and snow, he accompanied the prince back to the East Palace.
In Li Zheng Hall, Li Chengqian took a sip of steaming tea soup, specially adding extra ginger slices to the tea soup.
It was as if a warm current began to spread to his limbs. Only then did Li Chengqian look at Cheng Chubi, who was also drinking tea.
"Brother Chu Bi, we were just in Ganlu Hall..."
After Wu Mei's explanation, Cheng Chubi felt relieved a lot and smiled candidly.
"I just stated my speculation, and whether it is your majesty or the empress, as your parents, they must also be thinking about you."
Li Chengqian was relieved when he saw Cheng Chubi like this. After all, this was the first friend he had made in his life.
He really didn't want to have any misunderstanding with Cheng Sanlang.
"Thank you for your understanding, brother. Then I will have tea instead of wine. Thank you very much, brother." Li Chengqian cheered and raised his glass.
After touching the tea bowls, the two looked at each other and smiled after taking a sip, and the atmosphere seemed to relax a lot.
Cheng Chubi no longer dwelled on Li Chengqian's leg injury, but asked about the prince who was about to get married.
Only then did he know that the martial arts Su family he married was the eldest daughter of Qizhou governor Su Dan, and they had met several times before.
My impression of this wife can't be said to be good, but it's not bad either.
After all, he is the prince, and it is natural that he cannot fall in love alone when it comes to marriage.
"My mother said that Mrs. Su is a very gentle and virtuous person. I think I would like such a woman..."
"It's a pity that my foot was injured. Even if it recovers during this period, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to leave the palace with Brother Chu Bi."
Cheng Chubi nodded in agreement. "That's natural. After all, the wedding is about to take place, so how can Your Highness still have time."
"I thought that...that poem about chrysanthemums with a long title was my proud work in my life."
"I didn't expect that your other farewell poem would make my little brother resentful..."
Looking at Li Chengqian's resentful eyes, Cheng Chubi felt his scalp numb and quickly changed the subject.
"Your Highness, please don't forget that the poem is called "Ode to Chrysanthemums for the Double Ninth Festival Banquet in Liangyi Hall, on the eighth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of Zhenguan in Chang'an", and it was given to you by your father."
"..." Li Chengqian opened his mouth and closed it after a long time, with a strange expression. "Thank you for reminding me, brother, I will definitely remember it."
It’s really unbelievable that the title of the poem, which is smelly and long like an old lady’s footcloth, comes from the mouth of my father.
Seeing the messy look on His Highness the Crown Prince's face, Cheng Chubi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Having said that, I don't know where Brother Niu has gone...

After returning to Cheng Mansion, as soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, I saw a black bear spirit with a unique shape pop out.
The moment Cheng Chubi subconsciously wanted to kick him over, he heard Cheng Laoliu's exaggerated howling sound coming from the mouth of the black bear spirit with a pair of dead fish eyes.
"Cheng Laoliu!" Cheng Chubi had a dark look on his face, stretched out his hand, lifted up the bearskin head, and rode on Cheng Laosi's back. Cheng Laoliu, who was showing his teeth and claws, was trembling in fright.
"Third brother, how did you find out?" Lao Si, who was struggling to carry Cheng Laoliu, asked curiously.
"You three, can you calm down for a while?"
Cheng Chubi glanced at Cheng Liang and Cheng Guang, who followed him into the Cheng Mansion and almost suffered internal injuries from laughing, and shouted angrily.
"Such a big bear barks like a little kitten. Your third brother, I'm not deaf."
"Sure enough, I just said, I should be the one to call." Cheng Laowu, who was squatting in the back and pretending to be a bear, complained unhappily.
"Yes, listen to Lao Wu." Cheng Chubi heard the sound of hooves coming from behind him.
He rubbed Cheng Laoliu's face, which was red from the cold but still full of energy, affectionately. "Come on, try to scare the eldest brother and the second brother."
"Okay!" The Cheng family members hurriedly wrapped up the bear skin stolen from the front hall, disguised themselves as a weird black bear, and retracted behind the door again.
Cheng Chubi walked quickly and rushed into the front hall, then turned back and prepared to enjoy the show.
Sure enough, the eldest brother and the second brother came hand in hand, and the black bear spirits played by three naughty children popped out again.
But this time, due to the instability of the lower body, the howling turned into screams as soon as they came out, and the three naughty children rolled to the ground.
The eldest brother and the second brother were stunned for a long time, pointing at the three naughty children until they fell down laughing, laughing and laughing endlessly.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a few words of ridicule before they felt a heavy blow to their buttocks. The two brothers rolled forward and crawled all the way forward, almost falling and chewing the mud.
"You bastard, you didn't know how to help your brother when you saw how he fell."
The big devil of the Cheng family scolded them a few times in angrily, and then kindly helped the three grunting children up.
Fortunately, the children in Lao Cheng's family were all healthy, and even though they were grinning and moaning in pain, none of them cried.
In order to punish these three little bastards, they stole and played with the bear skin that their father had hung in the front hall as a symbol of his great achievements.
At the same time, I also want to commend the children for their courageous spirit of not being afraid of pain. The kind father slapped each of the three little bastards a few times on the buttocks.
Then he asked Cheng Fu to give the three boys a few more sheep bones so that they could grind their teeth to satisfy their cravings.

Unlike the palace burning bamboo charcoal in a copper furnace, the heating method of Lao Cheng's family is a bit special. It is a huge iron basin with charcoal piled inside.
There was never any need to break it up. The large pieces of charcoal were all thrown in whole. There were racks set up around them to roast chickens and rabbits.
Shengsheng transformed the cozy way of keeping warm in winter into a replica of the Juyi Hall having a celebration banquet.
Cheng Chubi was deeply shocked by the old Cheng family's winter heating mode. He instantly felt that the unique carbon-copper stoves and thin bamboo charcoal in the palace were so unique.
Compared with the old Cheng's large iron basin and substantial charcoal blocks, they are really two completely different heating styles.
One is a delicate and gentle literati elegance, and the other is a bold and domineering warrior style.
"Third brother, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Daddy is asking you something." After Cheng Yaojin took a sip of the secret Sanle pulp, he saw that the third boy was still a little dazed and asked unhappily.
"Ah, Dad, what are you asking the child for?" Cheng Chubi smiled sheepishly.
It seems that the ability to observe is too detailed and likes to analyze the inner parts of things. It is also not good to be too rigorous in the understanding of lifestyle, and it is easy to make mistakes.
"Aren't you going to pick up the prince back to Chang'an today? How about that?" Cheng Yaojin picked up a chicken leg, stuffed it into his mouth, and pulled...
He casually threw the chicken bone aside, which was as clean as if it had been washed repeatedly with dilute hydrochloric acid.
