clang!
Gold and iron clashed, sparks shot out, the gray-haired old woman took a few steps back, stabilized her figure, looked at the figure in front of her, and said with a smile: "Old, old, it seems that in the future, I can't I will fight with the princess again."
Li Mingzhu put away her sword, shook her head and said, "Nurse don't let me."
The old woman shook her head with a smile, and said: "His Royal Highness is talented and hard-working, and has made rapid progress in the country. The old lady is really no match for the princess."
The old woman could not help but feel a burst of embarrassment when she looked at the woman who had grown up in front of her.
Ten years passed by in a flash. The little princess who gritted her teeth and could only use non-standard moves was now able to take charge of her own side, and even she was no longer an opponent.
"Princess, princess, the white fungus and lotus seed soup has been robbed!" The little palace maid trotted all the way over, panting.
"Speak slowly, what's going on." Li Mingzhu walked over and said softly.
"Just now, I went to Shangshi Bureau to get tremella and lotus seed soup, but when I went there, the princess's soup had already been drunk." The little maid said angrily, clutching her chest.
"Who did it?" the old woman came up and asked.
Intrigues in the harem, such things are not uncommon, but the concubine and the concubine compete with each other, but the princess is never involved. This is the first time this kind of thing has happened.
The little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know his identity, but he said that it is the princess who repaid his favor for the bowl of fried rice with eggs."
"Egg fried rice?" Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."
The little palace maid nodded, and when she watched the princess leave the palace gate and walked towards the Shangshi Bureau, a smile appeared on her face. That rude guy will definitely suffer.
…
…
"It's so bitter." After biting a lotus seed, Li Yi frowned. The cooks in the palace would not be careful when doing things. It was obvious that he forgot to remove the core from the lotus seed he had just swallowed.
"Why are you here?" A voice came from behind, Li Yi turned his head, raised the bowl in his hand and gestured to her, "Would you like a bowl, I invite you."
The eunuchs in the courtyard immediately hid away, and seemed to understand why His Majesty treated this Li County son differently.
There are many viscounts in Kyoto, and this is the only one who dares to talk to the princess like this.
"I only found out about Father's decision yesterday. I planned to tell you in advance, but Father sent someone to deliver the decree last night. Thinking about it, it doesn't make any difference." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "The matter of Shangshi Bureau, I'll go talk to my father, don't take it to heart when Shouning is messing around."
"Forget it." Li Yi waved his hand, in fact, this way, he felt more relaxed.
Cooking a few dishes and making a hot pot is better than doing other errands. Compared with the three provinces and six ministries, or the front line of the army, Li Yi thinks this is more suitable for him, at least—from Shangshi Bureau Soup is better.
Seeing him concentrating on drinking the soup, Li Mingzhu felt relieved. He thought that he would be dissatisfied because he was forced to stay in the capital by his father, but now it seems that he does not seem to be very resistant to this.
For some reason, after drinking two bowls of soup, not only was I not full, but I felt even hungrier.
"I'm going to get some fried rice with eggs, do you want it?" Li Yi got up and patted his butt, looking at Li Mingzhu and asked.
Her Royal Highness nodded, expressing her great agreement with Li Yi's proposal.
She hasn't eaten fried rice with eggs for a long time.
The head of the Shangshi Bureau watched in amazement that the lord used white rice and eggs, and quickly made two plates of fragrant meals. He was eating outside with His Royal Highness, and he began to worry about his position as the head of the family. .
"It's a pity that there is no wine." Eating fried rice with eggs, Her Royal Highness had a regretful expression.
Throughout the ages, Li Yi has known such a person who serves wine with fried rice with eggs.
"Is there any wine in the palace?" Li Yi asked back, and then realized that she should be talking about the spirits from Ruyifang.
There may be no shortage of good wine in the palace, but when it comes to the degree, according to the current technology, it can't reach the level of distilling and purifying alcohol.
Speaking of spirits, Li Yicai realized that in today's world, the only spirits production workshop is in Qing'an Prefecture. Although there are other places, they also flow out of Qing'an Prefecture, and the price is naturally much more expensive.
The capital city is obviously such an undeveloped treasure land. If there are a few spirits workshops here, it will undoubtedly be built on Jinshan.
Besides, the distance between the capital city and Qing'an Mansion is so far away, and they won't affect each other's business. Not only that, Ruyi dew, perfume, soap, these things can all be regarded as a way to make a fortune. There are more local tyrants in the capital city than in Qing'an Mansion. Can't afford to feed a family
To do business in such a place, the first thing to do is not to set up a shop or build a workshop, but to hug your thighs.
The capital city is no better than Qing'an Mansion. There are powerful people everywhere. What is a small viscount? Even if there are not a hundred people in the capital city, there are eighty of them. If someone suffers from pink eye disease, Li Yi can't stand it.
Li Yi looked at his thigh—looking at Her Royal Highness, and said, "How about we partner in the spirits business in the capital? Then, you can drink whenever you want, and drink as much as you want."
Regarding Li Yi's proposal, Her Royal Highness agreed without thinking long.
One reason is that she really likes that kind of spirits, but it can only be bought in Qing'an Mansion, but it is very rare in the capital.
Secondly, she also knows that this business is so profitable that even she can't ignore it, but the capital is so deep that it's impossible for Li Yi alone to make it bigger, and being able to establish a relationship with the royal family can relieve this worry.
Whether it's public or private, she will not fail to help with this favor.
"Whatever you need, just say it." When she was full of food and drink, when she left, Her Highness the Princess dropped a word lightly.
Li Yi likes her straightforward attitude. She doesn't say a word, and she doesn't even talk about the distribution of benefits. She is definitely someone who can be assured of long-term cooperation.
As for the specific matters of the cooperation, there is no rush right now, we will talk about it after Ruyi and Xiaohuan come over and they have settled down completely.
In other words, the emperor only gave him a noble uniform, a badge to prove his identity, a fief, a maid, a servant, a mansion - aren't these all standard equipment, why have they never been mentioned
"Hey, little princess, why are you here? Where are those maids?" His thoughts were interrupted by the palm. Li Yi turned his head and found a girl about six or seven years old in palace clothes standing in the yard .
The clothes on the little girl were obviously unusual, and she was holding a doll in her arms. She had a baby face, and the expression on her face was a little numb. Her eyes were big, clear and bright, but she had no expression, she didn't speak, and her eyes were staring straight. Look into the room.
"Little princess, it's not meal time yet. Just order what you want to eat, and I will send someone to deliver it to you." His Majesty is still very strict with these little princesses and princes, and even has rules for meals. At that time, Zhang Tan did not dare to break the rules.
Hearing Zhang Tan's words, the little girl also turned around without saying a word, and walked outside with the puppet in her arms.
