When Li Chen saw Su Jinpa holding a small bowl and drinking sweet potato porridge with gusto, he smiled and said: "If you don't want to eat the pile of delicacies in front of me, you have to squeeze in with me in the small side hall to drink porridge."
“What’s so delicious about delicacies from the mountains and sea?”
Su Jinpa wrinkled his nose and said: "Those things are very greasy. I don't like them. No matter how you look at them, they are not as refreshing and pleasant as this bowl of sweet potato porridge. When you eat them, you won't feel greasy and disgusting, but rather warm."
It warms my heart and makes me feel comfortable.”
As he spoke, Su Jinpa tilted his head and counterattacked Li Chen: "Your Highness is not eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas. You are drinking sweet potato porridge here."
"Hmm."
Li Chen said angrily: "I say one thing to you, and you say three words to me. Is that right?"
Su Jinpao pursed her lips and smiled: "You made a mistake, so of course you will be beaten."
The two were drinking porridge and talking when Ogawazi came back to report.
"Your Highness, your Majesty, all the wealthy businessmen attending the banquet tonight have arrived outside Taishan Pavilion."
Li Chen nodded and said, "I understand, is there anything else unusual?"
Xiaochuanzi took out four sparkling silver ingots from his arms and told everything about the bribery he had just received in the post house.
After hearing this, Li Chen laughed, glanced at Xiaochuanzi, and said: "Everyone in the government and the public, inside and outside the palace, is willing to do something for their own benefit, overtly or covertly. That's called human nature. You don't even understand this?"
Ogawazi replied seriously: "I don't understand this. I only know how to listen to His Highness and do His Highness's business."
Li Chen asked again with a smile: "But you are so ignorant of the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to move forward in the future. No one likes people who don't get along with others. You don't accept the benefits, but you embarrass others in public. If this spreads out, will you know?
Isolated."
Ogawazi replied without hesitation: "This servant only knows how to do everything His Highness orders. As for whether you are gregarious or not, it doesn't matter if you don't keep company with him."
Hearing this, Li Chen took two mouthfuls of sweet potato porridge. When he felt full, he put down his chopsticks and said, "You haven't eaten yet. Go to the dining room to get two bowls of sweet potato porridge to drink. I gave it to you."
The value of the billions of sweet potato porridge is definitely less than one percent of the four silver ingots, but Xiaochuanzi felt like he had found a treasure and kowtowed with joy: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
Xiaochuanzi left happily. Li Chen turned back to Su Jinpa and asked, "How was it?"
"Okay."
Su Jinpa tilted his head and said: "It's just one or two things, I can't see anything yet. Although it seems to be usable at the moment, Lu Yaozhi's power will gain people's support over time, and it will take time to verify it."
"She is indeed my wife. She is in tune with me and thinks exactly the same as me." Li Chen praised.
"Who has a connection with you!"
Su Jinpa was embarrassed and stood up while holding up the hem of her skirt and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. I'm too lazy to talk to you, the ungrateful libertine at this moment."
At this time, in the front hall, Nangong Shouzhong walked through the heavily guarded East Palace, and came to Taishan Pavilion fearfully under the bright eyes of the surrounding imperial guards.
Frankly speaking, the decoration of the East Palace is not very luxurious. More than half of them can build a palace more luxurious than the East Palace at any time, but the magnanimity of the East Palace and the heavy historical accumulation are breathtaking.
, but they can’t accumulate it no matter how much money they spend.
Just walking here, you can feel the heavy power and majesty everywhere around you. No one dares to make mistakes here.
