Gold and iron mingled, and 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, old, it seems that I can't do it in the future.
Are you going to fight with the princess again?"
Li Mingzhu put away her sword, shook her head and said, "Mom, you don't have to let me do it."
The old woman smiled and shook her head, and said: "Her Royal Highness is very talented, and she practices diligently. She has made rapid progress in the country. The old woman is really no match for the princess."
The old woman looked at the tall and mature woman in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
Ten years have passed by in a flash. The little princess who gritted her teeth and could only use non-standard moves is now able to stand on her own, and is no longer even her opponent.
"Princess, princess, the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup was robbed!" The little palace maid ran over, panting.
"Speak slowly, what's going on." Li Mingzhu walked over and said softly.
"Just now, I went to the Shangshi Bureau to get the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup, but when I passed by, the princess's soup had already been drunk." The little palace maid covered her chest and said angrily.
"Who did it?" the old woman came over and asked.
Intrigues in the harem are not uncommon, but the fight between concubines and concubines never involves the princess. This is the first time that such a thing has happened.
The little palace maid shook her head and said: "I don't know his identity, but he said that he would treat it as a princess repaying his favor for the bowl of egg fried rice."
"Egg fried rice?" Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go down first."
The little palace maid nodded and looked at the princess as she walked out of the palace gate and walked in the direction of the Food Bureau. A smile appeared on her face. That rude guy will definitely suffer.
"It's so bitter." After biting into pieces a lotus seed, Li Yi frowned. The cooks in the palace would not be careful when doing things. It was obvious that he had forgotten to remove the core of the lotus seed he had just swallowed.
"Why are you here?" A voice came from behind. Li Yi turned around, picked up the bowl in his hand and gestured to her, "Would you like a bowl? I'll treat you to it."
The eunuchs in the courtyard immediately hid far away, as if they understood why His Majesty treated Mr. Li differently.
There are many viscounts in Kyoto, but this is the only one who dares to talk to the princess like this.
"I only found out about your father's decision yesterday. I originally planned to tell you in advance, but my father sent someone to pass the order 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 about Shouning's nonsense, so don't take it to heart."
"Forget it." Li Yi waved his hand. In fact, this made him feel more relaxed.
Cooking a few dishes and making a hot pot is much better than doing other errands, such as three provinces and six departments, or the front line of the army. Compared with these, Li Yi feels that this place is more suitable for him, at least the soup from the Food Bureau
The soup tastes better.
Seeing him concentrating on drinking soup, Li Mingzhu felt a little at ease. She originally thought that he would be dissatisfied because his father forced him to stay in the capital, but now it seems that he doesn't seem to resist it very much.
I don’t know why, but after drinking two bowls of soup, not only was I not full, but I felt even hungrier.
"I'm going to get some egg fried rice, do you want it?" Li Yi stood up, patted his butt, looked at Li Mingzhu and asked.
Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded, expressing great agreement with Li Yi's proposal.
She hasn't eaten egg fried rice for a long time.
The director of the Shangshi Bureau watched in amazement as the lord used white rice and eggs to quickly make two plates of fragrant meals. He and the princess ate them outside, and he began to worry about his position as the director.
.
"It's a pity that there is no wine." While eating egg fried rice, Her Royal Highness looked a little regretful.
From ancient times to the present, Li Yi is the only one who has cooked egg fried rice with wine.
"Is there any wine in the palace?" Li Yi asked back, and then he realized that she should be talking about the spirits from Ruyifang.
There may be no shortage of good wine in the palace, but in terms of degree, according to the current technology, it cannot reach the level of distillation and purification of alcohol.
When it came to spirits, Li Yicai realized that the only spirits production workshop in the world today is in Qing'an Prefecture. Although there are other places, they are also flowing out of Qing'an Prefecture, so the price is naturally much more expensive.
The capital is obviously such an unexplored treasure land. If you can open a few spirits workshops here, you will undoubtedly be building your home on Jinshan Mountain.
Moreover, the capital and Qing'an Prefecture are so far apart that they won't affect each other's business. Not only that, wishful dew, perfume, soap, these things can be regarded as home routes. There are many more local tycoons in the capital than Qing'an Prefecture, so I'm afraid
Can’t afford to feed your family?
If you want to do business in a place like this, the first thing you need to do is not to build a shop or a workshop, but to build a business.
The capital is no better than Qing'an Prefecture. There are rich and powerful people everywhere. A small viscount is nothing. Even if there are not a hundred people in the capital, there are still some people suffering from pink eye. Li Yi himself can't stand it.
Li Yi looked at his thighs and looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said, "How about we join forces in the liquor business in the capital. Then, you can drink whenever and as much as you want."
Her Royal Highness the Princess agreed to Li Yi's proposal without thinking for long.
Firstly, it was because she really liked that kind of strong liquor, but it could only be bought in Qing'an Prefecture, but it was very rare in the capital.
Secondly, she also knew that the profits of this industry were huge, and even she could not ignore it. However, the capital was too deep, and it was impossible for Li Yi to make it big on his own. Being able to establish a relationship with the royal family could eliminate this worry.
Whether it's public or private, she will not fail to help with this task.
"Whatever you need, just say it." When she left after having enough food and not enough wine, Her Royal Highness the Princess said lightly.
Li Yi likes her straightforward attitude. She doesn't say a single unnecessary word, and doesn't even talk about the distribution of benefits. She is definitely someone with whom he can rest assured of long-term cooperation.
As for the specific matters of cooperation, there is no rush now. We will wait until Ruyi and Xiaohuan come over and they have completely settled down.
By the way, the emperor only gave him a royal uniform, a sign to prove his identity, a fiefdom, maids, servants, and a big house. Aren't they all standard equipment? Why was it never mentioned?
"Hey, little princess, why are you here? Where are those palace maids?" His thoughts were interrupted by the palm. Li Yi turned around and saw a girl of about six or seven years old in palace clothes standing in the yard.
.
The little girl's clothes were obviously unusual. She was holding a stuffed doll in her arms. She had a baby face and a dull expression on her face. Her eyes were big, clear and bright, but she had no energy and she didn't speak. Her eyes were straight.
Look inside the room.
"Little princess, it's not meal time yet. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I will send someone to bring it to you then." His Majesty is very strict in the discipline of these little princesses and princes, and even has rules for meals.
At that time, Zhang Tan didn’t dare to break the rules.
Hearing Zhang Tan's words, the little girl also said nothing, turned around, hugged the doll and walked outside. 8
