Chapter 201: Conflict of Powers (5)
Li Pin walked to the main hall and dormitory of the princess's mansion, but he didn't see Li Hao's figure, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, where did this person go, and he couldn't find it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Li Hao walked over with a plate in his hand, and happened to see Li Pin in a daze: "Pin'er, come over and eat." ”
Li Pin looked at Li Hao with the plate in his hand, his face was gray and couldn't help but be a little dazed, and he followed Li Hao to the dining room stupidly, looked at the table of food and looked at Li Hao suspiciously, and said, "You really did it?" ”
Li Hao saw Li Pin's confused appearance, and his heart became even more proud: "Yes! Here's what I did, how's it going, right? ”
Li Pin swept the dishes on the table, it looked very good-looking, but he didn't know how it tasted, he stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of eggplant, and just wanted to put it in his mouth, he looked at Li Hao and said, "Have you ever done it before?" ”
"No, it's my first time doing it." Li Hao looked at Li Pin expectantly, and Li Pin was the only one who could let him make soup by himself.
Li Pin was even more entangled when he heard this, it looks good, but can he really eat it? It won't be toxic! She really couldn't believe that a first-time cook could make a dish that was both beautiful and flavorful, so she changed the subject and said, "Who did you learn to cook this dish from, and it looks good." ”
"Of course, I did it all by listening to the chef, and it took me a long time to make it." Li Hao said with some pride.
When Li Pin heard this, he lowered his head and looked at Li Hao with some grievances and said, "Isn't there a saying that a gentleman is far away from cooking?" If you spread it, maybe the outside world will say that I am bullying you? When the time comes, my reputation for being brutal and fierce will not be able to stop it. ”
Li Hao didn't expect this, lowered his head and said: "It's my negligence, but I think that your body has never been particularly healthy, and you have been letting others cook for you, I feel very uncomfortable, and I always want to cook for you by myself." I took care of you personally, and after passing by the food in my hands, I felt a lot more at ease watching you eat. But don't worry, I'm going to keep those cooks shut and they won't get it out. ”
Li Pin didn't hesitate anymore when she heard this, even if she was drugged to death by him, she was willing, as long as it was something he handed over, even if it was poisonous, she wouldn't hesitate, put the dish in her mouth, the smile on Li Pin's face became bigger and bigger, it was really delicious.
Looking at Li Hao while eating, he felt very unfair in his heart: This god is too unfair, it is not enough to give that person such a good-looking appearance and a smart brain, and he actually gave that person such superb cooking skills, didn't he say that he would cook for the first time!
Li Hao looked at Li Pin's joy in eating, and asked with a smile: "Does it taste and your appetite?" ”
Li Pin didn't have time to answer, he kept nodding his head, swallowed the things in his mouth and said: "You don't have to block the chef's mouth tightly, such a delicious dish, don't say that I am a, even a tigress I will admit it." ”
Li Hao smiled and said, "I won't let them laugh at you." "Jingzhongli will only say that the princess and the prime minister are very affectionate, and the prime minister secretly finds out what the princess likes to eat, and will personally learn to make it for the princess. At that time, everyone will envy the loving relationship between us, and the person you love is a foodie, so you can only become a chef who can cook all kinds of dishes.
For a foodie, a good chef is a living gold that can run.
After Li Pin finished eating, he stroked his stomach with satisfaction, and then remembered a serious question, she had just been attracted by the food cooked by Li Hao, and then she actually forgot to ask him about the ministers.
Thinking of this, his face became serious, and he looked at Li Hao and asked: "When I came back, a bunch of ministers gathered outside the princess's mansion, saying that they wanted to see you, and they also told me that you had a quarrel with the Queen Mother, saying that you wanted to rest for a while, what is going on?" ”
"What's going on? In fact, it is not a difficult matter, but because His Majesty wants to suppress the power of the Queen Mother, he first cut the expenses of the harem, and then let the eldest son of the younger brother of the Queen Mother go to escort the food for disaster relief, which sounds nothing wrong, but His Majesty has made up his mind not to produce a grain of grain, and on the night he received this errand, the grain was stolen. Li Hao said helplessly that he didn't want to participate in the battle between the two people, but his identity had to be expressed.
"And then? That grain was intercepted by His Majesty? Li Pin asked with a smile, this is also too scoundrel, isn't this asking the queen mother's younger brother to pay for the preparation of food by himself?
"Isn't it? His Majesty's mind was to let the Queen Mother's family take out all the money they had been greedy for so many years, so they came up with such a bad idea, and this matter reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was naturally unwilling, so she asked Her Majesty to push off this errand. Since His Majesty has laid out the situation and insisted that this grain has been handed over to the Queen Mother's maiden family for safekeeping, it is naturally impossible to give up halfway. So the Queen Mother couldn't put off the errand, and she couldn't say that the food was stolen, which couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. Li Hao sighed and said.
"This is also a matter for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, what does it matter to you? Why are you still involved? Li Pin asked with a frown.
"This is not just in time, Your Majesty asked me for my opinion on this matter, and I naturally agreed. The Queen Mother couldn't lose her temper with His Majesty, so she took her anger out on me, and then it was like what you saw. Li Hao spread his hands helplessly.
Li Pin glanced at Li Hao: "Don't treat me as a child, how could you not even bear such a little anger, and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly, this anger was not directed at you, what did you do to make things so big." ”
Li Hao said helplessly: "I know that I can't hide it from you, the battle between the Queen Mother and the Emperor is becoming more and more obvious, it is really difficult for me to stand in the middle, Your Majesty not only wants to take back the power of the Queen Mother, but also wants to take back the power in my hands." If I help the Queen Mother, it must be a self-defeating way, the Queen Mother is impossible to fight Your Majesty, looking at the current power of Your Majesty is not as good as the Queen Mother, but Your Majesty's brain is much smarter than the Queen Mother, and it is only a matter of time before Your Majesty controls the power of the Queen Mother. ”
"That's right, since you can see it clearly, why do you ......" Li Pin said while supporting his chin and changing his comfortable posture to continue listening.
"Your Majesty wants the power in my hands, and he must be secretly putting pressure on me, but the replacement of this power is not a matter of one or two days, he is still too young, and he doesn't understand some things, so I just want to hand it over to him and can't give it to him all at once. If he wants it, I'll stop doing it, and then he will understand my difficulties. Li Hao said helplessly.
Li Pin said in confusion: "You really want to return the power to Your Majesty." ”
Li Hao looked at Li Pin and said: "Power is not the most important thing for me, if he wants me, he will give it to him, but now he can't afford it, you know, I am very happy to be this prime minister, and I won't be sad if I don't do it, as long as you are by my side." ”
Li Pin's face stiffened, but in the end, he heard a little loss from his seemingly free and easy words, Li Hao still hopes to be able to grasp power and serve the court and the people, these have been melted into his bones for so many years, and it is not easy to put it aside.
