Chapter 426: Is There a Reward?

"Then you hurry up and go to the palace, don't let the emperor wait for a long time."

Mu Li specially brought some pastries for Chu Lingyi to eat on the road, and also went to get a cloak for Chu Lingyi to take.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside."

As far as Chu Lingyi is concerned, entering and leaving the palace has long been commonplace, and there is no need for any preparation. And Mu Li stood at the door, watching Chu Lingyi leave, until Chu Lingyi's carriage disappeared, and then he entered the house.

As early as when Shuiluo Village, Chu Lingyi wrote a letter to the emperor, mentioning the lack of officials in Shuile Village. This time I entered the palace, I'm afraid it was also for this matter.

"See the Emperor." Chu Lingyi hadn't seen the emperor for more than half a year, and found that the emperor had lost a lot of weight, and he didn't know what the emperor had experienced during this time.

"Hurry up, there is no need to be polite."

Although there are a lot of talents in the court, the only person who can really win the emperor's favor is Chu Lingyi, who is not only the emperor's brother, but also his right-hand man. Seeing Chu Lingyi coming back, the emperor couldn't help but be a little excited, and hurriedly asked someone to seat Chu Lingyi.

"I know what you said in your letter, but I don't know who to send."

Among the courtiers, most of them are relatives of the emperor, and if those noble sons go to serve in poor and remote places, they will definitely shirk it. However, Shuile Village and Fuli Village do not have outstanding talents, so they can only rely on allocation.

Chu Lingyi had a choice in his heart, but he didn't know if Lord Song was willing. Song Daren referred to by Chu Lingyi is Song Qing's father, he has always been a do-nothing type in the court, but he wants to make some achievements to be reused by the emperor. Lord Song has been hovering between Chu Lingyi and Lord Shangshu, wanting to rely on their relationship to stabilize his position in the court. Now that the relationship between Chu Lingyi and Lord Shangshu has long been eased, Lord Song doesn't know how to stand.

Chu Lingyi also knows this Lord Song, he wants to be reused by the emperor, but he has never been able to find a chance to show it.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of Lord Song?"

Lord Song was originally a businessman, and he ran Pinxuan Pavilion at home, and he was a pampered person, and the emperor felt that Lord Song could not endure hardship.

The emperor is worried, but it is not unreasonable, but there seems to be no more suitable candidate in this court than Lord Song, if Lord Song can really manage the area of Shuile Village well, he can be promoted when he returns to the court.

Chu Lingyi planned to talk to Lord Song first to see what Lord Song's attitude was, if he was willing to go over there, it would be best, if he didn't want to, then he could only choose someone else.

"It's okay, then it's going to be troublesome." With Chu Lingyi here, the emperor has a lot of peace of mind.

On weekdays, Chu Lingyi didn't have much contact with Lord Song, so he wanted Mu Li to come forward to talk to Song Qing and find out what Lord Song thought. After all, Mu Li and Song Qing had a close relationship, and Chu Lingyi believed that Song Qing would never have a trace of a lie in front of Mu Li.

Since he was begging someone to do something, Chu Lingyi naturally couldn't be empty-handed, so he went to buy Mu Li a rouge gouache. Chu Lingyi returned to the prince's mansion and asked his subordinates not to inform Mu Li, he wanted to give Mu Li a surprise.

Mu Li is sitting there, planning to build a private school for Shuile Village, no matter how poor a place is, it can't be a poor child, if it can't run education, then even if Shuile Village solves the problem of food and clothing, it can't completely erase poverty.

Chu Lingyi walked lightly to the door of Mu Li's room, watched Mu Li drag his cheeks to think, and beckoned everyone who was waiting on the side to go out.

Mu Li was thinking, it may not be enough to build one, after all, there is not only one village there, but to build a private school, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of silver, and the income of Yixiangfang alone is far from enough.

Chu Lingyi opened the rouge and gently wiped it on Mu Li's face.

"You, what are you doing?" Mu Li found out that Chu Lingyi was back, and he didn't know what Chu Lingyi had put on his face, so he hurriedly ran to the dresser. "Rouge?"

Oh my God, Mu Li began to wonder if the one in front of him was Chu Lingyi, how could he think of buying rouge for himself? On weekdays, Mu Lihua is light makeup, and rouge is not commonly used, so why should this good person send things.

"Well, the boss said it was good." Chu Lingyi didn't know anything about women, she always asked the owner of the rouge shop which ones were good, and she bought them, but she knew that this was the most expensive in the shop.

Things are indeed good things, but Mu Li doesn't understand, why did Chu Lingyi give himself things for no reason? "Tell me, do you want me to help you with something?"

"It's not a big deal if the princess is smart."

Mu Li knew that Chu Lingyi had something to help with the rouge gouache he bought, and Mu Li wiped off the rouge that Chu Lingyi wiped on his face just now.

When Mu Li heard this, it turned out that Chu Lingyi wanted him to inquire about Lord Song's thoughts, and this matter was indeed a trivial matter for Mu Li. However, just a few boxes of rouge gouache want to buy Mu Li, is it too cheap Chu Lingyi.

Mu Li was still thinking about building a private school, and he happened to be short of money on hand, if he had Chu Lingyi's help, it would be even better. Although Chu Lingyi said that the entire prince's mansion was under Mu Li's control, it was all Chu Lingyi's after all, and Mu Li was embarrassed to take it directly.

"If I get it done, will you get a reward?" Mu Li stood up from the dresser and played with the handkerchief in his hand.

Chu Lingyi stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the tip of Mu Li's nose, "As long as it is something that the princess wants, this king will definitely find a way to get it, even if it is the moon in the sky." ”

"That's what you said, don't go back on it then."

Chu Lingyi made a promise to Mu Li, and he always kept it in his heart and never dared to forget it. As long as Mu leaves his heart, Chu Lingyi is willing to go to the soup for Mu Li, and he will not give up. Besides, Chu Lingyi also knew that Mu Li would never let him do anything unnecessary.

As for the relationship between Mu Li and Song Qing, it is not a matter of Mu Li's words. Mu Li came to Pinxuan Pavilion with confidence, and broke in directly without saying a word. "Hurry up and let Song Qing come out to see me."

Mu Li looked at the business of Pinxuan Pavilion, and it seemed that each other's Yixiangfang was even better. I really don't know what Song Qing has done to make his business so hot in the past six months.

Mu Li waited for a while and didn't see Song Qing come out to meet people, this is not Song Qing's style, if it was placed in the past, as long as Mu Li came to Pinxuan Pavilion, Song Qing would personally come out to greet him.

It's weird, what is this Song Qing doing? Mu left the back kitchen, only to see Song Qing and Li Lan, the young lady of the Li family, making pastries. I really didn't expect the two of them to walk together, no wonder they didn't come out to greet them, it turned out to be making pastries with their beloved.

"Ahem, ahem." Mu Li deliberately coughed a few times, attracting the attention of Song Qing and Li Lan. It seems that Miss Li still has some ability, so Song Qing is so gentle with her. It's also a good thing that the two of them can be together. Mu Li almost forgot the purpose of coming this time.

"Miss Li, can you borrow your Song Qing for a while, I have something important to talk to him."
