Chapter 337: Chu Lingyi Brand Sour Plums
Chu Lingyi thought that Mu Li would like it, and when he saw Xiaohong cleaning up, he stood up again as soon as he sat down.
"The princess didn't say that she wanted light food, this was all bought by someone sent by the king, do you like it?"
Mu Li really wanted to say a word, but he still left the words in his stomach. What are you buying, the pastries Mu Li can make by himself, I don't know how much better they are than the ones outside, and I still need him Chu Lingyi to buy them. There are also fruits, when did Mu Li say that he loved apples, it was the most unpalatable among fruits, how could he be happy.
I thought that after getting along with Chu Lingyi for so long, I should have an understanding of what I liked, but now it seems that it is just on the surface.
"Well, if you think I like it, then like it." Mu Li didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Lingyi, he was already in a bad mood because the emperor rejected his proposal, and thought that deliberately rectifying Chu Lingyi would make him feel better.
Xiaohong didn't know whether to clean up or not, so she stopped what she was doing and stood at the door, leaving a private space for the prince and princess.
Chu Lingyi took out a packet of sour plums from his waist and took one and stuffed it into Mu Li's mouth. "This king knows, this is your favorite."
A sweet and sour taste burst out from the tip of Mu Li's tongue, slowly entered the esophagus, and flowed into the stomach. No matter what her mood is, Mu Li always likes to eat some sweet and sour plums, which is a habit of hers. Even if you eat it every day, you don't get tired of it.
"What, still angry?" Mu Li deliberately rectified Chu Lingyi, he didn't know, he just wanted to follow Mu Li's mood. Since he couldn't uncover Mu Li's heart knot, Chu Lingyi could only feed Mu Li sour plums in person.
Chu Lingyi's small packet of sour plums is not small, he secretly took Mu Li's honey and marinated it, this is the first time he has made it.
Mu Li was careful, the taste was a little different from what he usually eats, and there was an indescribable taste in the sweet and sour. "It's the plums on Merry Street, how can there still be a smell of honey?"
I took Mu Li's honey, of course, there will be a familiar taste. Chu Lingyi smiled lightly, "If the princess loves to eat, this king will do it again." ”
"You do?" Mu Li knocked on Chu Lingyi suspiciously, when will he also make candied fruit, but it is really big news.
Chu Lingyi put all the remaining sour plums in Mu Li's palm and asked her to eat one when she was in a bad mood.
"Why, is it okay to allow the princess to make pastries, but not to make preserves for this king?" Chu Lingyi's heart was completely occupied by Mu Li, and in order to coax Mu Li, of course she was willing to do anything for her. It's just making preserves, so what's so difficult.
This taste is even sweeter and more delicious than what Mu Li usually eats, and he can't help but eat a lot of them one by one. I still want Mu Li to keep it for the future, where did I come from, I have almost eaten it now.
"Xiaohong." Mu Li called Xiaohong in and asked her to tidy up the things on the table, leave a few, and send the rest to the children.
Chu Lingyi leaned sideways and asked Mu Li, "Is the princess angry?" ”
"Why, do you want me to be angry so much?" Mu Li picked up the food on the table and blocked Chu Lingyi's sin.
There is nothing to be dissipated, even if it is fried, there is nothing to make up. The emperor didn't accept Mu Li's advice at all, Mu Li couldn't go against the emperor, and he didn't want to mix up here.
Don't mention it, as soon as Mu Li is mentioned, he is annoyed, he feels that he is very useless, and he wants the people to fight for some welfare, but he can only be pushed out of the door by the emperor.
"Forget it, so be it." Mu Li ate the last sour plum, leaving only the empty wrapping paper. Mu Li knew that his persistence and persistence in this matter would not yield any results.
Mu Li tore the note to shreds in front of Chu Lingyi, and sprinkled it into the air, and the fine pieces of paper fell down.
"The princess can rest assured, the king will discuss with the royal brother about the sale of children. Let local officials strictly supervise to avoid such incidents. ”
According to Mu Li's idea, using the law to control the world to treat boys and girls equally, Chu Lingyi can't help Mu Li achieve it, which is against the old ethics.
Mu Li pursed his lips and glanced at Chu Lingyi, so that he would not believe Chu Lingyi's words. What local officials, if they can really strictly control it, how can this kind of thing happen? Undoubtedly, these officials are lazy and don't care about the people's suffering, otherwise how could anyone sell children and persecute innocent lives.
"I want to be alone for a while." Mu Li pushed Chu Lingyi out of his room, his mind was too messy, he was sad for a while, happy for a while, and he needed to tidy it up.
Mu Litai wanted to use his own methods to help the people, but he was a woman and could not intervene in the affairs of the court. Mu Li was lying at the window, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, his mind was blank.
Mu Li is like this, Chu Lingyi's heart is not comfortable, but Chu Lingyi really can't help Mu Li in this matter, he is just a prince, how can he have the right to make decisions for the emperor.
"Accompany the princess more, don't let her stay alone." Chu Lingyi told Xiaohong to always pay attention to Mu Li's emotions and take her out for a walk, so as not to think about it.
Mu Li is not a fragile person, but he feels guilty for not being able to fight for the people in his heart.
Because of Mu Li's matter, the emperor deliberately looked for Chu Lingyi once, so that Chu Lingyi cared more about Mu Li. The implication is to let Chu Lingyi take care of his princess, Chu Lingyi is not a fool, of course he understands this.
You must know that in the eyes of the emperor before, Mu Li was his concern, and every time Mu Li entered the palace, the emperor wanted to meet Mu Li to relieve his lovesickness. At this moment, Mu Li's proposal affected the status of the man, how could the emperor be happy. It's not that the emperor has an opinion on Mu Li, but that the emperor thinks that Mu Li has too avant-garde thoughts. For thousands of years, the emperor's power is greater than everything, the people of the world and the morning and the wood are all the emperor's, Mu Li's idea is undoubtedly to challenge the emperor's authority.
Zhang Guifei and their mothers have always been influenced by the idea that women should be gentle and elegant, follow their fathers at home, marry their husbands, and follow their husbands when they die. Therefore, she didn't understand why Mu Li had such thoughts, but Mu Li saved her, and she didn't want Mu Li to be estranged from the emperor because of such thoughts.
"I don't want to hear anything like that."
Zhang Guifei was still offending the emperor for Mu Li's day, and then speaking for Mu Li, treating Mu Li as her confidant, and didn't want to create a gap between Mu Li and the emperor.
"The concubines know and will definitely persuade each other."
The relationship between Mu Li and the emperor, Zhang Guifei has heard it more or less, and has always thought that the emperor still has residual feelings for Mu Li, and he will not be angry with Mu Li's words, who knows that this time the reaction will be so big. Zhang Guifei thought that Mu Li was a friend, so she wanted to say good things for Mu Li in front of the emperor, but she was reprimanded by the emperor.
Since this topic is so sensitive, Zhang Guifei specially sent someone to send a letter to Mu Li, asking her not to mention this matter when she goes to the palace in the future, so as not to displease the emperor. Displeasure is small, and if the blame comes down, it will be a big matter.
