Chapter 15: Sugar Gourd

As soon as these words came out, Liu Susu's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and she looked at Chen Mu in disbelief.

Before this, this Miss Liu's high vision was well-known throughout the capital.

How many princes, nobles, dignitaries and dignitaries came to propose marriage, but she rejected them one by one.

But people only know that she has a high vision, but they don't know what kind of man she likes.

In fact, in Liu Susu's heart, Chen Mu, who used to have a good relationship with her, can almost be said to be the most perfect person in her opinion.

It's just that Chen Mu became the prince later, and the two suddenly broke off contact.

She knew that it was impossible for the two of them, so she never mentioned it to her father.

It's just that I didn't expect that when the two met for the first time after many years, it was Chen Mulai who took the initiative to mention this matter to her.

Seeing that his daughter didn't speak, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was anxious.

He was afraid that his precious daughter would collide with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Su Su, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for your reply." He whispered to his daughter.

"A young talent like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid there is only this one in the world."

"My father mentioned to you a few days ago that our new policy in Daxia was completed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with the assistance of the emperor."

"Now you can be loved by His Royal Highness the Prince, but you must seize this opportunity!"

After saying that, Prime Minister Liu Cheng not only praised Chen Mu, but also implied that his daughter agreed to this matter.

Of course, Liu Susu had no reason to refuse, so he happily agreed.

Prime Minister Liu Cheng was also very happy.

To be able to see his daughter find such a good home is also satisfying for a father.

Now that both parties are satisfied with the matter, the next step is to get into some formalities.

Chen Mu knew that once the news of this family affair spread, his actions must be fast.

Otherwise, I don't know how many people want to get in the way.

The emperor decreed the marriage, Chen Mu proposed, and the marriage was completed, all the actions were swift and the sense of ceremony was not lost, and the etiquette was all in place.

When the candle night in the cave room, Chen Mu looked at Liu Susu, who was full of shyness, and was in a good mood.

Sure enough, being a prince is cool! Such a beautiful woman can marry herself with just one sentence.

However, as soon as Chen Mu's crown princess was established, some people suddenly resented.

The officials who originally wanted to give their daughter to the position of crown princess were jealous, but they still had to pretend to be smiling and congratulate the prince on his marriage.

But in fact, one by one has long been angry in their hearts.

Chen Mu and Chen Xingtian naturally didn't have the courage to provoke them, so all these jealousies fell on Prime Minister Liu Cheng without any suspense.

For a time, Liu Cheng, who rarely participated in court battles on weekdays, became the focus of the ministers' eyes on the contrary.

Some people are eager to win over Prime Minister Liu Cheng, hoping to use him to climb Chen Mu's relationship.

There are also people who resent Prime Minister Liu Cheng in their hearts, and even formed a gang in private to frame Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and went to him for several days.

It's just a pity that although Prime Minister Liu Cheng is in a high position, he still can't play these conspiracies and tricks in the end.

Listening to those people talking about a lot of false accusations in a serious manner, Prime Minister Liu Cheng only felt that he was at a loss for words.

Looking at the way those people said their words one by one, Liu Chengxiang felt that he seemed to be wrong no matter how he explained.

If Chen Mu hadn't finally stood up and relieved him, I was afraid that Lord Liu would be about to roll up his sleeves and go up to do it.

For these partisan disputes, Chen Xingtian has naturally seen a lot,

He himself is bent on Chen Mu, and most of them are perfunctory in the face of these.

However, Liu Susu was very worried about his father's situation in the court.

Chen Mu saw that his wife was depressed all day, so he sent his subordinates out to buy some small things such as folk snacks and came back, wanting to divert Liu Susu's attention.

After all, the food in the prince's mansion is almost that, and there is nothing new.

Maybe there will be something new among the people.

But after people bought things back, Chen Mu only felt that he couldn't bear to look at them directly.

Corn crackers? Pickles? Air-dried meat?

Is this a gift or a relief for the victims!

In the end, Chen Mu could only helplessly set his sights on his own mansion.

This ancient material life was too scarce!

Even his dignified prince's mansion doesn't even have any fruit now!

When he threw this question to the people, the answer was that there was no fruit in the current season.

"The only fresh fruit is hawthorn, but you have always disliked it, so ...... it."

Hawthorn? That's a good thing.

"How do you usually eat this hawthorn?"

Several subordinates glanced at Chen Mu a little blankly.

"Wash it before eating."

When Chen Mu heard this answer, he only felt that the roots of his teeth were soft.

Eat it straight?

No wonder the prince didn't like to eat.

Who can stand eating directly!

Chen Mu immediately ordered someone to buy a large number of hawthorns and came back, and he went into the kitchen with the hawthorns in his arms.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the kitchen is messy, you really shouldn't come here with your identity, if you want to eat anything, just tell the little ones."

When they saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually entered the kitchen in person, the people in the kitchen were all panicked.

Chen Mu waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, picked up the knife and started working.

Life in this place is tiring enough every day, how can you do it without eating something good?

It doesn't matter if there is no good one, he Chen Mu has a way.

The hawthorn was washed, pitted, and cleaned up, and Chen Mu set up a pot to cook sugar.

The people around gathered curiously.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you doing here?"

"Sugar gourd."

Seeing everyone's blank faces, Chen Mu didn't bother to explain anything to them.

Soon, the first batch of finished products was ready.

Chen Mu tasted a bunch first.

Although the appearance is average, the taste is still very good.

He ordered someone to send some to Liu Susu, and let the rest be shared by his subordinates in the kitchen.

Everyone paused the moment they ate it, and even the old chef who had been in the kitchen for many years showed a look of approval.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has this kind of talent!

"I just watched it, will you do it?" Chen Mu asked the cooks.

"If you can do it, you will set up a stall in front of our house in the future and sell these things to the people, and you will earn more extra money."

Good things are meant to be shared with everyone.

What's more, in this era of such a scarce material life, sugar gourd can really be regarded as a rare delicacy.

Soon, the news spread, and everyone in the capital knew that there was a kind of food called sugar gourd for sale in front of the prince's mansion, which was sweet and sour.

The people didn't dare to approach the prince's mansion at first, but after tasting the sugar gourd, one or two were immediately full of praise.
