Recently, Li Yi was keen on making soup. This work was not as simple as putting a bunch of ingredients in water to boil. The proportion of various ingredients, the amount of water, the heat, the time, and changing any of the parameters, the taste might change qualitatively.
In this aspect, he was already very experienced.
Of course, the love poured into the soup could not be described by the amount.
Ruyi's soup nourished the fetus, and Xiao Huan's soup was beneficial to the growth of puberty girls. Although Miss.Liu did not need to grow any more, it was not bad to drink more.
The one who needed to grow the most was actually the Eldest Princess, more than Xiao Huan. Therefore, when Li Yi entered the palace, he brought her a full cup.
Eating Egg Fried Rice with a delicious soup that could nourish one's body would be better. Eating Egg Fried Rice with wine didn't sound like a good thing.
"How is it? This soup tastes good, right?"
Egg fried rice was a little greasy, and this soup could relieve the greasy feeling. More importantly, it could also grow the body.
MIngzhu nodded. Soup with rice was indeed better, but after experiencing something, whenever soup was mentioned, she would think of something that made people blush. She looked at Li Yi with some vigilance and asked, "This soup … What's the use?"
"To relieve greasy feeling, it's not good to drink all the time." Li Yi looked at her and said indifferently, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl and started to drink by himself.
MIngzhu's doubts disappeared, but she felt a little guilty. She really should not have doubted him just now.
Li Yi took out a piece of paper and said, "This is for you."
Li Mingzhu took it and looked at it. She found that what was written on it was exactly what he had told her yesterday. It was just that it was more organized and clear. As for the more specific and detailed things, he had deliberately omitted them.
"Just hand it over like this." Li Yi was worried that she would blurt out all the details on her own, so he reminded her of something else.
MIngzhu did not ask much. She knew that he did this for a reason. This matter was beneficial to the country and the people. He would not harm her.
MIngzhu looked at him and asked, "How do you get the money?"
"It's a secret for now."
Li Yi didn't tell her directly, not because he didn't trust her, but because he trusted her too much.
This silly girl's kung fu was quite powerful, but her mind was actually very simple. She could not hide anything in her heart.
If he really solved all the problems and then revealed everything, what would they have to do with it?
"I'm leaving. I'll come find you in a few days."
Li Yi waved his hand and leisurely walked out of the Morning Dew Hall.
"County Marquis Li treats His Highness very well," the figure standing behind MIngzhu suddenly said when he saw Li Yi walk out.
What she meant was not limited to him bringing the princess's favorite food every time he came. In fact, the things he did for the princess were much more than that.
He made a princess, a woman, step by step become an existence that even the men in the court could not underestimate. No one dared to question why the Eldest Princess of the Jing Kingdom was still not married, and no one questioned why she could become the Dean of the Women's College. She led a group of noble ladies in the capital and did many things that men could not do. She also let those people know what it meant to be a woman not inferior to a man.
MIngzhu did not directly respond. She looked out of the hall and finished the Egg-Fried Rice. After drinking a bowl of soup, she put down the jade spoon and said, "There is still some soup left. I can't drink it. Nanny, drink it. Don't waste it."
The old woman smiled. She knew that MIngzhu did not want to waste County Marquis Li's kindness. She took a bowl and scooped out the last bowl of soup. After drinking a mouthful, she smacked her lips. Her expression suddenly froze.
Before the Princess was born, she had always been by the Empress's side. She had personally served the Empress for more than ten years and watched the Empress grow from a little girl to a woman. Naturally, she knew what this familiar taste of the soup had.
MIngzhu looked at her with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
The old woman put down the bowl and looked at her meaningfully. She said, "This soup … is only useful for His Highness to drink. I'd better not drink it …"
…
…
It was late at night. The Hall of Diligent Government was silent. Occasionally, there was the sound of pages turning.
Chang De walked out of the shadows. He coughed lightly and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
"Chang De, tell me, am I really old?" Emperor Jing put down a memorial. It was hard to tell whether his expression was gratified or lonely.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of your life. Why do you say that?" Chang De's voice finally had some emotion.
"If MIngzhu was a man, why would I do this today?" Emperor Jing seemed to be talking to himself. He picked up the memorial and read it again carefully. Everything was clear and extremely comprehensive. He couldn't help but murmur, "These were all thought of by MIngzhu alone? That boy is right. I am indeed old. The future of the Jing Kingdom is still in the hands of these young people. "
At this moment, Chang De roughly guessed what he meant. In terms of writing poems and lyrics, His Majesty was not as good as County Earl Li. In terms of martial arts, His Majesty was not as good as the Eldest Princess. However, His Majesty had always been good at governing the country. When one day, he found that he was not as good as others in these matters, it was not strange for him to sigh like he did just now.
Chang De thought for a while and said, "Her Royal Highness is also worried about His Majesty. I'm afraid that County Earl Li also contributed a lot."
"It's not the first time that he gave all the credit to MIngzhu." A trace of anger appeared on Emperor Jing's face. He said, "This brat, if he had taken out these things earlier, I wouldn't have had a headache for so long …"
As Emperor Jing spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Leave this matter to MIngzhu. I am also happy to be idle."
He was very confident in MIngzhu's ability. Since this matter was proposed by her, he would leave it to her. In this way, he would also be much more relaxed.
The most important issue was the funding. The higher-ups only said that there was no need to allocate funds from the national treasury. As for where the huge sum of money would come from, he didn't care so much.
Someone would always have a way.
As if thinking of something, Emperor Jing suddenly said, "Do you think he has any thoughts about MIngzhu?"
If Li Yi didn't have a wife, he would even think it was a good thing. But it was impossible for a princess of a country to be a concubine.
"Her Royal Highness and he have known each other for a long time. He is also indebted to her …" Chang De thought for a while and said, "As for other things, it shouldn't be."
Naturally, he couldn't say much about this kind of thing.
"With MIngzhu's age, if it was another princess, she would have gotten married long ago. But she always has her own ideas. I don't know her thoughts, so I can't help her decide. If it was someone else, it wouldn't matter, but that brat …"
Emperor Jing frowned. After muttering a few words, he shook his head and showed a relaxed smile on his face.
"It's getting late. Let's rest."
Although there was still some loneliness in her heart, this was the child's heart. The child had grown up and could finally help her father share some things …
…
"It's done?"
Li Yi looked at MIngzhu and couldn't help but ask.
MIngzhu didn't speak but nodded.
Although he didn't know why she didn't seem to be in a good mood and the way she looked at him was a little strange, it was always worth being happy that the plan had taken a big step forward.
"Drink soup, drink soup …" Li Yi filled another bowl for her.
MIngzhu looked at him and there was a trace of shame and anger on her face. She lowered her head slightly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to drink, Li Yi was stunned. Then he shook his head and didn't care about it. He said, "Forget it, I will bring it back for Xiao Huan to drink. The food is still complete. I will also bring this soup bowl back. The next time I come, I will return it …"
After all, whether the Princess Royal grew up or not had little to do with him. The little servant girl was in the puberty period and her nutrition had to keep up.
Seeing him stand up and prepare to leave, MIngzhu's face showed the same color as a peach blossom. She gritted her teeth and said, "Put it down …"
