How is it possible for the princess to come by herself?

Iris looked at Li Xiuzhu with resentment, as if she was looking at a heartless man.

Well, it seems that the little guy will definitely not come.

Li Xiuzhu thought about it and handed over a chicken leg.

"This is my midnight snack. It's a little cold. See how you guys heat it up."

"That's all."

Iris was delighted when she heard that, and looked at Li Xiuzhu with surprise, extremely happy.

Although the quantity is not much, it should be enough.

"Thank you, Prince Consort."

Iris happily took the chicken leg and ran away, and Li Xiuzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw her.

Wow, the speed of changing face is amazing.

Of course, Li Xiuzhu definitely didn't give it to Li Liuli out of kindness.

Just like it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

You can endure the darkness if you never see the light.

Li Xiuzhu didn't believe that Li Liuli could resist eating such delicious chicken legs.

It is said that this girl is a foodie, and for a foodie, selling her body is a very normal thing.

Of course, we have to solve the problem of Cheng Yu first.

Love is the most dangerous thing. It can make a person give up his life. If one can give up his life, what does some external things matter? Iris returned to the princess' room. Li Liuli took a look and when she saw the chicken leg, she rushed over and grabbed it.

"Wow, this tastes amazing."

"I've grown up like this and there are still delicious foods that I haven't tasted yet, woo woo woo."

The iris is numb, but I'm not hot yet.

"Miss, I haven't heated this up for you yet."

Looking at the chicken leg in her hand, Li Liuli suddenly felt numb.

Is this still hot? But there is only one-third of the chicken leg left. Isn't it an overreaction to heat it up now?

"Wow, it's so delicious when it's cold. I can't imagine how delicious it would be if it were hot."

Li Liuli felt more and more distressed as she spoke, but could she spit out the meat that had already been chewed? Iris didn't know how to answer this.

There's nothing I can do about it. This is all I can get.

"Ahem, if the princess marries a prince consort, then she will be able to eat it often in the future."

Li Liuli paused for a moment, and squinted at Iris.

"Don't say things like that again."

Iris also paused, and immediately realized that the princess was not happy to hear it.

What a pity, what else could she do? She could only try indirectly, after all, she was just a servant.

Li Liuli chewed the chicken leg slowly, but in her mind she was thinking about how she could eat all kinds of delicious food openly without marrying Li Xiuzhu.

Wait, Li Xiuzhu is cooking in front of people after all. Even if he can keep it a secret, the chefs will probably learn from him secretly.

If that's the case, then the chef at the Fu Mansion would also be able to do it.

Hehe, can't I just ask two chefs to go back and solve the problem?

I am a princess, can the Prime Minister refuse me? At this time, Li Xiuzhu didn't know what Li Liuli was thinking, otherwise he would laugh.

Do you really think it's that easy to learn? Many of the seasonings are made by him himself, and many of the seasonings used by chefs are semi-finished products.

Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu went to Zuixianlou.

He had been to Zuixianlou once, but he still found it magnificent when he came again.

It is not the vulgar gold of later generations, which only appears in palaces and temples. This is the grandeur with cultural heritage.

Not only are the dining tables and chairs exquisite, but there are also famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, and the floral ornaments are also extremely exquisite.

Li Xiuzhu arrived early, Zuixianlou had just opened, and the fire had not even started.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu coming, the shopkeeper at the door was stunned and walked up.

"Are you going to eat? It's not even dinner time yet, and we haven't even lit the fire yet."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head upon hearing this and asked directly, "Where is the boss of your Zuixianlou? Can you call him over?"

Fortunately, he was not afraid, because Zuixianlou had the support of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"You are looking for a boss...?"

Li Xiuzhu said directly: "It's a good thing, but you can't make the decision on this matter, go and call someone."

"Hey, the host is quite far from here, you can go sit in the box first."

"Sanxi, take the subject to the Peony Pavilion and serve a pot of Biluochun."

"Okay!"

As he was speaking, a young man in his twenties ran over quickly and saluted Li Xiuzhu.

"Objective please."

Li Xiuzhu did not hesitate and followed the waiter upstairs.

There are not only three pots of peonies in the Peony Pavilion, but also a peony cloak, and even the carvings have many peonies, which shows that a lot of thought has gone into it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll make you some tea."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and waited for a while before the tea was served. Before he finished his tea, there was a knock on the door.

After a knock on the door, a fat official walked in.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned by the silk the visitor was wearing.

Yes, it’s not difficult for the owner of Zuixianlou to get some silk clothes.

Although merchants are normally not allowed to wear silk, they can wear it if it is a reward from an official.

Of course, ordinary officials can also wear it. Silk is easy to buy. The key is that no one reports it, or the relationship is strong enough, or the source is legitimate.

"My name is Wang Fugui. May I know what this gentleman's name is?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said, "Li Xiuzhu, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works."

Wang Fugui's eyelids jumped. Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works? That's a second-rank official. How could it be possible for such a young man to be like this?

"Sir, are you kidding?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"This is my seal."

The boss believed it immediately. Forging an official seal is a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the family.

The boss just took a look at it and returned the seal to Li Xiuzhu, bowing deeply again.

"I, Wang Fugui, greet you, sir. I wonder what you are here for."

When the shopkeeper saw that his boss had saluted, he also hurriedly saluted.

"I, Liu Xi, greet you, sir."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Liu Xi without saying anything, and Wang Fugui immediately understood.

"Liu Xi, you go out first."

"Watch the door and don't let anyone in casually."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xi nodded quickly.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Although Wang Fugui didn't know what Li Xiuzhu meant, he was not afraid because he had the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue behind him.

Seeing Liu Xi leave, Li Xiuzhu took a sip of tea. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Fugui was stunned.

"Lord Wang, do you want to be an official?"

Wang Fugui was stunned and looked at Li Xiuzhu in confusion.

"What does Lord Li mean by this?"

Li Xiuzhu did not hide anything and said directly: "This is not my intention, but the intention of His Majesty. His Majesty has given me the right to buy and sell official positions."

"Of course, only officials below the seventh rank."

"I think the only people who need official positions and have money are merchants like you."

"So I came to try my luck here. Of course, if Boss Wang is not interested, I won't say much and will just turn around and leave."

"But you have to know that this opportunity is rare. This may be the only chance in your life to change your identity."
