Chapter 201 Peacock is in a different mood today
The emperor kept the fact that Lin Mo had snatched the emperor's harem a secret.
This matter must not be known to outsiders, he still has to save face! As an emperor, all his concubines were snatched away by a little girl. If this were to be told, wouldn't it be a joke?
So everyone only knew that Lin Mo came out of the palace with a lot of bags and a very happy expression on his face.
That night, Lin Mo asked the back kitchen to roast the two chickens. The old chickens were used for stewing and the slightly tender ones were used for boiling.
Looking at the large table of dishes on the table, several people in the Lin family didn't know whether they should pick up their chopsticks.
These were all dishes served by the ladies in the harem. No one except the emperor should have eaten them.
(Emperor Xuande: I haven't eaten it many times either. I usually rely on stealing vegetables and chickens.)
Lin Mo chewed on a big chicken wing and said incoherently: "Eat it, why don't you eat it? This chicken is delicious. This chicken is stewed with special flavor and cooked with special fragrance."
Bai Xiao nodded with his mouth full of chicken meat, "Yes, yes, this is a real free-range chicken, chicken running around the palace, who can eat such a chicken?"
After being told this by the two of them, they couldn't eat anymore. This blessing was indeed a bit too great.
But after they picked up the chopsticks, they immediately changed their minds.
Minister Lin took a sip of the chicken soup and sighed comfortably: "This chicken is indeed different from what we usually buy. Why don't we raise some chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the farm and ask the farm to deliver them when we need them."
Madam Lin: "Need you to tell me? They have been raised a long time ago, but they are just not grown up yet."
Today, they are also benefiting from this girl. The chickens are raised with vegetables grown by the Empress and the other empresses. They are the only ones outside the palace.
The palace is in chaos at this moment.
"You can't do this! How can you give it to Lin Mo? I am your husband!"
Emperor Xuande wanted to stew a black chicken, but was stopped by the Empress.
The reason given by the queen was that they had already eaten up the quota for this month today, and they had also given away two chickens, so they could not eat any more.
Looking at the furious emperor, the queen said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you want to eat, why don't you just ask the kitchen to make it? The kitchen has chickens, ducks, fish and meat, why do you have to focus on the chickens we raise?"
"You also know that we don't have many chickens. We ate so many today and gave away two more. If we eat more, the number will not be right. The new chicks haven't hatched yet."
Hearing this, Emperor Xuande was so angry that he laughed, "You are partial! Extremely partial! I am the supreme emperor, I can't be inferior to that little girl."
The queen: "You are indeed the emperor, but you are also the emperor with the least money. You let the sisters be self-reliant. Why are you so picky? By the way, you seem to have hidden some money recently, right?" Emperor
Xuande was silent immediately. No, how did the queen know? He just hid a little money.
The queen looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking. After all, they were a young couple who had lived together for so many years. As soon as he raised his butt, she knew what he was talking about.
"It is not good for an emperor to be without money, so Your Majesty, keep the money you have saved. When you give gifts to your subjects, don't always give plaques or something, give some small things."
"Every year, many things are offered as tribute from all over the country. You should not always sell these things for money. Now it is not as tense as before. There is money in the treasury. You should keep what you should keep. The face of the royal family should be maintained."
Emperor Xuande smiled awkwardly and said nothing. Isn't it a habit to sell things every year? Now that he has become rich, he can't correct it in his heart.
Besides, most of the things offered are useless, so it is better to exchange them for some money.
This kind of mentality of a poor man suddenly becoming rich cannot be changed in a short time. No one could have thought that the emperor could be so poor.
The next day, Lin Mo made an appointment with Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren to go out and play early
in the morning. Seeing that she got up early for the rare time, Lin Qi said sarcastically: "You can't get up when I ask you to go to court, but you are quite diligent when going out to play."
His brother is almost becoming her regular mount.
Lin Mo stuffed food in his pocket and said: "How can this be the same? On the one hand, you are working, and on the other hand, you are going out to play. The difference is huge."
"Brother, do you want to go out and play with me? Today we are going to play outside, not in the capital."
Today they plan to go out for an outing. The summer is half over, and the flowers outside are blooming. There is a large lotus pond in the suburbs in the early morning. They are going to play there.
Moreover, many young men and women will go there to play today, which can be considered a date.
Lin Qi thought about his workload and refused at first: "Okay, go by yourself. You don't have anything to do and we still have to work. Just be careful."
"Bai Xiao, please keep a close eye on her for me. Don't let her get into trouble."
Bai Xiao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her and will never let her fall into the lotus pond."
Lin Qi:...Why don't I believe what you said.
When the two of them went out, Hua Kongque and Stupid Beauty were already waiting at the door. Both of them were dressed very energetic today.
Hua Kongque also abandoned his peculiar aesthetics and wore very refreshing clothes today. Stupid Beauty still had the same high standards for her own dress.
"Hey, it's okay to wear it today. Why don't you wear your colorful clothes?"
Lin Mo has already gotten used to seeing his colorful clothes. It might be a disaster for others to wear them, but it looks quite suitable for Flower Peacock. It may also be because he has seen it for a long time and has become accustomed to it. After all,
it's okay no matter what.
Flower Peacock said depressedly: "My parents confiscated my clothes. They said that I can't wear that if I go out to play, otherwise it will embarrass them."
Usually when he wears those clothes in the capital, they don't care so much. Why don't they allow him to wear them today?
"It's okay, it's okay. You look good in it today. It looks very charming."
Lin Mo thought about the adjective for a long time, and finally spit out the word charming.
Hua Kongque, Chen Meimei and Bai Xiao: ...
No! What kind of adjective is that! Can you read more books? What is the meaning of style!
