Chapter 20: The considerate Concubine Li Xian
Mr. Sima was so embarrassed to stay after being scolded by the princess.
He apologized to the prince and left, then turned around and picked up the bowl of shaved ice, and then rolled back to Jingmoxuan in front of him in shame.
It was rare to see Mr. Sima, who always talked about nourishing the spirit, being embarrassed. The King of Qin felt more comfortable eating the cool, sour and sweet shaved ice!
"Princess, do you pick so many flowers to make perfume?"
Luo Li stuffed a spoonful of ice into her mouth and showed her ability to make people angry to death.
: "No! I want to be a flower thief. I will pick every flower bud in your palace and send people to throw them into the toilet outside the city, so that the fragrance and stench will spread ten miles away."
"Oh!" King Qin replied indifferently.
"I thought you were going to make perfume, and I wanted to ask Butler Zhao to give you the ten boxes of dragon's birthday incense and camphor incense in the warehouse. It seems that you don't need them."
[Don't! It's necessary, it's necessary! ]
The dog King Qin is really an insidious and black-bellied man! Luo Li felt distressed. How could she take away the ten boxes of treasures after she tasted them for a while?
"My Lord, among the perfumes I made, there is a Dragon's Day scent that is especially suitable for you, and there are also several bottles of extremely precious plum blossom cold scent.
There is also that kind of shampoo, which is particularly refreshing for washing hair and is ten thousand times better than soap. There is also bath soap, and there is a toothpaste and toothbrush that is ten thousand times better than cloth towel and green salt for brushing teeth..."
The King of Qin interrupted Luo Li's temptation and said, "Give me ten of each, and I will eat all my meals every day in Ning Xinyuan."
"Deal!" Luo Li responded without hesitation.
The satisfied King of Qin and the equally satisfied Luo Li spent a rare and harmonious time together.
: "Let Butler Zhao take the princess to the storehouse to get spices later, and pick a few more gifts for the return visit the day after tomorrow."
Luo Li refused without hesitation, "No need for that! I have already prepared the gifts for the return visit the day after tomorrow."
The King of Qin looked at the silly princess and said, "This is my first visit, how can the gifts I bring to my parents-in-law come from your private storehouse?"
"You will also come to my house the day after tomorrow?" Luo Li asked in surprise.
"As a son-in-law, isn't it my duty to go to the return visit?"
Luo Li thought to herself, there are many men who don't go to the return visit! Aren't you a dignified prince, so you shouldn't be pretentious?
After the King of Qin finished a bowl of shaved ice, he told Butler Zhao to take the princess to the storehouse to get spices and return visit gifts, and then returned to Jing Moxuan's study.
Sima Qingyun asked rather awkwardly, "Your Highness, does the princess know that it was me who came up with the idea?"
The corners of the King of Qin's lips curled up, "Mr. Sima, are you guilty of being a thief?"
After lifting his robe and sitting down, he said lightly, "Although the idea was yours, you gave three candidates. It was my idea to choose her, and it had nothing to do with you."
Sima Qingyun was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I'm worried that if the princess has too deep a prejudice against me, the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the future will be..." The King
of Qin's eyes were extremely sharp! "Qingyun! I tell you again, I don't have that intention!"
"Your Highness!..." Sima Qingyun was unwilling and wanted to persuade again.
"Don't mention this matter again!" The King of Qin's tone was light but unquestionable.
…………
The King of Qin walked into Ningxin Garden at dinner time, and came to the small kitchen by smelling the fragrance all the way.
He saw the princess and the master's uncle, each of them chewing a duck leg without any image, and the useless master's uncle was fawning on the princess with a big cattail leaf fan.
Ruhua and Tingting were peeling off layers of paper-thin dough on the small table next to the big iron pot with steam.
Yingchun was cutting a plate of thin melon and scallion shreds.
The whole room was filled with the aroma.
Yingchun looked up and saw the prince and saluted hurriedly: "Prince, why are you in such a place?"
Ruhua and Tingting, Wanqiu and Yingxue who were lighting the fire also stood up and saluted hurriedly.
The King of Qin nodded and signaled that everyone could skip the formalities. "What are you having for dinner?"
Yingchun replied hurriedly, "Roast duck, sweet and sour fish, roast pigeon and some vegetables."
The King of Qin nodded and turned to leave the steaming kitchen. With his stomach drooling, he returned to the room where the ice basin was placed.
Ruhua joked, "It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, why did the prince come to the kitchen today?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor curled his lips, "This brat only pretends to be a humble gentleman after he grew up. He was a greedy kid when he was a kid! When he was learning his skills in the mountains, he often went to the kitchen with me to eat and drink secretly."
Luo Li was a little curious, "Old ghost, you said that the King of Qin learned his skills in the mountains when he was a kid? Didn't he grow up in the palace?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor exposed his nephew's past without any bottom line.
: "When he was three years old, my eldest senior brother took him to the mountain of Penglai Island to learn skills. He left the mountain at the age of twelve. He was very naughty when he was young!
Only two years after he left the mountain, his father, Emperor Taizu, suddenly passed away. When I saw this bad boy again, he became more and more gloomy every year.
Alas! He is almost like a wooden sculpture or a clay sculpture, without any of his original vitality."
Luo Li sighed in her heart!
Alas! How can a teenager be lively and cheerful when his fate suddenly changes so drastically?
What's more, he still has to tremble every day, worrying that his life may be over at any time. Otherwise, how could his brother Zhao Dezhao be frightened by a word from Emperor Taizong!
Luo Li couldn't help but feel a little distressed, then changed her mind.
[Fuck! Why should I feel sorry for the dog King Qin? He forced me to support his back before he died, what a piece of shit!]
The King of Qin was eating roast duck with melon shreds and dipped in flour sauce wrapped in a paper-thin but resilient dough.
The story of how the silly princess chased and scolded the dog King Qin for asking for a divorce letter and turned a nice big garden in the palace into a prairie flew into the palace.
Emperor Taizong and Concubine Li Xian were having dinner, recalling the story they had just heard, and they still couldn't help laughing.
Concubine Li Xian took the tea handed to her by the palace maid, cleaned her mouth, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty, today the Prince of Qin and his wife went to the Yayan Pavilion to offer tea. During the visit, the silly princess and the palace maids and eunuchs were dismissed for about half an hour. I wonder what the mother and son are plotting?" The virtuous wife reported the enemy situation to the emperor.
The emperor also put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth with tea before answering.
: "If the strength does not allow, no matter how much conspiracy there is, it will be useless. What worries me most is the three thousand Mo Yun Cavalry! The
three thousand Mo Yun Cavalry led by Prince Qin repelled the sixty thousand Dang Xiang Iron Cavalry that invaded the Song Dynasty. You know, among the sixty thousand Dang Xiang Iron Cavalry , there were three thousand heavily armored cavalry Iron Hawks!
For him, it is a great military achievement, but for me, it is a big worry!
Taizu originally gave three thousand personal soldiers to his two sons, but it planted two disasters for me, so I have to take great pains to get rid of them as soon as possible before I can feel at ease.
The Eight Wise Kings? Humph! How can I allow other kings to snore beside my bed?!"
Empress Li Xianfei looked at the emperor with admiration and smiled sweetly.
"No matter how wise and intelligent Taizu was, he died at the hands of the emperor. Didn't
Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao, who had three thousand Huoyun riders under his command, commit suicide by slashing his sword after being frightened by a single word from the emperor?
I think Qin Wang Zhao Defang, no matter how brave and invincible he is, will sooner or later be killed by the emperor!"
The emperor was extremely pleased to be admired and praised by his own woman.
He looked proudly at this beloved concubine who had given birth to several children for him, was smart, thoughtful, and still had a charming temperament.
"My beloved concubine, do you also think that Zhao Dezhao was frightened to death by a word from me?"
Concubine Li Xian asked in surprise, "Isn't it? He suggested rewarding the meritorious soldiers, and Your Majesty rebuked him, "You can reward them after you become the emperor", and he was so scared that he committed suicide the next day."
The emperor's eyes were even more proud, "It is true that the King of Wei committed suicide, but I sent someone to help him."
"Ah!" Concubine Li Xian looked at the emperor in surprise and admiration, "Your Majesty is really a man of extraordinary strategy and means!" Then she chuckled.
The emperor also laughed triumphantly, and the feeling of being admired and praised by his beloved concubine made him extremely confident and proud.
This is one of the reasons why he favored the considerate Consort Li Xian among the three thousand beauties in his harem.
In front of Consort Li Xian, he didn't need to pretend, and he could expose all the secrets and filth hidden in his heart without any scruples.
He would not only get the understanding of his beloved concubine, but also the admiration and praise of his beloved concubine. This satisfied a man's dignity and pride, and also satisfied the ambitious self-confidence of an emperor!
