Chapter 212 Utilization
With Lou Li's company, Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen gradually recovered to normal.
Ahem, her normal routine is to sleep, eat, drink water and listen to opera.
However, she would abide by the rules, watching only one play a day, eating only one bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall a day, and drinking only one cup of sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah seeds, walnut kernels, and spring immortal seagull tea with swan osmanthus, rose and brine, all from Lu'an Sparrow Sheath Bud Tea.
The rest of the time was occupied by Lou Li.
Lou Li would later help Zhu Huaizhen wash and chop vegetables, mix the fillings, and make dumplings together. Zhu Huaizhen liked pork and shepherd's purse dumplings, mushroom and shrimp dumplings, Spanish mackerel and leek dumplings, lamb and celery dumplings, beef and beans dumplings, and so on. Her favorites included Lou Li and Tu Mi.
Lou Li dragged Zhu Huaizhen out to buy hairpins. Why hairpins? Lou Li thought hairpins were more auspicious because they had two strands, just as the saying goes, good things come in pairs.
Zhu Huaizhen had no interest in such things as the silver-gilt bridge hairpin with floral pattern, the gold hairpin inlaid with gems and autumn mountain pattern, the gold hairpin with baby playing with lotus pattern, the hollow fan-shaped silver hairpin, the silver-gilt chrysanthemum pattern hairpin, the silver-footed golden phoenix hairpin, the gold hairpin with engraved floral pattern, the gilt hollow carved flower and bird pattern hairpin, the hollow silver flower hairpin with twined branches and three phoenixes and pomegranate pattern, and the silver-gilt bridge hairpin with floral pattern. He felt they were not as good as dumplings.
Lou Li took Zhu Huaizhen to travel through mountains and rivers to see the chrysanthemums.
Yes, it’s chrysanthemum.
There are red dresses and white snow, golden spear holding osmanthus, red trees halfway along the river, white snow and green plums, misty rain in Huafeng, golden monkey playing with spring, goose feather powder, phoenix spreading its wings, young phoenix in Xiangshan, stunning swans in the remaining snow, etc.
Zhu Huaizhen sighed unhappily, "It's better to eat chrysanthemum fish porridge, chrysanthemum fried kidney, chrysanthemum hot pot, snow chrysanthemum steamed pear soup, chrysanthemum fish and lamb, chrysanthemum mixed with walnuts, chrysanthemum meatballs, chrysanthemum tofu soup, chrysanthemum fried fish balls, and chrysanthemum eel rolls."
"Zhen'er wants to eat it, so I'll try it." Lou Li smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkling.
So Lou Li washed his hands and went to the kitchen, busy all night.
Tu Mi thinks the crispy fried chrysanthemum leaves and chrysanthemum meat are delicious and have a light taste.
Zhu Huaizhen finished a big bowl of chrysanthemum eight-treasure rice, which was soft, glutinous and sweet.
"A-Li, you don't have to accompany me, let's do serious things." Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, his eyes moving.
After delaying Lou Li for so long, the situation in Jiangcheng must have become clear long ago.
To be honest, Zhu Huai really didn't know the significance of Lou Li's existence in Nanchu.
Is it to prevent the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion from becoming more powerful than the master? Well, that's possible.
"Zhen'er, what do you want to do tomorrow?" Lou Li was talking to himself.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen immediately threw down his chopsticks.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Tu Mi asked.
"Tu Mi, go check who the emperor of Southern Chu is and when he ascended the throne." Zhu Huaizhen said angrily.
Zhu Huaizhen finally realized that Lou Li had taken advantage of her.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he has deep affection for Princess Ronghua and would rather abandon the power of Nanchu to protect Princess Ronghua.
"Your Highness, the emperor of Southern Chu was supported by Prince Chen. He allied with the Xiao family of Lanling and enthroned a baby who was still in swaddling clothes. The mother of the baby was just a palace maid with humble status and shallow knowledge." Tu Mi left and returned in less than an hour.
"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Lanling Xiao family is yours, right?" Zhu Huaizhen sneered.
She had wondered at the beginning why Lanling Xiao was a little sensible but did not completely obey her, Zhu Huaizhen's wishes. It turned out that Lou Li was guiding her and figured out Zhu Huaizhen's little thoughts clearly.
"Zhen'er, I admit that I took advantage of you, but you have nothing to ask for, right?" Lou Li smiled coldly, his eyes sinister.
