After finishing the meal, Li Chen waved his hand and asked the serving maids to leave.
This was not the first time for Zhao Rui to be uninvited. When he saw Li Chen's actions, he knew what was about to happen next.
Her pretty face flushed, and she whispered to Li Chen who was walking towards her: "Your Highness, today, I cannot serve your Highness today."
Li Chen was stunned when he heard this.
It shouldn't be.
I just gave Zhao Rui a beating during the day and then promised her family benefits. Why is she still so coy now?
Logically speaking, shouldn't we rush forward to show our gratitude?
"My concubine is having her period..."
Zhao Rui lowered his head and told the truth.
Li Chen's face darkened and he felt a little disappointed.
Looking at Zhao Rui, whose pretty face was slightly red and whose red lips were plump and attractive, Li Chen suddenly had an idea.
Sometimes, you don’t have to take the right path...
Li Chen leaned over and whispered something into Zhao Rui's ear.
Zhao Rui's eyes widened. Following Li Chen's words, a layer of blush spread visibly on her already reddish pretty face, and finally dyed her crystal-clear ears red. This shows what Li Chen said.
What a huge impact it had on her.
"This, this is also okay!?"
Zhao Rui's disbelief was genuine.
In this era, etiquette and law are more important than heaven. Both men and women tend to be conservative, and women regard chastity as more important than life and are unlikely to come into contact with those crooked ways.
But Zhao Rui accidentally met Li Chen.
Li Chen's proposal shattered Zhao Rui's three views...
"Of course it's okay. You can't let me be so helpless."
Li Chen himself became excited. He pulled Zhao Rui up and came to the dormitory. After putting down the curtain, he half leaned on the couch and looked at Zhao Rui with encouraging eyes.
Zhao Rui's face turned red as blood.
She mustered up her courage, stretched out her jade hands tremblingly, gently pressed Li Chen's belt, and then slowly untied it.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why don't I, please go rinse your mouth first..."
Zhao Rui, who wanted to escape before the battle, begged.
Li Chen is on the verge of breaking out, so how can he tolerate Zhao Rui's troubles?
Hearing this, he didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and put it on the back of Zhao Rui's head, pressing it down slowly...
Half an hour later, Li Chen stood up and put on his clothes refreshed.
Zhao Rui covered her slightly numb and almost unconscious cheeks, looking like she was about to cry.
"Your Highness, I will take you to bathe."
Seeing Li Chen getting up, Zhao Rui stood up with difficulty and said.
"No need."
Li Chen said warmly: "Just let the palace maid serve you. You rest first. I have to read the memorial later, so I don't have time to come over."
After finishing speaking, Li Chen left.
That figure looked very much like a scumbag who just left after having a good time.
After taking a bath under the service of several palace maids, Li Chen put on clean clothes and returned to Xi Zheng Palace refreshed.
In the Xi Zheng Hall, the fire was burning brightly, but most of the coal these days contained bituminous coal, so the windows had to be opened for ventilation, otherwise it would choke people to tears in just a quarter of an hour.
Li Chen remembered that there are a large number of high-quality anthracite coal deposits in Xishan Province. Unfortunately, the disaster is serious now, and there are no conditions for large-scale mining and excavation of the deposits at the moment, so we can only wait until later.
After reading the basic memorial, Li Chen frowned slightly.
The most important thing in the country right now is disaster relief, and disaster relief requires food, but there is a very serious problem.
Because natural disasters have lasted for several years, they have become more and more serious, and the worsening of the disaster has directly led to a reduction in grain production.
Even though there is money in the national treasury, it is difficult to buy food in the market.
Hiding profiteers is certainly part of the reason, but the main reason is the reduction in grain production.
The supply is low, but the demand is expanding, resulting in the absurd situation where food is now more expensive than gold.
There are only two ways to fundamentally solve this problem.
In addition, cultivated land will be opened up to increase the area of ​​grain cultivation.
There are also new staple food crops suitable for large-scale planting.
Obviously for the current situation, the latter is the best solution.
