Chapter eight hundred and forty-five the emperor went to sea
Liu Mingzhi felt happy that someone finally came to rescue him. This kind of pins and needles situation was really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, please!"
Liu Mingzhi drank the wine in his glass and turned around to look at the palace door. He saw the third princess, dressed in Luanfeng palace attire, walking lightly towards the palace.
"My son, Li Yan, pays homage to his mother!"
"Get up quickly, no need to be polite!"
"My sister, Li Yan, meets the prince's brother!"
"Yan'er, you don't need to be polite. You are pregnant. You don't need to be polite when you see my brother in the future!"
The third princess gave Liu Dashaofu a gift with a sweet smile: "I have met your husband!"
Liu Mingzhi immediately stood up and helped the third princess to sit aside: "We, the couple, don't need to be polite. You are still pregnant. You can't do this again!"
The third princess nodded happily: "I know, but don't you think it's strange that there are too many people? Isn't this what you always say, husband?"
"Then it's time to score points, so you don't need to be so polite as your husband!"
Nangong Meng felt extremely happy when she saw the three princesses, Liu and Dashao, looking respectful to each other.
She used to worry about whether her daughter would be wronged if she married into the Liu family as Fu Zhengping's wife.
Although the daughter is a princess, after all, she is married as a wife and must abide by the etiquette of women. If the head wife puts small shoes on her, she will not be able to help her.
Seeing her daughter's happy appearance now makes her satisfied. Nangong Meng has no doubt that Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi are acting for her.
The look of happiness on the third princess's face and the sweet look in her eyes cannot be faked. Only those who come from the heart can have this look.
Li Baiyu also looked at Liu Mingzhi and his wife with envy. Although he had several concubines, the position of the principal concubine was always vacant.
Li Baiyu also knew that his father had chosen the little princess of the Yun family as the candidate for the crown prince's concubine, but Li Baiyu couldn't figure out why Yun Xiaoxi had already been married for more than a year and why his father had not granted marriage to the two of them.
Li Baiyu, who grew up studying in the Imperial College, has a good sense of Yun Xiaoxi. Although the reputation of the little overlord is known throughout the capital, he is indeed a good person in private.
She has the status and appearance to become a crown prince and concubine.
As for the matter of love between two people, Li Baiyu has never thought about it. Does he have any choice if he is born in the royal family?
It's really not easy to have a girl who knows your roots and is a good match. If you want to be like the common people, you don't even have to think about it.
If the family is well matched, marrying a virtuous wife is what a prince should do.
In layman's terms, it means marrying into the Yun family and consolidating the imperial power of the Li family. After all, Yun Yang, Duke of Jing of the Yun family, is one of the few remaining elders of the two dynasties with great achievements.
"Yan'er, drink some lotus seed soup, it's good for your health!"
"Thank you, husband!"
The third princess held the spoon and looked at Nangong Meng curiously: "Mother, why did you remember to summon your son to the palace for dinner today?"
Nangong Meng glanced at the third princess helplessly: "You heartless little thing, even if you say you will marry your husband, you can't even want to see the queen mother, right?"
"Mother, Yan'er is not the case! The imperial doctor said that I should not run around during this critical period as it might cause fetal distress. I don't know who was so eager to drive him away because he came back from abandoning me?"
The queen rolled her eyes at the third princess: "You little thief, you still have the nerve to say, where are all the phoenix robes in the dressing room at the queen mother's side? The expenses at the queen mother's side are already low. You come here only once and it's okay for other girls."
When you come home, you always honor your parents and give them things, but you have to come back empty-handed every time in half a carriage. Can the queen not bother you?"
What Nangong Meng is talking about is that the third princess always looks at Young Master Liu, and her meaning is clear. Besides, your family is extremely wealthy, and you still let your daughter come to this palace to get things done. How shameless!
The third princess laughed playfully: "Are you worried that Sister Yun's phoenix robe has not been replaced? Who made your father so stingy as a reward for a phoenix robe?"
"My daughter is outgoing, the ancients never deceived me!"
Nangong Meng's tone of voice was doting on the third princess.
The third princess chuckled and took a few mouthfuls of the porridge water in the bowl: "I thought this porridge was delicious before, but now it's not as delicious as the porridge cooked by my husband!"
Li Baiyu was startled and shook the folding fan in his hand: "Little sister, what you think tastes good is not the porridge, it tastes good because your brother-in-law cooked the porridge! You are not ashamed at all!"
"My little sister is happy, but can you care about my husband's love for me? If you are able, you can ask the emperor's sister-in-law to cook porridge for you!"
Liu Mingzhi happily watched the third princess bickering with the prince. As long as the issue of taking sides was not discussed, the young master was willing to listen to any conversation.
Seeing with satisfaction that the third princess was speaking eloquently and the prince was speechless, Young Master Liu felt extremely proud.
How about marrying a virtuous wife? How many brain cells have you wasted on a virtuous housekeeper, fighting wits with the prince and the empress, pretending to be stupid?
Nangong Meng looked at the smile in Young Master Liu's eyes and sighed slightly. It seemed like a mistake to invite Yan'er to eat together.
"Husband, my skills are so bad!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll feed you husband, come and drink slowly, be careful not to burn it!"
The two men, Liu and Young Master, exuded the sour smell of love, which made Prince Li Baiyu eat all the dog food.
Young Master Liu is also willing to go all out. As long as we don't talk about where we stand, just show affection and show affection. There are no outsiders anyway!
Haijin Town, later Tianjin Port.
The sea breeze is gentle, and seagulls soar in the sky and fly low over the sea from time to time.
The remote and desolate Haijin Town, which originally had only a thousand households, became prosperous at some point.
Everyone in Haijin Town knows that the prosperity of Haijin Town is due to the arrival of Mr. Li. Mr. Li's identity is mysterious and unusual, and no one knows his situation.
I only know that Mr. Li is very rich and extremely kind to others. He is as cheerful as if he had picked up money when he meets everyone.
When Mr. Li first came to Haijin Town, he even asked a five or six-year-old child to eat sesame cakes. He said that the freshly baked sesame cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are even more delicious than delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The people of Haijin Town make a living by fishing, and even if they have never tasted seafood, they are reluctant to eat it, because if they sell it to rich people, they can use it to make money for their homes.
People in Haijin Town who had never tasted delicacies from the mountains and seas all thought Mr. Li was just joking!
"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm going fishing again. Why do you always like to eat these sesame cakes that ordinary people eat when you are so rich?"
Mr. Li was dressed in coarse linen clothes and carried a delicate fishing rod on his back. He nodded cheerfully at the blacksmith who was asking the question and shook the sesame seed cake in his hand: "Wu Gouzi, are you willing to eat sesame seed cakes every day?"
"What you're saying is that there are eight big biscuits that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. How can we be willing to eat them? We can't save money to earn money for our children to study!"
"Well, money is not enough, Wu Gouzi, I tell you that you have children and grandchildren here, so you can't let yourself go without food and clothing for the sake of your children, right? You have made a lot of money after being here for so long, what's the matter? Are you planning to save money?
Do you want to take a concubine?"
Wu Gouzi couldn't help but touched the scar on his face and shook his head: "This is all thanks to your old age! As for whether you want to take a concubine or not!"
Behind the stove where Wu Gouzi was forging iron, a healthy-skinned lady named Xiaojiabiyu stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Old Li Tou, you bully me and my man to be honest again, aren't you? You're such a crooked thing, and you try to trick my men into taking concubines every day. You're not afraid of thunder and lightning! You've been thinking about concubines all day long. You're already old, below.
Is that thing okay?"
Mr. Li looked embarrassed and pointed at the woman: "Shrew, shrew, I am too ashamed to argue!"
Seeing Mr. Li running away, the woman laughed up and down. After she calmed down, she grabbed Wu Gouzi's ear and said, "Master, I can tell you, don't think too much!"
"Yes, yes, pearl, don't worry!"
"Oh, I have to say that Mr. Li is good at everything, but he has such a mean mouth. I don't know where he came from!"
"I see you, sir!"
Mr. Li stopped in his tracks and looked at the chief manager in front of him in astonishment.
"Old Zhou, why are you here? Did he leak the news about me going to sea?"
