Happy Little Scholar

Dang!

The metal clashed and sparks flew. The old woman with gray hair stepped back a few steps. After stabilizing herself, she looked at the figure in front of her and said with a smile: "I am old. It seems that I can no longer fight with the princess.' "

Li Mingzhu put away her sword, shook her head and said: "Madam, you don't have to let me."

The old woman smiled and shook her head, saying: "Your Highness is talented and diligent in practice. She is making great progress. I am really no match for the princess."

The old woman looked at the tall and mature woman in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

Ten years passed in a flash. The little princess who gritted her teeth and could only perform non-standard moves is now able to stand on her own and even she is not her opponent.

"Princess, princess, the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup was robbed!" The little palace maid ran over and said breathlessly.

"Speak slowly, what's going on." Li Mingzhu walked over and said softly.

"Just now, I went to the Shangshi Bureau to get Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, but when I went there, the princess' soup had already been drunk." The little maid covered her chest and said angrily.

"Who did it?" The old woman came over and asked.

Intrigues in the harem are not uncommon, but the concubines never involve the princess when they are angry with each other. This is the first time.

The little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know his identity, but he said that it's just the princess returning the favor of the bowl of fried rice."

"Fried rice?" Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first."

The little maid nodded, and when she saw the princess walk out of the palace and walk towards the Shangshi Bureau, a smile appeared on her face. That rude guy will definitely suffer.

"It's so bitter." After biting a lotus seed, Li Yi frowned. The chefs in the palace would not do their work carefully. It was obvious that he had forgotten to remove the core of the lotus seed he had just swallowed.

"Why are you here?" A voice came from behind. Li Yi turned around and raised the bowl in his hand to gesture to her, "Would you like a bowl? I'll treat you."

The eunuchs in the yard immediately hid far away, as if they understood why His Majesty treated this Li County Master differently.

There are many viscounts in Kyoto, but this is the only one who dares to talk to the princess like this.

"I only knew about my father's decision yesterday. I was going to tell you in advance, but my father sent someone to convey his order last night. I think there is no difference." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "I will talk to my father about the Shangshi Bureau. Shouning is making a fuss, don't take it to heart."

"Forget it." Li Yi waved his hand. In fact, this made him feel more relaxed.

Cooking a few dishes and making a hot pot is much better than doing other jobs. Compared with the three provinces and six ministries, or the military front, Li Yi feels that this place is more suitable for him. At least the soup in the Shangshi Bureau is more delicious.

Li Mingzhu saw him concentrating on drinking the soup, and felt relieved. She thought he would be dissatisfied because his father forced him to stay in the capital. Now it seems that he doesn't seem to resist it.

I don't know why, after drinking two bowls of soup, not only did I not feel full, but I felt even hungrier.

"I'll make some fried rice, do you want it?" Li Yi stood up and patted his butt, looking at Li Mingzhu and asked.

Her Royal Highness nodded and agreed with Li Yi's proposal.

She hadn't eaten fried rice for a long time.

The head of the Shangshi Bureau was amazed to see that the lord used white rice and eggs to quickly make two plates of fragrant meals, and he and Her Royal Highness were eating outside, and began to worry about his position as the head of the Shangshi Bureau.

"It's a pity that there is no wine." Eating egg fried rice, Her Royal Highness's expression was a little regretful.

Li Yi has only known one person who eats egg fried rice with wine since ancient times.

"Is there no wine in the palace?" Li Yi asked back, and then realized that she should be talking about the strong liquor from Ruyifang.

There may be no shortage of good wine in the palace, but in terms of alcohol content, according to the current technology, it is simply impossible to reach the level of distillation and purification of alcohol.

When it comes to strong liquor, Li Yi realized that the only strong liquor production workshop in the world today is in Qing'an Prefecture. Although there are other places, they also flow out of Qing'an Prefecture, and the price is naturally much more expensive.

The capital is obviously such an undeveloped treasure land. If a few strong liquor workshops can be opened here, it is undoubtedly building a home on a golden mountain.

Moreover, the distance between the capital and Qing'an Prefecture is so far that they will not affect each other's business. Not only that, Ruyi Dew, perfume, soap, these things can be regarded as home routes. There are many more local tyrants in the capital than in Qing'an Prefecture. Are you still afraid of not being able to support a family?

To do business in such a place, the first thing is not to open a shop or a workshop, but to cling to someone.

The capital is not like Qing'an Prefecture, where there are powerful people everywhere. What is a small viscount? There are at least 80 of them in the capital, even if there are not 100. If someone gets red-eye disease, Li Yi can't stand it.

Li Yi looked at his thigh------at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said, "How about we do the liquor business together in the capital? Then, you can drink whenever you want and as much as you want."

Her Royal Highness the Princess agreed to Li Yi's proposal without thinking for long.

First, she really likes that kind of strong liquor, but that thing can only be bought in Qing'an Prefecture, and it is very rare in the capital.

Second, she also knows that this business has huge profits, and even she cannot ignore it, but the capital is deep, and Li Yi alone cannot make it big. Being able to establish a relationship with the royal family can eliminate this worry.

In public and private, she will not refuse to help.

"What do you need, just tell me." When leaving, the princess was full and drunk, and she threw a sentence lightly.

Li Yi likes her straightforward attitude, without a single extra word, and even without talking about the distribution of benefits. She is definitely a person who can be trusted to cooperate with for a long time.

As for the specific matters of cooperation, there is no rush now. Wait until Ruyi and Xiaohuan come and they settle down completely before talking about it.

It is said that the emperor only gave him a set of noble clothes and a card to prove his identity. What about the fiefdom, maids, servants, and mansions------Aren't these all standard? Why have they never been mentioned?

"Hey, little princess, why are you here? Where are the palace maids?" Li Yi's thoughts were interrupted by the palm. He turned his head and saw a girl about six or seven years old standing in the yard in palace clothes.

The little girl's clothes were obviously unusual. She was holding a doll in her arms. She had a doll face and a dull expression on her face. Her eyes were big, clear and bright, but there was no spirit. She didn't speak, and her eyes stared straight into the room.

"Little princess, it's not meal time yet. If you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll send someone to deliver it to you." His Majesty was very strict in disciplining these little princesses and little princes. Even the meal time was set, and the palm dared not break the rules.

Hearing the palm, the little girl also turned around without saying a word and walked out with the doll in her arms.
