The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

The fact that Lin Mo had robbed the emperor's harem was kept secret by the emperor.

This matter must not be known to outsiders, he still has to save face! As an emperor, all his concubines were taken away by a little girl. If this were to be told to others, wouldn't it be a joke?

So all everyone knew was that Lin Mo came out of the palace with lots of bags and had a particularly happy expression on his face.

That night Lin Mo asked the kitchen to roast the two chickens. The old chicken was used for stewing and the slightly tenderer one was used for boiling.

Looking at the huge table of food, the Lin family members didn't know whether they should start eating.

These are dishes personally prepared by the concubines in the harem. I guess no one except the emperor has ever eaten them.

(Emperor Xuande: I haven’t eaten it many times. I usually rely on stealing vegetables and chickens.)

Lin Mo gnawed on a large chicken wing and said incoherently: "Eat it, why don't you eat it? This chicken is delicious. The stew is very flavorful and the aroma is very fragrant."

Bai Xiao nodded in agreement with his mouth full of chicken, "Yes, yes, this is the real free-range chicken. There are free-range chickens all over the palace. Who can eat such a chicken?"

After hearing what they said, they couldn't eat anymore. This blessing was really too great.

However, they immediately changed their minds after picking up their chopsticks.

Minister Lin took a sip of the chicken soup and sighed comfortably: "This chicken is indeed different from the ones we usually buy. Why don't we raise some chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the farm and have the farm deliver them when we need them."

Mrs. Lin: "You don't need to tell me. I've already raised him, but he just hasn't grown up yet."

I am also benefiting from this girl today. The vegetables and chickens are grown by the Queen and other ladies. They are the only ones outside the palace.

The palace was in turmoil at this moment.

"You can't do this! How can I eat it if I give it to Lin Mo? I am your husband!"

Emperor Xuande wanted to stew a black chicken, but was stopped by the Queen.

The reason the Queen gave was that they had already eaten up today's month's share and had also given away two chickens, so they couldn't eat any more.

Looking at the furious emperor, the queen said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you want to eat, why don't you just ask the imperial kitchen to make it? The imperial kitchen has chicken, duck, fish and meat, why do you have to focus on the chickens we raise?"

"You know we don't have many chickens. They ate so many today and gave away two more. If they eat more, the number won't match. The new chicks haven't hatched yet."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuande was so angry that he laughed, "You are biased! Extremely biased! I am the supreme emperor, I can't be inferior to that little girl."

The Queen: "You are indeed the emperor, but you are also the emperor with the least money. You have allowed the sisters to be self-reliant. Why are you so picky? By the way, it seems that you have hidden some money recently, right?"

Emperor Xuande was silent immediately. No, how did the Queen know? He just hid a little bit of money.

Queen, you can tell what he is thinking by looking at his expression. After all, they have been a young couple living together for so many years. As soon as he lifts his butt, she knows what he is thinking.

"It's not good for an emperor to be without money, so Your Majesty, keep the money you save for yourself. When you give rewards to your subjects, don't always give plaques or something like that. Give some small things as well."

"Don't you always sell these things for money? Now the situation is not as tense as before, and the treasury has money. You should keep what you should keep, and maintain the reputation of the royal family."

Emperor Xuande smiled awkwardly and said nothing. He was used to selling things every year. Now that he became rich all of a sudden, he felt a little bit unable to correct himself.

Besides, most of the things sent over are useless, so it would be better to exchange them for some money.

This mentality of a poor person who suddenly becomes rich cannot be changed in a short time. No one could have imagined that the emperor could be so poor.

The next day was a day off, and Lin Mo made an appointment with Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren to go out and play early in the morning.

Seeing her getting up so early, Lin Qi said sarcastically, "Normally, you can't get up when I ask you to go to court, but you are quite diligent when going out to play."

His brother was almost becoming her regular mount.

Lin Mo stuffed food into his pocket and said, "How can this be the same? One is working and the other is going out to play by myself. The difference is huge."

"Brother, do you want to go out and play with me? We are going to play outside today instead of in the capital."

Today they planned to go for an outing. It was already halfway through the summer and the flowers outside were in bloom. There was a large lotus pond in the suburbs in the early morning and they were going to go there to play.

And today many young men and women will go there to play, which can be considered a date.

Lin Qi thought about his workload and refused directly: "Okay, go by yourself. You don't have anything to do and we still have work to do. Just be careful."

"Bai Xiao, please help me keep a close eye on her and don't let her get into trouble."

Bai Xiao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her and will never let her fall into the lotus pond."

Lin Qi: ...Why don’t I believe what you said?

When the two of them went out, Peacock and Stupid Beauty were already waiting at the door. Both of them were dressed up very smartly today.

Hua Kongque also abandoned his peculiar aesthetic and wore particularly refreshing clothes today. The stupid beauty still had the same high standards for her own dressing.

"Hey, you can wear it today. Why don't you wear your colorful clothes?"

Lin Mo has gotten used to seeing his colorful clothes. It might be a disaster for others to wear them, but this colorful peacock looks quite suitable for him. Or maybe it's because he has seen them for so long that he likes them.

After all, the face is still okay no matter what.

Hua Kongque said depressedly: "My parents confiscated my clothes. They said that if I want to go out to play, I can't wear that, otherwise it will embarrass them."

Normally when he was in the capital, he didn't see them being so strict when he wore those clothes. Why didn't they allow him to wear them today?

"It's okay, it's okay. You look pretty good in this outfit today. You look quite charming."

Lin Mo thought for a long time about an adjective, and finally came up with the word "charming".

Flower Peacock Stupid Beauty and Bai Xiao: ...

No! What kind of adjective is that! Can you read more books? What is style!
