The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 79 The Emperor's Bad Intentions

Zuihualou’s dishes need to be constantly developed in order to capture the hearts of guests.

Jiang Wu is very talented, a good cook, and good looking, but he's a little dull and likes to tinker in the kitchen by himself.

Every time I frowned and thought, I knew that Zuihualou was going to launch new dishes.

In order to reduce his hair loss, Hu Luanfei left two lines of words in the vending machine, asking the other party to collect a few menus of famous chefs.

After staying in the space for about a quarter of an hour, she took a box of milk and returned to the house. She happened to meet Qi Siriao who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was so scared that she almost fell down.

"Why did you come back so soon?!"

She felt quite guilty and did not dare to face him.

Even though Qi Si Liao was confused, he kept his promise and did not ask. Instead, he responded expressionlessly: "You know that I am very efficient."

"Uh...then you..."

"I won't ask, just come back."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and even the silver light of the autumn moon could not dispel it. Under the flickering candlelight, his slightly aggrieved face was reflected, as if he was heartbroken by her accidental disappearance.

"Um...I brought you a box of milk..."

"You gave birth?"

After he finished speaking, he realized what was going on and quickly slapped himself in the face.

Hu Luanfei blushed and said in a low voice, "I don't have that ability."

Can this fool speak?

As night falls, the temperature gradually decreases and a cool breeze blows.

Ignoring the awkwardness between the two, Hu Luanfei told him about the milk-making process. Since he had never seen it with his own eyes, he was stunned and very confused.

Hu Luanfei was too lazy to explain. He was exhausted after a busy day and was so sleepy that he fell into bed and couldn't get up.

However, there are always people who can't sleep because of her weirdness.

Qi Siliao held the milk bottle and stared at her calm face, then he bent his index finger and gently stroked her face.

"Tell me, what should I do with you?"

There was a look of extreme reluctance in his eyes.

He is not the only one who knows how good she is. Qi Sili, who is far away, still misses her.

If they don't go back, Qi Sili will definitely find an excuse to come to Menghu Mountain. If Qi Sili insists on taking her away at that time, can he protect her alone?

I’m afraid not. Who in the world can fight against the emperor?

I have one more thing on my mind.

There was a slight noise outside the door. Qi Siliao got out of bed and went out with the milk.

Several brothers he brought back from the battlefield lined up in the middle of the yard. Jiang Shi was the youngest among them, and his eyes were sharp. The moment he saw him leave, he rushed in like a gust of wind that snatched the milk away.

"One bottle per person." Qi Si Liao was disappointed, "The princess has something for you to do."

Jiang Shi, who was distributing milk, turned back in confusion, "What do you want, Madam?"

“Go catch insects in the sorghum field.”

"Hmm? What kind of bugs are you catching?"

"locust."

"Are you kidding me, Madam?" The milk in Jiang Shi's hand suddenly lost its fragrance. Those were locusts, in piles and nests. How could they be caught unless they were burned with fire?

Qi Si Liao threw a few sacks at him and told him seriously, "When has your princess ever lied to you? By the way, she said she wanted him alive."

"Ah? What is she coming for?"

"Eat." The simple words were shocking.

Jiang Shi was not the only one who was surprised. The other brothers all said in unison: "Is the queen so hungry?"

Recalling the time when they were fighting on the battlefield and had no food or fodder, they did not have to eat locusts.

Qi Si Liao knew that they had the same idea as him, so he held his forehead and waved his hand, "She said it has high nutritional value and can cure diseases."

What nutrients can locusts provide?

Even though they didn't say it, Qi Si Liao also understood what they were thinking. However, seeing someone questioning his wife, he couldn't help but feel unconvinced, so he patiently brainwashed them, "What the princess said is probably true. We have come all the way here, isn't it clear?"

Other things are easy to say, but eating bugs...how to eat them!

Let’s get back to the point.

Jiang Ling stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, there has been a big commotion in the capital city recently."

"tell me the story."

Jiang Ling told the results of his investigation in detail, "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and many noble ladies from small border countries are coming to attend. The Emperor..."

Qi Siliao was intimidating without getting angry, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"The Emperor intends to grant you a few beauties..."

"Oh... he does want to."

Jiang Ling lowered his head at this moment, and spoke in a low voice, "He has already made arrangements, and the beauty is on the way."

"Bang!" A bottle of milk was crushed in Qi Siliao's hand, and all the brothers immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Qi Si Liao almost gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "I know exactly what he is thinking. Send them back!"

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Ling raised his head with a complicated expression, "The Emperor has issued a death order. If Your Majesty returns those beauties, he will order them to be executed."

The meaning is very clear. The lives of those women are in Qi Siliao's hands. If he lets go, they will surely die. It is true that a man cannot be a hero without being cruel.

The door behind him was blown open by the wind, and a blurry figure walked out. This person was dressed lightly, with loose hair, and his every move showed laziness. The men in the moonlight were all stunned, staring at the figure next to the door in amazement.

"What are you discussing at this hour of night...ah!"

The words were still half in his throat when he was blown back into the house by a hurricane.

Qi Si Liao pulled the quilt over her and scolded her angrily: "Stupid woman, there are only men outside, and you don't know how to restrain yourself."

"What? I just wanted to get up and drink some water. I heard you guys talking outside so I opened the door to check. I didn't know you would be angry."

Can you not be angry?

The thin clothes could not cover her vaguely visible body. The eyes of those stinky men who had no wives were wide open, but she was still unaware of it. How ridiculous!

Hu Luanfei ignored his anger, wrapped in the quilt and fell back on the bed, drowsy, "I heard that the emperor sent you another beauty?"

Last time it was Wen Ruoxue, and with Jiang Ling’s help in blocking it, the matter was resolved perfectly.

Qi Siliao suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Why don't you allow me to retreat? Qi Sili is tired of sitting on the throne."

"Why go back? If you want, I will arrange for you to take a concubine."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Qi Si Liao raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth to force out two words, "We agreed to be a couple for life, you are really virtuous."

"Otherwise, we should retreat and let them die?"

Being unable to advance or retreat is undoubtedly a thorny problem.

Qi Si Liao was not sure what she was thinking, so he asked tentatively, "Would you mind if I asked them to stay and help with the work?"

"I don't mind if you take a concubine."

again!

Qi Siriao's face suddenly darkened, thinking back to what happened with Jiang Huizhen and Wen Ruoxue before. She had put herself through a lot of trouble, and if she let those beauties live and eat together, it would probably only take a thought to turn things around.

"Prince!" Several brothers outside suddenly shouted, and Qi Siliao suddenly came up with an idea.
