My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 345 Think carefully and don’t regret it——
After saying this, Lu Zhenzhen knelt down again very swiftly and kowtowed three times to the emperor devoutly and seriously.
The emperor had never heard such sincere and simple gratitude.
The usually cold and hard heart was moved for a moment.
At the same time, he signaled for someone to help Lu Zhenzhen up.
While saying, "Why come to this! Hurry up and get up! I am only rewarding you according to your merits! Just accept it calmly!"
At the same time, he turned around and sighed to the imperial concubine: "This Princess Le'an is a very honest child——"
Concubine Xiao, who was no ordinary person, immediately agreed with a smile, "That's right! Le An is a child. Everything else is fine. But I like her because she never forgets her roots and never forgets her gratitude!"
"This child is simple and honest, and he doesn't say anything high-sounding. He thinks of us even if he has a little something. The things are fine, we have seen a lot of things, but this kind of thought is really rare!"
As she spoke, a hint of tenderness appeared in Concubine Xiao's eyes: "So you can't blame me for loving her. It's really such a child, she deserves to be pitied!"
It is unknown what the emperor was thinking.
But his expression was softer, which everyone could see.
The fourth princess immediately rushed forward, trying to take advantage of her father's good mood to coax the dried fruits and vegetables back to her.
She also tried to promote her half-sister to the rank of princess.
"Father, look at how thoughtful Princess Le'an is. She even thought of us when she prepared food. In consideration of this kindness and the food, you must give us some kind of reward, right?"
The emperor looked at the fourth princess with a half-smile, "Oh, but I remember these things were given to you and your daughter by the Princess of Le'an. I didn't get any of them, did I?"
It's broken! The fourth princess is stuck.
Lu Zhenzhen couldn't bear the blame and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to offer it to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty's health cannot tolerate any carelessness. Moreover, I don't know Your Majesty's food taboos, so I dare not offer it."
"If Your Majesty truly likes my humble cooking skills, I will leave the recipe with you and have the chefs in the imperial kitchen prepare it for Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Princesses! This will be much cheaper."
The Fourth Princess nodded frantically, "That's right! Besides, didn't you eat it too, Father? Otherwise, why don't you take your hands off the beef jerky and dried fruits and vegetables before you say this?"
After hearing what the fourth princess said, the emperor deliberately took another piece and put it in his mouth, which made the fourth princess so angry that she turned into a puffer fish.
I knew that if I continued teasing her, I would probably make the little girl cry.
Then he withdrew his hand and said, "Forget it! Since my Changle has personally asked for a reward for you, and I have also accepted your filial piety, it would be unreasonable not to reward you in kind! Tell me, what do you want?"
When the fourth princess heard this, she immediately winked at Lu Zhenzhen and silently mouthed, "Princess, Princess——"
The emperor clearly noticed the fourth princess's little move, but he pretended not to see it and looked at Lu Zhenzhen with interest.
Lu Zhenzhen waved her hands quickly: "This little bit of food is just a small token of my filial piety. There's no need for reward! Besides, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the Princess have already given me enough rewards on a daily basis. I really don't need any more!"
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Have you thought it over? Do you really not want a reward? Today is a rare opportunity. As long as you ask, I might agree. Think carefully and don't regret it-"
Lu Zhenzhen shook her head. "As a subject of His Majesty's, it is my duty to present the delicious food I have to the Lord of the World. This is my duty and my own! Everything I have done comes from my heart, so I really don't need any reward!"
A hint of smile finally appeared in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He stood up and said, "Since you say so, I will gladly accept your filial tribute!"
As he spoke, he ordered, "Take all these dried meats, fruits and vegetables away for me—" As soon as he finished speaking, he met the resentful eyes of Concubine Xiao and the Fourth Princess.
He touched his nose and said, "Take half, take half away—"
Although the Fourth Princess was still a little sad, at least she was able to save half of it, which was better than being taken away by her father.
Besides, Lu Zhenzhen left the recipe for a while, so it won’t be difficult to eat it again in a few days.
Carrying the looted dried meat, fruits and vegetables, the emperor left with a full sense of accomplishment.
As soon as the emperor left, the fourth princess went from being nearly dead to being alive and well. She jumped up to Lu Zhenzhen, a look of disappointment on her face: "You, you couldn't even seize the opportunity I gave you! Didn't you see the hint I gave you, telling you to go find your father and have him make you a princess?"
"Now among the three of us, I am a princess, Qingning is a county lady, and you are the only one who is a county lady! You don't know how stingy my father is with titles. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to get promoted in the future!"
Concubine Xiao glared at the Fourth Princess. "How dare you say anything? Is your father stingy? He's cautious! If you keep talking nonsense, go copy the palace rules for me ten times!"
The fourth princess covered her mouth and kept silent, but she seemed to be unconvinced, and stared at Lu Zhenzhen with angry eyes.
Lu Zhenzhen was both amused and touched, and comforted the Fourth Princess: "Princess, I know you are doing this for my own good! But I am just a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. To be granted the title of County Princess is already a great favor from His Majesty! One must cherish blessings and know one's own limitations! I am already very satisfied!"
"Besides, His Majesty didn't promote me any further because he was thinking about me! Now that I'm a county lady, maybe some people might say something behind my back or feel jealous of me, but that's not a big deal."
"But if I receive a promotion without any merit, I'm afraid many people will be upset! Your Majesty has always been cautious in bestowing titles. So many royal family members have not received any for years, yet you've shown me such special favor. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, and it will become a disaster."
"Your Majesty is truly the best and wisest ruler in the world. Even in such a trivial matter, he remembered to worry that excessive rewards would bring disaster to your servant. Such thoughtfulness, such a keen eye for the people, and such unwavering consideration for the interests of his subjects are truly rare!"
"So I can only be grateful to Your Majesty and will never feel any regret! So Princess, please stop speaking up for me and don't misunderstand Your Majesty! Your Majesty's mind is as vast as the ocean, and he has to consider every aspect of a problem, which is already very difficult!"
After hearing this, the fourth princess bit her lip and said nothing for a long time.
Even Concubine Xiao looked at Lu Zhenzhen with a hint of admiration.
He sighed, "My little fourth daughter has been spoiled by me and her father. She always speaks and acts according to her own preferences and doesn't care about other people's expressions at all. It's really frustrating——"
