My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Sure enough, after the sweet and sour pork and fried potato chips were served.

The sweet and sour smell filled the whole room.

It's so stimulating that people keep drooling.

The emperor took a bite and frowned at first, but his brows immediately relaxed.

It can be seen that Concubine Xiao also likes this kind of food.

As for the French fries, only the Fourth Princess and the Sixth Prince liked them.

It was rare for the emperor to eat half a bowl of rice at night.

After the meal was cleared away, a person brought a bowl of tea. The fourth princess rolled her eyes and walked around to the emperor: "Father, is this pot-wrapped pork delicious?"

The emperor nodded, and without even raising his eyes, he knew what the fourth princess wanted to do.

"Then if the emperor is happy with it, should he be rewarded?"

The emperor raised his eyes and said with a smile, "You deserve a reward! How about this: I'll reward the chef who made this sweet and sour pork today with ten taels of silver."

Someone immediately went to give a reward.

The Fourth Princess continued to coax him: "Father, are you only going to reward the cook?"

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Oh, thank you for letting our Changle enjoy the delicious food and remembering Father and Mother. Then give Changle the red jade bracelet that was presented as tribute yesterday."

The fourth princess was delighted and after thanking for the reward as usual, she still remembered the important business.

"Then, what about the most important contributors? For example, the Princess of Le'an who contributed the recipe, should she also be rewarded?"

The emperor looked at the Fourth Princess with a half-smile. "Oh, then, what kind of reward does Changle think would be good? Or rather, what kind of reward would Princess Le'an like?"

When the Sixth Prince heard this, he felt something was wrong.

He tried his best to wink at the Fourth Princess.

The Fourth Princess happened to have her back to him and didn't see anything. Instead, she pouted and looked distressed. "I asked Le An what reward she wanted, but she didn't want anything! Father, you don't know. Le An told me that I am her eldest daughter-in-law and the best friend in the world. Apart from her husband, she can give me anything she wants, as long as she has it!"

"Alas, she is so attentive to me, I feel a little embarrassed——"

The emperor and Concubine Xiao exchanged glances and said, "My daughter, you look so happy. You don't look embarrassed, but rather very proud."

"So I also thought about giving Le An something. I can't let her take my eldest daughter-in-law for nothing, right? I remember that I own a large house with five courtyards, which is located on Zhuque Street near the imperial palace. I want to give this house to Le An."

"You don't know, when I went to Le'an's house today, I never saw such a small house. It only has two entrances, and so many people are staying there, how can they live there? It must be that the Ningping Marquis's Mansion was stingy and didn't give Le'an and her family a big house, so they live so cramped."

"How can my best daughter-in-law live in such a small place? But if I give it to Le An, she will definitely not want it. I thought, why don't you, Your Majesty, issue an edict and give it to Le An, so that she will have no choice but to accept it!"

After saying this, he looked at the emperor expectantly.

In the eyes of the Fourth Princess, this was too simple. It was just a decree issued in the name of the emperor, and he was not required to produce anything.

Even Concubine Xiao and the Sixth Prince looked at the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then, looking at the Fourth Princess's expectant gaze, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why?" The fourth princess was also anxious.

"Because of Le'an's husband, Fu Zhiyi will be sent out soon." The emperor said this.

The expressions of the Sixth Prince and Concubine Xiao changed.

But the Fourth Princess still didn't understand: "What does Le'an's husband's being exiled have to do with Le'an? It's fine for her husband to go by himself. It's just right for Le'an to stay. It would be best if she could come to the palace to accompany me--" The more she thought about it, the happier she became.

The emperor smiled and looked at his silly daughter: "If Le An agrees to stay in the capital, you don't have to give up that big house. I will personally reward Le An with a county lady's mansion!"

The Fourth Princess was about to cheer when the Emperor continued, "But if Le An wants to be exiled with her husband, this house will naturally be gone."

Concubine Xiao lowered her eyelids and curled the corners of her mouth slightly, but soon it returned to its upward curve.

The Fourth Princess, on the other hand, clapped her hands and said, "I'll go find her now. If not, I'll go find Le An tomorrow and ask her to stay in the capital with me."

The Sixth Prince couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "How can you be sure that Princess Le'an won't follow her husband into exile?"

The fourth princess said confidently, "Le'an is not stupid! It would be much better to stay in the capital. If you are sent out, you won't be able to eat or sleep well. How can it be half as good as the capital? Besides, if you stay in the capital, you can get a county lady's mansion. Only a fool would want to go out of the capital and suffer hardships instead of staying in the capital to enjoy the good life."

The emperor smiled and stood up: "Okay, then I will wait for you to ask Princess Le'an and tell me the answer."

After saying this, he glanced at the Sixth Prince and said, "We've already eaten, and the palace gates are almost locked. Are you still staying in the palace to wait for a midnight snack?"

The Sixth Prince shuddered: "I will leave immediately, I will leave immediately——"

Tsk tsk, as my father gets older, he becomes more suspicious and won’t let his grown son stay overnight in the palace.

After saying this, he bowed and hurriedly said goodbye and left the palace.

Of course, the fourth princess could not leave the palace the next day because she had to go to school.

Between being punished with copying on a stick by the teacher and being sent to the county lord's mansion in the main room, she chose to let the palace maid beside her leave the palace to pass on the news to Lu Zhenzhen.

Today, the Fu family entertained some relatives and friends who came from far away.

Those who could still come to warm the house at this time were all people with whom he had a good relationship, and they were not alienated because Fu Zhiyi was demoted and separated from the Ningping Marquis Mansion.

Especially several of the third master's playboy friends, quite a few of them also came.

In their own words, they were playboys, and the family could not count on them. They did not need to make progress and had no ambitions. They had been playboys together for decades. If the third branch committed the serious crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the family, they would not dare to have any contact with them. At most, they would help collect the bodies in the end.

But since it's such a small matter, it won't hinder their communication at all.

Hearing these words, one doesn't know whether to be moved or angry.

Anyway, the third master mocked them for a few words, and then he said, "You pulled me, so I hit you twice," and then he walked into the yard with a smile.

As for the female members, their status is not as high as Lan and Lu Zhenzhen. Putting aside other things, Lu Zhenzhen's status as the county lord can at least make them respectful on the surface.

As a result, before the banquet even started and while he was admiring the flowers with the female relatives, the fourth princess's maid arrived.

Lu Zhenzhen thought the Fourth Princess had something to say, so she quickly invited her in.

Walking aside, before Lu Zhenzhen could ask, the palace maid told her everything that the Fourth Princess wanted to say, including the whole conversation between her and the Emperor yesterday, the cause and effect.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhenzhen, waiting for her reply.

Lu Zhenzhen was both angry and amused. What was going on?

But there were guests nearby, so this wasn't the time to discuss this. He could only patiently say, "Sister, you see, I have guests at home, and I can't neglect them just yet. Let's put it this way. What the princess is talking about is of great importance, and I can't make a decision right now. How about giving me a few days to think about it, and then I'll go to the palace and speak to the princess myself?"

The palace maid saw that the situation at the Fu family today was indeed inappropriate, nodded, and left.
