we supposed to eat""Now that we finally have an official who built a seawall for us, allowing us to fish in peace for several years, he's been removed from his post. Is this how the imperial court ope...Chapter 1264: Mount Tai Pavilion

"You really are a hard-working, dedicated person."

Li Chen saw Su Jinpa holding a small bowl and sipping the sweet potato porridge with relish, so he chuckled and said, "You didn't eat all those delicacies over there, but you had to squeeze in here with me in this small side hall to drink congee."

What are some good dishes made with mountain delicacies and seafood

Su Jinping wrinkled her nose and said, "Those things are greasy. I don't like them at all. They don't look as fresh and pleasant as this bowl of sweet potato porridge. Eating them won't feel greasy or nauseating, instead, they warm the heart and stomach, very comfortable."

“Speaking of which, Su Jinpa tilted her head and retorted to Li Chen, “Isn’t Your Highness also leaving the mountains and delicacies untouched, just drinking sweet potato porridge here”

"Humph."

Li Chen said angrily, "I say one sentence to you, and you reply with three. Is that reasonable"

Su Jinpao pursed her lips and smiled: "You're wrong, of course it should be topped."

Two people were talking while drinking porridge, and Xiaogzi came back to report.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, all the wealthy merchants attending tonight's banquet have arrived outside Mount Tai Pavilion."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Understood. Is there anything else unusual"

Xiao Waizi took out four gleaming silver ingots from his bosom and told him everything about the bribery he had just experienced at the inn.

Li Chen laughed after hearing this, glanced at Xiaozi and said, "In the court and throughout the palace, both openly and secretly accepting some benefits is called human relations. You don't even understand this"

Xiao Waizi answered seriously: "I don't understand these things. I only know to listen to Your Highness and do Your Highness's things."

Li Chen smiled and asked again, "But you're so oblivious to social graces, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time getting by. No one likes someone who doesn't fit in. You didn't accept the favor, and instead embarrassed them publicly. If this gets out, you'll be ostracized."

Xiaogzi answered without hesitation, “This servant only knows to do well everything the Master commands. As for whether or not to be sociable, it doesn't matter if I don't associate with them.”

When Li Chen heard this, he took two bites of the sweet potato porridge and put down his chopsticks, feeling full. "Haven't you eaten yet Go to the kitchen and get two bowls of sweet potato porridge to drink. This palace gives it to you."

A million bowls of sweet potato porridge, its value is definitely not even a fraction of these four silver ingots, yet Xiaogzi received it as if it were the greatest treasure. He bowed excitedly and said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

Xiao Waizi walked happily, Li Chen turned back and asked Su Jinpa: "How is it"

"It's okay."

Su Jinpa tilted her head and said, “It's just two or three things, and it's not clear yet. Although it seems usable at the moment, the true test of a horse is over long distances, and people's hearts are revealed over time. It still needs time to be truly verified.”

"As expected of my wife, you and I are truly two minds with one heart, our thoughts are exactly the same." Li Chen praised.

Su Jin was embarrassed and indignant, she lifted her skirt and stood up, saying: "I'm going to change my clothes. I don't want to waste time with you right now, you shameless rogue."

At this time, in the front hall, Nangong Shouchong passed through the heavily guarded Donggong, his heart pounding as he walked amidst the piercing gazes of the inner palace guards. He finally arrived at Taishan Pavilion trembling with fear.

To be honest, the furnishings in the Eastern Palace weren't particularly luxurious. More than half of its inhabitants could easily create a more opulent palace if they wished. However, the grandeur and the oppressive weight of history that permeated the Eastern Palace were something no amount of gold or silver could replicate.

Just by walking here, one can feel the overwhelming power and majesty all around. No one dares to cause trouble here.till a preferential price given because I knew the seller.
