The male god Bai Yueguang has a heart for me

Chapter 713 Empress Dowager Please Respect Yourself (32)

Half a year in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry of the Western Regions attacked, and the Xuan Dynasty and the Western Regions had been at war for several months, but Zhong Lingxiu, the princess of the Western Regions, remained in Kyoto.

Countless frontier soldiers died in battle, the Western Regions could not be invaded, and the soldiers of the Xuan Dynasty could not wipe out the Western Regions.

Zhong Lingxiu's status was special, so she was confined to the post house, and she was not allowed to move around outside.

Royal study.

The young emperor is discussing matters with Prince Rong, who has just returned from exile.

"Your Majesty, now that Prime Minister Pei is in power, and his father, Pei Lin, has disciples all over the government and the public, the Pei family may become the second Jiang family, so we have to guard against it."

The aged Prince Rong had gray hair on his temples, even though the place of exile was not very bitter and cold, he was worried about his parents and children, so he looked much older.

Ji Cheng looked at his father for a long time, then he sighed.

"Why don't I know that Pei Zhen has a lot of calls in the court, but the Pei family is not the Jiang family, and Pei Zhen is not the kind of person who uses power for personal gain."

Moreover, Pei Zhen and his wife are kind to him, so he can't be that ungrateful person.

Prince Rong only thought about his son, he was deeply persecuted by the Jiang family, how could he allow the Pei family to become the second Jiang family.

But the emperor's heart was obviously towards Pei Zhen, so Prince Rong didn't say any more.

"The cavalry of the Western Regions are provoking frequently, Your Majesty might as well ask someone to bring the Princess of the Western Regions in Beijing to restrain them."

When mentioning the frontier war, Ji Cheng frowned, "Then who would be more appropriate to bring the princess of the Western Regions there?"

"Pei Xiangxiong is very talented and eloquent. I think he can use this bargaining chip to persuade the Western Regions to negotiate peace."

The little emperor followed his advice. After all, the affairs of the Western Regions were too difficult. Several outstanding generals in the Xuan Dynasty had died under the iron hooves of the Western Regions cavalry, and the people on the border were miserable.

However, during the morning court the next day, the little emperor still asked Pei Zhen for his opinion.

"Weichen will definitely live up to expectations."

The prime minister responded with a gentle voice.
-
Xiangfu.

Xie Yi has recently become obsessed with cooking, but her cooking skills are terrible. She also likes to force Pei Lin and Gu Zhan to try dishes for her.

As soon as Pei Zhen came back from court, his father dragged him to the kitchen and said, "Take your wife away quickly, and don't allow her to approach the important kitchen area in the future!"

"Pei Zhen! Come and try!"

Pulling up her sleeves, Xie Yi, who rubbed some grass dust on her fair face, pushed Pei Zhen to the table.

He picked up the chopsticks, froze for a moment, then pointed to a plate of dark meat on the table, "What is this?"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs." His wife frowned, "It's just burnt in sugar sauce."

Then Pei Lin saw that Pei Zhen bravely took a piece and put it in his mouth, and said without changing his face: "It's delicious, if Ah Wu practiced more, it might taste even better."

The delicate eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched, Xie Yi picked up the plate of burnt sugar crispy pork ribs and approached Pei Lin, "Father, Pei Zhen said it was delicious, you should try it too."

Pei Lin said with a straight face: "Can I refuse?"

"No, it's for your daughter-in-law to respect you."

"..."

While Pei Lin was still struggling, Pei Zhen handed him a pair of clean chopsticks.

As soon as he was cruel, he gritted his teeth and put a piece of meat with chopsticks into his mouth.

All of a sudden, various tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy burst out on the tip of his tongue, and finally he was covered by a thick burnt smell, which almost made him spit it out.

However, his good son covered his mouth and said to his daughter-in-law: "Ah Wu, Dad likes to eat so much that he was so moved that he cried."

Pei Lin: "..."

Is it too late for him to strangle his son to death now?

"Then I'll make more for you, I'll make it for dinner tonight!"

Xie Yi excitedly called the maid to go outside to process the ingredients.

Pei Lin pushed Pei Zhen away, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and spat out the unspeakable sweet and sour pork ribs.

"You bastard!"

Just after angrily reprimanded, Pei Zhen handed him a bank note.

Ok?
1 million taels?

Pei Lin accepted it silently, then patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Your wife is quite talented in cooking."
