Chapter 392 He Now Has a Princess
"Auntie, you are so amazing. It is a great honor for my uncle to marry you."
Li Mulan picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling for him and said, "This little mouth is so sweet. Come, have a big shrimp dumpling."
"Thank you, Auntie Huang."
Li Xi, who was standing by, looked on with some envy, but as he was too old to compete with the kids, a large shrimp dumpling immediately appeared in his bowl.
As soon as Li Xi raised his eyes, he saw Li Mulan's smiling eyes, "Eat quickly, the shrimp dumplings in the kitchen are quite good."
"Thank you sister."
Gu Changqing watched the people coming and going, and suddenly felt empty in his heart. Should he also find a wife? At least then there would be someone who would care about him?
Chu Jie came over, firstly to learn about the down jacket that Xing Si mentioned, and secondly because he really hadn't seen Aunt Huang for several days and missed her very much.
After the meal, Li Mulan asked him to try on the down jacket. Currently, only one set of adult down jackets was made, so Chu Jie would definitely not fit him, but he still saw its warmth retention.
Chu Jie smiled so much that his fangs were exposed. "Auntie, this clothing is great. It's light and warm, and it's inexpensive. It's perfect for the army. I've heard from Xing Yi before that winter at the border is hard to endure. Now, my uncle and his men will have an easier time. Auntie is so good to my uncle that she can come up with such a good idea. I heard there's ginger tea and frostbite cream?"
Li Mulan rubbed his head and said, "I am not only doing this for your uncle, but also for the two hundred thousand soldiers at the border. They are fighting for the country and cannot suffer too much because of these external factors. It is not worth it."
Chu Jie nodded, "With these, the soldiers at the border will suffer less."
The little emperor stroked the down jacket, his eyes full of love, "Aunt, I also want a down jacket like this, it must be very warm to wear."
"Yes, I asked my mother to make two for each person."
Chu Jie's eyes lit up, "Really? Mine too?"
"Of course, yours won't be left out."
"Hehehe, the Imperial Aunt is the best. She always thinks of me in everything."
Li Mulan pinched his face and said, "Didn't we say we are a family? Why is our emperor starting to be so formal?"
"No, no, we are just a family."
Gu Changqing, who was standing by, got goose bumps all over his body when he saw the innocent, lively, and lovely emperor. In recent days, the little emperor has grown up very fast and has become more and more like Chu Chenfeng. After all, he was the one who brought him up, and his ruthlessness is especially similar to Chu Chenfeng. Gu Changqing follows him all day long, so he is naturally the one who knows the most.
So seeing such a little emperor now really made him a little uncomfortable.
On the way back to the palace, in the carriage, the little emperor returned to his usual serious and solemn self, with a stern face, and he was quite intimidating.
This change seems to have started after discovering Xiao Linzi's betrayal. Afterwards, the young emperor also had someone investigate. Xiao Linzi had a younger brother in the countryside. Xiao Linzi was sent to the palace to be a eunuch because his family was too poor to raise two children. So his parents thought of sending one to the palace. At that time, Xiao Linzi volunteered to enter the palace and left all the money he earned to his family. He doted on this younger brother very much.
So King Cheng used his brother to threaten him and asked him to provide information. In fact, Xiao Linzi's brother disappeared on the third day after being captured by King Cheng, and Xiao Linzi was kept in the dark from beginning to end.
"Uncle Gu, has my uncle written to my aunt recently?"
Gu Changqing was stunned. "Um... I haven't heard of this. It should be... No, after all, the prince just arrived at the border, and there have been incidents one after another. I guess the prince should not have time to write a letter."
Chu Jie frowned, "No matter how busy you are, you can't forget to write to the Queen Aunt. The Queen Aunt thought about him all day long, gave him a down jacket, frostbite cream and ginger tea, but he didn't even write a letter back? Humph, this is too much."
Gu Changqing touched his nose and said, "Then...do you want me to remind the prince?"
"Forget it, I'll do it, hey."
Not only does he have to deal with government affairs every day, but he also has to worry about the relationship between the emperor's uncle and aunt. There won't be another nephew like him in the world, right?
Sure enough, Chu Chenfeng at the border received a letter from Chu Jie a few days later.
At this moment, Chu Chenfeng no longer had the vigor and vitality he had in Kyoto. He seemed to have lost some weight, but his expression was extremely gentle. Even Xing Yi, who was sorting out materials for him in the tent, glanced at him unconsciously. Then, he couldn't help but asked, "Master, is there any good news?"
Chu Chenfeng raised his lips, "Well, there is good news. The princess knows that winter at the border is tough, and fearing that the king would suffer, she actually made a down jacket. It is said that the warmth retention is several times higher than that of a cotton jacket, and it is even lighter, and weighs almost nothing."
When Xing Yi heard the first half of the sentence, his face was in a state of dismay, and the corners of his mouth twitched. But when he heard the latter part, he suddenly became uneasy, "Down jacket? Is it really that magical? Hey? Why hasn't Xing Si sent any news?"
Chu Chenfeng looked so proud. "Xing Si's letter should arrive soon. The emperor went with him to try them on and they both said the effect was amazing. And the princess has arranged for people to purchase a large amount of materials, and they are already in mass production. Before winter comes, even if not everyone can get a set, most of the soldiers can wear them."
Xing Yiyi clapped his hands, "Princess, you are so great, so amazing. Your Majesty is so lucky."
Chu Chenfeng smiled like an idiot, "Of course."
Xing Yi coughed lightly and turned his head away. It was really unbearable to watch his master, such a shrewd and wise man, showing such an expression.
"Not only that, the princess also has the best recipe for frostbite cream and ginger tea. She has also arranged for someone to make them. They should arrive at the same time as the first batch of down jackets."
Xingyi was overwhelmed by these pieces of good news, "Great, I'll tell everyone right away, hahahaha, this year's winter won't be like the past."
"Not yet, wait until the stuff arrives."
Xingyi stopped walking, but he couldn't suppress the joy on his face. The prince had made the most correct decision by marrying Miss Li as his princess.
"Then Your Majesty, are you going to write a letter to the princess to express your gratitude? Oh," Xing Yi shouted, "Your Majesty, have you not written a letter home yet? This... this... the princess won't be angry, right?"
Chu Chenfeng frowned at this time. Chu Jie's letter just now also mentioned him. He really... forgot. He didn't have this habit before. It seems that he has to pay attention to it in the future. He is now a man with a princess.
Chu Chenfeng opened a wooden box on the desk, revealing a wooden hairpin inside. He carved it every time he thought of Li Mulan after coming to the border. It was already finished, and he didn't know if his little princess would dislike it. Then he smiled and shook his head. His princess was never that kind of materialistic person, she would definitely like it, so he would just treat it as an apology.
