Chapter 55: Ready to go north

After returning to the mansion, Luo Shuyu rushed Li Mingjin to change into the clothes covered with stinky tofu, otherwise he would definitely sleep on the couch tonight.

Li Mingjin is not a foodie, and he doesn't go out with snacks every day. He just has a natural curiosity about food, maybe it's just a kind of self-compensation for his missing childhood. Those who love him and trust him are now relieved.

Li Mingjin not only likes to try early adopters, but also prefers foods with peculiar tastes, such as this stinky tofu, and the fried durian before.

Luo Shuyu would prefer him to eat roasted sweet potatoes and roasted pig's trotters, at least the ingredients can be seen. I don't know what this stinky tofu is made of, so I will worry about him.

Luo Shuyu didn't tell Li Mingjin about the matter of entering the palace to face the Holy Spirit, but when he thought that he was also very reluctant to give up on himself, and even personally begged Emperor Tiansheng, he didn't care about his disorderly eating snacks, pretending to be angry for a while and then it would be fine .

I just hope that Concubine Mei can let Emperor Tiansheng make a decision as soon as possible, so that he can pack up his luggage for the north trip ahead of time.

In fact, when he came out of Emperor Tiansheng's palace today, he probably knew that he was shaken, and he didn't say he was dead. It was a good thing to think about it.

As for Li Mingjin's first mention but was directly rejected by Emperor Tiansheng, it must be because he didn't speak properly. Luo Shuyu could imagine what tone he used to ask Emperor Tiansheng. However, with Li Mingjin as the foreshadowing, he will play the emotional card again today. According to the subtle "father and son" relationship between Emperor Tiansheng and Li Mingjin, he guessed that Emperor Tiansheng would also want someone to take care of Li Mingjin, not to mention his wife and wife. Zudu has moved out, and if he doesn't agree, it doesn't make sense. When Concubine Mei went to see Emperor Tiansheng again, this matter became a "family" discussion, and it also fulfilled the affection that Emperor Tiansheng wanted recently.

Although it was Luo Shuyu's temporary plan, it could also be called a step-by-step plan.

The purpose of his following north was just to take care of Li Mingjin, not to disturb the morale of the army, nor to do anything to the common people with cholera.

There is one more thing that Emperor Tiansheng must consider, that is Li Mingjin's condition. If he is sick, what should he do?

Luo Shuyu wanted to go north, and he also meant to find "resolving hundreds of poisons". Reading a book only had text descriptions, unlike reading a comic book with pictures and texts, he could see the characteristics of the characters. A little old man of Pojiao. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary villager. No one knows that he has a medical skill unless he speaks or acts.

This person has devoted his life to tasting all kinds of herbs and detoxifying all kinds of poisons. In other areas, he is not so well taken care of, and his mind is relatively simple. Otherwise, he would not have been deceived by an ordinary pill of Shen Mingyun.

When Li Mingjin was still distressed that Luo Shuyu could not go north together, Concubine Mei, who had not been out of Changle Palace for a long time in the palace, went to see Emperor Tiansheng.

For a while in the harem, it was rumored that Concubine Mei went out to see Emperor Tiansheng, thinking that she wanted to regain her favor, but when they found out about Concubine Mei begging Emperor Tiansheng, they were speechless again, and they couldn't understand Concubine Mei's intentions. The first time I saw someone who drove my daughter-in-law to that bitter cold place, she was simply a model of an evil mother-in-law.

It is not a matter of a day or two that women in the harem have nothing to do to figure this out.

Some people say that Concubine Mei is not only cold-blooded and ruthless to her son, but also to her daughter-in-law; some people say that Concubine Mei is planning some kind of conspiracy, and her daughter-in-law must follow the third prince north to give birth to the emperor's grandson. There is no competition or grab, in fact, the ambition is the one with the biggest and deepest scheming in the palace; some people say that Concubine Mei began to compete for favor for the third prince.

The land of the harem is also a place of right and wrong, and there are different opinions.

On the contrary, Concubine Mei only shook her head when she learned of this from the maid who was close to the palace, and then continued to grow Chinese cabbage and eggplant in her Changle Palace, and sent all the unfinished ones to the Third Prince's Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Mei was looking for Emperor Tiansheng, and Li Mingjin naturally knew it too.

Only one day later, Emperor Tiansheng called their husband and wife into the palace.

On the way to the palace, Li Mingjin locked Luo Shuyu's eyes tightly: "Why did you go to the palace to find your mother-in-law yesterday?" Luo Shuyu smiled but held back Li Mingjin, "Yu'er, tell me quickly. What are you looking for your mother-in-law for?"

Luo Shuyu just didn't tell him: "Nothing, just chat normally."

"Then why did she go to see her father after you left yesterday." He seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but he wasn't sure.

Luo Shuyu pretended not to know how to shake his head. Who asked Li Mingjin to enter the palace the day before yesterday did not tell him why he was looking for Emperor Tiansheng. He clearly wanted him to follow him north, but he didn't say anything. A small punishment was still necessary.

Until standing in front of Emperor Tiansheng, Li Mingjin didn't know from Luo Shuyu's mouth the purpose of his entering the palace yesterday, so he was anxious.

Concubine Lin was here just now and was begging for her mother's family again. Emperor Tiansheng was really annoyed by her. Seeing that their husband and wife were in a good mood, they were in good spirits. The young couple also watched. It's very loving, and I feel a lot more comfortable.

He called the two of them to the palace where he usually lived: "Sit down, you two are still here to be polite to me."

Li Mingjin sat down and pulled Luo Shuyu to sit down too.

Emperor Tiansheng laughed and said, "You child. Yesterday, Concubine Mei came to me to intercede with you, so it's about Shu Yubei."

Li Mingjin turned to look at Luo Shuyu: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Then His Highness didn't tell me that you wanted me to go north." Luo Shuyu acted a little stingy and cast a glance at him

"Isn't that why the father did not agree?" Li Mingjin touched his nose, looked at Emperor Tiansheng again, and said eagerly, "The father called us into the palace today, did you agree?"

Emperor Tiansheng glanced at his husband's strict appearance and pointed at him: "You are smart."

Li Mingjin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Emperor Tiansheng sighed: "If I still disagree, what will you do?"

Li Mingjin said bluntly, "The minister had to quietly take Shu Yu away."

Emperor Tiansheng smiled helplessly: "Yesterday, Shu Yu's translation really touched me. Since ancient times, it is understandable for him to follow along. Okay, I agree, you can go together, remember everything on the way. Focus on your own safety, and when you arrive in the north, you must write to me regularly to report safety."

Li Mingjin agreed: "My son will do it."

Luo Shuyu also said happily: "Father, Shu Yu will definitely keep an eye on His Highness and write to you."

Coax Emperor Tiansheng to promise them, just don't go back.

Most of the emperors are consistent in their words, and I believe that Emperor Tiansheng should not do anything to go back on it.

For now, he still has a "father-son relationship" in his eyes when he sees Li Mingjin, and he can take advantage of this when he can take advantage of it.

Luo Shuyu got the opportunity to go north with Li Mingjin, so naturally, he would have lunch with Emperor Tiansheng.

This time, Li Mingjin was obviously happier, and used an extra bowl of rice in front of Emperor Tiansheng. The unpleasantness caused by Concubine Lin in the morning disappeared, and he felt more and more that he owed the third child and wanted to give more He ordered something to defend himself.

After lunch, the three of them drank tea to digest their food together. When Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were about to leave the palace, Emperor Tiansheng asked the old **** who was serving him to go to his storeroom to fetch a 24-section iron whip that was once used by the Taizu.

Li Mingjin couldn't put it down, and even went to the palace to try it on the spot, performing a whip technique for Emperor Tiansheng on the spot.

Emperor Tiansheng sighed: "If you want to talk about the ability to play the whip, Ming Jin said that no one dared to be the first."

Luo Shuyu also looked straight. For the first time, he saw Li Mingjin swing the whip to perfection, as if the whip was tailor-made for him.

After satisfying Emperor Tiansheng's need for a father-son relationship, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin left the palace.

On the way back, they held each other's hands tightly, and they really breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the mansion.

Only then did Li Mingjin say to Luo Shuyu, "Yu'er, you go north with me. Although there will be some twists and turns on the way there, the weather will be freezing cold, but I will do my best to protect you."

Luo Shuyu shook his head: "Your Highness, don't worry about me. It is also my wish to go north with you. I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment."

Li Mingjin was very excited. He thought it was wishful thinking before, but Luo Shuyu secretly worked hard for the north. Perhaps it was his initiative that led them to go north together.

Li Mingjin: "I don't want to part with you either, then we can prepare well for the northbound issue now."

Luo Shuyu: "Yes, while there is still time to prepare, let's make a list first. Is there anything your Highness would like to bring?"

Li Mingjin: "One person will write a copy first, and then we will discuss what to bring."

The two went to the study, each occupying a table, Luo Shuyu seriously thought about the items to bring to the north, and heard that there was nothing in the north, not even tea.

As for Li Mingjin, he just stared at Luo Shuyu and thought while sitting in the chair, and wrote repeated words under the paper.

When Luo Shuyu came over with three pages of paper, he saw Li Mingjin's words written on the paper, all of which were his name!

Luo Shuyu was a little helpless: "Your Highness, be more serious."

Li Mingjin: "This is all I want to bring. He is my treasure, a family heirloom."

Luo Shuyu: "As far as you are the most serious, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare."

Li Mingjin said sternly: "Where am I not serious."

Luo Shuyu: "I asked you to write down the items you want to bring. You write all my name, and you're wasting paper."

Li Mingjin: "Don't waste it, our Yu'er is a priceless treasure."

Luo Shuyu: "Has your Highness put honey on your mouth today? It's so sweet."

Li Mingjin pecked his lips: "Would you like to try it."

Luo Shuyu pushed him away and pressed his paper on his face: "Ignore you, think about it!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Shuyu left the study and went to the main courtyard, and asked Butler Sun to come over to prepare things for their long trip. Not only did they have to bring a lot of things, but also some people to serve. Just the two of them.

At the beginning, Luo Shuyu also prepared some clothes, dried meat, wine and other things for Li Mingjin to go north. He did not expect Emperor Tiansheng to be so easy to talk, and directly agreed with him to go north.

They are still different from Shen Mingyun and the fourth prince in the book going north.

The two went north a bit earlier, and they may stay in the north longer than them. The fact that Shen Mingyun can meet Jiegoogle does not mean that he has the luck of Shen Mingyun, and he still has to find people for Li Mingjin down-to-earth.

"Jiegoogle" not only likes to taste herbs to make poison and detoxify, he also has another hobby, that is to collect fine wine.

Also need to prepare some special wine.

With a goal in mind, Luo Shuyu immediately asked Butler Xia Sun to go to the capital to find a variety of wines with different tastes, not much, but fine.

Li Mingjin studied his list carefully, and asked him why he wanted so many kinds of wine. Shouldn't he bring more wine? There are so many kinds but less, and it's not enough to drink. The generals drink by the bowl. Where is enough.

Luo Shuyu reminded him: "Your Highness, don't hit me with these wine ideas, I'm useful."

Li Mingjin divergent thinking: "Do you want to go to the north to sell wine?"

Luo Shuyu: "What are you thinking, of course not, you will know when they work, but you are not allowed to make their own ideas."

Li Mingjin: "Got it, these add up to not enough for me to quench my thirst."

Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness, drink less alcohol. I heard people say that men who drink too much alcohol will become potbellied when they are in their thirties, which is ugly."

Li Mingjin: "You despise me when I'm old?"

Luo Shuyu: "Yes, middle-aged and beautiful men are what I like. Does Your Highness want to be ugly? You may not even be able to bend over at that time."

Li Mingjin imagined the character described by Luo Shuyu, and was a little frightened: "It's a bit ugly, just like the king next door. He goes out with a stomach all day long, and I feel uncomfortable watching it, then I'll listen to you in the future. Drink less."

Luo Shuyu thought to himself that His Royal Highness was very good at talking: "It's not too bad." Is wine a must-have or more, Luo Shuyu thought of Concubine Mei again, "By the way, Your Highness, the climate in the north is dry, it is difficult to grow rice, and food is not easy to eat. It’s all wheat, should we ask the mother and concubine to bring some useful seeds, if they can be planted in spring, they can also solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in winter.”

Li Mingjin's mind turned a lot: "Ask the mother and concubine may not be so comprehensive, or I will ask the father to bring a few people who understand farming. If the father wants someone, it is the most direct to ask him to return it."

Luo Shuyu remembered the details of this passage in the book. Because Shen Mingyun was in the system, he knew in advance that the north might be short of food because of the war, so he asked the fourth prince to bring a lot of drought-tolerant seeds when he went to the north, which not only solved the problem of the army's rations , even when the blizzard hit the next day, he saved a lot of people, and directly raised the prestige of the fourth prince among the people.

But now, the trajectory of history has changed. Li Mingjin is going north, and the fourth prince is going south. He knows in advance what may happen in the future, and it is better to predict in advance than to be confused.

Luo Shuyu nodded: "Alright, Your Highness is so smart, let's write a list to the royal father."

Li Mingjin completely believed that he didn't ask more questions, and that Luo Shuyu was so warmly touched that he was so caring.

Li Mingjin couldn't help nodding, his daughter-in-law's brain is good, mainly because he was praised by his daughter-in-law, and he was in a good mood: "It's so good, let's go back to the palace again, there must be a lot of good things in the father's place, just think of it. We all put it on the list."

Luo Shuyu asked him, "Sure, are we arrogant?"

Li Mingjin suddenly made plans for himself in a very methodical manner: "While the royal father's love for me is still warm, let's do more good things."

Luo Shuyu smiled: "Your Highness's words are too reasonable."

In the next two days, Luo Shuyu worked hard to recall the details in the book, and wrote down all the names of the seeds that needed to be used, while Li Mingjin also obtained a lot of fresh things through other means, for food and drink, all in one go Pulling up to the house, the entire capital is spreading rumors that letting the third prince go north is a major failure in Emperor Tiansheng's decision-making, and officials Shang Zhezi asked Emperor Tiansheng to take back his order!

Where did these three princes go to the front line to cheer on the soldiers, he was like going on an outing!

This matter soon reached Emperor Tiansheng's ears. When he called Li Mingjin into the palace to ask him the reason for the matter, Li Mingjin entered the palace with the booklet he asked Butler Sun to copy again.

He handed the booklet to Emperor Tiansheng: "Father, can you prepare all the items in this booklet for my son?"

Emperor Tiansheng opened the thick booklet: "...Why do you still want people and seeds?"

Li Mingjin once again said confidently: "My son-in-law has to send people to farm the fields, and have a variety of delicious food. What if I don't have anything to eat and my son-in-law and daughter-in-law starve."

Emperor Tiansheng thought with a headache, Li Mingjin is not going to war or going out for an outing, he is preparing to live a small life with his daughter-in-law without parental control!

The author has something to say: Three Princes: Daughter-in-law, see if these sets I bought are enough for the road!

Luo Shuyu: …
