Chapter 388: Old Cow Eating Young Grass

Mu Cang called two pretty maids to help Yan Li bathe and change clothes.

After bathing, lunch was also prepared.

The dazzling array of delicacies are all favorites of nobles. At a glance, there are mutton hot pot, spicy and sour fish, spicy shrimps, braised lion heads, spicy bamboo shoots... The plate is full of red and green colors, and the color is pleasing.

A combination of meat and vegetables, eight hot dishes, at least six of which are spicy.

Yan Li thought back and realized that she hadn't eaten such spicy food for a long time. The eating habits of Mu, Jin and Nan were different. She followed the local customs, so most of what she ate was light.

Besides, Yan Li is not a particularly foody person in the first place, so he would not pay too much attention to spicy food during normal meals.

Mu Cang is not from Southern China, so there is no need to accommodate her too much.

"I can eat the ones that are not spicy, but I'm afraid you can't eat the ones that are too spicy." Yan Li sat down and asked the maid to add two more dishes with lighter taste, "Your master can't eat spicy food, so bring up two more dishes." ”

"No need." Mu Cang sat down next to her, raised his hand and waved, "Step back."

Yan Li frowned slightly and looked at his face: "Can you eat it?"

"Thousands of troops can be brought down, but there is no reason why they can't bring down a little chili pepper." Mu Cang said calmly, using chopsticks to pick up a few slices of hot and sour fish for Yan Li, "The specially hired cook, this sour The spicy fish is said to be a must-have.”

Yan Li was still a little worried: "Can you really eat it?"

"People from the Mu and Jin countries just don't have that strong taste, but that doesn't mean that everyone can't eat spicy food." Mu Cang said, putting a piece of fish in his mouth and tasting the unique hot and sour taste, "It tastes really good."

Yan Li looked at his expression carefully, only to see that the corner of Mu Cang's mouth twitched slightly: "I'm not a three-year-old baby, are you so worried?"

"Don't pretend if you can't eat, I'll feel sorry for you." Yan Li lowered his eyes to eat, and his tone was so calm that it didn't sound like a word of love at all.

However, Mu Cang still felt his heart soften and nodded slowly: "Yes, I know."

"Master." A young guard walked in from outside, "There is Mr. Shen outside who wants to see you."

"Let him wait first." Mu Cang said in an indifferent voice, "We are eating."

"Yes." The guard turned and retreated.

From the time Shengjing left to Fenglu to handle the case, Mu Cang and Yan Li had not had a proper lunch for almost half a month.

Never had a full night's sleep.

Today's meal was very sumptuous, and Yan Li enjoyed it very much.

After confirming that Mu Cang could indeed eat spicy food and that there was no discomfort at all after eating it, Yan Li finally felt relieved and said in a good mood: "We will probably not have to worry about different food tastes when we live together in the future. There was an argument."

This sentence is of course a joke.

Because whether it was Mu Cang accommodating him or she accommodating Mu Cang, it didn't matter to their status, and they didn't even need to accommodate each other.

There are many cooks in the palace, and they can cook all kinds of dishes. Every meal is so rich, there are always several dishes to suit your taste.

However, two people have the same taste, which is undoubtedly a happy thing.

After lunch, Yan Li rested in the bedroom prepared by Mu Cang.

The bed is soft and smells clean and fragrant.

"Let's sleep together." Yan Li took the initiative to invite Mu Cang, "We are husband and wife, and we should be together."

Mu Cang's expression paused slightly, but he still maintained a bit of reserve: "Isn't this not good?"

"Not so good?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows and said in a leisurely and contented tone, "Are you planning to be Liu Xiahui for the rest of your life?"

Mu Cang was silent: "No."

"That's fine." Yan Li lay down on the bed and made some room for him, "I don't do anything else but just sleep. What are you worried about?"

Mu Cang sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to take off his robe and lie down next to her.

"In the past, I avoided it. I didn't want to have too much contact with other people's bodies, so as not to have any grudges in my heart when I return to the southern country in the future." Yan Li looked at him with her forehead propped up, her voice was loose and lazy, "But if this body becomes mine in the future, you Will you continue to avoid it?”

Mu Cang shook his head: "I'm not avoiding this body, but you are too young to touch it for the time being."

He still remembers Emperor Zhaocheng's scruples when he granted him a marriage. He said that Yan Li was still young. Tianlai Novel Network

He was indeed young, only fourteen years old at the time.

Unless he was a beast, there was no way he could be married to her.

"Really?" Yan Li laughed, a little playfully, "If you calculate it according to the age of my current body, are you an old cow eating young grass?"

Mu Cang's expression paused, and then he nodded honestly: "It's true."

Although a fifty-year-old man can still be attracted to a sixteen-year-old beauty, this is based on the premise of extremely unequal status.

Such as his and Yan Li's status.

At this age, there is indeed a suspicion that an old cow eats young grass.

"So you must love me well in the future." Yan Li reached out and touched his forehead, requesting domineeringly, "Don't look at other women too much. You can only have me in your eyes and heart. You must obey me unconditionally and you can't refute me." If you don’t, you can’t object to what I do.”

The corners of Mu Cang's lips raised slightly: "Well, is there anything else?"

Yan Li frowned and thought about the way couples got along with each other that she had seen before. After thinking about it, she found that no man could do it better than Mu Cang.

She didn't even have anyone to compare herself to.

So she smiled and said: "No. You work hard to be a perfect husband, so that women all over the world can use you as an example when training their husbands."

Mu Cang frowned: "Will this lead to women being too disappointed in men and unwilling to get married?"

"It shouldn't." Yan Li said calmly, "The status of women in Jin has not been greatly improved yet, and for the time being, they probably don't have enough courage to compete with men in marriage. But sooner or later, I will become a role model for the world, and so will you. The relationship between the two of us should give women more courage and the courage to fight against injustice."

Improving the status of women is not only the efforts of those in power, but also cannot rely solely on legal constraints.

It is not easy to break the deep-rooted concept cognition for many years, and it also requires women to stand up on their own.

"Sleep for a while." Mu Cang raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, "You've worked hard these two days."

Yan Li looked at his face closely and couldn't help but reach out and touch it: "Mu Cang, you look very good."

Black hair like a waterfall, eyes like a deep pool, eyebrows and eyes cold and noble, face delicate as a painting, just like the gods described in the book.

Mu Cang smiled lightly: "As long as you like it."

"Of course I like it." Yan Li said, and suddenly sighed, "My father said before that if I could marry one of the young and famous people in the world, the unification of the world would be just around the corner. I didn't expect that I would marry the most powerful one."

Mu Cang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I am the most powerful?"

"What else?" Yan Li smiled lightly, "Although Jimo Han is the king of a country, his reputation is mostly due to his style of doing things, and among all the emperors in the world, he is both civil and military, young and promising. Compared with the middle-aged emperor of Mu, the weak emperor of Jin, and the old emperors of Jin and Yan... his advantages are obvious."

Almost all the emperors of various countries are over half a century old or old and incompetent. Only Jimo Han seized power with thundering means when his father was incompetent, forcing his father to abdicate, and then vigorously carried out a series of reforms, making Yong twice as strong in both economy and military strength.

He even took back the city that was taken away from him before, which established his position among the famous young people in the world.
