Chapter 179 Nonsense
Chu Li is indifferent by nature and has no patience.

That's why he got the title of Lord Bingshan.

At this moment, looking at Xia Zhi's confused little face, he was patiently tight.

Not even the slightest hint of getting angry.

"Why is he not stingy?" Xia Zhi changed his posture, put one hand on his shoulder, and leaned on his left shoulder together with his chin.

"Let me tell you, that third brother of yours only gives me five taels of silver every time!"

"He is a majestic prince, what is five taels of silver to him?"

"In name, I'm still his wife! A prince who only gives his wife five cents of pocket money, do you think he's stingy?"

Xia Zhi drank too much, and couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, and even felt that standing was more tiring, and it was more comfortable to lean on the soft meat cushion.

"Five taels of silver is not enough at all!"

Shao Yao and Ding Xiang hid in the room and listened, all sweating for Xia Zhi.

It's over, it's over, the prince will be angry if the lady says this.

No, no, they have to prepare, if the prince gets angry and strikes at the young lady later, they have to rush out to block the young lady.

how do you know...

In the next second, something surprising happened.

Instead of being angry, Chu Li gently squeezed Xia Zhi's face.

"Xia Zhi, do you know why he set the pocket money of all concubines in the mansion at five taels of silver a month?"

Xia Zhi shook his head, "Besides his stinginess, I can't think of any other reason."

Chu Li couldn't help but kept smiling wryly, and scratched the tip of her nose with slightly cool fingertips, "You, how do you know the suffering in the world?"

"This king has led troops to fight all the year round, and has witnessed no less than a hundred battles, large and small. Every time I see the soldiers who accompanied me in battle die, I feel very sad in my heart."

"At that time, I thought, can I do something for them?"

"Therefore, I issued a decree to ask the emperor to give pensions to the soldiers who died in battle, but the emperor said: A man should have died in battle, shrouded in horse leather, and died for the court. It is their supreme honor, and no pension is needed!"

"I also know that the imperial court has its difficulties. It needs money to deal with floods, drought needs money, building palaces needs money, and daily food and clothing needs money. But don't the lives of soldiers who died in battle count as life? "

"Later, I submitted an application together with the Ministry of War, asking the emperor to give each soldier who died in battle a pension of ten taels of silver, but the emperor did not approve."

"Later, because we couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm for pleading, the pension was set at five taels of silver."

"You eat and eat the best in this mansion. You wear silk and satin. Besides these, you also have pocket money. Have you ever thought about those soldiers who died in battle?"

"Others don't need to understand them, but this king can't!"

"It's not that the king is stingy."

Xia Zhi was confused, but still understood, and glanced at the man sitting beside him, "Are you Chu Li or Chu Yue?"

"Why are you so clear about these things?"

Chu Li really wanted to push this woman into the pool to make her sober up.

But after facing her big wet eyes, all the anger in his heart disappeared.

Turning her face, the two of them sat facing each other, which also allowed her to see his face more clearly.

"You said... who is this king?"

Xia Zhi blinked his eyes several times, and finally regained a trace of sobriety. Looking at the handsome face in front of him, his eyes widened in fright.

"You...you are Chu Li!"
