After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

It's true that Zhang Junjie worked very skillfully. He seemed to have done this before, and he used just the right amount of force when picking the fruits. Unlike Lu Yao, he even broke the skin of a few persimmons at the beginning.

"There are so many persimmons. Are you sure we should pick them all at once?" Zhang Junjie wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Even if we only pick the ripe ones, we won't have enough time to eat them, right?"

There are about thirty to fifty persimmon trees in the orchard. Even if you only pick thirty kilograms of persimmons from one tree, that would still be over a thousand kilograms.

"Don't worry, they won't be wasted." Ping Hao came down from a persimmon tree and said, "These persimmons are not eaten directly, but are used to make persimmon cakes. The princess doesn't like persimmons, but she likes persimmon cakes. The persimmon cakes made by Pan Niang are also very delicious, soft, sweet and juicy. Every year, the princess will send some to each mansion, and we servants also have a share."

He happily took a basket full of persimmons to the supervisor in charge of statistics nearby, and then came back with an empty basket to continue picking.

"Given our princess's personality, you will definitely have a share of these persimmon cakes in the future." He whispered to Zhang Junjie, "Don't look down on these persimmon cakes. Even if you don't like them, if they are sold for 70 or 80 yuan per pound, there will be many people rushing to buy them. The persimmon cakes of our princess's mansion are very famous."

"Your princess is really beautiful and kind-hearted!" Zhang Junjie gave a thumbs up, but he was thinking in his heart that he would definitely not eat any of the persimmon cakes, but would sell them all and save the money for his wife.

At the same time, I can't help but sigh that life is so good for rich people.

Gofu would paint pictures of the orchard harvest every year, producing at least one work every year, but because she was not satisfied with the works, she would eventually put them aside.

——The main reason is that she is not very good at this style of painting.

She judged that the fruit forest harvest paintings she had drawn in the past were not quite right, and were a bit too petty bourgeois. They were certainly beautiful, and not completely without collection value.

But when this kind of painting is circulated, it loses its divinity.

However, this does not prevent Ge Fu from wanting to make breakthroughs in this area every year.

She was just thinking about it when You Niang came over from afar with someone.

Ge Fu didn't pay attention at first until the person came closer.

"Manager Liu, why are you here?" Seeing the person coming, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Unlike Jinglong, there are no eunuchs in the Hengyang Palace, only internal officials - this is probably the only way for Hengyang men to come to power.

Speaking of Xiao Yuan's two most trusted confidants, they are none other than Secretary Ma and Chief Steward Liu. Although Secretary Ma is a close subordinate, she is a real subordinate, while Secretary Liu is a real internal official.

Those who can become eunuchs these days may not necessarily be very good-looking, but they will definitely not be ugly.

Secretary Liu's appearance is just not that ugly.

As the eunuch who had taken care of Xiao Yuan since he was a child, Chief Steward Liu was very familiar with the late prince, and it could be said that Ge Fu grew up under his watch. However, neither the original body nor Ge Fu had ever felt any kindness from this eunuch.

"You are joking, my princess." Chief Steward Liu said with a smile, "Your Majesty has always been thinking about you. Is it not enough for me to come here?"

Ge Fu snorted and laughed without saying anything. If one or two visits a year is considered a lot, then it is a lot. This Manager Liu is always good at making polite remarks. If you argue with him, you will end up being the one who is being petty and unwilling to give in.

You Rong, who was opening a paint bucket nearby, looked up and said, "Manager Liu never comes to visit us without a reason, so don't keep us on suspense."

Manager Liu curled his lips, the curve of his mouth seemed to be mocking or laughing.

"Your Majesty was right to send me here. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that the princess had so many misunderstandings about Your Majesty." He always had a faint smile on his face. "I am here for something. The prince of Gran will come for an interview in a few days. Your Majesty plans to hold a welcome banquet for him. As the only princess of Hengyang and the descendant of Duke Dingguo, you must show up."

"Let me remind you, Steward Liu, although outsiders have always called our eldest daughter Princess, she is also Duke Dingguo. This was conferred by His Majesty himself, and it was you who announced the decree in person. Could it be that you are really too old to have forgotten such an important thing?" Hua Niang said sarcastically.

They keep calling themselves descendants of Duke Dingguo. If you don't know, you might think that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion has fallen into decline and the title has not been passed down.

You Niang and the others have to hold it in, but Hua Niang, who also came from the palace, will not indulge him.

Manager Liu's expression changed for a while, then he suppressed his anger and said, "I have passed on the message. Please be prepared, Princess, and wait for the etiquette officer to come."

Hua Niang's face changed drastically, but Ge Fu pulled her back before she could get angry.

"Repeat what you just said!" Ge Fu said with a cold face.

Manager Liu's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to repeat it forcefully.

Ge Fu was not so easy to let him go, and said calmly: "Liu Zongguan is indeed old and weak and has a bad memory just as Hua Niang said. Today, he just forgot that I was the Duke of Dingguo appointed by His Majesty himself, and that my father was the Prince of Chenrui appointed by the late emperor himself. He wanted to send a mere etiquette officer to humiliate me. If you delay His Majesty's important affairs and Hengyang's state affairs in the future, you will be blamed for it even if you die!"

In Hengyang, only when some new nobles entered the palace for the first time to attend a banquet would the palace send etiquette officials to provide guidance.

What Manager Liu said to her was clearly a naked humiliation!

Ge Fu knew Xiao Yuan very well. Although she was narrow-minded, she also loved face. Without a legitimate reason, she would never do such a harsh thing to her and make people criticize her. So in all likelihood, it was this Manager Liu who acted on his own initiative and wanted to take it out on her.

This is really... If the tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat her as a sick cat!

"Jingjing!" Ge Fu shouted.

"I'm here!" Zhuang Jingjing's voice was louder than ever before.

Ge Fu pointed at Manager Liu and said to Hua Niang, "Send him to the clan residence in person, check the surveillance footage for Xiao Hong, and ask her if she can handle this matter. If she can't, then I can only go to the Dali Temple!"

"I obey your command!" Hua Niang responded with great energy, and left with her men in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

The pinned down Manager Liu looked back at Ge Fu several times, his pale face full of disbelief, as if asking: How dare you?

Ge Fu couldn't help but laugh at himself. His past caution was probably seen as cowardice in the eyes of others.

It all happened too fast. Zhang Junjie came to his senses and couldn't help complaining. It seemed that he was too naive. Not everyone could be a rich man.

Lu Yao walked up to Ge Fu and reminded her, "There's something strange about this interview. The prince of Gran is still in college and hasn't participated in politics yet."
