Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Outside the study, a tall and imposing man was walking towards them.

He was wearing a dark black inner garment and a dark red plain robe on the outside. He had a leather belt tied tightly around his waist and a sword slung across his waist, making him look heroic.

As the sword-wielding guard stepped into the room, the slight sound of his footsteps instantly broke the original quiet atmosphere in the room and interrupted Li Ruize's thoughts who was in deep thought.

The guard walked straight towards where the prince was. When he got close, he gently lifted his robe, then knelt on one knee, holding the long sword at his waist with his left hand.

With a solemn expression, he reported to the front, "Your Highness, someone has been sent from the Imperial Palace. It is Eunuch Jingde, the current emperor's personal steward."

After hearing this news, Li Ruize just frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure and said calmly: "Please ask them to come in."

"Yes, Your Highness!" the guard responded, then took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the study to greet the guests.

Not long after, he led the three eunuchs into the room. After bringing them in, the guards quietly left the study.

At this moment, Prince Ye Li Ruize slowly turned his gaze towards the guests in front of him. The eunuch standing in the front was none other than Eunuch Jingde, the trusted chief eunuch of the imperial palace.

As for the two young eunuchs following behind him, they looked a little unfamiliar, probably having never met him before.

However, just before Prince Ye Li Ruize opened his mouth, Eunuch Jingde took the lead and stepped forward, kneeling respectfully to Li Ruize, shouting, "Your servant, pays homage to Master Ye!" Seeing this, the eunuchs accompanying him also hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

This is the emperor's most beloved younger brother, so he has to be respectful. Moreover, seeing the royal majesty of Prince Ye, he dare not be disrespectful.

"Eunuch Jingde, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up." Prince Ye said calmly.

As soon as Jingde stood up, he smiled in a flattering manner and said, "Prince Ye, it was so hard for me to find you. I just went to your mansion in the capital, but didn't see you. After asking around, I learned that you were in the manor in the east city of Taohua County."

It was a lucky thing. When he came out of Prince Ye's mansion, he thought his mission was going to fail. He asked the people in the mansion, but no one knew where the prince had gone. He was really anxious at that time.

At that time, he happened to see Lord Jiang, who had retired from the Hanlin Academy and returned to his hometown, moving his family out of the city. After all, they had been in the officialdom for many years. Out of courtesy, Eunuch Jingde stepped forward and exchanged a few words. He inadvertently learned from him that Prince Ye had recently bought a farm of his that he was eager to sell.

This made him know where King Ye might be going.

Without giving it any more thought, as he could not delay important matters, he stated his purpose, saying that he was here to deliver the imperial edict. As he spoke, he shouted in a shrill voice, "Deliver the imperial edict. Prince Xuanye is to enter the palace immediately. There are important matters to discuss."

"Is it important?"

Li Ruize raised his eyebrows in doubt, and stared at the round-faced old eunuch in front of him with his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes. He didn't ask until Eunuch Jingde's apple cheeks were stiff from laughing, "Did you say what it was?"

Eunuch Jingde is an old fox who has worked in the deep palace for many years. He knows all the official clichés without repeating himself.

He said: "His Majesty did not say what it was, he just said that you, Prince Ye, must enter the palace immediately."

When Eunuch Jingde thought of the group of beauties in the imperial garden, he appeared very calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside. "My Prince, my Prince, if you knew about this, I would be in great pain. This matter has nothing to do with him at all. He is just a messenger."

The two young eunuchs behind him didn't show any clues, because they really didn't know the inside story.

Eunuch Jingde subconsciously wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, then respectfully led the two young eunuchs to bow and take their leave.

King Ye looked at the three people walking in a hurry, and subconsciously felt that there must be something fishy going on.

But he was too lazy to guess, and directly ordered outside: "Come, prepare the horses and go to the palace."

The two guards outside the door responded: "Yes," and then one of them went downstairs to arrange matters.

At the same time, Su Yu was riding in a carriage on his way home when he smelled a strong aroma of pastries. He told Xie An to stop the carriage and get off to take a look.

As Su Yu walked to the pastry shop, her eyes were attracted by a kind of peach blossom paste. The pastry was made in the shape of a peach blossom, with distinct peach blossom stamens in the center. The stamens were yellow in color, and a layer of caramel-like sugar ring was poured at the base of the stamens.

The petals are also designed with great care. Not only are the tips of the petals light pink, but the petal base also has a gradient of dark pink, which outlines the veins of the flower.

There is also a rose cake, which is bright red in color and very eye-catching. The rose shape is also very realistic. It looks delicious at first glance.

Su Yu felt that it was a pity that there was no rose jam to go with it. It would have been so delicious if it had been paired with rose jam that was rich in flavor, slightly sweet, and had a hint of bitterness.

The rest were some ordinary ones, such as peach blossom cakes, mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, water chestnut cakes, cloud cakes, and peanut cakes. Not only were their shapes ordinary, but their colors were also mediocre, which made Su Yu lose interest.

Xie Nanxing, who came later, stared at the peach blossom cake and rose cake with an expression of amazement: "They look delicious."

Xie An was also a little greedy and swallowed subconsciously.

The shopkeeper was a female one. Seeing that Su Yu and the others were watching seriously, she didn't dare to disturb them.

Until Su Yu ordered: "Boss, please pack all these peach blossom cakes, peach blossom pastries, and rose cakes for me."

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is included. There are only ten pieces left of each of the peach blossom cake and rose cake, and only twelve pieces of peach blossom pastry.

The female shopkeeper was very happy. Her eldest daughter was very skillful and the pastries she made by hand were always the best-sellers.

She carefully placed the food into the exquisite and gorgeous food box, each movement showing exceptional care and attention. When everything was ready, she gently handed the food box to Xie An who was standing behind her.

At this moment, a clear and slightly arrogant female voice suddenly rang out: "Wait! This is something that this princess has taken a fancy to and wants to buy."

Su Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a magnificent carriage pulled by two fine horses. The curtains, woven from bamboo, had been rolled up, revealing the scene inside.

What comes into view is a small and delicate face that has not yet lost its childishness, but her hair is full of gold hairpins and jade rings, and her face is covered with thick makeup, making her look extremely gorgeous.

However, such heavy makeup is extremely inconsistent with her pure and cute temperament like a little white rabbit. The original fresh beauty is completely covered up, making it difficult to appreciate.

Su Yu couldn't help but think to herself, "This child might have some serious aesthetic problems."

That face filled with pride and that arrogant and willful tone of voice all betrayed his noble status. Such a unique personality trait made it almost impossible for Su Yu to forget it.

It turned out that this woman was none other than the renowned Princess Ronghua. Recalling his last experience with her, he later privately asked Xie An about this princess.

It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Sheng Kingdom had only two legitimate sons and one illegitimate daughter.

The eldest son is the current emperor Li Ruian, the second son is the idle prince who is not in the court all year round, Prince Ye, Li Ruize, and the remaining one is the concubine's princess Li Feng.

As the only daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Ronghua has an even more respected status.

However, even facing such a noble princess, Su Yu did not intend to indulge her. After all, no matter what, reason should be the first priority, so he signaled Xie An to pay the silver first.

Then, Su Yu turned to face the girl in the carriage and said calmly, "My princess must know that everything has a first-come, first-served rule.

I arrived here earlier than you, so it's natural that I should buy it."

After saying this, he gently raised the box in the direction of Princess Ronghua, and then planned to pick up the cakes and get on his own carriage.

Princess Ronghua was extremely angry, but the order she had just issued was already the most extraordinary thing she could do within the scope of the good upbringing she had received since childhood.

In fact, she could have sent her men to use their power to exert pressure and snatch the box of cakes unreasonably, but she did not give such instructions.

For a long time, as long as she didn't ask for it, people would rush to present her with rare delicacies from all over the world and dazzling jewelry.

This was the first time she had encountered someone like Su Yu who acted without rules or common sense. She was extremely angry, yet at a loss as to what to do, caught in a dilemma.
