Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Just as she was about to change into her palace attire, the old eunuch said, "The county lady should go directly to see the emperor."

It seems that the emperor is anxious to see her.

On the way to the palace, Qiao Jian'er thought about everything that had happened during this period. She had not done anything disrespectful to the emperor. Now that she was in the capital, there were eyes everywhere, so she was also cautious in private.

Sitting in the carriage, Qiao Jian'er couldn't help but lift the curtain and ask Eunuch Qi in the sedan chair, "Eunuch Qi, does the emperor have any instructions?"

Eunuch Qi squinted at her again, his tone still harsh: "You'll know when you get there."

Then he leaned back on the sedan chair, closed his eyes, and ignored me.

Qiao Jian'er had thousands of questions in her mind, and she could only get an answer in the Golden Palace.

Now she only thought that if anything unexpected happened, she would bear it herself and never let her family get into trouble.

With a nervous heart, he walked all the way to the ceremonial gate, dismounted, and walked along the long square and steps into the Golden Palace.

Qiao Lian'er only felt that the atmosphere in the Golden Palace was much more depressing than the previous two times she came. A cool breath lingered in it and penetrated into her skin.

She shuddered secretly, not daring to glance at the person on the dragon throne, and knelt down respectfully to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor." She added, "May the Emperor be blessed with great fortune and be free from all worries."

The emperor stared at the person kneeling in the center of the hall, pursed his lips, his eyes cold, and did not speak for a long time.

Qiao Jian'er had been kneeling for a long time, and her knees felt sore and numb, and there were bursts of pain, but she couldn't move at all.

Gradually, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Princess Dingxiang." Finally, the emperor spoke.

"You have appeared before the Emperor twice since arriving in the capital. Have I ever treated you unfairly?"

what? !

Qiao Jian'er was confused by the question. It was not that she didn't know how to answer, but that the emperor asked the question like this.

She said, "Your Majesty's kindness to me and my family is as great as a mountain. I will always remember this and will do my utmost to be loyal to you."

The emperor snorted, "But you forgot me in the blink of an eye. This is what you call loyalty, this is what you remember."

Ah? !

Qiao Jianer had a bigger question in his mind.

"I dare not. The Emperor is always in my heart. He is like a god who cannot be desecrated."

I don’t know why, but it seemed like the emperor’s tone just now was a little aggrieved?

The emperor looked at her coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Eunuch Qi stepped forward, placed his whisk on his arm, and scolded, "Bold Qiao Jian'er, since you say you never forget the Emperor's grace, why didn't you offer the good stuff to the Emperor? Instead, you let everyone taste it first. This is how you show filial piety to the Emperor."

Oh!

Qiao Lianer's mind raced and he immediately came to his senses.

It turned out that the emperor was referring to durian and nuts. The current emperor was also a big foodie. He would get angry if he couldn't eat delicious food, so he summoned her to question her.

Qiao Jian'er was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But she didn't dare reveal it at all, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is a big misunderstanding here."

"Tell me what the misunderstanding is." The emperor took a deep breath.

Before daybreak, a minister came to offer him a kind of durian pulp. He didn't like the smell and his face turned ugly. He thought the minister was being too rude to give it to him.

The minister was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed several times, guaranteeing that this thing was a fairy product on earth, which even the gods in heaven could not eat. Many noble families bought it to eat, and it has become a trend nowadays.

The emperor was really curious, so he took a bite. Suddenly, an indescribable sweet fragrance that seemed to have reached the extreme captured his soul, and he almost fainted for a moment.

Upon asking, he found out that the durian was bought from Qiao Jianer. More than 30 noble families who went to Prince Heng's Mansion had eaten it yesterday, but he, as the emperor, the current Son of Heaven, and the head of the Daze Kingdom, actually got to eat it so late.

He was so angry that he had no intention of attending the morning court. He only said a few words and hurriedly dismissed the court officials. Then he sat on the dragon throne sulking and had no intention of submitting any memorials.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what he had done to make Qiao Jianer dissatisfied.

Finally, I couldn't help but call her over.

Qiao Jianer said, "It's not that I forgot about Your Majesty. I'm currently selecting the best, largest, and most delicious durian nuts to present to Your Majesty. As for those from the aristocratic families, Your Majesty, please forgive my selfish motives. I simply want to make money from them, and this doesn't conflict with my filial piety to Your Majesty."

She spoke sincerely, and the emperor's expression finally softened a little.

"But seriously?"

"If even one word of this is false, I am willing to be struck by lightning and fried in a frying pan eighteen times in hell."

"Alright, since you said you were preparing, no matter how much you have prepared, you must return and deliver it to me immediately. If the truth is not what you said, I will not let you off lightly."

As the emperor spoke, he stared at Qiao Jianer's face, trying to see the slightest trace of panic on her face.

However, he only saw determination.

"My daughter obeys."

"Go." The emperor's anger had not completely subsided, but there was a hint of anticipation on his face.

I still hope that Eunuch will escort Qiao Jianer out of the palace.

"Eunuch Qi, the emperor is just doing this for such a small matter. It's just food, so I'll offer it to him." Qiao Jian'er still found it unbelievable.

Although this matter was easy to solve, it caught her off guard.

Eunuch Qi glanced around and frowned, "Miss Qiao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you were indeed negligent in this matter."

"You must know that the whole world belongs to the emperor. All the delicious food, drinks and useful things in the world belong to the emperor. The best things that have never been seen before must be enjoyed by the emperor first, and then others are entitled to them."

"It's okay in other places, but this is the capital."

Qiao Jianer sighed softly, "I understand. I was preparing everything carefully and selecting the best for His Majesty, but since His Majesty is in a hurry, I'll just send over what I've prepared first."

On the way back, she was tinkering in the space.

If you want bigger and better-tasting fruits, you can. Just add gold coins and continue to add gold coins to ripen them.

When he got home, Qiao Jianer had already prepared ten 20-jin durians, pecans and macadamia nuts, which were twice as big as those sold to Gaomen.

She put these things in the warehouse, had them loaded onto the carriage, and then went to the palace.

When we got off the carriage at the ceremonial gate, we saw the emperor there, pretending to be nonchalant and admiring the palace and gardens.

"The emperor is worried about state affairs all day long and doesn't even realize that there are so many flowers blooming in the garden. He should come out to relax and relieve his stress so that he can have more energy to deal with memorials." Eunuch Qi said on the side.

The emperor nodded slightly.

Qiao Jianer held back her laughter in the carriage for a moment before getting out and saluting the emperor.

"Your Majesty, durian, pecans, macadamia nuts, and sugar apples have all been delivered."

Yes, there is another kind of sugar apple, and you should choose the largest one. This fruit is also rare, fragrant and sweet.

However, because it was too sweet, many people couldn't stand it after eating a few pieces of the flesh, so the sales volume would not reach the expected results, so she didn't sell it yesterday.

It’s just the right time to present it to the emperor now.
