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

Chapter 516 What, Lychees are coming? Princess Feng Feiluan

The emperor did not expect that his wish would come true today.

Soon, a young eunuch came in to report, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Dingxiang has arrived. She said she has come to present something new to Your Majesty."

"There's something new." The emperor became interested.

Although durian coconut water is delicious, if you drink it every day, it would be nice to try a different flavor.

Behind Qiao Jianer were two people carrying a large box.

After greeting, she opened the box.

I saw that it was filled with round and plump fruits, slightly larger than eggs, covered with red phosphorus-like skin, and a faint sweet fragrance emanated from it.

"What is this?" The emperor felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen this kind of fruit somewhere.

Qiao Lian'er glanced at the book that the emperor placed on the table, opened a page, and saw some content. It seemed to be about an ancient emperor who killed countless horses so that his concubine could eat lychees from the south.

There is also a picture of lychees on the pages of the book.

In fact, there is no record of the ancient era she came to, but the historical records here have great similarities with the history of the world she came from. It should be an era similar to a parallel space.

Many of the stories may be different, but they are basically the same.

Moreover, if she has used her mind power on someone, she can feel some of the other person's hopes and desires.

The emperor wanted to eat lychees, and there happened to be a batch of ripe ones in the space, so she sent them over.

"Your Majesty, these are lychees grown in Lingnan. I used my own secret recipe to preserve them and then carefully transported them to the capital so that Your Majesty could taste them."

The emperor was stunned: "What, lychee?"

He wondered if he had heard it wrong, and stared at the fruits in the box. The more he looked, the more familiar they looked. Then he looked at the pages of the book. Aren’t they exactly the same lychees?

Just when he was thinking about lychees, lychees appeared before his eyes? As expected, he was the Son of Heaven, and the heavens would answer his wishes.

And the sickle is the messenger sent by God, it must be so.

The emperor's beard trembled, and he leaned over in disbelief and picked up a lychee.

Qiao Jianer took it, peeled off the shell, and presented it to the emperor.

"There is a core inside, Your Majesty, please be careful."

The emperor looked at the lychee flesh, which was crystal clear and flawless. He put the lychee in his mouth and took a bite. The tender flesh burst open, and the sweet and fragrant juice filled his mouth. His eyes widened as wide as he could. After chewing it a few times, he couldn't wait to swallow it into his stomach. He felt a sweetness going up his throat to his heart, and his whole body was shocked, and his soul was also impacted.

The emperor just sat on the throne in a daze.

What did he eat just now? Lychee? Yes, it is lychee. It turns out that lychee is so delicious.

Eunuch Qi peeled several and placed them on a plate. The emperor put them into his mouth one by one, chewing and savoring them slowly, with a look of satisfaction and emotion on his face. He sometimes closed his eyes and sometimes sighed.

"If there's anything in this world as delicious as durian, it's lychee."

"Besides, lychees are juicy and can quench your thirst."

The emperor ate plate after plate until he could eat no more. Then he wiped the lychee juice from his beard with a silk handkerchief.

He thought of what he had said before. Although he was talking to himself, he was still a man of honor.

"Sickle, do you have any wish?"

Qiao Jianer seemed puzzled.

The emperor said, "When I was little, I read a historical record about how Emperor Chu Yue killed countless horses and lost many lives just to get his concubine to eat lychees. I've always wondered what lychees tasted like that would make Emperor Chu Yue go to such lengths to ship them to the capital."

"But this is the North, and lychees grow in the South. It's not easy to get a bite."

"Later, I stopped thinking about it until today, when I came across the story between Emperor Chu Yue and the Imperial Concubine. I thought, if anyone brings fresh lychees to me, I will satisfy any request they make."

So that's how it is. Qiao Jian'er pondered and said, "Your Majesty has given me more than enough. I don't want anything more. As long as Your Majesty is happy eating lychees, that is my greatest wish."

The emperor's eyes lit up with relief after hearing these heartfelt words. "You don't want it, but I have to give it to you. Since arriving in the capital, Jian'er has performed well. Last time, he even saved my life from the fangs of a krait. He presented me with durian and lychees, both of which are rare and precious. I would feel guilty if I didn't show any appreciation."

"Eunuch Qi, please draft an imperial edict and announce to the world that the Princess Dingxiang has been meritorious in saving me. I wish to confer upon her the title of Princess Feiluan. Her fief will remain unchanged, and the number of recruits will be increased to 30,000. All monthly salaries, benefits, and regulations will be the same as those for a princess."

The emperor looked at Qiao Jian'er and said, "Jian'er, your promotion from County Princess to Commandery Princess will bring you the power to recruit soldiers. I want you to build a valiant and combat-savvy elite force of the Qiao family for the imperial court. This will become the Imperial Guard, the third major army to protect the capital, in addition to the Inner Army."

Qiao Jian'er's heart was boiling with emotion when she heard this. She came to this world and became a citizen of Daze Kingdom, enjoying the emperor's grace. It was also her responsibility to do her best for Daze Kingdom.

It turned out that the Qiao family army had only 6,000 soldiers, which was insignificant in number. Even if they practiced different formations, they would not have much impact.

Now it has increased to 30,000, which finally has some scale. At least, it is a number that can make people start to feel threatened.

Pang Da thought that after becoming one of the major deputy generals, he could lead the team to defeat Qiao's army and put it in the front, which was possible. But now that the number of troops increased to 30,000 at once, Pang Da was just dreaming.

Qiao Jian'er knelt down to express her gratitude, "Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you. I am determined to train my 30,000 soldiers into an elite force, and to protect the capital, His Majesty, and the people of the capital as my lifelong duty."

"Very good." The emperor nodded. "Your fiefdom of a hundred miles is actually far more than that of a county lord. However, I know that you will never stop at being just a county lord in this life, so I have granted you a vast fiefdom in advance."

"If you can become a princess, and gain another hundred miles of connected fiefdoms, and increase the number of recruits to 70,000, you will be able to control a large battlefield and decide the outcome of a war. Princess Feiluan, keep up the good work."

Originally, the emperor wanted Qiao Jian'er to make another great contribution before she could be named a princess, so even though she subdued the poisonous snake, he refrained from promoting her.

But this time she sent him lychees, and he really couldn't control himself.

Next time, he must never promote his subjects just because of food. It is not right, absolutely not right.

The news that Qiao Jian'er became the Princess of Feiluan quickly spread among the nobles in the capital.

Of course, it also reached Ponda's ears.

"What, Princess, what, recruiting 30,000 soldiers?" Pang Da was crawling in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity. How could he have thought that Qiao Jianer would be so quick?
