Afterwards, he tasted the pumpkin prepared by the royal chef and found it tasted quite good. He couldn't help but like Xie Ying, the little lucky star, and the magical island even more.

Unexpectedly, just after he sent several ministers away, Wang Zhi suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, I just heard that someone sent a lot of good things to the Princess's Mansion and the Xie family."

"Oh?" Emperor Taihe raised an eyebrow curiously. "Who sent it? What did they give?"

"I heard that it was given by the Princess of Fu'an to the young prince and Commandant Tu."

Emperor Taihe appointed Tu Yong as the commander of the grain department, temporarily ranking him as the seventh rank.

Although his rank was not high, he was still an official at least.

Because the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is quite high, Emperor Taihe now relies heavily on Tu Yong, hoping that he can develop a set of effective planting methods and bring people to cultivate more seeds as soon as possible so that they can be promoted in various places.

Wang Zhi knew what Emperor Taihe was thinking, so he had a smile on his face when he mentioned Tu Yong.

Emperor Taihe asked with amusement, "Oh? She's so young, yet she knows how to give gifts? What did she give?"

Wang Zhi replied with a smile, “I heard that the Princess of Fu’an not only sent watermelons and this big melon, but also two kinds of strange fruits.

One is a thin, red, finger-thick strip, and the other is the size of a winter melon, but with sharp corners and a foul smell.

Emperor Taihe smiled and said, "So they are spicy fruit and stinky fruit. Luo Zheng said that the spicy fruit tastes spicy and the stinky fruit has a foul smell. They don't like them and dare not present them to me. But Fu'an likes them very much."

He looked at Wang Zhi and said, "Since Fu'an has sent a lot, go to Xie's house and get a stinky fruit. I want to see how stinky that thing is!"

Wang Zhi quickly agreed with a smile, and then couldn't wait to go to Xie's house.

Not wanting to wait for him to get the stinky fruit, he met Jiang Er on the way to the palace.

Jiang Er looked at the stinky fruit the eunuch was holding, sniffed it carefully, and asked Wang Zhi curiously, "What is this? Why does it smell so strange?"

Wang Zhi could only explain, "This is a fruit that the Princess of Fu'an found on an island. It smells a bit stinky, but I heard it's edible."

Jiang Er was eager to try it: "Really? Let me have a taste!"

Wang Zhi: “…”

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

What on earth was wrong with Jiang Er? He had never known before that Jiang Er liked to eat such stinky things!

What kind of weird hobby is this?

Although he was secretly complaining, he didn't dare show it on his face. He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty is curious about how smelly this fruit is, so he specially ordered us to bring one to the palace. If the uncle of the emperor likes it, I'm sure you will be able to taste it after Your Majesty has seen it."

He didn't dare to give it to Jiang Er directly. What if Jiang Er got an upset stomach? How could Concubine Jiang forgive him?

Jiang Er, however, was unaware of Wang Zhi's subtle thoughts. Upon hearing this, he immediately said excitedly, "Okay, I'll go with you to see my brother-in-law! This fruit has a unique flavor, and my brother-in-law will definitely not like it. I'll taste it for him later!"

The two went into the palace to meet Emperor Taihe. When Emperor Taihe smelled the stench of durian, he was indeed a little disgusted and even didn't want Jiang Er to eat it.

Seeing that Jiang Er insisted on trying it, he could only cover his nose and let Jiang Er open the fruit.

After the fruit was opened, the smell became stronger. Jiang Er couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sighed with intoxication on his face: "Ah - what a strange smell -"

Emperor Taihe's face was immediately filled with disgust: "!!!"

It seems that I can’t keep this brother-in-law anymore!

Jiang Er ate the fruit pulp and his expression became even more intoxicated: "Oh, the taste of this fruit pulp is so special! No wonder that fat girl from the Xie family likes it!"

Emperor Taihe couldn't help but think of Xie Ying's appearance, and nodded secretly in his heart: That girl is a little fat! She must be too picky about food!

Jiang Er not only ate a large piece of the durian, but also packed up the rest and took it away.

Emperor Taihe disliked the stench of the fruit pulp and was eager for him to take it away.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Er fell in love with the taste of the stinky fruit after eating it, and even ran to Tu Yong to buy it.
