Chapter 847: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
clan hunts, nowadays, you might not even survive if you went to their home."Don't think about running away, and definitely don't go home, okay""But if things go well for you in the future, you can alw...As soon as Fang Jinshu saw Fu Ming appear at the palace gate, she instantly understood his intentions.
With eunuchs present, they naturally couldn't openly discuss these matters. After exchanging polite remarks, they walked away in a line. The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict went back first to report. After everyone else had left, Fang Jinshi spoke.
"That's a good idea, it can offset some people's suspicions and you won't be too conspicuous."
Fu Ming nodded.
Upon entering the main hall, Fang Jinshu appeared before everyone.
The royal feast was truly extraordinary and magnificent, more lavish than any she had ever seen before.
Fang Jinxiu felt a rare surge of nervousness. She followed Fu Ming, her head bowed, towards the center of the hall.
Before she arrived, she had mentally prepared herself to kneel. Fu Ming wanted to remind her, but when he turned his head, he saw Fang Jinshu already kneeling calmly and addressing the emperor loudly with greetings.
The common woman bows to see your majesty, may your majesty reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand thousand years.
"May Your Majesty's longevity be equal to heaven, your blessings boundless, and your health eternal!"
Leaders, especially those who are older, value health and longevity most. Although it is just a birthday greeting, Fang Jinshi also played a small trick with it.
The emperor fruit's eyes lit up with interest, and it shifted its posture, leaning forward.
As if to get a better look at the kneeling lady.
"Speak up, look up."
Fang Jinshi listened and stood up. The moment she raised her head, the Emperor was slightly stunned by her features, but he quickly recovered his composure within a few seconds.
After all, he had seen countless beauties in his life. Fang Jinshu's appearance wasn't enough to impress him in any way.
"He's not bad looking, it's just the way he dresses."
The emperor's gaze shifted from the golden ornaments in her hair to her ostentatious clothing, his brow furrowing immediately.
Fang Jinshu at that moment showed a look of unease, thinking to herself that Fu Ming's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall must be very much liked by the emperor. Sure enough, when the emperor had the words almost at his lips, he swallowed them silently back down.
Perhaps he was afraid of hurting her pride.
"Fang shi, the vegetables you grow on your farm are indeed very delicious."
But, do they really have the effect of prolonging life as Lao Qi said
Do not speak recklessly for a little profit, otherwise it is the crime of deceiving the ruler. Speak truthfully and honestly.
The Emperor thought the Seventh Prince's words were a bit outlandish and wanted to hear for himself what this peasant woman had to say.
Lao Qi, after all, grew up in the palace. You wouldn't necessarily get the truth from him even if you scared him. But commoners who came from the streets were different. The emperor was confident that ordinary people would never dare to lie or put on airs in front of him.
Fang Jinshi also cooperated by giving the emperor a look of fear, and hurriedly knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, even if you gave me a thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to deceive Your Majesty."
"The vegetables and grains we grow at home truly do have the effect of prolonging life and promoting health."
"The woman's mother-in-law originally had some gray hair, but after eating it for a few years now her hair is all black and she looks younger than before."
"If I didn't have concrete evidence, how dare a common woman appear before Your Majesty and humiliate herself"
The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this.
That's truly amazing.
Elder Seven's offered pills can also prolong life. Coincidentally, what kind of unmentionable treasure does he have in his possession
The emperor, already suspicious by nature, turned his gaze to Fu Ming, wavering back and forth between the two.
Fāng Jǐnxiù instantly became tense.
She wasn't afraid of the emperor asking her questions endlessly, but she was afraid of his sudden silence.
I don't know what he's thinking about, it's kind of creepy.
The emperor pondered for a moment, but it was just some fruits, grains, and vegetables. Could he possibly be afraid of what a commoner could do to him
Moreover, there were people in the palace dedicated to checking the safety of these ingredients.
Just as the emperor was about to agree, a deep voice suddenly cut in.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Merchants' designated calendar has always been subject to rigorous screening. Although it is only for supplying fruits, grains and vegetables to the palace, after all, these are things that go into our mouths, so it's best to be cautious."
Fang Jinxiu involuntarily looked towards the speaker.
He was an erudite old man. His official robe looked different from others'. He sat in a special position.
He was actually sitting in the first seat on the right side of the Dragon Throne
Could this man be Yuan Buyu, the current chancelloryoung age. Someone who could defeat both of them in a single fight, even within the state city, would be rare.”Fang Jinxiu said coldly, “Is this your reason for not doing things well”Under normal cir...
