"After I present this batch of durians to the Emperor, I will send one to the nobleman."
Beneath the veil, the woman's lips curled slightly upwards.
"Okay, Miss Qiao is a straightforward person, and I like talking to straightforward people."
After leaving the teahouse, Qiao Lian'er continued her journey to the palace to deliver durians.
In the past three days, the Emperor has finished all ten durians.
At the banquet that evening, the large durian was displayed in a grand manner, but it was not distributed to the court officials.
When the emperor saw that Qiao Lian'er had delivered twenty-six as promised, each one the same size, golden and plump, his eyes gleamed.
The sense of happiness in life has reached its peak at this moment.
"Good, not bad, not bad." The emperor merely nodded slightly, maintaining his dignified and noble imperial demeanor.
But the two consecutive "good" answers still revealed his true feelings.
He asked, "Will there be any more supplies in the future?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to find durians of this size and present them to Your Majesty."
Qi Gonggong said, "The emperor's protocol has always been unique, does the county princess understand?"
If Qiao Lian'er didn't understand, she would be a fool.
“This is an innate principle in the hearts of a subject and a people, so I originally intended to leave this size of durian to Your Majesty.”
She sighed inwardly as she spoke. Since arriving in the capital, she had said too many things against her will, and she had become more and more adept at it.
However, it's not shameful to try to save your life and make money.
The emperor was very pleased with her answer: "It's good that you have such awareness. Eunuch Qi, reward me."
So, Qiao Lian'er took another heavy box of jewelry back with her.
Upon entering the courtyard, seeing her carrying a box, Qiao Zhizhi quickly ran over.
"Lian'er, what did the Emperor bestow as a reward this time?"
Qiao Lian'er opened the box, took out a light purple jade bracelet, and put it on her.
This bracelet is crystal clear, translucent and lustrous, without a single impurity.
"This is too valuable."
"Sister Zhizhi, our family doesn't need these things right now, so just keep them." Qiao Lian'er smiled and said, "It's a blessing to have these things at the age when girls love to look beautiful."
Qiao Dacheng was given a jade pendant of a half-blooded warbird that he wore at his waist. The pendant was exquisitely carved and complemented his temperament.
She put the box into her spatial storage, picked out an 18-pound durian, and went to that teahouse.
The woman was still there, her back to the outside, motionless. Qiao Lian'er greatly admired her endurance.
A thought popped into my head: when no one's around, does this beautiful woman scratch an itch or pick at her toes?
The subordinate brought the durian to the woman and showed it to her; she nodded slightly.
"How much."
"They're a bit bigger, so they're a bit more expensive. They cost 30 taels a pound, so the total is 540 taels."
Qiao Lian'er said.
The woman readily produced six hundred-tael silver notes with her slender, white hands.
"May you be blessed with great fortune."
Having received an extra sixty taels, Qiao Lian'er offered his blessings.
Then exit.
She never imagined that a durian would cause such a big problem.
