Wan Ge cut a bunch of grapes, drew a basin of water from the well next to her, washed the grapes clean, and handed them to the other person.
Jiang Zixi took a bite, and although she was initially very happy, her expression twisted slightly the next second.
Perhaps it's one of the advantages of being good-looking; even if there's a slight distortion on one's face, it doesn't look grotesque at all, but rather has a certain beauty.
Jiang Zixi almost cried from the sourness: "These grapes are so sour."
The grapes are so big and round, almost black with purple color, how can they be so sour?
Wan Ge frowned, somewhat incredulous. She picked one up and put it in her mouth, only to spit it out the next second.
Great! It's so sour it's almost made my teeth fall out.
Jiang Zixi found her reaction amusing and couldn't help but laugh.
Wan Ge took a deep breath: "Let's not eat them. Gui Yu must have bought the wrong grape seeds."
Actually, this is the second year that the grapes have borne fruit. The first year they were growing quite well, but the original owner was just learning to grow them and didn't have any vegetables or fruits, which led to an unbalanced diet. Later, a heavy rain washed away many of them, and by the time the weather finally cleared up, a lot of them had rotted.
Looking at these grapes, the original owner couldn't bear to look at them. He had never tried them before and didn't know what they tasted like. This was the first time he had eaten them, but he didn't expect them to be so sour.
"It's okay, we can try something else." After saying that, Wan Ge led the other person to pick other fruits. There was no problem with the varieties of other fruits. Some tasted sweet and sour and were quite delicious, while others were very sweet.
Jiang Zixi likes to eat sweet things, so Wan Ge picked quite a lot for him to take back to the Prime Minister's residence.
…
On the third day after Jiang Zixi left the Prince's mansion, Prime Minister Jiang saw Wan Ge in front of him.
Aside from the day the engagement was dissolved, this was the first time the prince had asked to see her alone.
"I wonder what instructions Your Highness has?" Prime Minister Jiang had a guess in his heart, and it was very likely related to his son.
Sure enough, Wan Ge spoke up: "It is related to Zi Xi."
Prime Minister Jiang coughed and said, "Please, Your Highness, do not address my son as such."
They have no relation whatsoever, so why are they calling each other so intimately?
"What if I were to say that I am extremely fond of Zixi?"
The Prime Minister sighed: "As His Majesty's younger sister, Your Highness must know His Majesty's temperament very well. Why would Your Highness say such things? Did Zixi say something to Your Highness?"
He still felt that the prince's initial decisive annulment of the engagement didn't seem like the kind of person he was, and there must be a reason for his sudden accusations.
There's a strong possibility that her son said something to someone. He's her only son and has been spoiled since he was little. Although he's not the kind of good-for-nothing, he's a gentle and sensible child, but he's been pampered all his life, so he's bound to be a bit willful.
"It's not because of him, it's because I really like him. I met him on the street that day and fell in love with him at first sight."
"Your Highness, you know..."
"If the Empress allows me to be with him, but we both need to give up some things, I wonder if the Prime Minister would be willing?"
"To be honest, Your Highness, apart from my son, I am all alone. There is nothing I cannot give up."
"Even the position of Prime Minister can be given up?"
"Yes, actually I really want to give up too." She had long since given up on being the prime minister, but she still had a child, and she couldn't just give up all at once.
