Chapter 139 Jealousy
"Someone reported that there was such a thing a few days ago, but we have never seen it before, so we took it to the government for a decision to be on the safe side. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have come to find you later." Nangong Jin said slowly: "The batch of goods is being kept at the post station. We will make a judgment after the government makes a decision."
"I see." Xu Miaomiao nodded in response, but she was extremely panicked inside. She thought it was just a small piece of fruit, but who would have thought that even the officials would be alarmed.
"Don't worry." Nangong Jin patted Xu Miaomiao's shoulder comfortingly: "If that thing is harmless, the emperor will naturally let it in. If it really doesn't work, I'll let you meet the emperor and you can talk to him in person."
"Meet the officials?" Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised. She was just a commoner from a remote area of Bai County, yet she had such an opportunity.
"Yes." Nangong Jin nodded confidently: "Anyway, the emperor has seen you before and has some impression of you. Besides, your husband is now the Fifth Prince's man, who dares to say otherwise?"
"The fifth prince?"
Xu Miaomiao was startled before she could recover from the shock just now.
In the original text, Song Wu Shao died very early after being feared, and no one knew who inherited the throne in the end. But it is undeniable that he has always been the Fifth Prince's man. But the Nangong family has believed in the prince for generations. Doesn't this make them enemies? Will it have any impact on the two children, Dabao and Li Yi, who are still learning skills in the Nangong family?
In just a few seconds, Xu Miaomiao even thought about the final battle for the throne. She never thought that such a thing would involve a small peasant woman like herself.
Nangong Jin observed the woman's affairs and couldn't help but find it funny to see her fanciful thoughts: "Don't worry, I won't blame Dabao."
"I, that's not what I meant." Xu Miaomiao explained awkwardly, "I was just wondering, can I really meet the emperor?"
"Yes." Nangong Jin nodded slightly: "As long as you want, I will arrange it right away."
Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped back and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Nangong."
"When will you stop being so polite to me?"
The sudden voice startled Xu Miaomiao, and she could only pretend not to hear it: "I think it's getting late, I'll go back first. I'll trouble Nangong Xianggong to enter the palace."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned around and left anxiously.
Although Song Wushao had not yet received his official position, the government still granted him a large house. According to the original address, Xu Miaomiao quickly found the place.
"lady."
As soon as she entered the door, the maid respectfully bowed to Xu Miaomiao, which made her a little uncomfortable, but the most important thing at the moment was to find Song Wushao and explain what happened today to him.
The man in the study, holding a book in one hand, listened to the servants reporting Xu Miaomiao's whereabouts.
When she heard Nangong Dejin's hand around Xu Miaomiao's waist, her fingers gripping the book tightened even more.
"Song Wu Shao!"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao came in, she saw the guards kneeling on the ground one by one and Song Wushao's face was ashen. She always felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Did she come at the wrong time?
Just when he was wondering, Song Wushao waved his hand and the guard immediately pushed it away.
There were only two people left in the room, and Xu Miaomiao quickly told him everything that had happened today.
"So Nangong Jin agreed to take you to meet the emperor?" Song Wushao's low voice sounded in the air.
Xu Miaomiao locked her head and nodded slightly. Why did she always feel that the big boss was not very happy at the moment?
After a long time, the quiet atmosphere was finally broken. Song Wushao looked at Xu Miaomiao seriously and slowly said, "I can also let you enter the palace."
What does this mean? The message flashed through Xu Miaomiao's mind again and again. Looking at the big boss's appearance, he nodded slightly. Well, this is the wrong thing to eat.
Xu Miaomiao immediately turned on her lackey switch, grabbed Song Wushao's arm and said, "Of course I know the boss can do it. No matter how powerful the big boss is, it's better to let Nangong Jin do such a small thing as entering the palace."
Song Wu Shao seemed to be coaxed into happiness, and the smile on his lips was almost hidden: "Miao Miao, you see, everything is fine in the capital, you can come with the child."
At this point, Xu Miaomiao pondered for a moment: "Don't worry, I will definitely come over after the store is settled. A store as good as the department store must be opened in the capital."
Song Wu Shao hummed softly and said nothing more. He just hugged the woman in front of him into his arms.
The warm chest made Xu Miaomiao very attached to it, and she rubbed her furry head against Song Wushao's shoulder.
The good news was just mentioned in the morning, and Nangong Jin delivered the news in the afternoon.
Xu Miaomiao dressed up and resolutely refused the clothes prepared for her by the maid, choosing instead to wear a light skirt before leaving.
I always felt that Bai County was far away, but now that the imperial palace is right in front of me, Xu Miaomiao still finds it a little unbelievable.
He suppressed his curiosity so strongly that he did not show the momentum of Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
The eunuch who led the way led Xu Miaomiao out of the house and then there was no movement. Xu Miaomiao waited and waited but still no one came.
Finally, at dusk, the eunuch's voice was heard - His Majesty has arrived.
He quickly knelt down and saluted the man.
When the emperor came in, he saw Xu Miaomiao lying on the ground and was a little confused. He turned to look at the young eunuch beside him before he reacted.
"I almost forgot that Madam Xu is still waiting."
"I have not returned to the government."
Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth to respond.
After a while, the young eunuch brought up a plate of fragrant pears and said, "This is what was intercepted that day. What is the name of the fragrant pear?"
"Yes, sir." Xu Miaomiao said, "This is a new kind of fruit we discovered. It is absolutely non-toxic and harmless."
Xu Miaomiao spoke firmly. The reason she dared to say this was because this thing had been here for such a long time, and the imperial physician must have checked that it was harmless, otherwise the emperor would not have seen her.
"How do you eat this?"
"Go back to the official's house, wash it and eat it directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came down with the fragrant pear. When it was brought up, it was still steamy.
Just as the emperor was about to pick one up to taste, he was immediately stopped by someone beside him: "Sir, let me taste it first..."
Hearing this, the man just laughed and handed over the thing in his hand.
Seeing that the little eunuch had eaten it without any problem, he started eating.
The taste of the rice cake is indeed unusual, sweet with a hint of crispness.
After finishing the meal, the man looked at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief: "Last time it was a smoothie, and this time it's pears again. Madam Xu is really amazing."
"It was also because of the vastness of the Southern Dynasty that I was able to discover it by chance. I should thank the emperor."
