Ye Han got up very early today, combed her hair in a more formal style, and wore elegant and formal clothes and makeup, which was very different from what she usually wears at home. At home, Ye Han usually wears whatever is comfortable and convenient for her to move around in. She would never use two hairpins if one could be used in her hair, her sleeves were all closed, and her skirt would never drag on the ground.
While combing his hair, Ye Han also bought a lot of fruit. Although it was still spring, there was still a wide variety of fruits. He bought some strawberries, pineapples, green dates, and other fruits that were not available in the Dai Viet Dynasty. He also saw some watermelons, and although they were expensive, he bought some as well. After all, it was better to bring something than to go empty-handed. If he said something wrong and it wasn't serious, maybe the emperor would let him off the hook for the sake of the fruit. The gift was small, but the thought was great! Besides, some of the fruits here were not cheap, like cherries and now watermelons. In the past, Ye Han would never have bought them.
Ye Han picked and chose and bought four of each. He kept one for himself, gave one to the Emperor and Empress, prepared one for the Crown Prince, as Yue Chengyu's biological brother and the Crown Prince, and sent one back to the General's Mansion.
Ye Han looked at the order page and nodded in satisfaction. However, when he saw the text message from the bank, his smile faded. He looked at his balance and calculated how much he needed to spend. Suddenly, he felt incredibly broke. He had thought this amount of money would easily last him a lifetime, but now, it seemed like it would be gone in no time.
"I'll have to figure out how to earn some RMB when I have some free time. At this rate, I can't just rely on treasure top-ups, or else I'll never be able to stop. Don't all the good stuff have to go? I have to leave some for future generations!" This was Ye Han's thought at the moment, but his thoughts were drifting a bit too far. He'd put it on his to-do list for now. He definitely wouldn't have time within a year anyway.
After finishing all the preparations, Ye Han saw that there was still time, so he turned on his computer to check if there was anything he had missed. He then reviewed the words in the PPT and checked to see if all the videos had been downloaded and if his computer was fully charged.
After all the processes were completed, Yue Chengyu also came back.
"Do you want to revise it again?" Yue Chengyu looked at Ye Han looking at the PPT he made yesterday, walked over and asked.
"No, I'll check again to see if there are any omissions. I'll also go over the procedures."
"Don't be nervous, father is not that scary." Yue Chengyu comforted with a smile.
Ye Han didn't respond, only complaining in his mind, "Haha, I'd be surprised if I wasn't nervous. The current emperor is indeed worthy of being called a wise and benevolent ruler, but he's still a king. If things go wrong, it won't be as simple as having my salary cut or my job lost. How can I not be nervous?"
"By the way, I bought some fruit. Should I bring some back to my father and mother?"
"Yes, sure."
Ye Han took out all the fruit that had been delivered, and the originally spacious space suddenly became crowded. Yue Chengyu was stunned at the pile of boxes. "So many?"
"Well, four portions of each. One for the palace, one for us to keep, one for the prince, and one for my parents. Do you think there's anything else we haven't taken care of?"
"Not yet." Yue Chengyu thought about it and realized that Ye Han's arrangements were actually quite good. In his current position, there was no one he needed to curry favor with with gifts. He only needed to take care of the people closest to him.
"Then your Highness, can you please arrange it? Where should it be sent to?"
"Okay, I'll ask Butler Wu to do it right away."
Not long after Yue Chengyu left, Butler Wu and his men moved all the fruit out. Seeing so much, Butler Wu was genuinely shocked and puzzled. Where did all this come from? Of all the so-called fruits, he only recognized watermelon. And the red ones looked like strawberries? But where could watermelons come from in this season? Strawberries weren't even this big! But doubts aside, having too much curiosity in this line of work is definitely not a good thing. So, Butler Wu pretended to know nothing and simply followed his master's instructions, delivering the fruits wherever they were supposed to go.
After lunch, Ye Han and Yue Chengyu once again boarded the carriage bound for the palace. On the small coffee table in the carriage were some washed fruits that Ye Han had bought.
"These fruits are all good, but isn't that watermelon only available in summer? It's summer there now?"
"No, the seasons are the same on both sides, but the flower-growing country has a vast territory, spanning several climates. Plus, there are greenhouses, so many of the fruits and vegetables there are not only available in season."
Yue Chengyu nodded, saying nothing more, and focused on eating. Ye Han didn't dare to be greedy, so he stopped after two bites. After all, the spring weather was still a bit chilly, and although his stomach was okay, he was still prepared for the worst. He had to get himself into optimal physical and mental condition today. It had to be said that Ye Han really worked hard.
Who still remembers Ye Han's dream of being a salted fish who only eats and waits for death? Now he is running further and further away from the path of being a worker.
They arrived at the palace before they knew it. The two men tidied their appearance and followed the eunuch who led the way to the imperial study.
"Your son and daughter-in-law pay their respects to your father."
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Father." The two men stood up. Ye Han looked around calmly and found that there were only the emperor, the prince and the two of them in the imperial study.
"Find a chair and sit down. There's no one else here."
"Yes." Yue Chengyu took Ye Han to find a seat, just opposite the prince.
"Princess Rui, Prince Rui has already told me about your situation. Let me ask you again, is what Prince Rui said true?" The emperor swept his sharp eyes over.
Ye Han's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure, showing no sign of fear. He stood up and replied, "Father, it's true."
Yue Chengyu looked at Ye Han's calm expression with admiration in his eyes. The Crown Prince, on the other hand, watched the scene with great interest. Honestly, when the Crown Prince first heard the Emperor tell him this, he thought he'd misheard. Even after the Emperor pulled out his so-called tablet and showed him a video of sweet potatoes and potatoes, he couldn't shake his trance. It took him an entire night and half a day to digest the news before he could maintain a calm facade. Of course, he was still restless inside.
"When will the sweet potatoes and potatoes arrive?" The emperor did not first understand what the so-called future would be like. Even though he was curious, he knew what was important and what was not.
"Father, my daughter-in-law has already made some purchases this morning. We've already bought enough for two acres of land. It should arrive in one or two days if it's fast, or four or five days if it's slow."
"Okay, okay! By then, let alone an output of five or six thousand catties, I will reward you handsomely if the output per acre is enough to reach one thousand catties." The emperor was in a good mood.
"Father, your daughter-in-law bought some fruit from over there and brought it over for you and your mother to try."
"Oh? Then I have to try it. I'm really curious about what it contains!" The emperor laughed several times.
"Daughter-in-law, go and ask them to wash first."
"Go ahead."
