Seeing this, she sneered inwardly.
It seems the method I told my sister is no longer valid.
A person like Emperor Shengkang needs to be made to fear him in public.
Otherwise, she was afraid that this bastard, after crossing her bottom line and confirming that he had really become a mortal, might do something to her and her people.
So she smiled, then turned her head to look at the person who said it.
She didn't know the other person's identity, nor could she understand the rank of the official's robes.
Upon hearing this, she took her hand out of her cloak.
At the same time, a large basket was also taken out.
The basket had no lid and was filled to the brim with mouthwatering peaches, grapes, oranges, and persimmons.
Because of their large size, there aren't many of each type.
"Since this is your first meeting with the Emperor, I've brought a small gift. I hope you'll like it!"
As she finished speaking, she handed the fruit basket forward.
Those present glanced at the large fruit basket, then at the fish in the pond.
They couldn't figure out how such a small, thin person could hide such a large fruit basket under a cloak.
They clearly saw that she wasn't holding anything in her hand.
There were no protrusions under the cloak.
Moreover, anyone entering the palace had to undergo multiple body searches.
There's no reason why outsiders wouldn't be able to find out that she was carrying such a large basket of things.
Not to mention, even on such a cold day, once the basket was taken out.
The peach aroma was still very strong.
Why didn't they smell it just now?
Emperor Shengkang, who originally thought that Chi Yu was now a mortal, has been fantasizing about the scene of Chi Yu kneeling before him since yesterday.
Who knew that after summoning the people, she would pull this stunt on herself.
Upon suddenly seeing the fruit basket, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression twisted for a moment.
However, considering that the other party was a fairy and still possessed fairy power, he could only suppress any thoughts he might have.
Therefore, he swept away his previous gloomy mood, turned to smile, and looked at Eunuch Fu, saying:
"Xiao Fuzi, offer Princess Le'an a seat, and bring up some fruit as well."
After speaking, he asked in an exceptionally kind tone:
"Le'an, I wonder if you've settled into your new home in the capital?"
This is what I think: General Zhenwei will be conferred a title soon, and at that time he will be granted a general's mansion.
Since your city of Le'an is already building a princess's mansion, the current residence is actually a gift to your Chi family.
Well, to be precise, it's for your nephew, Chi Sen.
As far as I know, Chi Sen played a crucial role in the surrender of the Northern Barbarians.
However, since the main army has not yet returned, the reward must be put on hold for the time being.
"Right now, that house can only be given in your name."
No one expected that the Emperor would speak to a fish in the mud in such a tone.
Even more unexpectedly, he was explaining why he was given a small house to live in.
The person who had originally asked Chi Yu why he didn't kneel down felt a pang of surprise and looked at Emperor Shengkang with a puzzled expression.
As far as they knew, this woman surnamed Chi came from a humble background and had been divorced and remarried.
The reason she was able to be granted the title of princess was simply because she got lucky and produced high-yield grain seeds.
Why then did the Emperor treat her with such courtesy?
You should know that before he ascended the throne, he was no different from the previous emperor.
Could it be that this Chi family member is comparable to the late emperor?
Chi Yu didn't care what the people present thought; after the grand chair was moved over, she sat down calmly.
