Wen Yu chuckled and sat down behind the emperor.
The ministers and generals also sat down according to their seats.
Seeing this scene, the ministers seemed to be dreaming back to the day when Lu Ren requested for marriage.
But the difference is that the princess was not there that day, but today, the princess was sitting high in the palace, yawning.
Ministers: ...
After the emperor finished his official remarks and rewarded the merits, Wen Yu was already beginning to feel drowsy.
It was not until the meal was served that she perked up a little.
Seeing the black grapes on the table, Wen Yu took a bite. They were sour and sweet and very delicious. They seemed to have been chilled in ice and had an excellent taste.
So I ate another one.
The emperor asked, "The annual production of these black jade grapes is very small and they are not easy to preserve. Outside the palace, one grape is worth a ton of gold. How do you think it tastes, sister?"
Wen Yu: ...
Is there hunger marketing these days?
But these grapes taste really good, and they are seedless grapes.
At this time, the emperor said: "I have ordered people to send some to the princess's residence. If my sister likes it, send those in my palace as well."
Wen Yu was very moved when she heard this: "No need, my royal brother, the yield is small so you can keep it for yourself."
"I do not indulge in the desire for food."
"Ah, I feel so embarrassed to give all of them to me..."
"I think my sister likes it very much."
"No need, my brother. Why are you being so polite to me?"
The emperor nodded upon hearing this and said, "In that case, I will not be polite to my sister. I will keep these black jade grapes."
Wen Yu: ...
No, she was just being polite! Why did you take it so seriously?!
"Well, my royal brother, please send them all to the princess's residence. I won't be polite to you anymore. I'm afraid that if I get polite, you really won't send them to me."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
"Didn't the Imperial Sister say that it would be embarrassing to give it all to you?"
Wen Yu said confidently: "Do you think I am that kind of person?"
The emperor smiled and raised his hand to the palace servants: "Send all the black jade grapes in my palace to the princess's mansion."
Upon hearing this, the palace servant whispered, "Your Majesty, are the black jade in your palace and the share of Concubine Shu also to be sent to the Princess's residence?"
Just as the emperor was about to speak, Wen Yu said, "No, I only want my brother's share."
emperor:……
After the palace maid left, Wen Yu shook her head and said, "Royal brother, you can't do this. There are so many people in the harem, and you only send grapes to Concubine Shu? Learn from me, your sister, and treat everyone equally."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's wait until my sister's harem is as large as mine, and then we can talk about equal treatment."
Wen Yu: ...
"In fact, I did treat everyone equally. I didn't reward anyone in the harem. The one that Shufei got was because she annoyed me for a long time."
Wen Yu commented sharply: "Royal brother, you are so stingy, one? How can you do such a thing?"
emperor:……?
"Not like me~"
Wen Yu divided a bunch of grapes into four parts, kept one part for herself, and then said: "Come here, send it to Lu Ren, Yue Lingfeng, and Jiang Qi, let them have a taste~"
emperor:……
Take his "flowers" and offer them to her "Buddha".
The three of them were stunned when they received the grapes. They all recognized this black jade. It was worth a gold coin to buy one. The production was extremely small. It was said that less than five bunches could be obtained in a year. It was a tribute exclusively to His Majesty.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Even the concubines in the harem are not qualified to enjoy this black jade.
The other ministers' eyes also followed the grapes and fell on the three people.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
This black jade grape is not just a rare fruit, it has even been given a certain meaning.
If the emperor bestows a black jade on one of his subjects, it means that he is in the emperor's favor.
It seems that the one who wins the most favor from the emperor is indeed the eldest princess...
And the eldest princess is also very generous!
She actually gave three small hangs to her men!
Lu Ren and the other two suppressed the curves of their lips; this was the princess's favoritism towards them!
They looked at Wen Yu with burning eyes, and stood up at the same time and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your reward."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
So, in front of the court officials, the three men peeled the grapes and put them into their mouths.
Minister:…
I'm so jealous. I've said it so many times.
emperor:……
He gave the best to his sister, but she actually said he was stingy...
At this moment, a peeled black jade grape, crystal clear like glass, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Wen Yu's pink fingertips pinched the bottom edge of the grape and brought it to his lips. She curled her eyes and said, "Royal brother, you are so kind."
emperor:……
"Didn't you just say that I'm stingy?"
"Just to tease you."
"I think my sister feels this way from the bottom of her heart."
"No, you're just very nice."
"I'm not feeling well at all."
The emperor was actually a little angry. To be precise, he was not angry, but rather a little unhappy.
Whatever the imperial sister wants, he will give it to her if he can, and if he can't give it to her, he will create the conditions to give it to her.
Anyone can say that he is stingy, although no one dares to say it, but the only person who cannot be said to be stingy is the royal sister.
"Royal brother, are you sulking?"
"Is my stomach so small?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu shook the grapes in her hand, her willow-shaped eyebrows seemed to be frowned, and she blinked at the emperor.
"Royal brother, my hands are sore from lifting them..."
emperor:……
He sighed and took the grapes in his hand.
"Okay, if I get angry over such a small matter, then wouldn't I be pissed off by you eight hundred times every day?"
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Royal brother, you are so kind."
The emperor put the grapes in his mouth and said, "Stop flattering me."
"I really mean it."
"All right."
Wen Yu poked his arm and said, "Can I take Lu Ren back to the princess's mansion later?"
emperor:……
So he was just trying to flatter her. Forget it, his sister, he still doesn't understand her? What else can he do? Just pamper her...
"Royal sister, don't make too much noise at night."
Wen Yu knew that he agreed: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
emperor:……
