At first, Ying Zheng scolded Feng Quji for stealing his fruits, and even frightened Feng Quji, thinking that his majesty had discovered that he had stolen a tomato to satisfy his grandson's craving.
But the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong. How could one tomato affect the entire banquet?
"Don't make excuses! If you hadn't picked them secretly, how could a vegetable greenhouse as big as mine, with fruits growing so vigorously, not be enough for a banquet?"
Ying Zheng didn't believe his words at all and was even more angry than before.
"Your Majesty, I swear to God, since I started taking care of the vegetable greenhouse, I have only picked that one tomato for my grandson! Apart from that, there is nothing else...!"
Feng Quji bowed his head and said sincerely, "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate! All the surrounding neighbors and servants in the old minister's house can testify!"
"Um?"
After hearing what he said, Ying Zheng held his chin and began to think about it.
Judging from the state and posture of this old guy, it doesn't look like he is lying at all.
But if he wasn't lying, where were all the vegetables in his greenhouse?
"Your Majesty, the vegetable greenhouse was built a little late, so the sowing will naturally be late. Although the vegetable seedlings are growing vigorously now, they have just begun to mature! It will take a few days for large quantities of vegetables to mature smoothly, and then they will naturally be able to supply Your Majesty! Today’s banquet really has nothing to do with me!”
Seeing that Ying Zheng's attitude had relaxed, Feng Quji took advantage of the situation to excuse himself.
"But that boy...?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then realized, "This brat! He wants to drive a wedge between you and me, the monarch and my ministers!"
"I don't know what His Majesty said to the Supreme Emperor, but except for that one tomato, I really didn't touch any fruit in this shed! Winter vegetables are as good as gold, how can I pick them back and enjoy them myself?"
Vegetable greenhouses are expensive to build, and it costs a lot to maintain a certain temperature every day.
Even if he had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to just pick vegetables and go home!
The tomato he gave to his grandson was because he begged him in every possible way, so he picked the smallest one and gave it to him!
"Okay, it doesn't matter if the child eats two tomatoes, so you don't have to worry about it! What happened today is that I trusted that kid. I wonder if I won't go back to settle the score with him!"
Ying Zheng put his hands on his hips and blew his beard.
"Your Majesty may be joking with you!"
Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief and said a polite word.
"Hmph! How can such a joke be made so easily?"
Ying Zheng said angrily.
"Your Majesty, look, there are a lot of small fruits in this shed. As long as the fertilizer and water are right, there will be a steady stream of fresh vegetables to eat in a few days!"
Feng Quji really just said a polite word and then changed the subject.
His Majesty almost accused him of deceiving the emperor and almost lost his head. It was appropriate for the Supreme Emperor to go back and question him.
Not only that, but when he gets the chance, he will have to ask His Majesty why he was wronged for no reason!
I am almost sixty years old, how many more years can I live? He doesn't want it to end early!
"Yeah! It's really good!"
Under the leadership of Feng Quji, Ying Zheng wandered around the shed.
Looking at the waves of promising vegetables, I nodded with satisfaction.
After walking around the entire greenhouse, Ying Zheng took the people away!
Returning to the palace, he immediately went to Guanghua Palace, but failed.
"Where did that kid go?"
An angry Ying Zheng questioned the chamberlain on duty.
"Back to...the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty is at Yuxiu Palace!"
Facing his dark face, the waiter's heart trembled somewhat and he answered cautiously.
Ying Zheng paused and did not respond. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave!
After going out, he muttered to himself, "Humph! This kid knew that I would come to settle accounts with him, but he found a shelter for himself first!"
Yuxiu Palace is Lian'er's bedroom, and Lian'er protects her son, so she will definitely not let him be too harsh when the time comes!
…
"Mom, please try this mutton! It has just been shipped from Xiongnu County. The meat is fresh and tender, and it is most suitable for tonic in late autumn!"
As soon as Ying Zheng walked to the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
This sound made him love and hate it at the same time.
The development of their country, Da Qin, relied on this kid's quirky little head.
At the same time, this kid also used a lot of bad ideas against these old guys, and tormented them one by one!
"Mother, this cold cucumber dish is also good! It's not easy to eat such fresh vegetables in winter!"
"Yes! Thanks to my husband's vegetable greenhouse, otherwise, we would have to eat the radishes and potatoes stored in the cellar now!"
"Yep……!"
Looking at the various vegetables on the table, Wang Wan and others spoke happily.
This is like marrying into the palace. Otherwise, you won’t even see any greenery in the winter!
"boom……"
Ying Zheng stood at the door, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
Hearing the women mention the vegetable greenhouse, he was suddenly pulled back.
His anger rose and he pushed the door open.
The two door panels hit the wall, making a loud noise and startling everyone in the room!
"Brother Zheng! What are you doing?"
After being shocked for a moment, Lian'er frowned and said slightly complaining.
"Hmph! What are you doing? You'd better ask this kid first and see what he did!"
Ying Zheng pointed angrily at Ying Feiyu and yelled.
"Feiyu?"
Lian'er looked at Ying Feiyu subconsciously.
Ying Feiyu, on the other hand, blinked and skillfully pretended to be innocent, "Mother, I don't know what your father means by this, do you?"
"I don't know? Do you have the nerve to tell me?"
Seeing him like this, Ying Zheng became even more angry and wanted to slap him.
"Brother Zheng, please tell me what you have to say! Didn't you leave the palace and go to the Feng Mansion?"
She knew that Ying Zheng was going out, and she probably understood the reason.
But he didn't expect to get angry at his son when he came back. What on earth was going on?
"That's right! Fortunately, I went on this trip, otherwise, I still wouldn't be able to figure out the truth of the matter!"
Ying Zheng put his hands on his hips and puffed out his belly angrily, which looked a bit rounder than Yu Ji, who was pregnant with twins.
"The truth? What truth?"
The more Lian'er listened, the less she understood.
"At today's banquet, this boy deliberately spoke to sow discord between me and Feng Aiqing! Fortunately, I was aware of the situation and did not directly accuse him. Otherwise, wouldn't I be accused of being ignorant and falsely accusing a loyal minister?"
Ying Zheng pointed at Ying Feiyu and yelled.
"Above the banquet... sowing dissension?"
Lian'er was confused after hearing this and looked at her son.
"My mother is also at the royal sisters' homecoming banquet. My mother knows best what I said, so why are they sowing discord?"
Ying Feiyu still pretended to be extremely aggrieved and pitiful.
