Chapter 409
The officials saw that Ji Xingle had not responded to all the slander they said, and they thought that Ji Xingle was afraid of them, and they were very proud.
The Grand Tutor and his men said a few words to help, but were also attacked indiscriminately by the Prime Minister's gang. The Queen even glared at the Grand Tutor and his men with her eyes wide open.
Seeing the Queen like this, Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows, and when the officials had finished speaking, he raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically;
"Have I eaten your food? Have I drunk your water? Have I spent your money? Have I lived in your house?
You don't have any of these? Then why do you care about my attitude? I'm here to meet the mother and father of my future husband.
I am not here to listen to you slandering me, saying that I have lost the national style. What about you?
You are a bunch of villains. What you have done is not only against the national style, but you don’t even have the national style at all…”
Then he looked at the dark-faced queen again, with the same nonchalant expression, and raised the corners of his mouth;
"You're just going to watch them bully your future son-in-law?"
The empress suddenly felt a pain all over her body at the light and threatening tone. This sudden change made the empress extremely frightened. What was going on? How could this happen?
The ministers were so angry at Ji Xingle's merciless words that they wanted to say something, but they couldn't find any words to refute.
Seeing that they couldn't win the argument, and coupled with her own sudden reaction, the Queen cautiously began to defend herself;
"No, I just happened to be discussing the people's affairs with a few ministers today. Some people in remote areas have had meals.
We are discussing countermeasures, not targeting you at all."
Then, ignoring the livid official's gesture, he said;
"My dear ministers! Let's go back first! We will continue the topic we discussed today next time. Now I have to entertain the guests..."
Hearing this, the officials were unwilling to give in, but they did not dare to challenge the empress. They could only stare at Ji Xingle angrily.
"I will take my leave first..."
As they were preparing to leave, a busybody saw the small box the guards were carrying and sneered in a low voice;
"A great country is so petty..."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle didn't get angry, and smiled at the person who spoke;
"How stingy! Why don't you stay and take a look?"
The person who spoke up didn't expect to be caught. Besides feeling embarrassed, he heard Ji Xingle's boastful tone and said impulsively;
"If you want to stay, then stay. I want to see how big the gift from your great country is..."
Then he bowed to the Queen with a helpless tone;
"Your Majesty, it is this Lord Ji who has come from afar who asked me to stay. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to..."
The other officials also looked at the empress expectantly. Yue'e's father glanced at the empress anxiously, hoping that she would refuse.
But the Queen seemed to be blind. Seeing Ji Xingle being embarrassed, there was a hint of pride in her eyes. She thought she had hidden it well, and looked at Ji Xingle with hesitation.
"this..."
Ji Xingle gave Yue'e's father a calming look and nodded.
"It doesn't matter. You are lucky enough to see these things only because you met me.
Otherwise, in a few hundred or a few thousand years, I don’t know if you will have the honor to see it…”
"hiss..."
Everyone present gasped in shock at Ji Xingle's extremely arrogant tone, and even Yue'e's father frowned slightly.
"Arrogant..."
"I want to see what good thing can make you, Master Ji, so rampant..."
The queen had a helpless expression. If I hadn't seen the gloating in her eyes, I would have almost thought that she was really doing it for Ji Xing's pleasure;
"You... Oh! Forget it, forget it, just open the thing!"
Ji Xingle rolled his eyes at the Queen and said to the guards;
"Open it!"
The guard nodded and opened all the different boxes, revealing the fruits inside.
The Queen, Yue'e's father, and the officials all looked confused;
"what is this?"
"smell good!"
Ji Xingle asked his attendants to bring a stool, and he sat with his legs crossed, looking at their shocked and puzzled expressions, with the corners of his mouth raised, and said with great pride;
"How about it? You don't know what these are, do you?"
The ministers were so shocked by Ji Xingle's question that their faces turned pale and they pretended to be calm.
"Let's see..."
Ji Xingle did not stop him. He turned around and asked Gong Nan to get a basin of clean water and a plate.
Everyone was confused and turned their eyes to Ji Xingle, who extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation;
"Keep watching, watch carefully, and then go home quickly after you finish watching, and don't hinder me from getting married."
"you..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? If I were to ask you, your Shuifan Kingdom is not a small country! Why? The princess' wedding still needs your consent?"
One of the officials, his face red with anger, retorted;
"You are talking nonsense..."
"How could I be talking nonsense? Aren't you standing here today just to control me? What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did?"
Ji Xingle said this and turned his gaze towards the Queen. After the Queen met Ji Xingle's gaze, she looked around with a guilty look.
Yue'e's father looked at the opened boxes of fruit with curious eyes.
The officials were speechless and their faces turned red with anger because of Ji Xingle. But now seeing the boxes of colorful things, they didn't want to quarrel with Ji Xingle anymore.
Shamelessly, he snorted and focused on observing the contents of the box.
The Taifu and the others thought that since they hadn't picked on Ji Xingle, Ji Xingle wouldn't say anything bad to them, so they were about to ask Ji Xingle what these things were...
Huangfu Xinyue came right after finishing breakfast. Seeing the fruits on the ground, she was stunned for a moment. She first bowed to the Queen and Yue'e's father, then stood up and looked at Ji Xingle with joy.
"Master Ji, you are..."
"Brother Yue, do you know what this is?"
Yue'e's father asked curiously.
"Yes, I know."
Hearing this, the officials looked at Huangfu Xinyue with burning eyes, waiting for him to answer them.
Just at this moment, a palace servant came with a basin of clean water. Huangfu Xinyue looked towards Ji Xingle with joy when she saw him.
"This is?"
"Didn't you say that your royal father likes to eat fruit? Now that it's here, let him try some first..."
"Thank you, Master Ji."
After Huangfu Xinyue finished speaking, he walked towards the fruit and asked Gong Nan to pick up his favorite cherries, strawberries, mangosteens, and sugar apples and started washing them.
She also taught the palace servants how to peel mangosteen and process sugar apples, without even mentioning the names of the fruits, which made the officials anxious...
When Yue'e's father heard the word "fruit", he was curious and delighted. When he saw the palace men washing the fruits, he had a strong desire for the first time, that is, he wanted to replace the palace men to do this job.
After Huangfu Xinyue prepared all the fruits, she asked the palace servants to serve them to the empress and Yue'e's father. The empress seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and looked at the so-called fruits with shining eyes.
He swallowed unconsciously and was about to reach out to take it.
Ji Xingle looked at the queen with burning eyes and said;
"Give it to your royal father! After all, he didn't collude with outsiders to bully me..."
