After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 222 The turmoil continues
Except for the envoys from the Canglang Kingdom, everyone in the Yan Kingdom looked at the contents of the box with disgust. Only Qiao Jingjing had a different reaction.

She was looking at the box with bright eyes. If you look carefully, you can see her swallowing saliva.

It’s durian!
Qiao Jingjing was extremely surprised.

Xiao Yanzhao looked at the reactions of everyone on Dayan's side and felt happy, finally getting back a win.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

Dayan, these bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world, he will smoke them to death!

Xiao Yanzhao is full of malice.

The people in Dayan Kingdom had come to their senses at this time and put down their hands covering their mouths and noses.

Although they don't know what it is, they cannot lose the prestige of their country.

Even if the stench is overwhelming, they still have to hold on.

He was also the one who spoke out to resolve the stalemate between the two countries.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhao thought he had got the game back, and said with an arrogant look: "I thought Mr. Lu was omnipotent. It turns out he doesn't know how to open the cat fruit. That's a pity. This cat fruit is a rare fruit in the world. Since None of you understand it, and it seems that it’s not rare, so we can only take this cat fruit back.”

Lu Xingzhi smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Before the envoy from the Canglang Kingdom could explain, a cold voice sounded first, "Your Majesty, this thing is called civet fruit. It is the sacred fruit of their Canglang Kingdom. Because of its special growth environment, the entire Canglang Kingdom also There are only a few surviving plants, and since they ripen once a year, they don’t produce many fruits every year, so they are regarded as sacred fruits by Canglang Country.”

They didn't expect that someone in the Great Yan Dynasty would actually know this cat fruit, and they were right about it. They even knew that it was their king's favorite.

This official, despite his young age, should not be underestimated.

"I see." The emperor nodded, "So, this fruit is edible?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him and said, "As far as I know, you can eat the meat inside by removing the thorny fruit pot. Prince, am I right?"

Xiao Yanzhao came back to his senses and snorted coldly, "You can recognize that this is cat fruit, but you may not know how to eat it."

Everyone finally understood.

"Lu Shangshu is really knowledgeable and talented!" The minister of the Canglang Kingdom praised him after he came back to his senses.

He didn't expect that the prince opened the box rashly without any introduction.

Even Xiao Yanzhao put aside his contempt and looked at Lu Xingzhi carefully.

Xiao Yanzhao choked, "Yes, if you remove the prickly shell, you can take out the pulp inside. Does Mr. Lu know how to open the fruit without destroying the pulp inside?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I just happened to read it in a book. I don't know if it is correct or not. It made you laugh." Lu Xingzhi said modestly.

All the envoys from Canglang Kingdom were surprised when they heard this.

For a moment, all the envoys were shocked.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Although its smell is strong and unpleasant, it is said to taste excellent and very nourishing. It is the favorite fruit of the Canglang Kingdom."

The Minister of Canglang Kingdom who presented the congratulatory gift looked at his prince helplessly.

"What is this?" Chu Ye finally couldn't help but ask.

People who have never seen cat fruit will be very repelled and afraid of the smell of cat fruit.

The prince of the Canglang Kingdom is still brooding about what happened in the past, and he wants to use this cat fruit to humiliate them.

What a petty person!
For a moment, the officials from Dayan Kingdom felt angry and ridiculous.

But they didn’t know much about this cat fruit, and it was their first time hearing about it, let alone how to eat it.

Of course, they didn't care about this thing, but they just couldn't see the pride of the Canglang Kingdom prince, and it seemed that they were very unworldly.

Xiao Yanzhao glanced at the whole audience with contempt in his eyes, and raised his hand to cover the box back, but at this moment, a clear female voice sounded, "Why should the prince be anxious? Although cat fruits are rare, the prince has come all the way to deliver gifts. How can I have the nerve to take it back? It seems like your country can’t afford it.”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yanzhao's expression changed. But Chu Ye and a group of Yan officials were very happy.

Mrs. Lu said it very well!

The prince of Canglang Kingdom is so petty that he has the nerve to take the gift back to his door.

Although they don't care about the cat fruit.

Xiao Yanzhao reacted at this time, looked at Qiao Jingjing with squinted eyes, and said in a bad tone: "This lady is very clever with her words, does she know how to open this cat fruit?"

He was sure that the other party didn't know how to open her mouth. He said this just because he wanted to see her get slapped in the face.

Qin Yue'er, not far away, also looked at Qiao Jingjing with disdain.

A village girl is a village girl, she obviously doesn't understand, but she insists on being in the limelight.

How will she step down from the stage soon?

Others were a little anxious.

Even Mr. Lu doesn’t know how to get the pulp from durian, and Mrs. Lu doesn’t even know how to do it, right?

Lu Xingzhi was not worried.

When Qiao Jingjing opened her mouth, he knew that she understood.

"The prince is right, I really know how to open this cat fruit." Qiao Jingjing said calmly under the questioning eyes of everyone.

Xiao Yanzhao gave her a mocking look.

He absolutely did not believe that she could open cat fruit.

After all, even the people of the Canglang Kingdom have never eaten or seen this cat fruit. How could she, a woman from the Yan Kingdom, be more knowledgeable?

At that moment, he didn't say much. He actually picked a huge cat fruit from the box and placed it on the table in front of Qiao Jingjing. "Then let's ask this lady to demonstrate it for everyone."

Looking at the durian in front of her, Qiao Jingjing secretly took a sip of saliva.

Durian.

Her favorite fruit.

She thought she would never be able to eat durian in her life, but she didn't expect to see durian here today.

She was excited and excited, but she suppressed it and said to Xiao Yanzhao: "If I take out the pulp inside completely, can the prince keep all the cat fruit?"

Xiao Yanzhao sneered, "Wait until you take out the pulp intact. Prince Rong Ben reminds you that this cat fruit cannot be treated with brute force. Improper force will destroy the pulp inside."

"Thank you, Prince, for reminding me. Please promise me first." Qiao Jingjing stared at him with burning eyes.

Xiao Yanzhao snorted coldly, "If you can take out the pulp intact, why not give those cat fruits to you?"

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved, turned to the emperor on the high seat and said, "Your Majesty, please have someone prepare a dagger and a clean plate for my wife."

At the palace banquet, except for the guards who carry knives, they are not allowed to carry knives or swords, and there are no usable daggers on the table.

Although Chu Ye didn't show it, he was very unhappy with Xiao Yanzhao's repeated troubles.

However, none of the officials on his side, except Lu Aiqing, knew the so-called cat fruit, let alone how to take out the pulp inside intact.

Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Lu seemed to know some tricks.

When he heard her request, he immediately sent someone what she wanted without any hesitation.

After Qiao Jingjing took the dagger, she took out the handkerchief and wrapped it around her left hand. She then grabbed the durian with her left hand and held the dagger in her right hand. She first cut off the root of the durian, and then used the tip of the knife to slowly pierce it down along the lines.

After a while, the pulp inside was exposed.

The fragrance of durian is stronger in the air.
