After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 223 Lu Xingzhi was dizzy due to the smoke
The people on Dayan's side covered their mouths and noses even tighter.

Only the envoys from Canglang Kingdom looked at Qiao Jingjing in shock.

Xiao Yanzhao also looked shocked.

Her method of opening the cat fruit was so skillful, she had obviously done it many times.

But looking at other countries, only Canglang Country has Cat Fruit.

Not to mention eating it, people from other countries have never seen it.

Since this woman is from Dayan, how could she have the opportunity to come into contact with Maoguo?

"You...are not from the Yan Kingdom?" Xiao Yanzhao couldn't help but asked.

Qiao Jingjing took out the last pulp and put it on a plate.

Hearing this, I was shocked, but quickly calmed down.

She ignored Xiao Yanzhao, took off the veil, grabbed a piece of durian and ate it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanzhao said nothing more.

She raised her eyes and said, "Why did the prince say this? In fact, I am an out-and-out member of the Yan Kingdom."

But this girl ate with gusto, as if no one else was watching.

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Jingjing paused for a moment, then pointed at Lu Xingzhi, "This is my husband, tell me, how do I know the cat fruit?"

too delicious!

Hearing his voice, Qiao Jingjing reacted and put down the durian.

Fortunately, Lu Xingzhi can still be used to block it.

She narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

When I first saw her skillfully opening the cat fruit, I would naturally become suspicious.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Since this official knew about Mao Guo, it was reasonable that this woman, as his wife, would know about it.

Xiao Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the two people sitting together were obviously a couple.

Why did Mrs. Lu just eat what she said?
How could she look like she was enjoying eating something so smelly?

After all, durian is a rare fruit in this era.

But it’s no wonder Xiao Yanzhao would raise questions.

Seeing that she had eaten one and then another, unable to stop at all, he finally couldn't help coughing lightly and reminded in a low voice, "Be more restrained, this is a palace banquet."

Aren't you afraid of being poisonous?
Lu Xingzhi didn't like the smell of durian, but he happened to sit next to Qiao Jingjing.

"In that case, how do you recognize this cat fruit?" Xiao Yanzhao looked at her suspiciously.

The weird smell continued to penetrate his nose, making him dizzy.

She raised her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by eyes staring straight at her.

Seeing this, she blinked, wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, and apologized: "I'm sorry, everyone."

The corners of Xia Houxi's mouth twitched, and she absolutely doubted that she could have continued to eat without Lao Lu reminding her.

In front of the emperor, she was the first person to eat extravagantly.

Duke Qin also shook his head secretly, this girl is really interesting.

Qin Xuan looked at Qiao Jingjing in confusion, why did she know how to open the cat fruit?
Even the well-informed Lu Xingzhi didn't understand.

Or is it that Lu Xingzhi actually knew and deliberately said he didn't understand? In fact, it was he who taught Qiao Jingjing?
Qin Xuan had a series of questions in his heart.

Qin Yue'er looked at Qiao Jingjing with disgust. This bitch really knows how to steal the spotlight!

"Mrs. Lu, is the cat fruit delicious?" The eldest princess looked curiously at the fruit pulp on the plate in front of Qiao Jingjing.

After her reminder, Qiao Jingjing immediately reacted and said seriously: "Elder Princess, this sacred fruit of the Canglang Kingdom is indeed not an ordinary product. It is really delicious." As she said that, she looked at Chu Ye and The empress dowager apologized for her behavior just now, "Your Majesty, empress dowager, I have just tasted it for you. There is nothing wrong with this cat fruit." After that, she picked up the plate and handed it to the maid waiting on the side, "Quickly Present it to the Emperor and the Queen Mother for a taste."

The durian just now had six blossoms, and all of them were plump, shiny and sweet.

Unfortunately, this was at a palace banquet. No matter how much she wanted to eat it, she could only reluctantly part with it.

Fortunately, she had already eaten two, which was enough to satisfy her craving.

After the maid left with the plate, Qiao Jingjing turned her attention to the cat fruit in the box and said to Xiao Yanzhao: "Prince, I took out the pulp of the fruit intact as you requested. Please honor your promise."

Xiao Yanzhao was a little angry, but in front of everyone, he couldn't get angry again, otherwise it would appear that he was too petty.

At that moment, he waved his hand and asked someone to carry Mao Guo in front of Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing was so excited that she clenched Lu Xingzhi's sleeves.

Lots of durian.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her helplessly, pinched her fingers, and told her to calm down.

Only then did Qiao Jingjing suppress her excitement.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment and said to the emperor on the high throne: "The Lord of the Canglang Kingdom came all the way to send this holy fruit with great kindness. Even if the emperor doesn't like this fruit, he should accept it."

Just as he tasted the so-called holy fruit, the emperor, who was already conquered by the taste, put down his spoon and said seriously: "What Lu Aiqing said is true. I accept this holy fruit with a smile." After saying that, he glanced at Qiao. Jingjing stared at Mao Guo eagerly, paused, and added, "In addition, Mrs. Lu can pick five of them and take them away. I will reward you."

Qiao Jingjing had no hope at all.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the durian is a tribute brought by the Canglang Kingdom. It was originally dedicated to the emperor. Even if the prince of the Canglang Kingdom promised to give it to her, she could not cut off her beard.

But now that the emperor spoke in person, it was another matter.

Qiao Jingjing immediately thanked her, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

At that moment, she happily picked five large durians from the box, then took one and started opening it again.

She was not disappointed. This time she opened six more pulps and gave one to Lu's father and mother, Lu Shuangshuang.

The three of them were curious about durian and tried to take a bite.

But when it was Lu Xingzhi's turn, he shook his head patiently, "I won't eat it."

"You really don't want to eat?"

"Don't eat."

Qiao Jingjing shrugged, forget it, she would eat it herself.

As he was enjoying his delicious meal, Xia Houxi suddenly came over and said with a flattering look on his face, "Mrs. Sister-in-law..."

When Qiao Jingjing saw him staring at the remaining pulp on her plate, the corner of her mouth twitched and she said, "This actually doesn't taste good."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good. I just want to taste the holy fruit of the Canglang Kingdom." Xia Houxi said with a serious look on his face.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Finally, she picked the smallest one and gave it to him.

After Xia Houxi took a bite, her eyes immediately lit up. After finishing one, she stared at her plate again.

Qiao Jingjing immediately protected the plate with both hands, "Mr. Xiahou, please come back."

Xia Houxi pointed to the unopened cat fruit and said in a negotiating tone: "Sister-in-law, give me one and treat you to dinner another day."

Qiao Jingjing decisively refused, "No need, the food I cook is also delicious." But she ate one less durian, and she didn't know if she would have a chance to eat it next time.

Xia Houxi: "..."
