After Ji Wu finished applying the medicinal mud for the second time, she saw Miss Su eating a peach.

The aroma of peaches hit her right in the head, making her mouth water.

The Four Directions Pavilion also offers peaches, but Ji Wu has never tasted them and has no interest in trying them.

But this time was different. Ji Wu felt as if every pore of her body was screaming, expressing her desire to eat peaches.

Ji Wu swallowed hard and asked, "May I ask where Miss Su bought these peaches?"

"I grew them myself."

The peach tree was originally planted in the space, but after arriving in the capital, it was moved to the backyard of Gu's Tea House.

Everyone who has seen this peach tree has praised it.

This peach tree was exceptionally lush, more lush than any other peach tree, and it bore an unusually large and abundant harvest of fruit.

The aroma of peaches is so strong that the customers in the teahouse can smell it and ask every day why the teahouse smells so strongly of peaches.

Su Qianqian showed Ji Wu the bitten peach flesh. The peach flesh was full of juice and glistening, making one want to take a bite.

"These peaches have beauty and skin-nourishing effects, Miss Ji, you can tell just by looking at my face."

From the very first moment Ji Wu met Su Qianqian, she was incredibly envious of Su Qianqian's flawless face.

Women will do anything for beauty.

Moreover, as the empress of a country, Ji Wu was not short of money.

"Miss Su, since you grew them yourself, name your price. I'd like to buy some to try."

"Five thousand taels for a peach. If Miss Ji thinks it's too expensive, you can ask around in public. Someone offered three thousand taels before, but I didn't sell it. These peaches are only for those who are destined to have them."

The reason they were willing to sell to Ji Wu was that they thought the peaches could help Ji Wu restore her appearance.

After all, Ji Wu's face is now under her control, and Ji Wu is now her cash cow.

Ji Wu kept hearing Su Qianqian's words about beauty and skincare. She desperately wanted to become beautiful, so she actually spent five thousand taels of silver.

Holding the huge peach as she stepped out of Gu's Tea House, a cool breeze blew in her face, and she suddenly shivered.

Damn it, I must have been bewitched by the aroma of the peaches to become such a fool, spending five thousand taels to buy a single peach.

If others find out, they'll definitely laugh themselves to death.

After Ji Wu returned to Sifang Pavilion, she told General Gongsun and the Imperial Advisor about buying peaches for five thousand taels of silver.

"This isn't the first time I've fallen for that girl's tricks. Once my face is healed, I'll make that girl know how powerful our Western Xia is."

General Gongsun was furious and chopped down a small tree in the courtyard with a single stroke.

"Damn it, it must be Miss Su who pressured Her Majesty the Empress into handing over the money by threatening to cure her face."

Once Her Majesty the Empress's face is healed, he will tear that little girl to pieces.

Ji Wu couldn't resist the aroma of the peaches.

She refused the maid's help and washed the peaches herself, again and again.

The peaches are pink and plump, looking very delicious.

The Imperial Advisor looked at the peach as if it were a treasure. "Your Majesty, this peach contains special energy; it's a wonderful thing."

The Imperial Advisor sensed that this peach was a life-extending treasure, and he could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations within it.

General Gongsun curled his lip and said, "What a load of rubbish! People always think that expensive things are good. It's so stupid!"

Upon hearing the Grand Preceptor's words, Ji Wu was certain that the peach was indeed extraordinary, for the Grand Preceptor never spoke boastfully.

Ji Wu couldn't wait to get back into the house and finished the peach in a few bites. She felt the peach was still fragrant and delicious.

Moreover, I felt extremely comfortable and light all over, like never before.

The Imperial Advisor was right; these peaches are indeed no ordinary fruit.

Ji Wu regretted only buying one peach.

As the most esteemed Empress of the Western Xia Kingdom, she could afford a peach costing five thousand taels of silver.

The next day, Ji Wu brought 50,000 taels of silver notes, intending to buy ten peaches at once.

The wish was beautiful, but Su Qianqian rejected it.

"Miss Ji, you've eaten them before, so you should know that these peaches are no ordinary fruit. I can only sell you one a day."

Ji Wu wasn't angry at all, because according to the latest information she had received, someone came to Gu Ji's shop last night with five thousand taels of silver, but Miss Su didn't sell the peaches to that person.

What does this mean? It means that she, the Empress of Western Xia, still has some influence with Miss Su. At least Miss Su is willing to sell to her, albeit in limited quantities.

Ji Wu remembered that the Imperial Advisor also wanted to buy something, so she had someone call the Imperial Advisor in.

As for whether Miss Su would sell to the Imperial Advisor, she wasn't sure. In any case, she could only buy one peach a day, so she certainly wouldn't give her peach to the Imperial Advisor.

The Imperial Advisor was as thin as a sheet of paper, as if he had been blown into the room by the wind.

This time, he was much more polite to Miss Su. He bowed respectfully as he entered before asking, "Miss Su, may I buy a peach?"

There was no other way; when you need someone's help, you have to lower yourself.

"Yes, of course, but you'll be charged a different price. I sell Miss Ji for 5,000 taels each, but I'll sell you for 10,000 taels. Miss Ji is for beauty and skincare, while you're for prolonging your life, so the price is naturally different."

The Imperial Advisor's health is now extremely poor; you can tell just by looking at how thin he is, like a paper doll.

The Imperial Advisor looked at Miss Su, who was eating a peach, and smelled the rich aroma. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Alright, I'll buy it."

Any expense is worthwhile if it can prolong life.

"Wait a minute, I have one more condition. Grand Preceptor, please swear to the heavens that no matter what happens in the future, you will never attack me, otherwise I will not sell it to you."

Imperial Advisor: Buying a peach is really difficult; there are so many conditions.

This young girl possesses a shrewdness beyond her years.

"Alright, Miss Su, I promise you."

After the imperial advisor swore an oath to the heavens, he finally succeeded in buying a peach.

After leaving the teahouse, he didn't even wash the peach; he simply wiped it on his clothes and then ate it.

I felt a warm sensation flowing from my throat to my limbs and bones.

The Imperial Preceptor was once so weak that he would feel cold even in the sweltering heat of summer.

Now I feel warm all over, and it's incredibly pleasant.

But that wasn't enough; he needed to buy even more peaches.

I just wonder what conditions Miss Su will offer next.

It's so hard to buy a peach.

Even if Miss Su refuses to sell next time, he cannot steal from her, because he just swore today that he would never lay a hand on Miss Su, otherwise he would be punished by heaven.

People like him who study Taoism are different from ordinary people. If they break their vows, they will definitely be punished by Heaven.

Therefore, if he wanted to buy peaches in the future, he would have to fawn over Miss Su.

So, who exactly is this Miss Su, that she can grow such miraculous peaches? Is she a favorite of the heavens?
