The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

When Emperor Qi Jing arrived at Fengming Palace, he found three more peaches in the basket.

Great, he finally made it! He's going to eat at least two of these three big peaches.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending me these peaches. They are so delicious that they could be called celestial peaches."

When the Empress saw that Emperor Qi Jing was drooling, she knew that the emperor had come to Fengming Palace to eat peaches, so she quickly ordered the palace maids to wash the peaches.

After Emperor Jing of Qi finished eating the three peaches, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

These peaches are so delicious that anyone would be tempted to eat them, but the Queen gave them all to him. She really loves him.

His queen was pregnant and needed delicious fruit even more than he did.

"It's all my fault for being too greedy; I ate the Empress's share too."

The Empress smiled and explained, "These peaches were sent to the Duke of Anguo's residence by Miss Su. My parents thought they were good, so they immediately sent them to the palace. They were originally intended for His Majesty."

Emperor Qi Jing felt even more strongly that the Empress's entire family was very loyal, and that they all thought of him when they received something good.

Moreover, Emperor Qi Jing realized something: these peaches must be the ones that Lord Lu mentioned, the peaches that Miss Su sold to the Western Xia National Preceptor for ten thousand taels each.

It is indeed a bit expensive, but it tastes really good.

After Emperor Qi Jing ate the peach, he had long forgotten about Lord Lu, who was waiting outside the Imperial Study.

He was invited to stay for dinner by the Empress, and chatted with her for a while before remembering that Minister Lu was still waiting for him.

Lord Lu stood outside the Imperial Study, basking in the sun all afternoon. He suffered from heatstroke and felt dizzy. He pinched his thighs many times to keep from fainting.

He was waiting for the emperor, determined to have the emperor severely punish Miss Su.

Lord Lu waited until dark before Emperor Qi Jing returned.

He hurried forward, about to say something, when he heard Emperor Qi Jing say, "I hereby punish Miss Su by forbidding her from selling peaches for ten thousand taels of silver each."

After all, she was his cousin's beloved fiancée. If the punishment was too severe, his cousin would definitely cause trouble. His uncle also had a bad temper and might even storm into the palace to beat him.

And the Empress Dowager will also come to cause him trouble.

He has no desire to get into trouble.

Besides, Miss Su's peaches are really delicious.

If he has enough money, he is willing to buy it.

However, recently, in entertaining the Western Xia people, we've been giving them gifts and money, which has almost emptied the national treasury.

If we stop Miss Su from selling peaches for ten thousand taels of silver, maybe some of the peaches will end up being sent to the palace.

Thinking about it, I realize that the order I gave was perfect in every way.

"It's getting late, Minister Lu, you should go back to your residence and rest early."

Lord Lu was quite disappointed. His Majesty only restricted Miss Su from selling peaches for 10,000 taels each in the future, but did not intend to pursue the matter of selling peaches at high prices in the past.

Moreover, the emperor's request for him to return to his residence early indicated that he did not want to continue this topic.

When Lord Lu arrived, he was full of vigor and high spirits, but when he left, he was dejected, like a rooster that had lost a battle.

He silently comforted himself, saying that it wasn't a wasted trip; Emperor Qi Jing's order was tantamount to cutting off Miss Su's source of income.

The Empress of Western Xia arrived at Gu's Teahouse early in the morning with her imperial advisor.

Because Su Qianqian promised the Queen of Western Xia that she would sell her a peach every day.

This peach became Empress Ji Wu's daily thought before going to sleep. Never before had anything made her so attached. She felt that the previous twenty-odd years of her life had been wasted. Only a life that could enjoy the immortal peach would be a perfect life.

The Imperial Advisor also had a great desire for peaches.

He had eaten a peach earlier and felt much better.

The Imperial Preceptor's body was already completely exhausted. The Empress of Western Xia searched for the most famous doctors in the world for him, but she could not stop his death.

But after eating Miss Su's peaches, he felt that he could live again.

So today I'm full of hope and want to buy another one.

But then Miss Su said, "The emperor has issued an edict that I can no longer sell peaches for 10,000 taels each."

The Imperial Advisor was furious. Who on earth had gone to the Emperor of Qi to spread rumors and cut off his path to buying peaches? It was utterly despicable!

We need to find out more about this; that person must be made to pay the price.

The Imperial Advisor was determined to get the peaches and suggested, "Miss Su, the Emperor said that peaches cannot be sold for ten thousand taels each, so how about I offer eleven thousand taels?"

My heart was bleeding as I said this.

Originally, 10,000 taels was expensive enough, but now they want to add another 1,000 taels.

If he finds out who caused him to spend extra money, he'll definitely beat that person to a pulp.

Most importantly, I'm so afraid that Miss Su will refuse!

"Alright, deal. Grand Preceptor, remember the oath you swore: never lay a hand on me."

"Yes, Miss Su, rest assured, I, your teacher, always keep my word."

The Imperial Advisor carried the peach out of the Gu's Tea House and ate it in a few bites.

I feel my broken body has recovered somewhat.

If he could eat one of these peaches every day to prolong his life, he might be able to change his fate of dying young.

The Imperial Advisor was furious that he had spent an extra thousand taels of silver today. If any gossip were to report to the Emperor of Qi that he had spent eleven thousand taels on peaches, he might raise the price to twenty thousand taels per peach.

It caused him to waste money unnecessarily.

Moreover, the bigger hidden danger is that if Miss Su gets upset and refuses to sell him peaches, then he will really suffer a huge loss!

Two Western Xia spies came to report: "Grand Preceptor, we've found out. It was Minister Lu of the Ministry of Works who filed a complaint with the Emperor of Great Qi."

The Imperial Preceptor gritted his teeth in hatred, "Let's go, follow me to teach that blind fool a lesson."

The Imperial Advisor and his men blocked Lord Lu outside the Prime Minister's residence.

Lord Lu brought four attendants, while the Imperial Preceptor only brought two.

The problem is that Lord Lu would rather be beaten than fight back against foreigners, and he also ordered his entourage not to fight back.

Therefore, the Imperial Preceptor didn't need to lift a finger. His two subordinates, speaking in Xixia language, ganged up on him and easily defeated Lord Lu and his four attendants.

Lord Lu, his face covered in blood, knelt and begged for mercy: "Your Excellency, Grand Preceptor, please spare my life! I don't know where I have offended you?"

The Imperial Preceptor was originally from the Great Qi, so naturally he could communicate with Lord Lu.

"You surnamed Lu, if you hadn't gone to that brat Emperor to complain, why would I have spent an extra thousand taels to buy peaches? If I spend an extra thousand taels every day, that'll add up to ten thousand taels in ten days. If I don't beat you up, who else should I beat up?"

Lord Lu: ? ? I was doing this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it and even spent an extra thousand taels to buy peaches. What does this have to do with me?!

Lord Lu was holding his head, almost beaten to death, and the Grand Preceptor of Western Xia still wouldn't let anyone stop.

He doesn't want to die.

"Grand Preceptor, it's not all my fault. I was instructed by Prime Minister Feng."

When Lord Lu saw the Imperial Advisor leading his men into the Prime Minister's residence, he quickly got up and fled.
