While Xiao Jing was in shock.
Zhu Houzhao swallowed the sweet potato in his hand in a few bites.
With a satisfied expression, he stood up and said to Xiao Jing,
"Eunuch Xiao, let's go! Take this food box with you, bengong will bring it to imperial father to taste.”
Only then did Xiao Jing recover from his shock.
After hearing this, his blood and Qi surged again. He pointed at the 'clod' in disbelief and asked,
"Your Highness? This thing? Your Majesty can eat it?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said as he walked forward,"
"Of course, and it's also very delicious. BenGong can guarantee that after eating this time, he will definitely think about the next time.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing gulped in shock and looked at the food box on the ground in panic.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not dare to go against the Crown Prince's wishes. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, someone came forward and picked up the food box.
Xiao Jing followed behind Zhu Houzhao and headed toward the palace.
However, at this moment, he did not feel the joy of completing the mission.
Instead, he had a bitter expression and was secretly thinking about how he should persuade the Crown Prince to give up on the idea of offering the soil.
……
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Houzhao walked up to the main hall.
He looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said happily,"
"Imperial Father, your son has returned and brought you delicious food!”
Behind him, Xiao Jing, who had a conflicted expression, cursed in his heart.
What delicious food!
It was clearly a piece of soil roasted by fire!
However, even though he was in a dilemma, when Xiao Jing's gaze landed on the three Pavilion Elders in the hall, his heart calmed down.
At this moment, there were three pavilion elders in the hall.
Even if His Highness the Crown Prince really did offer a 'delicious', Emperor Hongzhi would not be disrespectful in front of the palace and act like he was enjoying the' delicious'.
Therefore, Xiao Jing had already secretly made up his mind. After the Emperor issued an edict to accept the food box, he would immediately arrange for the imperial kitchen to make a delicious dish according to the appearance.
In this way, the feud between father and son would not exist, and he would not be laughed at.
Feeling that this method was quite wonderful, the panic in Xiao Jing's heart disappeared, and his original nervousness turned into complacency.
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Jing heard Emperor Hongzhi say.
"Good, good, good. Pin 'er is still filial. Men, send the food box to the warm pavilion first.”
When the young eunuch behind him heard the decree, he took the food box and ran towards the warm pavilion at the side.
"Wait!"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly spoke. After stopping the young eunuch, he turned to Emperor Hongzhi and said,
"Imperial Father, this son has just roasted this delicacy. It has to be eaten hot.”
"There's such a saying?"
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the few people in the cabinet and did not care about anything else. He said directly,
"Alright, I'll take a look at what it is that Pin 'er, the crown prince of a country, described as delicious.”
When Xiao Jing heard this, he almost fell to the ground.
With a shocked expression, he thought of the so-called delicacy that His Majesty would discover later. He quickly went forward to stop him and said,
"Your Highness, on this journey, I believe that this soil…is delicious. It should be a little cold. This servant will heat it up again.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and pulled Xiao Jing to the side. He said softly,"
"It's fine. It's not cold or hot now.”
After saying this, Zhu Houzhao walked up the steps with the food box and stood beside Emperor Hongzhi. He took out one and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Imperial Father, try it!"
Xiao Jing frowned when he saw Zhu Houzhao open the food box. Then, he saw Zhu Houzhao take out the piece of soil. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned to the three Pavilion Elders.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and the others were just as Xiao Jing had guessed. They were all shocked.
The delicacy in the Crown Prince's hand.
Even though they were a little far away, they could still see clearly.
How was this delicious? It was clearly a piece of soil.
And from the looks of it, it seemed to have been roasted?
Roasted clods?
Delicious?
Was the Crown Prince crazy?
Or was there a deeper meaning behind this?
The three Pavilion Elders thought of the Crown Prince's past and felt that the Crown Prince could not speak without thinking. They stood where they were and began to think.
What was the intention of His Highness the Crown Prince to offer the Emperor a piece of roasted soil?
Earth can be used to refer to territory.
Then what did roasting mean? Was it a homonym for 'spread'?
Did the Crown Prince want to show off his achievements in expanding the territory?
Or was there another deeper meaning?
Just as the three pavilion elders were guessing the meaning behind this…
Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the Crown Prince with a puzzled expression.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.
After searching for a while, Emperor Hongzhi realized that the fragrance actually came from the soil in the Crown Prince's hand!
The frowning Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
After seeing the encouraging look in the other party's eyes, Emperor Hongzhi slowly stretched out his hand and took the 'clod'.
Emperor Hongzhi immediately reacted after he took it.
Eh?
This wasn't a piece of soil!
Emperor Hongzhi, who wanted to find out what was going on, simply used both hands and directly broke the 'soil block' from the middle.
Instantly, a fragrance assaulted his face.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the red heart that was still steaming and slowly moved his mouth closer. He took a small bite and tasted it.
Ah!
Emperor Hongzhi, who had just eaten a small piece, widened his eyes.
His face instantly revealed a happy expression, and then there was nothing else in his line of sight.
Then, he started wolfing down the 'soil' in his hand.
Emperor Hongzhi's sudden action.
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
As the cabinet elders, the three of them were still thinking about the meaning behind the Crown Prince's actions.
However, who would have thought that the deeper meaning was still uncertain.
When she raised her head, she realized that the Emperor had already started to chew on the soil.
The three pavilion elders were dumbfounded.
He was also instantly shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.
Liu Jian muttered to himself.
"Is it really food?"
