Chapter 87; It’s too late

"Yes, and it was Eunuch Li De who went to summon him in person."

The little eunuch replied respectfully.

"Furthermore, I heard that His Majesty seemed to be very happy, and his laughter spread out of the Imperial Study Room."

Hearing this, the eldest prince frowned, feeling as if he had missed something important.

It made him a little irritable, pacing back and forth in the room several times.

"It seems that I am going to meet this Lu Yaoyao."

As soon as he finished his thoughts, he walked out of the dormitory.

At the same time, Li De has found Lu Yaoyao.

"Miss Lu, Your Majesty is still waiting. Please hurry up and enter the palace with the Za family."

"Eunuch Li, please wait a moment. The daughter of the people has to bring something with her."

Hearing this, Li De frowned and was a little unhappy, but thinking about the letter just now and his previous speculation, he suppressed it.

"Then hurry up."

Not long after, Qiu Shuang was seen galloping from a distance on horseback.

"Miss, what you want."

Qiu Shuang got off her horse and presented the big bundle in her hand.

"Just leave it to me. You can go back home and rest."

With that said, she took the big bundle and carried it in her hand, then turned to look at Li De.

"Eunuch Li, let's go."

"Miss Lu, is she going to the palace with her baggage to meet the saint?"

Li De looked at the big bundle in her hand strangely.

"Yes, there are some things that need to be shown to His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty may not believe it just by talking about them."

Hearing this, Li De nodded repeatedly in his mind, thinking that it would be best to have a token of recognition or something, but it would be much less credible to just say it.

"Then let the Zajia take it."

"I don't dare bother Eunuch Li, the daughter of the people can just take it by herself."

Seeing this, Li De smiled and didn't bother anymore, and immediately took Lu Yaoyao straight to the palace.

The two of them had just entered the palace gate when they saw the eldest prince approaching with his entourage.

"This servant has met His Highness the First Prince."

"The daughter of the common people has met His Royal Highness the eldest prince."

The eldest prince opposite smiled and raised his hand.

"Miss Lu, there is no need to be polite. I am preparing to go to Baizhen Tower. Why are you here?"

Hearing him talk about Baizhen Tower, Lu Yaoyao just smiled in his heart.

"Your Majesty has summoned Miss Lu. She is still waiting over there. Your Highness, the eldest prince, look."

Hearing this, the eldest prince smiled and said, "Since Father has summoned me, Miss Lu, please go quickly. I will go to Baizhen Tower first."

As he said this, he took a deep look at Lu Yaoyao, and the hint couldn't be more obvious.

But it's a pity that the opportunity has been missed, and Lu Yaoyao doesn't like to look back.

"Daughter Shicai, I saw that there are many guests in Baizhen Building. I'm afraid there will be no place for Your Highness to go at this time."

"oh?"

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, and a cold look flashed deep in his eyes.

"The lady made a reservation in the morning, but she left right after lunch. If I had known that His Highness was going, I should have kept this seat for you."

"Unfortunately it's too late now."

After saying that, she saluted the eldest prince again.

"The daughter of the people has to go see His Majesty and leave first."

Immediately, she followed Li De and walked past the eldest prince without looking away.

The eldest prince who stayed where he was turned around and looked at her back, a hint of annoyance rising in his eyes.

It's too late.

Is this an accusation against him?

Who gave her the courage?

It was already too late, and he had no intention of continuing to go to Baizhen Tower, so he turned back to his dormitory with a look of displeasure.

Here, Lu Yaoyao has followed Li De to the door of the imperial study room.

"Miss Lu, please wait a moment."

Li De said as he walked into the imperial study room, and soon he heard the voice of Emperor Hongwen coming from inside.

"Please quickly invite Miss Lu to come in."

Lu Yaoyao stepped into the imperial study room.

First, he carefully put the baggage in his hand aside, and then kowtowed to Emperor Hongwen who was standing above him.

"The daughter of the people pays homage to the emperor. Long live, long live, long live."

"Um?"

When she kowtowed, everyone in the royal study was startled.

This slogan is somewhat novel.

There is no such slogan as long live, long live, long live in Dongzhou.

Lu Yaoyao had never paid such a formal visit to the emperor, so he naturally applied the situation in the TV series of his previous life.

"Your auspicious words are very good, I like them very much."

"Get down quickly."

"Li De gave me a seat."

Li De next to him was shocked again.

Not many people can enjoy the privilege of being given a seat in the imperial study. During the more than ten years of Emperor Hongwen's reign, only the empress and the Duke of Zhen had such privileges.

Even close ministers like Wen Xiang have never enjoyed this kind of Su Rong.

The fact that Lu Yaoyao was able to obtain it made him even more convinced that Lu Yaoyao might really be the pearl His Majesty left among the people.

It’s incredible. You’ve received such high treatment before you even know each other. If you know each other, what’s the point?

With the camera here, Li De secretly warned himself that he must take good care of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"But whether you want to sit down or not will be decided later. The girl has brought something for your Majesty to take a look at."

As soon as she said these words, both Li De and Wen Songtao were embarrassed in their hearts.

This person has no idea how profound the honor of being given a seat in this royal study is?

"Oh? Is it what you said in your letter?"

"Yes, but it's only part of it. After all, there are too many things and it's not convenient to display them all, so I just brought part of them first."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen and Wen Songtao became excited.

"Bring it over quickly."

Lu Yaoyao hurriedly reached out to pick up the baggage. Seeing this, Li De hurriedly stepped forward.

"Let the old slave come."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, no need."

After that, Lu Yaoyao directly untied the baggage, and first took out a few lumps of earth from inside. The big ones were the size of an adult's fist, and the small ones were slightly bigger than walnuts.

Li De next to him saw these things and his expression was momentarily astonished.

Isn’t it a token? Why did it become a lump of earth?

Could it be that this lump of earth is a keepsake? It shouldn’t be.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the sweet potato mentioned in the letter of the folk girl. The folk girl found scattered records about it in a travel diary in her early years."

"It is said that during the Great Famine, some villagers dug this thing in the mountains and boiled it with water. It tasted very good."

"A few years ago, a folk girl accidentally discovered it while traveling in the mountains. She took it back to Zhuangzi out of curiosity and tried boiling it in water. She found that it was really good, sweet, soft and glutinous, and it was also very filling."
