“Banana is fine, as it can still be found in the capital. As for durian, I have yet to see even one here. We should forget about it.
“Alright, do as you see fit.”
The next morning, Zhou Ying and her husband had just finished breakfast when the imperial edict to confer Gu Chengrui the t.i.tle of Marquis of An Le and Zhou Ying the t.i.tle of second-rank imperial consort arrived.
After the two of them politely sent Eunuch Qian away, Gu Chengrui went to his hospital to get busy.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying packed some red dates, wolfberries, and a bird’s nest. They were all produced from her inters.p.a.ce and were all top-grade harvests.
She also prepared a fruit basket. There were bananas for Gu Wanning, while the apples and grapes were for the previous Empress Dowager.
After her preparations, she handed Guoguo to Mrs. Lin and brought s.h.i.+zhu into the palace.
She visited Gu Wanning but noticed that she was still recovering. After putting down her gifts, she looked at the eldest prince and went to the previous Empress Dowager.
“Ah, Ying, you’re here. You haven’t come to see me in a while.” When the previous Empress Dowager saw her enter, she immediately greeted her warmly.
“My bad. So, I came here today to apologize.” Zhou Ying put down the two baskets of fruits. “Here are some fruits. Do have a taste.”
“Lovely! Your grapes are very sweet. I love to eat them, as does the eldest princess.
“It’s just that we can’t store them well. I didn’t expect you to have some still. If I had known earlier, I would have asked for more for you.”
“I made a cold storage with ice and stored some for myself. Since you like it, I’ll send some over later.”
“Cold storage? Is it an ice cellar?” The previous Empress Dowager asked curiously.
“It’s similar. You just need to put a layer of ice on the bottom or the top, and then put some lime on the other layer to disinfect it and remove the dampness. Lastly, you need to put some straw on it to keep the cold in.”
“I see. The food won’t be frozen by this either.”
“Yes, but the time it can be preserved is limited.”
“This is already a great deal.”
“Granny.” The Eldest Princess ran over and looked at the grapes.
“You greedy little cat. You and your sharp eyes.” The previous Empress Dowager smiled. She then handed two large bunches of grapes to Nanny Liu. “Wash them and give everyone a taste.”
“Yes.” Nanny Liu responded and walked out with the grapes.
The Eldest Princess stayed behind and leaned into the previous Empress Dowager’s arms. She looked at Zhou Ying curiously.
Zhou Ying smiled. She took a pair of pink pearls from her purse, or rather, from her inters.p.a.ce. She handed it to her and said, “Eldest Princess, take a look. Do you like it?”
The Eldest Princess turned her head to look at the previous Empress Dowager. Seeing that she did not object, she reached out her tiny hand and grabbed it. She smiled. “Thank you, Auntie.”
“You’re so obedient.” Zhou Ying smiled and praised her.
“Oh, why didn’t you bring Guoguo? The Eldest Princess would have a playmate of the same age then.”
“She just learned how to walk. How would I dare to bring her here? We’ll have to wait until next year.” Zhou Ying replied.
“That’s right. Wanning has given birth now. Come to the palace more often in the future.”
“Definitely.”
After that, the two chatted for a while before Zhou Ying left.
Three days later, she sent some more grapes again. This time, she also gave the Eldest Princess a set of building blocks and taught her how to play them.
On the Northern Continent.
In a tribe not far from the capital, King Hui looked at the person kneeling on the ground and asked in disbelief, “What did you say? Say it again?”
“The Second Master, as well as all the spies in the palace, are dead.
“The smallpox disease was also quickly controlled. Only 12 people died, and the palace was not affected.” After the person on the ground finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak again..
