Chapter 232 Making a fuss over nothing
Regardless of everyone's ulterior motives, and no matter how extravagant other people's parties were, Jia Hu and his group finally had a great time today.
Soaking in hot springs, enjoying the scenery, and sampling local delicacies – this is the right way to travel.
How enjoyable! What was that called yesterday? A whole bunch of people making a rumbling, loud noise.
Even these local delicacies taste better today than the ones at last night's dinner.
Situ Yi was also very happy. Everyone in the Jia family was smart, even the children were very clever. There was no need to think too much; just have fun.
The group was having a great time, but the little prince was worried that his grandfather would be bored by himself. He thought about bringing back any fun or delicious things he encountered on the way.
The young prince is so filial, so of course no one can stop him; however, some food items cannot be taken.
What was to be brought was also under the strict control of the guards, with a group of people watching over the person doing it.
After returning, they first sent the young prince and Situ Yi back, and then everyone went back to the courtyard.
They returned in the afternoon, not too late, and the palace was quiet everywhere they went.
They must have returned relatively early; those who went to the banquet probably haven't returned yet.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, I'm back! Look what I've brought you!"
Upon returning, the young prince was eager to deliver something to his grandfather. Situ Yi escorted him to the door and then went back first.
I've been in a great mood all day and really don't want to see anyone who makes me unhappy.
Situ Minghe also knew that his uncle and grandfather did not get along well, and he was very obedient, so he came to find his grandfather on his own.
The Emperor was reclining in a chair in the courtyard, reading a book, when he heard the noise, he got up and laughed:
"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
When Situ Minghe arrived,
"Let Grandfather see what good things you brought for the Emperor."
Situ Minghe was delighted and had his servants show it to him.
From the jade pendant I selected from the small shop to the purse I bought on the street, and the delicious food I ate, I showed them all off.
The Emperor looked at his grandson with utmost tenderness, and seeing the grandson's boastful expression, he suddenly remembered the Crown Prince when he was a child.
The crown prince was the same way when he was a child; whenever he received a reward, he would run over to show it to me.
The Emperor, showing no disdain for the jade pendant's quality or the purse bought on the street, accepted them, hung them at his waist, and praised them.
"He'er has excellent taste; Grandfather likes everything she picks out."
Situ Minghe was even happier. He picked up the snacks he had bought, determined to let his grandfather try them.
"Grandfather, please try this. It's a snack I bought from a street vendor. It was served at the banquet the other night, but it tastes even better today than it did at the banquet. Please try it!"
The eunuchs nearby immediately came over to test the food for poison first. This was the rule; anything to be ingested had to be tested by them first.
Situ Minghe knew this, of course, and raised his hand to let the eunuch try it first.
The Emperor waved his hand and said:
"I don't trust anyone, but I trust my grandson. There's no need to try."
Ignoring the eunuch's objections, he took a bite and praised it:
"Well, it's really good."
The eunuchs and guards were terrified. They knew, of course, that the young prince would not harm His Majesty, but this outsider made them uneasy.
The Emperor glared at them.
"What a fuss."
He knew better than to be careful with things outside, especially since this was something his grandson had bought, and he'd gone out with those two old folks.
If those two old geezers couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any problem, there's no way they would let Hel bring it in for him to use.
