Of course, only those who have tasted the carrot know how good it is.
"Additionally, Iāve prepared four carrots. Could I trouble nanny to take them to the Crown Princess Consort to try?" Yang Ruxin also had someone pass over a basket.
"Thanking madam on behalf of the Crown Princess Consort," So, nanny Yu left in high spirits.
Lun Yi pursed her lips, thinking madam is really petty. Who gives carrots as gifts? Will it be sweet potatoes next time?
One has to say, Lun Yi got it right. Yang Ruxin indeed plans to send some sweet potatoes for the Crown Prince next time. The ones from her space are even sweeter than the watermelons outside.
First, talking about nanny Yu, she took a carriage with a basket of carrots back to the palace and directly went to see the Crown Princess Consort.
"Nanny Yu, back so soon?" Shen Junru quickly called her in when hearing nanny Yu had returned.
"Returning to the Crown Princess Consort, that madam of the Yang Family is very clever. In three days, she has learned everything she needed to. There is nothing more I can teach her," nanny Yu said with a bow before rising, "Iāve fulfilled my duty."
Shen Junruās gaze flickered a little: "Really?"
Nanny Yu smiled, "Indeed, that demeanor, if no one said, no one would think sheās a village girl..."
Shen Junru chuckled: "I didnāt expect nanny to have such high praise for her."
"Iām only speaking the truth."
"Whatās that?" Shen Junru was no longer concerned about this, but instead focused on the basket beside nanny Yu.
"This is a gift madam from the Yang Family asked me to bring for the Crown Princess Consort," nanny Yu looked at the basket and laughed.
"Oh?" Shen Junru raised her eyebrows slightly, "She knows how to bribe people?"
At this moment, Jinhua came to open the basket.
Seeing the basket full of carrots, everyoneās expressions stiffened for a moment. Using carrots to bribe the Crown Princess Consort? Yang Ruxin is indeed unique.
"Haha..." Shen Junru also chuckled, "Yang Ruxin is something... But these carrots do look rather nice." Itās as if the four carrots are quadruplets, all identical in length and thickness.
"These carrots are grown by a special method of hers," nanny Yuās eyes brightened, "The taste is quite good."
"Really?" Shen Junru showed interest and glanced at Jinhua, "Quickly, bring it for me to taste."
Jinhua hurriedly took out one of the carrots, washed it, sliced it, and tasted a piece herself. Her eyes instantly lit up. Nanny Yu wasnāt exaggerating. Even though she wanted to eat more, she didnāt dare, so quickly brought the carrot over.
Shen Junru pierced a piece with her silver fork and placed it in her mouth.
Originally, she held no expectations. Itās just a carrot, who hasnāt eaten it? To be honest, in the eyes of nobility, itās considered a lowly food, eaten by the lowest class. If the upper class wants to eat carrots, they need to have them styled in various fancy ways, not eating them raw like thisāhow could they? It would cause flatulence, an unseemly behavior, and in important occasions, one might get reprimanded.
Sheās eating a piece now merely to give Gu Qingheng some face.
But after eating a piece, she realized she was wrong. How is this a carrot? She found it more delicious than all the tribute fruits in the palace, making her mildly addicted.
"Crown Princess Consort," seeing Shen Junru eating seven or eight pieces in one go, Jinhua hastily reminded her, "Soon the Crown Prince will come for lunch together." If she were to fart in front of the Crown Prince, that...could potentially ruin things.
