After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 358 Spicy Maru
I wonder if the lychee banquet at the Princess's residence is the same.

The Prefect of Jingzhao looked forward to it for a moment, then gave up on his wishful thinking.

I suppose it's about the same!

I heard that only a small number of lychees are sent to the palace each year.

The Emperor was benevolent and, after tasting the lychees, was overjoyed.

After learning about the manpower and resources required to transport the lychees, he feared it would be a waste of money and resources and lost interest.

Therefore, the lychees sent to the Princess's residence every year were basically saved up from the palace.

Therefore, the quantity will certainly not be too large.

After all, all the concubines and imperial consorts in the harem could only get one lychee in total.

This was only for those of high rank.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress received two.

With the position of Empress vacant, the Empress's share was divided between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

The allowance sent to the Princess's residence was a reward from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

At most three.

Of course, this only refers to fresh lychees that are intact and undamaged.

There are still plenty of lychees that are slightly damaged but still edible and can be used in cooking.

Basically, when lychees are in season, each household will buy one or two boxes and have the kitchen use them for cooking.

Rounding up, I guess I did get to eat lychees.

As the Prefect of Jingzhao was lost in thought, he followed the maid leading the way to his seat, when suddenly he was startled!

this! !

This, this, this! ! !
really? !

The Princess's lychee banquet was a sight to behold! Everyone had a plate of fresh lychees?! The Prefect of the Capital couldn't believe his eyes. He then eagerly looked at the other tables.

I want to know whether it's something everyone has, or something that was given to him alone.

Or perhaps the eldest princess was indeed wealthy, powerful, and possessed extraordinary means, so she obtained a considerable amount of fresh lychees, enough for each guest to have a fresh lychee to taste.

Perhaps the plate in front of him is meant to be shared equally among the people in this row, like a game of musical chairs.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out there was more than one plate!

It wasn't that the people in this row were sharing his lychees; rather, every table had a plate of these fresh lychees that he had never properly seen before!
The Prefect of Jingzhao acted impulsively, reaching out to grab a lychee and peeling it.

The moment the glistening, translucent white flesh emerged from the shell, the Prefect of Jingzhao didn't hesitate and immediately popped it into his mouth, thoroughly enjoying the delicious taste.

The sweet lychee flavor explodes in your mouth instantly.

The Prefect of Jingzhao had a satisfied look on his face.

The eldest princess naturally noticed what was happening, and everyone else saw it too.

The crowd was filled with surprise and schadenfreude.

Isn't the Prefect of Jingzhao being far too audacious?

Don't they consider themselves part of the family at all?!
He actually ate lychees, such a precious fruit, without hesitation.

Everyone knows that in the past, the lychees displayed at lychee banquets were just for show, meant to impress others.

Who would dare to actually eat it? They'd be asking for trouble!
What's more, this was a banquet hosted by Princess Zhang Luo!
At this moment, everyone had only one thought.

It's over!

The Prefect of Jingzhao is likely to be in serious trouble this time!
This official career has probably come to an end!
Everyone in the court knows that offending the eldest princess is far more likely to bring disaster than offending the emperor.

After all, if you offend the emperor, you might be able to apologize and plead for mercy while he's in a good mood, and the matter would be over.

But if you offend the eldest princess, even if she herself comes to beg for mercy, you will at least be sentenced to death, but you will not escape punishment.
