Ji Yunkai knew that no one would be able to give her an answer if they couldn't get it from Xiao Shaorong, and she wouldn't be able to write to Xiao Jiu'an to ask.
Even if the emperor had not made a bet, she would not have written to ask Xiao Jiu'an when he would return, nor would she have begged him to return early.
Suppressing the depression in his heart with difficulty, Ji Yunkai called Warm Winter over. "Go, find all of the ladies from the capital and bring them to the Orchid Garden."
What, there was still a day he could be asked for?
However, when Ji Yunkai mentioned in the thread that this matter was related to the palace banquet, he did not dare to put on airs.
Everyone knew how much the emperor cared about the palace banquet. If it was because of the mistake he made with Joe, the emperor would definitely be able to skin him.
But see, don't expect him to look good.
Duke Ping walked into the Flower Hall with a haughty expression, without even looking at Ji Yunkai: "Speak, what business do you have with this duke?"
"There's a problem with the fresh flowers and fruits we need tomorrow." The king was in charge of the internal affairs office. If there were any problems with the fruits and flowers, he would have to take responsibility for them.
"What did you say?" Impossible … Flowers, melons and fruits were all paid for by the Gui family. Their family had been an imperial merchant for decades, and there had never been any problems with them. Furthermore, these items were sent to the palace yesterday. Even though he knew in the bottom of his heart that Ji Yunkai would not joke about this matter, he still did not dare believe it.
Making a move at this time in the palace banquet, was he courting death?
"Your Highness should understand in his heart that I will not joke about this matter." Moreover, I've come to find the Duke not to hold me accountable, but to solve the problem. " Ji Yunkai did not care about Duke Ping's arrogance, nor did she care about Duke Ping's contempt.
She had seen this kind of gaze many times and was used to it.
"What can you do?" It was true that the Duke Ping did not like Ji Yunkai, but he did not dare be angry over this matter either.
"Lend me the orchid garden for a day, then lend me a hundred gauzes and a thousand meters of copper wire for a hundred maidservants." These things could only be taken out by the Duke of Ping, who was in charge of the internal affairs.
"What do you want these things for?" This was completely different from flowers.
"You want to know?" Ji Yunkai looked at Duke Ping with a smile that was not a smile, making Duke Ping's scalp tingle and she shook her head: "Forget it, it's better if I don't know."
He had a nagging feeling that if he knew too much, he would get into big trouble.
"Do you want to borrow things, places, and people?" To be honest, she could not trust Duke Ping.
She could tell the king that there was a problem with the flowers and melons, but she could not say how she was going to resolve it. She did not want any more accidents to occur.
"Can I not borrow it?" Duke Ping said angrily.
Was this even related to the banquet? Was this even something he could do?
"Thank you, Duke Ping. Right, it's best if Duke Ping send more people to surround the Orchid Garden. It'll be safer this way. " With his goal achieved, Ji Yunkai did not waste a second as he stood up and left.
"Uneducated." Duke Ping snorted snappily, not daring to cause trouble for Ji Yunkai at this time.
Xiao Shaorong's movements were extremely fast. Just as sshe left the Duke Palaces, he ran into someone at the side of the Emperor.
"Prince Yanbei's Wife, Your Majesty, Your Majesty … "Please enter the palace immediately." The eunuch who sent the message was drenched in sweat. He was so tired that he was gasping for breath. It was evident that he had been running very fast.
"I know." Ji Yunkai calmly stepped onto the carriage, and asked the carriage to take a different route to the palace.
When Ji Yunkai rushed to the Imperial Palace, the sky was slightly dark with a bit of depression, completely lacking the joy of the coming New Year.
Ji Yunkai shook her head, following the eunuch who was leading the way, they arrived at the royal study.
The young monarch paced back and forth in the study, looking anxious and impatient. It was only when the eunuch sent a message to Ji Yunkai that the young monarch stopped, "Quick, pass on this information."
"I greets you!" Ji Yunkai bowed as usual, but the moment she bent down, she was impatiently interrupted. "Exempt … Ji Yunkai, do you know about the matter of the fresh flowers and melon fruits? "
"Got it, I just went to look for Duke Ping." Ji Yunkai did not have the habit of self-torture, she stood up the moment the emperor opened his mouth.
"Are there any solutions?" the Emperor asked anxiously.
If something had gone wrong with the palace banquet in the past, he would not have been in a hurry, but this year was different. If he made any mistakes this year, he would definitely be grabbed by those ministers and held on to them. This would be the reason for him to reform the six tribes.
"Flower, I has already thought of a way. As for the melon fruits, I am still thinking of ways. " Ji Yunkai knew the pressure on the Emperor. On this matter, her position was the same as the Emperor.
Since the palace banquet was ruined this time, she, as the host, had to take full responsibility for it. No matter who made the mistake, she would bear the blame.
He had originally wanted to use the palace feast to cause trouble for Ji Yunkai, but now that he had arrived, not only could he not cause trouble for Ji Yunkai, he had to help Ji Yunkai solve all the problems.
"I don't think there's any hope for the fruits in the hot spring village." There would be no fresh fruits in the entire capital. If the mastermind behind the plot were to make a move, there would be no way for them to remedy the situation.
The Emperor sighed and didn't refute him. "This matter must be resolved satisfactorily no matter what. There can be no mistakes."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll try my best to think of a way." Ji Yunkai replied in a low voice, but her heart was filled with unspeakable restlessness.
Decorative flowers were easy to handle. Where could she find so many fruits on such a cold day?
This item was definitely not as pretty as a flower arrangement. This item was meant to be imported, so there was no way it could be fake. Her superpower could produce fruits, but in a day's time, even if she risked her life, she was still unable to produce the melon fruits needed for the palace feast.
"I'll leave this matter to you." The emperor saw through Ji Yunkai's dilemma but pretended not to see it.
The organization of the palace banquet was always Ji Yunkai's affair. If anything went wrong, naturally, Ji Yunkai had to think of a way.
