Seeing his mother and son both eating it, the Emperor thought he couldn't not try it himself. Moreover, this radish seemed to have a sweet fragrant aroma and smelled particularly delightful. He quickly picked up a piece, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Father, your son also wishes to taste it," Qi Jingyun stood up.
"Well..." At this point, Emperor Xuanjing had already eaten a second piece. Hearing his son's request, he couldn't refuse, so he handed a radish to Eunuch Lan, "Divide this among the princes to taste." He then glanced at the rest of the ministers and pointed to two other radishes, "Divide these for everyone to taste too."
In truth, many people thought the Empress Dowager praised the radish because Gu Qingheng and his wife had made contributions, and Yang Ruxin had impressively counterattacked Yuan Shi just now. The Emperor was giving face to the Empress Dowager. After all, who hasn't eaten radish? No matter how delicious, could it possibly turn into a Ginseng Fruit?
