"What happened?" The Emperor hadn't heard anything for a while and couldn't help but look up.
"Reporting to the Emperor, this gift... is somewhat unusual." Third Eunuch tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking a bit embarrassed. He had visited Yang Ruxin's home and knew they lived well, but he didn't expect the gift to be... so grounded.
Emperor Xuanjing curiously glanced at Third Eunuch, "Unusual? Hurry up and read it out."
Third Eunuch, with no choice, read aloud: "Ningyuan General congratulates the Royal Concubine on her birthday with a gift of a basket of carrots, a basket of sweet potatoes, a basket of eggplants, a basket of cabbages, a basket of peanuts..." The last word "basket" was even dragged out a bit, adding to its flavor.
Once the gift list was read, the entire hall remained silent for about a minute, even the Emperor's face showed a moment of stunned surprise—indeed, it was quite unusual.
Then everyone began to discuss.
