Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 425 Asking for Medicine for Dad

 “Get down quickly!”

They both said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

 The emperor laughed loudly, "Okay! What a talented man and beautiful woman!"

Someone said with a smile: "Congratulations, Young Master Lu, for getting such a beautiful wife."

“Yes, yes! I didn’t expect that the heroine of Zhou Dynasty was such a beautiful little girl.”

For a time, some were envious and some were disappointed. They thought they could laugh at Lu Yuan well today, but they never thought that they would have to congratulate him against his will.

“I heard that you have the greatest contribution to this victory. I wonder what you want?”

Gu Panxia rolled his eyes and said, "The daughter of the people wants a thousand-year-old ginseng. I wonder if your majesty can have one?"

As soon as she finished speaking, all the ministers and officials in the hall couldn't help but take a breath.

Thousand-year-old ginseng? Did she think it was an ordinary tonic? Can you give it as soon as you open your mouth?

The emperor was also stunned, and then suddenly laughed and said: "I wonder what a little girl like you would do with thousand-year-old ginseng?"

 Gu Panxia lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty, my father is ill. Thousand-year-old ginseng is a very important medicine. I can't find it elsewhere, so I have the courage to come and ask for it from your majesty."

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally thought of the relationship between Lu Yuan and Gu Panxia, ​​so he had to accept his fate and said: "Of these thousand-year-old ginseng... I have one. Asking for medicine for my father is also a sign of filial piety from Miss Gu. It is really rare. Eunuch, go, Bring the thousand-year-old ginseng to Miss Gu."

Everyone did not expect that when Gu Panxia opened his mouth, the emperor actually agreed. They all secretly thought that he must have more than just one, otherwise he would not have given it to him so happily.

Little did they know that the emperor's heart was already bleeding. He only had one plant of the thousand-year-old ginseng, and he couldn't bear to pull out the roots. Now he wanted to give them all to Gu Panxia. He wanted to die, but he still didn't want to. Pretend to be generous.

 Gu Panxia did not expect that the emperor would agree immediately, so she couldn't help but said with great joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your approval! The women of the people are very grateful!"

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Miss Gu, you are so polite. You have won victory for the Great Zhou Dynasty, secured peace in the north, and protected the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is priceless, and is better than tens of thousands of thousand-year-old ginseng. I deserve it." I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Dazhou!"

"Your Majesty is joking. Women of the people are also from the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is right for them to worry about the country."

Those sitting here couldn't help but feel shocked. A teenage girl could have such thoughts. As ministers and officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they always thought about how to make profits. They were really ashamed.

The emperor said loudly: "Okay! I have a woman like you in Zhou Dynasty. It is true that women are not inferior to men!"

Someone echoed: "I pray to heaven that there will be General Bai, and we have a heroine in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The real women will not be inferior to men."

 For a time, everyone was praising Gu Panxia, ​​and all kinds of nice words came out of the mouths of the ministers.

Gu Panxia's smile remained unchanged, quietly waiting for the arrival of the thousand-year-old ginseng.

“In addition to the thousand-year-old ginseng, I also prepared some things for Miss Gu. Send the message and bring the things up.”

 Another father-in-law shouted loudly: "Bring the things up!"

After a while, I saw someone carrying boxes of things, including gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and satin.

 Gu Panxia was dazzled by what she saw. She rubbed her temples and said politely: "Your Majesty, a thousand-year-old ginseng is enough for the daughter of the people. Please take back these."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I will give you the thousand-year-old ginseng. This is to reward you for your merits in protecting the country. You deserve it."
