Kapitel 673: 070 Jealous_1

Lin Yuan almost spit out the tea Xia Zheng handed her, this guy actually dared to haggle with the Emperor himself, thinking he was some kind of lord?

Initially, when she heard Xia Zheng mention delivering tofu to the old man in the Capital city for a taste test, she had no clue that the 'old man' referred to the Emperor. It wasn't until that day, when she heard Lao Fan complain about not eating or sleeping well in the palace, that she learned it from his complaints.

Lin Yuan silently took a napkin and wiped the tea from her mouth. Xia Zheng's aunt had entered the palace as a concubine to the Emperor, namely Consort Shu, the Third Prince Zhao Hongde's birth mother. That said, the Emperor was Xia Zheng's uncle by marriage. Not only that, but Princess Anle was also the Emperor's sister. Considering these connections, it made sense that Xia Zheng was on close terms with the Emperor. No wonder he had the audacity to refer to him as an old man.
