In the front courtyard, the Emperor had stayed for dinner. The green vegetables were still a rarity at this time of the year, but seeing the few plates of leafy greens on the table, the Emperor's appetite, which had originally been lacking, was piqued.
Zhou Shuren also noticed the green vegetables, which his eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter had respectfully provided for him and Zhulan were all gone, "If the Emperor likes them, please eat more."
Of course, the Emperor liked them. Even though the South would send green vegetables over, leafy vegetables were rare, and those that made it to the palace were those that could be stored, "Where do your household's vegetables come from?"
Zhou Shuren felt a small surge of pride, "This official's eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter like gardening. Since green vegetables are scarce in winter, the two girls planted some in wooden boxes. The amount isn't much, so they just let us, the old couple, have a taste."
