Li Shengan said, laughing, "Consort Xian, these are fruits His Majesty specially transported from Guangnan for you!"
"His Majesty also sent word that these fruits have never been seen in the north. You must have never encountered them!"
"Not knowing which ones you might like, His Majesty had someone bring a bit of each kind!"
Having finished speaking, Li Shengan personally lifted the red cloth covering the basket.
Upon seeing them, Xia Ruqing's eyes lit up. Dragon Fruit, mango, durian...
She could name only a few. Most were misshapen, unappealing to the eye, and she had rarely seen them even in modern times. They must be the ancestors of certain modern fruits.
Li Shengan then added with a smile, "His Majesty also said, these fruits may not look good, but they taste excellent!"
"We have already consulted with the Imperial Physician. You can eat all of them!"
Upon hearing they were tasty and she could eat them, Xia Ruqing's spirits immediately soared.
"Great!"
