"Oranges aren't considered a new thing," Xue Wuhu said. "Anyway, I've eaten many new things over the years. They're all things that Locust Village didn't have before. It's mainly because my village is small."
Fu Ying was not surprised and put the fish food down to have a bite.
Xue Wuhu immediately handed her an orange.
Fu Ying peeled it and tasted it. It was very sweet. After that, she called for the chief eunuch and asked him to send half of the oranges to her mother, Empress Dowager Minde.
The chief eunuch left with a bow.
Only then did Xue Wuhu cheerfully say to Fu Ying, "Oh right, stinky girl, Jiang Yue asked me to tell you that it's more dangerous outside than in the palace. Isn't your Mother going out of the palace to the temple to pray for blessings the day after tomorrow? He asked you to send more people to protect your mother."
Fu Ying, who was still eating the sweet orange, stopped.
