"Wow, this is so refreshing! This bag of barbecue is so fragrant and delicious that it's irresistible!"
Pair it with a sip of cool, smooth milk tea...
Haha, life is like this, how could it be the same no matter where you live it!
If my brothers could see me like this, they'd be green with envy!
At this moment, Xuan Wanling was far from the emperor and had no brother to supervise her. She sat down in a very casual and unrestrained manner, having long since thrown away the reserved demeanor she used to have to maintain.
In her left hand, she held a handful of sizzling, fragrant lamb skewers, her mouth glistening with oil as she ate, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
With her right hand, she would occasionally pick up a piece of the already peeled, bouncy crayfish, and then pick up a bubble tea, taking a delightful sip...
And so, she fully enjoyed the double pleasure brought by delicious food and freedom, her little face beaming with a radiant smile of satisfaction and happiness.
Sister Bai is so generous and open-minded. She ordered a whole table of delicious food, but Xuan Wanling, with her big eyes and small stomach, couldn't possibly finish it all.
So she asked Zhiyue to take some and distribute it to the two female officials, so that everyone could share this rare delicacy.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xuan Wanling took a comfortable hot bath.
The shampoo and body wash provided here are fragrant and easy to use. The foam is rich and dense, like clouds. After washing, your whole body is filled with a charming fragrance, and your skin becomes smooth and silky.
After using them, Xuan Wanling could no longer appreciate the old heart-shaped trinkets that Zhiyue had painstakingly brought back for her...
As the night deepened and all was quiet, Xuan Wanling drifted off to sleep.
Even in her sleep, she kept muttering things like "I love Sister Bai the most" and "Sister Bai, please stick to me," which shows that she has completely fallen for her.
The emperor's elder brother, whom Xuan Wanling had mentioned several times today, was no less impressive despite residing in the palace.
As shrewd and wise as he is, he has also secretly planned and tried every means to mobilize the resources he can control.
Magistrate Kong, who was invited to the palace by Imperial Guard Chen Xiao on the emperor's orders, took advantage of his position to ride the underground high-speed rail that was popular all over the country for the first time.
Whether it was the magnificent, palatial high-speed rail station or the lightning-fast speed of the train, everything Magistrate Kong saw and heard along the way broadened his horizons, and he couldn't help but secretly admire it.
As expected of a production from [Fairyland], it truly lives up to its reputation. It's absolutely dazzling and breathtaking!
Finally, at dusk, the underground high-speed train slowly pulled into Beijing Station, which meant that Magistrate Kong would soon be going to the palace to meet the emperor.
When he suddenly realized this fact, his heart tightened, and a sudden sense of tension overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
As he got closer to the palace, Kong Wenfeng's heart pounded faster and faster, as if he had returned to the long-lost imperial examination hall, and that sense of tension swept over his entire body.
He nervously rubbed his hands together, trying to suppress the deep-seated fear in his heart of His Majesty the Emperor, who often struck fear into the hearts of civil and military officials.
Kong Wenfeng silently recited his prepared remarks to the emperor over and over again. He had memorized those few repetitive phrases the entire way, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
After all, this was such a rare opportunity! He only had the honor of meeting the Emperor because of the [Fairyland], so he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest...
However, to Kong Wenfeng's surprise, after walking cautiously for a long time, he was finally summoned to the Imperial Study where the Emperor handled official business...
For some reason, before he could even utter his carefully prepared speech, he inexplicably started controlling his bracelet and began ordering takeout...
Although he was extremely unfamiliar with the process of ordering takeout, under the Emperor's patient guidance, he managed to order quite a few, acquiring a whole bunch of [Fairyland]'s signature delicacies...
Thinking back, why did I order takeout as soon as I arrived?
Kong Wenfeng still remembers that it seemed the emperor greeted him kindly and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Kong, traveling a long distance and enduring a long journey."
I've heard that ordering takeout is all the rage in your Yongle County these days? Why don't you, Minister Kong, demonstrate it for me right here and now…”
Seeing the Emperor's kindness and consideration for him, Kong Wenfeng was moved and immediately felt grateful.
In order to demonstrate the process of ordering takeout to the emperor, Kong Wenfeng, who had never ordered takeout independently before, had no choice but to bite the bullet and start trying to order takeout as a newcomer.
Little did he know that every time he hesitated, the Emperor seemed to know even more about the food available in the [Fairyland] than he did, always offering a helpful suggestion from the side...
Once he finally got the hang of it, thinking about how he could properly showcase those unique delicacies from heaven to the Emperor, he couldn't help but order more and more...
When the food arrived, Kong Wenfeng stared at the entire imperial table covered with food...
Then, she couldn't help but glance in surprise at the Imperial Concubine Wu Fu, who was moving with lightning speed and immediately began to skillfully unpack the takeout packaging.
He thought to himself: No wonder he is someone who can serve by the emperor's side. This is not a job that ordinary people can do.
Look at the swift movements of Grandpa Wufu's hands; his reactions are incredibly quick and skillful, as if he were self-taught, which is truly astonishing...
"Your Majesty, the meal has been prepared. Please enjoy your meal..."
In the blink of an eye, Grandpa Wufu had deftly unpacked all the large bags of takeout food, neatly inserting the straws into the drinks and arranging them in an orderly fashion.
This scene left Kong Wenfeng, who felt that even if he practiced a hundred times, he could not achieve such speed, speechless.
He couldn't help but secretly glance at Eunuch Wufu with admiration, and a feeling of reverence and fear for the Emperor welled up within him.
But the emperor, who was rumored by all the officials to have a cold and aloof personality, took the lead in sitting elegantly at the imperial desk and then spoke to him in an unusually gentle and amicable tone:
"Magistrate Kong, please don't be so formal. Sit down with me and let's eat and chat."
"Ah, Your Majesty, please try these delicious dishes from the Fairy Realm. It just so happens that there is something to do with the Fairy Realm. Your Majesty, I would like to explain it to you in detail."
Thinking about how he had been reciting his lines all the way but hadn't had a chance to say them yet, Kong Wenfeng worried that if too much time passed, he would forget all the lines he had finally memorized, since his memory had never been very good.
"Well then, I will try it. Magistrate Kong, please feel free to speak."
After that, Xuan Moyuan slowly and deliberately savored the food on the table, eating with great relish.
Meanwhile, Kong Wenfeng diligently and cautiously recounted the various events of the "Fairyland" and the current situation in Yongle County, Anzhou.
One person ate to their heart's content and even had some fun listening to, thoroughly enjoying themselves; the other person, on the other hand, racked their brains, memorizing words until their mouth was dry and they were almost at their wits' end.
Fortunately, the Emperor would occasionally respond with a gentle word, which undoubtedly gave Kong Wenfeng great encouragement and confidence, allowing him to continue speaking eloquently...
