Chapter 645 The Foul-Smelling Emperor and Empress Dowager
The retired Emperor Xuan Chong'an and Empress Dowager Xiao Lan pushed open the door of the reception room hand in hand, then walked through one VIP reception room after another marked with different numbers, and slowly walked out of the reception area.
A vibrant, colorful floral landscape unfolds before your eyes like a dreamlike painting.
The large gold and silver characters "Fairyland Central Plaza," cleverly distinguished by striking colors, shine brightly and are so clear they seem almost within reach.
The overwhelming warmth seemed to welcome every distinguished guest.
"Wow, it really is... Haha, that towering building in front of us really does say 'Unforgettable Hotel'!"
Chonglang, in the blink of an eye, we've actually found ourselves in a "fairyland"!
No wonder this place is praised as a fairyland; it truly lives up to its name, its wonders exceeding all imagination…
Xiao Lan's face was beaming with excitement, and her words were filled with barely suppressed excitement and admiration.
"Ahem, that may be true, but Ah Lan must not forget why we are heading to the [Fairyland]..."
It was rare to see his beloved wife so excited. Xuan Chong'an's eyes were full of doting affection. He shook his head helplessly and had to interrupt her incessant chatter.
"Oh, right! We came here specifically to find Yuan'er! We almost completely forgot about this important matter..."
"Hmm, but the current question is, how do we find Yuan'er... or perhaps Lin'er, Wanling, and the others in this vast fairyland?"
This difficult question stumped even the usually wise and decisive Xuan Chong'an.
He looked at the crowds filled with laughter and joy, his brows furrowed slightly, his mind blank, utterly clueless.
Based on his inexplicable trust in the "Fairyland", Xuan Chong'an instructed his personal guards, who were originally responsible for his safety, to go to the hotel to check in first, leaving only his attendants to take care of his daily needs with him.
Unable to find their son, the Empress Dowager and her husband followed the bustling crowd, intending to first find a food stall that looked appealing and fill their stomachs.
Although the miraculous teleportation had arrived in an instant, the delay outside the palace gates of the capital and while waiting in the waiting area meant that it was nearly noon when they arrived in the [Fairyland], and both of them were starving.
The world is big and the food is the biggest!
Without saying another word, the two tacitly held hands, their leisurely steps revealing a hint of urgency, and slowly made their way to the busiest food street near lunchtime.
At first glance, each food stall here has its own unique design and characteristics.
Unlike ordinary restaurants and eateries, the food stalls here are not only magnificent in appearance but also extremely large in scale.
Moreover, the food stalls were not all more than one story high, and some of them were so large that they were even more spacious than many palaces in the Forbidden City!
This really confused the two newcomers. Which restaurant should they try first?
Just as Xiao Lan hesitated, unsure which restaurant to visit first to sample the delicious food...
With a casual glance up, she suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by in the crowd not far away.
hey~
With just one glance, Xiao Lan's face lit up with joy.
The person standing tall and clearly above others in the crowd was none other than her son, Zhaoheng, whom she was desperately searching for.
Afraid of missing out, Xiao Lan was eager to pull her husband forward and call out, but when she got closer and looked more closely, Xiao Lan suddenly widened her eyes and looked astonished.
and many more!
Who is the stunningly beautiful girl walking beside Yuan'er at this moment?
Is it because I'm getting old and my eyesight is failing?
When had I ever seen Yuan'er, who was always averse to women and refused to take a wife easily no matter who tried to persuade him, be so close to any girl?
However, Yuan'er once frankly told them that he only wished to find a girl he truly loved, and to be with her for life, just like his father and mother.
Therefore, although Xiao Lan, who had been through it all, was anxious, she was unwilling to interfere too much in her children's emotional choices.
A myriad of thoughts raced through Xiao Lan's mind, but her body betrayed her. Her pace quickened unconsciously, and she began to crouch down, her every move becoming increasingly furtive.
Meanwhile, Xuan Chong'an, who was always keeping an eye on those around him, noticed his beloved wife's sudden change in demeanor. Although he was full of doubts and confusion, he instinctively followed her lead in walking and couldn't help but become a little nervous and furtive.
"Ah Lan... what are you doing?"
Seeing that the lady was suddenly behaving strangely, Xuan Chong'an quickly followed behind her and asked in a low voice with curiosity.
He knew that A-Lan was always straightforward and unpretentious. Although her peeking around was slightly contrary to her noble image as the Empress Dowager, he firmly believed that A-Lan must have her reasons for doing so!
Shh! You scared me half to death...
Xiao Lan was completely focused on observing the movements of Yuan'er and the other person ahead, her eyes fixed on the target without blinking, so she didn't pay any attention to the surrounding situation.
Suddenly someone spoke in her ear, which startled her so much that she jumped up and down. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.
But she was clearly in a state of excitement. Seeing it was her husband, she excitedly tugged at his sleeve a few times, as if she had discovered a tremendous secret. She leaned closer and whispered excitedly:
"Chonglang, look over there! See who's there?"
As Xiao Lan spoke, her gaze never left a certain spot, as if afraid of losing sight of the person if she wasn't careful.
"Oh? Where is it..."
Upon hearing Madam's words, Xuan Chong'an looked up and followed the direction Xiao Lan was pointing.
When he recognized the familiar figure not far away and the girl chatting and laughing beside him, he was momentarily stunned, and then he realized why Ah Lan had done this.
"Haha, it seems our Yuan'er has finally found the girl he likes? Ah Lan, now you can finally put your mind at ease..."
Xuan Chong'an glanced meaningfully at Xuan Moyuan, the person he valued most, who was not far away.
As the emperor, he immediately understood from Yuan'er's face, which was overflowing with a "worthless" smile—
The person walking beside Yuan'er at this moment must be the one he loves!
After all, I was just like that when I was pursuing Ah Lan...
"Oh dear, this is still very early stages, it's not even confirmed yet... Hurry up and keep up, let's wait and see..."
As they spoke, the two remained crouched, cautiously following in the crowd, intending to first see where Yuan'er and the others were going.
Their attendants and guards were completely bewildered, utterly baffled as to why the two emperors and empresses, of such noble and illustrious status, had suddenly become as playful as children, looking around furtively as if playing hide-and-seek...
Even with their doubts, they had no choice but to follow closely behind him, dutifully protecting their master's safety.
However, this whole affair is quite a coincidence.
This morning, after finishing a series of important matters concerning the capital's teleportation point, Bai Mengran had nothing to do, so she thought she would meet with Xuan Moyuan again and have a meal together before he returned to the capital.
Unexpectedly, the other party sent a message via Fetion first, the content of which was exactly what Bai Mengran was thinking, as if they were telepathically in sync.
So the two arranged to meet again at the place where they had parted the day before...
