Chapter 549 Xuan Wanling, who was happily spreading the news, was unaware that both of them had seen
As for the specific dishes to order and the quantity of each, this involved a math problem that made everyone's head spin. Both Lord Wang and Magistrate Kong, being simple-minded, were immediately stumped and advised against it.
This heavy burden once again fell on the shoulders of Minister Liu, the most intelligent of the three.
Next, Lord Liu was responsible for meticulously compiling and listing the takeout orders. The remaining takeout ordering tasks, which required little skill, were completed by Wang Fantong and Kong Wenfeng working together.
Since the emperor had promised to reimburse them, they felt no guilt whatsoever when ordering takeout.
Later on, Lord Wang was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back, so he ordered one for himself. This dish completely whetted his appetite, and his stomach was rumbling loudly.
Soon, the delivery pigeons arrived one after another to deliver the food orders, in the order they were placed.
Meanwhile, the eunuchs and palace maids, led by Eunuch Wufu, were extremely busy removing the cumbersome packaging from the takeout food and carefully plating and preparing it...
In an instant, the people at the makeshift table set up in front of the main hall were like ants on a hot pan, bustling about, their steps hurried and their figures intermingling.
The thoughtful and shrewd Lord Wang didn't forget to order a special takeout for His Majesty and happily delivered it to the Imperial Study.
Just to receive a word of praise from the emperor, he was overjoyed.
After Wang Fantong stepped down, Xuan Moyuan sat alone on the dragon throne, savoring the food, lost in thought.
Earlier, I heard from Wang Fantong that the young lady Bai intended to reciprocate by gifting the imperial court something called a "smartphone"...
With Wang Fantong calling it a "treasure" and exaggerating its magical properties, he guessed that this so-called mobile phone was probably just a convenient handheld device that could be used to instantly communicate with people thousands of miles away...
If such incredible abilities could be widely promoted, it would truly benefit all the people of Anshun and bring about earth-shattering changes to their lives!
Thinking of this, Xuan Moyuan felt a slight burning in his heart, and his eyes became even more passionate and deep, as if a flame was burning in his eyes. He couldn't help but recall that graceful figure that was deeply imprinted in his mind.
It seems that the young woman has always been bringing unexpected surprises and blessings to the country and its people, like a lucky star sent by heaven...
Lately, Xuan Moyuan seems to have developed a habit of enjoying a delicious takeout meal whenever he feels tired from handling government affairs, in order to relax his mind and body.
He has always been extremely picky about food, with a very discerning palate.
But ever since he tried these takeout foods, he even felt that his picky eating habits had improved a lot.
Until I tasted that familiar old flavor served by the imperial kitchen again...
He secretly thought that when he had some free time, he must go to that "fairyland" in person and make sure he got himself one of those magical bracelets.
In this way, it would save him from having to find different ways to send people into the palace to order takeout for him, which is very troublesome.
As he was sipping his sweet drink with his eyes half-closed, he heard Wufu's announcement from outside again.
"Your Majesty, the princess has returned from her outing and is waiting outside the palace. She says she has important business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing who had arrived, Xuan Moyuan's already good mood seemed to brighten even more, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
That little brat is gone and never to return. He thought she was having such a good time in that "fairyland" that she didn't want to leave. But unexpectedly, she suddenly turned back to the palace.
"Let her in."
As soon as the Emperor spoke, Wu Fu, who was waiting at the door of the Imperial Study, quickly moved and slowly opened the palace door.
He then bowed respectfully and invited Princess Wanling into the hall, quickly following her in and swiftly cleaning up the dragon table where the Emperor had finished his meal.
With a loud "thump" that seemed to come from nowhere, Xuan Wanling, her small face clearly showing her "dejection," made a dazzling entrance...
Upon seeing her elder brother, she couldn't help but complain, "Ugh, I lost to Lei again!"
Then, he carefully put the phone into his pocket, straightened his posture, and respectfully greeted his elder brother, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ever since she became obsessed with the Fruit Ninja game, Xuan Wanling continued to play it happily even while riding in the imperial carriage after entering the palace.
Even while waiting outside the Imperial Study, her eyes were glued to her phone, and she didn't look up for a moment.
Having not seen her closest brother for several days, Xuan Wanling greeted him with a bright smile as soon as she entered the palace. Without waiting for him to speak, she skipped and hopped forward like a happy little deer.
She has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and interesting stories from this trip, and she can't wait to return and share them with her brothers.
Xuan Moyuan had noticed the strange object that made a sound in her hand when she came in, but he didn't think about it too much.
I hadn't seen her for a few days, and this little girl seemed to have gotten even fairer and prettier. As she approached, all excited and boisterous, she seemed to be surrounded by a fragrance I hadn't noticed before—fresh and pleasant…
Judging from her beaming face and cheerful demeanor, one can guess how happy she was about to go.
Xuan Moyuan smiled inwardly, but his face didn't show much emotion. He simply asked with feigned concern, "Why did you come back so suddenly? Have you had enough fun?"
Upon hearing her brother's question, Xuan Wanling suddenly remembered the important mission she had come back for!
She couldn't help but exclaim "Oops!" and quickly slapped her forehead. "This distraction almost made me forget the important thing Sister Bai asked me to do! My apologies..."
Remembering Bai Jie's earnest instructions, Xuan Wanling's expression instantly became serious. "Um... Royal Brother, this is a long story. It's like this..."
Xuan Wanling did not believe that her brother would know Bai Jie's name in advance, so she recounted in detail her miserable experience of being stopped at the door when she first arrived at the Fairy Realm that night.
She talked about how Sister Bai descended from the sky to save them from dire straits, and how she was fortunate enough to become friends with Sister Bai, during which many interesting things happened... She went on and on.
When she finally realized that she had been nagging too much, her heart skipped a beat.
Normally, her brother would have complained about her rambling and told her to get to the point. Why did he patiently listen to her rambling on today?
Seeing Wanling suddenly stop talking and stare intently at him, Xuan Moyuan, who was engrossed in listening, easily guessed what the little girl was thinking.
Anyway, she had already said everything she should and shouldn't have said, and Xuan Moyuan, who had listened attentively and remembered it all, glanced at her without showing any emotion, and then, feigning a stern expression, said with a straight face: "Get to the point!"
Seeing that her brother's reaction was as usual, Xuan Wanling breathed a sigh of relief and finally got down to business after a long and tedious preamble.
She began by recounting the coincidence of how her original intention that morning was to say goodbye to Sister Bai, but she was unexpectedly entrusted by Sister Bai to deliver a cell phone to the palace on her way. She then gave a detailed account of the whole story.
After saying that, he chuckled, a little smugly beaming with pride.
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but it seems that Sister Bai has something to discuss with Your Majesty's subordinate, Lord Wang."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing that I was returning to the capital, they immediately entrusted this matter to me with great trust! Hehe~
After Xuan Wanling finished speaking, she grinned from ear to ear, looking carefree and innocent.
She instructed her maid, Zhiyue, who had been following behind her, to quickly present the bag containing the cell phone to her brother for inspection.
When Xuan Moyuan finally saw the mysterious and peculiar "cell phone" that Wanling had personally brought back, even though he had already had all sorts of ideas in his mind, he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look surprised when he saw this light and sturdy object.
After listening to Xuan Wanling's self-satisfied boast that Sister Bai only bothered her to bring her phone because she trusted her...
However, after hearing her recount the whole story from beginning to end, Xuan Moyuan was actually starting to feel a surge of laughter.
Ha, this silly girl, her identity has probably been seen through long ago but she doesn't even realize it!
I reckon if she were sold off, she'd probably still be foolishly smiling and counting the money for her ever-present "Sister Bai"...
