Li Huan transformed himself into the head of the Imperial Kitchen and became an undercover agent personally appointed by Emperor Kangxi!

Wei Xiaobao stared blankly, filled with extreme envy.

He was ordered by Chen Jinnan to sneak into the palace and steal the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra".

Now, all that remains is a copy of the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra," hidden inside the garden wall.

To obtain the other seven copies of the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra," one must elevate their status to have a chance to complete the task.

In just two days, Li Huan became the head of the Imperial Kitchen and the emperor's personal spy, while Wei Xiaobao was still a eunuch.

Li Huan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, just now in the study, I used the 'Monkey Picking Peaches' technique and struck Your Majesty's vital point. Does it still hurt?"

Emperor Kangxi straightened his chest and coughed a few times.

"I have practiced martial arts since childhood, and I am strong and healthy with a solid foundation. How could I be afraid of your mere grab?"

Li Huan said, "Since Your Majesty is not afraid of pain, I am relieved."

Emperor Kangxi instructed, "Besides helping me deal with Ao Bai, you must also keep a close watch on Hai Dafu!"

Li Huan deliberately asked, "Why are you spying on Eunuch Hai?"

Emperor Kangxi said, "Although Hai Dafu was the late emperor's confidant, I have received secret assurances from the guards that Hai Dafu's recent movements have been suspicious, and he has been frequently seen near the Empress Dowager's palace!"

"Therefore, I hereby instruct you to keep a close eye on Hai Dafu's every move, and to report any unusual activity to me immediately!"

Li Huan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do as you say!"

Kangxi looked at Wei Xiaobao: "You have a close relationship with Xiao Huanzi, so I hereby appoint you as an undercover agent to assist Xiao Huanzi. Follow Xiao Huanzi's orders and do not make any mistakes!"

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my utmost to assist Steward Li in dealing with Ao Bai and keeping an eye on Hai Dafu!"

Kangxi then said, "Only the four of us know about what happened today. If you dare to leak it out, I will have your heads rolled!"

"Yes, sir!" Wei Xiaobao obeyed.

Li Huan laughed and said, "What if the princess reveals the secret?"

Without hesitation, Kangxi said, "The same heads will roll!"

Princess Jianning shrank her neck and then said, "Brother, could you also have Xiao Huanzi keep an eye on me?"

Kangxi was taken aback: "Spying on you? Why?"

Princess Jianning smiled without saying a word, and raised her eyebrows at Li Huan.

Li Huan understood Princess Jianning's intentions and knew that tonight he would have a real showdown with her!

"Brother! I want to ride in a rickshaw!"

Princess Jianning then made another request.

Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Actually, I would also like to sit."

Li Huan waved his hand: "Please, Your Majesty, board the carriage!"

He opened the passenger door and let Kangxi in.

"Xiao Chunzi, you and the princess sit in the carriage and protect her!"

Wei Xiaobao readily agreed, squatting behind the carriage to act as a chair, allowing Princess Jianning to step on his shoulders to enter the back of the carriage.

Emperor Kangxi observed the dashboard with great interest, reaching out to touch the various buttons.

"This is the first time I've ridden in a carriage from a foreign land. How interesting, how interesting!"

Beep beep!

The horn sounded a clear and loud sound.

Emperor Kangxi was startled: "What's making that noise?"

He accidentally pressed the horn button.

Li Huan explained, "The Emperor pressed the horn, and the car made a sound to alert pedestrians on the road."

Emperor Kangxi asked curiously, "A horn? Is there someone hidden in the carriage who can blow the horn at any time?"

Li Huan laughed: "The horn on this car doesn't need to be blown by anyone. Just press this button, and it will generate a burst of air to make the horn sound!"

The simple and easy-to-understand explanation made it clear to Emperor Kangxi.

"Interesting, really interesting, hahaha..."

Li Huan started the ignition, drove the tricycle out of the courtyard of the Imperial Study, and arrived at an open area.

"Your Majesty, shall we go for a drive outside the palace?" Li Huan asked.

Emperor Kangxi hurriedly said, "As the ruler of a country, I cannot easily leave the palace. Let's take a drive around the palace today!"

Li Huan pressed the speaker button, playing upbeat music, and then sped off!

Princess Jianning stood inside the carriage, excitedly shouting praises.

"Wow! The car is really fast! It overtook my steed!"

Emperor Kangxi also sincerely praised, "I never imagined that there were such fast carriages in the world. The craftsmen from those foreign lands are truly amazing!"

Li Huan laughed and said, "This tricycle can not only travel on land, but also sail on water!"

Emperor Kangxi opened his eyes wide, thinking he had misheard.

"To...to launch a voyage?"

Li Huan said, "When I drive into a lake or river, the car's three wheels will automatically retract and the jet engine will start, allowing it to speed through the water!"

Emperor Kangxi listened attentively and intently.

Li Huan said, "Another day, I'll take the Emperor to the countryside for a trip, so that His Majesty can experience the joy of sailing on water!"

Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly, filled with anticipation...

...

To date, Li Huan has successfully obtained the qualification to set up a stall selling boxed lunches at the palace.

The first task issued by the "God-level Lunch Box System" is half completed.

Next, we must strive to gain Kangxi's trust!

Li Huan knew that he had to accomplish three things to gain Kangxi's trust.

First, rescue the fake Empress Dowager!

Second, subdue Ao Bai!

Third, rescue the Empress Dowager.

In the movie version of "The Deer and the Cauldron", Hai Dafu and the fake Empress Dowager fought to the death. Wei Xiaobao picked up the "Divine Dragon Dagger" and stabbed Hai Dafu, saving the fake Empress Dowager and further gaining Kangxi's appreciation.

As for "subduing Ao Bai" and "rescuing the Empress Dowager", these were both great achievements, which prompted Emperor Kangxi to bestow upon Wei Xiaobao the title of Duke of Luding!

Li Huan must replace Wei Xiaobao, accomplish these three things, become the Duke of Luding, and completely gain Kangxi's full trust!

...

It was getting late.

Li Huan first escorted Emperor Kangxi and Princess Jianning back to their palace, then drove an electric tricycle to take Wei Xiaobao back to his residence in the Imperial Kitchen.

Hai Dafu sat in the room, his face gloomy.

Upon seeing Li Huan and Wei Xiaobao enter, Hai Dafu immediately smiled and stood up to greet them.

"Eunuch Li!"

Li Huan quickly said, "Grandpa Hai, you can't call me that, I'm not qualified!"

Hai Dafu smiled obsequiously and said respectfully, "Eunuch Li has been promoted to the head of the Imperial Kitchen. If I, a mere deputy head, were to not address you as 'Eunuch' and instead dare to call you 'Little Huanzi,' wouldn't I be committing a crime of disrespect?"

Li Huan sat at the table: "Eunuch Hai, you're too kind. From now on, let's work together to serve the Emperor!"

Hai Dafu hurriedly poured tea for Li Huan: "I will definitely follow Eunuch Li's instructions and lend you a hand!"

Wei Xiaobao placed a boxed lunch on the table and said with a smile, "This boxed lunch was specially reserved by Eunuch Li. Please enjoy it, Eunuch Hai!"

Hai Dafu looked flattered and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Li! Thank you so much, Eunuch Li!"

Li Huan said, "Eunuch Hai, you don't need to be so polite. My life and Xiao Chunzi's life are still in your hands!"

Hai Dafu looked slightly embarrassed, and said with a forced smile, "Tonight, you two go to Cining Palace again and do something for me, and I will remove the Bone-Melting Palm from you!"

This was exactly what Li Huan expected.

He asked, "What is it?"
