"Your Majesty, please have them continue on their way!"
"Didn't they say they were traveling around the world? There's nothing fun to do in our Xuan Yue Kingdom, so let's not keep them away," Lord Lin earnestly advised.
He'll die if he continues to live next to them like this.
For the past few decades, they had lived peacefully.
After this group of people arrived, he was either beaten or had his things stolen.
His secret stash of money was also found out by his wife out of nowhere.
No, they must leave.
"Yes, Your Majesty, didn't they just say they were in a hurry to get going?"
"Eunuch Li, why are you delaying their time?" The other officials, seeing the anger vented, turned to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li wanted to cry but had no tears.
Didn't you all clamor for His Majesty to make the decision? How come it's his fault now?
"Lord Liu..."
"No need to say anything more, Eunuch Li, please take them back quickly, we can't afford to take on this responsibility."
"Yeah yeah."
One by one, the officials spoke in fear, finally witnessing how Xiao Wanwan's words could be deadly.
Look at Mr. Zhou?
Look at His Majesty?
They'd rather be deceived for a few years; at least their reputation remains intact.
The Regent raised his eyes. "Your Majesty Xuan Yue, may we now depart?"
This is a dangerous place, and we shouldn't stay here any longer. Today has only just begun, and my daughter has already caused such a big commotion. If we delay any longer, they might be drowned in their scorn.
Xiao Wanwan said, "Uncle Fatty, didn't you say there would be braised pork knuckle to eat?"
Emperor Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, immediately arrange for the kitchen to prepare delicious food. I want to entertain them properly today."
He has already arranged for someone to investigate the matter between the Empress and Yuwen Mi.
It's unknown how many of these people are Yuwen Mi's spies, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find out.
But since they harbor rebellious intentions, he wouldn't mind reuniting them all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuan Yue looked at the crowd and waved his hand, "Dismiss the court."
Normally, they would leisurely stroll through the palace, and if they encountered a powerful minister, they would have to flatter him a bit.
Today, they rushed out of the Imperial Court like mice seeing a kitten.
Such a scene has never been seen before.
Even the eunuchs and palace maids who were sweeping and cleaning nearby were stunned.
After Xiao Wanwan and the others were taken to the kitchen, Yao Qianshu was stunned by the brilliance.
"Wow, this kitchen is comparable to His Majesty's royal kitchen in our Holy Kingdom!"
Wow, this pork knuckle is huge!
General Yao followed behind him, grabbed him by the collar, and glared at him, saying, "Shut up."
Yao Qianshu smacked his lips.
Xiao Wanwan dragged a chair over, climbed up, and obediently sat down. Then, she stretched out her chubby little paws and grabbed the plate of braised pork knuckle closest to her.
"Awoo."
"It's delicious."
"Uncle Fatty, do you want some?"
Emperor Xuan Yue looked at Xiao Wanwan with a hint of a smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"I won't eat. If you like what you have today, I'll have someone bring it back for you."
"Great! Great!"
Xiao Rui'an coughed lightly.
Xiao Wanwan pursed her lips and said, "No need, Uncle Fatty, I'll just eat here."
Emperor Xuan Yue glanced at Xiao Rui'an.
From the moment he met Xiao Rui'an, he knew that Xiao Wanwan listened to her older brother.
"Wanwan, it's alright. I'll have the chefs pack it up and take it back for you."
"Is it okay, big brother?" The little guy couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't help but turn around and ask Xiao Rui'an.
Xiao Rui'an took a deep breath and said somewhat awkwardly, "Wanwan, you can decide for yourself."
She said "Oh," then turned around and immediately beamed with a smile, "Uncle Emperor, I want to take it with me."
"This pork knuckle, and that one, this one, and this one, I want them all..."
Everyone felt ashamed.
Only Yao Qianshu praised Xiao Wanwan's decision. He whispered in her ear, "Little sister, share some with me while you're at it."
"You were cursing Uncle Fatty for being cuckolded today, do you want to eat that?"
Yao Qianshu was taken aback, then vehemently retorted, "When did I insult him?"
"Just now, you said he was fat and not as good-looking as the Empress's lover!"
After saying that, Xiao Wanwan remembered something, immediately covered her mouth, and then shook her head frantically.
Emperor Xuan Yue frowned. "You brat, how dare you insult me? Are you tired of living?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, I didn't scold you..."
"You mean, the real distinguished guest lied?"
Yao Qianshu looked at the table full of delicious food, swallowed his saliva several times, and finally weakly stepped back from his seat.
"I...I have a stomachache, I need to go to the toilet!!"
After saying that, he turned and ran.
Is it alright if he doesn't eat it?
One that we can't afford to offend!
We dare not offend a single one!
Behind him was an old man holding a whip!
Well, he deserved it!
Thinking back to the time he recognized Wanwan as his sister, he was filled with deep regret.
Xiao Wanwan ate for as long as she was filled with emotion.
Xiao Rui'an shook his head helplessly.
Never offend your sister, no matter who else you are; this is the core principle of the Xiao family's family rules.
The Xuan Yue Kingdom is located by the sea, and its cuisine mainly consists of fresh fish, which is something that the people of the Holy Kingdom, located in the earth, rarely get to eat.
General Yao had long since forgotten about his son.
She had no time to care about him.
After finishing his meal, the Regent King, unable to sit still, bid farewell to Empress Xuan Yue and set off with the children, leaving Xuan Yue Kingdom overnight.
Wherever her daughter went, there was no peace.
Hopefully, going to the Dragon Clan will make her behave better.
