The eunuch continued, "I've heard that it's a delicacy unlike anything I've ever tasted before. Apparently, all that food was transported from the celestial realm by our princess from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand."
"Isn't that a divine artifact? Our Princess of Ten Thousand Kingdoms is too amazing!"
"How wonderful it would be if we could also taste such divine food!"
"But you don't know, do you? There are still many people at the post station who aren't coming. They look down on our palace banquet!"
The envoys standing nearby felt like crying.
One of them, disregarding all decorum, ran up to the eunuch and asked, "Young man, we are invited envoys, but we were delayed by some business. Is there any food left in the palace?"
"Food? It's all been snatched up long ago."
"What about the gifts from the princess of Wanguo? We didn't go, so they should still have them for us, right?"
Eunuch: "You mean those souvenir gifts?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a souvenir!"
Eunuch: "No, they're long gone!"
The messengers finally couldn't hold back and began to wail.
"Oh my god! What did I miss?!"
"I'm so damn bad! Waaaaah!"
Just then, Princess Wanguo's carriage came out of the palace.
Someone pointed at the carriage and said, "It's Princess Wan Guo!"
The envoys, who were always concerned about their image, rushed to block the carriage when they saw the princess's carriage.
Xiao Feng: "Who dares to stop the princess's carriage?!"
The envoys exchanged glances, then knelt down before Qiuqiu with a thud, and pleaded tearfully, "Please, Princess of the World, have mercy and grant us another gift!"
As Qiuqiu stepped out of the carriage, she saw the messengers and asked, "Is the gift you mentioned ginseng fruit?"
The messengers nodded their heads like sieves: "Yes, it is ginseng fruit."
Chiu Chiu: "Oh. Ginseng fruit? I see that half of you didn't come, so you threw away the rest of the ginseng fruit."
The messengers exclaimed, "You threw them all away? Good heavens! Those are ginseng fruits! How could you throw them away?"
Xiao Feng glanced at Qiu Qiu.
Master, you really know how to make them angry! They're so angry they want to bang their heads against the wall!
[Haha! How could I throw away such good fruit? They actually believed it. Serves them right for blatantly ignoring our Dragon Kingdom!]
Xiao Feng: You're really something! Let's see how you deal with these envoys.
Chiu Chiu winked at Xiao Feng.
Don't worry, I have a plan!
The messengers cried until their eyes were swollen, but they still stopped Qiuqiu's carriage and refused to let her leave.
Chiu Chiu: "You only have your own fault. I even had Xiao Dezi tell you that you absolutely had to come. What could I do if you didn't come?"
Xiaofeng: You're really something, stabbing someone in the heart.
Xiao Feng quietly gave Qiu Qiu a thumbs up.
The messengers were so regretful that they beat their chests.
"What a waste! If I were to present it to our Emperor, he would probably bestow upon me a title and appoint me as a high-ranking official."
"Even if we didn't give it to the Emperor, we could have kept it for ourselves! It's the legendary ginseng fruit! It's a pity we just missed out on it!"
Chiu Chiu: "Although we're out of ginseng fruit, I have something else here that I'm sure you'll like."
"What is it? Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Chiu Chiu took out a pill to show everyone.
Chiu Chiu: "This is an elixir given to me by Laozi. It can not only prolong life, but also bring the dead back to life. Of course, it is also very beneficial for improving cultivation."
"Give it to me, give it to me!"
"I want one too! Give it to me!"
Chiu Chiu sighed regretfully and said, "But there's only one of these elixirs. Whoever gets it first gets to keep it."
Chiu Chiu put the elixir into an exquisite bottle and then casually tossed it to the ground.
The messengers began fighting each other over the elixir.
Xiao Feng said to the coachman, "Let them rob it. Let's go!"
Coachman: "Yes!"
The coachman spurred his horse, and the carriage sped away.
Only one group of messengers remained, fighting tooth and nail.
The defeated envoys went to the Dragon King in tears.
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom feigned shock and asked, "Envoy, what happened? Who beat you into this state?"
The envoy respectfully said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we were impolite before! From now on, we will certainly support Your Majesty. We beg Your Majesty to allow Princess Wanguo to take good care of us!"
The Emperor said, "So, are you going to return the gifts you gave to Xiangliu?"
"No retreat! No retreat!"
The Emperor asked, "What about the compensation for emotional distress you are demanding?"
"No compensation, no compensation! Just invite us to any palace banquets in the future."
The emperor burst into laughter.
These envoys aren't stupid either.
What are gifts and compensation compared to that?
The gift that Chuchu gave was truly the best in the world!
Qi Jiating was walking outside, looking lost and dejected.
Ever since Xu Ruyun and Chen Taifu got engaged, Qi Jiating has been doing everything in a daze.
Someone saw him and asked, "Lord Qi, why didn't you attend the palace banquet?"
Qi Jiating: "A palace banquet? No one notified me."
"Oh! What a pity! The food, wine, and gifts at that palace banquet were truly breathtaking! It would be such a shame if you didn't go!"
Qi Jiating: "Is it over now? Should I go check?"
"It's all over now, the plates are all licked clean."
Qi Jia sighed, somewhat disappointed.
The man then said, "Lord Qi, don't worry. Madam Xu's wedding is in a few days, and I heard the wedding banquet will be the same as the one held at the palace. Don't forget to attend!"
