Xiao Feng brought over a box of silver and said, "This is a gift from Princess Wan Guo to everyone. She knows you've all worked hard, so this is a reward for your efforts today."
Everyone excitedly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess of the Kingdom!"
With a wave of her hand, several servants brought over a few more bundles of vegetables.
These were all freshly picked by Chirp from the temple.
The carrots were so juicy and fresh, it looked like you could squeeze water out of them.
The vegetables were lush and green, with glistening dewdrops on them.
The servants couldn't help but exclaim, "These vegetables are so fresh! They look like they were just pulled from the ground!"
Chirp proudly raised its head.
"Isn't that right? These vegetables were grown by this princess herself, and just pulled from the ground."
Chiu Chiu glanced at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng clapped her hands, had someone bring out a jar of wine, and then poured a cup of wine for each of the people working in the kitchen.
Chiu Chiu: "Everyone, you've worked so hard! Drinking this glass of wine should make you feel less tired."
The servants exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
"Could this be the legendary celestial wine that's been circulating outside?"
"I've heard that this celestial wine is incredibly potent. So many high-ranking officials and nobles are vying to drink it."
Xiao Feng: "Yes, the wine in the jar is indeed the celestial wine you spoke of!"
"Heavens! I never thought that we servants would get to drink the immortal wine that nobles drink!"
Some people were already moved to tears: "The princess from all over the world is so kind to us!"
"Yes! If it weren't for the princess of Wanguo, we might not even receive such treatment even if we lived our whole lives!"
Xiao Feng: "Everyone, please have a drink! After you finish drinking, get back to work! Our distinguished guests are still waiting outside."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank with tears in their eyes.
After drinking a glass, everyone felt energized and full of strength, and their work efficiency increased several times over.
The person chopping vegetables kept cutting with the knife, several times faster than usual, without feeling tired at all.
The chef happily tossed the wok around, not feeling the weight at all.
They were in a very good mood after drinking, and they hummed songs happily while working.
Seeing how hard they were working, Qiuqiu felt relieved and left with Xiaofeng.
Xiao Feng said, "Finally, the kitchen is all settled. Now we don't have to worry about anything going wrong at the wedding banquet."
Chiu Chiu said in a grown-up tone, "Sigh, getting married is so tiring! My bones are about to fall apart from all the stress."
Xiaofeng stretched out her arms and said, "Want a hug?"
Chiu Chiu opened her arms and said, "Hug me, I want a hug!"
Xiao Feng picked up Qiu Qiu in one go: "Our little princess is tired, let's go eat something."
Chirping's stomach rumbled.
My stomach is really growling; I'm starving.
Chiu Chiu: "Come on, you must be hungry too, Xiao Feng? Hurry up and eat something to replenish your energy."
After a busy period, Xiao Feng and Qiu Qiu finally arrived at the wedding banquet and took their seats. They began to eat heartily.
Although Chiu Chiu was very tired, she felt a great sense of accomplishment and ate her food with great relish.
For my mother, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it's all worth it!
The vegetables grown in this temple are indeed delicious. It seems I need to expand my space and plant more vegetables. Otherwise, after a palace banquet or a wedding feast, all my vegetables will be picked clean.
The maids brought out a new batch of dishes.
This batch of dishes, in terms of both style and taste, is several levels above the previous dishes.
Someone tasted it and exclaimed in surprise, "This dish, this dish is so delicious again! Waaah..."
Chuchu quickly comforted him, saying, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Waaaah... I should have known better than to eat so much! I can barely eat any of this delicious food now!"
After hearing what he said, everyone burst into laughter.
But as much as we laugh, who isn't like that?
My stomach is already bulging from eating so much.
Nowadays, the dishes have become even better, but it's hard to eat such delicious food.
This is probably the cruelest punishment for a foodie!
And Chiu Chiu arrived at just the right time, just in time for this batch of even more delicious delicacies.
Xiao Feng: They don't know that the food in the back kitchen was made even better because of the joyful mood of the kitchen staff and the power of the immortal wine!
The princes also ate heartily.
The Third Prince had already eaten three large bowls of rice, and even Qiuqiu had to advise him, "Stop eating, it doesn't feel good to be too full."
Only after being repeatedly persuaded by Jiu Jiu did the Third Prince put down his chopsticks.
The Third Prince pestered Qiuqiu, saying, "If you make me not eat now, you'll have to invite me to meals more often in the future. Otherwise, I'll eat until I'm too full to walk, and then have someone carry me away!"
Chiu Chiu had no choice but to agree.
Sigh! There's just no way around it!
Princess Ningxin had never tasted anything so delicious.
She only remembered her business after she finished eating and let out a loud burp.
Princess Ningxin gave her maid Xiaocui a wink.
Xiao Cui nodded and walked towards Xie Ju'an. When she reached him, she whispered, "Lord Xie, a distinguished person is looking for you in the backyard."
Xie Ju'an didn't think much of it.
This has happened many times before, mostly in an attempt to get closer to him.
After all, he is now a close advisor to the emperor, and everyone wants to curry favor with him.
In such situations, Xie Ju'an would usually go over and exchange a few pleasantries to avoid offending the other party.
But it was just small talk.
So Xie Ju'an went out as usual.
When they arrived at the backyard, there was no one around.
It seems that the person looking for him had dismissed the people around him to avoid being noticed.
Xie Ju'an was drawn by a fragrant aroma and walked into a house.
