Although he was old, his imposing presence and radiant spirit were astounding—this was An Ge's first impression of Emperor Feng Zhao. Thanks to her spiritual root attribute, An Ge's sensitivity to people's auras, though not as high as Rong Zhuo's or Shenwa's, allowed her to sense the subtle aura emanating from this old man.
Although Emperor Feng Zhao became occasionally confused in his old age, based on An Ge's understanding of the entire Daye Kingdom, this emperor could be considered a wise ruler for most of his life. Therefore, An Ge had a fairly good impression of Emperor Feng Zhao.
Upon seeing the friendly smile of An Ge, Emperor Feng Zhao's tense mood eased slightly. "We have caused you much trouble, and we hope the shopkeeper will forgive us." Before meeting An Ge, he already knew he needed to change how he addressed the immortal.
"I'm overjoyed that Grandpa Feng has come all this way. Did you rest well yesterday?"
Upon hearing An Ge's address, Emperor Feng Zhao relaxed. "Haha, I feel like I've become several years younger after waking up." This wasn't flattery; it was a genuine feeling.
In fact, he felt much better after meeting Fairy Boy yesterday. A comfortable night's rest made that feeling even more pronounced.
"Has the old man seen Ginseng Child before?" Only then did he notice that Emperor Feng Zhao had the aura of Ginseng Child on him.
Emperor Feng Zhao was startled, but then he understood An Ge's divine abilities. "I did see the little fairy boy yesterday." He then recounted his meeting with the ginseng child.
An Ge was speechless after hearing this. Shenwa was too simple-minded. Only after An Ge repeatedly emphasized that she would not try to curry favor with powerful figures. But she broke down when she saw Emperor Feng Zhao.
However, although emperors are mortals, they carry the fate of a nation and are protected by dragon energy. In addition, Emperor Feng Zhao is a wise ruler with many merits, so it's no wonder that Shenwa likes him.
To welcome Emperor Feng Zhao and his entourage, An Ge specially arranged for chefs Sun and Wei to prepare a feast. The group moved to the themed restaurant, enjoying the delicious food, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Emperor Fengzhao thought he had already tasted the finest delicacies yesterday, but he was surprised to find that today's food was even better, and he couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
No wonder Prince Duan highly praised the inn. Putting aside the magical items, the food alone made it hard to leave.
Emperor Feng Zhao originally planned to leave after visiting the immortals, but after spending the night there, he gradually put that idea out of his mind.
Having worked hard for most of my life, it's time for me to enjoy myself. As for state affairs? Aren't Prince Duan and Prince Kang vying for the throne? Why not hand it over to one of them?
Feng Jinghan and Feng Jingchi never expected that a single meal would change the mind of the emperor, who had always been reluctant to relinquish power over state affairs.
Feng Jinghan took a bite of the braised pork and was pleasantly surprised, "Old Sun's cooking skills have improved again!"
Emperor Fengzhao, due to health reasons, could never eat too much oily food. He also loved braised pork, but unfortunately, after taking a bite, he could only put down his chopsticks with regret.
I've heard that the holy spring only has a noticeable effect on external injuries and toxins, but soaking in it for a long time can strengthen the body. I wonder if it can improve his diet.
Although An Ge was not a physician, judging from the food Emperor Feng Zhao ate, she could roughly guess that he probably suffered from some kind of lifestyle disease, such as high blood pressure. This kind of disease was very common in her previous life, but the medical level in this era was low, and it could be life-threatening if not taken seriously.
"Chef Sun was recently promoted to senior chef, and you don't have to worry about the food he makes putting a strain on your body."
Upon hearing An Ge's words, Emperor Feng Zhao finally felt reassured and began to taste the food. Since the immortal said so, then there must be no problem.
There were a few interesting anecdotes about Chef Sun's advancement.
Since An Ge gave Chef Sun the reward "a cookbook (green)," he has successfully advanced after a period of hard work.
After being promoted to senior chef, Chef Sun smiled at everyone he met. It is said that because of this, many people in the kitchen were not used to it, fearing that Chef Sun was laughing in anger, and they became hesitant and timid in their work.
In the end, it was Chef Wei who stepped in and restored the kitchen to normal.
When Old Sun found out, he was so angry that he complained to An Ge for a long time, "What kind of mess is this?"
Thinking back to this, An Ge ate even more happily. "You can talk to Lao Sun about this. He's been feeling down lately. Hearing what you said will probably cheer him up a lot."
Why is that?
Then An Ge shared Chef Sun's embarrassing story with Feng Jinghan, and after she finished, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
Emperor Feng Zhao and the others were somewhat surprised by the way An Ge and Feng Jinghan interacted. They knew that the immortal valued Prince Duan, and they thought that Prince Duan would be extremely respectful to the immortal, but they didn't expect the two to get along like friends.
An Ge's act of chatting and laughing with Feng Jinghan in front of Emperor Feng Zhao was intentional.
Although she had never left Huaixi City, she knew about the happenings in the capital from gossiping with Yunmo. The fact that Emperor Fengzhao had brought two of the most fiercely contested princes this time was something An Ge could easily guess the underlying meaning behind.
Since that's the case, she doesn't mind promoting Feng Jinghan.
Besides, that was how she and Feng Jinghan had always interacted before.
Feng Jinghan was delighted by An Ge's attitude, but then she thought that in the eyes of immortals, even an emperor was nothing special; he was the same before and he was the same now.
The immortal's attitude was entirely beneficial to him, so he naturally wouldn't be restrained just because his father was there.
Hu Jiu knew what An Ge was thinking and didn't care about her attitude towards Feng Jinghan. He used to be jealous because he lacked self-confidence, but now that the two of them had already made their feelings clear, he naturally wouldn't make a fuss over a small matter.
While An Ge and Feng Jinghan were chatting, he would occasionally say a few words to Emperor Feng Zhao, so that Emperor Feng Zhao would not feel neglected.
An Ge took a moment to give Hu Jiu an approving look; this guy was really getting better and better at it. She had never liked dinner parties, and she wouldn't have arranged one this time if it weren't to show how much she valued Emperor Feng Zhao.
If it weren't for Hu Jiu's constant support, she really wouldn't know how to continue her conversation with Emperor Feng Zhao. By the time the dinner was almost over, Hu Jiu and Emperor Feng Zhao were already showing signs of becoming close friends despite their age difference.
Of course, the older one is Hu Jiu, and the younger one is Emperor Feng Zhao! After all, Hu Jiu's real age is at least a thousand years old, old enough to be Emperor Feng Zhao's ancestor.
Wait, I'm not even twenty yet. Although Hu Jiu is only just an adult in the demon race, she's lived for over a thousand years. Has she found an ancient relic as her boyfriend?
Hu Jiu never expected that his seniority would increase so rapidly in just one meal. He looked at An Ge's cautious gaze and gave her a doting smile.
Handsome men are irresistible! An Ge immediately forgot all other thoughts. Her boyfriend was so handsome, so what if he was older!
