Chapter 471 Setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches at the entrance of the Imperial Study



Despite the pain, Kangxi straightened his back and puffed out his chest, trying his best to show some dignity and masculinity.

Wei Xiaobao quickly knelt down: "This servant greets Your Majesty."

Li Huan didn't want to kneel down, so he deliberately said, "Xiao Chunzi, don't be afraid. Xiao Xuanzi is definitely not the emperor!"

Wei Xiaobao said, "Xiao Xuanzi wasn't castrated, so he's definitely not a eunuch. He must be the Emperor!"

Kangxi coughed a few times: "That's right, I am the Emperor! I deliberately disguised myself as a eunuch to have a martial arts contest with you two."

Li Huan pointed at Princess Jianning: "You are the Emperor, who is he?"

Emperor Kangxi said, "She is my younger sister, Princess Jianning!"

"Sister?" Li Huan feigned shock. "No way, Xiao Ningzi is actually Princess Jianning?"

Princess Jianning giggled, raised her hand to remove her hat, revealing a head of jet-black hair.

"Holy crap!" Li Huan exclaimed, "You really are a woman! No wonder..."

Princess Jianning asked, "No wonder what?"

Li Huan gazed at Princess Jianning's neckline and smiled subtly.

Princess Jianning's face flushed slightly.

Li Huan said, "I've always wondered why you're so thin but have such well-developed pectoral muscles. Now I finally understand!"

Princess Jianning's face turned even redder.

Li Huan laughed and said, "Fortunately, the Emperor stopped me in time. Otherwise, if I had caught you with the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand, you can imagine what the consequences would have been!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a eunuch ran to the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this servant reports! Lord Ao Bai requests an audience!"

Kangxi's face darkened.

"That old scoundrel barged into the Imperial Study without my permission!"

"Jianning, Xiaohuanzi, Xiaochunzi, you all need to step aside for now!"

Li Huan said, "It's too late to leave the Imperial Study! Quickly hide under the desk!"

Princess Jianning and Wei Xiaobao quickly followed Li Huan and crawled under the desk.

However, after Li Huan and Princess Jianning crawled inside, the space under the desk was too limited to accommodate Wei Xiaobao.

Left with no other choice, Kangxi had to order Wei Xiaobao to stand next to the desk and impersonate a eunuch in the imperial study.

Soon, Ao Bai led a group of ministers into the imperial study.

After the officials paid their respects, Aobai requested that Emperor Kangxi issue an imperial edict to arrest Grand Secretary Sony.

Emperor Kangxi was displeased and rejected Ao Bai.

Unexpectedly, Ao Bai, together with other ministers, put pressure on Emperor Kangxi.

Listening to Ao Bai's outrageous remarks, showing no regard for Kangxi, Li Huan couldn't help but feel sorry for Kangxi.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Bai went to the desk, personally ground the ink, and urged Kangxi to write the imperial edict.

At this moment, Princess Jianning suddenly reached out, wanting to play the game of "Monkey Picking Peaches" and attack Li Huan's vitals.

Li Huan pretended that he didn't have time to stop her, and Princess Jianning caught him firmly!

Princess Jianning was delighted upon successfully grabbing the object, but her eyes widened in shock.

"You...you have peaches too...you're not a eunuch..."

As she spoke, Princess Jianning's subordinate exerted force and grabbed her again.

"Holy crap!" Li Huan shouted deliberately, crawling out from under the desk, startling Ao Bai into taking a few steps back.

"Who...who are you? Sneaking around like that, drag him out and execute him!"

Emperor Kangxi, quick-witted as ever, exclaimed: "He is my confidant!"

Li Huan quickly straightened his clothes and looked at Ao Bai with a smile.

The ministers hurriedly paid their respects to Li Huan in a flattering manner.

"My trusted confidant! My trusted confidant!"

Ao Bai wasn't buying it, coldly scrutinizing Li Huan: "A confidant? Hmph!"

Li Huan announced loudly, "I am not only the Emperor's confidant, but I am also here by imperial decree to sell boxed lunches! You gentlemen have come at the perfect time, please support me!"

Li Huan stepped out of the imperial study, arrived at the electric tricycle, and opened the food container.

Instantly, a delightful fragrance wafted out and drifted into the imperial study.

Taking the opportunity, Kangxi said, "Wow! It smells so good! I'm hungry again, let's go eat some boxed lunch!"

He quickly left the imperial study and went to the stall.

Li Huan had already set out a folding dining table and stools for Kangxi to sit down.

"Give me another box of 'Spicy Crayfish,' with plenty of broth, and also open a bottle of ice-cold beer!"

"Alright! Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

Li Huan quickly filled a box with "spicy crayfish," opened a bottle of chilled beer, and placed it in front of Kangxi.

Enraged, Ao Bai led his ministers to surround the electric tricycle.

"I noticed this car's unusual appearance earlier; it turns out it's the vehicle of my trusted confidant!"

"My trusted confidant is handsome and dashing, and his car is also uniquely designed!"

"These dishes are so delicious and beautifully presented, could they have been made by your trusted confidant?"

...

Li Huan cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

"Boxed lunches for sale! Boxed lunches for sale! Delicious boxed lunches, top-quality boxed lunches!"

"Four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, unlimited steamed buns, and unlimited fresh soup!"

Ao Bai shouted, "Outrageous! How dare you set up a stall in the palace! And right at the entrance of the Imperial Study!"

Li Huan smiled slightly, took out a golden token from his pouch, and held it up to show it.

"Lord Ao, look closely, what is this?"

Ao Bai approached Li Huan, stared at the golden token, and read aloud: "By imperial decree, set up a stall to sell boxed lunches!"

Li Huan said, "This is a token bestowed by the Emperor, allowing me to set up a stall selling boxed lunches in the palace!"

Ao Bai was speechless.

Upon seeing this, the ministers began to shout and protest.

"My trusted lord has been ordered to set up a stall selling boxed lunches, and I, your humble servant, must support him!"

"I'll buy a boxed lunch and savor the cooking of my trusted confidant!"

"I'll buy two!"

"I'll buy five!"

...

The ministers rushed to take out their silver.

Li Huan announced: "Each boxed meal will cost one hundred taels of silver!"
