"tasty!"
When the dragon meat hot pot was placed in front of her, and she ate this exquisite spiritual dish, the ultimate enjoyment for her taste buds made Rong Xi feel that this was what it meant to enjoy life.
The delicious food she experienced in her dream, the so-called luxurious life she had, was incomparable to this.
"Master, should we bring Uncle Jia into the sect as well?"
Magpie stood by and whispered, "This servant feels that Uncle Jia seems to have some unusual ideas!"
"What makes it so special?"
Rong Xi enjoyed the dragon meat hotpot and turned to look at the magpie.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel that Uncle Jia always puts a lot of effort into cooking for you, Master. It seems like he wants to show his loyalty to you!"
Is that strange?
Rong Xi rolled her eyes at Xi Que, "As a spirit chef, one must have sufficient experience in preparing spirit dishes. However, for most spirit chefs, the ingredients for spirit dishes are very difficult to collect. Because of me, Pao Jia never has to worry about ingredients in our household. Don't you think he has to fawn over me?"
Rong Xi could easily guess what Pao Jia was thinking.
However, what the magpie said makes a lot of sense.
If the Yantian Sect reopens its gates, the sect will definitely need to prepare several high-level spiritual chefs.
"Master, you're absolutely right. So, should we accept Uncle Jia into our sect?"
"No rush."
Rong Xi smiled slightly, "When the Yantian Sect's mountain gate reopens, as long as I, the Princess Consort, say the word, he will definitely join the sect."
Rong Xi had no doubt about this.
Any spirit chef who knows that the Yantian Sect has an inexhaustible supply of spirit food ingredients would probably be eager to join the Yantian Sect.
In fact, Rong Xi didn't really want to recruit people from Prince Yong's Mansion into the Yantian Sect. Hmm, she felt like she was undermining the Fourth Prince's influence, which seemed a bit unethical.
...
The Fourth Prince left for two days, and the Yong Prince's Mansion closed its doors to visitors for two days.
On the third day, Rong Xi continued as usual. However, an unexpected guest arrived in the small town of Zichuan and appeared outside the Yong Prince's Mansion.
The First Princess Consort has arrived!
When Su Peisheng brought this news, Rong Xi was truly stunned for a long time.
Irgenjue Luoshi!
"Please come in quickly!"
Rong Xi snapped out of her daze and quickly spoke.
However, before Su Peisheng could leave, she personally led Xique, Rui Mama, Xiang Mama and others quickly toward the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Regardless of the circumstances, this woman from the Irgen Gioro clan was her sister-in-law.
Well, in our previous interactions, although the First Princess Consort was somewhat unpleasant, she was actually quite kind-hearted.
"Sister-in-law!"
Before long, Rong Xi saw the Irgen Gioro clan waiting outside the door and greeted them warmly.
"Fourth sister-in-law, it's been a long time!"
When Yiergenjueluo saw Rong Xi, she quickly came to greet her.
Then, the two sisters-in-law had a warm and friendly conversation.
Rong Xi accepted the invitation from Lady Irgen Gioro to enter the mansion. After the host and guest were seated, a plate of spiritual fruit was brought up by a magpie before Rong Xi began discussing business with Lady Irgen Gioro.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
"Fourth sister-in-law, to be honest, I've come here for help!"
Instead of beating around the bush with Rong Xi, Lady Irgen Gioro went straight to the point.
"Please speak, sister-in-law!"
Rong Xi smiled and said, "I will definitely help if I can!"
Rong Xi had a good impression of the First Consort. This woman was quite straightforward. Well, although she could be a bit gossipy and annoying at times, it was clear that she wasn't a bad person at heart.
However, Rong Xi did not fully trust the Irgen Gioro clan.
The eldest prince's birth mother was Consort Hui.
Consort Hui, a pawn infiltrated into Emperor Kangxi's harem by the Free Spirit faction, was exposed because of Rong Xi's affair. Afterwards, she faked her death and went into hiding with Kangxi. Kangxi ordered the Imperial Observatory to alter the memories of many people, including Consort Hui's origins. However, Rong Xi couldn't be sure whether Kangxi had given the First Prince special treatment.
Rongxi did not trust Emperor Kangxi.
Just like this time, when Kangxi suddenly appeared in the small town of Zichuan, Rongxi felt that Kangxi had come with ill intentions.
However, strangely enough, after meeting with the Fourth Prince and sending him to a market town for unaffiliated cultivators, Kangxi disappeared without a trace. This left Rongxi unable to determine Kangxi's true intentions for the time being—whether he was playing the long game or had other plans. Rongxi was truly uneasy if she couldn't find out the truth.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I heard that you and my fourth brother held a grand feast of spiritual food in the small town of Zichuan. Is this true or not?"
"This is real!"
Although the grand feast of spirit food has ended, anyone in the small town of Zichuan who makes a little inquiry can tell just how dazzling the feast was back then.
"Fourth sister-in-law, your sister-in-law has come here to ask you for some spiritual food!"
"watt……?!"
Rong Xi stared at the First Consort in astonishment, wondering if she had misheard.
Even though the eldest prince has been exiled to the border by the crown prince, it shouldn't be too difficult for him, as a prince, to have a meal of spirit food!
"Does your fourth sister-in-law find this hard to understand? Is it difficult for her to imagine?"
Yiergenjueluo sighed, "You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. My sister-in-law only now realizes how comfortable life really was before!"
"Mohe is a small town located in an extremely cold region, where everything is covered in white. Snow beasts roam the icy land. To fight against the snow beasts, the imperial garrison in Mohe is on standby day and night. Even my sister-in-law has to go into battle to fight the enemy from time to time."
"Sister-in-law, you've suffered so much!"
Although Rong Xi didn't know the exact location of Mohe, she could roughly guess its location from what the Irgen Gioro clan had said.
Those places are really tough.
“Suffering for a short time is nothing. What I’m afraid of now is that this suffering will last a lifetime! Staying in that freezing cold place, with not a single patch of green in sight, I feel like I’ll go crazy if it goes on for too long!”
The First Princess Consort was truly suffering.
When she first arrived in Mohe, the First Princess was still fantasizing about the good life that was about to begin. But when she arrived in Mohe, she tragically realized that she had been too optimistic about the world!
"Fourth sister-in-law, the spiritual food that my sister-in-law has come to request involves ten thousand cultivators. I know this is a bit unreasonable, but I beg you!"
"Without these spiritual foods, my sister-in-law and everyone in Mohe Town would probably be doomed!"
"Sister-in-law, why did you have to go to this?"
Is a spiritual meal really that serious, a matter of life and death?
Rong Xi stared at the First Princess Consort in astonishment.
