Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Leaving the Palace to Visit Extreme Flavor Residence (Seventh Update)_1 Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Leaving the Palace to Visit Extreme Flavor Residence (Seventh Update)_1 The Liu family was to do the heaviest work, eat the least food, and occasionally be rewarded with a few lashings, to keep them in constant agony–but not so despairing as to take their own lives.
For them, a quick death would be too lenient; they must spend the rest of their lives in hardship, never sated and always beaten, to truly atone for the “gift” of the hellish flower.
As for Yang Wang.
Considering he is my grandson, if Jia Cheng claims ignorance, then I shall take it that Yang Wang knows nothing.
For my own family, I reserve the last of my mercy.
After giving this command, Yang Wenxiao felt refreshed and took the imperial carriage to the East Palace.
Yang Zheng must have been terrified these past few days; I need to give him some proper comfort.
Indeed, Yang Zheng had been frightened, but now filled with hope, he declared that he would surely survive.
After all, he was already fourteen years old, a young man now!
Yang Wenxiao watched him clench his little fists and pledge, growing fonder as he watched, hugged him a few times, and then ordered the Mahjong table to be set up.
Ever since he realized something was amiss in the Imperial Kitchen, a weight had been on his mind which had never left, but now that the matter was progressing, his heart felt lighter, and he could enjoy a good game!
Yang Wenxiao remained in the East Palace until late at night before returning to Da’an Palace; Qiao Xiaomai brought supper, and seeing his good mood, took the opportunity to speak, “Your Majesty, the retired emperor, I and the third master have a request.”
“What is it?” Yang Wenxiao asked while sipping his soup.
“We have been in the Capital City for several days now and would like to visit Restaurant. Among those pigs, two are intended as gifts for the Prime Minister…” Qiao Xiaomai said hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao clicked his tongue, “Trivial matter, the two of you may leave the Palace tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Qiao Xiaomai quickly expressed her gratitude.
“Remember to come back early, as the Royal family now only recognizes your culinary skills,” Yang Wenxiao advised.
Qiao Xiaomai promptly agreed.
The next day, after breakfast, Tong Sanlang tied two pigs to the cart and, together with Qiao Xiaomai, drove the cart out of the Palace.
It was evening when they arrived in the Capital City, and they entered the Palace in the dark, only now having the chance to take in the sights of the Capital City.
Sitting beside Tong Sanlang, Qiao Xiaomai looked at the lively crowd ahead, like a country girl fresh in the city, her head turning left and right continuously without pause.
In terms of liveliness, the Capital City could match the bustling of a big modern city.
Unfortunately, she had to rush back to the Imperial Palace before noon, so she could only look, not stroll in detail.
The two of them crossed the busy streets and headed straight for Restaurant.
The Restaurant in the Capital City was more luxurious than the one in Bailu Town, towering three stories high, with a five-section large Courtyard in the back, truly reflecting the grandeur of Daqi’s foremost restaurant.
Hong Qian Shopkeeper was delighted to see Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai.
He welcomed them to the most elegant Private Room and said, “I will go send someone to notify the Prime Minister.”
“There’s no need, Xiaomai and I can’t stay long, hmm… let’s reschedule for three days from now,” said Tong Sanlang, “Xiaomai and I have brought two pigs, please send them to the Prime Minister’s residence later, to let Lord Six have a taste.”
“Yes,” Shopkeeper Hong agreed.
“Bring me the ledger to look over,” Tong Sanlang requested.
Hong Qian quickly went to fetch the ledger.
The ledger Tong Sanlang mentioned referred to the accounts from last winter, and although it covered only a short period, there were over ten volumes.
Last winter, there were too many new things, and hence too much silver was earned.
