Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Oh yes, in a few days, a troop of merchants from my Gao family’s Chamber of Commerce will be going to Feng Ze Country. If you all don’t mind, we can go together. We would have company along the journey,” Gao Wentian said eagerly.

With his position, it was very rare for him to go out with merchants, so it was quite obvious that he wanted to spend some more time with this group. Since young, he had been raised as the next successor of the Gao family, so he was used to seeing people cheating and betraying each other. It was only when he started to spend time with Ling Chuxi and the others that he really felt the warmth and trust between friends.

“You wouldn’t be trying to hire us as your bodyguards, would you?” Lan Xinyu asked half-jokingly.

“Even if I wanted to, I can’t afford it.” Gao Wentian smiled in amusement.

“If you all go, then what about me?” Fu Huayi raised her head and asked in distress.

“If you are talking about that pig head above your neck, I think you can braise it or fry it,” Lan Xinyu said teasingly.

“Lan Xinyu, I am going to poison you to death. We’ll die together!” Fu Huayi bared her teeth and lunged at Lan Xinyu, eyes gleaming in mischief.

Lan Xinyu turned around to dodge, and the garden was soon filled with laughter.

“Alright, alright, we’ll come accompany you when we are free, okay? Everything will be the same as before!” Lan Xinyu begged for mercy after being chased relentlessly by Fu Huayi.

“That’s more like it.” Only then did Fu Huayi let her go.

“Let’s go. We should have a nice meal first, are there any good new restaurants in the city?” Ling Chuxi asked, seeing that the sky was getting dark.

“Yes, there is. The newly-opened Thousand Return Seafood Lodge is rumored to be really good,” Lan Xinyu offered.

“Ah, there is another called The Village Restaurant, they say it’s always crowded,” Fu Huayi added. She truly was a wise empress of a generation. She not only governed the big matters of the country, but she also took note of the small matters of the ordinary folk.

However, it might have just been limited to this situation.

“Oh, what about this one…”

Fu Chengyu, Baili Han, and the others exchanged glances. As long as Ling Chuxi, Lan Xinyu, and Fu Huayi were around, the conversation would always turn to food. Nonetheless, the nostalgia warmed their hearts.

After a brief discussion, they finally decided to visit The Village Restaurant because it was rumored to offer good food made from high-quality game, which was very suited to the appetite of the few carnivorous people there.

The carriages rode towards the capital, with a few hundred hidden guards secretly protecting them. The guards were quite at ease, since the people in the carriages were all the strongest experts in Nan Xia, besides the guardian. Wanting to kill Her Majesty before their eyes would be more challenging than directly barging into the imperial palace.

The Village Restaurant’s wild game were indeed top-notch, and the dishes were authentic. The taste was unique without losing the flavor of the meat, which made the entire meal unforgettable. Other than for the time she had been chased by Ye Qianhe, it was the first time Ling Chuxi had tasted such a deliciously natural flavor.

The group wolfed everything down until only the scent of the meal lingered in the air, and only then did they finally leave.

“Ninth Prince.” As they walked out of the private room, three people came up to greet them. All of them looked dignified, and one of them looked at Fu Chengyu in delight. Ever since the fifth princess had ascended the throne, Fu Chengyu had been conferred the title of Duke.

“Lord Envoy.” Fu Chengyu frowned slightly, but was still polite.

Ling Chuxi and the rest immediately realized that this was the envoy of Ding Lin Country. The others were probably the disciples of sects.

Ling Chuxi subconsciously looked over. The two young men seemed to be in their early twenties, and despite their calm exterior it was clear they had pride, rather different from the family clan disciples that she had seen in the past.
