Chapter 486 Xuan Mo Returns to the Palace, the Three Siblings Wait for Delivery to Their Door
As the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) approached, the Hall of Mental Cultivation, located next to the Imperial Study, was bustling with activity, and a long-lost lively atmosphere quietly filled the air.
However, upon closer examination, there is an inexplicable sense of unease that permeates every inch of the air within the hall.
"We've been waiting for you to come back, brother! These days, with the Emperor away from the palace, Wanling has been so bored she's practically turning into mold."
The emperor spends all his time burying himself in handling state affairs, while his younger brother is a young but deep-thinking and taciturn man...
"Hmph, I want to go out of the palace to play, but I can't find anyone to accompany me!"
The Hall of Mental Cultivation was bustling with activity as the family reunited. The former desolation and solemnity had long been replaced by this warm atmosphere.
On the dragon throne, Xuan Moyuan sat upright, dressed in a dark blue robe with gilded dragon patterns. He looked relaxed and carefree, with a touch of nonchalant laziness.
However, judging from the fingers he kept fidgeting under the table and the slight upturn of his lips, it was easy to tell that he was in a really good mood at the moment.
Upon learning of the return of Prince Wenxuan to the palace, Xuan Moyuan immediately sent someone to invite his younger sister, Princess Wanling, over.
He knew in his heart that his elder brother would not return to the palace empty-handed, and his clever and mischievous third sister had always been the one who loved to join in the fun.
Sure enough, just as the two brothers were reunited after a long separation and exchanging pleasantries, their third sister, Xuan Wanling, hopped and skipped in.
Although she openly accused the Emperor, she actually glanced at her elder brother with great cunning.
Seeing that the Emperor only pretended to be angry and gave her a slight glare, she was completely relieved.
In this palace, apart from the emperor, she has always been a fearless and mischievous little devil since childhood.
Even the Empress Dowager, their mother, was helpless against her.
This only precious daughter of the Xuan family was pampered and spoiled by the whole family since she was a child.
Xuan Wanling's eyes darted around, and seeing that her eldest brother seemed to have returned empty-handed, she couldn't help but pout and say coquettishly:
"Why has my brother been away from the palace for so long? He's only been enjoying himself outside, eating and drinking to his heart's content, without even bringing back a scrap for us to try..."
"Hmph, Your Majesty, you have no heart!"
Before his younger sister arrived, Xuan Molin was recounting to the Emperor in detail the wondrous experiences of his return journey—
He cleverly boarded the high-speed rail that had just opened today, and just over two hours earlier, he was still in that mysterious and unpredictable "fairyland".
When it comes to the "fairyland," words cannot fully describe its wonders.
Xuan Molin only picked out the main points and gave a brief account.
When he mentioned that he had specially purchased a large amount of local delicacies in [Fairyland] this morning, just waiting for his sister to arrive so he could demonstrate the legendary "delivery to her door" service...
He keenly noticed a subtle change in the Emperor's expression, which clearly showed a hint of pleasure.
However, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of the Third Princess.
Xuan Molin was naturally very patient with this little sister, and said with a smile:
"Wanling, you've misunderstood me as your brother."
"Your Majesty will now perform a magic trick for you, conjuring up the delicious food I specially brought back for you, you little glutton. Do you believe me?"
Upon seeing that his elder brother now also possessed that magical [Fairyland Bracelet], Xuan Moyuan's eyes flashed slightly, but he quickly concealed that strange glint.
Among them, only Xuan Wanling, who had been staying in the palace all day due to the recent hot weather and was too lazy to go out, was completely unaware of this and had never even heard of the name "Fairyland".
Hearing his elder brother say this, he was utterly puzzled and tilted his head, saying:
"Huh? It's been so long since I've seen you, brother. Why are you joking around? I just don't believe it. Are you treating me like a three-year-old?"
Xuan Wanling raised her head in dissatisfaction, her little face full of disbelief, taking it as her brother talking nonsense and deliberately teasing her.
"Hey, just watch closely~"
Seeing that his third sister didn't believe him, Xuan Molin couldn't help but feel a bit teased. He immediately pretended to gesture and muttered something under his breath:
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, home delivery, arriving here immediately..."
"Xiao Jing received your order, which has been dispatched."
To ensure that the delivery pigeon can deliver directly to your location, please go to a place where there is sunlight or open your doors and windows so that the delivery pigeon can enter.
We will be delivering your order to your door shortly. Thank you for your cooperation.
Xuan Molin saw that the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was open, so he followed the instructions and walked to the door. He thought that there was no obstruction here, so the delivery pigeon could probably fly in directly.
"Uh, Your Majesty, the goods will be delivered soon, but this is a forbidden area of the palace. When the goods arrive by carrier pigeon, please be careful not to alert your Imperial Guards..."
Although Xuan Mo Lin had ordered takeout before and knew that it came from the air, this was the first time it had been delivered to his door. He was afraid that he might be mistaken for a "thorn bird" and accidentally injured by the Imperial Guards on the way...
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I already ordered takeout yesterday. The Imperial Guards have already been informed that any pigeons delivering goods to my palace must be allowed to pass and must not be obstructed."
Although Wu Fu had already passed on these words yesterday, these flying pigeons are quite strange, and seem to have a way of becoming invisible. The Imperial Guards probably can't do anything about them and can only watch helplessly as they come and go as they please.
Their conversation left Xuan Wanling completely bewildered, and she asked, full of doubt:
"No, my two royal brothers, are you really not kidding me? Birds can deliver goods... That sounds too outrageous, does it really make sense?"
"Ahem, my royal sister, you haven't heard of a wondrous place called 'Fairyland,' have you?"
You'll understand when you get there.
Whether it's reasonable or not doesn't matter; the key is the food there. The taste will absolutely amaze you, and you'll be able to try it for yourself soon.
Xuan Molin also realized at this moment that it is now possible to order takeout in the capital.
However, since he has already carefully purchased the goods in [Fairyland] and arranged for delivery, there is naturally no need to order additional takeout today.
Just as Xuan Wanling was asking one question after another with the curiosity of a kitten, the bracelet suddenly alerted him that the goods had arrived in the air and asked if he needed them delivered indoors.
He quickly confirmed, then hurriedly interrupted his sister, who was anxiously asking questions, "Your Majesty, Wanling, the things have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, three delivery pigeons, lined up in neat rows, each carrying several large bags of goods in their claws, flew in through the main gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a grand manner.
They are well-trained and can accurately and systematically lock onto the faces of guests.
Even though the three siblings looked somewhat alike, they wouldn't mistake their customer for someone else and flew straight down to Xuan Molin's side...
