Chapter 330 Dinner
"Wei An, how long will it take us to get to Kyoto?"
Luo Xiaoran, who was feasting in her tent, asked.
Wei An thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "About 20 days."
In order to ensure the emperor's comfort as much as possible, the speed of the imperial carriage was not fast and was certainly not as fast as that of light cavalry.
Fortunately, there are people who will calculate the place to rest every day and then send people to set up camp in advance.
As a result, when the emperor arrived at the camp, it was already late, so it was a good time to rest.
Early the next morning, after the imperial carriage set off, the same group of people packed up the camp and then went to the next location to continue setting up camp.
This saves time in arranging your accommodation.
Luo Xiaoran pursed her lips. Emperor Tianqi really cherished this hard-earned freedom. He walked at a moderate pace... Well, she would just think of it as a free tour with a luxury tour group.
"Princess, the emperor has summoned you to dine with him. Also at the table are Concubine Bai and Princess Qingyi."
Looking at Luo Xiaoran who couldn't stop eating, Wei An reported with a subtle look in his eyes.
Luo Xiaoran immediately stopped what she was doing. She had gone to the emperor's house for dinner many times in the past few days... and the food was so disgusting!
The food was all cold and had been eaten by the eunuchs because they were testing for poison?(?＞?＜?)?
"Princess..." Wei An hesitated, "How about you pretend to be sick and not go?"
"The Emperor summoned me, and if I don't go, wouldn't that be considered disobedience? Don't worry, it's okay!"
Luo Xiaoran was the last one to arrive, because this dinner was originally intended for Emperor Tianqi, Concubine Bai and Chen Lingyi. When all the dishes were served, someone somehow remembered Luo Xiaoran and went to call her.
This time, the dining venue was outside the tent. Emperor Tianqi sat at the top, Concubine Bai and Chen Lingyi sat at the bottom, one on each side. Luo Xiaoran sat next to Concubine Bai.
In the middle of the venue, a large wild boar was being roasted. The fire underneath had gone out, and it seemed that the wild boar had been roasted.
"Luo Xiaoran, my cavalry guards have hunted a wild boar in the nearby woods. You're in for a treat tonight!"
"Then I would like to thank the emperor first."
Looking at the shiny and juicy roasted wild boar, Luo Xiaoran felt a little greedy. She thought it would be another cold meal, but she didn't expect such a surprise.
Soon, the poison-testing eunuchs inserted silver needles into various parts of the roasted wild boar to test the poison, and then cut it into slices for tasting.
After it was finally proven safe, the roast pork was sliced and given to the four people present.
After Emperor Tianqi started eating, Concubine Bai and Chen Lingyi followed suit. Only Luo Xiaoran directly grabbed a pork leg and started chewing it, showing a bold and unrestrained attitude.
Seeing the way Luo Xiaoran ate, a hint of interest appeared on Emperor Tianqi's face, and his eyes kept moving over her.
On the other hand, Concubine Bai first felt contempt for Luo Xiaoran, but then she remembered that she had actually regarded her as a threat in the past, and she burst out laughing.
Only Chen Lingyi showed undisguised disgust after seeing Luo Xiaoran's appearance.
Her uncle was going to marry such a vulgar person! How could she let such a country woman defile her uncle!
Zhu Yan, who was standing behind Chen Lingyi, stared at Luo Xiaoran anxiously. Seeing that she had to rely on her hands to eat the whole dinner, she couldn't help but clench her own hands.
After dinner, Luo Xiaoran expressed her gratitude to Emperor Tianqi and went back happily.
Wei An followed Luo Xiaoran in silence all the way until they reached the tent.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask! Don't keep it in your heart."
