Transcending the Rural Life: The Healer's Space is Igniting the World!

Chapter 518 Hello, I'll have a little something.

"drive!"

A loud shout broke the argument, and the group realized that Yang Jinfan was gone!

"Your Highness!"

"Miss!"

"Alright, all of you stay here and wait for your young lady to return! With your young lady's abilities, don't you believe she can handle it? If all else fails, you still have your Valley Master and me."

Lan Ze's appearance stopped the group from moving, and they only came to their senses after the crescent-white figure disappeared.

"With Master Lanxuan here, Miss will definitely be fine!"

The two little ones exchanged glances, both seeing resentment and frustration in each other's eyes.

However, they also really wanted to follow the young lady!

"Um, how about we... sneak off?"

As soon as Bai Fu said this, everyone looked at him with agreement.

"What are you thinking! Stay in the manor. How can the princess's manor be left unattended without you all here?"

Lan Ze reappeared before everyone as if by magic, and casually tapped Bai Fu on the head with his fan, making him wince in pain.

He knew they would come up with some bad ideas, so he didn't go far at all. Sure enough, if he didn't keep an eye on them, who knows what kind of earth-shattering things these people would do. At that time, Xiao Afan's situation would probably be even more difficult!
As usual, Yang Jinfan rode his horse along the central avenue to court. The sky was beginning to lighten, and most wealthy families had already gotten up to eat breakfast by this time, but the streets were deserted.

She scoffed. Yesterday's incident had caused a huge uproar in the capital, and even ordinary people knew to avoid offending her. She wondered how those opportunists in the court would shamelessly gossip about her.

"Your Highness, wait for me! Your Highness, there's a steamed bun shop in the West District with tender and delicious meat filling and perfectly chewy dough. Please try it! I had my servants line up early to buy some, and it took a lot of effort. They're still warm!"

Qi Lang, grinning, caught up with Yang Jinfan, carrying two bags of oil paper. He didn't care at all about the strange looks coming from all around. He stuffed one of the bags into her hands and then opened his own and began to eat heartily.

The steaming hot buns filled the air with their aroma, causing a chorus of soft, swallowing sounds to rise and fall around them. Though faint, Yang Jinfan heard them clearly.

Yang Jinfan casually glanced at him, and the prying eyes all retreated. Looking at Qi Lang again, they wondered if this silly boy had gone mad.

Everyone else avoided her like the plague, but he, contrary to his usual behavior, came over and even brought her a bag of steamed buns—

I must say, it actually smells really good!
She looked at Qi Lang questioningly, but he avoided answering, only gesturing for her to eat quickly.

That's true, what difference does it make whether we avoid it or not?
Whether openly or secretly, they're already in the same boat, so they might as well openly enjoy this delicious breakfast together!
Just as he took a bite, another voice came from not far away: "Your Highness, Your Highness! The Madam has sent me to bring you breakfast!"

Fan Zizheng staggered over carrying two huge food boxes. Qi Lang was so surprised that he hadn't even swallowed his steamed bun yet, so he quickly ran over to help him take one of the food boxes.

"Lord Fan, you are very kind, but His Highness can't possibly finish all of these. I also brought a portion of steamed buns for His Highness, and I have one here as well. Please have a taste, my lord. The Chen family's cooking in the west of the city is delicious!"

Fan Zizheng put down the food box, thanked him, and naturally took the bun and took a bite: "Oh, it really is that family's cooking! That family's food is hard to buy, you have to wait in line for a long time! Lord Qi, please come and try my wife's cooking. His Highness really can't finish so much, so my wife asked me to bring some for you."

"There's one for me too?! When you get home from court, you must thank your sister-in-law for me. I won't be polite then!" Qi Lang excitedly rubbed his hands together and lifted the lid of the food box. The sealed aroma wafted out, making people's mouths water. The exquisite pastries were piled up like a small mountain, neat and beautiful. Yang Jinfan also stepped forward and tasted a piece.

"Wow, this is so delicious! Sister, you're so kind, these are all my favorite foods! Lord Fan, you must bring your family to my residence another day, so we can have a meal together!"

"Excellent! Your Highness's culinary skills are unmatched. This humble official is in for a treat!"

"Your Highness, I want to go too! I want to go too!"

"Okay, everyone come on in!"

"..."

The three of them ate, drank, and chatted as if no one else was around. The ministers who passed by had different expressions, mostly disdain, but also quite a few envy.

The morning court session was long, and the discussions of national affairs were solemn and dignified. No one was allowed to leave without special circumstances. In order to avoid needing to relieve themselves, they had to attend the court on an empty stomach. They could not lose their composure in front of the palace and displease the emperor. Everyone came with empty stomachs, and they could smell the aroma from afar. Even the most self-controlled person could not help but take a second look and swallow their saliva.

As Lu Qianhong passed by, he silently bowed to Yang Jinfan. As a subject, he could not neglect the proper etiquette, and there was no need for excessive interaction. Although he was also quite tempted by the pastries, he restrained himself due to his status.

As a veteran official in the court, he was used to the intrigue and deceit, so he particularly appreciated the youthful spirit. If she hadn't done those shocking things, it would have been a good thing to take her under his wing.

I heard that the Princess is also a very good cook. Everyone in the capital who has tasted the banquets at the Princess's residence has praised them highly. Although the Lu family has a long history of serving as officials, they do not often associate with anyone. Since they were unable to attend the banquet, they missed the opportunity to taste the food.

Lu Sheng followed behind his father, frequently glancing at the three of them. As the head of the Lu family, he was always composed and self-controlled. How infuriating that he would be tempted by those pastries that only children like.

"Oh, Your Highness! This old minister hasn't had breakfast yet either. May I have a taste?"

The old man with a white beard and a youthful face looked much younger than his age. His eyes were bright as he stared at the pretty pastries. He silently took out chopsticks from his pocket, and through everyone's gaze, he precisely picked up a pastry, quickly put it back, and tasted it.

Oh my god, this is delicious!
What was he eating before? This is what human food is supposed to be!

"Brother!"

The younger man who was running up behind him quickly pulled him back from the food box, stamping his foot in exasperation, his words barely audible.

"Those are the Princess's things, and they haven't even given you permission to take them! How could you... oh dear!"

Seeing that a piece of pastry had been completely stuffed into his mouth, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He turned to apologize to Yang Jinfan: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. It was my fault for not stopping him. He took your things without your permission. I will definitely bring him to apologize to you after court!"

Yang Jinfan then snapped out of his daze from the old man's series of actions and said with a smile, "Lord Tang, you flatter me. It's just a pastry. Please try my sister's cooking. If you're not satisfied, there's more."

Upon hearing that there was more, the old man, still savoring the memory, naturally extended both hands, "Thank you!"

Qi Lang and Fan Zizheng were dumbfounded, so they quickly opened the other food boxes, took out pastries, and handed them to him.

“Brother!!!”

Tang Shiwen was about to explode. Who could control this old glutton?
"Lord Tang, who is this gentleman?"

Four thousand today, done!
