Litchi Spicy Grilled Fish Delivery?

Noble Consort Yang’s eyes lit up.

Didn’t I just pray for some delicious litchi food?

Could it be that my prayer has come true?

Li Longji was just about to order Ye Chen to be captured when Noble Consort Yang quickly stopped him.

“Emperor, this person is someone I summoned.”

“Beloved Consort, you summoned him?”

Before Noble Consort Yang could answer, Ye Chen nodded and said, “That’s right, I’ve come to deliver food to the consort.”

Saying this, Ye Chen presented the takeout with both hands.

Li Longji signaled his men to take the takeout box and carefully opened it.

Looking at the contents inside, what on earth are these things.

Noble Consort Yang expected to see delicious food when the box was opened, but didn’t expect these things inside.

This is ancient times; they have never seen such things. A few of them looked at it for a long time without understanding.

Noble Consort Yang frowned, looking at the shiny box with a disappointed face.

“Impudent commoner, how dare you fool me, drag him out and execute him,” Li Longji declared furiously.

The guards trembled in fear, knowing someone would suffer for angering the Emperor.

“Let me finish speaking first, then it’s not too late to execute me,” Ye Chen, held by guards, quickly said.

He didn’t want to lose his life over a food delivery.

Noble Consort Yang also urgently said, “Yes, Your Majesty, don’t kill him yet, listen to what he has to say. If he’s lying, it’s not too late to kill him then.”

Seeing his beloved consort pleading, Li Longji had no choice but to relent.

He ordered the guards to bring Ye Chen forward, still keeping a distance between them.

After all, Ye Chen was dressed strangely; he might be an assassin from a rival country.

Even so, his guards could deal with this odd person before he acted.

That was something he wasn’t worried about at all.

Ye Chen wore a displeased expression, thinking, I kindly brought you a delivery, and you treat me like this.

“Emperor, if you’re going to treat me like this, I’d rather be executed,” Ye Chen said, also getting angry.

“Very well, take him away and execute him,” Li Longji commanded.

Ye Chen’s words were clearly a challenge to his imperial authority, utterly angering him.

Before the guards could take Ye Chen away, Noble Consort Yang playfully complained, “Your Majesty, why are you so impatient? I know you must have a new love and don’t care about my life, even though I haven’t eaten in days, right?”

Just moments ago, hearing the words “Litchi Spicy Grilled Fish” piqued his curiosity.

Li Longji quickly said, “Fine, fine, bring this troublesome commoner over and step back. If he makes any suspicious move, protect the Emperor immediately.”

He then looked at Noble Consort Yang and said, “Beloved Consort, are you satisfied now?”

After all, Noble Consort Yang was his most beloved consort; how could he let her be unhappy?

Ye Chen had calculated this, so he wasn’t at all worried about losing his head.

Led by the guards, Ye Chen stepped forward.

He followed the instructions, unfolding the tin foil box, setting it on the iron frame, and lighting the alcohol lamp.

Upon seeing the litchis in the box, Noble Consort Yang was overjoyed. The aroma wafting from the box made her mouth water.

These days, Noble Consort Yang had been in low spirits, deeply worrying Li Longji.

All his efforts were unsuccessful in making her smile.

Now, seeing his beloved consort’s smile return, Li Longji was also elated.

After testing for poison with a silver needle, Noble Consort Yang was about to take some fish.

“Please wait, Consort. This grilled fish needs to be heated for a bit. The taste will be better,” Ye Chen quickly stopped her.

Noble Consort Yang obediently put down her chopsticks; the wait was excruciating for her.

As the broth in the foil box bubbled, the aroma filled the air.

Noble Consort Yang suddenly felt her appetite return, eager to take a bite.

This time Ye Chen did not stop her.

Noble Consort Yang ate bite after bite, unable to put down her chopsticks.

It was the most delicious food she had ever eaten, and it was made with litchi.

Seeing his beloved consort so happy, Li Longji also took his chopsticks and tasted a bite.

The fish flesh, accompanied by the broth, burst onto his palate.

“Marvelous, marvelous, this truly is a delicacy!” Li Longji complimented with a smile.

Watching Noble Consort Yang eating so joyfully, he took only a small bite.

It’s known that she hadn’t eaten for many days and had become quite thin.

Now was the perfect time for her to eat well.

“Your Majesty, this fish is truly delicious,” Noble Consort Yang said with a smile.

Now, only fish bones were left in the box.

In reality, during Noble Consort Yang’s meal, the palace maids and guards were all swallowing their saliva.

The aroma was just too tempting, continuously wafting to their noses.

Watching Noble Consort Yang eat while they were only able to watch was pure torture.

“I will reward you handsomely, with ten thousand gold taels and a hundred acres of fertile land,” Li Longji said with a smile.

Ye Chen wasn’t interested in gold, but a hundred acres of fertile land was good.

As he pondered this, Noble Consort Yang smiled and said, “I also have a reward for you.”

Ye Chen wondered what the Imperial Consort could reward him with.

Perhaps noticing Ye Chen’s puzzled expression, Noble Consort Yang smiled and said, “I will reward you with a Beauty Pill. It has the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating.”

Although Ye Chen wasn’t particularly interested in the reward, he thought since it was free, there’s no reason not to accept it.

Just then, a voice echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.

[Your delivery has been completed. The wormhole will open in three minutes. Please find a secluded place to return to the real world.]

Ye Chen said, “Emperor, Consort, I have other things to attend to. I hope we can meet again next time.”

Though he said this, Ye Chen knew it would be difficult to meet again since the system matches clients randomly, and who knows who he’ll meet next time?

As Ye Chen rode away on an unknown contraption, leaving the Imperial Palace, Li Longji, and the others remained bewildered.

This time, Ye Chen had truly met the real Emperor; the experience was completely different from watching it on TV.

In front of him, Li Longji exuded an imperial aura, giving an intimidating presence.

Ye Chen rode his electric scooter to a secluded alley.

The wormhole opened, and Ye Chen crossed through.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen returned to the real world through the wormhole, thankfully with no one around to witness it and be startled.

He walked back to the VIP section, sitting beside Song Xiaoxiao.

By this time, the annual meeting was nearing its end.

When the event ended, the organizers and director rushed to Ye Chen to stop him.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Chen asked.

“Boss Ye, we apologize again for what happened earlier,” they said.

Seeing the scene, Song Xiaoxiao asked with a puzzled look.

“Why are you all so respectful to Ye Chen?”
