On the day when the snack street opens, the event begins early in the morning with the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums and loud music at the entrance of the alley.

There were a lot of people gathered on the roadside to watch the fun. They knew that the snack shop was opened by the third princess and they were very curious about what kind of snack needed a street. However, the aroma inside attracted them deeply. It smelled good and it must taste good, so they rushed in.

At this time, a luxurious carriage came slowly, followed by many royal guards. It slowly stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the emperor and the concubine walked out.

Xi Lingxue invited the Emperor and Concubine Chen to come over yesterday, but the Emperor said he wanted to come today to watch the fun and also give the snack street free publicity.

Xi Lingxue hurriedly ordered Leng Shuo and others to protect the safety of the Emperor and the Concubine Chen at all times, and Fu Xin and his men followed closely behind.

"Your son pays homage to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress Dowager."

The onlookers knew it was the Emperor and the Concubine Chen, so they all knelt down and said, "Your Highness, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor."

"Long live the Empress Chen, long live the Empress Chen, long live the Empress Chen, long live the Empress Chen."

"Everyone, please stand up. Don't be so reserved. I'm here to eat some delicious snacks. Please feel free to do as you please."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Entering the alley, the water in the stream is crystal clear and flowing. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the river, with lanterns hanging on the trees. Leisure chairs and stone tables are installed under the trees for people to rest.

The willow trees swaying in the wind form a vivid picture; the sunlight shines on the river, and the flowing waves sparkle with dazzling light in the sun.

As soon as they walked into the snack street, they were greeted by an enticing aroma that made them salivate.

"Father, Mother, there are all kinds of snacks along the river, such as cakes and milk tea. Please sit here first. I will order someone to bring two portions of each for you to taste. There are too many people inside, so it's not convenient to go in."

"I want to taste your specialties today."

"Yuer, order someone to bring two servings of various special snacks."

"Yes."

Soon Chu Yue, Xiao Yun and others came over with various delicacies and filled the stone table, which made people hungry just by looking at them.

"Xue'er, what is this?"

"Father, this is the spicy hot pot that I just invented. It's delicious. Please try it. There are also roasted sweet potatoes, pan-fried buns, fried dumplings, and grilled skewers. They are all delicious."

The Emperor and the Concubine Chen were eating and chatting happily.

"Mm, it's delicious, even better than the food in the imperial kitchen."

"You only find it delicious when you eat it rarely, but you get sick of it if you eat it too often."

"I will often bring my beloved concubine out of the palace to eat here in the future."

"Your Majesty, you don't have that much time to come here. You can have someone take you to the palace. This will be safer."

"Food like this is only delicious when eaten right on the spot. It loses its flavor when it gets cold."

"Father, what do you want to eat next time? I will have someone come to the palace to make it for you. It is inconvenient and dangerous for you to leave the palace."

"Xue'er, you are thoughtful."

As long as the emperor and the concubine had eaten the snacks, many people would immediately line up to grab them. More and more people came. Xi Lingxue stood not far away, looking at the lively crowd, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

The Emperor and the Concubine praised the meal highly after eating it, and felt as if they had not had enough when they left. Xi Lingxue saw them off to the carriage and only returned to the snack street after watching the carriage go away.

"Senior sister, your father and mother are gone."

"Let's go, Father and Mother praised it for being delicious."

"If your father says it's delicious, that's our greatest success."

"Leng Shuo, order people to write on the door of each shop that the emperor and the concubine praised the meal highly."

"I obey my orders."

Lu Chen and Xue Lin walked over slowly, "Cousin, Brother Yi, when did you come back?"

"We just came into the city and heard that the snack street you opened is opening today, so we came to take a look."

“It smells so good.”

“It tastes better.”

"Yuer, take my cousin in for a walk."

Chu Yue's eyes have never left Lu Chen since he appeared, and she nodded repeatedly when she heard Xi Lingxue's words.

"Prince Lu, please..."

"Xue'er, let's go over and take a look."

"You go ahead!"

Xue Lin was about to follow him, but Xi Lingxue thought he was being tactless.

"Brother, I'll take you to find my cousin."

"Your cousin is here too."

He quickly touched his hair, dusted off his body, and said worriedly, "Is it inappropriate for me to meet your cousin after such a long journey?"

"It's not the first time you two have met, why do you have to shower and change clothes?"

"That…that's not good either."

"Are you going or not? When did you become so hesitant?"

"You do not understand."

"You're getting married soon, but you're still pretending to be polite in front of my cousin. Don't you worry that your behavior will be exposed after the wedding?"

"That's different. You don't have anyone you like. You don't understand."

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run? Besides, how do you know that I don't have someone I like?"

Xue Lin was surprised and said, "Third Princess, you have someone you like! Why haven't I heard your cousin mention it? She kept it a secret. Who is it? Tell me about it."

"It's a secret, you'll know it soon."

"Which nobleman can win your heart? His life will not be lived in vain."

"You make it sound like I'm otherworldly. I'm also a mortal, with emotions and desires."

"Do you have emotions? How come I didn't notice it?"

"By the time you find out, I'll be married."

"Are you getting married?"

"almost."

"I'm even more curious about who he is."

At this time, the Sixth Prince and Xiao Fan came over, "Royal sister, Young Marquis Xue is polite."

"Is it tasty?"

“Everything is delicious.”

"Digest the food and continue eating."

"Royal sister, let's go to the river for a walk."

"Go!"

When Xue Lin thought about meeting Xiao Yan soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Brother, did you gain anything from this trip?"

"I have invited several respected teachers, and I have also received a business order for your jade."

"What kind of business do you want to take?"

"Shopkeeper Wu of Yanzhou Linglong Pavilion wants to buy a batch of jade articles from you. He said the price is right and he will buy from you in the future. You must deliver the goods to your door."

"That's no problem. It's convenient to use our own fleet to deliver goods."

"When you and your cousin get married, you must give them a big gift."

"One gift is not enough. I am your sworn brother and she is your biological cousin. At least two gifts should be given."

"You must have two. I have even prepared gifts for your children. I hope you will have a baby soon."

"This seems a bit too fast. We should wait until we get married before having a baby. We should take it one step at a time and not mess up the steps."

"You will be married in more than 20 days. Are you ready?"

"I have to be prepared, otherwise how can I be worthy of Yan'er?"

"Oh my, my dear, you are calling me so affectionately before we even get married. Do you think it's cheesy?"

“I think that’s a good name.”

Xi Lingxue and Xue Lin talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the shop where Xiao Yan was.

"cousin……"

Xiaoyan was sorting out the accounts. When she saw them coming, she greeted them with a smile.

"Cousin, you talk to my brother, I'll go check out other shops."

Xilingxue ran away quickly. She didn't want to be a light bulb.

Xue Lin looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of tenderness, "Did you have a hard time during my absence? You have lost weight."

Xiao Yan said shyly: "It's not hard, and I haven't lost weight. It's messy here, go out and wait for me."

"it is good."

The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

While Chu Yue was introducing the taste of the snacks to Lu Chen, she would secretly glance at him from time to time and dance with joy.

Lu Chen was also very gentlemanly. He sat beside her, listening to her endless introduction and eating the delicious food without feeling bored.

"Prince Lu, how do you like the taste?"

"Yes, it's novel and delicious."

"As long as you like it."

"Third Princess, how have you been doing recently?"

"Sister, that's great. It won't be long before you get married to Senior Brother."

Lu Chen's face changed instantly, "What? Married, who told you that?"

"The letter from Zheng State has been delivered to the emperor. The emperor asked for my sister's consent. My sister and my senior brother are in love with each other. Soon, my senior brother will come to Wei in person to greet her."

Chu Yue saw that Lu Chen's face had changed, and asked carefully, "Why are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy, I just think it happened too suddenly."

Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! I'm glad you're not unhappy."

After noon, many shops had run out of ingredients, and those who came later didn’t get to eat their favorite snacks, which made them feel a little regretful.

The next day, the emperor sent someone to deliver a plaque. The four large characters "Exquisite Delicacies" were particularly eye-catching. Xi Lingxue ordered people to hang it in the first shop. Since then, the business of the snack street has become even more prosperous.

On this day, Xi Lingxue and Chu Yue were discussing the expansion of the snack street when they suddenly received an invitation letter. The letter mentioned that a grand food competition would be held in Daliang City, and top chefs from all over the country would participate.

Xi Lingxue was filled with longing and decided to lead the team to participate in this competition.

They prepare meticulously and constantly try new recipes in the hope of standing out from the competition.

The day of the competition finally arrived, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. Xi Lingxue nervously watched the judges taste their works, her heart full of anticipation.

In the end, when the host announced that Xi Lingxue's team won the championship, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Their efforts were recognized, and the snack street's reputation was further enhanced.
