Traveling through shopping malls, making a fortune by selling instant noodles

"Mother, aren't you going back with Jing'er, Xiaotang, and the others today? Then we can have as much as we want in Qingfeng Town!"

Emperor Huaiwen leaned over to Empress Dowager Rong's ear and whispered helplessly, this war that seemed to be between three people was actually Emperor Huaiwen's unilateral personal defense war.

He can't really commit treason and try to snatch the queen mother away, right?

Besides, I can’t beat her...

He was also reluctant to snatch the queen's, alas, so he could only watch them plunder.

"Oh, that's right! Then I must bring more with me. There will be so many people eating on the road, it won't be enough!

It's so cold outside, are you willing to let me, your Jing'er, and Xiaotang get hungry, cold, and tired on the road?"

Empress Dowager Rong pretended to cover her chest with one hand and wipe her tears with a handkerchief with the other, but then she remembered that she had to use one hand to protect the food, so she couldn't withdraw her hand. So she raised her face and stopped pretending, as if to say, "I won't give in, you can do whatever you want."

"Alright, alright, my royal brother, whatever you like to eat, we'll send someone to bring you some when we get back. We'll give you plenty, and I guarantee you'll eat until you're tired of it!"

Qiao Jingnian tried to appease Emperor Huaiwen who was about to explode. If he really angered him and he gave up being the emperor, he would probably suffer.

"Then hurry up!

I want this konjac jelly, this mustard-flavored summer fruit, these chicken feet, these soft-boiled eggs, and all these flavors of potato chips! And these sandwich cookies, and this...

Emperor Huaiwen knew them all like the back of his hand.

"stop!

Just tell me which of the snacks I brought today you're not interested in, and you don't need me to bring you more?"

Qiao Jingnian was speechless. He just watched his brother picking up the snacks one by one, as if he didn't intend to let go of any of them.

Emperor Huaiwen smiled slightly awkwardly, then carefully looked at the things in front of him, and also looked at the things in front of the Queen and the Queen Mother. After all, they had the kinds of things he had, but he might not have the kinds they had.

“Uh…there’s nothing I don’t love.”

Emperor Huaiwen was a little embarrassed at first, but then he thought that as a king, he should have the world in his heart, right?

He should cherish every blade of grass and flower in the world, let alone a spicy strip or a potato chip?

"Okay! Got it! Just wait patiently!"

Qiao Jingnian held his forehead and said helplessly.

For the first time, Emperor Huaiwen felt that being told "Just wait patiently for me" was so blissful.

After dividing up the snacks, it was time for the most important part of this trip to the palace - distributing mobile phones, one to each person.

“Isn’t this it?!!”

Emperor Huaiwen took a thin, flat brick that his younger brother casually handed over with both hands. He had seen this before!

Isn't that the "rooster" or "hen" he and Xiaotang talked about last time?!

"This is a cell phone. Take it. Xiaotang will teach you how to use it."

Qiao Jingnian said this after handing out cell phones to the three people in front of him.

Oh yes, this little thing is called a mobile phone!

Emperor Huaiwen was extremely glad that he had not said it directly just now.

"Royal brother, you! Are you okay with taking out so much?!"

Before Lin Yutang taught him, Emperor Huaiwen was still very worried. Although he wanted it very much, if this artifact was seen by others, it would cause an uproar.

"This phone is only owned by a few of us. You usually use it in your bedroom after dismissing the servants. Do you really want to play with your phone during the morning court?"

Qiao Jingnian knew what Emperor Huaiwen was worried about. The palace was no different from other places, and there could be spies everywhere. So he gave them a neck-hanging phone case to wear close to their bodies, so that they could just send everyone away when using it.

Moreover, each mobile phone has a password, so it is useless if someone steals it. It will be locked directly after trying several times.

"This is good, this is good!"

Emperor Huaiwen watched Qiao Jingnian put the phone in a soft case and gestured for them to wear it around their necks. Well, it would make them feel much safer this way.

Queen Mother Rong and the Empress don't understand what this thing in their hands is used for, and they have to send everyone away when they use it? Is it so mysterious?

Lin Yutang cleared his throat and the class began.
