Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, illuminating the imperial kitchen. Steam rose from the windows, filling the air with an enticing aroma. The head chef, Eunuch Wang, was directing a group of cooks, who were working tirelessly.

"Hurry up, all of you! Her Majesty the Empress is hosting a banquet this time, and there can't be any mistakes!" Eunuch Wang stood with his hands on his hips, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed an undeniable authority as he paced back and forth in the kitchen, checking the preparation of the dishes from time to time.

A young chef wiped the sweat from his brow and asked nervously, "Eunuch Wang, is the seasoning in this dish sufficient?" He carefully picked up a plate of food, his eyes filled with trepidation, his hands trembling slightly, afraid that his skills were not up to par.

Eunuch Wang leaned closer to smell it, took a small bite, nodded, and said, "Hmm, not bad. Keep it up. Every dish must be perfect." He narrowed his eyes slightly, a satisfied expression on his face, his eyes revealing his strict requirements for food.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Garden, Xiao Yanzi and Consort Ling were directing the eunuchs to set up the banquet venue.

"Hang that lantern higher, yes, right there." Little Swallow pointed excitedly to a high place, gesturing with her hands in the air, her eyes sparkling with joy, her cheeks slightly flushed from her busyness.

Consort Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the arrangement of the tables and chairs here is appropriate?" She tilted her head slightly, her eyes questioning, and her hands were gently folded in front of her, her posture elegant.

Little Swallow looked around and nodded, saying, "Hmm, that's good. Let's add more flowers around here to make the whole place even prettier." She walked to the flower bushes, squatted down, and picked out suitable flowers, her eyes filled with anticipation.

In the palace's training grounds, Lin Yuxuan was panting heavily from his training, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Yu Xuan, take a rest. Don't overwork yourself." Lin Yuhang handed Lin Yu Xuan a glass of water with concern in his eyes, holding the glass steadily in both hands.

Lin Yuxuan took the water, took a few big gulps, and said, panting, "Brother Yuhang, I want to practice quickly so that I can protect everyone next time we encounter danger." His eyes revealed a firm determination, his hands gripped the water cup tightly, and his face was full of determination.

Lin Yuhang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Good, it's good that you have this determination, but you can't rush martial arts training. You have to proceed step by step." He smiled, his eyes gentle, and patted Lin Yuxuan's shoulder lightly, his gesture affectionate.

Inside the prison, Suksaha heard the commotion outside and felt a deep sense of resentment.

"Hmph, they're celebrating outside while I'm stuck here." A flash of anger crossed his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, curled up in the corner, and his face was full of resentment.

The jailer sneered, "You deserve it. You shouldn't have done those bad things in the first place." The jailer crossed his arms, his eyes filled with contempt, leaned against the wall, and sneered.

In the long corridor of the palace, two palace maids, A and B, hurried past carrying a pile of colorful ribbons.

"Xiao Yi, what delicious food do you think there will be at this banquet?" The little palace maid A's eyes sparkled with curiosity, her hands tightly clutching the colorful ribbons, and her face beaming with excitement.

The young palace maid smiled and said, "They must all be delicious dishes carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen. There might even be some that we haven't tried before." Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

Inside the Imperial Study, Hongli's discussion with his ministers continued.

"Your Majesty, regarding the selection of personnel for the inspection agency, I recommend Minister Zhang, the Vice Minister of Rites. He is an upright man and meticulous in his work," a minister said, bowing and holding his official tablet in both hands. His eyes were full of trust, and he leaned forward slightly to express his sincerity.

Hongli nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes, Lord Zhang is indeed a suitable candidate, but this matter needs to be discussed further. We must select the most suitable person." His eyes revealed a cautious attitude, and he gently stroked his chin with both hands, lost in thought.

As the day of the banquet drew closer, a joyous atmosphere filled the palace. This banquet was not only to celebrate the suppression of the rebellion, but also to unite people and allow everyone to start afresh in joy, jointly welcoming the new changes in the palace and the court.
