The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao nodded slightly and continued, "Father, my two elder brothers, my fourth brother, and my eldest brother-in-law, please come with me into this mysterious space! The flow of time inside is different from the outside world; it's much faster. This will give me ample time to explain its wonders to you all in detail." As she spoke softly, she tightly grasped Ouyang Han's hand, then turned to the others with a smile and shouted, "Come on, everyone, hold hands one after another!" Hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically, quickly extending their hands and clasping them tightly. In no time, everyone was like a long dragon, hand in hand, forming a continuous line. She silently chanted "Go in," and soon everyone disappeared from the spot.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the scene before them, the surrounding environment suddenly underwent a dramatic change! Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment as they looked around. The previously dim space instantly became exceptionally bright, as if countless rays of light were shining from all directions, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.

After everyone's eyes gradually adjusted to the dazzling light, an enormous shop suddenly appeared before them. The shop towered high, its imposing presence and sheer size astonishing. Above the entrance hung a huge signboard with the words "Sunshine Supermarket" written in bold, elegant strokes. The group exchanged bewildered glances, secretly wondering, "Could this be... the magical supermarket my sister-in-law (or third sister-in-law) spoke of?" This thought filled them with curiosity and anticipation for this mysterious place.

Chen Mengyao walked lightly ahead, like a butterfly fluttering in the air, enthusiastically introducing the interior to the group behind her. Following her, the emperor and his entourage looked around curiously. Before them stood rows of tall, orderly shelves, like silent giants, seemingly holding countless mysterious treasures waiting to be discovered. On these shelves, a dazzling array of goods were displayed, many of which were novelties they had never heard of or seen before. The shelves closest to the entrance were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. Bright red apples were piled high, each one plump and round; vibrant green lettuce leaves unfurled like delicate little fans; and the purple grapes, each one crystal clear, resembled strings of purple jewels.

The adjacent shelves were filled with various daily necessities. Snow-white toilet paper was neatly arranged, and different brands of shampoo were arranged by size, the bottles gleaming enticingly. Further in, the snack shelf came into view. The brightly colored packaging was dazzling; potato chip bags were bulging, emitting an enticing aroma; colorful candies were packaged in transparent jars, as vibrant as a rainbow.

The beverage section was equally vibrant. Soda bubbles rose from clear glass bottles, as if fairies were dancing inside; the juices displayed a dazzling array of colors—orange-yellow orange juice, crimson grape juice—enough to make one's mouth water. The visitors stared in astonishment, exclaiming in amazement. All of this filled the newcomers with wonder and excitement, as if they had stepped into a fantastical world full of unknowns and surprises.

Chen Mengyao stood in front of the long shelf, smiling as she introduced the dazzling array of goods to the emperor and his entourage. Among them were mouthwatering delicacies and a variety of daily necessities.

The emperor and his entourage stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment, as if they had entered a completely new and wondrous world. Like curious children, they reached out to touch the unfamiliar objects, exclaiming in amazement from time to time. At the same time, all sorts of strange and unusual questions kept popping out of their mouths: "What is this?", "What is that used for?"... Faced with these endless questions, Chen Mengyao remained patient, answering them one by one in detail.

Whenever Chen Mengyao spotted something particularly tempting, she would gently remove it and carefully place it in the shopping cart. Not only that, but if someone showed great interest in an item and expressed a desire to own it, Chen Mengyao would also unhesitatingly take it down and hand it to them. Before long, the first shopping cart was already overflowing. However, everyone's enthusiasm remained high, showing no sign of stopping.

Seeing this, the considerate Chen Mengyao simply let them push their shopping carts and choose what they wanted. Hearing this, everyone cheered and rushed to their carts. For the next while, they weaved between the shelves, grabbing anything new or unfamiliar they'd never seen or used before. In no time, everyone's carts were full, but even so, they seemed unsatisfied, pausing briefly before turning around to find new carts to continue loading. This continued until no more carts were available, and the shopping spree could hold any more items, finally bringing this frenzied shopping journey to a temporary end. Even so, everyone's face was still beaming with excitement and satisfaction; clearly, this unique experience had brought them immense joy.

Chen Mengyao closed her eyes slightly, concentrated her mind, and used her powerful mental energy to establish a mysterious connection with the supermarket's warehouse. In the blink of an eye, huge boxes, as if by magic, slowly floated out from the depths of the warehouse. These boxes were neatly arranged in front of everyone, as if waiting to be filled.

"Alright, everyone, quickly pack the items you just picked into these boxes!" Chen Mengyao opened her eyes and said with a smile to the people around her. Her relaxed and natural demeanor made everyone marvel at her amazing ability.

After they had packed everything, Chen Mengyao led everyone to their next destination—the seed warehouse. Upon entering, they were immediately struck by the dazzling array of seeds before them. The shelves were neatly arranged with all kinds of seeds: plump grain seeds, colorful flower seeds, and rare and unique herbal seeds, each seemingly telling its own unique story and value. Chen Mengyao explained that the high-yield grain seeds came from here.

Next, the group arrived at the cold storage warehouse. As soon as they pushed open the door, a blast of bone-chilling cold air hit them. The vast space was filled with enormous freezers, containing all sorts of frozen foods, from fresh meat and seafood to delicate desserts and snacks. These foods, preserved in their low temperature, retained their original color and flavor, making them incredibly tempting.

After leaving the cold storage warehouse, everyone entered the machinery warehouse. It was filled with all sorts of mechanical equipment, from heavy-duty cranes to precision instruments, each tool gleaming with the unique luster of metal. These machines were not only diverse in type but also varied in function, meeting the needs of different work scenarios.

Next, the group arrived at the electronics warehouse. Here, a dazzling array of high-tech products was on display. From state-of-the-art smartphones and tablets to high-performance computer mainframes and servers, and smart wearable devices, everything was available. These electronic products represented the forefront of today's technological development, allowing people to fully experience the convenience and surprises brought by technological innovation.

Then Chen Mengyao led them into the weapons depot. The depot was filled with a mysterious and imposing atmosphere; the walls were covered with various firearms and ammunition, as well as gleaming swords and other cold weapons. These weapons were either brand new and shiny, or weathered and worn, but all exuded formidable destructive power.

Everyone was shocked when they saw so many novel weapons, especially when Chen Mengyao explained the power of the guns and bombs. The emperor and the crown prince hurriedly asked, "Yao'er, can these weapons be provided to the army? With these weapons, the army will no longer have to fear other countries."

Chen Mengyao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Regarding firearms, I think we can equip that special forces unit with a suitable number. After all, the missions this unit undertakes are usually extremely critical and dangerous, and having strong firepower support can increase their success rate. However, every member of this team must undergo rigorous screening and vetting to ensure their loyalty is 100%. Because if even one person is bribed by the enemy to become a spy, our weapons secrets could be leaked, which would bring immeasurable and significant losses to Dongling Kingdom."

As for other ordinary soldiers, it's best not to issue them firearms for now. I do have some extremely sturdy melee weapons available as alternatives. While these weapons may be slightly inferior in range and lethality, they are simple to operate, easy to master, and can meet the needs of general combat scenarios. Of course, large-scale equipping with firearms is not impossible, but a crucial issue must be addressed first—how to prevent spies from leaking the technology or physical prototypes of these advanced weapons to other countries? If this were to happen, not only would our own national security be severely threatened, but our own soldiers would also face enormous risks on the battlefield.

However, producing a sufficient quantity of high-quality firearms and ammunition is not difficult. The key is to carefully select trustworthy craftsmen and workers to participate in the manufacturing process. Only in this way can the secrecy and security of the entire manufacturing process be guaranteed to the greatest extent. After these weapons are successfully manufactured, they can be distributed to experienced and loyal generals for safekeeping. When actual combat is needed, these generals will distribute them to their soldiers according to the actual battle situation. After the battle ends and the soldiers return to camp, any surplus firearms and ammunition should be immediately collected and stored in a safe and secure place, avoiding prolonged possession of such weapons by individual soldiers to prevent accidents or leaks.

The Emperor, Crown Prince, and others were even more impressed by Chen Mengyao's thoughtful consideration. Chen Mengyao was truly an extraordinary woman; not only was she intelligent and kind, but she also acted with such meticulous care. If she were a man, she would surely have achieved great things. It was fortunate that their son (younger brother/third brother) had met such a woman; how lucky the royal family was to have such a daughter-in-law/sister-in-law! They must protect her well and treat her even better.
