I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Xuan Moyuan seemed to sense something and felt a slight guilty feeling. He quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention.

Before anyone could get around, he eagerly brought his head close to his phone, his slender fingers moving with unusual gentleness and slowness just before touching the voice message.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet and slightly playful female voice clearly entered his ears through the phone:

"Hehe, I highly recommend that you, Lord Wang, bravely try the spicy hot pot!"

After all, spiciness is the soul of hot pot. We believe in brave King Wang, fearless in the face of difficulties, and we're rooting for you!

Xuan Moyuan's lips curled up slightly as he tried to ignore the two unpleasant "Lord Wang"s in the soft voice. The rest of the words were like a gentle spring breeze, deeply imprinted in his unforgettable memory.

Then, he obediently followed Miss Bai's careful instructions, specially selected a bag of spicy base sauce and put it into the pot, quietly waiting for the pot to boil.

At the same time, Xuan Moyuan's inner excitement, like the bubbling broth of a spicy hot pot about to boil, was gradually rising in temperature...

Suddenly, his focused thoughts were interrupted by a loud, excited voice from outside the hall. Just from that familiar voice, he knew who it was.

"I'm here, Your Majesty!"

Good heavens, how can my royal brother be treated to such a lavish meal? We can even have hot pot!

"Did my sister Bai send all of these?"

Xuan Wanling's voice arrived before she did.

Seeing the sumptuous hot pot feast on the table from afar, her eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

Seeing her elder brother, seated in the highest position, watching her, she quickly began to praise him:

"Waaah, my brother is so kind. Even with such delicious food in front of him, he's still thinking of Wanling..."

Xuan Wanling, who lived closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, immediately rushed over like a gust of wind upon hearing that her elder brother had invited her to have hot pot together, forgetting all her frustration at losing her mobile game.

She secretly glanced at her brother and noticed that his face seemed gentler than usual, but she assumed she was mistaken and didn't ask any further questions.

Immediately, her mind, like that of a little glutton, was completely drawn to the huge hot pot in the center, which emitted an enticing aroma.

"Yes, Miss Bai specially delivered it, and she specifically asked you to come, saying that it was a new arrival today..."

Upon hearing her elder brother's words, Xuan Wanling, who had been praising him just a moment ago, immediately changed her tune:

"Wow~ My sister Bai loves me the most! She was already thinking of me as soon as I left~"

Looking at this heartless little fool, Xuan Moyuan chuckled inwardly. She probably still didn't know that her true identity had already been seen through...

He found the matter quite amusing, but simply chuckled to himself without pointing it out.

As for what followed, he silently and secretly noted down the revelations that Wanling kept coming out of her mouth.

A little while later, Xuan Yuchen, who had just finished reading in the Imperial Study, was starving when he was spotted by the eunuch who had come looking for him, and was brought over.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, before even raising his head, he respectfully bowed to his elder brother, the Emperor, and then asked curiously:

"Royal brother, royal sister, what have you been busy with lately? Chen'er feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you..."

The Fourth Prince, Xuan Yuchen, is the youngest but has always been well-behaved and sensible. He has admired his second brother, Xuan Moyuan, since childhood.

He practically grew up following in his second brother's footsteps, taking pride in his brother and vowing to emulate him, demanding high standards of himself.

Since his second brother ascended the throne, the sensible youngest brother has been eager to share the burden with his elder brother.

Seeing his elder brother working tirelessly day and night for the country, he became even more diligent and hardworking, often spending the entire day in the Imperial Study, burying himself in the classics...

He has been diligently studying lately and rarely appears in public, so he is naturally unaware of the earth-shaking changes that have taken place outside the palace due to the emergence of the "Fairyland".

Xuan Yuchen was overjoyed to be summoned by his elder brother, the Emperor.

Finally, an extremely rich and stimulating aroma wafted into his nostrils, so strong that he instinctively took a deep breath, his nose twitching as he began to search for the source of the fragrance.

When he shifted his gaze from his elder brother to the table...

A table laden with a variety of dishes he had never seen before came into view, leaving him dazzled and stunned. Xuan Yuchen stood there dumbfounded.

"This... Your Majesty, what kind of food is this? Why is it all raw?"

Does this mean...we're going to eat it raw?

Looking at the plates of bright red meat, which still seemed to have traces of blood, the usually timid Xuan Yuchen shook his head in fright.

Good heavens, why did my royal brother invite me here?

Could it be that this was all so I could eat all this fresh meat?!

But the fourth brother, who usually puts on a composed demeanor despite his young age, was now so frightened by the uncooked ingredients on the table that he kept backing away...

Seeing this, Xuan Wanling couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

This is how the fourth brother should be at his age. He tried to imitate the emperor's composed demeanor, but he didn't quite get it right. It was really funny.

"Yuchen, hurry up and sit next to the Empress. Today, thanks to the Emperor, we are fortunate enough to taste this unique 'Fairyland' hot pot."

"Your elder sister will tell you all about it in a little while, and then teach you how to eat it step by step~"

Xuan Wanling warmly invited her fourth brother to sit down.

Seemingly remembering something, Xuan Wanling turned to the Emperor and curiously inquired about something:

"By the way, Your Majesty, Wanling was just thinking of going to find Father and Mother and recommending [Fairyland] to them. I'm sure they'll be interested."

Then I'll take the opportunity to invite my father and mother to come with me to the [Fairyland] tomorrow, and I'll show them around!

She blurted out her plans all at once, then her face fell, looking rather helpless.

Who could have predicted that plans would always fall short of expectations...?

Xuan Wanling sighed softly, and continued with a hint of helplessness:

"But when I arrived at Chang'an Palace, I was told by Granny Feng, who served my mother, that my father and mother had taken another spontaneous trip..."

"Alas, it's a pity they don't have cell phones. Who knows when we'll be able to contact them again..."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuchen, who had been sitting obediently to the side, widened his large, dark eyes instantly and echoed in agreement:

"Ah? Does Your Highness know about this? Chen'er guesses that perhaps Father and Mother were afraid that if they told Your Highness, he would arrange for people to follow them. They didn't want to be followed, so they left quietly..."

The two started guessing back and forth, but Xuan Moyuan, who had already started putting vegetables into the boiling spicy hot pot, remained completely indifferent.

"I already knew about this matter, otherwise why wouldn't I have invited Father and Mother to join this hot pot feast?"

Xuan Moyuan glossed over the matter with just a few words; naturally, he wouldn't mention that it was he who secretly instigated his father and mother's trip...

Since his father mentioned wanting to take his mother to enjoy some delicious food, he naturally recommended [Fairyland].

I also told my father that just a few steps outside the palace, you can take the underground high-speed rail directly there.

Anyway, he plans to go there in a couple of days, and he'll find a way to reach the two elders then.

Moreover, according to Wang Fantong and others who had been to the "Fairyland," this trip was extremely safe in any area related to the Fairyland.

Therefore, he finally granted his father and mother's wish to travel alone.

He simply instructed them to ask more questions and inquire more, and if they encountered any problems, to go to the local government office and ask the county magistrate for help.

He was absolutely certain that, given his father and mother's inherently gluttonous and playful nature, once they stepped into the [Fairyland], they would be deeply attracted to it and linger there, reluctant to leave.

Perhaps once they truly experience the wonders of this "fairyland," they'll develop a desire to stay there and never return to the palace...

When Xuan Molin rushed over from the Prince's residence, the four royal siblings—each perfectly inheriting their father and mother's foodie genes—

Finally, they sat down together to share this hard-won hot pot feast that had traveled thousands of miles to prepare!

The four siblings hadn't raised a glass in celebration for a long time. Now, they chatted casually around a steaming hot pot, savoring its exquisite flavor...

Meanwhile, the officials in the main hall, lacking the emperor's imposing presence, ate to their hearts' content, thoroughly enjoying themselves!

Lord Wang thoughtfully ordered iced drinks for everyone and invited them to raise their glasses and enjoy the drinks together.

Since I have finished this hotpot meal, I should repay the kindness of the [Fairyland] for the banquet. When I get back, I will definitely take care of the matter that Miss Bai asked me to do properly.

Otherwise, they'd have to have a case of ice-cold beer and drink it to their heart's content with the hot pot until they're completely satisfied!
