That Dark Patch of Yours Is No Problem

Before half an hour had passed, Zheng Xing'an walked in from outside and said, "Miss, our dishes have arrived."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Come in!"

The old eunuch pointed at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"How did you do that? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

It would take at least an hour to get from here to Great Xia; even at top speed, it wouldn't be that fast.

It's something most people simply can't do.

But she's no ordinary person!

She was accompanied by dozens of trees, and inside these treehouses were lots of food.

These trees can also be used as cooks; their skill level is now no less than that of a professional chef.

Just because others can't do something doesn't mean they can't.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Let's serve the food!"

Then the meal ordered by the Crown Prince arrived, with dozens of dishes laid out to the Manman.

The prince paid no heed to anything else and began to feast, while his maids kept peeling lobsters for him.

The prince ate while saying, "Delicious! This lobster is really delicious. At first, I was hesitant to eat it, but the more I ate, the more addicted I became."

This prince is a real glutton; he's only about ten years old! He's at the age where he's growing, so he has a particularly good appetite.

Zhou Wanwan pointed to the milk tea next to her and said, "Try this."

The prince took a sip, his eyes lighting up. "Ah! It's really delicious! It has a subtle milky aroma, much better than milk tea."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Of course, and try some of these fruits too."

The prince tasted it and said:

"Sweet, sweet but not cloying. I have many in my yard, but none of them can compare to yours."

Why is your variety so sweet?

Zhou Wanwan said, "Of course, it's because the variety is good."

The third princess, standing nearby, said sarcastically, "Tch, it's just so-so to me."

Zhou Wanwan couldn't be bothered with her. A princess of a great country acting so petty over a thousand taels of silver—that's really something.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the old eunuch beside her and said, "Eunuch, when are you going to give me what I have in my hand?"

The old eunuch forced a smile and said, "We were just telling a joke, weren't we?"

Zhou Wanwan held up the contract in her hand and said:

"What joke? I didn't tell you any jokes."

If you don't give it to me, I'll take this to the authorities, and don't blame me then."

"Alright, then take these things to the government office!" The old eunuch wasn't afraid of her.

The prince, standing nearby, glared coldly at the old eunuch and said, "Give her the thing. A bet is a bet, don't you understand that principle?"

The old eunuch looked aggrieved, but still handed the item to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan gestured for Zheng Xing'an to take it before continuing, "This kind of takeout is just ordinary. We have many other takeout options where we live, but they are a bit more expensive."

The prince was stunned when he finished eating. "Is there anything more delicious than these?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Of course, this is nothing."

After finishing his meal, the Crown Prince, still wanting more, looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"The things there are indeed different from those here."

I think the garlic lobster is especially delicious, and the seafood medley in a mixed sauce is also quite good.

Do you have any other takeout orders?

Zhou Wanwan nodded, took out the takeout order, and said:

"Yes, these are all seafood. If you'd like to eat them, you can place your order now."

These seafood dishes take a little longer to be served, since they're fresh, caught right from the sea.

The third princess rolled her eyes and said, "You're just spouting nonsense. Do you really believe that all this seafood is fresh?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Our seafood is indeed all fresh, there's no doubt about that."

She didn't want to argue with the Third Princess, so she looked at the Crown Prince and said, "Our family not only has seafood, but also all kinds of snacks, pastries, fruits, drinks, fine wines, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, medicinal herbs, books, antiques, and paintings..."

The third princess rolled her eyes and said:

Why don't you just say you have everything at home?

"To dare to boast so much at such a young age, they really don't know their own limitations."

The second princess took a sip of milk tea and said:

"Third sister, don't get excited! Little girl, I heard that there's a place called Hundred Grasses Hall where you live that produces all sorts of expensive cosmetics."

I heard it can even remove freckles on the face. Do you think it can remove these dark spots on my face?

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Second Princess and said, "The dark spots on your face aren't real dark spots, but rather formed from toxins."

The Third Princess glared at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Nonsense! What poison? Second Sister has had these spots on her face since she was little."

"It was something you were born with. Someone must have poisoned your mother, which caused this dark spot on your face."

The second princess looked at Zhou Wanwan in shock and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "I can tell. I have medical skills, so your dark spots aren't a problem, but the price is quite high."

The second princess asked eagerly, "How much?"

"100,000 taels."

The third princess hissed and said, "So expensive? Are you robbing me?"

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said:

"No, is your Great Qi royal family really that poor? Why do you keep saying things like that?"

Do you know how difficult it is to treat her face? Otherwise, the imperial physician would have cured her long ago.

The second princess looked at the third princess coldly and said, "Shut up!"

The second princess took Zhou Wanwan's hand and said:

"100,000 taels of silver is nothing to me."

"If you can cure my illness, I'll reward you with some gold and silver jewelry. What do you say?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the inner room then!"

The second princess looked at her in surprise and said, "Shall we treat him now?"

"Or what?"

Zhou Wanwan entered the second princess's room, and sure enough, the princess's room was different, magnificent and luxurious.

The Third Princess looked at her and said:

"You country bumpkin in the city, you've never seen a room like this before!"

"That's true, a little girl from the countryside, where would she have ever seen such a scene?"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Noisy."

The second princess looked at the third princess and said, "Third sister, you should go out!"

The third princess tugged at the second princess's sleeve and said, "Second sister, are you abandoning me? Are you trying to send me away because of her?"

The second princess said helplessly, "They came to treat my illness, it's inconvenient for you to be here."

"No! I just want to watch her treat the illness here. I'm also afraid she might do something bad to you."

"I'm telling you, don't believe her. I think she's a complete liar," the Third Princess said coquettishly.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Third Princess and remained silent.

The second princess said:

I've given up hope for my face.

Whether it can be cured or not is irrelevant; you can leave now!

The Third Princess suddenly spoke up:

"Sister, this child's origins are unknown; it's best to be careful!"

"If she intends to harm you, that would be troublesome."

In short, the Third Princess simply wouldn't allow Zhou Wanwan to treat the Second Princess.
