I Want Takeout, Don't You Understand?
She shouted, "Are all you lackeys dead? Don't you know how to come and offer some advice?"
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground.
The second princess sighed and said, "I just wanted to give it a try, you don't need to worry."
The Third Princess said coldly:
"I felt something was off about this little girl. She asked for 100,000 taels right off the bat; she's just after your money."
"Someone, throw this little girl out!"
Zhou Wanwan finally understood: the Third Princess simply didn't want her to treat the Second Princess.
Why is that?
The Old Scholar Tree outside said:
"I just inquired around in this garden, and it turns out that the Third Princess has always been jealous of the other beautiful princesses."
She was the ugliest of all the princesses, and now that the second princess was there to make her look bad, she was naturally happy.
Zhou Wanwan understood. The Third Princess was jealous of the other princesses' beauty, so she didn't want her to cure the Second Princess.
Several palace maids and eunuchs gathered around.
Zhou Wanwan scoffed and said, "Tie them up and stop me from treating them. I'm going to treat them anyway today."
The third princess squinted and said, "How dare you! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll have your hands chopped off."
Zhou Wanwan looked at the Second Princess and asked, "What are you thinking, Second Princess?"
If the second princess was unwilling to receive treatment, Zhou Wanwan planned to turn around and leave, since she never forced anyone to do anything against their will.
The second princess looked at her earnestly and said:
"I'm willing to get treatment; this dark spot on my face has been bothering me for a long time."
I can't even sleep well every night because I look at this spot.
Now that I've reached marriageable age, while other princesses have suitors, I remain untouched.
Actually, it's not that I necessarily want to marry anyone; I just feel that this dark spot is affecting me too much.
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then let's go into your room! But I need to collect the money first."
The second princess nodded to the person next to her, and soon, that person took out 100,000 taels of silver notes.
Zhou Wanwan began treating the Second Princess's illness. The Second Princess needed far too many medicinal herbs for her face, and Zhou Wanwan spent a considerable amount of time preparing the prescriptions. She said, "These herbs should be enough. To be on the safe side, I'll also add some ginseng."
The medicinal herbs that Zhou Wanwan prepared were applied directly to the Second Princess's face. Of course, applying these herbs alone to the Second Princess's face wouldn't be effective.
The Old Scholar Tree needs to use its roots to slowly penetrate the second princess's skin and draw out all the toxins.
After it has absorbed all the toxins, apply these medicinal herbs externally.
The Old Scholar Tree moved very slowly, and its roots gradually reached into the second princess's face.
Then they planned to suck out the toxins, but they didn't expect the toxins to be so stubborn.
The Old Scholar Tree struggled greatly. "These poisons are very potent; it will take me a long time."
Zhou Wanwan asked, "How long will it take?"
"Three hours!"
"That wasn't too long, but this order was indeed quite tiring." Even if Zhou Wanwan could infuse the medicinal herbs into the Second Princess's body, she still needed to prepare the herbs properly.
This job is really difficult.
The third princess shouted from the side, "You brat, let me go right now! Or I'll kill you!"
Zhou Wanwan looked at the Third Princess and said:
"Third Princess, you'd better save your breath! You're no match for me."
But look at your face, it's covered in pimples, don't you want to get them treated?
The third princess's face was covered in acne, so dense and plentiful that it looked utterly disgusting.
In the past, when I watched TV dramas, all the princesses were fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs.
But real princesses are not like that at all.
The Third Princess looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You can cure it? You're just putting on an act."
Zhou Wanwan stopped talking and saw the Second Princess walk out, leaving everyone stunned.
The second princess's mother was Murong Xue, the most beautiful woman in the Great Qi Kingdom, who was especially favored by the emperor.
The second princess's appearance was simply breathtaking.
She looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smile and said, "Wanwan, you're amazing. This is a small gift for you, just a little something to show your appreciation."
The Crown Prince was stunned. "Second Sister, are you really that beautiful? You look so much like Mother!"
Murong Xue was also the mother of the Crown Prince of the Great Qi Kingdom. It is said that the Emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom was deeply in love with Murong Xue and doted on her alone. Unfortunately, she died young.
The second princess laughed and said, "If Father King saw my face like this, he would be very happy!"
The Third Princess glared at Zhou Wanwan with resentment and said, "How annoying."
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Third Princess, you've seen my abilities. Don't you want to try them out?"
The third princess said haughtily, "I don't believe your nonsense! What use is a woman's beauty if she only has looks? I don't care."
Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said:
"Alright! Okay, I have to go back now. Your Highness, my takeout tastes pretty good, right?"
If you need food, please make an order at Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
"Drunken Immortal Restaurant? You're actually the owner behind Drunken Immortal Restaurant?" the Third Princess exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Yes! I'm leaving."
The prince looked at the menu and said, "Interesting. Not only do they offer takeout, but we'll continue ordering takeout tonight."
The old eunuch beside him said:
"Your Highness, I feel that takeout food doesn't come from the Imperial Kitchen after all."
What if it's not clean? What if it's been poisoned...?
The crown prince snorted coldly and said, "I want takeout, don't you understand?"
The old eunuch dared not say anything more and had no choice but to leave.
That evening, the Crown Prince ordered another table full of dishes, which cost over a thousand taels of silver.
Even so, it's still more cost-effective than the Imperial Kitchen Imperial Kitchen, which costs several thousand taels of silver a day for its dishes.
The crown prince ordered the dishes to be served, and the old eunuch said:
"Zhou Wanwan is completely outrageous. I told her to have someone take the vegetables from her hands."
Her side refused, saying that as long as the vegetables were there, they were there; if they wanted to inspect the vegetables, they could, but only in front of the Crown Prince, otherwise there was no point in discussing it.
The Crown Prince laughed and said, "Interesting, then let them in!"
Zhou Wanwan's people came in and placed the dishes on the table.
The old eunuch looked at them and said, "The food has been served, aren't you going down?"
"We'll check the food! We'll always be there, and if any problems arise from eating it, we'll take full responsibility."
"But if problems arise after we leave, it won't be our problem," Zhichun said.
Zhichun is now in charge of all the takeout matters here.
The old eunuch immediately ordered the food to be inspected, "Inspect it carefully, or you'll lose your heads."
By the time these people finished inspecting the food, it had gone completely cold.
Zhichun clapped her hands, and someone brought over a ghee lamp specifically for heating the dishes.
Once the food was heated up, the prince began to eat. "This food tastes good. What is this?"
Zhichun replied, "Your Highness, this is grilled grouper."
"Mmm, it tastes much better than what the Imperial Kitchen makes. What is this dish?"
"Baked lobster with cheese, this dish isn't available for sale elsewhere."
"Cheese? It's quite delicious."
Zhichun stood silently to the side. The Crown Prince, having eaten a lot of food, let out a burp and asked, "Is there any more milk tea?"
"Yes, this milk tea is complimentary. Today's milk tea is mango pomelo sago. Please have a taste."
