Chapter 457 My dear Wang, you are specially permitted to go to [Fairyland] 1 to investigate tomorrow
Upon witnessing this scene, Lord Wang Fantong stood frozen in place, exclaiming in his heart, "Heavens!"
When had he ever seen the usually aloof and dignified emperor so kind and approachable? This completely overturned his previous understanding of the emperor.
It seems...it seems...that His Majesty is exceptionally patient whenever faced with the many novel things in the [Fairyland]...
"Minister Wang, please don't stand on ceremony, enjoy your meal."
Once Wang Fantong regained his senses, he saw that the emperor's aura softened after taking a small sip...
So, he mustered up his courage and started eating late-night snacks with them.
Of course, he would first present a portion of each dish to the emperor, and only after the emperor had tasted it would he begin to eat.
Having been hungry all day, Lord Wang was soothed by the divine food from the "Fairyland" that his empty stomach was comforted. He was so moved by the delicious food that he almost shed tears.
Although this was, in a sense, the first time Xuan Moyuan had truly tasted the legendary "fairyland" food that was popular among the common people, he couldn't help but be amazed.
These dishes were not only unlike anything he had ever seen before, but they were also even more to his liking than those made by the imperial chefs in the palace.
What's even more amazing is that this so-called takeout, no one knows where it came from, was delivered so quickly and still managed to perfectly preserve the flavor of the food.
This alone is difficult to explain using common sense.
At this point, Xuan Moyuan had become more convinced of the strange origins of the "Fairyland" as reported by his ministers.
Recalling the rumors that there would be a direct trip from the capital to the "fairyland" the next day, he casually brought it up with Wang Fantong, who was enjoying his meal.
Lord Wang wiped the grease from his mouth, and when the Emperor asked, he quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will open [It's a Wonderland] and take a closer look. There seems to be a notice or message inside."
Lord Wang, who had just briefly browsed the mini-program, vaguely remembered this matter and immediately opened it again to confirm.
Sure enough, the pinned announcement not only announced the opening of the high-speed rail tomorrow, but also introduced all the new shops that will be opening tomorrow.
Lord Wang hurriedly read the notification aloud to the Emperor, word by word.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully examined the announcement and there is indeed one stating that the underground high-speed rail will open tomorrow and will reach our capital!"
The announcement also stated that passengers can pre-purchase high-speed rail tickets through the "Buy Tickets Early" mini-program to avoid travel delays caused by overcrowding.
Furthermore, tomorrow's announcement mentions that a large-scale hotel will be opening in [Fairyland].
Even esteemed members like myself, who are enrolled in the smart bracelet program, can pre-select and book rooms through the 【Stay a Night】 mini-program…
Oh, and also, the announcement says that a new amusement park called 'Amusement Park' will open tomorrow.
It seems that the changes in [Fairyland] are truly rapid and ever-changing, keeping one constantly on the move!
Lord Wang reported everything in great detail.
Seeing that the Emperor was indeed listening attentively and did not find him noisy at all, he was secretly pleased. It seemed that he had not misjudged the Emperor; the Emperor did indeed have some preference and interest in the "Fairyland".
Upon hearing this, Xuan Moyuan glanced at Wang Fantong, whom he had always found noisy but now found much more agreeable because of the detailed report, and a new plan formed in his mind.
"Minister Wang, you've had a long day. It's late now, so please go back and rest after you've eaten your fill..."
After a brief pause, the Emperor continued, "In that case, I will grant you special permission to skip court tomorrow and send you to that [fairyland] to investigate."
Book your high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow tonight and set off early.
All expenses will be covered by public funds and will be reimbursed upon return..."
Xuan Moyuan glanced at Wang Fantong again with his deep eyes, seemingly finding him unreliable, and then added:
"Considering that Vice Minister Wang often has a poor memory, I hereby grant you permission to bring one person with you."
Upon your return, you must recount to me in detail everything you have seen and heard. Do you understand?
From the moment His Majesty spoke, Lord Wang's small eyes, which were originally the size of mung beans, gradually widened into round eyes due to extreme surprise.
He could hardly believe his ears. His Majesty... had actually entrusted him with such a wonderful mission to the Fairy Realm!
Is this a sign of good fortune turning around?
After being punished, he was first able to have a late-night snack with the Emperor and savor the finest delicacies.
What's even more amazing is that he'll be able to skip the morning court session tomorrow and go to the "Fairyland" at public expense to eat, drink, and have fun to his heart's content?
Good heavens, could this all be a beautiful but unreal dream?
To confirm whether he was dreaming, Lord Wang slapped his round face hard...
A sharp pain struck him, and he realized that his luck had truly turned around. He was so excited that he responded repeatedly.
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty. I will certainly experience it carefully and feel it deeply. After I return, I will report everything I have seen and heard to Your Majesty in detail."
Uh... However, just to be on the safe side, I would like to ask Minister Liu of the Ministry of Personnel to accompany me.
Lord Liu has an exceptional memory, while all I can remember are those foods, hehe..."
As Wang Fantong spoke, his voice gradually faded. Knowing his poor memory, he immediately thought of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Personnel.
If he could bring Lord Liu along, he wouldn't have to worry about forgetting things.
"I grant your permission. If there is still time, you may go tomorrow and return tomorrow. After you return, you may come to the Imperial Study to see me."
"Alright, you can leave now."
Having finished his explanations, Lord Wang, having eaten and drunk his fill, rose to take his leave and hurriedly left the palace.
He had to go to the Liu residence first to tell Lord Liu this wonderful news.
Once we get back to the manor, we'll have to buy Lord Liu's high-speed rail ticket as well...
It's because Lord Liu doesn't have his prestigious wristband membership; without the wristband, he can't even buy tickets in advance, so he has to rely on him.
Filled with a mix of pride, excitement, and anticipation, Lord Wang, though exhausted today, was still full of energy and went to find his old buddy with great joy...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, under the same night sky, countless stars twinkled.
On her way back, Bai Mengran efficiently completed all of her "homework" for the day.
After updating the [Fairyland Bracelet], Bai Mengran also saw the advance notice of the new store opening tomorrow.
She then suddenly realized that her schedule was likely clashing tomorrow, with many things happening on the same day.
However, although it may be tiring to rush to open a new store and warm up the atmosphere, tomorrow will be a perfect day to take advantage of the full opening of the underground high-speed rail, as well as the addition of hotels and amusement parks. The [Fairyland] family is booming and developing rapidly.
In this way, they can take advantage of this trend to generate a considerable amount of revenue!
[Host, shall I begin announcing today's passively acquired mission rewards?]
The system's voice rang in her ears, just in time to interrupt Bai Mengran's wandering thoughts...
