This world has its own cultural history and human geography. Donglai is a country in the eastern sea of the entire world, and the closest place to the Xuan Yuan dynasty is separated by a strait, where pirates are said to be rampant.
Pirates also have good and bad, for example, the Xuan Yuan dynasty's merchant ships going to Donglai were robbed by them, but the ships carrying disaster relief materials were not robbed. Firstly, the disaster relief materials belonged to the official ship of the Xuan Yuan dynasty, they did not want to offend the Xuan Yuan navy. Secondly, many of them were also residents of Donglai country, waiting for the supplies to relieve their urgent needs.
These were also things that Nangong reported on ordinary days when he talked about pirates because of curiosity.
It is also said that Donglai Island has the secret of eternal youth, and every year, spies from various countries will disguise themselves as merchants to explore the small islands near Donglai, but all in vain.
In terms of economy, this world is almost the same as during the Ming dynasty and should be considered a relatively open period. However, it's unexpected that they are so obsessed with immortality. As a result, the two countries have formed a deep "friendship".
It's been a long time since I came to the palace, and I've forgotten the way. If it weren't for my father-in-law leading me, I think I would get lost. However, there is another familiar road here, which is Chunyu.
Jun Yu was particularly quiet today, and he could still feel a hint of tension in him, but it was unclear whether it was because he would be meeting Xuan Yuan Yi Fei or his father, Jun Yu.
Several people came towards us, and we met at the entrance of a nine-bend bridge. There were both men and women, all wearing official robes. The leader was in his forties, with only a hint of whiskers under his lower lip, which didn't detract from his sensuality. Looking at him, I felt very familiar, but couldn't quite place who he was for the moment.
"This isn't the Lady of Protection, is it?" The middle-aged man bowed to me, his deep purple official robes indicating a high-ranking official. Thanks to Chu Yue's training, I could now tell an official's rank by the color of their robes.
Yellow is naturally for the imperial family, while the collateral relatives wear a kind of yellowish brown. Ugly! Sometimes several people are together, looking like a lump.
And for someone of my level, it's dark brown.
Next are crimson, deep purple, dark green, dark blue, light green and so on. The official in front of him was wearing a deep purple robe, which should be a second-grade official.
The other party saw that I didn't have any reaction, so he smiled: "Ah, look at old minister's foolishness. The lady has lost her memory, of course she can't recognize me, but I should thank the lady instead."
"I wondered: 'Thanks for what?'"
Under the bright spring sun, the old minister remained still, and the officials behind him didn't move either, standing quietly behind him, nodding slightly.
The high-ranking official smiled slightly, his lips curling up at the corners, and that small mustache twitched: "Thank you, madam, for teaching my son a lesson on behalf of this old minister." He spoke with a smile.
"Good heavens! You're Jia Mingkai!" No wonder he looked familiar, it's that young man's father!
"It's really me, old man." Jia Mingkai's clean face had no signs of aging, only a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which stretched out his eyes and brought out the charm of being forty but not confused.
Unexpectedly, he was Jia Mingkai. Looking closely at his eyes, they were filled with sincerity, but he couldn't possibly thank me. With such a base, how could there be an upright pillar?
So, it can only mean one thing: Jia Mingkai's city mansion is unfathomably deep.
I quickly laughed and said: "Really sorry about that, I was also impulsive that day."
"Haha, no more, no more." Jia Mingkai burst out laughing and interrupted me, making a please gesture, "Madam, please go in and have dinner, I heard that seafood is not fresh once it's off the ice block, please, madam."
Don't let me say it, I guess you don't want the ugly things to spread out. I smiled and took Xun Yu to walk ahead without courtesy.
The Jiuchong Bridge is long, with scales of waves rippling, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and schools of fish swimming freely.
In front of it stands a stone archway, with glazed green tiles at the top and stone carvings of the twelve zodiac animals under the eaves. The stone carvings are vividly depicted on the archway, as if guarding this auspicious land.
On the lawn, a banquet had been set up. When everyone arrived, Xuan Yuan Yi Fei and Feng Xue Yin were already seated in their proper positions, chatting with several people beside them. Judging from those people's attire, they didn't seem to be from the Xuan Yuan Dynasty; they should be envoys from Dong Lai Country.
They wore high buns, small collars, short dresses, and a wide-sleeved jacket on the outside, with black lantern pants underneath.
In the middle of the banquet was a larger round table, on which several wooden boxes were placed. The edges of the wooden boxes were emitting wisps of steam, which should be the boxes for seafood.
A temporary cooking range was set up by the round table, and at this moment, three people were standing behind the cooking range. I recognized them as Master Chef Jun Yu and two deputy chefs.
Everyone bowed to Xuan Yuan Yifei, and I was no exception. Xuan Yuan Yifei simply raised his hand, still without opening his eyes. Everyone took their seats, and I was arranged by Grandfather to sit in the first position under Fengxue Yun's hanging hand. Chun Yu naturally sat down beside me.
He looked at Junyu with excitement, but what he got in return was a stern gaze. Junyu lowered his head, looking somewhat disheartened. It's strange, when I saw Junyu that day, I felt like he was a very kind and approachable person, but I didn't expect him to be so strict with his own son.
Xuanyuan Yifei turned his head to glance at me and Chunyu, then withdrew his gaze. Although I couldn't see his expression, I felt a chill run down my spine, as if he was very displeased with having an extra freeloader like me around.
"So, please have your country's chef prepare a seafood banquet for everyone." The Donglai envoy's words were stiff, each word seeming to come out of stone, and I couldn't help but take another close look at those people, their speech was like that of Japanese people who had just started learning Chinese.
Xuanyuan Yifei nodded, the Donglai envoy beckoned to his own Donglai servant, they walked to the edge of the round table, opened a box, and immediately steam came out, forming a white mist. They pulled out an object from inside, silver light flashed before my eyes, I was delighted at once, it turned out to be salmon!
They presented the fish before Lord Chunyu, put it down and made a polite bow: "Many seats!"
Too many! I'm shocked, it's actually Little Japan!
Jun Yu didn't understand what they were saying, but body language is universal. He picked up the knife and the chef's knife brought out my saliva. Quick! Salmon is best when it's fresh, if you wait any longer it won't be sweet anymore, quick!
Finally, we waited for Lord Chunyu to make his move, and it turned out to be... shaving fish scales. Is he going to make fried fish scales?
