Chapter 1075: Su Wanxing was shocked by Helan Minyue

The dolls next to the claw machine were piled up like a small mountain. Helan Minyue held the last frog doll, yawned slightly, and the excitement in her eyes gradually faded.

"Your Majesty, let's go somewhere else to play?"

Lin Lang smiled and ruffled Helan Minyue's hair, and replied lovingly: "My beloved, are you tired from playing? Then let's go to the snack street for a walk."

"Okay!" Helan Minyue smiled sweetly.

Lin Lang took out a few storage bags from his personal space and filled them with Helan Minyue's "trophies" from catching dolls. The two of them left the arcade chatting and laughing.

After arriving at the underground parking lot of the shopping mall, Lin Lang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and put all the plush dolls in several storage bags into his personal space.

After getting into the Ferrari convertible, Helan Minyue was still savoring the fun she had just had.

She would touch the Hello Kitty in her arms, imitate the movements of grabbing a doll, and chirp away, as happy as a child.

"Your Majesty, Shanghai is so much fun! Claw dolls are more interesting than pitching pots, and arcade games are more exciting than polo. I've never been so happy..."

Helan Minyue turned her head to look at Lin Lang, her eyes sparkling under the street light.

"When I was in the palace, I always felt that the days were slow and leisurely. Today, I realized that playing with His Majesty like this is actually so joyful."

Lin Lang held the steering wheel, listening to Helan Minyue's excited voice, the smile on his lips never faded: "I will take you to play more new things in the future."

Outside the car window, neon lights flickered on the streets of Changhai, and colorful lights flowed into a river.

Helan Minyue leaned against the car window, looking at the twinkling lights among the tall buildings, which looked like an overturned jewelry box. She couldn't help but exclaim, "These lights are much brighter than the palace lanterns, and they can even change colors!"

In the workshop, Helan Minyue seemed to have endless things to talk about with Lin Lang, asking questions about this and that very curiously.

Lin Lang always answered gently and patiently, and the more he looked at the innocent Helan Minyue, the more he liked her.

"My dear, we are almost there."

Lin Lang parked the car on the side of the road and pointed to a busy street not far away. "That's Shanghai Snack Street. It's full of Shanghai specialties. I guarantee you'll love it."

When Helan Minyue heard the word "eat", her eyes widened instantly, and all the fatigue she had just felt disappeared. She grabbed Lin Lang's hand and ran to the street.

As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the snack street, all kinds of aromas hit you - the cumin aroma of grilled skewers, the sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts, and the spicy and fresh aroma of grilled squid.

Helan Minyue sniffed, swallowed, turned around and smiled at Lin Lang like a greedy little squirrel.

"Your Majesty, these all smell so good! Which one should we try first?"

Lin Lang, holding Helan Minyue's hand, walked through the crowd and pointed at the shengjian stall on the roadside: "Try this first. It's a famous shengjianbao in Shanghai. The skin is crispy and the filling is delicious, and it comes with broth."

The stall owner quickly filled a plate and handed over two small forks.

Helan Minyue carefully opened one, and steaming hot soup came out. She blew on it and took a small bite. The delicious meat juices burst in her mouth, and she mumbled, "Delicious! Even more delicious than the caged prison balls in the palace!"

The so-called "Longshanglaowan" are steamed dumplings from the Tang Dynasty, while "Longzhonglaowan" are boiled dumplings.

Moreover, the shape of dumplings in the Tang Dynasty is exactly the same as that of modern dumplings.

Lin Lang took out a tissue and wiped the greasy spots from the corners of Helan Minyue's mouth with a smile: "My beloved, eat slowly. Eat a small amount of each snack so that you can have room for more snacks."

"Okay, hehe..." Helan Minyue smiled sweetly.

Walking forward, the grilled squid stall caught Helan Minyue's attention. She stared at the squid skewers sizzling on the iron plate and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what kind of snack is this?"

Lin Lang smiled and bought two skewers and handed them over: "This is grilled squid. It's freshly grilled, so be careful, it's hot. How does it taste?"

Helan Minyue blew on it and couldn't wait to take a big bite. The tenderness of the squid mixed with the aroma of cumin exploded in her mouth, and she was intoxicated by the fragrance in one bite.

"Your Majesty, this is even better than the roasted venison in the palace! It's chewy and has a slightly spicy flavor. It's so fragrant!"

Lin Lang scratched Helan Minyue's nose and said lovingly, "Let's go. There are still many delicious foods at the roadside stalls ahead."

Helan Minyue and Lin Lang walked forward hand in hand, eating delicious grilled squid.

After walking a few steps, I saw a crowd of people in front of the octopus balls stall.

The golden meatballs are grilled on the iron plate until they are round, poured with sauce and sprinkled with bonito flakes, and they move with the "gurgling" sound as if they are dancing.

Helan Minyue stood on tiptoe and looked at it for a long time, then pulled Lin Lang's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I want to eat the round one!"

Lin Lang bought a small portion of octopus balls and handed them to Helan Minyue lovingly: "Be careful, they're just out of the pan, they're hot."

Helan Minyue curiously poked an octopus ball with a bamboo stick and took a tentative bite. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she squinted happily, sighing with satisfaction: "This thing is so full of flavor, so delicious!"

"Your Majesty, you have one too."

Helan Minyue picked up an octopus ball with a bamboo stick and gently fed it to Lin Lang's mouth.

The two people stood under the street light, eating and chatting, just like an ordinary couple in love, looking sweet and happy.

The stall selling grilled lamb skewers was filled with smoke. The fat and lean lamb was grilled on charcoal until it was shiny and sprinkled with chili powder and cumin. The aroma could waft across half the street.

Helan Minyue's eyes were as bright as falling stars. She held Lin Lang's hand, looking for the aroma of cumin, and stopped in front of the grilled lamb kebab stall.

"Your Majesty, this barbecue smells so good, I want to eat it!"

Lin Lang bought some grilled lamb skewers and handed them to Helan Minyue lovingly, "Freshly grilled, slightly spicy, be careful of the heat."

Taking the meat skewers handed to her by Lin Lang, Helan Minyue couldn't wait to take a small bite. The aroma of the mutton mixed with the burnt aroma of the charcoal fire exploded on the tip of her tongue. It was fat but not greasy, and spicy enough to make her nose sweat, but she couldn't stop eating.

"Wow, the spices sprinkled on Shanghai BBQ taste really good!"

"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you." Lin Lang took out a tissue and wiped the oil off the corners of Helan Minyue's mouth, feeling helpless and amused. "There's still a lot of food ahead, save some space."

Helan Minyue ate the grilled lamb skewers with a satisfied look on her face and nodded vaguely, but her eyes had already glanced at the pearl milk tea stall next to her. Before she finished the lamb skewers in her hand, she pulled Lin Lang over there.

"Your Majesty, I would like to try this too."

Lin Lang bought a cup of pearl milk tea, inserted a straw into it, and handed it to Helan Minyue, saying lovingly, "How about trying the pearl milk tea?"

Helan Minyue was like a little animal just out of the cage, full of curiosity about everything. She took a sip of pearl milk tea with a straw, squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly in amazement.

"Mm, it's delicious. I've never tasted milk tea with such a unique flavor."

Looking at Helan Minyue walking and eating like a little greedy cat, Lin Lang always had a doting smile on his face.

Helan Minyue changed the snacks in her hand one after another, from grilled cold noodles to grilled oysters, and even peeled and tasted two sugar-roasted chestnuts on the roadside. Her mouth was full and she enjoyed the food so much.

Her eyes were still scanning the surrounding stalls, afraid of missing any delicious food. She didn't even bother to wipe the sauce and sesame seeds from the corners of her mouth, and was full of childish joy.

Lin Lang looked at Helan Minyue's happy and satisfied expression, and the smile in his eyes was so gentle that it could melt the night: "My beloved, if you want to eat snacks from Shanghai Kingdom in the future, I will bring you here to taste them anytime."

Helan Minyue nodded vigorously, holding up half a string of grilled oysters and passing it to Lin Lang's mouth: "Your Majesty, have some too! This is very fresh!"

Lin Lang bit into the oysters Helan Minyue handed him, and felt that the most touching taste in the world was never in a feast. But in this bustling street, in the warm bite she handed him.

The aroma of fireworks wrapped in the fragrance of food wafted towards him, reflecting Helan Minyue's satisfied smile, brighter than the neon lights on the street.

At this moment, Helan Minyue pointed at a fried stinky tofu stall not far away and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, look, isn't that Concubine Zhou? Isn't she in the Tang Dynasty with Concubine Mu? How come she's in the snack street too?"

Lin Lang looked in the direction of Helan Minyue's finger and saw Zhou Mengyao's twin sister Su Wanxing, who was buying "Changsha Fried Stinky Tofu".

"My beloved, that's not Concubine Zhou. It's the talented Su who looks exactly like Mengyao. She's a beautiful writer from our Hushang Kingdom and one of my concubines."

After hearing this, Helan Minyue felt that the snack in her hand no longer tasted good and exclaimed, "Wow, the talented lady Su and Concubine Zhou look so much alike!"

"Wanxing!" Lin Lang walked forward and greeted her.

Su Wanxing had just paid and taken the fried stinky tofu. When she saw Lin Lang, she smiled sweetly with surprise and said, "Honey, what a coincidence! I ran into you at the snack street!"

Lin Lang smiled and joked, "I never thought a beautiful lady like you would like to eat fried stinky tofu."

Su Wanxing laughed a little embarrassedly: "Hubby, if you don't like the taste of stinky tofu, then I won't eat it."

Lin Lang said lovingly, "Don't, it's time to eat."

Then, Lin Lang paid the stall owner to fry two more servings of stinky tofu.

Helan Minyue pinched her nose and walked forward, looking at the fried stinky tofu stall with curiosity, and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what is this snack? Why does it smell so bad?"

Lin Lang replied gently, "This is called fried stinky tofu. It smells stinky, but tastes delicious."

Su Wanxing looked at Helan Minyue, who was wearing a modern white dress but a traditional hairstyle and headdress, and asked Lin Lang with some jealousy, "Hubby, who is she?"

Lin Lang pulled Helan Minyue and Su Wanxing aside and introduced them, "Wife, this is Helan Minyue, from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. She is the concubine that Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty bestowed upon me."

Su Wanxing has written ancient Chinese novels set in the Tang Dynasty and is very familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty.

She said in disbelief, "No way! Husband, don't tease me. Isn't Helan Minyue Wu Zetian's niece?"

Lin Lang replied seriously, "Yes, that's right! Minyue, say hello to Sister Wanxing."

Helan Minyue stepped forward gracefully, bowed, and spoke in a voice as clear and gentle as jade.

"My name is Helan, and I'm honored to meet Sister Wanxing. A few days ago, I married His Majesty in the Tang Dynasty. From now on, I'll be living with you in the harem of the Kingdom of Shanghai. I hope you'll take good care of me."

Su Wanxing was stunned after hearing this, but she quickly replied, "Uh... since my sister has entered the palace, we are family. There is no need to be so polite."

Helan Minyue blinked her big watery eyes and smiled sweetly, "Sister Wanxing and Concubine Zhou look alike, like twin sisters."

Su Wanxing narrowed her eyes and gave a fake smile, then she pulled Lin Lang's arm, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.

"Husband, what are you doing? This beautiful girl with a gentle and reasonable temperament, could she really be Helan Minyue from the Tang Dynasty?"
