Chapter 1080: The life that scumbags dream of
Lin Lang gently stroked Gu Keqing's shoulders and comforted her, "Silly wife, don't worry about those things. Your husband will love you forever."
Gu Keqing kissed Lin Lang on the left cheek and said with tears in her eyes, "Hubby, I love you!"
"Silly girl." Lin Lang raised his hand and wiped Gu Keqing's tears with his fingertips.
Zhao Lanshan, who was standing nearby, kissed Lin Lang on the right cheek: "You have a conscience. You still think of me when you have good things to do."
"Hubby, if my body doesn't change after I give birth to your first baby, I will get pregnant with your second baby." Zhao Lanshan smiled sweetly and knew how to act coquettishly.
Su Wanxing said enviously, "Hubby, I also want my beauty to stay forever and my figure to never change."
Tang Yan and Tong Lei took a step forward at the same time, shaking Lin Lang's arms and saying coquettishly, "Hubby, we also want to stay young forever and keep our figure unchanged."
Lin Lang said lovingly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before your husband will share [Age-Preserving Technique] and [Eternal Body Preservation] with you all. How can I bear to watch my precious wives grow old bit by bit!"
"Really? You're so nice, husband!" Tang Yan's eyes lit up and she snuggled happily into Lin Lang's arms.
Tong Lei also laughed and put her arm around Lin Lang's arm: "I knew my husband loved us the most!"
Su Wanxing jumped up and clapped her hands happily, smiling sweetly and saying, "Every woman's biggest dream is to stay young and in shape forever. Thank you, husband, for making our dream come true!"
Lin Lang felt warmed by their conversations. He reached out and pulled the beauties around him into his arms: "Don't worry, when has your husband ever treated you badly?!"
At this moment, Helan Minyue returned from the bathroom and saw Lin Lang hugging the concubine of Hushang Kingdom. She murmured jealously, "Your Majesty, I want a hug too."
Lin Lang waved his hand and said, "My beloved, come quickly. I will take you back to the Tang Dynasty right now. Do you want to choose the evening so you can get some sleep when you get there? Or should we choose the morning so we can have breakfast and start playing around the Tang Dynasty?"
The atmosphere in the Zhao residence's living room suddenly became tense and exciting, as if they were about to step into a whole new world in the next second.
Gu Keqing and the others all answered in unison that they would choose morning as the time and go straight to the Tang Dynasty to play after breakfast.
Only Helan Minyue was somewhat unhappy. She had been looking forward to returning to the Datang Mansion to serve in the emperor's bedchamber, but it seemed that her chance of being favored by Lin Lang tonight would be ruined.
"My beloved concubines, hold me tight, don't be afraid, the time travel will start soon!"
All the concubines hugged Lin Lang tightly, feeling both excited and nervous, and even held their breath unconsciously.
Lin Lang triggered the skill [Space-Time Global Group Transmission], and a golden light appeared on his palm. The wives and concubines in his arms were instantly enveloped by the dazzling light.
Everyone felt the world spinning, a strong sense of weightlessness came over them, and the sound of whistling wind was ringing in their ears.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw a completely different scene.
&34;Swoosh—&34;
The moment they stepped on the ground, everyone was so shocked by the magnificent buildings in front of them that they held their breath.
The first thing that catches your eye is the dining hall of the emperor's palace in Shanghai during the Tang Dynasty.
Chu Yiren was startled, and the silver chopsticks in her hand dropped into the gilded lacquer dish with a clang. Seeing Lin Lang bringing several concubines to the Tang Dynasty again, she looked unhappy, but stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty is back!"
Imperial Noble Consort Li Moli also put down her bowl, her eyes filled with surprise and astonishment. She quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, are you well?"
Zhou Mengyao, Mu Xueman and Pan Xiaoting all stood up, bowed, and glanced at the rivals behind Lin Lang. It would be a lie to say they were not jealous.
Lin Lang helped the still dizzy Gu Keqing and the others to stand steadily, and smiled and raised his chin towards Chu Yiren: "Queen, I was afraid that you guys would be bored in the Tang Dynasty, so I brought you some new sisters."
Gu Keqing had not yet fully recovered from the dizziness of time travel, and looked at the ancient scene in front of her with an expression of disbelief.
Su Wanxing and Zhou Mengyao stared at each other as if they were looking in the mirror.
Tang Yan held her best friend Tong Lei's hand, her big eyes sparkling as she whispered, "Oh my God! We actually traveled back to the Tang Dynasty."
Tong Lei looked at Chu Yiren, who was so graceful in her phoenix robe and wearing a gorgeous phoenix crown, and secretly exclaimed: "Miss Chu looks so beautiful as the queen! She is a hundred times more beautiful than the ancient costume actresses in TV dramas!"
Zhao Lanshan was also so shocked that her pupils were dizzy. She couldn't believe that they really went to the Tang Dynasty with Lin Lang and other ministers. She was so surprised that her eyes widened and her mouth was unable to close.
Helan Minyue, who understood ancient etiquette best, bowed and saluted hurriedly, saying, "Greetings to the Empress, greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort, and greetings to all the sisters."
Chu Yiren quickly put on a gentle fake smile on her face, walked forward and took Helan Minyue's hand: "Sisters, please don't be so polite. You must have had a hard time along the way. Come sit down and rest, and have breakfast with me."
Helan Minyue said sweetly: "Your Majesty, Shanghai is really fun. This time I accompanied Your Majesty back to Shanghai and it really broadened my horizons!"
Chu Yiren smiled and patted Helan Minyue's hand: "I'm glad you're back. I see you're having a great time in Shanghai. I hope His Majesty hasn't treated you unfairly?"
Helan Minyue's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Lin Lang secretly and whispered, "Your Majesty treats me very well."
Zhao Lanshan, Gu Keqing and the others recovered and quickly imitated Helan Minyue, bowing awkwardly: "Greetings to the Empress, Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort, and Greetings to all the sisters."
Because Tong Lei and Tang Yan studied acting and had some understanding of the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, their greetings and speeches were most natural and appropriate.
Li Moli smiled gently and softly instructed the maid behind her, "Add a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and bring a few bowls of freshly made lotus seed soup to calm the new sisters."
The maid hurriedly obeyed.
Zhou Mengyao greeted them warmly, "Everyone, don't be so reserved. It's a good opportunity for us to have breakfast together. Please take a seat."
Lin Lang looked at the beautiful women in the room, smiled, and waved his hand: "Alright, stop standing around. Since we've arrived for breakfast, let's eat together. Afterwards, let Xiaoting and Xueman show you around the mansion. We'll all be a family from now on."
Tang Yan looked at the carved beams and painted buildings in the dining hall with curiosity, and then looked at the exquisite celadon bowls and plates on the table, which contained osmanthus honey cakes, red date pastry cakes, Hu cakes, cheese, soup cakes, hawthorn porridge, mutton soup, cold pickles, steamed eggs, hot goat milk, horse milk, pigeon soup, candied fruits, five-ingredient plate, and so on.
The so-called five-ingredient plate in the Tang Dynasty was a platter of five kinds of meat.
Tang Yan quietly tugged at Tong Lei's sleeve, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she whispered, "This Tang Dynasty breakfast is much more interesting than the modern soy milk and fried dough sticks."
Tong Lei couldn't wait to sit down with everyone and began to taste the Tang Dynasty-style breakfast curiously.
Tang Yan picked up a piece of Hu pancake and gently broke it open, and the aroma of sesame spread instantly.
She took a small bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. She pulled Tong Lei beside her and whispered, "This cake is baked so crispy, with a bit of salty flavor, and much chewier than the biscuits we usually eat!"
Tong Lei was scooping up cheese with a small spoon. The delicate taste slid into her throat with a faint milky aroma. She smacked her lips and said, "This cheese is not greasy at all. It's even more refreshing than modern cheesecake!"
Gu Keqing picked up a piece of steamed mutton, dipped it in the sauce, put it in her mouth, chewed it for a few times and nodded, "This mutton is so tender, without any smell of mutton. The cooking method is simpler than ours, but it's more delicious."
Zhao Lanshan picked up a piece of jujube paste cake. The sweet but not overpowering taste made her brows relax. "I didn't expect Tang Dynasty desserts to be so appetizing. This jujube paste cake is more authentic than any other dessert I've ever had."
Su Wanxing took a sip of the hot goat milk, and the warmth spread from her stomach. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect the food in the Tang Dynasty to be so delicious."
Lin Lang watched them enjoying their meal. He also picked up a piece of Hu pancake and took a big bite. He mumbled, "This is the authentic Tang Dynasty flavor. It's much better than those modern ones with additives."
"It's really delicious," Tong Lei picked up another piece of osmanthus honey cake.
Pan Xiaoting picked up the celadon teacup and took a sip of the fruit juice. She looked at Tang Yan and the others enjoying the meal and said with a smile, "When I first came here, I was just like you. I thought these Hu pancakes were especially fragrant."
"Especially when it's freshly baked, the aroma of sesame mixed with wheat is so delicious when eaten with mutton soup." Pan Xiaoting looks so cute with her sweet smile.
Li Moli, who was scooping hawthorn porridge with a silver spoon, added, "I prefer to dip it in Tang Dynasty's steamed buns. It's as delicious as pulled noodles, and the more you eat it with Hu pancakes, the better it tastes."
Zhou Mengyao picked up a piece of candied fruit and handed it over, saying to Su Wanxing, "Sister Wanxing, try this. It's just the right sweet and sour taste. When I first came here, I was always thinking about the snacks from Shanghai, but now I think this candied fruit has no additives and is delicious."
"Thank you, Sister Mengyao!" Su Wanxing took the candied fruit and put it into her mouth, chewing it gently. She felt an inexplicable closeness to Zhou Mengyao as if they were related by blood.
Mu Xuelan helped Tang Yan add a spoonful of cheese and whispered, "This cheese is made from goat's milk and solidifies every morning. It loses its freshness if left for too long. You came at the right time, when it's at its tenderest. When I first arrived, I could eat a whole bowl of it in one meal."
Seeing that Lin Lang loved the jujube paste cake, Chu Yiren asked the maid to bring another plate over and said with a smile, "This jujube paste cake is made by the imperial chef in the imperial kitchen. It uses red dates from Jizhou. They remove the pits, mash them, mix them with glutinous rice flour, and steam them. It's just the right sweetness."
Lin Lang peeled a steamed egg for Chu Yiren himself and said gently, "The Queen is pregnant and needs to improve her nutrition. I will feed you the steamed egg."
Chu Yiren ate the steamed egg fed by Lin Lang in small bites. The superiority of the legal wife was written all over her face. She was so happy.
The wives and concubines in the charity hall were chatting with each other and eating breakfast in a lively atmosphere. Looking at the warm scene of his wives and concubines living in peace, Lin Lang felt very happy and relieved.
Tang Yan, still chewing a Hu Bing, mumbled, "Your Majesty, I heard that Suzaku Street in the Tang Dynasty is very lively. After breakfast, can you take us for a walk?"
Lin Lang replied cheerfully, "Okay! After you finish your breakfast and change into Tang Dynasty clothes and makeup, I'll take you out to play."
"Great!" Tang Yan and Tong Lei smiled sweetly and clapped their hands.
At this moment, a signal and Li Zhi's voice came from Lin Lang's intercom: "Brother, have you finished breakfast? I can't wait to play billiards with you."
