Not edited, will be updated with the edited version later
Although, the little qilin was somewhat wary of them, but it was not enough. Perhaps they could once tried to twist their ways to gain something…
“Little Apple, I heard that your master’s cook ran away. You’re not hungry are you? It would be better to stay in my palace for a few days. My imperial palace had everything one would need. What you want to eat we have it.” Le Xuan Emperor started to tempt it.
The little qilin’s eyes brightened, but it immediately shook its head. “No need. Master can give me a lot of delicious things to eat, not much are from our kitchen.”
For several days, Ning Xuemo brought many meals from various restaurants, so it ate a lot of flavorful snacks and felt quite satisfy.
“How could outside food compared to the one within the Imperial Inner Court? We have the best cook, the best food from outside isn’t even comparable. Little Apple, there’s no harm going into the imperial palace to try some.” The Chancellor also butted into the conversation.
The little qilin was somewhat excited, but it was also somewhat afraid of strangers. Then again, its identity is that of a noble divine beast and didn’t wish to have much contact with humans.
It slanted its head to ponder. Suddenly, it seemed to thought of a problem. Both eyes shone and sparkled. “Hey Emperor, if my master cures your son, you are greatly indebted to her. You must invite her to eat a meal, right?”
Le Xuan Emperor was a bit flabbergasted, “….of course…”
“Un! This is it. Then, you should express your thanks and make the imperial palace cook makes the best food. At that times, my master and I would come together to enjoy it.” It felt it was very smart to thought up of this great idea. The little qilin was beaming with smile.
Le Xuan Emperor was unexpectedly speechless from Little Apple’s words. He coughed and said, “Little Apple, in the palace, there are many delicious food, but also many interesting things. One day is not enough to eat everything nor see all the fun things. Besides, your master can only stay in the palace for half a day even when she entered the palace…”
In fact, the little qilin wasn’t really interest in all those “fun” things. It preferred to eat good food.
It pondered for a moment and in the end, thought of another way. “Emperor, my master gave your such a big grace, but you can’t even reward her with many delicious things? It would be better that you reward her with a cook…”
“Little Apple, there’s many delicious food in life even if the imperial chef cook everything, you won’t be able to eat them all.” The Chancellor argued.
“If we can’t eat everything, we can just doggy bag the leftovers.” The little qilin slanted its head. This was one of the new expression it learnt from Ning Xuemo.
All the present officials figured out the meaning of “doggy bag”. All of them couldn’t help but wanting to laugh.
Was there anyone who would “doggy bag” the food from the imperial banquet?
This little qilin is very naive.
The Chancellor explained to the little qilin why it couldn’t doggy bag the imperial feast leftovers. At the end, he bluntly made it clear to the little qilin, “Little Apple, even if the benevolence from the Emperor is vast and mighty and he allowed your master to bring back the food, those things still need to be warm back to be delicious and it could easily be spoiled. Isn’t it better for you to stay inside the palace and let the imperial kitchen make anything you want to eat?”
The little qilin immediately shook its head. “No! I can’t leave my master!” It absolutely didn’t want to change master!
Everyone looked at each other as they didn’t think that this qilin had such loyalty.
Amongst them, someone with a serious expression spoke, “Young qilin, you should know that people who lived under the Heaven are a subject to a ruler. Since we are in Vast Sky Empire, no matter who or what, they are all the imperial family’s possessions. Even your master is His Majesty’s subject, thus you also are. His Majesty fancies you which is your fortune. I believe that as long as His Majesty spoke, your master will certainly agree to send you to the palace. So, be obedient and offers yourself to the imperial family…”
The little qilin was stunned with widened eyes. His master would present him to someone else?! She didn’t want him anymore?!
