The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 156, Chicken Soup_1

The Royal Palace was built at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, with the Dayuan River flowing by. Nestled between mountain and water, the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

Pavilions, water pavilions, artificial mountains, and towers could be seen everywhere.

What surprised Daohua the most was that in the eastern part of the palace, there was a pond that resembled a swimming pool.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua staring at the pond, explained, “This is where we bathe in the summer to cool off. The water in the pool is drawn from the springs at the top of the mountain; it’s clear, cool, and very refreshing. Soaking in it is a great way to beat the heat.”

“You even use spring water?” Daohua exclaimed with a face full of amazement. These ancient elite sure knew how to live in luxury.

She hadn’t even found a place to drink spring water, while here, they used it for baths.

The palace was too large; Daohua felt half-hearted about continuing to explore after only seeing half of it.

It couldn’t be helped, the weather was too cold. It had snowed the night before, and there was still a layer of snow on the eaves.

Compared to staying outside in the cold wind admiring the snowy scenery, she would rather curl up inside and stay put.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua’s cheeks red from the cold, said, “We’ve been walking around for most of the day and everyone must be tired by now. Let’s go back to the room to rest and have some tea.”

Yan Wenkai, though still with a desire to see more, nodded in agreement, “Alright, if we haven’t finished looking around this time, we’ll come back next time to continue.”

Yan Wenxiu and Li Xingnian naturally had no objections.

The group returned to the main hall quickly.

De Fu, noticing that Xiao Yeyang had improved a lot after wandering around for half a day, immediately smiled more broadly.

These days, this little ancestor had been cooped up in the room, not stepping out, looking down and out, which really worried him. Now things were better; he had gone out with Miss Yan and come back energized.

“What are you dawdling for? What about the tea and snacks? Hurry up and serve them!”

Xiao Yeyang, seeing everyone seated while De Fu still stood there with a silly smile, couldn’t help but speak out.

De Fu came to his senses, “The refreshments are already prepared. I’ll have someone bring them in immediately.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a maid came in carrying a food box.

Seeing the maid, De Fu’s expression became serious, and he quickly trotted over to respectfully take the food box from her hands.

The maid smiled as she handed over the box to De Fu, bowed to Xiao Yeyang, and then left without saying anything else.

Daohua sat on the side, curiously watching. She noticed that after the maid entered, Xiao Yeyang’s face grew dark.

While Daohua was pondering who the maid was, she suddenly felt a burning gaze on her. Looking up, she saw it was De Fu.

De Fu’s gaze kept darting from the food box in his hands to Daohua, while he desperately made faces at her.

Daohua was taken aback. What did he mean?

At that moment, Xiao Yeyang’s voice rang out again, “What are you standing there for? Where are the refreshments?” His tone carried more irritation and impatience.

Seeing that Daohua hadn’t understood his signal, De Fu looked distressed. Glancing at the food box in his hands, he hesitantly started moving towards the outside of the room.

“Wait!”

In a flash of inspiration, Daohua suddenly understood what De Fu had meant, “What delicious things do you have in that food box? May I have a look?”

De Fu immediately turned around, his eyes full of hope as he looked at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing no response from him, he quickly placed the food box on the table between Daohua’s and Xiao Yeyang’s chairs.

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang’s stern face, then back at De Fu, who was eagerly watching her. After thinking for a moment, she reached for the food box and opened the lid.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

As soon as the box was opened, a rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out.
