"Well, my parents also traveled to the four countries before entering the mountains, but I was too young at the time and can't remember clearly."
Mo Shen was afraid of revealing his secret, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, two maids in green suddenly came to the courtyard. They looked familiar and seemed to be the people around Princess Chihuang.
The two maids bowed to Mo Chen and said, "Miss Mo Chen, please come with us out of the mansion. The princess has invited you."
"Where to go?"
"You will naturally know it when you get there. It is inconvenient for the slaves to tell you."
Mo Shenwei could sense the malice in their eyes, handed the teacup in his hand to the maid next to him, and jumped off the flower vine swing.
"Girl please."
The two maids respectfully gave way, leaned down and raised their hands.
Mo Shen's movements were natural and unrestrained, and he strode towards the door.
The decoration on her body is extremely simple, and she only wears two plum blossom hairpins.
The carriage "Gulu Gulu" engraved with the seal of the princess's palace was driving on the main road of Phoenix City. Mo Shen lifted the corner of the carriage curtain and looked around curiously.
Phoenix City is indeed the main city of the most powerful country. In the past, its bustling and noisy level was far inferior to that of Luo Qi. But since the emergence of Jinxuan Tower, Luo Qi's business and wealth have risen several levels.
The clouds are warm and the sun is shining, people are singing and laughing in tea houses, restaurants, singing houses and dancing pavilions. Shop flags are flying high, people are shouting, cars and horses are sparkling, and shouts are coming and going. Children are laughing and playing in the street, and horses are trampling,
The dust is flying.
Along the way, Mo Shen noticed that many places were painted with phoenix patterns, either in pavilions or deep alleys. Every fifty steps or so, you could see phoenix patterns of different shapes.
According to the princess's maid, the Phoenix clan not only protects the royal family of Xiliang, but the phoenix pattern is also the unique totem of Xiliang.
"Can only members of the royal family receive the blessing of the phoenix?" Mo Shen asked strangely.
"Not necessarily, not all the royal family can be recognized by the Phoenix Spirit. At the end of the year, the emperor will take the royal family to the ancestral hall. Only those who have been baptized by the elders can summon their own guardian phoenix."
"Can the summoned phoenix be given away as a gift?"
"Reward?!"
Being looked at with suspicion by the maid, Mo Chen smiled bravely: "I mean, can the phoenix only protect one person?"
"Yes, you can only protect one person."
"Can I be summoned if I have not been baptized by an elder?"
"Historical records indicate that a royal disciple once summoned his own guardian phoenix with the help of external forces."
"External force? What external force is it?"
The maid smiled and refused to say more.
Mo Shen knew that he couldn't pry out any more useful clues, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The carriage quickly drove to the most prosperous area in Phoenix City. Accompanied by two maids, the three of them got out of the carriage together.
Mo Shen put down her skirt and looked up. It was an exquisite three-story pavilion, but the decoration here was unique.
There are layers of pink and blue intertwined tiles, decorated with white cloud-shaped ornaments, and the eaves and window sills are like slender marshmallows. The exterior walls are covered with various types of dried fruits and countless kinds of candies that she has never seen before.
Upon closer inspection, even the bricks and tiles look like pastries.
There are also many strange little things that have never been heard of or seen before.
The signboard was covered by a piece of red cloth, so the words could not be seen clearly.
"Girl, please come in."
The maid's voice reached her ears. She nodded deeply and walked forward. The guard at the door opened the door to let her go.
The moment she opened the door, a sweet smell hit her face, and the decoration inside shocked Mo Shen. For a moment, she suspected that she had arrived in the dream kingdom.
Everywhere you look are strange candies and pastries, and hundreds of odd-shaped stuffed animals can be seen everywhere. It's like a dream, and it's hard to tell the real ones from the fake ones.
Chihuang and Huo Ji were sitting in front of a marshmallow-shaped table and chair. The table was filled with candies and two square pastries, which seemed to be coated with a layer of white. The top layer was filled with cut pieces.
Fresh fruit.
One of the pieces had been touched, and it must have been eaten by Huo Ji.
The people in front of and behind the Red Phoenix seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about her. After seeing Mo Shen, she quickly waved: "Sister, come quickly!"
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Mo Shen nodded slightly to the two of them and sat in another seat.
This chair looks like a marshmallow, and when you sit on it, it looks more like a soft marshmallow.
Looking at the dazzling array of candies and desserts on the table, Mo Chen asked: "Princess, why did you send someone to bring me here?"
"See what my sister said, I can't find you if nothing happens?"
"If you have anything to say, Princess, just say it directly."
Mo Chen's indifferent and distant attitude did not make Chihuang angry. She pushed the strange dessert in front of Mo Chen: "Sister, try this little cake. Eat it with confidence, it is not poisonous."
Mo Chen looked at Chi Huang dubiously, took the silver spoon handed over by the maid, dug out a small piece and put it into his mouth, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he took another taste.
"Princess, what is this?"
"You don't know him?"
This time it was Chi Huang's turn to be surprised.
Mo Shen lowered his eyes, as if thinking about how to respond. Fortunately, Chihuang didn't delve too deeply into it, and handed her a piece of milky white candy.
After putting it into your mouth, the sweet and milky aroma spreads in your mouth.
"This is milk candy. I think it's a bit sweet, but General Huo thinks it's just right. What does my sister think?"
"It's a little bit sweeter."
"Then try this again. This is called chocolate. It is made from cocoa beans from the cocoa tree. This cocoa tree is very difficult to cultivate. Sister, you can only have such a small piece, but it took me a lot of effort."
Mo Chen's hand holding the spoon froze: "Chocolate? Cocoa tree? Did the princess cultivate it in the mansion?"
"Yes, I am awesome."
Chi Huang winked at her and smiled, then asked Mo Chen to continue tasting the candies on the table.
It's fine if you eat less, but it'll be a bit boring if you eat too much.
Chihuang seemed to have expected it, and ordered several cups of fruit juice, fruit tea, milk tea and coffee.
Chihuang was very enthusiastic and allowed her to taste a little of everything.
Then, he ordered the maid to bring new desserts.
"This cream cake is topped with coconut milk and shredded coconut, and mixed with jam and fruit pulp. Please try it, sister."
After Mo Chen took another bite, he suddenly asked: "General Huo, don't you want to try it together?"
Huo Ji seemed to be wandering in a trance, looking a little careless. He suddenly came back to his senses after hearing her voice, but looked at Mo Shen with something strange in his eyes.
Mo Shen's heart sank, fearing that clues would be discovered.
"Huang'er and I did these together. Does Miss Mo Shen still like it?"
"I like it, but I'm just a little curious. Where did you get the raw materials for these things?"
Chihuang smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret! If the news leaks out, my dessert shop business will be gone."
