Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 612 - 610: Revenge Should Be Swift (Part 2)

Chapter 612: Chapter 610: Revenge Should Be Swift (Part 2)

Finished sending private invitations to internet celebrities, Lin Wanwan once again traveled through time to return to the Great Tang, just in time for dinner.

The dinner included a variety of delicacies cooked using modern techniques. Of course, it couldn’t lack the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that Lin Wanwan wanted to promote.

Initially, Pei Xingjian stayed just because he couldn’t refuse the hospitality, but after tasting this eye-opening dinner, he was immensely grateful and gained a new understanding of the word "gourmet."

Compared to this rich and flavorful dinner, all he had eaten before were plain and tasteless dishes.

After dinner, Lin Wanwan packed many tasty ingredients for Pei Xingjian, along with a pound of pepper grains. Of course, these didn’t count as her true gift.

Her planned gift was to return to the modern era and customize a telescope for this future Great General of the Great Tang. Having a telescope as "a thousand-mile eye" would definitely make him more formidable in battles.

A telescope absolutely counts as an ancient battlefield artifact! In the future, Pei Xingjian will find it useful when expanding territories to the Western Regions.

However, to avoid unforeseen complications, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t send it too early. She planned to wait until she completed her task of delivering Zhangsun Empress’s baby and could return to Mao County to give it.

After bidding farewell to Pei Xingjian, Lin Wanwan followed Sun Chuyao and worked on processing some medicinal ingredients.

Because Lin Wanwan was injured today, Sun didn’t let her taste the herbs, fearing adverse reactions.

Lin Wanwan was happy to take it easy; she had tasted enough herbs! She didn’t aim to be great; she just liked copying assignments.

Besides that, Lin Wanwan didn’t forget to reward Hong Yan and Kun Lun. Clear rewards and penalties ensure servants are more motivated and loyal.

After night fell, everyone returned to their rooms. Lin Wanwan returned to the modern era, starting to prepare props this time.

Lin Wanwan clicked on the delivery service, purchasing a bucket of dry ice, a pair of silent roller skates, a lighter, and a white candle, among other things.

Once she’d bought everything, she then opened the short video app. The internet celebrity had replied, with a makeup quote adding up to 50,000, including round-trip airfare reimbursement.

Lin Wanwan grinned, pretty expensive!

Oh well! To get her revenge, she really wasn’t holding back!

After sending the deposit to the other party, Lin Wanwan wanted to accelerate the time flow of the Great Tang and opened the Space-Time Gate to return to the Great Tang.

After sleeping, without even washing up, Lin Wanwan immediately took out a name card and sent someone to deliver a letter to Princess Changle in the palace requesting an audience.

By afternoon, Princess Changle responded, and Lin Wanwan promptly tidied up, took the prepared gifts, and rode off to the Chang’an City Palace.

Due to yesterday’s attack incident, this time Lin Wanwan traveled in grand style. There was a carriage, Kun Lun and Ji Yue as two servants, and Ah Jing brought along a saker falcon and a lynx; additionally, Sun Chuyao brought a few male servants, carrying long swords, following behind the carriage.

Besides that, Lin Wanwan also took along a modern purchased nail gun. To prevent this item from being confiscated by Chang’an City’s Marquis, Lin Wanwan decided to leave it inside the carriage, not bringing it into Chang’an City.

Inside Chang’an City, safety could still be guaranteed; no one dared to brazenly attack a Village Lady of Secondary Fifth Rank.

Lin Wanwan didn’t ride the carriage, because without shock absorbers and rubber tires, the carriage was too bumpy. She let Kun Lun drive the carriage along, mainly to hide weapons and create a spectacle.

Arriving outside Tonghua Gate of Chang’an City, Lin Wanwan left the carriage and Sun Chuyao with the male servants outside the city gate, taking only Kun Lun, Ah Jing, and the saker falcon and lynx into the city.

Weapons were restricted inside Chang’an City, but there was no regulation for noble-favored pets. Bringing the saker falcon was for just in case they encountered that golden eagle again, she would let it see the power of an aerial bomber!

Any eagle was inferior to the saker falcon, a speed-dependent aerial being that sneaks attacks on other birds’ heads, one of the saker falcon’s killer moves.

Once a bird was ambushed by the saker falcon, the "god of a thousand eagles," it basically had no way to survive.

Security measures enhanced, riding on horseback felt breezy for Lin Wanwan.

When Lin Wanwan arrived at the palace gates, Princess Changle’s personal palace maid was already waiting at the entrance.

Entering the palace with her, Lin Wanwan played two rounds of Mahjong with Princess Changle, then casually listened to some gossip, casually mentioning Princess Consort Yang.

It’s just a pity Li Lizhi was very astute, knowing which gossip could be easily discussed and what matters should not be mentioned even a bit. She was very discerning.

Because her arm was injured yesterday, Lin Wanwan wore large-sleeved clothes today. Under wide sleeves, Li Lizhi naturally couldn’t notice Lin Wanwan’s anomaly.

Since Li Lizhi couldn’t provide any substantial information, Lin Wanwan decided to leave and proceed with the next steps.

Just as the Mahjong game was wrapping up, Li Lizhi suddenly brought up without context, "Wanwan, I recently heard about that Dugu Yan from the Dugu Family causing a stir, so hilarious."

Lin Wanwan was clueless: "Who is Dugu Yan?"

She knew the Dugu Family, but she couldn’t keep track of anyone except historically notable ones.

Princess Changle smiled mysteriously, leaned next to Lin Wanwan’s ear, and whispered.

Lin Wanwan’s face changed like landscapes; this Li Changle, in the end, was making a joke out of her!

Dugu Yan was regarded as an old maid in the Great Tang, delayed in marrying because she wanted to wed her cousin Xiao Chong.

The matter of Xiao Chong requesting a marriage decree was well-known in Changan City’s noble circles, with Dugu Yan naturally included, thus creating some amusing situations.

Of course, such jokes weren’t heard by everyone; Li Lizhi knew how to share gossip.

The identity of Dugu Yan was somewhat complicated.

In brief, the Dugu Family, Yang Family, Li Family, and Xiao Family were all in-laws with intricate kinship connections.

And Dugu Yan and Princess Consort Yang’s grandmother, Empress Dowager Dugu, were within three degrees of kinship — meaning their relationship wasn’t too distant!

A thought flashed through Lin Wanwan’s mind; she seemed to have touched upon some reasons why she offended people.

Leaving Princess Changle’s bedroom, Lin Wanwan was still pondering, unknowingly heading toward Princess Consort Yang’s palace.

Suddenly, a palace official stopped Lin Wanwan, asking if she had gone the wrong way as the exit wasn’t in this direction.

Lin Wanwan then snapped back, saying she was indeed heading in this direction because Princess Consort Yang had asked her to come yesterday.

This was, of course, a lie, but the official couldn’t possibly consult Princess Consort Yang, nor would she suspect anyone would dare intrude into a concubine’s palace without a summons.

Lin Wanwan’s courage was indeed large; her large sleeves concealed a piece of milk soap and a transparent DHC cleansing soap.

She intended to gift Princess Consort Yang something she was interested in; why wouldn’t she dare go?

Bored in the palace, Princess Consort Yang was surprised hearing Lin Wanwan seek an audience outside her hall; Lin Le’an was really unharmed?

"Enter."
