Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1264 - 1143: Some Rejoice, Some Worry (Part 2)

Although this cup is extremely exquisite and crafted by His Majesty himself, it is evident that these items are by no means ordinary, and their value is beyond measure.

It can be said without exaggeration that such a delicate glass cup would fetch an astronomical price in the market, as previously mentioned, its value is certainly not cheap.

But anyway, these people are certainly not ordinary, their positions are all intimidating!

Among these, the ministers of the six departments are no exception. After drinking this cup of wine, five of the six ministers were immediately knocked down.

Only the Minister of the Ministry of War remained somewhat sober, although not lying down on his seat, but it was obvious from his glazed eyes that he was about to endure no more. In no time, the alcohol would take over and he would completely pass out.

Sure enough, no sooner had the words been spoken than the Minister of the Ministry of War swayed twice, then fell directly onto the table with a thud.

Though this man was the Minister of the Ministry of War, his physical strength was robust, but it’s important to remember his age. In this era where the average lifespan is only forty to fifty years, he has lived to the age of fifty, which is quite remarkable.

Indeed, this lifespan is quite long compared to ordinary people, and his physical condition seems good as well. But at such an age, his bodily functions naturally cannot compare to those of the young. Hence, after this cup of wine, although stronger than the other ministers, he barely lasted before falling onto the table.

And his fall seemed to signal something; the individuals who hadn’t yet fallen suddenly succumbed to the dizzying sensation engulfing their minds, losing consciousness and tumbling down. Suddenly, the numerous civil and military officials present, with the alcohol taking effect, left less than one hundred steady in their seats. Of course, although many had fallen asleep, the banquet could not end. Thus, the remaining ministers began to feast. Especially as they discovered that the table originally meant for twenty was now left for the remaining three to five of them, how could they not be excited? The dishes meant for twenty could now be entirely enjoyed by just three or five of them, how could they not be thrilled? Hence, they ate with abandon, feeling more and more delighted, even though their minds were still somewhat dizzy. The aroma of these dishes, their absolute deliciousness, instantly intoxicated them.

Beyond the palace, the commoners were just as delighted. Compared to the officials, enjoying meat was already quite substantial for them. Lin Yi thought that even if they were given stir-fried dishes, they might enjoy it but still not feel full.

For them, the lack of meat was the issue. So, once the meat entered their bellies, a sense of fullness and satisfaction followed. The most important aspect is that this wasn’t just the usual meat of society today, but pork brought by Lin Yi from the future. Of course, it wasn’t cooked by chefs from the future; even though there were many cooks there, they couldn’t have prepared so much meat.

These meats were prepared by current cooks, following Lin Yi’s instructions on how to cook them.

During this, the entire Capital City of Dayou Country submerged into a sea of cheers. Everyone indulged with a mouth shining with oil and pure joy, especially the children. Certain delicacies rarely seen by them during ordinary days, once in a year could they even eat a piece. Since the new Emperor ascended the throne, their situation improved somewhat, yet not to the extent of having daily meat. Thus, the meat in the eyes of the children was akin to a gift from heaven, leaving them eating indulgently. Their little stomachs bulged round, and their pockets filled with sweets, prepared by Lin Yi. Every child under the age of 16 could receive such sweets at the gate and collect a handful. This was beyond imagination, especially when seeing the colorful candy wrappers; the children felt they found a treasure, a sight never before seen. Even though paper wasn’t a rarity anymore, with Dayou Country’s workshops producing it, this doesn’t mean such vibrant, colorful wrappers were made without precedent; they were procured by Lin Yi’s procurement department from the future, costing no more than a dozen coins per pound.

To these children now, the meaning of these sweets was extraordinary. As they tasted these candies, their little eyes widened; this delicious sweetness was heartwarming, a taste never before experienced.

This wedding feast brought excitement not just to Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan, not only delighting the adults with meat, but most definitely exciting the children.

With candies in their left pocket, red envelopes from the ground in their right, bellies full, how could they not be excited?

At that moment, in every corner of the Capital City, there were children running about joyfully.

Their parents barely paid them attention, as losing children was never a concern in Capital City.

Besides, children these days are self-reliant, especially those from poorer families. Each child could find his way home, eliminating concerns of getting lost.

If hungry, it was simple; just finding anywhere supplying meat would allow them to feast, fueling further play and enjoyment.

Many children imagined how wonderful it would be if every day were like this. If the Emperor married daily, wouldn’t that be nice? If the Emperor took new brides every day, wouldn’t that be splendid?

Of course, though today was a joyful day for all, and a celebration for the entire Dayou Country, an old saying stands — some are happy while others grieve, much like the current situation.

Even though Capital City and the Imperial Palace were filled with joy, in some corner of the city, a person’s mood was unlike the outside, uninfected by the excitement. Rather, the more others rejoiced, the more discomforted this person felt.

Especially upon hearing children saying how nice it would be if the Emperor married daily, a deep sense of loss flashed in her eyes.

Children speak innocently; their wishes easily come true, but this person knows well, it’s impossible.

As for who this person is, who they are, and why their emotions contrast with the crowd’s?
