Liu Wei woke up very early and woke up even earlier than Anna.
The princess had already warned everyone that she would pay a visit to Wang Zheng's old house so everyone was waiting for her to arrange the last details, it would be the last moment she could see the progress of preparations in person.
Anna slowly opened the door to Liu Wei's room and could see the young omega just waiting for her so they could leave.
They walked with hurried steps towards the entrance of the palace where Chao Hong and Shi Lian were already waiting for them in the car.
Amidst the corridors of the palace near the exit, Liu Wei could see the queen's young secretary carrying some papers. The alpha gently approached and smiled at the two of them.
"Hello Miss Liu"
"Hello Huan Yang... Where is the queen?"
He glances at her watch so he can briefly calculate her location. "I believe she is now on a plane en route to the Muanshi Islands."
"Oh.. I thought she was on a date today"
"She has, Miss Yang Fan asked permission to have her meeting on one of the islands belonging to her country's territory. The queen agreed so now she is on her way."
"I see..."
Liu Wei felt her heart turn sour… That place was heaven on earth, beaches with white sand and the sea with clear water… So beautiful and worthy of Wang Zheng.
Yang Fan and Li Zhang, for the young princess were her biggest threats, they were both so independent and beautiful… It was hard for Liu Wei to compare herself to them… There was still no legacy to her name, while everyone else just displayed their vastness of achievements they had made over the years.
The young omega felt strange, she preferred to think of things that she would be useful to at that moment. There was still a lot of work ahead to be able to surprise Wang Zheng.
"Miss is leaving?"
"Yes, I'm going to the queen's old house to see how preparations are going."
"Understood. In fact, the queen asked me to deliver these medicines last night, but you hadn't arrived yet. Here they are."
"Thanks."
Liu Wei looked at the small bag with medicines and smiled, handed it to Anna and quickly got into the waiting car and sat in the back seat.
The young princess had already memorized the route and the menu of the two restaurants they frequented when she took that route.
It was already known to her that when she finally arrived at her destination she would be starving and many employees were already in the midst of a huge renovation from very early on, she bought several snacks and drinks for everyone.
Liu Wei ordered an egg salad sandwich with iced coffee for herself. Really delicious. Everyone there slept so little that the best way to feel comfortable was to eat delicious food and the young princess made a point of offering this to everyone who was helping her in this huge challenge.
Liu Wei only had a day and a half to get everything she needed.
She wasn't nervous, she didn't have time for that. Her free time was spent reading recipes that might satisfy the queen.
She calmly ate her little sandwich in the car while reading the Liu family's old recipes, her grandmother had a big book full of recipes and tricks for making any kind of food imaginable.
Grandma Liu's recipes were a family secret and Liu Wei was the only one who could replicate the recipes perfectly.
The young omega got out of the car and soon a crowd of people was present in search of breakfast and some took advantage of the short break to talk to Liu Wei and update her on the progress of everything.
When arriving at the house, the electrical system was almost finished and the carpentry responsible for strengthening the structure was almost finished.
The only thing that would be pending would be the table that would be ready at the last minute.
The hours flew by and when least expected it was time for the little princess to return to Wang's palace, so Anna would be responsible for staying to observe the rest of the work and she would return to the palace to continue with her to-do list. .
Now Liu Wei needed to meet the royal cook.
In the meantime.
Yang Fan's country was a huge archipelago with several islands of varying sizes. A country known for its traditional oriental culture and for being one of the few monarchies that did not suffer political shocks to the point of putting the throne at risk.
The Yang family was a strong family with military roots and when she assumed the throne this became more and more evident with the formation of the best army and navy in Eurasia. The paradisiacal and extremely attractive beaches attracted people from all over the world and it was a very strong tourist spot, creating opportunities for fishermen and local traders to thrive.
Muanshi lived for years in conflict with some neighboring countries and after the attack on Wang's country just over a decade ago, the relationship between the two nations became closer and more friendly.
The two countries had many enemies in common.
Wang Zheng could see the plane approaching the ground and the beautiful blue of the sea was highlighted in the landscape.
The queen never had the opportunity to travel to Muanshi and it was the first time she could observe the beauty of that country, she sighed happily, that really pleasant place to spend a long vacation.
The omega rarely used the real plane, but it was always ready for use.
One of the main features of Wang's country was that the main companies were owned by the royal family, this was done to avoid excessive tax increases for commoners and create employment opportunities for everyone. So airports, railways, factories… All branches had at least one real domain company.
If a count of all assets and property belonging to the Wang Zheng royal family were carried out, she would likely be titled as the richest woman on the continent. There were a lot of responsibilities and a lot of money, so there were a lot of people behind the queen helping her every day so she could maintain this huge empire.
Wang Zheng arrived at the airport and soon saw some people waiting for her, walked towards them and received a typical greeting.
The queen was soon informed that she would meet Yang Fan at the port near the airport and in less than ten minutes inside the car she could see several boats and ships at anchor on the horizon.
Yang Fan was waiting for her anxiously. She wore a bathing suit and had a funny brand of sunscreen on her cheeks.
The alpha greeted the queen with a kiss on her hand and guided her to her ship.
"Does Your Majesty have a problem with seasickness on the high seas?"
"No."
"great!"
Yang Fan asked the queen to change into her bathing suits and she quickly went to the ship's bathroom and changed her clothes. The alpha couldn't hide her excitement at being with Wang Zheng and released somewhat uncontrolled amounts of her pheromones. The smell of the sea mixed with that of pine.
The queen felt funny to see the future queen of Muanshi so nervous in her presence, it was really cute.
A slight blush marked Yang Fan's face making her more beautiful. She was a really beautiful and attractive woman, her muscles looked strong and her skin fair. Her pheromone was soft and pleasant… A great alpha.
Wang Zheng sighed in her heart… She didn't want a great alpha.
For a brief moment she found herself missing Liu Wei, she wanted to see and touch her.
Yang Fan pulls the queen out of her deep thoughts with a beautiful smile and an invitation. "Would the queen like to take a dip? I'll be her instructor for a day, how about that?"
The queen replied with a smile and nodded in shy animation. She didn't have many friends and she hadn't even gone out many times just to have fun, everything there seemed new and interesting.
The alpha prepared the material so they could make a dive and they would spend good hours watching the sea floor.
Liu Wei was back at the palace and this time only accompanied by Shi Lian who was driving the car. They talked excitedly about some things from their childhood and adolescence, the beta felt very comfortable with the princess and always allowed herself to talk freely about any subject.
"Ready, princess…"
The car finally stopped and Liu Wei stretched to reach the door and get out… Until she remembered something. "Thank you Shi Lian… I want to ask you something."
The beta looked curious and turned around completely so she could look directly at Liu Wei. "Yea?"
"Would it be possible for me to get a car tomorrow?"
The guard laughed funny, after all, Miss Liu Wei didn't have the face of someone who drives cars. She was a great box of surprises. "Can you drive?"
"Clear!"
Liu Wei was very fond of her freedom and anything that could bring her a sense of independence she would like to learn. She loves to cook her own food, drive her car and roam freely around her own house.
Shi Luan smiled and nodded. "Well, I guess that's all right, but we can't let her go out unaccompanied."
"Can't I go in a car alone with the queen and you in another car?"
"Yes, I think it is possible."
"Great!"
Liu Wei didn't know what Wang Zheng's attitude would be like when they were together, they hadn't been able to keep in touch since when she was in the infirmary... she felt very anxious to see the queen again and wanted to be alone with her as much as possible.
Liu Wei received a small map of the palace made by Anna. It was her first time walking freely through the corridors, but it was still scary to walk through so many corridors in a row, that place was immense.
The young princess followed the fragrant smell of food that appeared in the air, her belly was already turning inside her. She was starving.
The royal kitchen was a large industrial kitchen prepared to support the large production of food during royal banquets. Upon entering you could hear knives cutting and spoons hitting pans. The sound of fire was loud and melodic.
A woman approached the princess, she was probably the royal boss. "How can I help you?"
Liu Wei smiled gently. "My name is Liu Wei, I am participating in Bloody Spring…"
A sweet, childlike voice came into her ears. Chun Lei was there. "Weiwei!"
"Lelei! How are you, little one?"
"I am fine! Is your foot feeling better?"
"Yea! I said it didn't hurt anymore..."
The small child hugged Liu Wei and clung to her neck and was lifted completely by the omega. The chef watched that scene with an astonished expression… Her daughter was hugging a princess… She didn't know whether to scold or simply question Chun Lei.
"Chun Lei, where did you meet Princess Liu Wei?"
"She's that friend I told Mom."
The woman turned as red as a pepper, because of her daughter the princess was almost seriously injured, she had the immediate reflex to bow to the omega and which was quickly avoided by Liu Wei herself.
"Princess… Forgive me, my daughter had no intention of taking you this far…"
"There's nothing to be sorry about… Your daughter helped me a lot, don't worry about it."
Liu Wei's sympathetic smile soothed the young lady's heart, but she couldn't help but worry about her daughter's imprudence.
The little child refused to leave the princess's arms and now even played with a few strands of the older's hair while being completely supported by her. "Leilei, is today your picnic with the queen?"
"No, tomorrow, I'm renovating the place you took me to, then we'll have a picnic there, right?!"
"Serious?
"Clear! You are my friend, aren't you?"
"Yea!"
The child smiled excitedly and in excitement she needed to tell all her friends that Princess Liu Wei would invite her for a picnic. She finally came down from the princess's arms and Mrs Chun couldn't hide her relief to see her daughter finally leaving the princess alone.
They watched the child's excitement and Liu Wei soon broke the silence between her and the head chef.
"Ms. Chun… Could you give me a little space in your kitchen?"
"Can you cook?"
The princess smiled with amusement, they were always surprised that she knew how to cook. It was so rare for princesses to cook?!
"I know a little bit, I'm going on a picnic and I intend to cook everything…"
Madam Chun loved picnics and just thinking about preparing one made her feel happy.
"Sure, can I help you with something?"
"I plan to make sweet and sour pork sandwiches… There is a recipe in my country where we leave the meat in the seasoning for 24 hours… We cook and then shred the meat… I plan to take the shredded beef and assemble the sandwiches on site…"
Liu Wei had read the recipes so many times that she could make them all with her eyes closed and all she needed was a stove and the ingredients.
"May I accompany you during the preparation?
"Clear…"
Madam Chun was pleased to see new recipes so for her it would be a great experience and she might even learn the recipes and make them for the queen in the near future.
Liu Wei had already decided on her menu and had in mind all the steps she should follow. "I also want to make a strawberry cake with a sour strawberry syrup."
"The queen's favorite..."
"Yes."
The omega felt satisfied, cooking alongside the chef would definitely be fruitful, she would know without much doubt whether or not the food would be to the queen's liking when she tasted it.
"Tomorrow I need to make a batch of breads… Can you tell me what the queen's favorite fruits are?"
"Of course, her favorite fruits are: strawberries, blackberries, peaches, and grapes."
Liu Wei was always walking around with her little notebook and making various notes. She unhesitatingly jotted down the list of fruits the queen liked.
If her notebook was seen, several sheets would be noticed that summarized the queen's tastes and characteristics. Liu Wei studied her closely while still not being able to be fully close to her, and writing helped her to better understand Wang Zheng's personality.
Lunch time had finally arrived and Liu Wei couldn't hide her hunger.
"That's nice! Can I have lunch with you?"
"But princess…"
"Don't worry, I'm here as a humble servant of the queen, don't think too much about titles..."
"It's all right…"
Liu Wei knows the formalities involving commoners and royalty, but she didn't like being treated like a crystal doll. She preferred it when people could be comfortable and be themselves, it was more natural and pleasant.
After a long afternoon of diving, the Queen needed to return home.
Spending the day with the alpha was one of the most fun experiences she'd had in years, she hoped that after Bloody Spring she could maintain the good relationship and build a friendship,
Yang Fan accompanies Wang Zheng to the airport, the queen had not had time to shower or touch up her makeup, but she without makeup had smooth, sweet lines, really stunning. In just over half an hour they were already in the VIP area of the airport and the queen would take the opportunity to change her clothes and put some makeup on her face, she needed to quickly return to Wang's country for a meeting.
When she finished her brief preparations, her plane was ready to take her back. She quickly said goodbye to the young alpha who had accompanied her all day and left.
Yang Fan would not return with the queen, she had issues to resolve in her country, but she hoped that the queen would see her with sweeter eyes from today.
The queen looked at the blue landscape full of white clouds and sighed. Tomorrow at the same time she would be with Liu Wei… She couldn't contain the happiness that surged through her heart, she was really looking forward to it.
She took some papers and started to analyze them, the country didn't stop just because the queen was traveling. There was much work waiting for her.
Liu Wei spent the whole day cooking, Chef Chun was very surprised by the princess' skills, she could easily open a successful restaurant and her food would definitely please the queen's refined palate.
Omega received some updates on the renovation progress while it was still in the kitchen. Anna sent several messages with photos and videos, it was a great relief to see that everything was going according to plan.
The place was getting more and more beautiful and comfortable.
The work of the electricians and the first group of carpenters had been finished that afternoon… The cleaning would be finished later that night and the last thing to be ready would be the table she had ordered, but she was also very positive about that.
She sighed happily and asked Anna to feed everyone good food to thank them for their hard work.
Anna smiled with satisfaction as she read the message from her boss and then provided what was asked of her.
The queen arrived at the palace just after the first dusk and in a few minutes she was already in her office with the representatives of the people's parliament and the merchants' council.
There were strong tensions between the traditional councils and the newly formed parliament, they constantly tried to compete for power and thus prove their strength.
The queen tried to lessen the differences between them, but she could not fully control the ambitions of each group.
The meeting dragged on for several hours and after much discussion the queen managed to reach a compromise between the two sides… she sighed in relief when she saw them leaving… What a long day.
She just wanted to be able to quickly shower and go to sleep.
The big day had finally arrived! Although Liu Wei felt that with each new dawn she was waking up earlier and earlier and her body was getting more and more sore and exhausted... Now she could feel the anxiety coursing through her body and the adrenaline wanting to force her to get up and start. your day's activities.
The little princess the day before had already agreed with Anna that she would go directly to Wang Zheng's old house as soon as she woke up and Liu Wei would have her breakfast in the kitchen and take the opportunity to finish preparing the remaining food.
Liu Wei had been in college for awhile and she cooked for herself very often and she really enjoyed making different and complex dishes. But a picnic called for easy and tasty food, with the exception of wine and fresh fruit there was nothing she didn't prepare with her own hands and with almost no help, so even if it was a simple meal it would be the best food possible.
Chun Lei was excited to eat the princess' food and she made sure to make enough food for her picnic and to distribute among the staff.
Mrs Chun spent all her days inside the huge kitchen feeling the most diverse smells and flavors, but the homey touch of cooking for someone in a festive mood was really rejuvenating. Despite knowing the young princess was an omega, she rooted in her heart for her to surprise the queen and conquer her.
Liu Wei was definitely a good girl.
