Chapter 73: Stupid People Have Stupid Blessings
Xu Muhua has finished eating the sunflower seeds here, but others still have some, but they are not very fresh anymore. They definitely cannot be used by the emperor. The waiter took some trouble to get the freshest ones, washed them, and gave them to Xu Muhua.
Xu Muhua accepted his fate and sat in front of the grill again and started grilling seriously.
In the end, not only the emperor, but also the queen and Concubine Zhang tasted it.As for the others, Xu Muhua pretended to be dumbfounded.
She doesn't want to be a real barbecue chef!There is no way to burn it for the emperor, queen and others!Others will not be tolerated!
Seeing that the emperor had tasted it, the others naturally followed, including the queen, Concubine Zhang, and several concubines.The other ministers who followed finally took action themselves.
As a result, the results of today's hunting were eaten up, and there was not much left!
Xu Muhua was secretly speechless after hearing this.
The emperor was very happy and said that everyone would continue to work hard tomorrow.
After he was satisfied, the emperor was ready to reward Xu Muhua.
Xu Muhua hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "The emperor can take a fancy to the craftsmanship of a civilian girl, and it is already a great honor for a civilian girl to reward her. How can she still ask for a reward from the emperor? If the emperor really wants to reward a civilian girl, it is better to give it to the civilian girl tomorrow. What about some prey? After all, folk girls really don’t know how to hunt. Based on folk girls’ own words, folk girls might starve.”
Xu's mother pulled her daughter behind her and said, "My little girl is speaking openly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand, "Hey, Madam Xu, don't be nervous. I think Miss Xu is a straightforward person, quite similar to the demeanor of the Duke when he was young! Since Miss Xu has said so, then I will Yes!"
Xu Muhua hurriedly got out from behind Xu's mother and said with a grin: "Thanks to the emperor for your gift!"
After saying that, she turned to look at Xu's mother and said happily: "Mom, tomorrow we will have barbecue again! My little brother is useless and can't hunt. As the emperor's words are here, my daughter will bake it for my mother tomorrow!" "
Xu Nan shouted unconvinced: "Sister, how can you say that about your younger brother? I also hunted a rabbit today, okay? You just said that the rabbit meat is delicious! How come you don't fall out after eating it? Do you recognize someone?"
"Shut up you!"
The emperor and the queen couldn't help laughing when they saw this. The emperor said a few words to Duke Cheng and the Crown Prince before leading the queen and several concubines away.
The others ate what they should eat and played when they should have played after having been arguing for so long. They all held their stomachs, while Xu Muhua held his forehead.
After all the irrelevant people had left, Xu's mother stretched out her hand and poked Xu Muhua's forehead, laughing and scolding: "You are the only one who knows how to do this, and you dare to do whatever you want in front of the emperor!"
Xu Muhua just pretended to be innocent, "Oh, mother, isn't this the paddock? Then there is no need to be as rigid as in the capital. It's rare to relax, and why do you still remember so many rules? Besides, the emperor is Mingjun, you would not embarrass a little girl like me over such a trivial matter! Mom, you just think too much!"
Xu's mother shook her head and didn't know how to tell her that being with a king is like being with a tiger. The emperor's thoughts were not something she, a little girl, could figure out.
But I don't know if she is a fool who has good luck. Not only did she not anger the emperor, she also got a reward.
It was her heart that frightened her from time to time, and she felt like she was about to find a doctor!
Xu Muhua originally wanted to eat something, but after working for most of the day, being grilled by charcoal fire for most of the day, and being smoked with oil for most of the day, he seemed to have no appetite.
So she asked Pomegranate and Wu'er to clean up, and called other servants who had been busy for a long time to come over and asked them to bake the remaining ingredients themselves.
She helped Xu's mother back to the tent.
Xu Nan was walking behind and then looked back as if he remembered something. Sure enough, he saw his second sister lagging behind. He shouted carelessly: "Second sister, walk faster! The eldest sister and Mom, please go ahead, otherwise if you fall behind later and get scared, don’t blame me!"
Xu Jinyu responded and quickened his pace to catch up, but he seemed a little distracted.
Although there was light around her, it was still quite dim anyway. Xu Nan didn't notice any difference in her expression and only urged her to walk faster.
Xu Jinyu said half-truthfully: "A'nan only has the eldest sister in her heart, and she can't let go of me as the second sister. She keeps talking about the eldest sister."
"No way, eldest sister, second sister are all my sisters! We are a family and we will always be a family!"
"Then why did you only focus on talking to the eldest sister tonight and ignore me, the second sister?"
"Second sister, the eldest sister and I were having a barbecue, and you didn't like it. You said the smoke was too much. And you didn't even eat the skewers grilled by the eldest sister!" Xu Nan said regretfully.
Xu Jinyu curled her lips secretly.
She didn't know what was so rare about these, but in her opinion, they were just unattractive.Fortunately, Xu Muhua had the nerve to feed it to the Emperor and the Queen, and he was not afraid of the Emperor's censure.
Maybe the emperor only praised her a few words for the sake of his father and eldest brother, but she took it seriously and was not ashamed! The emperor also said that she had the demeanor of her father when he was young, but she was not his biological child!
Xu Jinyu advised earnestly: "Anan, don't eat too much. I heard that the eldest sister wants to bake tomorrow night. I think eating too much of these things is not good for your health. You are still growing. If What should I do if I feel uncomfortable after eating it?”
Leave it all to the cook, why don't they just eat it after it's done?They have to do everything themselves, and they are not poor people.
Xu Nan responded casually: "Second sister, I understand."
Xu Jinyu only thought that he had promised her, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
The first day of hunting was peaceful except for the incident involving Princess Qingning. Everyone had a very happy time. The excitement in the camp lasted until late and then gradually quieted down. Everyone slowly entered Dreamland.
The next few days were uneventful and everything went so well that Concubine Zhang began to wonder if she had been tricked by Xu Muhua!
Xu Muhua was very calm.
Wouldn't it be best if nothing happened?Although if something goes wrong, Concubine Zhang and the Fifth Prince will both benefit, but if nothing goes wrong, no one will suffer any loss!It's always better to be cautious, as careful sailing will only last forever.
In the blink of an eye, this autumn hunting time is coming to an end.
These days have been uneventful, and everyone has gained a lot. The most eye-catching one is the fifth prince.His grades are the best, and it can be seen to the naked eye that the emperor is satisfied with him.
The emperor was also very happy and rewarded many people one after another. The hunting ended perfectly on the last day. Everyone only needed to dress up and break camp and return the next day.
