After Lin En said that, Liu Fuqing and Situ Feiyu both felt that it looked more and more like the girl. They carefully examined the girl sitting in the crowd. She was taking someone's pulse. Her small face had the naivety of a young girl. Her nose and mouth were very small, and she looked petite and delicate.
Her long, black hair cascaded smoothly down her back, and her clear eyes were free of any impurities, like the finest jade, without a single flaw.
Xi Xizhi looked very different when she was seven or eight years old compared to now. The former was slightly chubby with a round face, making her look especially cute, while the latter was a beauty in the making, with a typical oval face. Unlike glamorous beauties, she looked very ethereal and otherworldly.
"Has Your Majesty taken a fancy to this woman? She is quite beautiful," Liu Fuqing said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Just look at the clothes that girl is wearing. You can tell she's a commoner. How could a commoner be worthy of His Majesty?"
Lynn's thoughts were always different from the other two. He kept staring into the girl's eyes and said, "This servant has finally guessed what kind of beauty His Majesty likes. It must be those deep blue eyes. They are so similar to Miss Xi's."
The little sable's eyes are azure blue, as are Miss Xi's, and even the girl in front of us is no exception.
It seems His Majesty does indeed have some unusual hobbies.
Situ Feiyu secretly remembered these words. Next time, he would definitely find a few blue-eyed beauties to present to His Majesty. Perhaps His Majesty would really take a liking to them, and then he would surely be rewarded.
After working continuously for half an hour, Xi Xizhi had treated all the refugees on this mountain.
As soon as she withdrew her hand, it was suddenly enveloped by a large hand.
Before she could react, An Honghan pulled her into his arms.
Lynn winked at Lord Liu and Lord Situ, silently saying, "See? His Majesty has definitely fallen for that girl; he's already holding her in his arms."
Liu Fuqing and Situ Feiyu were unusually in agreement. They exchanged a glance with Lin En, and what else was there to say? With so many eyes watching, pulling her into their arms was tantamount to declaring ownership.
This time, upon returning to the palace, it seems there will be another Imperial Concubine.
There were at least several thousand people on the entire hill. Being stared at by everyone, Xi Xizhi felt a little embarrassed and buried her head in An Honghan's arms, trying her best to cover her face.
This gesture undoubtedly tells everyone that they are mutually in love! Doesn't it?!
I never expected that His Majesty would be able to hook up with such a beautiful young woman after only one day in Fengzhou. How much charm must one possess to do that?
Lin En coughed twice and walked up to An Honghan. "Master, Commander Tan has been waiting for you for a long time. Shall we go to the dam to take a look later?"
The weather was perfectly clear just past noon, ideal for conducting inspections.
The refugees have been stationed here for quite some time, so the wild rabbits and deer in the area have been almost completely hunted out. They have to go much further to find anything to hunt.
Now that they had arrived in Fengzhou, An Honghan and his companions certainly couldn't go out to hunt wild game themselves.
Just as it was time to eat, the military commander Tan Hai, holding two wild rabbits in his hands, walked towards them.
The commander of the Imperial Guards smiled somewhat foolishly and shouted at them, "Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish the next word, Liu Fuqing glared at him and said, "Call me 'Master' like we do."
Tan Hai belatedly realized that he had almost let something slip, and immediately understood that Lord Situ was wary of the little beauty sitting next to His Majesty.
Aren't they from the same group? He had just thought she was a woman brought out by His Majesty.
"Master, we have nothing to offer you, please don't mind."
"How could you be surprised?" Liu Fuqing stroked his beard.
These days they've been living on dry rations, so being able to eat wild rabbits is already a blessing.
He and Situ Feiyu were able to become prime ministers because of their own abilities, and this hardship was not a problem for them.
An Honghan remained silent, but gestured to Lin En to go and help.
Lynn's position as head steward was not in vain; he could handle almost every little thing.
Just as I took out the prepared seasonings from the carriage, Tan Hai had already shaved the rabbit's fur clean and was roasting it on a tree branch.
Lynn squatted down beside him and took a stick from his hand. "Let me help you. Roasted rabbit needs some Sichuan peppercorn powder to make it more fragrant."
The firewood burned brightly, and when the flames touched the rabbit meat, they sizzled and quickly roasted the rabbit to a golden brown, releasing a fragrant aroma.
The rabbit meat was cooked in no time.
Lynn broke off a rabbit leg and handed it to An Honghan, saying, "Master, please have this."
To everyone's surprise, An Honghan took the hand and handed it to the girl next to him without even glancing at it.
Lynn and the others saw this but remained silent, only thinking to themselves, "His Majesty seems quite fond of this young girl. Could it be that he truly intends to bring her into his harem?"
After that, Lynn handed him a rabbit leg, and An Honghan began to eat.
While the rabbit was still roasting, the aroma had already made Xi Xizhi's mouth water. Now, holding a golden-brown roasted rabbit leg in her hand, she had no other concerns. Heaven knows how many days it had been since she had eaten meat!
She's a carnivore; she can't live without meat!
Taking a bite of the sizzling rabbit meat, Xi Xizhi chewed a few times and found it incredibly delicious.
Perhaps because she was really craving it, Xi Xizhi took another bite of meat before patting her stomach contentedly.
Awesome! It feels so good to be full and satisfied...
After they finished their meal, the group mounted their horses and headed towards the dam.
When he saw His Majesty riding a horse with the young girl, Situ Feiyu finally couldn't help but say, "Master, we are on important business. It seems a bit inappropriate to have this young lady come along."
An Honghan slowly turned around and stared at Situ Feiyu.
His eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth. "From now on, she is mine."
Although they had guessed beforehand that His Majesty seemed to like this woman, they still found it hard to believe when His Majesty said it himself.
Your Majesty, isn't it too hasty to get to know each other after only half a day?
Regardless of what happened, Situ Feiyu and Liu Fuqing always kept a close eye on this girl who had appeared out of nowhere.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Xi Xizhi sat in front of An Honghan, with his arms around her. When no one was looking, she pinched him hard.
Damn it, this guy is shameless! He's constantly proclaiming that she's his woman?
I told my master before that it made me lose face.
Now, they're even saying this to Situ Feiyu and the others...
Xi Xizhi thought sadly that today must be the most miserable day of her life, but why did a hint of sweetness always well up in her heart when An Honghan said those words?
I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out.
