Chapter 16 Is Miss Xu here?
There were sounds coming one after another in the training ground. Shen Yu looked at the well-trained soldiers under his command and nodded with satisfaction.
A man should be loyal to his country. Once he joins the army, he should serve the country. Therefore, the soldiers are full of enthusiasm when they start training. They plunge into it headfirst and time passes quickly.
It was almost time for lunch, but the soldiers did not feel hungry at all. It was not until Chen Yu called for a stop that they stopped, reluctantly.
The soldiers in the training ground left in an orderly manner.
"Where's Miss Xu?"
Except for the time he met Xu Zhao just now, Xu Zhao never appeared in front of him again.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it." Fang Xuren said, tilting his head.
Xu Zhao was able to move around the military camp so freely, of course, with Shen Yu's permission.
A soldier quickly ran to Fang Xuren and whispered something.
Fang Xuren bowed, "Your Majesty, Miss Xu is cooking in the kitchen."
"She can also cook?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. Xu Zhao could tell at a glance that she was a girl who was raised with great care. All the ladies in the capital were novice cooks who would at most make some snacks in the kitchen.
"Your Majesty, since Miss Xu was able to come back to life, she is definitely not an ordinary lady. I think she must have some extraordinary qualities."
"Is the little tent that I asked you to arrange for her this morning ready?"
Since he had promised to arrange a separate accommodation for Xu Zhao last night, he naturally had to fulfill his promise. Chen Yu handed the matter over to Fang Xuren early in the morning.
Fang Xuren is a prudent person, and as long as Shen Yu tells him to do something, he will do his best to complete it.
"It has been arranged and set up properly. The tent will be placed next to your Highness."
If you have doubts about someone, keep that person under your nose; one day the truth will be revealed.
Chen Yu walked down the steps slowly and ordered, "Go and call the person over, take her to see the prepared tents, and if she is not satisfied, try to satisfy her."
Perhaps thinking about how Xu Zhao had just gotten up and strolled around the barracks when he was forced to cook, Shen Yu inexplicably felt amused, "Since you've worked so hard to cook for such a long time, let's go and try it to see how it tastes."
Fang Xuren, on the other hand, looked serious. "Then I will ask someone to ask which dishes were made by Miss Xu."
As he said this, he raised his hand and prepared to call a soldier over.
"Hey," Chen Yu stopped and looked back at Fang Xuren, who stopped him, saying, "No, it would be too much fun if we knew in advance. Besides, you and I have been eating the food in the military camp for so many years, and there are only a few cooks, and there are only a few dishes that change every day. Compared to the dishes made by Miss Xu, they should be easy to distinguish."
Since the prince has said so, Fang Xuren will naturally obey.
He called the man who had been working for him and said to him, "Go to the kitchen and bring Miss Xu to the tent that has been arranged for her. Let her see if there is anything missing."
"yes."
The subordinate clasped his fists and bowed, then left with doubts.
This morning, Deputy General Fang suddenly asked him to prepare a tent for a girl, and it had to be close to the prince's tent. At first he was confused, but later when he was having breakfast he found out that a cook had entered the prince's tent last night.
It’s a pity that he has never seen this cook. If he goes to look for her now, he will be confused. He can only wait and see if Miss Xu can come forward and go with him.
…
"Is Miss Xu here?"
A loud male voice sounded in the kitchen. Everyone in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and looked up at the person coming at the door.
Zhang Sancao was the first to react. She excitedly pulled Xu Zhaodi to the front and said, "Here, here! Junye, what do you want to talk to our Zhaodi about?"
Zhang Sancao didn't hear clearly that the person said Xu instead of Xu.
It's just that the pronunciations of these two surnames are similar. Even if no one was talking in the kitchen, there were still other noises. In addition, she had already formed a preconceived idea and thought that the person the military officer was looking for was Xu Zhaodi.
Zhang Sancao suddenly leaned forward, and the person sent by Fang Xuren frowned and took a step back.
"The prince has arranged a separate tent for you and ordered me to take you there. Please pack your things and follow me."
The man looked at Xu Zhaodi, who was pulled over by Zhang Sancao, and complained in his heart: This morning I heard from the brother who was on guard last night that the cook in the prince's tent was as beautiful as a flower, and she was obviously a lady from a noble family. Now he sees that she is plain-looking and a little timid, which is completely different from what he heard.
It seems that it is time to ask those brothers who are on night watch to see a doctor. With poor eyesight, how can they guard the tent for the prince?
The visitor had no idea that he had found the wrong person and could only blame his brother for having made a mistake.
When Xu Zhaodi saw the prince suddenly summoned her, she was suddenly panicked. She had only seen the prince from afar in the corner before. At that moment, she was attracted by the handsome prince. However, she had no contact with the prince since then.
Now, she had just said a few casual words in the kitchen, but she was summoned by the prince and a tent was arranged for her.
The prince has been stationed at the border for many years, and the people in the border towns all say that the prince is kind and loves the people like his own children. Could it be that what she said in the kitchen was known to the prince, and the prince did this to cooperate with her?
Xu Zhaodi wiped her wet hands on her apron, and Zhang Sancao considerately helped her untie the apron behind her.
She nervously followed the soldier out of the kitchen. She felt happy and nervous all the way.
Xu Zhao knew the whole story. After saying goodbye to Liu Dazhuang, she followed him out with her lunch box, keeping a distance from the two people in front of her.
Erya, who stayed in the kitchen, was completely confused. She had just clearly heard the military camp calling Miss Xu, so how come Xu Zhaodi was taken away?
However, the prince's affairs were not something a little cook like her should be involved in. She silently picked up the mutton soup that Xu Zhao had served her and drank it in small sips.
The mutton soup has a rich and mellow taste, which makes people feel the fatness of mutton and the fragrance of mutton bones. The simple seasoning combination still has a rich taste. Every sip contains a delicious taste that is endless aftertaste.
Even if Erya drank slowly, she would eventually finish this small bowl of soup. She smacked her lips, savoring the taste left at the corners of her lips.
The military camp was very large. If Xu Zhao hadn’t followed the two people in front, he would have been afraid that he would not have been able to find the way back.
She followed Xu Zhaodi and the military officer who led the way, and soon arrived at Chen Yu's tent.
The two soldiers at the door had seen Xu Zhao before, and did not stop her when she went in.
The prince has instructed that as long as there is no meeting in the tent, there is no need to control Miss Xu's coming in and out.
What's more, the prince was not in the tent at all at that time.
Xu Zhao placed the lunch box on the desk and called out to the screen inside, "Prince, it's time to eat!"
After shouting twice but no one paid attention, Xu Zhao walked inside and saw that there was no one behind the screen. It seemed that Chen Yu was not there. She walked out of the tent and asked, "It's noon. Hasn't your prince come back yet? Where did he go?"
The two people at the door showed Xu Zhao the way to Chen Yu, and Xu Zhao immediately took the food box and walked towards the small tent that Chen Yu had prepared for her.
As soon as I got closer, I heard the sound of a teacup smashing to the ground.
