Emperor Zhaojing gave her a complicated look, but still comforted her, "It's already quite good that you've managed to grill fish to this extent for your first time. It's alright, your father won't blame you." But the taste in her mouth... why does it taste a little strange? It's half-cooked, and the taste is really odd.
Rong Qingqing, who was standing nearby, heard this and exchanged a glance with Shangguan Yanran, both feeling somewhat helpless.
While they were grilling the fish, Feng Xin insisted on grilling it herself. Just then, Emperor Zhaojing suddenly arrived. She ran over before they could even call her back. Seeing how much Emperor Zhaojing wanted to eat it, they dared not say anything more.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The two stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Zhaojing, and then bowed to Feng Mo, saying, "Greetings, Third Prince."
"No need for formalities." Emperor Zhaojing immediately became amiable upon seeing the two.
Feng Mo's gaze fell on Rong Qingqing. She was wearing a light green dress today, which made her face look even whiter and more delicate. Even standing next to Shangguan Yanran, she was not inferior at all, but rather more attractive. In particular, her bright eyes seemed to be filled with tiny sparkles of light, shimmering and captivating.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Just then, a figure blocked his view.
He looked up and saw that it was Xie Jingrun, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Xie Jingrun is truly detestable; why is he everywhere?
Xie Jingrun didn't actually notice Feng Mo's unusual behavior. He just saw Rong Qingqing standing there so delicately and subconsciously didn't want others to see her.
But even though he was standing right in front of her, this brat seemed to ignore him completely, not even giving him a glance.
Rong Qingqing naturally saw Xie Jingrun, but thinking about what he had done, she was extremely annoyed and naturally didn't want to look at him.
"Madam Xie, what delicious food have you roasted?" When Emperor Zhaojing saw the fragrant pheasants and rabbits roasting over the fire, his stomach grew even hungrier, but seeing that they hadn't made any move, he had to ask them himself.
Through several encounters, Rong Qingqing had roughly understood Emperor Zhaojing's foodie nature. Hearing his words, she knew he was craving food, but she said calmly, "If Your Majesty is not busy, please sit for a while. We will roast the pheasant and rabbit and then invite Your Majesty to taste them."
These words were exactly what Emperor Zhaojing wanted to hear. He nodded with a smile, "Very well, I've had a tiring hunt, so I'll rest here for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, quick-thinking guards laid out mats next to the fire.
Emperor Zhaojing then took his seat.
"You must all be tired. Don't just stand there, sit down," he said to his subordinates.
Most of those accompanying us on the hunt today are military officers.
After hearing Emperor Zhaojing's words, everyone disregarded formalities and sat down on the ground.
Just then, Li Mu returned carrying a burlap sack.
Seeing Emperor Zhaojing and the others sitting around the fire, he was momentarily stunned.
When Rong Qingqing saw him return, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Guard Li, have you brought everything?"
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded, handed the items to Rong Qingqing, and then knelt on one knee to pay his respects to Emperor Zhaojing and Feng Mo.
"Get up." Emperor Zhaojing smiled, finding the sight of sitting around the fire quite novel, and with roasted meat just around the corner, he was all smiles at everyone. "Li Mu, what's in the bag?"
He had just finished asking when he saw Rong Qingqing take out corn, sweet potatoes, and various sauces from the sack.
