Chapter 73: A Fool Has

His Own Luck Xu Muhua had finished eating the aphrodisiac grass, but others still had some, but they were not fresh anymore, and they certainly could not be used by the emperor. The attendant took some time to get the freshest ones delivered, washed them, and handed them to Xu Muhua.

Xu Muhua resigned herself to sitting in front of the grill and grilling them seriously.

In the end, not only the emperor, but also the empress and Concubine Zhang tasted them. As for the others, Xu Muhua played dumb.

She didn't want to be a real grilling master! There was no way she could grill for the emperor, the empress, and others! I'm sorry I wouldn't serve the others!

Seeing that the emperor had tasted it, the others naturally followed suit, including the empress, Concubine Zhang, and several concubines. The other ministers who followed him finally started grilling themselves.

In this way, today's hunting results were eaten up, and there was not much left!

Xu Muhua was secretly shocked when he heard it.

The emperor was very happy and said that everyone would continue to work hard tomorrow.

After satisfying his craving, the emperor was satisfied and prepared to reward Xu Muhua.

Xu Muhua shook her head and waved her hands quickly, "It is a great honor for me that Your Majesty is pleased with my craftsmanship and is willing to show me favor. How can I ask for Your Majesty's favor? If Your Majesty really wants to show me favor, you might as well give me some prey tomorrow. After all, I really don't know how to hunt. If I rely on myself, I'm afraid I will starve."

Xu's mother pulled her daughter behind her and said, "My daughter is outspoken. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hands, "Hey, Madam Guogong, don't be nervous. I think Miss Xu is a straightforward person, and she is quite like the young Duke. "Ah! Since Miss Xu has said so, then I agree!"

Xu Muhua hurriedly got out from behind Xu's mother and grinned, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

After that, she turned around and looked at Xu's mother and said happily, "Mom, we will have barbecue to eat again tomorrow! I am useless and can't hunt. With the emperor's golden words, your daughter will roast it for you tomorrow!"

Xu Nan shouted unconvincedly, "Sister, how can you say that about your own brother. I also hunted a rabbit today, okay? You just said that the rabbit meat was delicious! Why did you turn your face and ignore me after eating it?"

"Shut up!" The

emperor and the empress and everyone else couldn't help laughing when they saw this. The emperor mentioned a few words about Duke Cheng and the prince, and then led the empress and several concubines away.

The others had eaten and played after such a long time, and they all held their stomachs, which made Xu Muhua hold her forehead.

After the irrelevant people left, Xu's mother poked Xu Muhua's forehead and scolded with a smile: "You are so smart, you dare to do it in front of the emperor!"

Xu Muhua just pretended to be innocent, "Oh, mother, isn't this in the hunting ground? Then there is no need to be as restrained as in the capital. It's a rare opportunity to relax, why do you always remember so many rules? Besides, the emperor is a wise monarch, and he won't embarrass a little girl like me for such a small matter! Mother, you just think too much!"

Xu's mother shook her head, not knowing how to tell her that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and the emperor's mind is not something a little girl like her can figure out.

But maybe it was because she was lucky that she didn't anger the emperor and even got a reward.

But she was so dirty that she was scared from time to time. She felt that she was about to find a doctor!

Xu Muhua wanted to eat something, but after working for most of the day, being roasted by charcoal and smoked by oil, she didn't seem to have any appetite.

So she asked Shi Liu and Wu Er to clean up, and called other servants who had also been busy for most of the day to come over and let them roast the remaining ingredients themselves.

She helped Xu's mother back to the tent.

Xu Nan followed behind and then he seemed to remember something and looked back. Sure enough, he saw his second sister falling behind. He shouted carelessly: "Second sister, walk faster! Big sister and mother have walked ahead, otherwise if you fall behind and get scared, don't blame me!"

Xu Jinyu responded and quickened her pace to catch up, but she looked a little absent-minded.

Although there was light around, it was still quite dim anyway. Xu Nan didn't notice that she looked strange, and just urged her to walk faster.

Xu Jinyu said half-truthfully: "Anan only has the eldest sister in his heart, and can't let go of me, the second sister. He just keeps talking about the eldest sister and the second sister."

"No way, the eldest sister and the second sister are both my sisters! We are a family, and will always be a family!"

"Then why did you only talk to the eldest sister tonight and ignore me, the second sister?"

"Second sister, it was my eldest sister and I who were grilling, and you didn't like it, and you said the smoke was too big. And you didn't even eat the skewers that the eldest sister grilled!"

Xu Nan said with regret.

Xu Jinyu pouted secretly.

I don't know what's so rare about these. In her opinion, they are not presentable. Xu Muhua was so embarrassed that he gave them to the emperor and the empress, and he was not afraid of the emperor's blame.

Perhaps the emperor only praised her for the sake of his father and elder brother, but she took it seriously and was not ashamed! The emperor also said that she had the demeanor of his father when he was young, and she was not his biological child!

Xu Jinyu advised earnestly: "Anan, don't eat too much. I heard from my elder sister that we have to bake it tomorrow night. I think eating too much of these things is not good for your health. You are still growing up. What if you feel uncomfortable after eating?"

Leave it to the chef. Can't they eat it directly after it is done? Why do they have to do it themselves? They are not those poor people.

Xu Nan replied casually: "Second sister, I know."

Xu Jinyu just thought that he had promised her, and finally showed a little smile on her face.

The first day of the hunt was peaceful except for the incident with Princess Qingning. Everyone was very happy. The excitement in the camp continued until late at night before gradually quieting down and everyone slowly fell asleep.

The next few days were peaceful and smooth, which made Concubine Zhang start to wonder if she was fooled by Xu Muhua!

Xu Muhua was very calm.

Wouldn't it be best if nothing happened? Although if something happened, Concubine Zhang and the fifth prince would benefit, but if nothing happened, no one would suffer any loss! It's always better to be cautious, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

In the blink of an eye, the time for this autumn hunt is coming to an end.

These days have been peaceful and everyone has made great achievements. The most eye-catching one is the fifth prince. His performance is the best, and it is obvious that the emperor is satisfied with him.
