Chapter 14 Lin Lingxiang: Thank you Princess Sponsor
While Momoyuki was making a fire, Xiangying went to pick up a sharp stone.
She used the tip of a stone to grind the bear meat into slices and strung them on sticks.
The meat was roasted with a sizzling aroma that wafted from miles away.
People nearby looked on anxiously.
Xiangying sprinkled some salt, pepper and sesame seeds on the roasted meat and let the children eat it first.
The three little guys sat side by side on the stone. Their faces were all dirty from eating the skewers, but each one was happier than the other.
The barbecue smells so good!
Xiangying handed the grilled ones to Momoyuki and sprinkled pepper and chili on the ones he ate.
One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance.
The meat slices are neither too thick nor too thin, with the right amount of fat and lean, not dry and easy to chew. Paired with the aroma of chili, it is so delicious.
The concubines and ladies who were originally sitting around couldn't help but come over.
"Princess, there is still a lot of meat. Can you give us some?"
"Yes, the military supervisors only gave us a bowl of porridge with plain water tonight, which is not enough to drink."
Before Xiangying could say anything, Xiang Yuanxiao put her hands on her hips and urged them away: "No! We won't give it to you even if you beg us!"
The little guy ran to Xiangying and said, "You are not allowed to give it to them. After you led the bear away, they didn't want the military supervisor to rescue you, so now they are hungry, they deserve it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiangying glanced at the uneasy and guilty female relatives with her phoenix eyes.
She has never been a kind-hearted person, and it is even more impossible for her to be kind to someone who wants to hurt her.
Xiang Ying touched Xiang Yuanxiao's little head.
"Then I'll listen to Yuan Xiao. How about this? You can distribute the remaining meat. Give the meat to those you think are good to us. Mother fully supports you!"
Xiang Yuanxiao suddenly felt full of a sense of responsibility. He took the grilled skewers and ran around.
Xiangying looked at his back and a smile appeared on her red lips.
Xiang Yuanxiao's little brain was very clear. He remembered clearly who said bad things and who said good things.
He first sent the meat skewers to the Lin family of the Imperial Observatory, and the rest, including the Seventh Princess, Concubine Yu and others, were all helped by Xiang Yuanxiao.
Some female relatives also thought that Xiang Yuanxiao was a child and easy to talk to.
They wanted to come up and try to please the little guy, but he didn't buy it and ignored them.
Seeing him like this, Xiangying felt relieved.
This child is good, let her be!
Those few skewers of meat were not enough to fill him up, so Xiangying made an excuse to go see Xiangli and walked out of the crowd.
When no one was paying attention to her, she took out half a roast duck from the space and ate it all.
After eating and drinking, Xiangying took out the water bag from the space and poured it on Xiangli.
He had been caught in the rain earlier, and a lot of the medicine applied on his body had been washed away. Now the wound was turned outward, revealing the white flesh, which looked shocking.
Xiangying first washed away the mud and blood clots stuck to his wound, and finally took out a clean cloth from the space and wiped it thoroughly.
He took two bottles of golden wound medicine and sprinkled them all on his wounds.
The bear bile taken out during the day can be used just right.
Xiangying cut the bear's gallbladder with a knife, and brown-green bile flowed out. She quickly handed it to Xiangli's mouth.
The bear bile gave off a fishy smell, and Xiangying resisted the urge to retch.
She looked at the unconscious Xiangli and felt somewhat relieved: "Fortunately you are still unconscious, otherwise if you were awake, I really don't know how I could trick you into eating this."
Bear bile is extremely bitter and most people cannot stand it, but it is a great tonic and is good for the injuries caused by separation.
After feeding him the bile, Xiangying took out a bowl of yellow rice porridge from the space and sprinkled a spoonful of brown sugar in it.
Brown sugar replenishes physical strength and energy, and millet porridge can also nourish your health.
By the time she finished serving him, she was already sweating profusely.
It was a summer night, and although it wasn't too hot in the mountains, it was still stuffy.
Xiangying refused to sit idle, so while everyone was eating, she took out needle and thread from the space and started sewing the bear skin.
By the way, I also made knee pads for the children and Taoxue so that they would not feel tired when walking.
While sewing the bear skin, Xiangying heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Taoxue walking towards her with a depressed expression.
Seeing Xiangying sewing bear skin, Taoxue took the initiative to take over: "I will help you."
"Why are you in a bad mood? Didn't you eat enough?"
"The servant is full."
"So what happened? Someone bullied you?"
Tao Xue couldn't resist Xiang Ying's questioning, so she bit her lip and said, "I don't know how the Fifth Princess got in good terms with those captains. She just brought back some steamed buns and rice porridge and shared them with everyone."
"Those who spoke ill of the eldest princess all went to curry favor with the fifth princess, and they were even sarcastic, saying that even without your help, they wouldn't starve, and they praised the fifth princess for thinking of the overall situation."
"I thought about how you resolutely led the black bear away, but this group of people are not only ungrateful, but also talk to me like this. I... I..." Tao Xue cried in anger.
Xiangying laughed instead.
"What's the big deal? She can be as proud as she wants. It's a great feat for her to keep asking for food."
However, Tao Xue's words gave Xiang Ying a reminder.
Yellow Huzi is a man who won't give up until he sees the money. How can Xiang Qianqian get any benefits from him?
Xiang Ying looked back and saw Xiang Qianqian being surrounded by a group of people in the distance. Only after being flattered did she agree to break the steamed bun in her hand into pieces and share them with others.
It was quite a lot, she got at least seven or eight steamed buns.
Yellow Beard was quite generous.
Xiangying's phoenix eyes were cold and revealed a hint of contemplation.
That night, they stayed in the woods.
Perhaps because they were sleeping in the wild, and because they had encountered wild beasts before, everyone slept uneasily.
Before daybreak, the military supervisors cracked their whips and woke everyone up.
Xiangying went to check on Xiangli's injuries, but saw several medicinal herbs placed on the wooden cart where he was lying.
She picked it up and looked at it. A gentle voice came from beside her: "This is insect repellent grass. I picked it last night. Princess, don't worry. It's not poisonous."
"Because His Royal Highness has wounds on his body, which can easily attract poisonous insects, I took the initiative to put some herbs in. I hope the Princess won't mind."
Xiangying looked back and saw that it was the young lady from the Imperial Observatory.
"Miss Lin, do you know medical skills?"
The girl in front of him smiled bitterly: "Having fallen to this state, I am no longer the Second Miss. If the Princess doesn't mind, you can call me Lingxiang."
"I don't know much about medicine, but I know some herbs and have a basic understanding of medicine. The princess has helped me several times, so I also want to do what I can."
Xiangying's gaze swept past Lin Lingxiang and looked at the Lin family members not far behind her.
Mr. Lin from the Imperial Observatory has woken up and is surrounded by female relatives. He looks better than before.
Xiangying retracted his gaze and said to Lin Lingxiang: "How about this, Lingxiang, when you are free these days, help me turn the prince over. He lies down all the time, which makes it easy for sores to form on his body."
"How about you help me take care of the prince for a day, and I'll take care of your family's food?"
Xiangying made this decision because she had to take care of three children alone and keep an eye on Xiangli's injuries, which was really tiring.
If someone can help her share the burden, she is also willing to share food to take care of the Qintianjian family. They are of mutual value, so why not?
Upon hearing this, Lin Lingxiang nodded immediately: "It is hard to repay the princess's kindness. Even if there is no food, I will help you."
Having thus agreed, Sang-yeong returned to the children.
Tao Xue is combing their hair.
The military supervisor would be coming over for patrol soon, and time was tight in the morning, so Xiangying simply prepared the food in the space before taking it out.
Cut the soft white steamed bun in the middle and put crushed peanuts, chopped boiled eggs, a little braised beef and pickles inside.
The three children each had one, Taoxue and Xiangying ate two, and paired them with a bowl of warm red rice porridge.
The little ones who were eating burped one after another.
This time, they didn't ask where Xiangying's food came from.
In Taoxue's eyes, her eldest princess had a heart so big that it could hold six steamed buns.
The rest should have been given by the military supervisor!
Xiangying squatted down and put the knee pads that he sewed last night on the little ones.
Xiang Xiuxiu gently wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead with her small hand.
"Mother, you smell so good, like jasmine."
Xiangying scratched her nose and said, "Little girl, you are sweeter than my son."
Xiang Xiuxiu immediately covered her red face and boasted to her two brothers beside her: "Mom praised me!"
I don't know what happened, but there was a commotion up ahead.
Tao Xue went to inquire, and came back a short while later, saying to Xiang Ying: "Princess, it's a good thing we left quickly yesterday, otherwise something serious would have happened!"
