When Guan Zhiyue and Yuan Ningsu returned to the military camp, Li An had already woken up and was sitting dejectedly at the entrance of the camp.
He's just swearing at people incessantly!
"How dare His Majesty?"
"How could my nephew do this?"
"I'm not afraid of death either! I want to fight too!"
"Ah! My heart, my ambition!"
...
When Guan Zhiyue returned, she heard these words and blinked, feeling a chill run down her spine. She found it hard to believe!
Yuan Ningsu swallowed hard. "Everyone says that the Seventh Prince of Nanding Kingdom is a good prince, steady and aloof."
"Judging from his words, he doesn't seem to have much composure at all."
Guan Zhiyue: "All the rumors in the world are false; black can be made to look white."
The two nodded in agreement, and Guan Chengheng rushed over when he saw his sister return.
"Oh my, my dear sister, you're finally back! Listen to the Seventh Prince, he's screaming like he's about to give birth ever since he woke up."
Guan Chengheng, with his keen eye, reached out and took the small basket that Guan Zhiyue was carrying. Inside were many sea urchins.
Yuan Ningsu was carrying many small seashells in her hands.
"What the heck, why are you buying so much?" Guan Chengheng asked, puzzled.
Her sister got involved with the Crown Prince of Ningjian Kingdom right after the Emperor left? Isn't that a bit too early?
"This is only a small portion. When the fishermen bring over their seafood, remember to have the quartermaster count the money and give it to them!" Guan Zhiyue said without turning her head.
When the kitchen purchasing general heard that the empress had bought a lot of seafood, his eyes widened instantly. He saw many fishermen lining up, carrying their own baskets or pushing carts.
Good heavens! Did they take everything from the fishermen's homes?
night.
Guan Zhiyue and the others were not saddened by the departure of the army. Instead, they organized the remaining soldiers in the camp to enjoy seafood freely.
They live by the sea and could actually go fishing themselves, but they never have. After all, training is the most important thing. If the fishermen went to fish, how would they survive? So it's better to pay for the catch.
But I've never bought so many before. Look at these hundreds of pounds of shrimp, wow, it's truly a delightful sight!
"Soldiers, tonight we'll have seafood all you want. I only have one request: take as much as you need, cook as much as you need, and eat as much as you need. Don't cook it all."
To avoid wasting food, the kitchen will use any leftovers to make dried food, and we can add some to make a dish later.” Guan Zhiyue’s words excited the soldiers in the camp.
Guan Zhiyue then had her second brother, Li An, and Yuan Ningsu take a copper pot and a piece of iron to their command tent. After clearing out a space inside, they set up two stoves, one for grilling and the other for hot pot.
"Barbecue and hot pot? Sure, I've been drooling with envy, and I never thought I'd finally get to eat them today."
"It was made by you, Xiao Yue'er!"
"Okay, if you like it, then let's have seafood to our hearts' content tonight."
Guan Zhiyue instructed Yuan Ningsu and her second brother to put all the crabs in the bucket on the barbecue grill to steam first, and also asked Li An to bring another grill to use for barbecue.
One table had a copper pot with two compartments on it, another had a metal grill, and the third had a steamer. Judging from this setup, was the Empress about to turn the world upside down?
"How about that? That satisfies multiple needs at the same time!"
"Come on, let's eat!" Guan Zhiyue was the first to sit down. Li An was still a little upset. He couldn't understand why his nephew wouldn't let him go.
As a result, Shirley Kwan picked up a piece of beef roll, dipped it in some sesame sauce, and then began to enjoy it!
She made clicking sounds of admiration, making the three grown men swallow hard. Seeing Guan Zhiyue's expression, their mouths were watering, so they all picked up a piece of beef roll, dipped it in the sauce in their bowls, and started eating.
"Wow, this is so damn delicious."
"It's really delicious!"
"Little Yue'er, your cooking is really good!"
Li An instantly felt his heart was filled, and he had no time to be sad or upset. It was just too damn good.
No one had a chance to ask where Guan Zhiyue got such a thin piece of flesh.
When it comes to eating the most, Li An is the one who has to be sweating the most. He has also eaten a lot of the barbecue on the side!
"Don't anyone try to take my big roasted chicken leg! It's my absolute favorite!"
"And don't you dare take the lobsters I've put in the pot! These are my absolute favorites!"
Li An stood up, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, running back and forth between the steamer and the hot pot, making sure it was dinner for four people.
They ate like eight people, grabbing for the good stuff and refusing to touch anything that wasn't good or that they couldn't make themselves. The cone snails were a given; they didn't even glance at them because they couldn't make them, so they simply gave up.
Shrimp are the easiest to peel, and that's his favorite. He would scoop them all out of the pot in one go.
Guan Zhiyue had served him seven or eight times, each time with about twenty or thirty pieces. He would snatch them all, and before anyone else could get a bite, he would get tired of them and move on to other foods.
Guan Zhiyue looked at Li An, who was scrambling for food, and there was no trace of the sad and heartbroken look she had just had. Now, the best thing was just not having to fight with him.
As the old saying goes, there's nothing that a hot pot meal can't fix; if there is, then two meals will do!
----
While everyone at home was enjoying their meal, Li Qiji, who was floating in the sea, was standing on the deck with his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding the photo Guan Zhiyue had given him, looking heartbroken.
Little did they know that they were having the time of their lives, eating, drinking, and having a great time!
"Your Majesty, it's late, you should go back to rest." Ji Wu draped a cloak over Li Qiji's shoulders. The sea wind was strong, and it was inexplicably cold.
He couldn't help but shudder a few times; he could sense that his emperor wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
After all, when the Empress and the Japanese were so affectionate, these Japanese were really such a spoilsport.
Li Qiji looked down at the photo in his hand and said softly, "Does she miss me as much as I do?"
Behind him, Ji Wu said with certainty, "I suppose so, after all, Her Majesty the Empress loves Your Majesty very much!"
Li Qiji looked up at the sky without speaking, but silently thought to himself, "Am I not the same?"
