By sheer chance, Poyue became the champion on the first day of the autumn hunt.
In previous years, the winners of the championship received prizes including jewels and weapons.
The prize for this year was not announced in advance, so many people are eagerly anticipating it and are extremely curious.
Yuan Yao glanced at Po Yue: "If I had known you could win, why would I have made Yu'er go through all that trouble and make such complicated prizes?"
Po Yue: "..."
Is he unworthy?
At this moment, the emperor ordered, "Bring up the prize money."
Li Deshan responded and went to deliver the winning numbers.
Soon, four eunuchs carried a two-meter-long plank and carefully walked onto the grassland.
The other eunuchs carried the table up.
The wooden board was placed on the table.
Because it was covered with red silk, no one could see what was placed on the wooden board.
The emperor looked at Yuan Yao: "Can we unveil it now?"
“Sure!” Yuan Yao said with a smile.
The emperor waved his hand.
Li Deshan nodded and personally took the initiative to unveil the red silk.
Upon seeing this, he paused for a moment, then smiled without saying a word.
The emperor looked over curiously.
Although Yuan Yao had imagined it beforehand, she still sighed when she saw what was on the wooden board.
Yu'er, you are so skillful!
Other people who transmigrate bring with them spatial abilities or systems...
She transmigrated without a space or a system, but she had a treasure like Yu'er!
Yu'er is practically her magic touch!
On the wooden board, a large white glazed porcelain slab lay flat, serving as a container.
On the porcelain plate, a festive autumn harvest scene was painted using food-based pigments.
Beside the golden, terraced rice paddies are courtyards with green tiles and white walls. Outside the courtyards, bright red pomegranates and persimmons are laden with fruit, almost overflowing the picture...
It is a painting with extremely simple elements, but just by looking at the picture, you can feel the joy of a bountiful harvest.
The emperor was quite surprised: "I thought you would only bring out two pomegranates today."
I never imagined you'd know how to use food for art!
Yuan Yao opened her eyes wide and said innocently, "So, His Majesty's requirements for Yao'er are so low?"
The emperor chuckled, then deliberately put on a stern face: "You silly girl..."
Yuan Yao smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, it is autumn now, so Yao'er wanted to send Your Majesty a picture of an edible autumn harvest."
The meaning of this picture is to wish the Great Qi a year of favorable weather, abundant harvests, and plentiful achievements!
May all people live in peace and prosperity, and may all citizens of the Great Qi have enough to eat!
"Good!" As soon as Yuan Yao finished speaking, the emperor slapped the armrest of his chair: "Well said!"
Yuan Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She learned this trick of acting cute on the spot, but it seems to be very effective!
After all, she really couldn't think of a better way to use pomegranates as a prize...
Since cooking food is difficult, we have to start from other aspects.
For example, this painting may not be as beautiful as the one painted with paint and paper, but she can still convey the meaning behind it!
In this way, an ordinary painting instantly becomes high-class.
The emperor exclaimed happily, "Reward me!"
The emperor accepted the symbolism of the autumn harvest painting, and the food was bestowed upon Poyue, Yuanyao, and Yu'er, who also received rewards.
The other participants in the hunt also received rewards...
Yuan Yao, holding Yu'er's hundred taels of gold, happily returned to the courtyard: "Sister Yu'er, come quickly!"
"This servant is here." Yu'er came out from the small kitchen in the other courtyard.
Yuan Yao personally carried the tray and handed it to her: "Sister Yu'er, this is a reward from the Emperor to you."
"Even a servant girl gets a reward?" Yu'er was overjoyed.
"Yes!" Yuan Yao asked with a smile, "Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Yu'er nodded, "This servant is so happy!"
That's a hundred taels of gold!
Yu'er carefully reached out and touched the gold, then withdrew her hand, saying, "This gold, I cannot accept it."
"Why?" Yuan Yao asked in surprise.
Yu'er said solemnly, "This servant is a maid of Qianhua Palace, and also a maid of the princess."
I was just doing my duty, how could I accept this reward?
Besides, the autumn harvest picture was the princess's idea; I only did a little work..."
"Sister Yu'er!" Yuan Yao interrupted Yu'er.
She picked up the tray and said earnestly, "Take it quickly."
Yu'er pursed her lips.
Seeing that Yu'er still refused to take it, Yuan Yao had no choice but to say, "If you don't take it, my hand will get sore and hurt..."
Yu'er felt somewhat helpless.
Yuan Yao looked at Yu'er and said in a childish voice, "In my life, there is no such thing as being dutiful or not."
You should take the reward for what you have done!
Besides, shouldn't you... start saving up some premarital savings?
A secret premarital savings account?
Yu'er froze for a moment, then her face suddenly turned bright red: "Princess, this servant didn't..."
"I know everything!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu'er lowered her head in embarrassment, her ear tips turning almost red.
Embarrassed, Yu'er bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Does the Emperor... know about this too?"
"Father isn't afraid even if he knows!" Yuan Yao comforted him, "You and Uncle Bai are both Father's people, I know you inside and out, Father will only bless you!"
Uncle Bai?
So, the young princess knew everything...
Yu'er's face was burning hot.
Yuan Yao then placed the tray in Yu'er's hands: "These rewards are what you deserve. Save them and buy something you like in the future."
Your dowry will be prepared separately by your father and me!
"Mmm..." Yu'er nodded shyly.
Despite feeling shy, she also felt incredibly lucky and happy.
As a palace maid, she was able to do what she liked and meet people she loved, living such a carefree life...
All of this was because she met the Ninth Prince and the Little Princess...
She was such a lucky palace maid!
Yu'er immediately decided that during her time at the hunting ground palace, she would definitely show off her skills and cook lots of delicious food for the princess and the Ninth Prince...
This autumn's hunting season will not be limited to hunting.
Besides hunting, there are also activities such as horse racing, polo, cuju (ancient Chinese football), and archery...
The women also enjoyed activities such as playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, dancing, and embroidery...
In short, there were plenty of activities!
As a little cutie with no special talents, Yuan Yao could only wander around aimlessly every day.
That day, the hunt ended in the morning, and the martial arts competition took place in the afternoon.
Yuan Yao had no interest in martial arts.
Early on, the stands were already filled with people.
Yuan Yao looked around for a while and then felt there was nothing to do.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince turned his head to look at her: "Thinking it's boring?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "A little..."
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "I specially cleared out a mountain; there are no wild animals, so it's very safe."
If you're really that boring, I'll have someone take you mushroom picking?
What? ?
Did the Ninth Prince clear an entire mountain just so she could go pick mushrooms?
Yuan Yao's eyes were shining: "Thank you, Daddy!"
Daddy is so wonderful!
Yuan Yao was overjoyed.
She went to find Huaiyao and Huairou, and also invited Yunchan, Fengxun, and Jiang Chengyan, who were not required to participate in the martial arts competition, to travel to the palace together.
Soon, the news that Princess Yuanyao had gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms spread.
Many young ladies and gentlemen were eager to go together...
Outside the palace gates.
The slightly chubby young man in brocade robes said to the young man in purple robes beside him, "After following for three days, we've finally found an opportunity."
Today, only success is allowed; failure is not permitted!
