"You mean, Your Majesty wants to take back the military power from the Si family?"
"Well... it's not impossible."
"After all, the Si family now holds the military power, and the daughter of the Si family has just been made a concubine by His Majesty, temporarily serving as the head of the harem."
"Your Majesty, did this all of a sudden just to stabilize the people of the Si family on the surface."
"In fact, I'm afraid they are really going to take action against the Si family."
"The Si family's achievements were so great that it's no surprise that they've fallen to this point!"
"Hush, do you want to die? How dare you discuss this!"
"Well, we didn't say anything."
"That's right, I didn't hear anything!"
“…”
The ministers who had been making various comments immediately scattered and left.
And the person they were talking about, Murong Qingli, was now changing clothes and preparing to leave the palace.
Just after the morning court session, he heard that the horse in the carriage that Si Muqiao was riding in on the way to Jingyuan District had gone mad.
Although she escaped unharmed in the end, she arrived safely at Jingyuan District with the company of Zhou Li and Huo Sang.
But Murong Qingli still couldn't stop worrying.
Since someone dared to attack her in the carriage.
What about Jingyuan District? How can we ensure absolute safety?
Even though he had already arranged Xu Wei and others to protect him secretly there.
But he was still worried in his heart.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about Concubine Zhen?"
"Who's worried about her?"
"That place is my territory."
"I just finished my work and wanted to go over and take a look."
"Besides, she, Simu Qiao, is my concubine."
"I am not dead yet, is it necessary for a prince from another country to take care of her?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right." Guo Fu lowered his head and rolled his eyes again.
Haha, it’s already this late and Your Majesty is still being stubborn.
It is obvious that he is worried about Empress Zhenfei and is jealous at the same time.
But he just refused to admit it.
Okay, he is His Majesty, he has the final say.
"You old man, what are you doing? Why don't you leave now?"
"Yes, yes, I am ready. Your Majesty, please."
"uh-huh."
Murong Qingli rode out of the palace in a low-key manner on horseback, and rode at full speed with a few people towards Jingyuan District on the eastern outskirts of the capital.
And at this moment in the scenic area.
Si Muqiao and his companions had been riding their horses inside for almost half an hour.
However, only about two-fifths of the journey was completed.
Along the way, she marked all the local features and landmarks she saw on paper.
I also recorded the inspiration that came to my mind as I walked along the way.
In addition to checking the records, they also hunted more than ten or nearly twenty prey.
Among them are hares, antelopes, sika deer, wild boars and poisonous snakes.
As soon as the poisonous snake was caught, Simuqiao ordered his men to pull out its fangs.
It was during this process that Zhou Li personally witnessed Hawthorne's magical affinity for animals.
And his outstanding riding and archery skills!
To be honest, Zhou Li felt that Huo Sang's riding and archery were far superior to his.
Tsk, he is worthy of being the seventh prince of the grassland.
Seeing that it was getting late, Si Muqiao couldn't help but speak.
"Prince Huo, Lord Zhou, why don't we take a break first and continue later?"
"yes."
Seeing that they had no objection, Simuqiao got off the horse, took Tangyuan to find a spacious place to escape the heat and began to prepare a rest area.
Spread the picnic blanket prepared in advance on the ground, and place the various foods brought on the tablecloth.
Simu Qiao did not forget to stare at Zhou Li and gave instructions.
"Master Zhou, please send someone to fetch some firewood."
"By the way, go hunt a few more rabbits and take care of it."
"We'll have braised rabbit for lunch."
"Yes, I obey your command." Zhou Li turned around and gave the order.
Taking advantage of this time, Simuqiao ordered Tangyuan to set up the pot he brought.
And a lot of water was fetched from a nearby place for backup.
The firewood was quickly picked up.
Tangyuan used the firewood to make a fire and began to stew the soup according to Simuqiao's method.
As for the ingredients for the soup, they were some wild vegetables and pheasant eggs that they picked along the way.
This wild vegetable egg drop soup is ready soon.
Because Simuqiao brought a complete set of seasonings, including pepper and salt.
So the soup tastes really delicious.
Fresh and delicious.
"Empress Zhenfei, this soup is really good." Huo Sang couldn't help but praise after drinking a bowl.
"Yes, Empress Zhenfei, your cooking skills are truly amazing."
Zhou Li, who got the soup, also looked on in agreement.
"If you like, you can each have another bowl."
"After you finish drinking this soup, I will start preparing the braised rabbit meat."
"Yeah!" Zhou Li and others nodded repeatedly.
He seemed to have forgotten that when he saw Si Muqiao was about to take action himself, he had tried to stop him.
As a result, now he really hopes that Si Muqiao can take action.
The wild vegetable egg drop soup was quickly divided up by everyone.
Zhou Li's men happily took the pot, rinsed it clean, and then returned it.
Si Muqiao got the pot, added oil to it, and then put in rock sugar to make sugar color.
I saw fine bubbles forming in the pot.
She poured the rabbit meat that had been seasoned with cooking wine, salt and pepper into the pot and began to stir-fry.
While frying, she did not forget to add onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies and other ingredients.
Then add water to cover the meat, add an appropriate amount of salt, and cover the pot.
Although the lid was on, the rich aroma of meat in the pot continued to penetrate everyone's nostrils.
Not only everyone was craving for the taste.
Even some small animals came running over following the smell.
How could Si Muqiao and the others let go of the little animals that came right to their doorstep?
There are Zhou Li's people and Huo Sang, plus her bows and crossbows.
Soon another wave of small animals was harvested.
It was at this time that the braised rabbit meat in the pot was finally cooked!
When Si Muqiao was about to serve the dish, he did not forget to add some chicken essence and stir-fry it.
Then, the braised rabbit meat was officially served.
Murong Qingli, who came here following the information given by Xu Wei, just happened to catch the braised rabbit meat coming out of the pot.
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty!"
"My little prince greets His Majesty!"
When they saw him appear, everyone present stopped drooling and started to salute him.
Si Muqiao was naturally no exception.
She appeared to be polite and saluted properly, but actually she started to complain in her heart.
[My goodness, does Murong Qingli have a dog nose? ]
[My braised rabbit meat was just ready when he showed up! ]
[This happened at the perfect time! ]
[Didn't he say he was very busy? How did he still have time to come? ]
Murong Qingli ignored her thoughts, dismounted in a handsome manner, and spoke lightly.
"No need to be polite, stand up!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, how come you have time to come here?" Si Muqiao asked casually.
"This is my territory. I can come here whenever I want. Is there a problem?" Murong Qingli said in a cold voice.
"Yes, yes, no problem."
"I am preparing to eat, would you like some, Your Majesty?"
Si Muqiao knew that he had this bad temper, so he didn't bother with him and even asked a question kindly.
"I'm not hungry yet."
"However, since you sincerely invited me, I will come with reluctance."
Si Muqiao glanced at him and told Tangyuan to get him a small portion of braised rabbit meat.
Afterwards, Tangyuan started to cook rabbit meat for Simuqiao, Huosang, Zhou Li and others in turn.
Murong Qingli sat down aside.
He picked up the chopsticks handed to him by Guo Fu and was about to eat, but he saw Huo Sang coming over and taking the bowl from his hand.
Hawthorne poured all the rabbit meat from the bowl he had taken away into his own bowl.
Then he smiled and spoke to Murong Qingli.
"Your Majesty, since you are not hungry and are still in such a dilemma, why not let me help you solve your problem."
"It just so happens that the little prince is very hungry, and he particularly likes the rabbit meat made by Concubine Zhen."
"You don't need to thank Xiao Wang."
After saying that, he took his bowl and sat opposite Murong Qingli and started eating.
"Hiss, this braised rabbit meat is really good. The rabbit meat is tender and delicious, and it is really delicious when paired with pancakes."
Hawthorne looked delicious while eating, and his posture was very elegant.
Murong Qingli, who was frozen on the opposite side, said: "..."
