The Queen of Destiny: The King's Side

The carriage drove slowly on the hidden path, and Yuwen Haoxuan rode in front, trying to keep the speed down as much as possible to prevent the interior of the carriage from being too bumpy.

The sun was slowly sinking to the west, and the visibility in the already dark woods was getting lower and lower.After a full day of bumping in the carriage, Xixian felt that the bones were about to fall apart, and Xuechun was not much better, holding on to her grumbling stomach and frowning. They only ate some dry pastries at noon today. No more food.

Finally, the carriage stopped on a gentle terrain, and Xi Xian jumped out of the carriage and took a while to get used to it before barely standing still.During this time, Liu Maolin had brought back two pheasants and a fat hare.

Excitedly, Xuechun ran forward to pick up the pheasant and the hare and exclaimed, "Where did you find these? I thought I could only eat those dry snacks tonight!"

Liu Maolin replied while picking up dead branches on the ground, "There is nothing else in this forest, but there are a lot of game. Those pastries are fine for entertainment, but if you really want to fill your stomach, you have to eat some real things."

"Maolin is right." Yuwen Haoxuan took out the flint, lit the branches, and skillfully controlled the fire, "Don't look at the rich people who eat better and wear better, the body is not necessarily stronger than ordinary people, because Eating these unnutritious things all day long is not justified in the long run."

Xi Xian also leaned over to pick up the branches. At this moment, she felt that they were all ordinary people, without dignity or restraint, and they could chat with each other openly.

"I said why my body is always inferior to others. It turns out that I eat too much of these things, and I often stop eating dinner after eating pastries in the middle of the afternoon."

Seeing that the flames were stable, Yuwen Haoxuan got up and looked at her, "Then you have to take advantage of this time to correct these problems, or you will forget about it when you go back after eating too much."

Xi Xian smiled, stopped what she was doing, "Yes, master!"

It was rare to see such a mischievous expression on her face, Yuwen Haoxuan couldn't help but look at her for a while longer, until she lowered her head shyly, then reluctantly looked away.

Seeing this scene, Liu Maolin just smiled meaningfully and didn't interrupt. He quickly peeled and washed a few wild game, and put them on the sharpened branches.

Yuwen Haoxuan had already set up the barbecue stand, and after putting the dressed game on it, everyone sat down around the fire.

"It's the first time I've grilled something in the open air like this!" Xue Chun stared at the squeaky game meat with bright eyes, his joy was beyond words.

"Where is this?" Liu Maolin said while turning the fire with a branch, "After a while, the first time you have experienced in custody is more than what you have experienced in your life."

"Really?" Xuechun looked at him in disbelief, eyes filled with longing.

Seeing her like this, Liu Maolin couldn't help laughing, "That's still fake, you've never tried roasted fruit, right? That's a different taste! I just picked a lot of wild fruits, you can try it."

Xuechun took the fruit thrown by Liu Maolin, carefully inserted it into the small tree fork in his hand, but left behind a few words, "Roast these first, if they don't taste good, don't waste them all."

Seeing her cautious appearance, Liu Maolin laughed loudly, "Just roast it, there are not many wild fruits in this barren mountain and wild ridge."

As soon as Liu Maolin finished speaking, Yuwen Haoxuan turned to Xi Xian and said, "But you don't want to eat at will. There are many seemingly edible things in this mountain that are actually poisonous. If you eat them carelessly, you may be poisoned and die."

Xi Xian nodded receptively, "But how do you tell the difference? I have heard that the more colorful and beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. Is it the same for wild fruits?"

"That's not the case." Yuwen Haoxuan put down the tree branch in his hand and said in detail, "In the south there is a pure white mushroom, the white poison umbrella, which looks ordinary but is extremely poisonous, and another very gorgeous orange cap Goose is a delicacy in the world, so these cannot be generalized."

"Then how do you know which ones are edible and which ones are not?" Xi Xian looked at him with some admiration.

Yuwen Haoxuan smiled disapprovingly, "That's not easy, only eat what I know, and never touch those I haven't seen, no matter how delicious they are."

Xuechun sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, if those fruits are delicious, wouldn't I miss it?"

Seeing her greedy look, Liu Maolin jokingly said, "You also said that it's just in case. If you really lose your life, it would be a pity!"

"It's just talking, and it's not really delicious." "Maybe, why don't I pick one for you now"??? The two of you bickered with each other sentence by sentence, completely lost the palace. The constraints of the upper and lower levels, Xixian watched from the side, and couldn't help but envy Xuechun, who was so heartless but also easier to be happy. She hoped that Xuechun would always be happy and not be stained by the dirt of the world. At this moment Her heart to guard this happiness became more determined.

"Stop arguing, the meat is almost burnt." Yuwen Haoxuan finally stopped it, otherwise I don't know if the two would have been arguing until midnight.

"Huh!" Xue Chun snorted and turned her head away, like a child quarreling and throwing a temper tantrum.

Liu Maolin smiled helplessly, and continued to turn the already fragrant barbecue on the branch.

After a while, he moved the grill to the side, took out a knife, cut off the meat piece by piece, put them on four plates and shared them with everyone, "It's ready to eat!"

Xuechun couldn't wait to take his share and started to gobble it up, but Xixian gave her a wink at this moment, and Xuechun realized that Yuwen Haoxuan hadn't spoken yet. Although he was not in the palace, he was still Your Majesty, Xue Chun seems a little complacent and forgets to look.

Seeing this, Yuwen Haoxuan smiled kindly, "It doesn't matter, eat quickly, the most important thing is to fill your stomach."

Secretly sticking out her tongue at Xixian, Xuechun continued to swallow, and the unhappiness of the bickering just now had long been forgotten by her.

After drinking and eating, Xuechun and Liu Maolin cleaned up the mess on the ground together. Xixian picked up some dry branches and put them aside for later use. Yuwen Haoxuan walked around the edge of the open space to confirm that there was no danger before giving the order. Set up camp.

After settling down in Xixian, Xuechun plunged into his bedding, and soon let out a sweet snoring sound.Liu Maolin kept patrolling around, sometimes looking vigilantly at the treetops, sometimes listening carefully to the movement in the forest, while Yuwen Haoxuan sat by the fire with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking, or not thinking about anything.

Xi Xian looked up at the starry night sky, as if she had returned to the countless sleepless nights in the Ningguo Palace.

I don't know if the old father is still the same as before, full of wine and silk and bamboo all day long, will he think of his long-dead mother and her who is far away in a foreign country in the occasional leisure time?
