Yang Ruoqing nodded and quickly walked out of the cave.
"Yaxue, I'm here, what's wrong?" she asked.
Xiao Yaxue came over and took Yang Ruoqing's arm.
"What's wrong? It's such a dark night, why are you chatting with Prince Nan if you don't go back to rest? I'm worried about being a lonely widow!" Xiao Yaxue said.
Because while she was speaking, she had already poked her head into the cave.
I saw that Prince Nan was the only one left in the cave.
Hearing Xiao Yaxue's words, Yang Ruoqing's head was filled with black lines.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Prince Nan is a gentleman and we are talking about business," she said.
Xiao Yaxue lowered her voice and said: "Tsk, no man is serious, it just depends on how sophisticated he is in disguise."
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Prince Nan is old enough to be my father, so stop talking nonsense. Come on, the prince will let you come in together."
With that said, Yang Ruoqing dragged Xiao Yaxue into the cave.
Don't look at what Xiao Yaxue said to Prince Nan just now at the entrance of the cave. When he actually came in, Xiao Yaxue still knew etiquette very well.
Under the introduction of Yang Ruoqing, both parties got to know each other.
It happened that at this moment, Adjutant Zhou and the little guard came back with the packed rabbits.
Xiao Yaxue said: "Qing'er, I haven't eaten yet. Let's eat some roasted hare?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "Well, this rabbit is big enough, that's enough for us."
A medium-sized earth pit was dug on the spot inside the cave. Yang Ruoqing put the firewood picked up by the young guards and others into the earth pit and lit it.
On top of the fire, there were two large wooden forks. After peeling off the skin, there was a big rabbit weighing five or six pounds, with its head and tail removed.
Cut it in half in the middle, skewer half of it on a large wooden fork, place it on the fire, and turn it over and bake with the help of the temperature of the outer flame.
"You don't even add any oil or salt, how can this rabbit meat be eaten?"
Adjutant Zhou stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes.
He secretly raised his hand to his nose and smelled it. It was filled with the smell of blood from when he was cleaning it up earlier.
There was a surge in my empty stomach.
Yang Ruoqing carefully turned over the rabbit in her hands and had no intention of paying attention to Adjutant Zhou.
Xiao Yaxue raised her eyelids and glanced at Adjutant Zhou, and sneered: "Eat it if you can. After all this time, you are still picky?"
"you……"
"What am I? If you dislike this rabbit and can't eat it, you don't have to eat it. No one is forcing you!" Xiao Yaxue said.
"snort!"
Adjutant Zhou snorted coldly and turned away.
Birds of a feather flock together, and these two women have the same virtues.
Tigress, damn it!
Prince Nan closed his eyes, pretended to sleep, and remained silent.
Xiao Yaxue wanted to give Adjutant Zhou a few more words, but Yang Ruoqing said, "Don't just talk nonsense. The rabbit will be burnt later and we won't even be able to eat it."
Xiao Yaxue rolled her eyes at Adjutant Zhou and quickly turned all her attention to her hands.
In the cave, no one spoke anymore.
The crisp sound of burning firewood sounded rhythmically.
Repeated baking at high temperatures deliberately destroys the balance of fat.
The golden grease seeped out and trickled slowly, and the last drop fell into the fire below.
Adding fuel to the fire.
The fire made small bursting sounds, and the flames jumped excitedly.
After a while, the scent of rabbit meat began to spread in the cave.
For someone who has been hungry all day long, this scent is really the most alluring thing in the world.
Prince Nan's eyes opened.
The little guard who had been standing by was almost drooling, and Adjutant Zhou's stomach also made gurgling sounds.
"Is it almost done?" Xiao Yaxue asked Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Yeah!"
Then, she tore off a piece of golden rabbit leg and sent it to Prince Nan.
"My lord, please try my craftsmanship," she said.
Prince Nan looked at the steaming rabbit leg in front of him and took it without any hesitation.
Bite off a piece of meat, bringing out the aroma and heat inside.
Charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the meat is extremely delicious and stimulates the taste buds.
"How is it? Can you still eat it?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Prince Nan nodded repeatedly.
"The chef of Prince Nan's Mansion can't make rabbit legs like this!" He said vaguely.
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
He returned to the fire, tore off a large piece of rabbit meat and gave it to the little guard who had been helping him.
Then he and Xiao Yaxue also tore into the rabbit meat and sat aside to eat it.
Everyone was eating, but one person was deliberately left out.
Yes, that person is Adjutant Zhou.
Adjutant Zhou couldn't help it when he saw everyone enjoying the food so much.
With a shy face, he moved to the side of the fire, leaned down, and stretched out his hand to tear off a piece.
Was stopped by Xiao Yaxue.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Adjutant Zhou's eyes flickered and he said, "Get some food."
"Don't you look down on our food? Why do you want it again?" Xiao Yaxue asked.
Adjutant Zhou remained silent and blushed.
Xiao Yaxue still looked like she wouldn't give it.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Prince Nan, then said to Xiao Yaxue: "Forget it, give him something to eat, otherwise who will protect Prince Nan if he starves to death?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yaxue snorted and stepped aside.
Yang Ruoqing tore off another piece of rabbit meat and gave it to Adjutant Zhou.
Adjutant Zhou took the rabbit meat and said bluntly, "Thank you!"
In a flash, he went to the entrance of the cave to eat.
A hero would not bend his waist for five buckets of rice. Tonight, his waist would be broken for a piece of rabbit meat.
Why!
After eating and drinking, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yaxue said goodbye to Prince Nan.
"Where will you two rest at night?" Prince Nan stopped them and asked.
Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment and said, "It's under a big tree outside the cave."
Prince Nan said: "It's early autumn and it's cold outside. You two ladies will stay in this cave while I go outside!"
Prince Nan said, and ordered the young guard to come over, "Help me go outside."
The little guard looked worried and advised: "My lord, is this inappropriate? Your body..."
"Um?"
Prince Nan glanced at the little guard, who immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything.
Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yaxue looked at each other, and Yang Ruoqing came to Prince Nan.
"Your Majesty, our sisters appreciate your kindness."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The place we found is sheltered from the wind and it's not cold at all." Yang Ruoqing said.
"You have a good rest. We are near the cave. If anything happens at night, just ask the little guard to shout."
After saying this, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yaxue came out of the cave together.
On the way, Xiao Yaxue said to Yang Ruoqing: "This Prince Nan is not a bad person!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's indeed not bad."
Xiao Yaxue said: "Then Princess Bingqing either followed Princess Nan, or else, she is definitely not Prince Nan's biological child."
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Xiao Yaxue meant.
