Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

When you walk into the courtyard, you will find that every path is paved with strange stones, all of different colors.

The stream is also surrounded by flowers. Surrounded by flowers, the stream water feels sweet.

The stream flows slowly, and the pleasant sound is like a beautiful piece of music, reaching your ears.

“It’s really a beautiful place.”

"You like it?"

"like very much."

Meng Xiyue nodded heavily. This was the place she had dreamed of living in seclusion, living among the mountains and rivers, quiet and beautiful.

When she travels around and grows older, she can live in a place like this to enjoy her old age, and she will be content with her life.

"Then I'll give this villa to you. It will be your private property from now on."

Xie Junyi understood that Meng Xiyue didn't like doing business, but she wanted to earn some money for herself because she had nothing.

Therefore, he also wanted to give her something that truly belonged to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Understanding his intention, Meng Xiyue did not refuse.

This villa is very big, but there is no one else except a few servants who clean the house.

"There are farmers in the surrounding villages. On weekdays, all the work on the mountain and the other courtyards is assigned to them. They clean and take care of it very well. After finishing their work every day, they return to the farm to live."

Xie Junyi deliberately did not buy anyone to give the surrounding villagers a way to earn money.

"It's getting late today, let's go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow."

"Okay." Meng Xiyue nodded, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you today."

"There is a cook."

Xie Junyi didn't want to make Meng Xiyue work hard, but she had finally got the opportunity, so she was unwilling to give up.

"My cooking skills are amazing. I guarantee you won't forget it once you taste it."

"Since you want to do it, I will give it a try."

Xie Junyi had no doubt about her cooking skills. After all, her sweetheart was not even as good as the imperial chefs in the palace.

Meng Xiyue came to the kitchen and found that there was everything here, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and even vegetables in baskets, which looked like they had just been picked.

It should have been sent by a nearby farmer.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at so many ingredients, Meng Xiyue was really at a loss as to where to start for a moment. Finally, she saw the lamb on the table and suddenly had a bold idea.

"We're going to have a barbecue today and eat while we cook."

"barbecue?"

Xie Junyi didn't know what barbecue was, but when he saw her pick up the mutton, he couldn't help but remind her.

"This mutton has a strong smell."

The Yuanqing Kingdom did not eat much mutton. These things were all donated by foreign countries and were basically kept in the kitchen. Few chefs knew how to cook them.

"I know, Qianye, go find some bamboo sticks, as long as chopsticks. Qianxiang, help me cut the mutton into cubes."

Meng Xiyue then pulled Xie Junyi out again, "Your Majesty, come with me to set up the barbecue grill."

Although no one understood why, everyone got busy following her instructions.

After about half an hour, the barbecue grill was set up and the lamb skewers were ready.

After lighting the charcoal fire, Meng Xiyue began to grill the lamb skewers. With the sizzling sound, the aroma wafted to the face.

Meng Xiyue couldn't help drooling. Her mother was strict in her previous life. Although she liked barbecue, she had never eaten it many times. She had never eaten it since she came to this world.

Now I can finally enjoy the delicious barbecue again.

After the mutton skewers in her hand were grilled, she couldn't wait to share them with a few people, "Eat while it's hot."

After saying that, she took a string and started chewing it. It had less cumin and less flavor, but overall it was still very good.

In this summer, eating barbecue is indeed one of the greatest pleasures in life. Before she knew it, she had finished a whole skewer.

"Why don't you eat?"

She looked up and saw three people holding lamb skewers, all looking at her in shock.

"Miss, isn't it uncivilized to eat like this?" Qianxiang reminded her softly. The prince is still here. If the young lady eats like this, will the prince dislike her?

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Junyi had already started eating.

"what about the taste?"

"Very good, the mutton smell is much lighter."

Xie Junyi had never expected that such a simple method could produce such delicious mutton.

Seeing that their master had eaten, Qianxiang and Ziye were no longer reserved and started eating.

After eating it, it was like discovering a new world, and everyone praised it highly.

Meng Xiyue raised her head proudly, "I'll tell you it's delicious."

"Young lady is so amazing." Asaka's eyes were full of admiration. Her young lady could really do anything.

"I'll give it a try."

Xie Junyi couldn't help but put a few skewers of lamb on and started grilling.

"In the summer, we should eat barbecue, and in the winter, we should eat hot pot."

I have to sigh that people nowadays really know how to eat.

"Hot pot?" Another thing I've never heard of.

Xie Junyi couldn't understand why she had so many things since she had never been out of Qingyun City. However, since she didn't say anything, he didn't want to force her to answer.

"When winter comes, we'll come here to eat again."

Meng Xiyue looked at him with burning eyes, and Xie Junyi nodded, "Okay."

In the end, the four people grilled lamb skewers, beef skewers, potatoes, and vegetables, and they stopped only when they were full.

"It's just missing some seasoning, otherwise it would be more delicious."

Meng Xiyue couldn't help but sigh that there was still a lack of beer. Although she had never drunk it, others said that barbecue goes best with beer.

“It’s delicious just like that.”

Xie Junyi scratched her nose and said lovingly.

"We've eaten too much. Let's go for a walk."

"it is good."

The rest of the stall was left to Ziye and Qianxiang to clean up, and the two of them strolled around the courtyard.

The two held hands and felt the breeze. Meng Xiyue thought that it would be nice if they lived like this in the future.

"Do you often come here to live?"

"No, the court is busy with official duties and it is difficult to get away. This is my second time here."

I built the villa because of the beautiful scenery. I wanted to have a place to rest and relax when I was tired.

But I overlooked the fact that I rarely have the chance to relax.

"There is always a lot to do, and the most important thing is to be happy."

Otherwise she wouldn't even have the courage to live. In her previous life, she was able to survive by relying on the rare happiness.

I didn't expect that in the end, even living a hard life became a luxury.

However, when her mother's dagger pierced her chest, she felt no pain, only relief.

She was relieved, and perhaps her mother was relieved too.

"Your Majesty, we have no choice about where we were born, but our future lives should be in our own hands. We should not shoulder the mission of others and move forward with a heavy burden, otherwise, in the end, both sides may suffer."

Sometimes she would regret it. If she had known how to resist, would the outcome be different? Would her mother have come to her senses?
