The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Lu Qingqing was suspicious and pulled aside the curtain.

I saw Yuzhu holding a bamboo basket with several palm-sized bottles and jars in it.

Lu Qingqing's eyes fell on the pottery jar and asked:

"What is this?"

"Your Excellency, my queen is worried that you will have a boring diet during your journey, so she specially pickled some preserved radish and meat for you to adjust your taste."

When Lu Qingqing heard that it was Concubine Xian, she became more defensive.

On the surface, Concubine Xian appears to be virtuous and gentle, but her methods are so sophisticated that they are shocking.

The last time the palace dress incident happened, it was Concubine Xian who manipulated the clothes and almost framed Concubine Zhuang. Until now, the investigation has not reached Concubine Shu.

However, since it was just some food and we were travelling, there was no harm in accepting it.

She said, "Yuzhu, thank the Concubine Xian for me and pass the things to Xiaotao."

Xiaotao got off the car and took a can of preserved meat and preserved vegetables from Yuzhu's bamboo basket.

When I returned to the carriage and opened the pottery jar, a burst of fragrance filled my nose.

Xu Ming'er was about to pick up his chopsticks when Lu Qingqing stopped him.

"Ming Er, wait a moment."

Lu Qingqing winked at Xiaotao, and Xiaotao immediately understood what she meant.

Xiao Tao took a small piece from each of the two pottery jars, carefully observed the appearance and smell, and then took out a silver needle to test the poison.

After some operation, Xiao Tao said, "Don't worry, my dear, this thing is non-toxic."

After checking, everyone started to eat.

I have to say that the kitchen in Concubine Xian’s palace is really well-cooked. The meat jerky is tender and tasty, and the preserved radish is crispy and juicy.

Fruit-filled pancakes are served with salty and fresh preserved radish and meat.

The combination of salty and sweet is delicious.

After the storm, Xu Ming'er said to Lu Qingqing with admiration in his eyes:

"You are very careful and even asked Xiaotao to test for poison. If it were me, I would have died of poison by now if it was really poisonous."

Lu Qingqing smiled helplessly and said, "It's always better to be cautious."

She had already experienced the power of poison.

Last time, Concubine Shu almost disfigured her with just a little Rhodiola rosea juice. If the person who poisoned her had been a little more ruthless, it would have been her life that was destroyed.

Therefore, people who use poison are cruel and must be guarded against.

She continued:

“However, Concubine Xian is quite a good person.

"Even though he no longer has the power to manage the six palaces, he still cares about the food and drink of the concubines when they travel."

"On this point alone, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang cannot compare to her. I'm afraid that the power to assist in managing the six palaces will return to her sooner or later."

Xu Ming'er nodded in agreement.

She and her sister were devoted to practicing martial arts and never took Li Xuansheng seriously, so naturally they were indifferent to the palace fighting.

But she liked Lu Qingqing's sincerity, so she also agreed with Lu Qingqing's views.

After lunch, time in the carriage began to become boring. The carriage was shaking and several people kept dozing off.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk.

It wasn't long before we arrived at our first night's camp.

In modern times, Lu Qingqing is also a camping enthusiast after work. He often goes hiking and camping with friends, carrying a tent on his back.

After she got off the carriage, she was shocked by the size of the camp at first sight.

The yurt camps were lined up one after another. The camps were square inside and round outside, with a yellow curtain city in the middle and a net city outside. There were also Eight Banners soldiers patrolling outside. It could be said that the camps were well guarded with layers of defense.

Lu Qingqing sighed inwardly.

Oh my God, is this the power of imperial power?

Before she saw the emperor's camp, she thought that the small tents used for camping in the wild were the technological products of modern civilization. However, compared with the scale of the camp before her, it was like a small nose encountering a behemoth!

Just like in the carriage, Lu Qingqing was assigned to the same tent as Xu Guan's daughter.

Although her tent was smaller than those of other concubines, it was much larger than the tent she used when camping in modern times.

Lu Qingqing excitedly turned around in the tent. She didn’t expect that she could continue her camping hobby here!

She fished out a few banknotes from her belongings.

"Erxi, we'll go pick some wild vegetables around the camp later. Go ask the accompanying royal chef for some onions, fresh meat, seasonings, and a griddle for making pancakes."

"Let's have teppanyaki barbecue tonight!"

Going camping with sizzling barbecue is simply wonderful!

Erxi's face was full of question marks, and he was at a loss as to what to do with the banknote.

But it’s really not Erxi’s fault. It’s understandable that she didn’t know about this.

After all, the barbecue technology of this era was still at the stage of skewering and grilling over a fire, so people naturally didn't know what teppanyaki was.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "You will know in a while."

Although Erxi was confused, she always admired Lu Qingqing's insights into food.

Although the young lady never cooks herself and always only instructs Sanpang, the dishes she makes always satisfy her appetite.

Erxi had a face full of questions, but he still meticulously went to the imperial chef to ask for the ingredients according to the list given by Lu Qingqing.

Now, Lu Qingqing is the new favorite, so when she asks the imperial chef for something, he will naturally be willing to cooperate, and she won’t get it for free.

While Erxi was preparing ingredients, Lu Qingqing took the Xu sisters to pick wild vegetables around the camp.

As soon as she arrived at the camp, she noticed that the surrounding ecological environment was excellent and the plants were growing lushly.

Before long, we had picked a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms.

They divided the work and cooperated with each other to wash and cut the prepared ingredients.

During this autumn hunt, Sanpang was left in the palace to look after the house, so he asked a few guards to help them set up the griddle, and the preparations for the iron plate barbecue were completed.

Start grilling!

Li Xuansheng had been traveling by boat and car for a whole day, and the first thing he did after arriving at the camp was to deal with official business.

It was much easier for ministers to seek an audience with the emperor in the camp than in the palace, so he was more tired on this trip than in the palace.

After the meeting was over, Li Xuansheng had to leave the tent to inspect the situation in Anza before he had time to have dinner.

Eunuch He Qing's stomach had been growling for a long time. He wanted to persuade the emperor to have his meal, but he didn't dare to. He could only follow him on patrol pitifully.

After taking a few steps, Li Xuansheng smelled a strong aroma of oil, which aroused his appetite.

He asked, "He Qing, when did the imperial chef become so skilled?"

He Qing was also very puzzled.

The imperial chef clearly prepared a cold food platter tonight, so why is there such a smoked aroma?

He smiled awkwardly and made up an excuse.

"Your Majesty, perhaps a few guards are roasting game."

Li Xuansheng glanced at He Qing.

As soon as I saw He Qing's awkward smile, I knew he had made it up. I had to go and see for myself what was going on.

He followed the scent and unexpectedly came to Lu Qingqing's tent.

Outside the tent, Lu Qingqing, Xu Guannv, and their accompanying maids were busy around a large iron plate.

On the iron plate, the meat slices are sizzling with oil and the aroma is fragrant.

That’s the scent!

This is too delicious!

Li Xuansheng swallowed.

At this time, Lu Qingqing and the others were eating happily and did not notice Li Xuansheng standing behind them.

Lu Qingqing picked up a piece of roasted meat and said as she ate it:

"It smells so good! It would be even better with some rice wine!"

Li Xuansheng was very pleased to see her eating with relish and her chubby face, which was so adorable.

As he walked forward, he joked:

"If you want to drink, why don't you ask me for it?"
