The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

I don’t know how long I slept. When Yun Zhining woke up, the light outside had dimmed. At dusk, the entire earth was surrounded by a mass of orange. It looked beautiful, but when the light faded, there was endless darkness behind it.

Yun Zhining shook her head and finally became a little more sober.

"Your Majesty, hasn't Dong Ling brought anyone here yet?"

"I guess something delayed him."

Qi Yejing touched her head and said softly.

"What's wrong, are you scared?"

Yun Zhining shook her head.

"As long as the emperor is here, I am not afraid."

Qi Yejing smiled.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Just bear with it for a few more hours. When the day breaks, they will definitely find us."

Yun Zhining nodded obediently.

"I will obey the emperor."

They hadn't eaten for most of the day and were very hungry.

Yun Zhining was fine, as she was a woman and didn't eat much. But Qi Yejing was in his prime, a seven-foot tall man, and after being hungry for such a long time, his stomach was already empty.

However, he was an emperor after all, so he could not show weakness in front of his concubines, so he could only endure it.

Yun Zhining didn't react at first, but then she saw that he didn't look well, his hands were covering his stomach, and his expression was solemn. Then she thought about what happened along the way and realized that he was hungry.

She smirked.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

"No, maybe I'm tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

Yun Zhining nodded.

"Okay, then you take a rest first. I'm hungry. Should I go get something to eat?"

Eat something?

Qi Yejing quickly opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"Where did you get these things in the wilderness?"

"Of course I brought it when I came here."

Yun Zhining stood up and walked to the horse, picked up the cloth bag, took out the flattened box, and took two pieces of cake to feed the horse.

The horses ate happily and their spirits were much higher.

She took out the water bag again and fed some to the horse.

"Your Majesty, would you like something to eat or drink?"

Qi Yejing stared at the water bag that had been touched by the horse, not knowing whether he should nod.

After not receiving his reply for a long time, Yun Zhining looked down and finally figured out the problem.

She smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I got the wrong one."

She took out another brown water bag, and Qi Yejing took it.

"Are you sure this water bag is for people to drink?"

"Of course I have confirmed it. The gray water bag is for the horse, and the brown water bag is for me. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can look at the words embroidered under the water bag."

Are there words under the water bag?

Qi Yejing looked over with doubt.

Sure enough, there was a "Ma" character embroidered under the gray water bag, and a "Ning" character embroidered under the brown water bag.

He completely dispelled his doubts, opened the water bag, and gulped down the water.

He hadn't had any water for several hours, and his throat was about to smoke. He needed to cool down quickly.

After drinking half a water bag and eating five or six pieces of cakes, Qi Yejing finally felt a little fuller, and the depression between his brows disappeared a little.

"Luckily you brought these things with you, otherwise, the two of us might have starved to death or died of thirst."

Yun Zhining raised her eyebrows and said proudly.

"How about it, I'm smart, right?"

Qi Yejing nodded, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"How did you think of preparing these?"

"I have to thank Concubine Qi for this."

"The queen said that when she was thirteen years old, she followed her father and brother to participate in the autumn hunt. Unexpectedly, the horse got scared and took her running around, and then unfortunately she fell into a trap."

"She stayed in the trap for two days and one night before she was found. When she was found, she was unconscious, so she has always remembered this lesson."

"When the queen learned that I was going to participate in the autumn hunt, she was very worried. She was afraid that I would encounter the same situation, so she told me to bring more things with me when I go out, so that if I really encounter such a situation, I will not starve to death or die of thirst."

"I see."

Qi Yejing smiled, and his doubts were dispelled.

Concubine Qi had indeed encountered such a situation, and every year thereafter, when she went to participate in the autumn hunt, she would bring a water bag and food with her in case of emergency.

One year, she even saved his life with this!

So when Yun Zhining said that this idea was given to her by Concubine Qi, he believed it immediately.

Otherwise, Yun Zhining might not be able to go back alive to see her children this time.

At this time, Yun Zhining didn't know that she had successfully escaped the disaster.

The pastries were crushed and the taste was greatly reduced, but they were food after all and could not be wasted, so Yun Zhining and Qi Yejing still finished eating them.

After eating, Yun Zhining picked up a few sticks, built a rack, and then lit a fire with a fire starter. She took out a small pot and poured the water in the water bag into it. After the water boiled, she put a piece of wavy dough, some small meatballs, dried vegetables and some cooked eggs in it.

The cooked egg was peeled, placed in the palm of her hand, cut into small slices with a knife and put in. Yun Zhining also threw a piece of diced ham in it.

Although it is not as good as the imperial meal, but in this environment, eating such food is already a rare delicacy.

After witnessing all this, Qi Yejing felt numb all over.

"Aning, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

"Um,……"

Yun Zhining supported her head and thought for a long time before shaking her head.

"So many, I can't even count them all."

"However, we still have several decades to get along with each other. When the time comes, Your Majesty can slowly explore it. This will be much more interesting than me telling you directly."

"That's true."

Qi Yejing smiled.

"What was that dough you just threw in there? Why does it smell so good?"

"Oh, I read this in a miscellany. It said that you need to pick the best fine flour, beat egg white into it, knead it into dough, and then roll it into a smooth ball."

"Then use a noodle press to press it into noodles, and then use chopsticks to make them into wavy shapes. Press them with your hands for a while to fix the shape."

"Then carefully move it to the pot. Once the noodles are steamed, fry them in oil to completely fix their shape. Then you're done."

"I see."

A picture emerged in his mind, and Qi Yejing suddenly understood.

"So, the hot pot base was also seen in that miscellany?"

"Yes, I once saved a man. He had nothing and had no way to repay me for saving his life, so he gave me that notebook."

"However, Yun Fulan took a fancy to the miscellany and had always wanted it. I was worried that she would snatch it away, so I wrote down everything in it and then burned the book."

When Qi Yejing heard the voice, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You are quite smart."

"I can't help it. She forced me to do it."

I don’t know what Yun Zhining was thinking about, but her expression became depressed.

"I thought I would remember it for the rest of my life, but after only two or three years, I have forgotten most of it. The remaining part is also vague and I can't remember it clearly."

"it does not matter."

Qi Yejing patted her shoulder and soothed her softly.

"Maybe it's because you gave birth to three children at such a young age. People always say that a woman becomes stupid for three years after getting pregnant. You got pregnant twice, so you will become stupid for six years."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Zhining's expression became ferocious.

"How dare you say that? Who is the reason why I became so stupid?"

"that,……"

Qi Yejing touched the tip of his nose and said with a guilty conscience.

"Actually, I don't think what they say is necessarily right."

"I don't think you're stupid at all. Our Aning is the smartest woman in the world. In the whole of Daye, there is no one who can be compared with you."

"Bah, who is your Aning, just trying to flatter herself?"

Qi Yejing grabbed her neck, pulled her into his arms, pinched her face, and grinned evilly.

"Of course it's you."

"You are going to give birth to ten children for me, how can you run away halfway?"

"What do you mean ten? Do you take me as a sow?"

"How is that possible? How can a sow be as pretty as you?"

"Ahhh, Qi Yejing, go to hell!"
