The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Soon, the guards returned from their hunt, each carrying a dazzling array of prey: glossy pheasants, lively rabbits, robust deer, and wild goats with thick fur. Chen Mengyao stood by, methodically directing them to clean the game, removing the fur and entrails, leaving only the tenderest meat.

Next, she specifically instructed her guards to bring her a cleaned pheasant, preparing to stew a pot of delicious chicken soup. She took out a sharp cleaver and several cutting boards, skillfully cutting the pheasant into pieces, each one perfectly sized. Then, she washed some precious medicinal herbs and added them to the soup pot along with the chicken pieces, simmering them over low heat.

Meanwhile, another group of guards caught quite a few fresh fish. They quickly cleaned them by the river, removing the scales and innards, and then carefully brought them to Chen Mengyao. Chen Mengyao picked up the seasonings and sprinkled them evenly over the fish, allowing the fish to fully absorb the aroma.

Meanwhile, the guards had already started a fire beside the grill, the flames leaping and emitting a warm glow. Chen Mengyao directed the guards who had prepared the prey to cut the meat into small pieces and then skewer them. Everyone followed instructions, working methodically and efficiently, the whole scene proceeding smoothly.

Before long, the maids had finished washing the vegetables. They shook off the water droplets from the leaves and arranged them neatly on the table, awaiting Chen Mengyao's next instructions. Looking at the ingredients before her, Chen Mengyao felt a surge of creative inspiration and decided to prepare a lavish barbecue feast.

So, she took out a very large grill from her spatial storage and had her guards place it in a suitable spot. Then, she directed them to place a plump lamb on the grill, preparing to roast a fragrant whole lamb. She picked up a seasoning brush and brushed the lamb with the appropriate amount of seasoning to enhance the flavor. Ouyang Han saw this and volunteered to help brush on the seasoning; the two worked together seamlessly and quickly completed the seasoning process.

To make the mutton more tender and juicy, Chen Mengyao decided to marinate it first. She instructed her guards to wait for 15 minutes before restarting the fire to roast it, so that the mutton could fully absorb the aroma of the seasonings.

While waiting, Chen Mengyao directed the maids to skewer the vegetables, preparing to grill some refreshing vegetable skewers. Everyone busied themselves, and the entire lawn was filled with laughter and busy figures.

Finally, after much effort, the fire roared to life, its light illuminating everyone's faces and bringing a touch of warmth. Chen Mengyao calmly directed her guards, who carefully placed skewers of fresh fish and meat onto the specially made grill over the flames. As the flames danced, they grilled the meat and brushed on barbecue sauce, and soon the fish and various meats turned golden and crispy, their skins glistening with an enticing sheen. A rich aroma wafted through the camp, making everyone's mouths water.

Meanwhile, two quarters of an hour passed quietly while the fish was grilling. Chen Mengyao seized the opportunity and signaled to the guards to begin preparing the whole roasted lamb. She personally demonstrated how to operate the massive grill, adding charcoal to keep the flames burning brightly while slowly rotating the grill to ensure the lamb was heated evenly, with every inch of its skin roasted to perfection.

Meanwhile, Chen Mengyao's already cooked rice and stewed soup emitted an enticing aroma. She considerately arranged for the guards to bring several bowls of hot soup to the secret guards busy roasting the lamb, informing them that after the others had eaten the fish, other meats, and rice, they could take over the task of roasting the whole lamb. The lamb would take about half an hour to cook through; although it was a long time, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, the others in the camp were also busy. They sat around the fire, roasting various meats and vegetables while enjoying the surrounding scenery. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth in a golden cloak. Soon, it was sunset, and Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han walked hand in hand to the other side of the camp to quietly watch the entire sunset. This was the first time they had watched a sunset in such a beautiful setting; the scenery before them was intoxicating. The two clung tightly to each other, savoring this rare moment of tranquility. Only when the sun had completely disappeared did they reluctantly return to the group.

The maids had already brought out the roasted meats and vegetables, along with bowls of soup, and everyone ate with great satisfaction. The guards also took turns eating, enjoying their meals and soups while savoring the various delicious roasted meats, their hearts filled with gratitude and contentment. They all felt it was their blessing to serve such a considerate and well-organized master.

Soon, the first group of guards, having eaten and drunk their fill, voluntarily gave up their spots to allow another group of guards to eat, thus replacing the guards who had been roasting the whole lamb. Everyone took turns resting and standing guard, ensuring that the entire camp remained safe and orderly at all times.

Finally, all the roasted meat was devoured, and the whole roasted lamb, golden and crispy, was ready. Chen Mengyao directed the guards and bodyguards to take the lamb down, cut it into pieces, and distribute it to everyone. She also brought out some drinks to share. Everyone ate and chatted, their faces beaming with happiness. Only after everyone had finished the roasted lamb did they disperse to arrange their own rest and duty shifts. The camp returned to its usual peace and tranquility.

After eating and drinking their fill, Chen Mengyao looked around and saw only darkness, with only a few scattered embers flickering faintly. She smiled slightly, took out several solar-powered lamps from her spatial storage, and carefully placed them inside and outside each tent. Instantly, the entire camp was bathed in soft, bright light. Not only that, she also prepared flashlights, warm clothing, and insect repellent for the guards on duty, instructing them to carry them at all times to prepare for the challenges of the night. The guards were deeply moved by the princess's thoughtful care and secretly vowed to protect her safety even more diligently.

In addition, Chen Mengyao took out some medicinal powder and distributed it to the soldiers who were about to enter the tents to rest, instructing them to sprinkle it around the tents to prevent the intrusion of snakes, insects, and rodents. After making the arrangements, she and Ouyang Han strolled around the camp, enjoying the tranquility and coolness of the night to aid digestion of their dinner.

Only when the feeling of fullness in their stomachs gradually subsided did the two return to Chen Mengyao's tent. She suggested they take a bath together in the space, as Ouyang Han often came here to bathe, and Chen Mengyao had specially prepared several sets of pajamas and outerwear for him in the wardrobe. Originally, she planned to bathe alone first, but Ouyang Han's coquettish charm softened her heart, and in the end, the two decided to bathe together. In the misty steam, their feelings for each other heated up again, but this time, thanks to the nourishment from the spiritual spring water she had drunk that morning, Chen Mengyao did not fall asleep from exhaustion as before.

To ensure she could wake up early to watch the sunrise the next day, Chen Mengyao set an alarm and planned to use the space's special function to adjust the flow of time within the space to twice that of the outside world. This way, she could sleep for a full eight hours inside the space while only four hours would pass outside, allowing her to wake up around 4 AM to greet the beautiful sunrise. So, she hurriedly ran outside the supermarket, adjusted the space's time settings, and then returned to her tent to prepare for sleep.

Lying in bed, Chen Mengyao was filled with joy. Today, she not only saw the happy smiles on the faces of the people, but also enjoyed a delicious barbecue feast with Ouyang Han and the others. This was a rare gathering for them, making her feel the warmth and harmony of the team. However, when she recalled everything, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to take a video to record this wonderful moment. But she quickly let it go, thinking: I'll take some photos and videos when we watch the sunrise tomorrow, so that I can leave more beautiful memories of this trip.

Under the warm light, Chen Mengyao held Ouyang Han tightly, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for the future. She slowly closed her eyes and drifted into a sweet dream.

For Chen Mengyao, this sleep felt like being immersed in an incredibly beautiful dream, filling her with sweetness and contentment. In this peaceful and comfortable sleep, all her fatigue and worries gradually dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of tranquility within her heart.

Time slipped by quietly, and soon it was time for her alarm. Chen Mengyao slowly and gently opened her eyes, like a lazy cat just waking up. She carefully pulled her arm, which was being held down by Ouyang Han, away little by little, afraid of waking him who was still fast asleep beside her.

After completing this action, Chen Mengyao quickly got up, dressed, and washed and tidied herself up as fast as she could. Then, she skillfully took out a sleek digital camera from her storage space and walked out lightly. When she stepped out of the tent, it was still pitch black.

Several clever and obedient maids had been waiting quietly outside for some time. Upon seeing Chen Mengyao appear, they all bowed respectfully. Chen Mengyao smiled and waved to them, signaling them to follow her. Then, she led the maids towards a place with a wide-open view. Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed her hair, carrying the fresh scent of flowers and grass, which delighted everyone.

"Girls, today I'll teach you how to take photos and videos with this amazing gadget." Chen Mengyao waved the camera in her hand. The maids opened their eyes wide with curiosity.

Chen Mengyao first gave a brief explanation of the camera's structure and basic functions, then pointed to the mountains in the distance that were just beginning to emerge, "Come on, let's try taking a picture of this scenery first." She adjusted the focus, pressed the shutter, and the crisp sound drew gasps from the maids.

Then she handed the camera to a quick-witted maid and patiently taught her how to focus and press the shutter. The maid took a picture, nervous yet excited. Although the image was a little crooked, everyone was happy.

Chen Mengyao then demonstrated the video recording function, the camera panning across the campsite and capturing the quiet and peaceful scene of this early morning. The maids were eager to try it out, taking turns to take photos and videos, their laughter echoing throughout the campsite.

Finally, a round of intense and fulfilling teaching came to a successful end. She smiled and handed the exquisite camera in her hand to the two maids beside her, carefully instructing them, "Please take some good photos and videos of the prince and me later!" After saying that, she turned and gracefully walked into the tent and entered the space.

Upon entering the space, she intended to gently wake him, who was still fast asleep. However, to her surprise, when she approached, she found that he was already dressed and methodically making his final preparations before leaving!

Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself: This man is always so considerate and quick to act. Then, the two smiled at each other, appeared in the tent together, and then walked out of the tent hand in hand.

Meanwhile, two clever and obedient maids and two guards followed closely behind, while the hidden guards remained concealed behind them. The group headed towards the best spot to watch the sunrise. At this moment, the sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn, as if nature itself, the magical artist, was meticulously painting a beautiful picture.

Before long, they arrived at the spot that was hailed as an excellent viewpoint. Everyone found comfortable seats and settled down, quietly waiting for the sunrise.

Just then, the rising sun, like a shy maiden, slowly peeked over the horizon. Its soft light, like a golden veil, gently draped over everyone.

Ouyang Han slowly extended his right hand and gently grasped Chen Mengyao's slender, delicate hand beside him. His gaze remained fixed intently on the gradually brightening and dazzling horizon in the distance, as if he wanted to forever freeze this beautiful moment deep in his heart.
