Chapter 831 Who wouldn’t like His Royal Highness Prince Bao?
"The craftsmen in the Imperial Household Department are very skilled and quick. I'm sure they'll be able to make a replica of the silver chain in less than three days."
Minglang was still thinking about the silver chain. Although it was annoying when it dangled in front of her during the competition, she had to admit that the silver chain was quite beautiful.
Especially when it was wrapped around Han Qi's hand.
"It's just a silver chain. Your Highness, don't take it to heart."
Han Qi slid his fingertips across his waist, and the silver chain was still lying inside the waist belt.
"Your Highness, is there anything you cannot eat?"
Minglang thought about it and realized that all the food he had eaten in the palace over the years was cooked in the Empress Dowager's small kitchen. He didn't know what her food restrictions were.
"Probably not. The purpose of a bonfire drinking party is to have fun. There's no need to change anything just for me. I'm here to fit in with everyone."
Minglang really likes life in the military camp. Everyone can be fighting fiercely one second, and the next second they can gather around a table to eat, drink and chat.
If you have any questions, you can just say them directly, no one will be shy or hesitant.
At least after spending these few days together, the military camp is like a big family to her, with many people in it, and her joining will not change anything in the camp.
On the contrary, she was deeply touched. No wonder her mother sent her here. Life in the military camp was really different from that in the palace.
"Tonight we have venison and yak meat sent by His Majesty. Eating too much might cause a sore throat. The tea is ready, Your Highness, don't forget to drink it."
Minglang entered the military camp and saw that all the soldiers who passed by her had happy smiles on their faces. Ovens were set up in various places in the camp.
"Isn't there a bonfire and drinking party at General Han's place today?"
Minglang's eyes followed the chatting and laughing soldiers as they walked away. Since arriving at the military camp, there have been competitions every day. The area around Han Qi's training ground was filled with the smell of blood. It was the first time she had seen such a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the army.
"His Majesty learned that there would be a bonfire gathering today, and he felt that the joy of sharing is worse than that of enjoying it alone, so he sent many gifts over."
This is something the Queen Mother would do. Minglang is looking forward to the bonfire drinking party tonight.
A folk song came from somewhere, light and pleasant to the ears. Minglang was influenced by the relaxed atmosphere and his mood became high.
"Don't just stand here. Let's go. Let me see how the training grounds look. I wonder if we can cover up the bloody smell."
Minglang's last whisper reached Han Qi's ears. Looking at the young girl beside him, Han Qi suppressed his unpresentable thoughts.
"Everything has been arranged. Your Highness, please come and review it in person."
Minglang has become accustomed to the smell of blood under Han Qi's hands these days, so it doesn't matter even if he can't cover it up.
Every year they would kill and bleed animals at the dinner in the hunting grounds. Although they were far away, the fishy smell would still be carried by the changing wind direction. She had been used to it since she was a child following her mother.
"Okay, but if the arrangement isn't good enough, General Han will have to accept the punishment."
Minglang just said it as a joke and didn't expect Han Qi to agree.
Looking into Han Qi's smiling eyes, Minglang remembered the stars he saw from the Star-Picking Tower.
Minglang secretly complained in his heart that General Han’s eyes were quite beautiful.
Han Qi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by His Highness and coughed lightly. The moment the two looked at each other, Han Qi unconsciously looked away. Minglang was puzzled, but when they arrived at the place, her attention was completely attracted by the rearranged martial arts training ground.
There was no smell of blood at all. The originally bloody and violent martial arts training ground was now filled with flowers. When you got closer, you could even smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
The bonfire was clearly enough to illuminate the entire venue, but red lanterns were hung everywhere, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere that made people's hearts get excited.
"General Han, you can't tell normally. Was it like this during the bonfire drinking parties in the past?"
Minglang took back his previous words that Han Qi was a cold-faced devil. People have two sides. The layout of this brightly lit martial arts training ground was completely different from that in the daytime.
Minglang picked up a trimmed flower from the training ground, turned around and looked at Han Qi through the flower. His evil eyes were not as scary as before.
Han Qi stood where he was, quietly watching the girl lowering her head to smell the flowers. She was more beautiful than the flowers. The bustle around them had nothing to do with him at the moment. There was only one person in his eyes.
His style for many years has been to do things even though he knows it is impossible, but at this moment he backed down.
Rather than making his feelings known to the girl and making her feel conflicted, it would be better for him to just stay by her side. As long as she is happy, that is the greatest happiness in his life.
"Yes, it was like this in the past. If Your Highness likes it, I will invite Your Highness to come over and have fun together in the future."
When the deputy generals heard the general's words, they rolled their eyes to the sky where the two men couldn't see.
Think about how they lived in the past. After the last fight, a group of people would stand next to the martial arts training ground, smelling the bloody smell that had not yet been cleaned up. They would kill and roast the sheep themselves, and swallow them even if they were burnt.
Not to mention that all kinds of meat are available now, even having chili powder is a luxury.
There was only salt and sugar in the big kitchen, no other seasonings at all.
The only consolation is that the mutton is of good quality and tastes good no matter how it is grilled.
As expected, a man who is moved by love is the most terrifying. Even the cold-faced King of Hell cannot escape.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they would be killed by General Han if they exposed his lies.
After thinking for a moment, everyone looked at the prince's happy face and silently suppressed their thoughts.
Garlic bird, garlic bird, who wouldn’t like His Royal Highness Prince Bao, who is approachable and has no airs at all?
Thinking of this, everyone quickened their pace in peeling garlic. They enjoyed the grilled meat with garlic and a pot of wine. They were able to enjoy this happy day only because His Royal Highness Prince Bao was here.
Otherwise, according to General Han's usual style, they would have killed the sheep and roasted them on the rack by now.
"Is it your turn to roast the lamb today?"
Yan Yunting counted the order on the list and pointed at the five people opposite him.
"There's too much meat this time. If there are only five of us roasting it, we won't be able to finish it even if we wait until dawn."
The five men moved to the sides, revealing the piles of flesh behind them.
"We have two more racks that have been set up today. If you are not in a hurry to eat the meat, we are willing to roast it slowly."
Just by looking at the speed at which everyone was peeling garlic, you could tell that everyone was hungry. Those with good appetites had already started eating raw garlic with wine.
"Never mind, come on, it's okay for us to be hungry. Your Highness has competed twice today."
No one dares to let His Royal Highness Prince Bao starve.
The charcoal fire in the rack was lit, and six or seven racks were grilling together. Soon, Minglang could smell the aroma of meat.
"Everyone's cooking skills are excellent, and they are on par with the chefs at the hunting grounds."
