Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The next day.

The first outing in spring is hunting in the forest.

The hunting place this time is no safer than the usual hunting grounds, there will always be some rare wild beasts scurrying in, and accidents are not uncommon.

As the previous emperor, he would naturally only talk about wandering on the edge of the forest.

But after the current emperor made some remarks, his eyes swept deeply to the surrounding princes and princes, and finally fell on Li Wang.

"King Li's martial arts are so good that the wild beasts in the deep forest are no problem."

"nature!"

Li Wang laughed loudly, his body like a hill trembled slightly, but his eyes were extraordinarily sharp.

The emperor said again: "Since that's the case, let's relax and have fun today. If someone can hunt rare and exotic beasts, I will definitely reward you a lot!"

After saying this, several princes showed surprise on their faces, and even several concubines changed their faces instantly.

Although there are many sons of the emperor, most of them are young.

It would be fine if it was just on the edge of the forest before.

Now, what the emperor meant was that he wanted King Li to go deep into the mountains and forests to hunt rare and exotic beasts. If the princes didn't want to lose face in front of their father, they would have to go in and have a look anyway. It would be too dangerous!

The queen is still missing.

Only Concubine De Gui sat next to the emperor, but she had been reprimanded because of Li Jie's matter before, and now she dared not speak out.

Everyone was afraid to come out.

Only the Empress Dowager who was sitting by the side suddenly coughed a few times: "Since it's a spring outing, the emperor rewards hunting heroes and mourns the family, so he will also give a reward."

"Oh? The queen mother is also interested in participating in the outing?" The emperor rarely saw the queen mother be so active, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "This way, Xia Bai'an coaxed me all the way, and I actually tasted some fun of going out for an outing. This time, the Ai family will reward whoever shoots more birds."

Hearing this, several concubines and ministers felt relieved.

In the depths of the forest are some towering giant trees. If you want to shoot down birds, you only need to walk around the edges and pastures.

In this way, the emperor and empress dowagers have their own rewards, and even if the princes don't go into the deep forest, there is a reason for it.

Xia Bai'an and Mo Che were sitting in the middle of the banquet, they could not hear those people's intrigues.

Xia Bai'an only said: "The quality of the animal meat outside is naturally different, but it tastes the same when roasted. I also have some honey and seasoning here. You can have a good meal when you come back from hunting."

It's good to have space.

Although some daily necessities cannot be put in, you can bring a lot of seasonings and honey, and you can bake them on the nearby land later, without being surrounded by so many soldiers, and it is convenient to take things out of the space.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai'an's eyes lit up.

She had never eaten such a self-sufficient barbecue before!

Seeing that she liked it, Mo Che nodded slightly, and told Mo Qian, "You take good care of her."

"Got it, Dad."

Mo Qian nodded, and found the dishes to prepare seasonings with Xia Bai'an. The two completely ignored Meng Ke and Ying Hongxiu, chatted and waited for Mo Che to return with a full load.

And all of this was seen by Li Chen not far away.

That was not Xia Bai'an's child.

Does Xia Bai'an like it so much?

Just when he was thinking of going crazy, King Li suddenly said: "Won't King An go into the forest?"

Li Chen came back to his senses, shook his head, and pointed to his injured leg: "There's nothing you can do."

"Hey……"

King Li sighed for a long time, "King An really doesn't know how to take care of his body, he always looks sick and crooked, which is completely different from your father."

As soon as this remark came out, both the Empress Dowager Emperor and King An changed their expressions slightly.

Li Wang smiled contemptuously, took the long knife, bow and arrow from his subordinates, and went into the forest to hunt with a smile.

The few courtiers nearby couldn't help whispering.

"This Li Wang is really daring!"

"The emperor doesn't move him, and it's useless for us to talk about it."

"This Li Wang...has been staring at no one for too long."

The emperor also listened to these whispers, his eyes full of murderous intent.

King An and the queen mother just exchanged a look, and continued to do their own things, ignoring them.

It's not their turn to worry about Prince Li's affairs.

It's just that Li Chen always looked at Xia Bai'an from time to time, and Xu Yingjun beside him saw that something was wrong with Li Chen, so he quickly handed a piece of orange to his mouth: "My lord, you can't eat barbecue until the hunting is over, eat some fruit first." Fill your belly."

Li Chen regained his senses impatiently, and swept away Xu Yingjun's hand.

"You can eat by yourself. I didn't see you being so considerate in the mansion before."

"Inside, there are only you and me, so naturally there is no need to be courteous. But now outside, there are so many beauties, I am afraid that the vixen who came from somewhere has seduced your soul, my lord."

Xu Yingjun spoke coquettishly, and persistently stuffed the orange into Li Chen's mouth, but there was only deep disgust in his eyes.

Kang Heng next to him just closed his eyes and remained silent.

The prince always treats the concubine in a flat way, only asking for respect as a guest.

On the contrary, the concubine made an inch of everything and acted like a baby wantonly, always thinking that the prince loves her the most.

In fact, Li Chen pampered Xu Yingjun because he needed help from the Xu family. In addition, he had met countless women outside, so he was more than enough to deal with a simple Xu Yingjun.

It's a pity that Xu Yingjun didn't know about it.

When everyone entered the forest, the sound of neighing horses resounded through the pasture.

Xia Bai'an watched Mo Che's figure disappear into the crowd from a distance, continued to season the spices, and murmured: "What delicious food can I eat later, hehe."

She hummed an incoherent tune, but she enjoyed it.

Mo Qian was not surprised, and hummed along. The mother and son were unexpectedly able to play together.

About half an hour.

The eunuch waiting outside the pasture suddenly shouted: "Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army! One deer hunted and four hares returned!"

Seeing yellow sand and dust flying up, Mo Che rode his horse and ran from it, threw down a dead stag on the spot, and held four hares tied with hemp ropes in his hands, he dismounted gracefully and knelt down in front of the emperor.

Sun Taiwei was the first to applaud, and said with a smile: "Mo Che is indeed a young talent! It took only half an hour to return with his prey! What a formidable young man!"

Everyone also applauded.

Mo Che only said.

"I am worried that the emperor and the empress dowager will be waiting for a long time, so I deliberately entered and exited quickly to present this stag."

Hearing this, Taiwei Sun's eyes were filled with relief—he really can speak.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and unexpectedly followed the crowd to applaud, and suddenly said: "Reward!"

There was thunderous applause.

Mo Che got up calmly, without saying anything, but turned back with the four rabbits amidst the applause, and stood in front of Xia Bai'an and Mo Qian.

"Go to the lake and bake."

"Great!"

Xia Bai'an got up happily, pulled Mo Qian, ordered the attendant to bring something, and then followed Mo Che to the lake, talking and laughing.

Seeing that Mo Che didn't continue to ask for credit, the emperor smiled and said, "Clean up the venison and give it to the meritorious officials."

This Mo Che is indeed extraordinary.
