Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

When Concubine Yao learned that the emperor was going to take the prince and the crown prince to the hunting ground, she was instantly gossipy. She was not the kind of vase that would only stay in the deep palace. Back then, riding horses and archery were no problem for her. So, she decided to find an opportunity to mention it to the emperor, and she also wanted to join in the fun.

Imperial Concubine Yao came before the Emperor, her beautiful eyes twinkling with cunning. She said delicately, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to take the prince and the crown prince to go hunting!"

The emperor raised his head and looked at Concubine Yao's quirky look. He couldn't help but laugh: "Oh? My beloved concubine is also interested in this?"

Imperial Concubine Yao nodded, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: "Of course, hunting is such an exciting thing, who wouldn't want to participate? Besides, Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that I used to be an expert in horseback riding and archery!"

When the emperor heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then it turned into admiration: "Haha, it seems that my beloved concubine is an all-round talent! In this case, then you can go with us. With you, this hunt will definitely be more interesting."

Imperial Concubine Yao was overjoyed after hearing this, but she had to keep a calm face: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I will definitely perform well and will not let you down." She was already very happy in her heart. She was ready to show her skills in this hunting! Moreover, she had a little idea, which was to take the opportunity to invite Suning to come and see what was so great about this legendary figure.

So, Imperial Concubine Yao suggested to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, since this hunt is so grand, why not invite some ministers to come along? This will not only enhance the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but also allow everyone to share the fun of hunting."

The emperor listened to Concubine Yao's proposal and thought it made sense. He nodded and said, "My beloved concubine is right. Then let's pass on the order and invite all the ministers to participate in this hunt." Concubine Yao was secretly delighted after hearing this.

The morning sun gently shines on the magnificent palace, and the glazed tiles inside the palace walls shine brightly in the sun. Deep in the palace, a personal attendant dressed in dark blue eunuch clothing walks hurriedly on the gravel road to the various palaces. In his hand, he holds a roll of bright yellow silk imperial edict, which is the emperor's will, representing the supreme imperial power.

The eunuch's face was solemn and dignified, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty. He read the contents of the imperial edict clearly and forcefully: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that today's weather is fine and suitable for hunting. I hereby order all ministers to bring their children to the royal hunting grounds to participate in the event."

As the eunuch's voice echoed in the empty palace, the originally quiet palace suddenly became busy. Ministers followed the order and gathered with their children. The children's faces were filled with excitement and curiosity. They chattered about the fun of hunting, or looked up at the tall buildings of the palace, their eyes flashing with yearning for the unknown world.

After completing his task of announcing the emperor's decree, the eunuch did not leave immediately. He stood aside, carefully observing the reactions of the ministers and the emperor's children, making sure that everyone could accurately understand the emperor's will. His eyes revealed a kind of loyalty and responsibility, as if to say, "I must ensure that the emperor's will is conveyed properly."

As the last minister left, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. He turned and walked deep into the palace, ready to report to the emperor. Behind him were a group of ministers and their children who were about to embark on a hunting expedition.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Su had just returned to the courtyard with a serious expression after listening to the imperial edict in the palace. Su Qianqian walked forward and noticed the solemnity of her father's expression.

"Ning'er, the emperor invites us to hunt together." Prime Minister Su said briefly, with a hint of unquestionableness in his tone.

Su Qianqian's heart sank, realizing that this hunt was unusual, but she didn't ask any more questions, only replied softly: "Yes, father, I will prepare it now."

The father and daughter looked at each other. Although they didn't say it out loud, they both understood each other's worries. Then, they quickly packed their bags, led their horses out of the house, and set off for the hunting grounds.

Gu Peng and Gu Yuan, the two princes, were like two bright stars, shining against each other at the entrance of the hunting ground. Their gazes were like two sharp swords, piercing the mysterious forest ahead.

"Yumo, I always feel that this hunt is not simple." Gu Peng's voice was low and full of magnetism, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. His words revealed an indescribable alertness and uneasiness.

Gu Yuan tilted his head slightly, his deep eyes gleaming with wisdom. He smiled gently, as if he could see through everything: "Second brother, are you saying that there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this hunt?"

"That's right. And it might be aimed at Ning'er!" His eyes became more determined, "So, we must be careful and not take it lightly."

The two princes, one calm and cautious, the other extremely witty, their conversation seemed like a contest of wits and a collision of hearts.

"But, second brother! We grew up in this palace and are used to all those intrigues and deceptions. What about Ning'er...

A trace of worry flashed in Gu Peng's eyes, "Yumo, if something really happens, you must calm down and don't act rashly. "I'll take care of the rest. At this time, the emperor came slowly from a distance, and the eunuch beside the emperor said, "Get up!" A group of people walked towards the royal hunting ground.

The emperor led the prince, the crown prince and a group of ministers to the hunting ground. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, riding on horses, holding bows and arrows, ready to show their skills.

Imperial Concubine Yao also changed into riding clothes. She rode a white horse, looking particularly heroic. She looked around and found that all the ministers had arrived, except for Prime Minister Su's daughter, Su Ning. She was secretly anxious, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor came over and said to Concubine Yao: "My dear, everyone is ready. Let's get started now."

Imperial Concubine Yao hastily agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty. I can't wait to show my skills." But she was secretly praying in her heart, hoping that Suning could arrive as soon as possible, otherwise her plan would fail.
