Chapter 193: Sharing the Blessings
Princess Ankang lowered her head and said nothing.
Yu'er looked at Princess Ankang and saw her nodding slightly before explaining to Zhao Feng:
"Manager Zhao, it's all because of this book."
Yu'er said as she took out the book [Secrets of the Northern Territory] and showed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng looked at the book and his face changed drastically. He asked hurriedly:
"Where did you get this book?"
"It was recommended to us by Mr. Ye when we were borrowing books from Qianxing Pavilion yesterday and we were still short of one book."
"Manager Zhao, is there something wrong with this book?"
Yu'er saw that Manager Zhao looked wrong and asked nervously, fearing that they had borrowed a book they shouldn't have.
"It was Mr. Ye, then it's okay..."
Manager Zhao smiled awkwardly.
Logically speaking, this book shouldn't be on the bookshelf of Qianxing Pavilion.
Because it contains many secrets about the Northern Territory.
【Secrets of the Northern Border】The predecessor of this book was originally a collection of secret intelligence from the northern countries. When it was compiled, Zhao Feng also contributed a lot.
Although this kind of book was also secretly managed by Mr. Ye, the procedures for borrowing it were relatively complicated, and not everyone had the authority.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ye took the initiative to lend this book to Princess Ankang.
"What is Mr. Ye thinking?"
Zhao Feng shook his head secretly, and he already knew the reason why Princess Ankang's eyes were red and swollen.
It seems that the description of Beiliang in the book reminded Princess Ankang of her sad story.
"Your Highness, the matter of Beiliang cannot be completely determined."
"Although it has been fifteen years since the cold wave began."
"But in these fifteen years, no one has witnessed the end of Beiliang with their own eyes."
"Therefore, no one can determine what happened in the cold wave."
Although this was Zhao Feng's words of comfort, it also contained his own intentions.
The General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not just a position to help the emperor manage the harem.
Zhao Feng also shoulders the responsibility of collecting intelligence.
The emperor has lived in the palace for a long time. If he wants to get information from the outside world, he can only go through others.
In this matter, the emperor must be cautious, otherwise there is a risk of being deceived.
If what an emperor sees and hears is deliberately arranged by others.
Then who is this emperor doing this for? It is really necessary to think about it.
And among the many candidates, is there anyone more trustworthy than the eunuch?
Emperor Yongyuan has several intelligence teams under his command, and Zhao Feng is just one of them, mainly responsible for the affairs within the Daxing Dynasty.
Therefore, it was Zhao Feng's adopted son Zhao Bugao who brought Deng Weixian back.
Although the North Border Secrets summarizes all old stories, it is really not suitable for a child to read.
Especially this child has a great connection with the old stories in the book.
"Your Highness, why don't I help you return this book to Mr. Ye?"
Zhao Feng asked cautiously.
But Princess Ankang shook her head stubbornly with her eyes red and swollen.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao, but I want to finish reading this book."
"Maybe..."
"There will be a chance to enter the northern border in the future."
Princess Ankang said faintly.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng stopped persuading her.
"Okay, then let's do as Your Highness wishes."
Zhao Feng said so, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
But Zhao Feng's face then showed a smile, and he changed the subject:
"Your Highness, have you had lunch?"
"This old servant brought some supplements, Your Highness, why don't you try them?"
As he spoke, Zhao Feng quietly winked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan understood that this supplement should be the reward for his mission.
Zhao Feng opened the food box and took out the things inside. Yu'er hurried forward to help, very considerate.
Inside the food box was a large jar, and hot air was constantly gushing out of it.
As the jar was taken out of the food box, the faint aroma became stronger.
Li Xuan couldn't help but sniff it and found that it should be some kind of meat aroma.
Just by smelling it, you can tell that the things in the jar taste good.
"General Manager Zhao, why did you suddenly remember to send us delicious food?"
Princess Ankang, who was originally in a low mood, couldn't help but move her small nose. The aroma aroused the greed in her stomach, and then asked curiously.
"Your Highness doesn't know that this old servant loves Ah Xuan very much."
"I can't help but want to send it to Ah Xuan to eat when there is something good here."
Zhao Feng said shamelessly.
It seems that he has completely forgotten that this is Li Xuan's labor reward.
"This jar is stewed with the spinal cord essence of the iron-boned and powerful bull."
"Those big guys weighing thousands of pounds can only extract a small spoonful of one."
"This jar uses the spinal cord essence of ten iron-boned and powerful bulls."
Zhao Feng began to brag about the good things he brought.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er are here today, so he has to give himself some face.
Li Xuan is now immune to Zhao Fengtian's flattery, and he just wants to see how the food will turn out.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er were stunned by the first time they saw such sweet talk.
"Wow--"
"Zhao, what is the Iron-Bone Strong Bull?"
Princess Ankang asked curiously.
"You don't even know what it is, what the hell."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes.
But he was very happy to see Princess Ankang attracted by the things in front of her and regain her spirits.
Yu'er summoned a spoon and a bowl, and then poured out the stewed spinal cord in the jar, one bowl for each person.
"I don't need it, this thing has a special use, you kids can eat it."
Zhao Feng waved his hand and refused the stewed spinal cord handed over by Yu'er.
Yu'er looked at Princess Ankang.
Seeing that Zhao Feng was not being falsely polite, Princess Ankang nodded slightly to Yu'er.
Yu'er still placed the bowl in front of Zhao Feng.
In this way, everyone and Li Xuan had a bowl of stewed spinal cord in front of them.
Li Xuan was not polite, and just showed off.
The temperature of the stewed spinal cord was just right, warm but not too hot.
This thing tasted like both meat and jelly.
It was soft and chewy.
There was no need to mention the taste. I guess Zhao Feng asked the imperial chef to help, and it was impeccable.
The taste of the stewed spinal cord was a bit light, relying on the mellow fragrance of the ingredients themselves.
I swallowed it down and felt warm in my stomach.
Then this warmth steamed all over my body, making me sweat.
Seeing the three little ones start eating, Zhao Feng couldn't help but remind them: "Your Highness, eat slowly. If you feel uncomfortable, you must stop eating. You may not be able to take the supplement."
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Feng didn't dare to say that this stewed spinal cord was specially sent to Princess Ankang.
Princess Ankang has always been in poor health, and it is hard to say whether there will be adverse reactions after eating.
Zhao Feng also relied on his high cultivation level, and even if there was something, he could handle it calmly.
Princess Ankang nodded, indicating that she had taken note.
She gently scooped a little with a spoon, then put it into her mouth, holding it and tasting it slowly.
Princess Ankang cherishes her life very much, so she naturally won't joke about her own safety.
She also wants to play with Li Xuan and Yu'er every day.
The little girl can't bear this kind of life.
Princess Ankang tasted a little first, and her eyes lit up immediately.
She used to be afraid of cold, so she liked to eat hot things the most.
But because she was afraid of burning her mouth, Concubine Xiao or Yu'er would cool it down for her before she could eat it.
At this time, Princess Ankang could only wait eagerly, expecting and anxious.
But the bowl of stewed spinal cord in front of her was just the right temperature, not burning her mouth and still warm in her stomach.
And the taste perfectly matched Princess Ankang's definition of food.
"Delicious!"
Princess Ankang, who was originally in a bad mood, cheered up again when she ate something delicious.
Sure enough, for children, only delicious and fun things are the most important!
"Haha, as long as Your Highness likes it."
Seeing that Princess Ankang liked it and did not show any uncomfortable reaction, Zhao Feng also felt relieved.
He then said to Li Xuan and Yu'er:
"Eating the spinal cord of the Iron-Boned Strong Bull can nourish the toughness of the bone marrow."
"This will be of great benefit to breaking through the Marrow Training Realm in the future."
"The bone marrow will have a better tolerance to the power of Qi and blood, and can also withstand better strengthening."
After hearing this explanation, Yu'er looked at the stewed spinal cord in the bowl, and then looked at Li Xuan beside her, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
She is still only in the Body Strengthening Realm.
Zhao Feng, who is responsible for teaching her martial arts, should be very clear about this.
In other words, today's stewed spinal cord is really as Zhao Feng said, and is specially given to Li Xuan.
Thinking about the situation in Qianxing Pavilion before, Yu'er gradually had a more and more specific understanding of Li Xuan's strength.
"Is Ah Xuan already in the Marrow Training Realm?"
"So amazing."
Yu'er just thought Li Xuan was amazing.
Because she didn't know that the beast race couldn't practice the human race's skills at all.
Without this common sense, Yu'er didn't know how outrageous her cat was.
Yu'er looked at the stewed spinal cord in the bowl and ate it carefully, even complaining that she had taken so much.
It was only a small bowl, but at this moment, it looked so much in Yu'er's eyes.
At this time, Zhao Feng suddenly said:
"Although the spinal cord of the Iron Bone Strong Bull is good, each person can only digest less than half of it."
"After all, the physiques of humans and cows cannot be generalized, which is also the limitation of our human race."
Yu'er couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this.
"Half a point per person, then this jar is enough for twenty people."
Li Xuan also looked at Zhao Feng after hearing this, but his eyes were a little unfriendly.
Zhao Feng also immediately felt Li Xuan's gaze, laughed, and whispered to him: "Where can I get so many wind-chasing rabbits for you?"
"Although the effect of this spinal cord is weaker, isn't it enough to fill you up?"
"And it's exactly the tonic you need right now, which is also very good, right?"
Zhao Feng hurriedly explained.
Speaking of this, he should be blamed.
He used too much force last time and directly took out the rare wind-chasing rabbit.
But next time, if he wants to take out a rarer treasure than the wind-chasing rabbit, it will be almost impossible.
But Zhao Feng also has his own way.
Compared with whether it is rare or not, whether it works is more important.
After spending so much time together, he has already understood Li Xuan's character very well.
Perhaps because he is a simple beastman, this guy is the most typical pragmatist.
As long as it can be useful to him, no matter what it is, just take it.
When Li Xuan heard this, it was the same reason, so he didn't care about it anymore.
He saw Yu'er licking the spoon next to him, and he couldn't help but meow at her sternly, and then pushed the bowl in Yu'er's direction.
"Ah Xuan..."
Yu'er couldn't help but feel touched.
This is obviously a good thing for him to replenish his body and improve his cultivation.
Zhao Feng on the side also said with a smile: "Don't worry, this can is definitely enough for you to eat, and there is still some left."
Li Xuan couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this, and then he unceremoniously pulled the bowl in front of Zhao Feng over and licked it clean himself.
Zhao Feng smiled and laughed, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped.
