She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 14 - Lin Lingxiang: Thank You, Princess Patron

While Tao Xue was busy starting a fire, Xiang Ying picked up a sharp stone.

She used the pointed end of the stone to slice the bear meat into pieces and skewered them on branches.

The meat sizzled and oozed fat, its aroma wafting for miles.

People nearby watched eagerly.

Xiang Ying sprinkled some pepper salt and sesame on the cooked meat and let the children eat first.

Three little fellows sat side by side on a rock, dirtying their little faces as they ate skewers, each happier than the last.

The roast meat smelled really delicious!

Xiang Ying handed the cooked meat to Tao Xue and seasoned her own portion with pepper and chili.

One bite filled her mouth with a burst of flavor.

The meat, cut neither too thick nor too thin, was tender and chewable, perfectly fatty, and wonderfully fragrant with chili—indescribably delicious.

The concubines sitting nearby couldn't help but crowd around.

"Princess, there is still plenty of meat, could you share some with us?"

"Yes, the Military Supervisor only provided us with a bowl of clear porridge tonight, which wasn't enough to fill us."

Before Xiang Ying could speak, Xiang Yuanshuo stepped up with his hands on his hips, shooing them away: "No! We won't give you any even if you beg!"

The little fellow ran to Xiang Ying's side: "Don't give it to them! After you lured the bear away, they didn't want the Military Supervisor to rescue you, so they deserve to starve!"

Hearing this, Xiang Ying glanced at the uneasy and guilty women.

She was never one to have the heart of a saint, nor was she likely to be kind-hearted towards those who wanted to harm her.

Xiang Ying patted Xiang Yuanshuo's head.

"Then I'll listen to our Yuanshuo. Here's what we'll do: you distribute the remaining meat. Whoever you think has been kind to us, give the meat to them. Mom fully supports you!"

Xiang Yuanshuo immediately felt a sense of responsibility; he took the skewers of cooked meat and ran around distributing them.

Watching his retreating figure, Xiang Ying's lips curled into a smile.

It was clear to see that Xiang Yuanshuo remembered exactly who had spoken ill and who had spoken well.

He first gave skewers to the Lin family from Qintianjian, and the rest went to people like the Seventh Princess and Yu Pin, all thanks to Xiang Yuanshuo's mercy.

Some of the women thought since Xiang Yuanshuo was just a child, he would be easy to coax.

They wanted to come up and please him, but the little fellow was not interested at all and ignored them.

Seeing this, Xiang Ying felt relieved.

This child was good, a chip off the old block!

Although a few skewers of meat were not enough to fill them up, Xiang Ying took the opportunity to say she was going to see Xiang Li, and left the crowd.

When no one was paying attention, she took half a roast duck out of her space and ate it clean.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xiang Ying took a water bladder from her space and poured it over Xiang Li.

The rain had washed away a lot of the golden sore medicine previously applied, and his wound had turned inside out, showing white flesh and looking shockingly painful.

Xiang Ying first washed off the mud and clotted blood near his wound, and finally took a clean cloth from her space to wipe it thoroughly.

She poured two bottles of golden sore medicine onto his wound.

The bear bile taken out during the day would be put to good use.

Xiang Ying cut open the bear bile with a knife, and as the brownish-green bile flowed out, she quickly brought it to Xiang Li's lips.

The bear bile emitted a foul smell, and Xiang Ying fought the urge to retch.

Looking at the unconscious Xiang Li, she felt a bit relieved: "Luckily you're still unconscious, otherwise I wouldn't know how to persuade you to eat this."

Bear bile is intensely bitter and hard for most people to tolerate, but it greatly replenishes essence and would benefit Xiang Li's injuries.

After feeding him the bile, Xiang Ying took a bowl of millet porridge from her space and sprinkled a spoonful of brown sugar into it.

Brown sugar replenished physical and mental energy, and millet porridge was also nourishing.

After tending to Xiang Li, she was sweating profusely.

It was a summer night, and though the mountains were not suffocatingly hot, they were still stifling.

Xiang Ying could not sit idle. While everyone was eating, she took needle and thread from her space and began to sew bear skin.

She also made knee pads for the children and Tao Xue, making walking less tiring.

While sewing the bear skin, Xiang Ying heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, she saw Tao Xue walking up with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Seeing Xiang Ying sewing the bear skin, Tao Xue took over voluntarily: "Let me help you."

"Why are you in a bad mood, did you not eat enough?"

"I had enough to eat."

"Then what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Unable to withstand Xiang Ying's questioning, Tao Xue bit her lip and said, "The Fifth Princess somehow ingratiated herself with those team leaders, and just now she came back with some steamed buns and rice porridge, sharing it with everyone."

"Those who spoke ill of the elder princess have all flocked to the Fifth Princess, making sarcastic remarks, saying that even without your help, they wouldn't starve, praising the Fifth Princess for considering the bigger picture."

"When I think of how you unhesitatingly lured the black bear away, these people not only feel no gratitude, but also speak like this, I just... just..." Tao Xue got so angry she cried.

Xiang Ying, on the other hand, laughed.

"What's there to mind? Let her be proud if she wants to be. If she can continually get food, then she is capable."

However, Tao Xue's words served as a reminder to Xiang Ying.

Huang Huzi is someone who wouldn't let go without seeing money, why would Xiang Qianqian get any advantage from him?

Xiang Ying looked back, far away, Xiang Qianqian was surrounded by a crowd, only willing to break her bread into pieces to distribute after being flattered.

And not just a few, she got at least seven or eight buns.

Huang Huzi was indeed generous.

Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes became cold, revealing a hint of contemplation.

That night, they stayed in the forest.

Possibly due to sleeping outdoors and having encountered wild animals before, everyone had an uneasy sleep.

Before dawn, the Military Supervisor and his men started cracking their whips, waking everyone up.

Xiang Ying went to check on Xiang Li's wounds, but saw several medicinal herbs placed on his wooden cart bed.

She picked them up to inspect, and a scholarly voice came: "These are insect repellent herbs, I picked them last night. The elder princess can rest assured, they are non-toxic."

"Since the Crown Prince has wounds, he is prone to attracting poisonous insects, so I took the liberty of placing some herbs there, I hope the elder princess won't mind."

Xiang Ying turned around, seeing the young lady from the Qintianjian family.

"Second Miss Lin, are you a doctor?"

The girl in front of her gave a bitter smile: "Reduced to my current state, I am no longer any 'Second Miss'. If the elder princess doesn't mind, just calling me by my name Lingxiang will do."

"I'm not very knowledgeable in medicine, but I recognize some medicinal herbs and know a bit, having received your help several times, I also wanted to do whatever I can."

Xiang Ying's gaze swept across Lin Lingxiang, looking towards the Lin Family members not far behind her.

Mr. Lin of the Qintianjian had already regained consciousness, surrounded by the women of his family, looking somewhat better than before.

Xiang Ying withdrew her gaze and said to Lin Lingxiang: "Well then, Lingxiang, if you have some spare time these days, help me turn the Crown Prince over. He's always lying down and could easily develop bedsores."

"You take care of the Crown Prince for one day, and I'll be responsible for your family's food, how about that?"

The reason Xiang Ying decided this way was that she was exhausted by taking care of three children and monitoring Xiang Li's wounds alone.

Having someone to share the burden, she was also willing to share food for taking care of the Qintianjian family, a mutual benefit, why not?

Lin Lingxiang upon hearing this, immediately nodded: "Elder princess's kindness is hard to repay. Even without food, I would still help you."

And so it was settled, Xiang Ying returned to the children.

Tao Xue was combing their hair.

The Military Supervisor would be coming for inspection soon, and with limited time in the morning, Xiang Ying simply prepared the food in a compartment before bringing it out.

She cut a soft white bun in half, added chopped peanuts, diced boiled eggs, a bit of sauced beef, and pickles inside.

Each child got one, Tao Xue and Xiang Ying had two, along with a bowl of warm brown rice porridge.

The little ones burped one after another.

This time, they no longer asked Xiang Ying where the food came from.

In Tao Xue's eyes, her elder princess had such a broad mind that six buns could fit in it.

The rest must have been given by the Military Supervisor!

Xiang Ying crouched down to tie the knee protectors they had sewn last night for the little ones.

Xiang Xiuxiu gently wiped the thin sweat from her forehead.

"Mother, you smell so good, like jasmine flowers."

Xiang Ying tickled her nose: "Little girl, you do have a sweeter tongue than a son."

Xiang Xiuxiu immediately covered her flushed face and quietly boasted to the two brothers beside her: "Mother praised me!"

Suddenly, something noisy happened up ahead.

Tao Xue went to find out what happened, and soon came back to tell Xiang Ying: "Elder princess, it's good that we left quickly yesterday, a big trouble has occurred!"
