The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 15

As it became dark, Xie Hongyi heard a commotion from the temple grounds. Curiosity disturbed him and he went there.

It turned out that the people were noisier as the winner of this year's Autumn Hunt would be announced.

They all swarmed Huang Long and a eunuch who was on the small stage.

The man returned to wearing his dragon robe and sat there quietly.

"Like it, the winner of this year's Fall Hunt is..." The eunuch intentionally did not finish his words and made everyone palpitate.

"Congratulations to General Hu! He got the highest score because he managed to catch one bear, two deer, 6 rabbits, and 10 pheasants. Please go to Duke Hu to go on stage and receive a gift."

Everyone applauded loudly and congratulated General Hu.

"My father won! Concubine Chen, my father is great." Concubine Hu shouted furiously while shaking Consort Chen's body.

"I knew. Now stop touching me, you're making me dizzy!" Concubine Chen grumbled.

Concubine Hu clearly did not notice her grunt. The woman, who had the lotus flower on her forehead, went to her father and showed everyone that her father had won. His behavior is like a child.

Because the winning participants came from the noble group, the prize given was in the form of money worth 500 taels of gold.

The next event is the dinner. The activity will be carried out about an hour later.

The kitchen tent is now really busy with the waiters who start cooking the dishes.

There was a debate between the butler and the kitchen chef when the butler said something.

"Since the first time this hunt was held, each chef would serve the same dish. That hasn't changed for centuries."

"Your Majesty wants something different this year. For that, I hope the head chef can obey orders." The butler said firmly.

"But..." The head chef did not have time to say anything because the butler had left.

The only meat cooking technique he knew was to make it a soup. His Majesty the emperor wanted different things.

He was confused and really didn't know what to do.

"Chief, may we ask for help from Consort Xie?" One of the waiters who had eaten the dish that Xie Hongyi had made suggested.

"Consort Xie? What can he help you with?"

"So he had cooked meat soup. But it feels different to what we used to do. He may have some way to cultivate meat." The waiter explained.

The head chef was at a dead end, so he quickly agreed to it.

"Well, call Concubine Xie over here. I hope he helps us."

The waiter nodded and then walked out of the tent.

Not long after that she returned with Xie Hongyi.

"Concubine Xie, said the waiter you can make meat soup with a different taste. Maybe you also have a way to process meat in addition to making soup. So do you want to help us?" The butler looked desperate and Xie Hongyi felt pity for him.

[Consideration! Optional missions have been triggered. Please process animal meat into food other than soup. You will get bonus exp and points in the mission of protecting the main protagonist]

With the lure of the bonus from the system, Xie Hongyi helped the head chef.

"System, you have to give me a lot of points and experience this time." Xie Hongyi said cheerfully. Then he directed the servants to prepare everything.

***

The people present at the banquet were talking when the food came.

At first they did not care about the waiters delivering the dishes, but when the food was served, they turned to look at it.

The smell of the food made everyone almost drool.

The food served was made from meat, but not soup as they had usually eaten before.

Tempted by the smell of food, they instantly devoured it. Ignoring banquet etiquette.

And they were surprised too! It tastes different but it is delicious and they immediately like it.

As soon as the piece of meat touched his tongue, it tasted really good. His mouth was smiling a little.

Clearly the happiest with this situation was the head chef. He gained new knowledge in meat processing. He would also plan on making it again when he returned to the palace.

Xie Hongyi who was standing in the corner, was also happy. He was looking forward to the system of giving bonuses.

"System, you really have to give me a lot of bonuses."

Perhaps out of boredom of Xie Hongyi's words, the system did not reply. Xie Hongyi could guess that if only the system was human, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Xie Hongyi's mood was good. So he's not angry with the system being silent.

In an instant, the dishes began to run out. Those who saw the plate empty, asked the servants to take some more food.

The waiter refused because in the kitchen tent there was really no more food like that.

Disappointed, they sighed.

One of the nobles said.

"Has the material finished?"

"The material still exists. But we're short of seasonings."

Hearing their conversation, Xie Hongyi confirmed. Indeed the ingredients of the seasoning were only available a little, so he made the food enough for the people present at the banquet.

They really want that food again.

"Concubine Xie, will you have a drink with us?" Xie Hongyi turned his head when someone asked him.

"Consort Hu?"

He found two women standing behind him. Beside Consort Hu, there was concubine Chen accompanying her.

"You're asking me?" Xie Hongyi pointed to himself. Clearly he felt astonished that anyone would invite him to drink despite his quiet nature.

Concubine Hu asked Consort Xie to drink because she felt sorry for him. Seeing the woman standing in the corner and not a single person accompanying or looking concerned, Consort Hu's heart was moved. Then he invited Consort Chen to accompany him to approach Xie Hongyi.

"Yes. You want to have a drink with us, right?" It was fine if Xie Hongyi rejected him, he was already familiar with Xie Hongyi's nature.

"Well, I'll have a drink with you guys." It was not good to reject someone's good intentions and also Xie Hongyi was unwilling to say no.

Consort Chen said nothing.

Then the three of them went to the Hu family tent. After greeting the Hu family members who were there, Consort Chen took out a glass of alcohol and gave it to Xie Hongyi.

The alcohol was made from fermented rice with good quality. The price is a little expensive.

Xie Hongyi picked up a glass of alcohol in Consort Chen's hand and drank it. The spicy taste that stopped in her throat made the woman's eyebrows frown.

Here's problem.

After that he took himself a glass of alcohol and drank it quickly. Xie Hongyi did that over and over again, so Consort Chen told him to stop since it was already two bottles of alcohol that Xie Hongyi had downed.

"Consort Hu I want to go back." After Xie Hongyi said like that, he hiccupped.

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

"No need. I can do it myself."

"But," Consort Hu did not finish her words because Xie Hongyi had left and she could not catch up to him when one of the Hu family members pulled her over for another drink.

Out of the tent with a red face, Xie Hongyi staggered. No one noticed because everyone was busy with the banquet.

After trudging along, he finally arrived at the tent.

The inside of the tent was quiet. Xie Hongyi did not see Prince Jue or his servant there.

The objects inside the tent had other shapes with the contents of his tent, but Xie Hongyi was completely drunk, too, so he did not realize anything and immediately threw himself on the bed that was there.

The bed was soft and had a very fragrant aroma. His nose sniffed as if he wanted all those scents to get into his nose. He was comfortable, and soon he fell asleep.
