The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

Chapter 43 This is a historical drama, not some kind of "MasterChef"!

No matter how Zhu Ming explained,

Everyone assumed that the Sixth Prince was kind-hearted, humble, and stubborn, and no one was willing to admit it.

Empress Ma was even more ruthless, using a combination of coaxing and deception to snatch the wine cup from the little boy's hand.

Completely ignoring Zhu Ming's pitiful and aggrieved little expression.

Others also took turns trying to persuade him.

No matter what, they wouldn't let the Sixth Prince touch that glass of juice even a fraction.

But the little guy is easy to handle,

But is this juice safe to drink? Are there any potential risks?

Someone has to give it a try.

As for who should drink first, the group fell into another argument!

Empress Ma stepped forward, her eyes resolute, and said in a deep voice, "My comrades have defended the country's borders, fought bloody battles, and endured countless hardships."

"Now that we are in such a critical situation, as the mother of the nation, I should take the lead. I will be the one to try this first bite."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked and their expressions changed drastically.

Xu Miaoyun, standing to the side, was terrified, her face turning pale. She gripped Empress Ma's sleeve tightly with both hands, her voice urgent, "Your Majesty! You mustn't!"

"As the mother of the nation, you bear the weight of the country's fate and the well-being of its people. You absolutely cannot take such a risk! If anyone should try, it should be me!"

Empress Ma refused to listen, saying that she was now immune to all poisons and that it was most appropriate for her to be the one to test it.

But Xu Miaoyun refused to believe it and insisted that the Empress take the risk.

While the group was locked in a stalemate,

A tall figure strode forward, without uttering a word, snatched the wine cup from Empress Ma's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

This man was none other than Xu Da!

There was no other way; one was the Empress, and the other was his precious daughter.

If he doesn't test the poison, who will?

The two who were arguing immediately fell silent and turned to look at him.

Xu Da suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

But right now, he doesn't have time to complain.

The moment the juice entered his mouth, the rich, sweet aroma of peaches exploded, assaulting his taste buds.

The taste is sweet and refreshing, so delicious that it makes your whole body tingle.

In a daze, Xu Da seemed to be standing naked in a mountain forest full of fresh fruit, with a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of peaches.

But then the camera shifts, and he seems to be running wildly on the beach under the scorching summer sun, wearing a thin white veil and holding a white cloth in his hands.

Just like in the movie God of Cookery,

The scene of Goose Head eating the "pissing beef ball" for the first time.

Just as this fantastical and absurd scene was about to freeze in time, a pair of delicate white hands suddenly reached out.

Bang it!

Zhu Ming, the little guy, forcefully pushed the special effects-filled scene out of the frame, instantly cutting off the off-track style.

Hey, are you kidding me!

Did you pay them any copyright fees? You're just using their content recklessly here; aren't you afraid they'll sue you?

Besides, this is my territory!

This isn't a place for filming some kind of glowing food animation!

The art style instantly returns to normal, let's get back to the main topic.

Zhu Ming strode forward with his short legs, gently tugging at Xu Da's trouser leg with his little hand. His big, round eyes stared at him expectantly as he asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle Xu, is it delicious?"

Xu Da had just recovered from the extremely refreshing taste when he subconsciously nodded emphatically, his tone full of sincerity: "Delicious, I have never tasted such refreshing and sweet juice before."

Upon hearing this, the little one's mouth watered again, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it sweet?"

Xu Da's brows relaxed, his face full of smiles, and he nodded vigorously again, saying, "Sweet, very sweet, refreshing and delicious, not cloying at all."

This made Zhu Ming extremely envious.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she stared longingly at the empty wine glass in Xu Da's hand.

He wanted a bite too!

With Xu Da risking his life, Empress Ma and Xu Miaoyun also poured themselves a cup and tasted it.

The sweet and rich fruity aroma spread between their lips and teeth, sweeping away the heat and stuffiness, and a pleasant expression appeared on both of their faces.

Finally, everyone in the tent got to drink the juice.

Except for Zhu Ming!

This little guy didn't get a single bite.

Empress Ma was worried that his stomach was delicate and that he would get an upset stomach if he drank it, so she forbade him to drink it.

This made Zhu Ming so angry that his face puffed up, his little face turned red, and his cheeks bulged out high.

However, because he is so cute, even when he is sulking alone, he appears even more adorable and endearing than before to others.

For example, Xu Miaoyun saw Zhu Ming's aggrieved look.

He's so adorable!

She quickly pulled Zhu Ming into her arms, comforting him tenderly, and even couldn't resist giving him a few quick kisses on the cheek.

And on the other side,

Xu Da, caught up in his emotions, failed to notice that his own tender little cabbage was actively hunting down someone else's little Zhu Zai.

They were still there, overjoyed and laughing hysterically.

"Great! Excellent! With this miraculous artifact, the tens of thousands of brothers in the camp are finally saved!"

He immediately turned around and loudly ordered, "Gu Shi, assemble all the soldiers immediately and gather at the military camp square! No delays allowed!"

The deputy general standing nearby dared not delay, clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, and turned to leave the camp quickly to convey the general's command.

A moment later, the soldiers who were less severely poisoned arrived at the square one after another after receiving the summons.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief had not yet arrived, groups of three or five huddled together, whispering excitedly about the scene of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descending to earth.

Soldier A pursed his cracked lips, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Hey, have you heard? Someone just saw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descend to earth with celestial children. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Soldier B's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice, "It's not just something I've heard! I was right there at the time, and I saw it clearly with both eyes."

"The Goddess Xuan Nu descended from the heavens on auspicious seven-colored clouds, accompanied by celestial boys and jade maidens. I will never forget that scene."

Soldier A was somewhat skeptical. "Really? Are there really gods in this world?"

Soldier B seemed to be enraged and immediately said, "Why don't you ask around? When have I, Liu Laosan, ever lied? If you don't believe me, go ask Lao Du; he was there too!"

Upon hearing this, Soldier A turned to look at the other person.

As a result, Soldier C, also known as Lao Du from Liu Laosan's words, looked regretful and sighed to himself, as if he had missed out on a five-million-dollar lottery prize.

He said regretfully, "I was there, that's true, but I didn't see anything!"

Soldier A couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Soldier C: "I was so busy kowtowing that I didn't dare look at anyone!"

Everyone was immediately astonished.

After the two of them said that,

Soldier A believed him too, and immediately pounded his chest and stamped his feet, his face full of regret: "Damn it! I'm so unlucky! Of all times, of all times, my stomach had to hurt! I'm so damn unlucky!"

After his initial regret subsided, Soldier A asked eagerly, "Tell me, given the noble status of the Goddess Xuan Nu, why would she descend to the mortal realm to save us ordinary people?"

Soldier B quickly scanned the surroundings from left to right.

After confirming that no one was approaching,

Then he leaned closer and said in a low, mysterious voice, "There's a story behind this!"

"I just heard from the son of my grandfather's daughter's neighbor that the jade maiden accompanying the Goddess Xuan Nu was none other than the daughter of our General Xu!"
