Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 245: Prince Fu leaves Beijing

The emperor took the cake wrapped in oil paper, picked up one and put it in his mouth. His eyes narrowed suddenly. The cake was soft, sticky and sweet. No wonder Ting'er liked it so much. If it were him, he could eat even a hundred of them now. Except for Xiao Yuzi, no one knew that he loved sweets the most, but the emperor's preference could not be known to others.

"This cake is very soft, it should be fine for children to eat it." Resisting the urge to eat another one, the emperor handed the remaining three to Eunuch Yu.

"But..." Xu Rou wanted to speak.

"Okay, we've been watching for such a long time, those who want to go back can go back. I'm tired too, let's go back." The emperor ignored Xu Rou and took the eldest princess from the queen's arms. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and he wants to rest in Kunning Palace.

"Empress Huang, when I get better, can I come to see you?" The eldest princess suddenly turned her head and looked at Huang Ye and asked.

Huang Ye looked at the emperor and the empress awkwardly. Seeing that they didn't say anything, she walked awkwardly to the eldest princess and stopped. The eldest princess lay on the emperor's shoulder and looked at her longingly.

"As long as our princess is not picky about food and eats well, and she recovers, she can come and play with Queen Huang." Huang Ye secretly winked at the eldest princess. She was now behind the emperor. The emperor was tall and blocked the queen's sight, so neither of them noticed Huang Ye's little action.

"Yes, I will definitely eat well." The eldest princess replied firmly.

"Come on." Huang Ye hooked her little finger with her own: "Pin it together and don't change it for a hundred years." Then she put her thumb against the eldest princess' thumb: "It's a deal, you can't go back on your word in the future."

"I will definitely do it." said the eldest princess loudly.

"Okay." Huang Ye waved to the eldest princess, then bowed to the emperor and the empress, took Hongdou and ran away. As for telling the empress that she wanted to bring a lantern back, it was better not to mention it. Who knows how much the empress hated her in her heart right now.

"Your Majesty, you were too reckless today. If anything happens to the eldest princess because of the food you gave her, it will be a capital crime." On the way back to Ning Yuxuan, Fanghua said with lingering fear. The Queen's scream just now scared her, and she was afraid that Your Majesty would not be able to escape.

"Aunt, I admit that I was reckless today. If something goes wrong, not only will my family members outside the palace be implicated, but even the people in Ningyuxuan will not be spared. I will think carefully before doing anything in the future." Huang Ye also knew that he was wrong, and honestly admitted his mistake to his aunt.

"It's good that you know. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what happened in the Qianqing Palace today was the Queen's doing. If one plan fails, the Queen will come up with another one. Your Majesty must be careful and don't fall into her trap." Fanghua said to Huang Ye in a low voice.

Several people returned to Ningyuxuan. When Huang Ye finished washing up, it was already very late. Fortunately, the Queen had told her in the Qianqing Palace that she didn't need to pay respects tomorrow morning.

Kunning Palace.

The eldest princess had already been taken away, and the emperor went to wash first. When the queen came out after washing, she saw that the emperor was already asleep wrapped in a quilt. The queen quietly pulled another quilt over herself, then approached the emperor. The emperor did not move, and the queen knew that he was not asleep.

"Your Majesty." The Queen called out coquettishly.

"Go to bed early." The emperor still had his back to her and his voice was flat, which made the queen's heart sink.

"I understand." The queen closed her eyes. It seemed that the emperor suspected her about what happened in the Qianqing Palace today. But she was not afraid. The emperor would not blame her for a long time for one thing. This kind of thing had happened before, and the emperor had turned a blind eye to it.

Ningyuxuan.

The next morning, Little Prince Fu came over early. He was leaving Beijing today and came to Ning Yuxuan to get his braised food. Huang Ye was impressed by him. He brought two large wooden boxes and directly wrapped the braised food and duck products in oil paper and put them into the large wooden boxes, filling two full boxes.

"Sister, I have already made an appointment with Brother Huang. I will go to the mansion later to pick up all the things you need to take." Little Prince Fu said to Huang Ye.

Huang Ye nodded, indicating that she understood. The prince returned home last night and brought a letter from his eldest brother. The letter said that the young Prince Fu had requested two large jars of chopped pepper sauce and two jars of spicy sauce. In view of the young Prince Fu's consistent good performance, his grandfather readily agreed.

"Sister, according to the rules, when you get married, I should give you a box of gifts. But you have become a member of the imperial family after marrying into the palace. I can't give you a box of gifts. This is a small token of my love. I hope you won't refuse it."

After the young Prince Fu finished speaking, he handed over a silver note. He was prepared to be rejected, but today he had to let his adopted sister accept the silver note no matter what. Only if she was willing to spend money would she be able to eat for free in the future.

Huang Ye took it and looked at it. Wow, he is worthy of being the prince of Fu. He is very generous and gave a full one thousand taels.

"Since Prince Fu is so generous, I will gladly accept it." Huang Ye handed the banknote to Hong Dou with a smile and asked her to keep it. "Thank you. If you come to the capital in the future, just tell me what you want to eat, as long as Ning Yuxuan can make it."

Prince Fu was stunned for a while. He had already thought about refusing, but she... accepted it with a smile. Although... he gave it sincerely, she accepted it without any rejection, which made him feel unfulfilled. It was like... how to put it, it was like he gave her a steamed bun and she took it so naturally.

"Then I'm leaving, Prince. Would you like to come with me?" Little Prince Fu asked the prince unwillingly.

The prince rolled his little green eyes. He learned this from his master. He didn't have the habit of going out to visit relatives yet. But one day, when he got bored of living in Ningyuxuan, he would fly out to find him.

Seeing that the prince was unmoved, the little Prince Fu left reluctantly. Ning Yuxuan returned to calm. Huang Ye yawned and went back to bed to take a nap.

Cining Palace.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, which was supposed to be the day when the emperor's concubines came to pay their respects at the Cining Palace. However, the empress had told them yesterday that they didn't need to pay their respects today, so today only the empress came to pay her respects. When she arrived at the Cining Palace, she saw that Concubine Xu had arrived before her.

The empress dowager was a very practical person. If she didn't like someone, she would not give them face. So when she saw the queen coming in, she was too lazy to even ask her to sit down. She hoped that she would just pay her respects and get out of here quickly, and not get in her way in her Cining Palace.

The Queen didn't bother with her. She came here specially for something today. However, since Concubine Xu was here, there were some things she couldn't say.
