Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 209 Fatty people also have dignity

Qiyun Hall.

"Is this for people to eat? Huh...is this for people to eat? Go back to the imperial kitchen. I'm the emperor, what's wrong with eating some meat?...What's wrong?..." The emperor was furious. That unfilial son deliberately made things difficult for him. It must have been his order, otherwise the imperial kitchen would not dare to treat him like this. He was so angry.

Eunuch Ai felt like he was the rat that was bullied from both sides. "Your Majesty, the Emperor is also good to you. The imperial physician has told you many times that you need to lose weight. Otherwise, can we eat more meat at night?"

"No, night is night, and now is now. They cannot be confused. You go in person to the imperial kitchen and make up my share." The emperor resolutely defended his rights.

Eunuch Ai was reluctant to leave, which made the Emperor even angrier. He slammed the table loudly: "My words don't work anymore, do they?"

At this moment, two little heads suddenly popped in from the left and right sides of the gate of Qiyun Palace, looking curiously at the emperor who was losing his temper.

"Empress, this is the Qiyun Palace that my aunt mentioned. There are words written on it." said the little girl in a palace maid's uniform.

"I saw it. It turns out this is where the emperor lives. It's not even as big as our Ningyuxuan." said another little girl.

"The fat guy who's losing his temper must be the emperor."

"Hongdou, let me tell you again, you can't call someone fat to their face. Fat people also have dignity." The other one, who was called Niangniang, knocked on the head of Hongdou.

The emperor suddenly felt that he had met a soulmate. That is, fat people also have dignity, and they cannot just refuse to eat meat.

Hongdou asked without shame: "If not fat, what should I say?"

Huang Ye thought about it seriously and said, "I should say plump, that sounds good."

The Emperor: Not plump, you might as well say fat.

Huang Ye and Hong Dou came out to digest their lunch. Ning Yuxuan and Qiyun Palace faced the same direction, separated only by a small forest. They wanted to come over to see if they could secretly practice martial arts in the forest, then they heard someone losing their temper in Qiyun Palace. Both of them loved the hustle and bustle, so they couldn't help but ran over to watch the fun at the door.

Seeing that the emperor had stopped yelling, Huang Ye felt that he should say hello. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, so it is necessary to maintain good relations with neighbors.

"Hi." Huang Ye raised his little paw: "I am Huangpin from Ningyuxuan next door. I want to come in and pay my respects to the emperor. Can I come in?"

Eunuch Ai was now hoping that someone would come in and disturb him, lest the Grand Emperor would ask him to go to the Imperial Kitchen to ask for meat again: "Grand Emperor, look..."

"Come in." The emperor had never seen the child from the Huang family. He wanted to see what was so special about this child that made the unfilial son look at him differently.

Huang Ye and Hong Dou happily ran in to pay their respects to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand for them to stand up. He was also impatient with all these formalities. Huang Ye felt that what her aunt said was right. The emperor was a very kind and easy to talk to person. He lost his temper just now. Someone must have provoked him.

"Your Majesty, we will be neighbors from now on. If you need any help from me, just let me know." Huang Ye patted her chest and promised. Seeing how loyal she was, the Emperor would surely be touched.

The Emperor: I treat you as my daughter-in-law, but you treat me as your neighbor. How can I seek justice?

Hongdou saw the food on the table and called out to Huangye in surprise, "Look, my lady, there are so many vegetarian dishes that are eaten with water and sauce. How can we bear to eat this in such a cold weather?"

The emperor was suddenly moved. Hongdou was so good at speaking. She touched his heart. He now liked Hongdou very much. The name, Hongdou, sounded so nice. "Hongdou is right. Eunuch Ai, why don't you go and get me some more food?"

Eunuch Ai looked at Huang Ye with a bitter face: I thought you were here to help, but you are here to add fuel to the fire.

"Eunuch, do you have a small kitchen in your Qiyun Palace?" Huang Ye asked Eunuch Ai.

"Yes." Eunuch Ai wondered, does having a small kitchen have anything to do with eating meat?

"Please take me to have a look." Huang Ye followed Eunuch Ai to the small kitchen in the side hall. Fortunately, there was a pot. She told Hong Dou, "Go to our Ningyuxuan and bring some of the vegetarian seasoning."

Hongdou agreed and went out. Huang Ye asked the eunuch who was in charge of making fire in the small kitchen to wash the pot clean, while she was searching to see if there was anything useful in it.

I have to say, there are a lot of things in the small kitchen of Qiyun Hall, including oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. At this time, the young eunuch washed the pot. He was very confused. This pot is used for steaming dishes. Now Concubine Huang asked him to wash it so clean. Is she preparing to steam dishes for the retired emperor?

Hongdou was quick and lived nearby, so she came over in a short while, bringing a small packet of seasonings prepared by Huangye. Huangye asked the eunuch to light the fire while she waited for the pot to heat up, added oil, sautéed the chopped green onions and garlic, and put half of several small bowls of boiled vegetables on the table into the pot and stir-fried them. When the pot was taken out of the water, she added the seasonings, and a large portion of stir-fried vegetables was ready to be served steaming hot.

The retired emperor and eunuch Ai stood at the door of the small kitchen, stunned. This Concubine Huang is really good at this. Looking at her skillful approach, I wonder how many times she must have cooked this dish. And why does this dish smell so delicious?

"Your Majesty, please try it and see if it suits your taste." Huang Ye picked up the chopsticks for the emperor. The emperor picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in his mouth. He used to hate cabbage the most, but the cabbage that Huang Ye had just prepared made him want to eat it.

"Delicious...better than meat..." The retired emperor picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. If the vegetarian dishes in the imperial kitchen could be so delicious, why would he bother arguing with Old Ai every day? No wonder the little girl from the Huang family was looked at differently by that unfilial son. It turned out that she really was different from others.
