Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 233 Jealousy Makes the Emperor Unrecognizable

Qiyun Hall.

When the emperor came over, he happened to see the young eunuch bringing back the meal for the retired emperor, and the table had not yet been set. He was a little surprised to see that only his father and eunuch Ai were there. It seemed that Xiao Yuzi's information was not always accurate.

"What's the matter with you coming to Qiyun Palace?" The retired emperor looked at the emperor warily. This unfilial son came here at this time. Could it be that his annoying empress dowager has caused trouble again?

"Can't I come over to accompany you if I have nothing to do?" The emperor replied unhappily, "I heard Xuanyuan Ze and the third brother are here, why don't I see them?"

"Your Majesty, they both came in the morning and played with the prince for a while. They left without even having lunch, and they did not come in the afternoon." Eunuch Ai answered on behalf of the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Yu, who immediately took over the conversation: "My people should be right, the two of them are coming in this direction."

"That's because he went to Ningyuxuan to play with the prince." The emperor didn't care: "Those two guys love the eagle so much that they can't wait to see it several times a day." Even he would miss the prince if he didn't see him for a day, right?

The emperor suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had not even been to the place where his wife lived. What did it mean that those two idiots ran there every day? He was not suspicious of anything, but he was a little jealous. As for why he was jealous, the young emperor still couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Ai, I'm here to bring you some food." Hongdou's cheerful voice came from the courtyard. Then she pushed the door open and came in. She was not afraid to see the emperor here: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Old Ai, come and see what delicious food Concubine Huang has brought us." The retired emperor said excitedly. It must be said that the Huang family girl's cooking skills are really impeccable.

Hongdou stood up and opened the oil paper package: "This is the braised food that we made today when our Ningyuxuan kitchen opened. The Queen asked me to send some to you to try. The Queen said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and it is better for neighbors to visit each other often."

As soon as the oil paper package was opened, the strong aroma of braised meat filled everyone's nose. The emperor didn't care that Huang Ye treated him as a neighbor. He leaned over the table, smelled the aroma and asked Hongdou: "Why don't I have as much as Lao Ai?"

"The Queen said that you are on a diet and you are not allowed to eat meat at night. But tonight I will make an exception and allow you to eat five pieces of meat. You can choose it yourself and I will be in charge of supervising you. The rest will be packed up and eaten tomorrow." Hongdou felt that she was a very responsible girl. Look, even the emperor could not get away with it in front of her.

Now the emperor was speechless. He had made up his mind to lose weight, but... seeing how rich the package of food Lao Ai gave was, why did he feel it was so unfair?

"Are Prince Fu and the third son in Ningyuxuan?" The emperor, who had been sitting there without saying a word, suddenly asked Hongdou.

"Yes, he came here in the afternoon and refused to leave. He insisted on having dinner at Ningyuxuan." Hongdou replied.

Hongdou was unhappy when this was mentioned. So much of the braised food was given away, and there was only a little left. With those two gluttons around, she doubted that she would have anything to eat at night. You know, she had been tired of eating those tasteless meals in the palace during the past few days since she entered it. It was not easy to get this braised food... Alas.

The emperor was even more worried. Those two idiots, didn't they know how to avoid suspicion? And that Huangpin, she knew to send food to the emperor, but didn't she know how to send it to him?

Although... maybe she heard about Concubine Du sending bird's nest, but doesn't she know that people are different? She gave it to him, he would definitely not let Lao Yu throw it away. It must be said that the emperor thought too much, and Concubine Huang didn't even think of giving it to him.

"Well, who else did your majesty give these things to?" the emperor asked unwillingly. If she gave them to someone else, he would punish her. He would definitely punish her... punish her... The emperor thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of a way to punish her.

"I gave it to the retired emperor and his family." Hongdou answered cleverly. The empress said that they must not let others know who they gave the food to. If everyone knew and came to ask for it, they would be exhausted to death.

The emperor felt a little better and gave Eunuch Yu a wink. Eunuch Yu understood immediately and swiftly took out two pairs of chopsticks from the small kitchen and handed one pair to the emperor and the retired emperor respectively.

The retired emperor picked up a piece of the pork head meat that Huang Ye had cut in front of him and put it into his mouth. He couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh: "It's so delicious. Why didn't I know before that pork head meat was so delicious?" It must be that he had never eaten something as low-brow as pork head meat before.

"Your Majesty, there is a seasoning packet in it. It tastes even better after mixing it. It's both spicy and numbing, which is really enjoyable." Hongdou said proudly.

The emperor and the emperor emeritus looked at her at the same time. You said, "You are just a little girl, but you can eat such delicious braised food on a regular basis, which is better than what they eat... They are the rulers of the Great Xia Dynasty, but their lives are worse than those of a little girl. How can they seek justice?"

The emperor leisurely picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of delicious-looking meat from the portion of braised food that Eunuch Ai had spread on the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Your Majesty, what you are eating is called braised pork intestines. It is delicious. Our old grandfather likes it the most." Hongdou said with a long mouth.

The emperor picked up another piece of pig intestines and put it into his mouth. The Huang family actually had such delicious braised food. No wonder Xuanyuan Ze went to the Huang Mansion every day, and he even said that he missed his brother Huang. In his opinion, he missed the food in his brother Huang's house.

While Hongdou wasn't paying attention, the emperor took a piece of braised pork intestines from Eunuch Ai's portion and put it in his mouth: "It's delicious, even better than what I just had. That old man Huang Congmin actually eats such delicious food every day."

Jealousy made the emperor look completely different: "No, I have to find that Huang family girl to compensate me. I want to eat these stewed foods every day, and no one can stop me..."

"Your Majesty, you just stole Eunuch Ai's braised pork intestines. I will tell the queen later and see how she punishes you." Hongdou was still upset about the emperor stealing food while she wasn't paying attention.

"I don't care, I don't care..." the emperor continued to yell.

The emperor felt that he had guessed correctly. Even though his father had been clamoring to lose weight these past few days, he was actually not someone who was easy to talk to, especially when it came to eating. Concubine Huang would have a hard time dealing with him in the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt much better. He stood up, and Eunuch Yu quickly wrapped up the stewed food on the table and took it in his hand. Seeing Eunuch Yu's long look, the emperor was more satisfied: "Little Yu, let's not delay father's weight loss, let's go."

Eunuch Ai: That belongs to me, it belongs to me. It was given to me by Concubine Huang. Your Majesty is unreasonable. You took it all away without even letting me taste it...
