Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 248 Huangpin who forgot the emperor

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye and Lu Dou had similar ideas. Besides, the eunuchs had been busy all afternoon, and she would feel bad letting them just watch and not eat. So she asked Lu Dou to cook it now. The first pot would be distributed to the palace servants in Ning Yuxuan, so that everyone could have a taste. When her small vegetable garden was planted in the future, she would not be short of these raw materials.

So the first two pots of leek dumplings made from mung beans were distributed to the palace servants of Ning Yuxuan, and the ones made after that were distributed by Huang Ye.

Huang Ye wrapped a pile of leek boxes in oil paper and put them in her bag and handed them to Fanghua: "Chuxiu Palace is the farthest away, so I'll have to trouble you to send it there today. Just like before, if you want to play there for a while longer, that's fine too." She said to Fanghua.

Fanghua thanked Huang Ye gratefully, took the bag and went to Chuxiu Palace. She had to walk quickly because the empress said that the leek dumplings would not taste good if they were cold. She had just eaten one, and she had never eaten such delicious noodles before. It was a wise decision for her to follow the empress.

The next one came was Manager Sun. Huang Ye would never forget whose contribution it was that allowed her to eat the leek dumplings today, so she packed eight for him and asked Xiao Xiangzi to run quickly to deliver them.

Manager Sun had been thinking about this matter ever since he had someone deliver the leeks to Ningyuxuan. When he heard Xiao Xiangzi entering the yard, he knew that food was coming for him. He sat at the table with dignity, and sure enough, when he saw Xiao Xiangzi coming in with an oil-paper bag in his hand, Manager Sun felt that the worry he had been carrying for the entire afternoon had finally come to fruition.

"Uncle Wu, look what I brought you? This is leek dumplings, the most delicious leek dumplings." Xiao Xiangzi opened the oil paper package on the table. A unique fragrance came out, making Xiao Xiangzi swallow his saliva involuntarily. He had just eaten one, and it was not enough to fill his teeth. He hoped that if he couldn't finish these, Uncle Wu would give him two.

Manager Sun looked calmly at the steaming leek box in the oil paper package and said, "You should go back quickly when the food has been delivered, otherwise the queen might not be able to find you when she needs you. You must do your job well." The boy's saliva was almost dripping onto the leek box. He had to drive him away, lest he miss his meal.

Xiao Xiangzi walked out reluctantly, but there was still a share for Eunuch Ma, so he had to go back quickly to claim the share for Eunuch Ma. Eunuch Ma was very generous and might give him half of it.

When Xiao Xiangzi ran back to Ningyuxuan, Xiao Chengzi had already sent Eunuch Ma's portion, but Huang Ye handed him another portion: "These are for Eunuch Yu, give them to him while they're still hot."

Xiao Xiangzi took it and turned to walk out. He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what exactly was wrong. Forget it, he decided to finish the task at hand first.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Eunuch Yu was arranging the emperor's evening meal. The palace servants placed the food on the table one after another. According to regulations, Eunuch Yu had to taste the food, so the emperor just sat nearby reading a book and had not yet sat down at the table.

"Master, someone is looking for you." A clever little eunuch stuck his head in and called softly to Eunuch Yu. He was Eunuch Yu's apprentice, responsible for running errands and so on.

Eunuch Yu looked at the emperor, but the emperor didn't even raise his head. As the chief eunuch, Eunuch Yu had to deal with a lot of things, and the emperor didn't think it was any different from usual.

Eunuch Yu walked out puzzledly. If it was a small matter, his disciples would not call him at this time. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Xiao Xiangzi standing in the yard.

When Xiao Xiangzi saw Eunuch Yu, he ran over to greet him and handed over the oil-paper package in his hands with both hands: "This is the food that our queen asked me to bring you. It's called leek dumplings. It's best to eat it while it's hot."

Eunuch Yu took it and looked at him again, which made Xiao Xiangzi puzzled: "I wonder if the steward has anything else to say?"

"It's only mine, where's the emperor's?" Is this Xiao Xiangzi so unreliable?

Xiao Xiangzi's head buzzed and he realized what was wrong. It turned out that the queen had forgotten the emperor.

In fact, Xiao Xiangzi guessed wrong. Huang Ye did not forget the emperor. She just felt that the emperor was worth a fortune, and if something went wrong after eating the things she sent him, it would be a capital crime. Besides, Concubine Du had been sending the things for three years, but the emperor had not eaten them. She would not do such a thankless task.

"Well... the Empress... she didn't say there was an Emperor." Xiao Xiangzi said hesitantly. He deserved to die. Why didn't he remind the Empress?

Eunuch Yu probably guessed what Huang Ye was thinking: "Your Majesty is right to have concerns. You go back and tell her that I thank her." He was a little worried. How should he tell the emperor later?

There is no doubt that Eunuch Yu is loyal to the emperor. Last time, when Huang Ye made some braised food for him, he thought he couldn't bear to keep it all by himself, so he presented it to the emperor. The emperor did not treat him badly and gave him half of it. Eunuch Yu felt that the chive box in his hand was a little hot. Last time he could say that it was a reward from Ning Yuxuan, but what should he say this time?

"Xiao Yuzi." The emperor was calling him from inside, and it seemed that he had already sat down at the table.

Eunuch Yu agreed and walked in. The emperor noticed the oil paper bag in his hand with his sharp eyes.

"What is that?" asked the emperor.

"It was Concubine Huang from Ningyuxuan who sent over the food. She said it's called leek dumplings." Eunuch Yu answered with a smile on his face, but in fact his heart was bleeding. Just by smelling it, he could guess how delicious the leek dumplings were. It was specially given to him by Concubine Huang.

Forget it. Concubine Huang is a good person. She remembers to give him food when she has it. He might as well help Concubine Huang to please the emperor. Eunuch Yu advised himself, so the smile on his face became more and more sincere.

The emperor couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. This Concubine Huang is quite good. He used to think that she had forgotten about him, and even suspected that he deliberately didn't send her anything. Now he is relieved. Thinking that Ning Yuxuan will send him any fresh food in the future, the emperor's mood can only be described as jubilant.

"Open it and let me see if there is any food we have never seen before." The emperor sat up straight and said reservedly.

Eunuch Yu quickly opened the oil paper package and saw six golden pancake-like foods inside, but these were crescent-shaped. Because Xiao Xiangzi ran fast, the surface of the leek cakes was still brown and had not become soft.

The emperor picked up one and was about to try it, but was stopped by Eunuch Yu: "Your Majesty, I haven't tried it yet. Wait until I have tasted it and it's ok before you eat it."

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Eunuch Yu. It was this glance that successfully made Eunuch Yu leave. Don't think he didn't know that little Yu was a greedy man and just wanted to eat the food given to him by Concubine Huang. How could he let him do as he wished?

Eunuch Yu: This was given to me by Concubine Huang. I just wanted to taste it.
