Chapter 397 Taking the initiative to share the emperor's worries
Ningyuxuan.
It was almost time for lunch, but Eunuch Yu came to Ning Yuxuan.
"Eunuch Yu, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Huang Ye asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, Madam Concubine. The Emperor asked me to come and tell you to come to the Yangxin Palace this afternoon."
Eunuch Yu should have come to notify us earlier, but he was delayed because he went to the Cining Palace in the morning.
"Does Eunuch Yu know...what does the emperor want to talk to me about?"
Huang Ye continued to ask.
She didn't think that the emperor's visit to her in the afternoon would lead to anything good.
Eunuch Yu looked at Huang Ye with satisfaction.
If any other concubine heard that the emperor summoned her, she would be extremely happy.
It's possible that they could run in and dress up right now.
This Ye Jieyu is so different.
She is worthy of being the empress that Eunuch Yu has high hopes for. He has great vision.
"Don't worry, Madam Concubine. The Emperor just wants to talk to you."
After hearing what Eunuch Yu said, Huang Ye felt half relieved.
"What happened?"
She continued to ask.
Eunuch Yu admired Concubine Ye's sharpness.
"The matter of the deposed empress and Concubine Lin, and..."
Eunuch Yu lowered his voice.
"Today, the envoys from Nanzhao Kingdom came..."
Huang Ye nodded in understanding.
The position of emperor is not easy to sit on. None of these issues are easy to resolve.
However, although she understood the emperor's difficulties, it did not mean that she was willing to discuss these topics with the emperor.
"Eunuch Yu, can you tell the emperor that I have a severe headache today, as well as my elbow and my pierced neck..."
She gestured on her body in a pretentious manner.
"I'm in pain all over my body. This might be the aftereffect of the drug the Queen Mother gave me."
Eunuch Yu looked at the hypocritical Concubine Ye speechlessly.
What does it mean when you are talking about your elbow and touching your elbow?
Also, your face is so rosy, you don't look like you're in pain at all.
"If it's Madam Jieyu, I can bring it to you, but..."
"It's just what..."
Huang Ye is afraid of what others will say, and usually there is nothing good to say about him.
"When I came here, the Emperor told me that if the Concubine Jieyu didn't want to go to the Yangxin Palace, I should ask you..."
Eunuch Yu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"That Cining Palace is haunted..."
"Eunuch Yu, I suddenly feel no pain anywhere in my body. Go back and tell the emperor that I will go to the Yangxin Palace this afternoon."
Huang Ye couldn't stand the threat, so he spoke seriously to Eunuch Yu.
"Then I will go back and report to the Emperor. If the Emperor hears that the Empress has been there, he will definitely be very happy."
Eunuch Yu narrowed his eyes in joy and said with a grin.
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the quick-talking Hongdou.
"Eunuch Yu, would you like to have a piece of the thousand-layer pancake that our kitchen baked for lunch today?"
When Eunuch Yu saved her in the Cining Palace that day, the concern in his eyes and words was real, and Hongdou was grateful for his kindness.
"Thousand Layer Pancake?"
This was food that Eunuch Yu had never heard of before.
He suddenly felt that his steps weighed a thousand pounds.
"My Lady, can I take that thousand-layer cake home to eat?"
Eunuch Yu was a loyal man. He thought that the emperor would be worried about state affairs again at noon today and would be so worried that he couldn't eat.
As the emperor's personal eunuch, isn't it his duty to get some food for the emperor?
"Ask Green Bean, if there are any, ask her to bring them all to Eunuch Yu, so that Xiao Yinzi can have a taste too."
Huang Ye instructed Hong Dou.
It seems that the Emperor has already found out about Xiao Yinzi's help in playing a prank on the Empress Dowager.
She had to bribe the emperor with food to prevent him from punishing the child.
Eunuch Yu also understood what Huang Ye meant.
"Don't worry, your majesty. Xiao Yinzi is fine. The emperor has no intention of blaming him."
"That's good. This thousand-layer cake should be eaten while it's hot. Please hurry up, father-in-law."
Huang Ye handed the oil paper bag to Eunuch Yu.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor had already returned to the Yangxin Palace at this time.
For some reason, he didn't want to have lunch in the Imperial Study when he thought about the yellow leaves coming to the Yangxin Palace in the afternoon.
"Your Majesty, do you see what delicious food I brought from Ningyuxuan?"
Before anyone arrived, Eunuch Yu's voice came from outside the dining room.
The emperor hasn't started eating yet.
Hearing what Eunuch Yu said, he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Eunuch Yu came running in. He didn't even bother to greet the emperor and quickly opened the oil-paper bag in his hand.
A unique aroma of pasta rushed into the emperor's nose.
Looking at the layers of paper-thin noodles in front of him, the emperor's appetite was aroused.
"Not bad, very delicious."
The emperor ate half of the bag of thousand-layer cake in one breath, drinking the green tea handed to him by Eunuch Yu.
"What did Ye Jieyu say? Will she come over this afternoon?"
The emperor, who had eaten and drunk his fill, remembered to ask this question.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ye was very happy to hear that you summoned her. This thousand-layer cake was given to Your Majesty by her."
Eunuch Yu decided to speak well of Concubine Ye.
The emperor glanced at his dishonest servant.
Can that yellow leaf be obedient?
I'm afraid that if he hadn't added that last sentence, the little rascal would not have been willing to come over.
I have to say, the emperor has revealed the truth.
Huang Ye came over reluctantly after taking a nap.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to talk to the emperor.
The key point is that those matters are not something she can have a say in with her current status as a concubine.
"Concubine, please see the emperor."
Seeing the emperor sitting there reading a book, Huang Ye stepped forward and saluted obediently.
"Get up. Next time you come here, if there are no outsiders, you don't have to go through these formalities."
The emperor doesn't care about these red tape.
He felt that the right thing to do was to relax in his own room.
Huang Ye loved to hear him say this.
"Then I would like to thank the emperor."
She smiled and asked Hongdou to take out the sunflower seeds she had brought.
How can we drink tea and chat without eating melon seeds?
Huang Ye attaches great importance to the sense of ritual.
Eunuch Yu was grinning with joy.
He even personally took care of Huang Ye.
Huang Ye felt that some of these things were really amazing.
The incident she had with the Emperor a few days ago was very unpleasant.
She was still thinking that meeting the emperor today would definitely be very awkward.
She was ready to face the emperor's cold face.
I didn't expect the emperor to be such an emperor.
Not only did the emperor not blame her, he also gave her the privilege of not having to perform the salute in the future.
This touched her deeply.
Huang Ye, moved by the emperor's magnanimity, was very easy to talk to.
"Your Majesty asked me to come here. Does he have something to say to me?"
Huang Ye took the initiative to talk to the emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied with the yellow leaves.
How could he not get enough of her wanting to share his worries?
