Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 308 Tofu Nao

Kunning Palace.

Lan Ruo followed Nanny Yang in. She walked up to the queen and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty called me here, what's the matter?"

The queen raised her head and looked at Lan Ruo. She hadn't looked at Lan Ruo directly for a long time.

Only now did I realize that Lan Ruo had a ruddy complexion and looked a lot fatter than before.

"Lan Ruo, please take out the medicine from before and give it to Madam Yang."

The queen didn't say what medicine, but Lanruo understood.

"Miss."

Lan Ruo hesitated: "That kind of medicine..."

"Just take out the medicine."

The queen suddenly became angry, but Lan Ruo was still as soft-hearted as ever.

But in this harem, being soft-hearted is the worst thing to do. Even though she has been so tough, aren't those people still jumping around happily?

Lan Ruo came to her bedroom with a heavy heart. Her bedroom was in the side hall where the eldest princess lived.

In the courtyard of the side hall, the eldest princess was lying on a table and tracing large characters, but it was obvious that she was a little absent-minded.

"Mommy."

Seeing Lanruo coming back, the eldest princess put down the brush in her hand and ran over, looking obviously relieved.

Although she was young, she knew that the people who served her would be scolded by her mother from time to time.

Nanny Lanruo treated her very well. She was afraid that she would be like other palace maids in the past, who were called away by their mother and never came back.

"Princess."

Lan Ruo squatted down and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. The child started to eat well since the last Lantern Festival, and she was getting fatter day by day.

The eldest princess is now not only fatter, but also in much better health, and even her hair has become a lot darker.

Now the Queen is busy with the affairs of the harem and seldom asks about the eldest princess's daily life. She is relieved to have Lan Ruo by her side.

Therefore, in the side hall Lanruo, the eldest princess rarely tied her hair. She just tied a loose braid at the back of her head. Now the eldest princess' hair has grown back a lot.

"If the princess doesn't want to write anymore, she can go inside and play. It's too hot in the corridor."

Lan Ruo said lovingly.

"Mammy, I am feeling better now. Can I go out and play with Lady Huang?"

The eldest princess asks this question every few days.

If Lan Ruo knew how much the Queen hated Concubine Huang, she would definitely not agree to let her go out and play with Concubine Huang, but she couldn't say this.

"As long as the princess eats well every day, I will take her to see your Lady Huang."

Lan Ruo made a promise against her will.

"Yeah, I understand."

The eldest princess nodded sensibly. It seemed that she needed to eat more, otherwise she would not be able to go out to find Queen Huang.

Lan Ruo stood up, walked to her own bedroom, and took out a small bottle from the innermost part of a wardrobe.

She thought about it, poured out some of the white powder in the bottle, and then wrapped it in a piece of oil paper.

It would be better to harm as few people as possible, Lan Ruo thought, just consider it as accumulating blessings for the eldest princess.

Ningyuxuan.

“It worked…it worked.”

Huang Ye's cheers came from the small kitchen. She looked at the big pot of tofu pudding and wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Huang Ye is so happy that she almost flies up because she doesn't have to pay respects to Kunning Palace these days. She spends every day thinking about food in her Ningyuxuan. This tofu is a difficult problem that she has been trying to solve.

She knew that brine was necessary to make tofu.

But she only remembered the recipe for the brine, but didn't know the proportions. She had been experimenting for the past few days, and finally succeeded today.

Huang Ye scooped a large bowl of the tofu pudding from the pot, mixed it with honey, and then scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. This was the taste, so... wonderful.

"It's a pity there's no sugar."

Huang Ye muttered to himself, and then asked everyone in Ningyuxuan to bring their bowls over, one bowl per person, so that they could all taste the tofu pudding.

"My lady, it's delicious. I want more."

Hongdou fell in love with the taste at once, and she felt that she could eat three big bowls by herself.

"Such a big pot is not enough for you."

Huang Ye decided not to make tofu for today's tofu pudding. Now that he had the recipe, he already had tofu. It was no rush, a day sooner or later.

"My queen, do you want to send some to Qiyun Palace? Also, the prince is also in Qiyun Palace..."

Red beans remind yellow leaves.

"All of them."

Huang Ye thought that since it was being given away, everyone should have a share. If it was not enough, he could just cook another pot. It was no big deal.

Therefore, everyone who had eaten the yellow leaves, including the newly added fifth prince, was given a big bowl of tofu pudding.

Moreover, the person who delivered the food also gave a friendly reminder that if you are not full, you can go to Ningyuxuan to continue eating, as Ningyuxuan has plenty of this stuff.

Huang Ye felt a little sorry for the young Prince Fu. The family of Prince Fu had already arrived in the capital, and he had moved out of the palace and moved into the newly renovated Prince Fu's Mansion.

If he still lived in the palace, she would definitely send him one. In Huang Ye's heart, the little Prince Fu is like an older brother.

Royal study room.

Xiao Xiangzi came over carrying a big food basket.

Xiao Yinzi saw it from afar, and he quickly ran over and took the food basket from Xiao Xiangzi.

Now, he and Xiao Xiangzi have become good friends. Whenever food is sent to the imperial study, Xiao Xiangzi will get a portion for him.

"Xiao Yinzi, the Queen has also prepared a portion for you. Take it out first."

Xiao Xiangzi opened the food basket, took out a large bowl of tofu pudding and asked Xiao Yinzi to take it away. Then he picked up the food basket and walked towards the door of the imperial study. Eunuch Yu came out, took the food basket and carried it inside.

"Your Majesty, this is a new delicacy made by Ning Yuxuan. It is called tofu pudding. Please try it."

Eunuch Yu brought out two bowls of tofu pudding, placed one bowl on the table in front of the emperor, and the other bowl on the coffee table beside him. This bowl was given to him by Concubine Huang.

The emperor scooped up a piece of tofu pudding with a spoon and observed it. The food swayed gently in the spoon, and it looked very white and tender.

He put the spoon into his mouth, and a special sweet taste suddenly made him feel much better after being depressed for a few days.

The emperor ate the bowl of tofu pudding in front of him cleanly in one breath, spoonful after spoonful. Still not satisfied, he turned his gaze to Eunuch Yu's bowl.

Eunuch Yu quickly put his bowl in front of the emperor. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel bad. This wasn't...

Didn’t Xiao Xiangzi just tell us that Ning Yuxuan is still there? At worst, Xiao Yinzi can just make another trip later.

The emperor knew how much Eunuch Yu liked Ning Yuxuan’s food.

"This is yours, I won't fight with you for it."

"Your Majesty, please eat this bowl. Xiao Xiangzi just said that Ning Yuxuan still has..."

Eunuch Yu smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten well these past few days. You don't know it yourself, but you have lost weight."
