Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 285 Talking about Cooperation with the Emperor

Qiyun Hall.

"I have already bought the house in advance, and the decoration is almost finished now. It's just that I need to train the cook."

Huang Ye said to the emperor, "I want to ask Lu Dou to go out and teach the cooks how to cook. She should be able to teach them in a month."

"It's no use telling me this. A maid must have the Queen's approval before she can leave the palace."

After the emperor finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a question: "Is that restaurant far from the palace?"

"It's on a street that ministers must take after leaving court, very close to the palace."

Huang Ye knew exactly what he was thinking: "When the restaurant opens, you can go out for lunch if you want."

The retired emperor felt that his saliva was about to flow out, and he swallowed hard. The restaurant opened by the girl from the Huang family sounded like it would be delicious.

"It is not appropriate for me to be in charge of this matter. You should go to the emperor and ask him to give an oral order." The emperor knew the inside story and he knew that Huang Ye did not want to ask the queen for help.

Huang Ye felt a little guilty thinking about how he had pushed the emperor out several times, but important things were important: "I'll go ask Eunuch Yu if this can be done. If not, I'll still come to you."

"Go, go." The emperor drove her away. This child was good in every way except that she was not smart. His silly son was hoping that she would go and beg him.

Royal study room.

The Emperor heard from Eunuch Yu about Concubine Wang's pregnancy after leaving court. Instead of feeling happy, he felt disgusted.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go there? The concubine in the harem is pregnant. It is morally and logically necessary for Your Majesty to go there." Eunuch Yu reminded carefully.

The emperor knew that he was telling the truth, but he just didn't want to go to that Concubine Wang.

At this moment, Xiao Yinzi ran in: "Master, Concubine Huang is looking for you outside."

Eunuch Yu came out quickly and kicked Xiao Yinzi who was following behind him: "You fool, even if Concubine Huang came here, she was looking for the emperor. How did you report this?"

Didn’t you see that the Emperor’s face drooped when he heard that the person they were looking for was Eunuch Yu instead of him?

Xiao Yinzi smiled and said, "I was just happy to see Madam Huang, so I said less, but Madam Huang was indeed looking for a master."

When Eunuch Yu went down the stairs, he saw Huang Ye standing there waiting for him, and he hurried up to greet him.

"I don't know if the emperor is free now, so I'll ask the eunuch first."

Huang Ye said hesitantly. She had just thought that instead of speaking in a roundabout way to Eunuch Yu, she might as well just tell the Emperor. There was nothing the Emperor didn't know about Eunuch Yu.

"When you're free, you're free."

Eunuch Yu's eyes were smiling. The emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, so the arrival of Concubine Huang was just right.

The emperor was just wondering what the yellow leaf wanted to see Old Yu for, when he saw Eunuch Yu running in with a grin on his face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Huang wants to see you."

"Announce." The emperor's expression finally looked a little better.

Huang Ye came in to greet the emperor, and Eunuch Yu hurriedly asked someone to serve tea.

He said, the emperor felt different when he saw Concubine Huang. Didn’t you see that his face, which had been tense since he left the court, has relaxed now?

"What do you want to see me for?"

After asking this question, the emperor felt that something was not right. It meant that if there was something going on, he could come to see him, but if there was nothing going on, he couldn't come. As God is my witness, he really didn't have that idea.

"It's like this, Your Majesty. When I was at home, I wanted to open a restaurant. I even bought a house at that time, and now it's almost finished decorating. The only thing I need is a good cook. I want Lu Dou to leave the palace for a while, teach him how to cook, and then come back."

Huang Ye knew her own situation. If she went to ask the Queen for help, not only would the Queen not allow it, she might even try to hinder her. That was why she went to the Emperor for help.

"Where is your restaurant?" They are indeed father and son, even asking the same question.

"It's on the street that ministers take after leaving court."

Huang Ye suddenly had an idea. Since the emperor asked about it, it meant that he was also interested. If he could get the emperor to invest in it, then he wouldn't have to beg him for money. Moreover, with such a big backer, there would be no need to worry about any random people causing trouble.

"Your Majesty, this is what I want to say. If you agree, you can buy a share in this restaurant. You don't have to pay a penny. I just want you to write a plaque for me. I will also reserve a private room upstairs for you to use permanently. You can go there to eat anytime."

Looking at her sincerity, she didn't believe that the emperor would not be tempted.

"Also, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the restaurant's bad business. The food in Ningyuxuan is all made by Lu Dou. I'm sure Your Majesty will be satisfied with the taste." Huang Ye continued.

How could the emperor not be satisfied? He was too satisfied. If the restaurant was opened, he could go out of the palace incognito to eat. God knew how much he liked the food made by Ning Yuxuan.

"Don't take the dry shares. It's not easy for you to do business. I agree to the plaque. You just need to keep the private room for me." From the emperor's tone, it was clear that he agreed.

Huang Ye felt that today was a really good day. He didn't expect that the problem that had been bothering him for so many days would be solved in a moment: "The emperor said that as long as you have the order, Lu Dou can leave the palace."

"Whenever you want her to go out, just come and tell Xiao Yuzi, and let him go and announce it verbally."

The emperor was in a much better mood: "What did you name your restaurant?"

"The No. 1 Restaurant in the World." Huang Ye answered proudly. This was a name she had thought of for a long time. It was quite domineering and she liked it.

The emperor grinned but didn't dare laugh out loud. He just loved the proud look of the yellow leaf.

"Then I'll write it and let Xiao Yuzi send it to you. Otherwise, you can come to the imperial study to get it." The emperor said tentatively.

"Once you've finished writing it, just ask Eunuch Yu to send it to Ning Yuxuan."

Huang Ye would never go to the imperial study again. This place was not the right place for a concubine like her in the harem to go. She didn't know how many eyes were watching her from behind.

Chunjin Pavilion.

Wang Yuan touched her belly and a happy smile appeared on her face. The pregnancy-maintaining medicine her mother gave her was really effective.

She had been keeping an eye on it these days. She had a premonition when her period, which usually came on time, did not come. In order to seek the protection of the Queen Mother, she secretly went to see the Queen Mother at night. The Queen Mother asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, and sure enough, she was pregnant.

The Queen Mother told her not to make it public, saying that the fetus was not yet firmly established in the first three months and that if she did so, something might go wrong. She obediently kept the fact of her pregnancy a secret until today when she made it public in Kunning Palace.

Wang Yuan has always been very grateful that she surrendered to the Queen without hesitation. Now the Queen is very caring towards her. Even if someone wants to harm her, they have to get through the Queen.
