Chapter 234 2 Drama Queens
Ningyuxuan.
The little prince Fu and the third prince were not able to have dinner at Ningyuxuan in the end. The reason was simple. The emperor sent eunuch Yu to call them to the Yangxin Palace, saying that he wanted to discuss important matters with them. Could they not go? Of course not.
So, now these two people are looking at Huang Ye crying. If you don’t know, you would think that they are being bullied in Ningyuxuan.
Huang Ye looked at the two actors speechlessly. It was just ordering food, why did they have to act so hard? "Eunuch Yu, can you let them eat first?" Huang Ye discussed with Eunuch Yu.
"Your Majesty means well, but the Emperor has instructed you two to go over right now." Eunuch Yu replied with a smile. Although Concubine Huang meant well, she didn't think about it. How could the Emperor feel good about letting two outsiders have dinner in Ningyuxuan so late at night? Or maybe they are too young. Aunt Fanghua is an elder in the palace, but she didn't even remind him.
In fact, Eunuch Yu blamed Fanghua wrongly. She had reminded Huang Ye since the morning when the young Prince Fu proposed to have dinner at Ningyuxuan. After all, the Prince of Fu and the Third Prince are adult men. If they have dinner at Ningyuxuan in the evening, it will cause gossip. Don't you see that Concubine Xu and the Empress Dowager are trying to find fault with the Empress?
And the emperor has never set foot into the door of Ningyuxuan, but these two ignorant people have come here several times to see the prince. If the emperor knew, who knows what he would think. It must be said that Fanghua is a very qualified housekeeper who has analyzed all the possibilities.
But Huang Ye thought that they had helped her so much, wasn't it just a meal? Ning Yuxuan was watched by so many people, what could happen? Besides, she had eaten at the same table with the two of them in Qiyun Palace last time, and the emperor didn't say anything at that time. In short, Fang Hua was successfully convinced by her.
"Well... okay..." Huang Ye thought about it, and asked Luodou to pick up some of each of the braised dishes that had been cut and mixed in the kitchen with chopsticks and wrap them in a large oil paper bag. She packed three portions in total. Eunuch Yu was a good man, and she couldn't let him go back empty-handed.
Huang Ye also knew the rules of the palace. Visitors from above had to be rewarded. As a favorite of the emperor, Eunuch Yu was not short of reward money, so he might as well send him some food, which was also a token of Ning Yuxuan's appreciation.
"Is there any for me? Thank you, Your Majesty... Thank you, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Yu was flattered. Even the emperor didn't have any of the braised food from Ningyuxuan yet, but he got it first. To be honest, he was also greedy when he smelled the aroma of the braised food in Qiyun Palace just now, but he didn't have any share. He was greedy and there was nothing he could do. Now that he got such a big bag in a flash, he suddenly felt... a little unreal. Also, if the emperor knew that Concubine Huang gave him some but he didn't have any share, he would become Old Yu again.
"It's just some food. If you don't mind, whenever Ning Yuxuan makes something delicious, I'll ask Xiao Xiangzi to send you a portion." Huang Ye said with a smile. This Eunuch Yu is someone close to the emperor. If you curry favor with him, a word from him at a critical moment can save his life.
"Good, good..." Eunuch Yu said three good words in a row. Concubine Huang was very perceptive. Eunuch Ai was right. Concubine Huang was a person with great luck. Maybe...
The little Prince Fu and the Third Prince were happy. They were not pretending just now. They were really sad. It was too awful to see the food but not be able to eat it. But it was okay. It would be the same if they took the food back and ate it. They didn't know what urgent matter the Emperor had to call them over so late at night. What did he do during the day?
After seeing off these three people, everyone in Ningyuxuan breathed a sigh of relief. The two said that they were under pressure to have dinner in Ningyuxuan, and now that they had finally left, they could start eating.
The dining room for the palace servants of Ningyuxuan was in a room in the yard behind the small kitchen. There were two tables inside. Although the eunuchs and palace maids ate in one room, the tables were separate. There were two large basins on each table, one containing prepared braised food, and the other containing the classic stir-fried pork belly with radish cubes. There were also two large bowls of stir-fried vegetables.
Huang Ye came in personally to check and felt that there should be enough to eat, mainly because too much of the braised food had been distributed. The aunt did not come back for dinner, so Huang Ye left a portion for her. And the prince was also greedy. He asked for two large bowls of braised food for himself... no, for an eagle. Huang Ye knew that he was asking for it on behalf of Xiao Xiangzi and did not say anything. He should spoil his own eagle. Besides, the prince had made a great contribution. The ingredients for the braised food were all brought from the mansion to the palace by him.
When they saw Huang Ye coming in, the palace servants in Ningyuxuan who were about to sit down to eat stood up and saluted.
Huang Ye asked them to sit down: "Today is the first day of Ningyuxuan's small kitchen opening. Let's all get together tonight. If you want to change your taste and cook your own food, you can also do it in the small kitchen. From now on, our Ningyuxuan will be a whole. I hope everyone will truly regard Ningyuxuan as their own home. Everyone will work together to make our home the most beautiful home."
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell me. I am your master and will try my best to solve them for you. Now you can start eating."
Huang Ye walked out after she finished speaking. Her meal was the same as theirs tonight. Hongdou must have been waiting impatiently in the dining room.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Just now, after Eunuch Yu went to Ningyuxuan to call out to those two blind bastards, the Emperor had people put the braised food brought back from Qiyun Palace on the table full of food and started to eat. It was also strange that after eating the braised food made by Concubine Huang, he felt that all the food on the table was not fragrant anymore.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about this late at night? Do you want me to have dinner with you?"
The young Prince Fu walked in from outside with a smile on his face. Without being invited, they pulled up a chair and sat at the dining table. The third prince followed suit and sat on the other side of the emperor. The two of them saw that the emperor also had braised food and they couldn't miss it. As for the portion they got from Ningyuxuan, it was... because they were afraid that someone would snatch it away, so they had someone send it back to their own place in advance for safety.
Seeing how these two couldn't take their eyes off the braised food, the emperor had something to understand. He quickly signaled the eunuch to come over, and they quickly packed up the braised food on the table and took it away. What were these two thinking? Even these were shamelessly extorted from eunuch Ai by him. If they wanted to eat them, they should find a way themselves.
"Your Majesty, we three are brothers." Little Prince Fu shouted unhappily, "Brothers, do you still need to hide food when eating?"
"That's right." The third prince also chimed in, saying that the eldest brother was too stingy.
