Chapter 124 Being able to eat is a blessing
Hibiscus Garden.
Hongdou went to practice with Hongger and Uncle Song early in the morning. Uncle Song was quite knowledgeable about whip techniques, and Hongdou had learned from her before, so he was full of praise for her talent. So after she came back, she would go to Qingsangju whenever she had nothing to do, and practice with Hongger. Hongger was very annoyed, but Uncle Song thought it was great, as he believed that martial arts can only be improved through real fighting. He taught this little girl everything he knew, as if she were another little apprentice of his.
Huang Ye also wanted to pick up martial arts training, this can not be abandoned. Unfortunately, her current task is to cover up the white first, she plans to go to her second brother's house this morning to warm up, second brother has a big house specially for martial arts training, she can also practice.
After lying on the bed for a while, letting her thoughts wander and listening to the prince's impatient mumbling outside, Huang Ye finished washing up with the help of two maids. After hearing Ruyi say that the weather was particularly cold today, she put on an extra cloak. She walked out of the house and prepared to go to her grandmother's house to have breakfast with her.
When she walked down the stairs, she subconsciously glanced towards the small kitchen, and then... rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Yes, she was not mistaken. At the door of the small kitchen, there was a large wooden basin with two large cleaned pig heads in it. She walked closer to take a look and saw two hangs of pig intestines. The prince was standing beside the wooden basin and jumping up and down.
Seeing her coming out, Uncle Chen walked in from outside the garden. He felt a little awkward and stuttered: "Miss... This was bought by Uncle Chen himself. It didn't cost much... Uncle Chen didn't have any other intentions. He just thought that if it was cooked, could Uncle Chen have some..."
Uncle Chen's face turned red with shame: It's all the old man and the old lady's fault. If they wanted to eat, why didn't they just ask their granddaughter to cook it? Why did they have to tell this lie to him? He is so shameless.
Huang Ye understood what was going on without having to see Uncle Chen's embarrassment. As the only young lady in the mansion, Uncle Chen was still a servant after all, and he didn't dare to use her. It must be that her family were foodies, and they wanted to eat but also had to save face, so they asked Uncle Chen to order her around.
"Mung Bean, take some people to deal with these things. I taught you how to do it yesterday." She instructed Mung Bean. Look, after she taught Mung Bean, she could let go. She had a good eye and picked Mung Bean. Huang Ye was very happy and gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
"And Prince, you are a king of the sky and the king of the forest. You can't just live without working. You have to fight in nature so that you can become the king in the future. You don't just want to be a domesticated golden eagle, do you?"
The chicken soup given to the prince was very effective. The prince immediately became excited and flew out to find food. He wanted to be the overlord, not a golden eagle.
When she arrived at the old lady's dining room, the old master had gone to court, and the old lady was sighing in front of the table full of breakfast.
"Alas, I never felt this way before, but since I had the food from your small kitchen yesterday, I found it hard to swallow." The old lady complained to Huang Ye.
"Your grandfather went to court on an empty stomach." She continued to act pitiful: "I don't know if he could have enough to eat in the Ministry of Rites cafeteria at noon. It's really worrying..." In fact, the old man did eat a bun, but he complained about how bad it tasted while eating.
Huang Ye: Well, now that we’ve come to this point, how can she not continue the conversation?
"When grandpa and the others get back from work tonight, let's come to my place for dinner." She was also very well behaved.
The old lady was waiting for her to say this, and she couldn't stop praising her happily: "Grandmother's darling granddaughter, how could she be so capable? If someone married her, wouldn't it be a blessing? No, my darling granddaughter can't be given to someone else's boy. Oh, I can't think about it. It makes me sad..."
Huang Ye listened obediently to her grandmother's mumbling, occasionally saying a few words in cooperation. She was only thirteen years old now, and it was impossible for her to take advantage of any boy.
After breakfast, Huang Ye chatted with the old lady. The old lady was in high spirits. She looked around mysteriously and said, "Last night, your grandfather was still sighing, saying that the current emperor was getting fatter and fatter, and he needed help to walk. His face was not good. He was not obedient. The imperial physician told him not to eat fatty food, but he insisted on eating it, and he had to eat meat every meal. Your grandfather was very worried."
She didn't say what she was worried about. Huang Ye knew that, as the saying goes, there is a king and ministers for every generation. The Huang family is a family of loyal ministers, and the old man and the emperor get along well with each other. If a new king is appointed, it is unknown whether trust can be rebuilt. So the old man certainly hopes that the emperor will be healthy and live a long life.
"But your grandfather also said that the current crown prince is also a capable person. Compared with his father, the crown prince handles things more rationally and more decisively." This means that the old man is also optimistic about the crown prince.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the current emperor. The Great Xia Dynasty was founded hundreds of years ago, and it has become the generation with the most intense competition for the throne to this generation.
The late emperor had eight princes. Because he was in good health, he reigned for a long time. When he reached his old age, the princes had grown strong and the means of fighting for the throne became more and more brutal. In the end, some were dead and some were disabled, leaving only the fifth prince, the emperor, as a complete man.
This emperor was also a blessed man. His biological mother was just a little palace maid. The previous emperor once got drunk and mistook her for someone else and had sex with her. This palace maid was also a lucky one. Just after that one time, she became pregnant with the fifth prince.
The fifth prince also knew that his biological mother was of low status. Even if she gave birth to a prince, she would only be given the title of concubine. He was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor. In addition, he had rarely seen his father since he was a child, so he was a transparent person among the other princes.
The other princes never took the Fifth Prince seriously. They thought the Fifth Prince was a loser. His greatest hobby in life was eating. As long as he heard that there was something delicious somewhere, he would do anything to get his hands on it. Such a person was not worth their attention.
Who knew that this matter would be so dramatic? He escaped the bloody storm of succession and was strongly recommended by the eldest princess, who pushed him to the throne of the emperor. It is said that when the late emperor abdicated, he said: "No wonder people say that being able to eat is a blessing. It seems that this is true."
