Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 603 Pepper Chicken

Ningyuxuan.

The eldest prince walked in from outside, accompanied by Xiao Chengzi.

He was practicing writing in the study just now, so he didn't come over.

"This is the eldest prince, the emperor's eldest son."

Huang Ye introduced these two people.

Song Yu and the others wanted to pay their respects to the eldest prince, but were stopped by Huang Ye and the young Prince Fu.

After they all sat down, Xiaojuan and Hongyue started serving the dishes.

Hongyue recovered quickly.

Although she can't do heavy work now, she still has no problem serving dishes.

After all the dishes were served, Song Yu and Mrs. Song were a little surprised.

Especially Song Yu.

He has been the emperor for many years. What kind of food has he not seen?

But the things on the table were not only the porcelain for serving dishes, but also the unique shapes they had never seen before.

They couldn't even recognize the dishes served in the porcelain.

What are those dishes?

What's more, there was not even a single person to serve the people at their table.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were supposed to serve these people ran to another table and waited for their meals.

"Mr. Song, Mrs. Song, please."

The emperor picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef and placed it in the small bowl in front of him.

He is the oldest person at the table. No one else can pick up their chopsticks until he does.

Seeing the retired emperor start eating, the third prince became less polite.

He directly reached for the pepper chicken that he had been eyeing with his chopsticks.

"This is spicy chicken, please try it."

Huang Ye picked up a chicken leg for Mrs. Song.

But she was a little worried.

She was afraid that Mrs. Song couldn't eat such heavy-flavored dishes.

Now is the season when Sichuan peppercorns are ripe, so the Sichuan peppercorns we use today are fresh ones.

The extreme numbness combined with chili pepper is not something that most people can accept.

“It’s delicious…really delicious.”

As soon as Mrs. Song put the chicken leg into her mouth, she immediately fell in love with the taste.

"Husband, try this spicy chicken. It tastes so good."

Mrs. Song's mouth turned red from the spicy smell, but she still did not forget to introduce Song Yu.

And Song Yu...

He already feels like his eyes aren't enough, okay?

He had never eaten any of the dishes on the table.

Moreover, most of the dishes were added with the chili pepper introduced to him by the emperor.

He really likes the taste of this pepper.

Because there are guests here today.

The Third Prince and the young Prince Fu were also quite polite when they first started eating.

But as they ate, they began to let themselves go.

"Mr. Song, how is my sister's food? Is it delicious?"

Little Prince Fu was very proud.

So what if Song Yu was the emperor before? Has he ever eaten such delicious food?

"I have never eaten such delicious food before. Concubine Ye made me feel that I have been the emperor for so many years, but it was really in vain."

Song Yu was not pretentious, he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Madam Ye Fei, your chili is really delicious."

Mrs. Song also praised the food highly.

"If Madam likes to eat it, I will ask Hongdou to pick some when you leave, and you can take it back to eat."

Huang Ye was very happy to hear that the food at Ningyuxuan received sincere praise from the guests.

"Don't worry, Madam. I'll remember it."

Anko replied from another table.

“And this tofu is really delicious.”

Song Yu has a special liking for that plate of Mapo Tofu.

Seeing that he liked it, everyone at the table tacitly didn't fight with him for the food.

So he ate a lot.

"This tofu is not sold outside yet."

Huang Ye is preparing to open a tofu workshop these days.

Because if her snack street opens, tofu will be used more often.

So she asked Qingyuer to find a place as soon as possible and open a tofu workshop.

Even if the tofu made in that workshop cannot be used in snack streets and restaurants, it can be sold in the market.

This tofu is now a rare commodity in the Great Xia Dynasty, and there is no worry about not being able to sell it.

Huang Ye is thinking about it now.

When Song Yu and the others return later, she will pack some food for them.

Because she had a very good impression of these two people.

Huang Ye has always been very generous to people he likes.

After these people finished their lively meal, Hongyue and the others served them tea.

"Your Majesty, my stomach is full."

Looking at the green tea, Song Yu said sincerely.

He had such a good meal at noon that he ate too much.

"Me too."

The third prince also curled up in his chair and didn't want to move.

"We have guest rooms at Ningyuxuan. If you two don't mind, you can go and rest for a while."

Huang Ye gave these two people some suggestions.

"Then we would be disrespectful."

Mrs. Song was also a straightforward person, and she agreed immediately.

If this person is full, he just wants to lie down for a while.

Not to mention that they have gotten used to taking naps these days.

After Xiao Xiangzi took the two of them away, everyone in the room fell silent.

"I think I should tell Song Yu about Concubine Shu's matter."

Huang Ye suggested.

Although Song Yu came here today, he didn't mention anything about Concubine Shu.

But that was also based on the fact that he believed Concubine Shu was no longer around.

He and Concubine Shu are brothers from the same mother, and it is said that they have a very good relationship as siblings.

"If Concubine Shu is not released, there is no point in their meeting."

Xiao Fuwang analyzed the situation with Huang Ye.

"From what I've observed, Song Yu has let go of everything and is living a very comfortable life now."

"But if he knew that his sister was still suffering in prison, he might not have a good life in the future."

The third prince took over and said.

"Then... let's release Concubine Shu as well... whether she wants to live with Song Yu or Xuanyuan Jing, it's up to her."

Huang Ye suggested.

Everyone in the room looked at the emperor.

Concubine Shu had put a curse on the emperor, and he almost died.

Whether or not to release Concubine Shu depends on whether the emperor is willing.

"I agree with Concubine Ye's proposal. Concubine Shu did that because each of them served their own master. I don't blame her anymore."

The emperor is a man with a big picture, and what he says is very convincing.

"Now that I have pardoned Song Yu for such a serious crime, there is no reason for me to bother with a woman."

"What about you, the Supreme Emperor? Tell me what you think too."

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Huang Ye began to seek the opinion of the emperor emeritus.

After all, in the matter of Concubine Shu, the emperor was also a victim.

"Don't tell me these things. I won't get involved in your affairs."

The emperor stood up.

"I'm going back to Qiyun Palace. Remember to call me when you have dinner."

After saying this, he turned around and walked out without caring about the expressions of the people in the room.

"The emperor is quite pitiful."

Huang Ye sighed.

"Then let's do as we discussed just now. I'll talk to Song Yu after they've rested."

Huang Ye felt that it would be more appropriate for her to say such sentimental words.

"Okay then. The third brother and I will go to my uncle's place to sleep for a while. If they wake up, you can ask Xiao Xiangzi to call me."

The young Prince Fu stood up and went to the Qiyun Palace with the third prince.
