Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 602 What a big family should look like

Royal study room.

Mr. and Mrs. Song Yu tasted the tea in their cups.

"This kind of tea is the first time I have seen it. The Great Xia Dynasty is truly worthy of being called the Celestial Empire..."

Mrs. Song also praised this way of drinking tea.

"If you two like it, I will ask Eunuch Yu to bring you two kilograms when we leave the palace later."

The emperor was very happy to see that these two people were genuine.

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Song Yu did not refuse.

He had just arrived and didn't know where to buy this kind of tea.

It just so happened that the emperor gave him two kilograms, and he would not refuse it hypocritically.

"You two may not know that this kind of tea is only available in the emperor's tea plantation, and in the entire capital, only Tianxia Diyilou sells it..."

Little Prince Fu chatted with the two men.

With the help of Prince Fu to adjust the atmosphere, the people in the imperial study quickly relaxed.

Several people were chatting with each other.

They talked about the customs and practices of various places in the Great Xia Dynasty, and then talked about some interesting stories in Nanzhao, and their conversation became more and more speculative.

After talking for a while, the Emperor, Prince Fu, and Song Yu all felt that they had met too late.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time for lunch."

Seeing that these people couldn't stop chatting, Eunuch Yu reminded them.

"Today I invite you two to the palace. I have set up a small banquet in Ningyuxuan. I welcome you two to my Great Xia."

The emperor stood up and invited Song Yu and his wife to go to Ningyuxuan for dinner with him.

Of course, the Song Yu couple were not being pretentious.

Since the two of them had entered the palace, of course they wanted to see what the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty looked like.

So these people didn't ask for a sedan chair, and just walked and talked until they arrived at Ningyuxuan.

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye had instructed the prince early on to stand guard.

Because the prince was in the tree house, he could spot them coming early.

So wait until they come over.

Huang Ye and Hong Dou were already standing at the gate, waiting for them.

"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Song to Ningyuxuan."

Huang Ye walked forward with a smile and extended his hand to Mrs. Song.

Her voice was also very infectious, making the two people feel her kindness immediately.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but stretch out her hand and hold Huang Ye's hand.

"Madam Song, this Ningyuxuan is the palace where I live. It is my small vegetable garden. The vegetables we had for lunch today were all grown in this small vegetable garden."

Huang Ye took Mrs. Song and walked into the yard, while introducing herself to her proudly.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but stop.

"Madam Ye Fei, may I have a look at this small vegetable garden?"

"Of course."

Huang Ye waved happily to the emperor and others.

"You go in and have some tea first. Madam Song and I will take a look at the small vegetable garden before we go in."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for the emperor's agreement and took Madam Song into the small vegetable garden.

The emperor shook his head helplessly.

"My concubine Ye...she just loves to play. I spoil her because of her...I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Song."

"Empress Ye is innocent and lively, and she is a person of true nature."

Song Yu has been the emperor for so many years, so he has some ability to judge people.

This Concubine Ye showed great kindness as soon as they came in.

It seemed that she was afraid that the two of them would feel uncomfortable coming to Ning Yuxuan, so she deliberately let them let down their guard.

When Song Yu was about to reach the corridor, the emperor and the third prince came out to greet him.

Of course, the two men did not ask Song Yu to kneel down and kowtow, but at his insistence, they asked him to perform the usual etiquette.

In the small vegetable garden, Mrs. Song was also observing the yellow leaves with great interest.

This Concubine Ye looked the most beautiful she had ever seen in her life.

No wonder the emperor looks at her differently. Even when he holds a banquet, it is always held at her place.

"I see that Concubine Ye is more than three months pregnant. You should stay in your room and take good care of your baby now."

Because what Huang Ye just showed was that he was very approachable.

So Mrs. Song didn't have so many concerns.

She praised the vegetables in the small vegetable garden while chatting with Huang Ye.

"Madam is right. I am a person who can't sit still."

Huang Ye looked at Mrs. Song with a smile.

"Look at the vegetables in this small vegetable garden. Many of them were planted by me, like this..."

Huang Ye pointed to a chili plant and showed it to Mrs. Song.

"I planted this pepper plant. Every time I see the peppers it produces, I feel a sense of accomplishment."

"I have never seen this pepper before. It should be a specialty of your Great Xia Dynasty, right?"

Mrs. Song looked at the red and green peppers and thought they were very beautiful.

She thought it would be pleasing to the eye if she planted a few of them in the yard for viewing.

"This is not a specialty of the Great Xia Dynasty, but a specialty of our Ningyuxuan."

As Huang Ye walked into the small living room with Mrs. Song, he introduced the origin of chili peppers to her.

When Huang Ye and the others walked into the small living room, the Emperor and his companions were chatting animatedly.

Since the emperor was a kind person, Song Yu was also very talkative.

So as the two of them chatted, they felt that they had met too late.

When he saw Huang Ye coming in, little Prince Fu kept shouting that he was hungry.

"Sister, is the food in your kitchen ready? I didn't eat breakfast for this lunch."

Hearing him say this, the third prince quickly agreed.

"I haven't eaten since this morning, and I'm very hungry now."

"Why are you butting in when they are talking?"

The young Prince Fu looked at the third prince unhappily.

"You dare to tell me you're hungry? I don't believe you'll be so honest after coming to Ning Yuxuan. Maybe you've been to the small kitchen many times, right?"

The emperor smiled happily.

"Before you came, Lao San was kicked out of the small kitchen by Lu Dou. Lu Dou said that he was always standing by the stove and disturbing her cooking."

"I was just watching, she didn't let me eat..."

The third prince complained.

Looking at this harmonious and warm scene, to be honest, Song Yu and Mrs. Song were very envious.

This is what a big family should look like.

No one knew whose temperament Xuanyuan Jing inherited, but she looked much more dull than these people.

Song Yu thought that even if Xuanyuan Jing had not encountered this incident, he would still want to integrate into the circle of these people.

Given his personality, it's quite difficult.

"Hongdou, go to the small kitchen and check if the food is ready. Tell them to serve it quickly. Don't let the two princes go hungry."

Huang Ye instructed Hong Dou with a smile.

"My lady, the food is ready, and we are waiting for you to come and eat."

Xiao Xiangzi, who was guarding the door, stuck his head in and said.

"Then let's go to the dining room together."

The emperor stood up and led the way out.

Food room.

There are two large ice basins in the dining room today.

This is specially placed here today because there are guests. It is not usually found in the dining room.

Since there were only two tables in the dining room, Huang Ye accompanied Madam Song and sat at the same table with the Emperor and others.

"Mrs. Song, today is a family dinner, so there aren't that many rules. We usually eat at the same table."

Huang Ye was afraid that Mrs. Song would feel restrained, so she pulled Mrs. Song to sit next to her.
