Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 436 Dumplings with Shepherd's Purse

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"I also know this truth, but the laws of our ancestors cannot be violated..."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Huang Ye became bolder.

"Hasn't the Emperor already disobeyed?"

Now even Eunuch Yu was looking at Huang Ye.

When did the emperor violate the ancestral rules? How come he didn't know?

"Your Majesty, look, that deposed queen almost killed the eldest prince, but you only stripped the Zhenxi Palace of its title and didn't punish them any more, didn't you?"

Eunuch Yu thought about it and agreed.

The deposed empress plotted to murder the prince, which was a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of her clan.

"The Zhenxi Palace is different. The palace has natural immunity."

The emperor said seriously.

"Then there is Concubine Lin."

Huang Ye continued.

"She colluded with people from the Southern Zhao Kingdom to murder the concubines in the harem. Your Majesty, didn't you just let their family members make amends for their crimes?"

"That's because of the help of her father and brother. The court is in need of talents right now..."

The emperor's voice was obviously much lower.

"Then may I ask Your Majesty, has Marquis Dingyuan ever had any intention of being disloyal?"

Huang Ye asked again.

"Marquis Dingyuan's loyalty to the Great Xia Dynasty is beyond doubt."

The emperor generally has a good understanding of his subjects.

"The king wants his subjects to be loyal to him."

Huang Ye smiled.

"Your Majesty, just because Marquis Dingyuan is so loyal to you, you can't just kill them all, right?"

"I know, I know everything..."

The emperor pinched his brows in distress.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to say something disrespectful."

Eunuch Yu thought to himself, you have already said a lot of disrespectful words.

Huang Ye doesn't care what others think, she just wants to say it.

"If the emperor orders the death of the people in Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion this time, then on the surface, it will seem that this matter has deterred those villains with evil intentions."

"But the consequences of this incident will chill the hearts of your ministers."

Seeing that Huang Ye's analysis was very logical, the emperor wanted her to help him think of a solution.

"Then let you handle this matter. How will you solve it?"

"Let me handle it..."

Huang Ye lowered his head in thought.

"Law is nothing but human nature. Law is dead, but people are alive..."

In fact, Huang Ye is still pretending.

The specific solutions are all in her mind.

"Your Majesty, I think... if we demote the Marquis Dingyuan to a commoner and drive him out of the capital..."

Seeing that the emperor was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter, Huang Ye decided to keep quiet.

If she continues, it would be meddling in politics.

She doesn't want to worry about anything that will not bring her any good results.

How the emperor should do it is none of her business.

She just... pulled out a little bit of the thread.

"Your suggestion is very good. Let me consider it carefully."

The emperor had been struggling with this since last night, and now, the heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Now that the matter has been settled, the emperor will no longer think about it.

but…

He glanced at Eunuch Yu lightly.

"Madam Concubine, I wonder if you still have the dumplings that Ning Yuxuan made last night?"

Eunuch Yu smiled apologetically at Huang Ye.

Your Majesty, what a fool! If you want to eat, just say so directly. Why do you have to make him ask for it?

He is just a eunuch, doesn't his face seem that big?

"You have to ask Hongdou about this. She knows best what to eat in the evening."

Huang Ye joked.

The girl Hongdou would like to run to the kitchen more than ten times a day.

Therefore, whatever is cooked in Ning Yuxuan's small kitchen every day cannot escape her eyes.

"The dumplings from last night are out."

Anko added unhappily.

"You forgot, Madam, when you went back last night, you told me to call everyone from Qiyun Palace over and share those dumplings..."

Others don’t feel bad about eating red beans, but Hongyue ate a lot of them.

This was what bothered her most last night.

If the Queen hadn't signaled her, she would have wanted to throw those dumplings into Hongyue's face.

That Hongyue even dared to pretend nothing had happened and asked the Empress about the whereabouts of the Emperor.

“No more…”

Eunuch Yu felt a little regretful and glanced at the expressionless emperor.

It’s not his fault, he had already asked shamelessly, and it was the other party who had run out of it.

Seeing Eunuch Yu's regretful expression, Hongdou felt a little reluctant.

"My lady, Green Bean said we're going to make dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse tonight..."

"dumpling."

The Emperor and Eunuch Yu muttered at the same time.

Huang Ye wished she could sew Hongdou's mouth shut with a needle.

Doesn't she know that the shepherd's purse outside hasn't grown much yet?

She asked Manager Sun for help, and after a lot of effort, she was able to get just a little bit.

If the emperor goes there, there might not be enough food.

"It's...it's dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables..."

Huang Ye smiled apologetically towards the emperor.

"Well... the emperor's body is worth a ton of gold, so he wouldn't eat these wild vegetables, right?"

Huang Ye felt that since she had said this, if the emperor knew what was going on...

Unexpectedly, the emperor is really not a tactful person.

"I have never eaten wild vegetables in my life..."

Your Majesty, what do you mean...

He also wanted to try the flavor of the shepherd's purse dumplings.

"Well done."

Eunuch Yu applauded the emperor's shamelessness in his heart.

"Then the emperor is in for a treat. Our queen said that this shepherd's purse is the most delicious food in spring..."

Huang Ye looked at Hongdou's smug look speechlessly.

This pig teammate...

"Your Majesty, that... that shepherd's purse... that's what I say, but actually, it's a wild vegetable, and the taste is definitely not as good as the specially grown ones..."

Seeing Huang Ye's guilty description, the emperor smiled happily.

How can this yellow leaf be so cute?

"Let's go. I'll go to Ningyuxuan with you and try the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse that you mentioned. How unpalatable they are..."

The emperor stood up.

Hongdou was unhappy when she heard the emperor say that dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse were not tasty.

"Your Majesty, dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse are not bad to eat, and they are very fresh..."

Huang Ye pulled Hongdou behind him.

"I told you not to talk too much, but you are not allowed to complain if you don't have anything to eat tonight."

She threatened in a low voice.

Hongdou remembered it belatedly.

Indeed, the shepherd's purse that Eunuch Sun sent over was not much.

However, Hongdou is a loyal person.

Even if she had nothing to eat, she would not take back what she said.

Ningyuxuan.

When Huang Ye returned to Ningyuxuan, he realized that Hongdou was not the only one who was talkative.

I don’t know how the eldest prince told the emperor.

So when they returned to Ningyuxuan, the emperor was already sitting in the yard waiting for dinner.

Huang Ye hurried into the kitchenette.

She knew something bad was going to happen. How could such a small amount of shepherd's purse filling be enough for so many people?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When the Emperor came over just now, I knew that there wouldn't be enough dumplings for dinner..."

Green Bean comforted Huang Ye who looked anxious.

"I just chopped some more minced meat, enough for dinner."

“Good green beans.”

Huang Ye praised.

Green Bean was so happy to see Yellow Leaf praise him that his face was full of smiles.

"Madam Yang, we have to work harder. So many people are waiting."

Nanny Yang agreed and quickly kneaded the dough that had been in the basin again.
