Chapter 377 Dumplings with a Secret
Qianqing Palace.
"It would be better to send mother to the Cining Palace, where it is quieter. Xupin, you can go with her to take care of her."
The emperor said as he supported the empress dowager who still had her eyes closed.
Xu Rou feels very unbalanced.
There are so many people present, why should she be asked to serve her aunt?
My aunt was obviously pretending to faint.
But no matter how stupid Xu Rou was, she only dared to talk about this in her heart.
She didn't dare to disobey the emperor's wishes.
So she had no choice but to bow to the emperor in a delicate manner and reluctantly followed the empress dowager.
Seeing the Queen Mother being carried away, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what the arrogant little Prince Fu said to the Empress Dowager, this matter cannot be dragged on forever.
It’s good that the Queen Mother fainted. If she faints, everyone will be better off.
Haven’t you seen the young Prince Fu confront the Empress Dowager in that way? Not only did the Emperor Emeritus help him.
Even the emperor didn't say anything harsh, did he?
Now that the Empress Dowager had been carried away, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed.
People began to gather in groups of three or four and talk again.
The old man who suggested having another bowl at noon was not satisfied at this time.
"Your Majesty, it's already this late, why hasn't the banquet started yet?"
He came here tonight just for the new style of dumpling soup.
He has already made up his mind that he will eat three big bowls of glutinous rice dumpling soup tonight.
You said there is only one bowl per person?
Then won’t he ask for two more bowls?
As the emperor's uncle, what's wrong with eating two more bowls?
As a member of the royal family, can’t you get some special treatment?
"I was negligent."
The emperor smiled apologetically at the cousin and told Eunuch Yu to serve the banquet.
He thought that this cousin was also an impatient person.
The Queen Mother had just been carried out, and he was in a hurry to announce the start of the banquet. Wouldn't others question his filial piety?
Looking at the bowls of delicious food served by the palace servants...
That cousin...King Yi, he didn't even pick up the chopsticks.
"Uncle Yi Wang, aren't you hungry? You were urging us to have the feast started just now?"
Seeing that Prince Yi at the next table neither ate nor drank, Prince Fu asked curiously.
"You little bastard..."
King Yi felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
"I'm not hungry now, do you have any problem with that?"
"No problem... nephew, no problem, please wait patiently..."
Little Prince Fu smiled secretly, Uncle Prince Yi was still waiting to eat the wontons.
He is such a lovely old foodie.
Speaking of Prince Yi, he was just like the Grand Princess and was a staunch supporter of the Emperor's accession to the throne.
Therefore, the emperor, the retired emperor, and all the princes were very close to him.
Since becoming a widow, the eldest princess has rarely attended court gatherings.
This King Yi is different. He loves lively parties, drinking, and especially occasions with delicious food and drinks.
King Yi, who was holding his chopsticks absent-mindedly, finally waited for the dumpling soup he had been longing for.
But, tonight's dumpling soup...
It’s still the same dumpling soup as before.
The new style of dumpling soup he had been dreaming about was no longer available...
Seeing Concubine Du coming in with the palace maids who were serving the dumpling soup, Prince Yi couldn't help himself.
"Du Fei, why is the new style of dumpling soup gone?"
He missed out on so many good things just because of the dumpling soup.
Although the people present did not agree with Prince Yi's words, they looked at Concubine Du with condemnation.
"Well... don't worry, I'll serve you a fresh food called dumplings in a moment."
When they heard that there were dumplings to eat, Prince Fu and the others, including the emperor and the emperor emeritus, all put down their chopsticks at the same time.
They now regretted drinking and eating.
What if the dumplings are served and they can’t fill their stomachs?
“What are dumplings?”
King Yi asked blankly.
“Dumplings are also a kind of food.”
Du Fei explained.
"Those dumplings and the new style of dumpling soup you had at noon were all invented by Concubine Ye who lives in Ningyuxuan."
If Concubine Du doesn't help Concubine Ye to gain favor now, then when will she help?
"Then why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and get on with it."
King Yi was very anxious. If the dumplings were not delicious, he would suffer a great loss tonight.
Concubine Du quickly gave orders, asking someone to prepare the dumplings and serve them as soon as possible.
At this time, King Yi discovered an interesting phenomenon, which is...
No one was eating at the tables around him.
Even the Prince of Fu, who kept talking, seemed absent-minded.
"Why don't you eat?"
he asked strangely.
"Uncle Yi Wang, I ate too much just now. I regret it."
Little Prince Fu had a sad face.
"What are you regretting? Why don't you just stop eating if you've eaten too much?"
King Yi was puzzled.
"You'll find out soon."
Little Prince Fu sighed.
His uncle, Prince Yi, is truly far-sighted.
No wonder his uncle the Emperor always said that his uncle, Prince Yi, had great potential.
At this time, bowls of dumplings were served.
And in the entire hall of the Qianqing Palace, no more voices could be heard.
Everyone was busy eating dumplings.
"one more bowl."
King Yi shouted with great pride.
"Uncle Yi Wang, you've already eaten three bowls."
The third prince reminded him seriously.
If everyone eats like his uncle Prince Yi, what will happen if the imperial kitchen doesn't have enough dumplings?
"It's such a small bowl. Let alone three bowls, even if there are three more, I can still finish it."
King Yi had no idea what the Third Prince meant.
He has only one thought in his mind now.
That is, you must eat enough tonight. Eating one bite less will be a huge loss.
Other people in the hall also spoke up to support King Yi.
"I can still eat three bowls."
"Me too, I can eat even four bowls."
Although the female guest didn't say it so bluntly.
But this small bowl is obviously not enough.
Huang Ye knew that these dumplings would be so popular, so the imperial kitchen prepared plenty of dumplings.
"Don't worry, everyone. We have as many dumplings as you want tonight."
Huang Ye stood up to comfort the people in the hall.
"Ye Jieyu, how did you come up with the idea of making such delicious dumplings?"
An elderly woman asked.
"This is what I researched when I was in the mansion."
The yellow leaves are a little shy.
"At that time, I thought that my grandparents were old and had no appetite, so I always tried to make some food to make them happy."
"Ye Jieyu is a filial daughter."
The old woman praised.
"The dumplings that will be served later will have a secret."
The yellow leaves are confusing.
"Ye Jieyu, what's the secret behind eating dumplings?"
The third prince couldn't help but ask.
There is a mystery, how come he doesn't know it?
Little Prince Fu rolled his eyes at him.
This glutton only knows how to eat. Doesn’t he see that this is the time to gain popularity for Ye Jieyu?
So many people have eaten the dumplings developed by Ye Jieyu, and they can't help but praise her when they go out.
and also…
This is because of the food she researched out of her filial piety, which adds a lot of points to her.
Finally, this batch of dumplings with a mysterious secret was served.
The third prince picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and looked at it from left to right.
The dumplings are still the same dumplings.
Where is the mystery?
