Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 276 Everyone is fighting with the prince for the tree house

Ningyuxuan.

"It's like this..." Huang Ye showed Lord Yin her design drawings. Huang Ye's design concept was simplicity and elegance, and Lord Yin understood it as soon as he heard it.

"Look at those trees." Huang Ye led Lord Yin to the gate and pointed to a few big trees in the grove. "It's those trees. I've already measured them to build a tree house there. I just need to find a kind of wood that can withstand wind and sun. Make it according to the size marked on the drawing just now, and then just go up and install it."

Lord Yin looked at Huang Ye in surprise: "Did Concubine Huang go up to measure it herself?"

Huang Ye felt that Lord Yin was also a talented person, so where had the focus gone?

"Oh, I asked Xiao Xiangzi to go up and measure it, and I wrote it down below." Huang Ye certainly couldn't tell him the truth. Those were the trees she and Hongdou discovered while secretly practicing martial arts in the grove every morning, and then they climbed up to measure them.

"Empress, the wontons are ready. Let's eat them while they're hot." At An Ning's strong request, the Ningyuxuan kitchen made wontons again this morning. However, An Ning couldn't wait for Huang Ye to come back, so she asked Lu Dou to make them for her in advance. She brought them to Qiyun Palace to eat with her father.

Huang Ye, who had already sat back at the table, quickly put away the drawing and handed it to Lord Yin for him to look at. Hongdou put the wontons on the table. Lord Yin rubbed his eyes. What kind of food is this? It looks like pasta. Why haven't he seen it before?

"This is wonton, a kind of pasta made in the small kitchen. Would you like to try it, Lord Yin..." Huang Ye saw Lord Yin staring at her bowl and hurriedly explained to him that she was just asking him to try it out of politeness. Lord Yin must have had breakfast if he came here at this time.

"This wonton..." Lord Yin wanted to say thank you. He had already had breakfast, but his mouth had its own thoughts and what he said was completely different from what he thought: "Thank you, Concubine Huang. I... also want to try the flavor of this wonton." The key point is that this wonton looks delicious.

Hongdou went to the kitchen unhappily and brought out another bowl, and placed it in front of Lord Yin. This was originally her portion, and she was waiting to eat it with the young lady later. This Lord Yin was really... He was such a high-ranking official, but he didn't even let go of a bite of food.

Lord Yin felt that the wontons were worthy of being a palace delicacy. He didn't understand how this simple noodle dish could be so delicious. It was so delicious that he felt that even if he was given another big bowl, he would be able to finish it.

Looking at the empty soup bowl in front of him, Lord Yin began to doubt his life. Logically... he was not a greedy person, so how could he... eat so much at once, and it seemed... as if he was still a little unsatisfied?

After Hongdou cleared away the bowl, Huang Ye began to explain to Lord Yin how the blueprint was drawn. These design concepts were what she had learned in her previous life because of her interest in mortise and tenon design. Of course, they were much more advanced than those of this dynasty. Lord Yin looked like a pragmatic person, so she didn't mind passing on this knowledge to him.

"Empress Huang is amazing." Lord Yin praised sincerely as he left: "I wonder if I can ask the Empress for advice if I have any questions in the future?"

"As long as it's something I know, you can come and ask me at any time." Huang Ye agreed readily.

The construction department acted quickly. Within a few days, the panels for the tree house had been completed and transported to the base of the trees for installation.

Huang Ye was personally directing the installation, and in less than a day, the prince's tree house was installed. All that was left was to paint the boards twice with tung oil. This tung oil was a must because the tree house not only had to withstand wind and rain, but also had to prevent being eaten by insects and ants in the woods.

"Prince, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Huang Ye stood in front of the tree house holding the prince and asked the prince in his arms.

The prince jumped out of Huang Ye's arms and pounced up from the lowest step of the stairs. There was no way he could go up step by step like a human being.

At this time, the emperor heard that the tree house had been installed and rushed over. He was impatient to look at the drawings, and the key was that he couldn't understand them. He just heard Eunuch Ai who had come back from looking at the tree house say that the tree house was beautiful, so he came to see what the tree house looked like.

"It's really beautiful." An Ning, who came with the emperor, couldn't help but praise: "Huangpin, you are amazing. How did you come up with the idea of ​​building such a tree house? I want to live in it..."

The prince suddenly flew down from the tree house above and pecked An Ning's leg: This is his, a reward from the master. This princess is so annoying, she still wants to covet his tree house. This peck is his warning. If you say it again, he will not be polite.

Huang Ye found the embarrassed An Ning funny. She picked up the prince and said, "The prince is angry. This is his house. He doesn't like to hear that others want to live in his house. Let's go up and take a look."

An Ning was also a bold person, and she quickly followed Huang Ye to climb up. It was a long staircase that went around several trees before they reached the tree house on the top of the tree. The emperor had already climbed up while they were talking, and was sitting on a square terrace in front of the tree house to enjoy the scenery.

"Princess Huang, please build another one for the prince. This tree house is for me." The retired emperor was extremely satisfied with the tree house. He had just gone into the house to have a look. The house was very spacious and had movable windows. It would be no problem for one person to sleep in it. Just thinking about it, he felt very comfortable sitting on the terrace in front on a cool night, enjoying the night breeze and drinking a little wine.

The prince pounced angrily and pecked the emperor's leg. This time he was not polite. The emperor howled in pain: "Prince, what are you doing..."

Seeing that the prince was about to take a second bite, Huang Ye quickly picked him up and held him down: "The prince is unhappy. The princess also said just now that she wanted to live in this tree house." She was afraid that the emperor was really angry, so she quickly explained.

The emperor touched the big lump on his leg that was visible even through his cotton pants: "Prince, you little ungrateful bastard...Okay, I won't fight with it for this one. You build me another one exactly the same near the Qiyun Palace, otherwise I won't agree..."

"Okay, okay..." Huang Ye knew very well the retired emperor's little thoughts. This tree house was too close to Ning Yuxuan. Sitting on the terrace of the tree house, one could have a clear view of Ning Yuxuan. It was really not suitable for the retired emperor to live there. The reason why he said that just now was just a roundabout way of asking her to build another tree house for him near Qiyun Palace.

"Then it's settled." The emperor was happy: "You know what's wrong with your brain? How come you have so many new ideas? That unfilial son is really lucky to marry you."

Huang Ye curled her lips: The retired emperor is really talking nonsense. He even said that the emperor married her. She is a concubine, just a concubine of the emperor.
