Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 211 Xu Rou Invites the Emperor to Dinner

Qiyun Hall.

"I agree. What if I can't lose weight?" The emperor gritted his teeth. This girl is such a chatterbox. If she dares to lie to him, he will show him how he will deal with her.

"Then let's start from now." Huang Ye took out a small silver needle box from his purse with a smile. There was only one silver needle in it. It was rare that the emperor agreed on impulse, so he couldn't give up halfway.

Huang Ye asked Eunuch Ai to take out the liquor, disinfect the silver needle, and then gave the emperor acupuncture: "I am giving you acupuncture now to reduce your hunger. From now on, unless you are too hungry, don't eat snacks. In other words, except for three meals a day and fruits, don't eat any snacks."

Huang Ye looked at Eunuch Ai and said, "Eunuch, you will be the one to supervise him from now on. If the emperor cheats on me, tell me and I will punish him by not allowing him to eat for a day."

Eunuch Ai nodded vigorously, thinking that only Concubine Huang could control the retired emperor, so he must keep an eye on her. If she couldn't lose weight successfully this time, then there would be no hope for her.

"Little girl, who are you looking down on?" The emperor was unhappy: "Am I the one who eats secretly?" He always ate openly.

"Also, I hope you two can keep the fact that I know medicine a secret for me. I'm new in the harem... I don't want to get into trouble because of this." She already had a lot of trouble.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I promise that no one else will know about this except me and the Emperor." Eunuch Ai also knew that the harem was full of deep waters. If the fact that she could heal was exposed, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

Huang Ye finished the acupuncture and said, "Hongdou and I wanted to go for a walk in the grove next door just now. Now we have nothing to do, so please accompany us. But wait a moment, I will prepare the vegetables for Eunuch Ai before we leave."

Huang Ye returned to the small kitchen and called over the eunuch who was in charge of the fire. She asked him to watch how she cooked. She then cooked another vegetarian dish for Eunuch Ai to eat. She and Hongdou followed the emperor on his left and right and walked around the grove.

In fact, this grove was not big. Huang Ye felt that it was only the size of a football field. Unfortunately, the emperor had never walked such a long distance before. He was panting after every step. If he hadn't seen the two little girls walking as if nothing had happened, the emperor would have been embarrassed and almost quit. He was too tired and was sweating in the middle of winter.

By the time the retired emperor was sent to Qiyun Palace, it was already more than half an hour later. Eunuch Ai had come over to accompany the retired emperor after dinner. Huang Ye instructed Eunuch Ai to give the emperor a hot bath and then change his clothes, as this would be beneficial to the body's metabolism, and he should do this every day from now on.

Huang Ye returned to Ning Yuxuan in the afternoon. Aunt Fanghua looked at Huang Ye worriedly: "My queen, although the emperor is gentle, we should not move around too often. Be careful of that..."

Fanghua pointed in the direction of Kunning Palace and said, "That palace is not a tolerant one. She might suspect that you are using the retired emperor to deal with her. Your Majesty has just arrived, so you should be cautious." Fanghua has always been concerned about the matter of Madam Yu in the Eastern Palace. She was afraid that the Queen would use that trick against her own Majesty again.

"Don't worry, aunt. I know my limits." Huang Ye didn't actually think that this was a big deal. Isn't it normal for neighbors to visit each other? If the queen couldn't even tolerate this, it could only be said that she would not tolerate anything she did in the future. Instead of being afraid of this and that, it's better to let nature take its course and let things be as they should be.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, someone from Qiyun Palace just reported that the retired emperor walked around the grove nearby today and was sweating from exhaustion." Eunuch Yu reported to the emperor happily. He knew that the emperor was most concerned about the retired emperor's health.

"Oh." The emperor became interested: "When did father become so self-aware?"

"The emperor is not so self-conscious." Eunuch Yu also found it funny: "It was Huang Fei who lived in Ningyuxuan who persuaded the emperor to lose weight. I heard that Eunuch Ai was so excited that he almost cried."

"Princess Huang?" The emperor thought of those dark eyes. Although he didn't know what her purpose was, it was a great achievement to convince his father to lose weight. Let's see if she can really do it next.

At this time, a young eunuch poked his head in from the doorway. Eunuch Yu understood and walked out of the Yangxin Palace. He saw Xu Rou and Qiu Die waiting at the gate. Seeing Eunuch Yu coming out, Xu Rou glanced at the sky, looking down on these servants, and called out in a friendly manner, "Eunuch Yu."

Eunuch Yu got a headache whenever he saw her. He had dealt with her a lot when the emperor was still the crown prince. Every time Xu Rou pestered him, he was the one who had to deal with her. Now that she lives in the palace, he must be annoyed to death.

Eunuch Yu bowed perfunctorily: "I wonder what instructions Concubine Xu has for you?"

"I would like to hold a small banquet at Yingxiangxuan tonight to invite the emperor. I wonder if the emperor is free. Please help pass the message, Eunuch Yu. I would like to go in and ask the emperor in person." Xu Rou said politely.

Eunuch Yu thought to himself, "You are dreaming. It's strange that the emperor would see you." But he said, "The emperor has something to do tonight and has no time to go out for dinner. Your Majesty, please go back."

"Eunuch didn't ask the emperor, how do you know he won't go?" Xu Rou suppressed her temper and said, "Go ask the emperor. If he is really busy and can't come to my place, I won't blame you."

"Okay, then please wait, Your Majesty." Eunuch Yu knew Xu Rou's temper. It seemed that she would not leave without asking her. He was afraid that Xu Rou would barge in, so he winked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch understood and walked a few steps to the gate to guard it.

Xu Rou gnashed her teeth in hatred. This eunuch Yu had always been annoying since she was a child. She suspected that the reason why her cousin the emperor didn't see her was because of this eunuch Yu.

Seeing Eunuch Yu walking in with a bad look on his face, the Emperor was very curious: "What happened? Why do you look so bad?"

"Um..., Concubine Xu came over to ask in person. She said that she is inviting the emperor to dinner at Yingxiangxuan in the evening... and asked the emperor if you can pass..." Eunuch Yu's voice became smaller and smaller, because the emperor's face was visibly getting uglier and uglier.

"Old Yu, if you can't even handle these small matters, I think your career as the chief eunuch is over. How about changing someone else to do it?" The emperor's voice became much louder.
