Yingyun took Anai to work in the small kitchen all morning, and only then did she prepare four or five dishes of side dishes. Anai secretly sighed, the queen is too stingy, hiding delicacies and refusing to take them out, so she eats these vegetarian foods with the emperor?

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Yingyun went to the dormitory to wait for the holy car.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor arrived as promised, strode into the dormitory, and sat down as if he was familiar with the door.

Yingyun sent everyone in the room down, and said, "The emperor can be invited to come, and the concubine is flattered." ”

The emperor snorted and said, "Isn't the empress still angry? Why did you invite me to dinner today? ”

"The concubines were small and childish before, and the emperor has a lot of adults, so you definitely won't worry about the concubines, right?" Yingyun said as she said to Anais, "Soon, it's time to serve!" ”

"Yes."

The side dishes were all ready-made, and Anai instructed the palace ladies to bring them up, and placed them in front of the emperor one by one, and then they all withdrew.

The emperor glanced at the few plates of meals on the table, and said with a wry smile: "The queen will invite me to eat these?" ”

Yingyun nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, don't look at these inconspicuous foods, but they are actually a bit exquisite!" ”

The emperor became a little interested and asked, "Tell me, what is this?" ”

Ying Yun pointed to a plate of steamed buns in front of him and said, "This is an authentic Shandong steamed bun, with assorted side dishes cut by the concubine herself, well, that taste...... Your Majesty, can you try it? ”

"Shandong noodles steamed buns?" The emperor looked at her with a smile, did not move his chopsticks, looked at another dish, and said, "What is this?" ”

Ying Yun sneered and said: "Hangzhou green onion stew, special snacks, crispy and delicious, especially the sweet noodle sauce in it......"

"The queen made it again?" The Emperor interrupted her.

Ying Yun said with a smile: "That's not it, it's prepared in the concubine's dining room, but the concubine has tasted it, and it tastes superb!" ”

"Shandong? Hangzhou? The emperor already knew what she meant, and pointed to the soup and said, "I guess, this should be Jiangning duck blood vermicelli soup." ”

Ying Yun praised: "Your Majesty, you are really discerning and well-informed." ”

The emperor looked at her flattering and flattering appearance, and said: "The queen has put all the delicacies along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in front of me, what the queen wants to say, just say it." ”

"The emperor is happy, and the concubines won't go around the corner," Ying Yun smiled, looked at him bably, and said, "The concubine heard that the emperor is going to tour the south next month, can you bring the concubine?" ”

The Emperor looked at her noncommittally and said nothing.

Yingyun continued to say: "Your Majesty, if you want to, you will definitely have a good time when you go out of the palace to play." The concubines are not talented, but they have also done a good job for the emperor to patrol the strategy, Jiangning Qinhuai River, Yangzhou Slender West Lake, and the concubines can be the emperor's guides. ”

The emperor looked at her suspiciously and said, "The queen has never been out of the capital, but she is very familiar with the local characteristics?" ”

"Uh......"

Yingyun forgot that the ancient women's door did not go out, and the second door did not step, and it was indeed suspicious to be like her.

She thought for a while before she said, "Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles." The concubines are all seen in books, but they are actually on paper, so the emperor, you will take the concubines to open your eyes. ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth rose slightly, and Yingyun thought it was time for him to let go, and waited for his reply with joy.

Who knows, the emperor said jokingly: "No, the queen should stay in the palace." ”
