Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 214 The Refreshed Emperor

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Eunuch Yu came back from the imperial kitchen and saw the emperor reading a memorial in his hand. There were some scattered memorials sent to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in the past few days, and the emperor had not been to the imperial study for several days.

"Have you passed the instructions?" the emperor asked him.

"Your Majesty, I have instructed the Imperial Kitchen to cook for the Retired Emperor according to Concubine Huang's recipe." He did not mention how happy the people who cooked for the Retired Emperor were. It was not easy for them either. Everyone knew that the Emperor had not allowed the Retired Emperor to eat much meat in recent years, and when the Retired Emperor saw that he was eating less meat, he asked Eunuch Ai to go to the Imperial Kitchen to ask for more, which made them very embarrassed. Now, with the recipe, they no longer had to worry about being bullied by both father and son.

"Xiao Yuzi, do you think that father can really lose weight...oh...lose weight, can he lose weight?" It was all because of that eunuch Ai, who kept talking about losing weight and led him astray.

"I think he can." According to that diet, the emperor would have to eat so much less every day. It would be strange if he couldn't lose weight.

"That's good. I was worried about father's health before. Now he's well. The imperial physician said that as long as he loses weight, it is not impossible for him to recover his health." Oops, he made a slip of the tongue and said lose weight instead of lose weight.

Eunuch Yu was laughing secretly, and the emperor noticed. He threw the memorial in his hand at him, but this time he didn't use much force, "Little Yu, you are getting bolder, aren't you?"

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Eunuch Yu did not hide and took the memorial: "That Huangpin is also capable. She is the only one who can persuade the emperor for so many years. I just heard from Eunuch Ai on the road that she painted a big pie for the emperor. The emperor said that he would go out to see the country left by his ancestors and taste the delicacies from all over the world in the future."

"You think this is a pie in the sky, don't you think it can come true?" the emperor asked him meaningfully.

Eunuch Yu suddenly came up with an idea: "It can be done. I think it can be done." He must have had his brain eaten by a dog to say that it was a pie in the sky painted by Concubine Huang for the retired emperor.

"Think before you speak next time." The emperor didn't care. It just depends on how long Concubine Huang can hold out. His father is not an obedient person, so there will be trouble in the future.

"Your Majesty, which concubine are you going to visit tonight?" Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Eunuch Yu felt that as a responsible eunuch chief, he had to remind the emperor to think it over sooner rather than later.

The emperor's face darkened. Old Yu, why is he talking about things that are not relevant? Hasn't it been seen that he doesn't want to go anywhere?

When Eunuch Yu saw that something was not right, he immediately made an excuse to go out and see if the food from the imperial kitchen had been delivered, and ran out quickly. The emperor did the same. Was this a problem that he could avoid? The emperor didn't say it, but he was worried. The empress dowager was not worried. In her heart, if a child was not born by Xu Rou, it was not considered the emperor's legitimate child.

Just as Eunuch Yu thought, the emperor still rested in the Yangxin Palace that night and did not go anywhere. As for Huang Ye, after having dinner with the retired emperor, she accompanied him for a walk around the grove. The retired emperor was not happy at first, but he did not want to back out on the first day of losing weight and make a fool of himself, so he had to bite the bullet and insist on walking another circle. As expected, he broke out in a sweat again.

After the emperor finished his bath and lay on the bed, he no longer clamored to read his notebook and fell asleep directly. In the past, he would always wake up several times at night due to difficulty breathing due to obesity, and had to get up several times at night. But that night was strange. Not only did he not wake up, but he also didn't get up at night, which made Eunuch Ai very worried. He didn't sleep well all night. He got up several times to check his breathing, and was relieved until he woke up in the morning.

"Old Ai, why do I feel like I've lost weight?" The emperor had a good rest last night. He woke up refreshed in the morning and felt much more relaxed than before.

"It seems like you've lost weight." Eunuch Ai said against his conscience. You're such a fat guy, it wouldn't be noticeable even if you lost a pound or two. But it's rare that the emperor is so energetic, so he has to encourage him.

"Okay, okay, that little girl from the Huang family is quite capable. After breakfast, you will accompany me to take a walk in the woods. The child still has to pay her respects to the Queen, and she may not be back for sure." The retired emperor has been in the palace for so many years, and he knows a little about the twists and turns in the harem. Anyone can see that the Queen is thinking about that child.

"If you can help that kid in the future, help him. He's a good kid."

Although the retired emperor felt that he was not a smart man, he had been sitting on the throne for so many years and had basic vision for people. He could still tell whether someone really cared about him or wanted to curry favor with him and use him. The girl from the Huang family had clear eyes and did not have a trace of calculation. She really regarded him as an elder. The old man Huang Congmin was a good educator and had taught the child very well.

"Even if the emperor doesn't say it, I will help." Eunuch Ai said. If anyone dares to touch Concubine Huang at this time, he, Ai, will be the first to disapprove. Can't you see that the emperor's mental state is much better today? It's all thanks to Concubine Huang.

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye got up early in the morning. As he and Hongdou had been practicing martial arts for many years, getting up early in the morning had become a habit for them. So after washing up, the two of them prepared to go to Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, I saw Qiu Die seemed very weak yesterday. Did Xu Rou torture her again?" Hongdou remembered and said to Huang Ye.

"Xu Rou has just entered the palace, so she probably won't do anything. But she doesn't care about other people's feelings. Maybe she's hungry because she didn't eat."

Huang Ye walked back into the house, took a few of the homemade fasting pills she brought in, wrapped them up and handed them to Hongdou: "Find a chance to give this to Qiu Die and tell her to hide it so that Xu Rou doesn't find out. If you're really too hungry to bear it, take one pill and it will last you a day."
