Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 902 Three Thousand Beauties
Oh, it turned out to be such a thing.Chu Yun was secretly observing Aila's every move just now, and seeing her reaction, he already knew everything in his heart.

No wonder she reacted abnormally recently, she was often absent-minded, and she even dressed up specially for this family dinner.

It turned out that it was just pure jealousy.

Is it because of Ling'er, or is it because Princess Sophia's personality is so similar to her that she has the illusion of being replaced?
After Chu Yun understood, he didn't want to tell the truth.

It was rare to see Ella, who was always submissive to him, jealous, Chu Yun suddenly found it very interesting.

Not only did he not tell the truth, he also wanted to see her next reaction.

"Ahem, yes, since ancient times, the kings in the East have loved their concubines a lot. There is a poet in the East who said this - there are 3000 beauties in the harem, and thousands of people love them all." Chu Yun pretended to be serious, while reading Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", while secretly observing Ella's reaction.

3000 people... Ella was startled, there must be too many women in the army.If there are three thousand concubines, I will be forgotten to nowhere... Thinking of this, Ella's eyes turned red.

"3000 people!" Princess Sophia was shocked.

"Of course it's an exaggeration. Three thousand is just an adjective." Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Yun hurried back for fear of making Ella cry on the spot.

"So it's just an exaggeration..." Princess Sophia thought that the king of the East was so powerful that he could control three thousand beauties... Bah, what was I thinking.Princess Sofia is ashamed of herself.

Three thousand beauties, three thousand women... All three thousand beauties echoed in Ella's head. She didn't hear Chu Yun's explanation later, and there was a tendency to shut down.

"Are you okay?" Chu Yun realized that her joke was a bit too much. With her loyal character, she would definitely think what he said was true, so she asked in a low voice.

"It's okay..." Aila was woken up by Chu Yun, and found that she was still on the dining table. She must not lose face to the military leader.

Aila's eyes were a little determined, three thousand women were three thousand women, at least she and the military leader gave birth to Ling'er, and she was able to work for the military leader in the intelligence department.Even if you are left out in the cold, as long as you can still see the military master...

Why does it feel like she's sinking deeper and deeper...

Chu Yun regretted that he shouldn't have done this for a moment's bad taste, and now it's hard to resolve this matter in front of the members of the royal envoy.But now that I know her knot, I just need to comfort her after the dinner is over.

Li Jinde, who was able to understand this matter best, did not know what happened because he could not understand the conversation between Chu Yun and the envoys.

Princess Sophia didn't care at all that she would irritate Ella by asking her unintentionally, but Sir Greenville and Selina were smart people who knew what to say and what not to say. Seeing that something was wrong, they just pretended nothing happened .

What kind of stupid question is Her Royal Highness asking!Have you ever asked the hostess if she is the real wife in front of the host?Sir Greenville complained bitterly.

"Master of the East, how many concubines do you have?" Princess Sophia still didn't know which pot to open.

"Your Highness, pay attention to the privacy of the master." Sir Greenville had to take the initiative to remind the princess.

"I just want to ask, my brother married a French princess, but in private..." Princess Sophia muttered.

"Ahem! Your Royal Highness!" Seeing that Princess Sophia was going to reveal some secrets about the British royal family, Sir Greenville quickly stopped Princess Sophia's actions.

Chu Yun also had some headaches. Princess Sophia seemed to have no scruples about these topics. If she knew the truth about Charles I, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing for her to cooperate in the future.

"Serve the food!" Yu Cheng, the guard at the side, saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and came out ahead of time to call for the kitchen to serve the food.

"My lord, why is it faster than expected?" asked the busy chef in the big kitchen.

"Something happened, you should speed up as soon as possible, and deliver the appetizers when they are ready." Yu Cheng said.

Soon the appetizers were served, including cold dishes, hot dishes, and dishes from ten different regions. The delicious dishes quickly attracted the attention of the members of the diplomatic mission.In addition to the appetizers, there is also Cantonese old fire soup, which surprised Princess Sofia.

"Oven-roasted duck." The chef in Beijing brought up the roasted duck that had been sliced.

"Delicious..." Princess Sophia put a piece of roasted duck into her mouth with a fork. It was crispy and delicious, and the meat was tender.

"Mapo tofu."

"Boiled fish."

Dishes are served one after another, and dishes from all over the world are served, which makes people look appetizing.

"These two dishes are very spicy, you have to be careful." Chu Yun pointed to the two dishes brought by the Sichuan chef.

However, when Chu Yun reminded, Princess Sophia had already swallowed a spoonful of mapo tofu.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Princess Sophia choked on the pepper, tearing up, "Water, water!"

Princess Sophia gulped down the tea that was at hand, but it didn't relieve her in the slightest.

"Here is a glass of milk, which can relieve the spiciness a little." Chu Yun sent the prepared milk to Princess Sofia.

"It's too spicy!" Princess Sophia stuck out her tongue, unable to stand the spicy taste.

"Your Highness, pay attention to etiquette," Sir Greenville reminded.

"I think this dish is okay, and the spiciness is just right." Selina's reaction was different from Princess Sofia's, and she seemed to have a soft spot for Sichuan cuisine.

It seems that there are still relatively large differences between individuals.Chu Yun found that Selina could already use chopsticks quite skillfully, while the princess and Sir Greenville were still using knives and forks.

"This is Xi'an gourd chicken."

“Jiaodong Braised Prawns in Braised Sauce.”

Apart from being unable to stand the spicy taste of Sichuan cuisine, Princess Sophia still enjoys dishes from other places, but she is also surprised that a civilization can have dishes with very different styles, and the tastes are also very different.

"I feel that even if I live here for a lifetime, I can't eat all the Chinese dishes." Princess Sophia said.

"Don't talk about eating all the Chinese dishes. Even if you live in a city for decades, you may not be able to eat all the local dishes." Chu Yun said.

"Hmm." Princess Sofia nodded repeatedly.

After the main course, exquisite desserts were served, such as sugar-steamed custard, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which Princess Sofia and others had never seen before, and they were amazed again and again.

"I don't know what the main purpose of the royal envoy's visit is?" Chu Yun asked at this moment.

Come to the topic!Sir Greenville put down his knife and fork.This time he came to China not only to find out about the mysterious East, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the British royal family to do business with China.

Convincing Chu Yun to choose to cooperate with the British royal family is not an easy task.
