Chapter 168
Squeezing out a smile, Hao Chi said in the most gentle voice: "Queen Mother, you really misunderstood. I didn't go out of the palace privately, but the emperor sent me out. As for the restaurant, the emperor also suffered from the locust plague for relief. It was opened by the people. I just help His Majesty take care of it."

So when the queen mother asked who gave her the courage, she answered the word "emperor".As a result, the queen mother misunderstood.

Seeing Hao Chi's eloquent words, the queen mother also understood the meaning of the two words she replied just now, but she became even more angry.

You are a concubine, answering the Ai family's question, if you don't speak clearly, just use two words to pass it off, you really owe a lesson!
So the queen mother's tone was full of disgust, "You are a girl, what can you do to help!"

The corner of Hao Chi's mouth twitched, aren't you a womanizer, why are you slandering female compatriots!Don't you know women hold up half the sky? !

But seeing the empress dowager's livid face, Hao Chi obediently didn't continue to stroke the tiger's beard this time, but smiled sweetly and said, "You forgot, empress dowager, I can cook! So I helped the restaurant draw up the plan. I ordered the menu, and even gave them advice. The business was booming on the first day of opening yesterday, and the line waiting for the meal lined up on the street!"

She never mentioned the matter of the plaque bestowed by the emperor, and automatically ignored the matter of the emperor helping her "advertise" in the court hall.Very generously took all the credit for himself.

Otherwise, how could the queen mother trust her, and she must find a chance to get her back!
The small calculations in Hao Chi's heart were crackling, but the Queen Mother was not so easy to fool.

She glanced suspiciously at Hao Chi, "Is the restaurant's business really that good?"

Although she is in the deep palace, the queen mother is not an uninformed person.She had a deep understanding of folk life before entering the palace, and she often paid attention to it in the palace these years.

Therefore, the Queen Mother knows that there are many restaurants in the capital, each with its own signature dishes and specialties. It must be difficult to manage a new restaurant well.

Hao Chi said that her business was booming on the first day she opened the business, the Queen Mother naturally didn't believe it, thinking she was talking nonsense.

Hao Chi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can go out to the palace with me tomorrow to have a look, and then taste the delicious food there, and then you will know that what I said is true. .”

The queen mother's heart moved when she heard the words, and then a huge desire couldn't be restrained no matter what.

Leaving the palace?Tasting food?
Everything is what she has been longing for all this time, and when Hao Chi proposed it in this way, the Queen Mother's heart set off a huge wave.
These years, in order to be a virtuous queen praised by everyone, and later to be a high-ranking queen mother, she desperately suppressed her temperament and worked hard to live a life that others envied.However, she couldn't even have any selfish desires.

Going out of the palace, looking at the bustling market like an ordinary person, and tasting all kinds of delicacies, this is a longing that the Empress Dowager Hu Yannan has always suppressed deep in her heart.

Now, being hooked out by Hao Chi so unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was at a loss for a moment.

As for the three concubines, their complexions also changed, and they looked at Hao Chi with burning eyes.
