The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 63 The Concubine Has Prepared a Strategy

Yingyun dragged Anai to work in the small kitchen all morning, and only made four or five small dishes.Anai secretly sighed, the empress is too stingy, she hides delicacies and refuses to take them out, so she just eats these vegetarian dishes with the emperor?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yingyun went to the dormitory to wait for the holy driver.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor arrived as promised, strode into the bedroom, and sat down as if he knew the way.

Yingyun dismissed all the people in the room, and said flatteringly: "The emperor is invited to come, and the concubine is very flattered."

The emperor snorted and said, "Isn't the queen still angry with me? Why did you invite me to have a meal today?"

"The concubine was petty before, your majesty has a lot of people, surely you won't care about the concubine, right?" Yingyun said to Anai, "Hurry up, the food is served!"

"Yes."

The side dishes were all ready-made, Anai ordered the maids to bring them up, and placed them in front of the emperor one by one, and then they all retreated.

The emperor glanced at the scattered plates of meals on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Is this what the empress invites me to eat?"

Yingyun nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, your majesty, don't think these foods are unremarkable, but they are actually very particular about them!"

The emperor became a little interested and asked, "Empress, tell me, what are these things?"

Yingyun pointed to a plate of steamed buns in front of him, and said: "This is an authentic Shandong steamed bun, served with assorted side dishes cut by my concubine, um, that taste... Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"

"Shandong noodles steamed buns?" The emperor looked at her with a grin, but without moving his chopsticks, he looked at another dish and said, "What is this?"

Yingyun smiled and said: "Hangzhou scallion buns, special snacks, crispy and delicious, especially the sweet noodle sauce inside..."

"Is it made by the queen herself again?" The emperor interrupted her.

Yingyun laughed and said: "That's not true, it was prepared in the concubine's small dining room, but the concubine has tasted it, the taste is superb!"

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

Yingyun praised: "Your Majesty, you are really insightful and knowledgeable."

The emperor saw her flattery, and said, "The empress has put all the delicacies along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in front of me. What the empress wants to say, just say it."

"The emperor is happy, and the concubine will not be around anymore." Yingyun smiled, looked at him eagerly, 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, without words.

Yingyun continued to swim and said: "Your Majesty, think about it. You must go all the way out of the palace to play, and you must have a good time. The concubine is not talented, but he has also prepared a tour guide for the emperor. Jiangning Qinhuai River, Yangzhou Slender West Lake , all courtiers and concubines can be the emperor's guide."

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

"Uh……"

Yingyun had forgotten that women in ancient times did not leave the door and did not enter the second door. Such rare treasures like her really aroused suspicion.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. The courtiers and concubines read it from the books, but they are talking about wars on paper. Therefore, your majesty, you should take the courtiers and concubines to open their eyes."

The corner of the emperor's mouth slightly raised, Yingyun thought it was time for him to let go, and waited happily for his reply.

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