The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 40

Yingyun went all the way to the door of the Kaijin building, only to find the emperor following her, she quickly stopped with a smile, bowed to welcome him in, and said: "It was too dark just now, my concubine helped the emperor open the way."

The emperor snorted, and the words sounded nice, so shouldn't he still thank her?
Yingyun said with a playful smile, "The emperor invites you."

The emperor gave her a sideways glance, and strode in, followed by Yingyun.

There was a table full of royal meals in the Kaijin building, and the emperor and empress alone would not be able to finish them in ten days, which is too wasteful.

Before Yingyun had a meal with the queen mother, she already felt that it was extravagant, and the emperor's imperial meal was even worse.

The serving eunuch opened the golden lacquer plates one by one while passing the meals: "One piece of stewed swallow in Wannianqing wine hot pot, one piece of roasted venison, one piece of steamed fat chicken, one piece of steamed buns rolled with bamboo knots, one piece of New Year cake, one piece of enamel sunflower box side dishes Four products..."

Yingyun looked dazzled, moved her index finger, and took a sneak peek at the emperor, sitting solemnly without saying a word, so she was too embarrassed to move her chopsticks first.

There is a set of special rules for the emperor's meals. As the saying goes, don't talk when you eat or sleep. Everything depends on whether the eunuch serving the meal is smart and can understand the emperor's eyes.

Whichever dish the emperor's eyes rested on, the eunuch serving food would put a piece on his plate, and the cycle went on and on, and the meal was tasteless.

Yingyun was very interested at first, but after eating for a while, she felt that eating like this was like being tortured, and she couldn't help frowning.

"That..." Ying Yun hesitated, but spoke anyway.

The emperor cast a sidelong glance at her.

Yingyun hurriedly said: "The concubine knows that you can't talk during the meal, but the concubine can only say one thing, it's really uncomfortable not to say."

The emperor put down his chopsticks, waved his hands, and said, "What? The food doesn't meet your liking?"

"No, no," Yingyun smiled sheepishly, and said, "The concubine wants to say, can the concubine take these vegetables back to her bedroom to eat?"

The emperor's face turned blue, and said: "There are so many people sharing the meal with me, you are the first one to pack, are you so impatient to accompany me?"

Yingyun gave it all up, and said: "I feel that you have to eat to your heart's content, enjoy your meal, and talk and laugh happily, so that you can have a good taste. If you say that you have to be careful when eating, and you don't even dare to make the sound of chopsticks colliding, then What's the point of eating?"

The emperor looked at her with a gloomy expression. Indeed, what she said was not unreasonable, but since he ascended the throne as the emperor, there were rules in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Sometimes, he also felt very depressed.

Seeing that he was silent, Yingyun showed a smiling face and said, "Your Majesty, that... can I pack it?"

The emperor lost his appetite in an instant, and said to Li Yu, "Let's reward these dishes to the queen."

"Whoo."

Li Yu summoned three or four eunuchs to come in and stand beside Yingyun, waiting for orders.

Yingyun immediately felt relieved, pointed to the dishes on the dining table, and said, "Eunuch Li, this one... this one... and that one..."

Li Yu and the others were busy back and forth at the dining table, the emperor shook his head and sighed faintly when he saw her tossing about.

After Yingyun selected the dishes, she ordered Li Yu to send them to her bedroom, and then she got up to say goodbye to the emperor: "The concubine thanks the emperor for the reward, the concubine will not disturb the emperor's meal, and the concubine will leave."

The emperor glanced at the empty dining table, but she cleaned it up!
