Chapter 219 The steamed meat in the imperial kitchen is not as delicious as the roasted rabbit
"Your Majesty, I didn't find a chance to talk to Qiu Die today, but I winked at her and she will find a chance to meet me in the next two days." Hongdou reported to Huang Ye.
"Well, put the thing on you and give it to her when you have the chance." If it weren't for Qiu Die, the killer might have succeeded that night. Huang Ye is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. From now on in the harem, Qiu Die will be the one she protects.
The young eunuch guarding the gate of Qiyun Palace saw the two people coming but did not go in to report and let them go in directly. Eunuch Ai said that if these little bastards dared to offend Concubine Huang, he would tear them into eight pieces with his own hands. It was too scary.
The retired emperor had just returned from the grove with Eunuch Ai and was sitting at the table catching his breath. When he saw her come in, no, to be exact, when he saw the prince held by Huang Ye come in, his eyes widened.
"This...this..." The retired emperor was so excited that he was incoherent. When he first ascended the throne, the leader of a tribe on the northern grassland came to congratulate him and gave him a golden eagle. He cherished it very much at the time and raised it like a treasure. Unfortunately, for some reason, the eagle refused to eat or drink after those people left. He was afraid that the eagle would starve to death, so he had to bear the pain and let it fly away. He didn't expect that after so many years, he could still see a living golden eagle.
Eunuch Ai was also excited. He also liked the golden eagle very much back then: "Your Majesty, it's a golden eagle. It looks even bigger than the one back then..."
Huang Ye held the prince to pay his respects to the emperor. The emperor came over and looked at the prince cautiously: "Is this golden eagle yours?" he asked.
"I rescued it when I was practicing in the nunnery. It nearly fell to its death then. We have been dependent on each other ever since and have never been separated for all these years." Huang Ye emphasized that she was afraid that one day someone would do something bad to the prince. Seeing the emperor emeritus' excitement at the prince's reaction, she made a temporary decision to let the prince hold onto the emperor emeritus' thigh tightly. In this palace, even the empress dowager and the emperor did not dare to disobey the emperor emeritus too much.
"Can I hug it?" The emperor discussed with Huang Ye. In the past, the golden eagle was very ferocious and could only be kept in a cage. No one was allowed to touch it. At that time, he had a wish that it would be great if he could hug the eagle. Seeing how docile the eagle was when held by the girl, he couldn't help but want to fulfill his wish.
"Prince, would you please let the retired emperor hug you? He is the boss of this palace. With him protecting you, you can walk around the palace with your head held high." Huang Ye negotiated with the prince. The prince would not let anyone hug him except her and Hongdou, not even Xiao Xiangzi.
The prince's eyes rolled around: although he was a little disgusted by the fat man in front of him, his master seemed to want to be hugged by this man. He even pinched his wings secretly just now. Well, even if it was for the purpose of walking sideways in the palace in the future, he had to let this fat man hug him.
Seeing that the prince had no objection, Huang Ye generously handed the prince to the emperor: "From now on, you can call it Prince. This is the name I gave it."
The emperor excitedly took the prince and held him in his arms: "Prince... this name is really nice, it means the king of eagles, it's great..."
"Prince, how about you living in Qiyun Palace from now on? I'll ask Old Ai to go to the imperial kitchen to make steamed meat for you every day..." The retired emperor was reluctant to let go of the prince, and had a crazy idea to bring the prince to his Qiyun Palace. He had a hunch that this eagle could understand human words.
The prince gave him a disdainful look and adjusted his posture to point his tail at him. What was this fat man thinking? Asking him to hug him was already the limit for him, and he even wanted to tempt him with the steamed meat from the imperial kitchen. Didn't he know that the steamed meat from the imperial kitchen was not as delicious as his roasted rabbit meat?
"Okay, Prince, please come down. I have to give the emperor acupuncture." Huang Ye saw the prince pointing his tail at the emperor and knew that he was unhappy. She was afraid that the emperor would continue to make demands, so she hurried up to interrupt him.
The retired emperor reluctantly put the prince on the table, and also put his arm on the table. It was strange that the needle was obviously intended for the stomach and intestines, but the girl gave him needles on his arm. According to her, there was an acupuncture point here that was related to the stomach and intestines.
Huang Ye did not give the acupuncture right away. She felt the pulse of the emperor first: "Tsk tsk tsk... Emperor, you really don't take your body seriously. You have so many problems..."
The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to her. This girl from the Huang family was just too talkative: "If you want to give me an acupuncture, just hurry up. You are just a kid, why would you talk so much nonsense?"
Huang Ye smiled secretly, and while giving him acupuncture, he kept muttering to him, "Is your hunger feeling much better? Even if you are hungry, you have to endure it. I have asked Eunuch Ai to keep an eye on you... If you eat secretly, I will prick the most painful acupuncture points on you, making you writhe in pain, and I will make sure that the food you eat is gone..."
Eunuch Ai kept nodding his head. He was watching closely, so the emperor had no chance of getting away with it.
"You little girl, do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? You even don't let me eat. Believe it or not, I will punish you for disrespect..." Seeing that she was talking like a child, the emperor was embarrassed and yelled at Huang Ye.
Huang Ye is not afraid: "Who is determined to lose weight? Who will be embarrassed if he fails to lose weight..."
The emperor walked into the Qiyun Palace amidst their quarreling. He did not let the eunuch guarding the gate report to him, but walked straight in. He stood in the yard with Eunuch Yu and listened to Huang Ye quarreling with his father. Although his father quarreled loudly, he did not sound angry. On the contrary, Huang Ye kept talking back to him one sentence after another. If you didn't know, you would think they were father and daughter quarreling for fun.
"Little Yuzi, I haven't heard father talk so much in a long time. He seems to be in a good mood. Let's go in and see if father still has a sullen face when he sees me like before, and doesn't look at me well." The emperor's mouth curled up slightly. Eunuch Yu knew that the emperor was happy, and he couldn't help but praise himself for his cleverness in his heart.
