My food stall creates the strongest people in the world
Chapter 54: The emperor likes her very much, but the concubine holds a grudge against her?
The prince next to him... was also stunned.
So much money, and he took it without any pain at all. It seems that he is really rich. Thinking of this, the prince who had made such a confident vow before coming here suddenly felt a little unconfident.
He originally wanted to pay this girl to set up a stall in the palace to add some different delicacies to the banquet, but she didn't seem to be short of money... and she was very rich.
With this thought in mind, the prince started brainstorming, thinking about what could attract her.
Yue Yue felt that there was someone standing next to her. She turned around and saw that it was the prince who rescued her yesterday.
Thinking of the maid and the princess's greeting yesterday, Yue Yue made a not-so-standard greeting.
"See..."
"Ahem," the man interrupted Yue Yue.
Although everyone knew that he was the idle prince, few people knew that he was the prince. After all, he often came to Linglong Pavilion to eat and occasionally went shopping. He didn't want a bunch of people to greet him every time he went out.
Yue Yue understood immediately and said nothing more.
The two waiters standing by finally raised their heads from the joy of counting money, and when they saw him standing next to them, they both bowed.
"Mr. Liu, good afternoon."
"Well, good afternoon."
Yue Yue watched their interaction and had another impression of this prince: family member.
At least for now, he seems to be quite approachable, with a good personality, good looks, and especially this clear voice...
As he thought about it, Yue Yue stared at him intently, but she didn't know it.
The two waiters nearby were afraid that she had offended Young Master Liu, so they quickly reminded her.
"Miss Yue, we have finished the inventory and everything is correct. If there is nothing else, shall we go back first?"
Yue Yue came back to her senses and nodded blankly: "Okay."
The two waiters slipped away quickly. One was a big customer, and the other was someone the boss had said not to offend. One could only hope that these two people would not have any grudges against each other. However, since they had left, even if there was any unpleasantness, it had nothing to do with them.
Thinking of the way the little girl stared at him blankly just now, the prince couldn't help but chuckled.
Yue Yue turned her head to look at him, and the man raised his hand to cover the corner of his lips.
"The girl's surname is Yue?"
Yue Yue nodded: "Yes, Yue Yue, Qiu Shanyue, Yue means pleasure."
"Yue Yue... is a good name."
Yue Yue smiled and said, "Thanks for the compliment."
"Miss Yue already knows my identity, so I won't give you a fake name. I am the prince, Chu Yu."
When Yue Yue heard the maid calling Prince Yu yesterday, she guessed that this man's name might contain the word "Yu", but she thought it was the "Yu" in jade, and the prince naturally would not explain in detail that he was that "Yu".
If we think in this way, it is an honor for her to be told her name.
Chu Yu looked down at the food and wine on the table, a slight smile appearing in the corners of his eyes.
"Miss Yue likes drinking?"
Yue Yue looked down along the line of sight he was looking at. She didn't feel anything when she bought it just now, but now she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What should she do?
This seems like I bought a bit too much.
Such a big table, half of it is filled with wine.
But he still shook his head and explained, "No, I seldom drink. These are all for my dad...father. My father likes to drink. This time when he traveled to the imperial capital, he found that the wine in Linglong Pavilion seemed good, so I bought some more. After all, I don’t know if he will come again in the future."
Chu Yu asked curiously, "May I ask where you are from?"
Yue Yue: ...
Which country are you from? Chinese.
But this obviously cannot be said. After chatting with the people this morning, Yue Yue also found out the general layout of this world.
Recalling the small countries they mentioned, Yue Yue directly mentioned a country that left a deep impression on him.
"I was born in Hanyi, but I only stayed there until I was ten years old, then I started traveling around with my parents. After I was eighteen, I started traveling alone. My parents were stationed in a remote place."
Handan...
Chu Yu had a vague impression that it was a small country, but the customs of the entire country were completely different from theirs.
We came to the Celestial Empire to pay tribute before, and at that time we wanted to submit a peace agreement, and the Celestial Empire agreed. After all, there are indeed a lot of strange and exotic things there, and the place is actually not small, it is a very large area.
However, he had never been there, and there was not much communication between the two countries afterwards. They would come to pay tribute only at the end of the year, and apart from that, there was nothing else.
He doesn't know much about that place either.
However... facing Yue Yue's sincere gaze, Chu Yu chose to believe it.
The two chatted for a while, and finally, Chu Yu told them the purpose of his trip.
"Miss Yue, are you willing to set up a stall in the palace? I mentioned you to my brother yesterday, and he was very interested. Tomorrow is the Queen's birthday banquet, and I want to invite you to the palace. You can make this dish so delicious, I believe your other dishes should be good too. We can pay you a lot of money, you can name a price."
The palace!
Yue Yue's eyes lit up.
If there is a place with the most good things, it must be the palace!
It shouldn't be too much for her to ask for some gold, jade and rare treasures, right?
Yue Yue asked tentatively: "Can I have something else?"
Seeing Chu Yu's doubtful expression, Yue Yue explained: "You saw it yesterday. I'm not short of money, but as a ferryman, I'm very interested in those treasures. The rarer the better. Of course, you don't need to give too much. One or two will be fine. As for the dishes..."
Yue Yue calculated that after the system indoctrination, he found that what was suitable for a birthday banquet should be prepared here.
He looked up at Chu Yu and said, "I can cook eleven dishes. Although everyone may have different tastes, I can guarantee that each one is delicious."
This is a real surprise.
Chu Yu originally thought that being able to make three or four dishes would be great, but he didn't expect that there would be as many as eleven.
Moreover, he could actually understand Yue Yue's request. After all, from what he saw yesterday, she was indeed rich. On the way here, he was still worried about whether he could attract her to the palace. If she just wanted rare treasures, Chu Yu didn't even need to ask the emperor.
He can make the decision.
The treasure trove of the Celestial Empire is piled up like mountains. Giving a few more items is not a problem. If my brother is happy, he might even reward me with more.
So, Chu Yu immediately asked her to pack up and go into the palace.
"I have arranged accommodation for you, and you also need to familiarize yourself with the imperial kitchen in advance."
Yue Yue looked at the freshly made skewers, hesitating whether to sell them all before going in. The banquet would not start until tomorrow anyway. Chu Yu understood immediately and there was no need for her to say anything. He just moved his hands slightly.
The servant next to him stepped forward.
"Miss Yue, please calculate how much you need in total, and we will buy it."
Yue Yue's mouth is almost pouting under the veil.
"Okay, okay, I'll calculate it."
Big client, this is her God of Wealth!
Chu Yu looked at the very understandable expression and emotional ups and downs, and he himself didn't notice that he was also smiling at this moment.
Yue Yue didn't ask where the boy took the skewers. Since they had already bought them, she couldn't control where they were placed even if they weren't eaten. However...
Looking up at the man in front of her who exuded gentleness in his bones, Yue Yue felt that he would not do that.
When the servant came back, he was empty-handed and didn't know where he had put it. It was given to him so quickly.
Chu Yu then led the way, and Yue Yue rode the dining car. Chu Yu saw that it seemed that people could stand directly on the car, so he simply got on and stood in an empty space.
The servant behind him glanced at the prince and was about to go up, but Chu Yu looked at him and said coldly.
"You lead the way, go through the main entrance."
The servant walked silently to the front of the car and led the way for Yue Yue, his face full of disappointment. He also wanted to get on this car to experience it, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only lead the way obediently.
The guard guarding the palace gate saw a pink thing approaching him from a distance. When Yue Yue's car drove up, he still had no idea what it was.
"Stop! Who is it!"
Chu Yu, who was at the back of the car, got down and showed his face. Several guards were half-kneeling on the ground.
"Meet Prince Yu."
"Well, this is the person specially invited to the Queen's birthday banquet."
Without saying anything else, the guard let him pass without even checking him. Yue Yue now had a clearer understanding of the status of this prince.
The roads that the prince's servant took them on were all roads that horse-drawn carriages could normally travel on, so Yue Yue's dining car could naturally drive through smoothly.
Yue Yue was already dazzled by what she saw. This palace was much more luxurious and extravagant than those she had seen in TV dramas, especially when she passed by the Imperial Garden.
When she watched TV dramas in the past, she always felt that the imperial gardens were so stingy. They were just a small courtyard with a lot of flowers. She didn't know why so many concubines and emperors liked to go to the imperial gardens to appreciate the flowers.
With so few flowers, why not plant them in your own yard or in every house?
But what I saw before me could only be described as shocking.
How big is it?
They were now driving slowly following the servant's pace, so it was actually almost as fast as a walk.
It was so big that they took more than ten minutes to walk just past the Imperial Garden, and they were just passing along the edge. Just from the edge, Yue Yue could see nothing but beautiful flowers of all kinds.
And there are so many varieties of flowers, on the trees, in the bushes, on the ground, on the walls, and even the pavilion for cooling off is all covered with various flowers. The whole place is full of flowers and is so beautiful that it looks like a flower fairyland.
The only downside is that it smells really good.
Although it smells nice, the fragrance is too mixed. If you want to smell a single scent, you have to get very close to smell that particular flower.
But the management was pretty good, as she didn't see any bees or other insects flying around.
The palace maids, eunuchs and guards along the way were all staring at Yue Yue and her group, or to be more precise, they were staring at her car.
After walking for about half an hour, the servant stopped in front of a palace. Chu Yu straightened his clothes and slowly got out of the car.
Yue Yue subconsciously jumped out of the car. Chu Yu was stunned with his hand half extended, and silently withdrew it, but a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
There was a small courtyard in the palace, which was just right for parking. After Yue Yue parked the car, Chu Yu took her around for a walk.
"This is the Fuqin Palace. It is usually where the families of the concubines in the palace live. Although it is seldom used, it is always cleaned. You can live here for the next few days."
After everyone was outside, Chu Yu continued.
"I have my own residence outside the palace, but I will occasionally return to live in the palace. The Yuhe Palace next door is where I live. I will be staying in the palace these days, so if you have any questions, you can come to me."
The servant beside him carefully glanced at the prince's expression, lowered his head and pursed his lips.
At first, the prince did come back to live there, but that was when the Fuqin Palace was still deserted and no one lived there. It was later on that the emperor felt that his younger brother was already old enough to get married and have children, but was still alone, so he finally could not sit still any longer.
So he turned the Fuqin Palace next door into a place for his family.
It is said to be a place where family members live, but in fact everyone knows that it is just various ladies who bring their unmarried daughters to live here for a few days, trying to get in touch with Prince Yu to see if they can be favored by him, or if something else can happen.
Although it is said to be next door, it is not actually reachable by just turning a corner. It still takes several minutes to walk there.
At first, Prince Yu didn't mind, because he still liked to stay in the palace and accompany the Queen Mother.
But those who live in Fuqin Palace are really restless. Either they fall down in front of me, or I run into them by chance. Anyway, I run into them several times a day.
Prince Yu was so fed up that he moved out of the palace.
It seems like it has been several years since I last lived in the palace.
Although everyone saw him move out of the palace later and knew that it was pointless to live in Fuqin Palace, so they never came back, but Prince Yu still never came back to live. Even when he came to the palace to see the Queen Mother, he left the palace and returned to his own residence on the same day.
The always clever servant knew clearly that his prince, who seemed gentle but was actually cold and indifferent, might be a little concerned.
Whether it was out of curiosity or something else, he definitely took it to heart.
Although Yue Yue felt a little uneasy about leaving his dining car, he suppressed his anxiety when he thought that he was running pretty fast and the prince was following him. He just followed him for a stroll.
Along the way, Prince Yu acted like a tour guide, introducing here and there.
The two chatted a lot, and it turned out that they got along quite well, with their ideas not that different from each other.
Yue Yue was surprised that, although he was a native of this world and a member of the royal family, this prince did not put on airs at all and did not have any disdain or look down on women in his bones.
The prince was surprised that the girl in front of him was worthy of being a ferry merchant and had a much broader vision than ordinary people. However, it also made him more curious about Yue Yue's face under the veil.
When the few of them walked into the imperial kitchen, the cooks and servants looked terrified.
"Prince, this place is dirty. You can't go in. You might get your clothes dirty."
The prince waved his hand and said, "Nothing, this is Miss Yue who was specially invited for the Queen's banquet tomorrow. You all should recognize her and make whatever she says. You should cook the dishes you ordered as usual, but put the dishes she made separately and present them together when the time comes."
