Chapter 901 Three thousand beauties
Oh, so that's what happened. Chu Yun was secretly observing Ella's every move, and when he saw her reaction, he felt as if he was watching the fire.
No wonder she has reacted abnormally recently, often absent-mindedly, and she dressed up specially for this family dinner.
It turned out that I was just simply jealous.
Is it because of Ling'er, or because Princess Sophia's character is so similar to her that she has the illusion of being replaced?
After Chu Yun understood, he didn't want to tell it.
It is rare to see Ella, who has always been obedient to him, and Chu Yun suddenly finds it very interesting.
Not only did he not tell me, he also wanted to see her next reaction.
"Ahem, yes, since ancient times, there have been many beloved concubines in the East. A poet in the East said this - there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and thousands of them are loved by them." Chu Yun pretended to be serious, and while reciting Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", he secretly observed Ella's reaction.
Three thousand people... Ella was shocked. There were too many women in the army. If there were three thousand concubines, she would have been forgotten to know which corner... Thinking of this, Ella's eyes turned red.
"Three thousand people!" Princess Sophia was shocked.
"Of course it's an exaggeration. Sanqian is just an adjective." Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Yun was afraid that he would make Ella cry on the spot, so he hurriedly brought it back.
"It turns out that it's just an exaggeration..." Princess Sophia thought that the king of the East was so powerful that he could control three thousand beauties... Bah, what am I thinking. Princess Sophia was ashamed of her thoughts.
Three thousand beauties, three thousand women... All three thousand beauties echoed in Ella's head. I didn't hear Chu Yun's explanation later, and there was a tendency to go down.
"Are you okay?" Chu Yun found that he had been joking too much. With her loyal personality, she would definitely think what he said was true, so she asked in a low voice.
"It's okay..." Ella was awakened by Chu Yun and found that she was still on the dining table. She must not lose face of the military leader.
Ella's eyes were a little determined. There were only 3,000 women. At least she and the military commander gave birth to Ling'er, and she was able to work for the military commander in the intelligence department. Even if she was neglected in the future, as long as she could still see the military commander...
Why do I feel like she is getting deeper and deeper...
Chu Yun regretted that he shouldn't have done this for a temporary bad taste. Now, in front of members of the Royal Envoy, it is difficult to solve this problem. However, since he knew her knot, he would just comfort her after the dinner.
Li Jinde, who could understand this matter best, couldn't understand Chu Yun's conversation with the envoys, but instead didn't know what happened.
Princess Sophia didn't care that what she had no intention of asking about would stimulate Ella. Sir Greenville and Salina were both smart people, and knew what to say and not say. Seeing that something was wrong, she just thought nothing had happened.
What is the question about His Royal Highness the Princess? Did he ask the hostess in front of her master if she is the wife? Sir Greenville complained in his heart.
"Master of the East, how many concubines do you have?" Princess Sophia still kept holding the pot.
"Your Highness, please pay attention to your master's privacy." Sir Greenville had to take the initiative to remind the princess.
"I just ask, my brother married a French princess, but in private..." Princess Sophia muttered.
"Ahem! Your Highness the Princess!" Sir Greenville saw that Princess Sophia had revealed some secrets from the British royal family, and quickly stopped Princess Sophia's behavior.
Chu Yun was also a little troubled. Princess Sophia seemed to be unconcerned about these topics. If she knew the secrets of Charles I, wouldn’t she be embarrassed when she cooperated in the future?
"Serve the food!" Yu Cheng, who was guarding the side, saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he came out in advance to shout for the kitchen to serve the food.
"Sir, why is it faster than expected?" asked the chef who was busy in the big kitchen.
"Something happened, you can speed up and immediately. When the appetizer is ready, you can deliver it first." Yu Cheng said.
Soon the appetizers were served, cold dishes, hot dishes, and dishes from ten different regions. The dishes with a variety of colors, aroma and flavor quickly attracted the attention of the members of the envoys. In addition to the appetizers, there was also Cantonese old fire soup, which surprised Princess Sophia.
"Baised stove roast duck." The chef in Beijing brought the chopped roast duck.
"Delicious..." Princess Sofia used a fork to put a piece of roast duck into her mouth. It was crispy and delicious, and the meat was tender.
"Mapo Tofu."
"Boiled fish."
The dishes come one by one, and the dishes from all over the place make people feel very happy.
"These two dishes are very spicy, you must be careful." Chu Yun pointed to the two dishes brought by the Sichuan cuisine chef.
However, when Chu Yun reminded, Princess Sophia had swallowed a spoonful of Mapo tofu.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Princess Sofia was choked by the peppercorn and she burst into tears, "Water, water!"
Princess Sofia poured the tea at hand, but it did not relieve it at all.
"There is a glass of milk here, which can relieve the spicy taste a little." Chu Yun asked someone to hand the prepared milk to Princess Sophia.
"It's so spicy!" Princess Sophia stuck out her tongue, unable to stand the spicy taste.
"Your Highness, please be careful of etiquette." Sir Greenville reminded.
"I think this dish is good, it tastes just right." Salina's reaction was different from Princess Sophia, and she seemed to have a special liking for Sichuan cuisine.
It seems that there is still a big difference between individuals. Chu Yun found that Salina could already use chopsticks quite skillfully, while Princess and Sir Greenville were still using knife and fork.
"This is the gourd chicken from Xi'an."
“Braised prawns from Jiaodong.”
In addition to being unable to stand the spicy taste of Sichuan cuisine, Princess Sofia still has relish in the dishes from other places. However, she was surprised that a civilization could actually have dishes with different styles and the tastes were very different.
"I think even if I live here for a lifetime, I can't eat all the Chinese dishes." Princess Sophia said.
"Don't say that you can eat all the Chinese dishes. Even if you have lived in a city for decades, you may not be able to eat all the local dishes." Chu Yun said.
"Yeah, yeah." Princess Sophia nodded repeatedly.
After the main course, exquisite desserts were served, including steamed sugar cheese, osmanthus cake, Princess Sophia and others, and were amazed again.
"I don't know what the main purpose of the Royal Envoy's visit was for this time?" Chu Yun asked at this time.
It's time to get to the point! Sir Greenville put down the knife and fork in his hand. This time he came to China not only to find out the mysterious East, but also to shoulder the important task of communicating with the British royal family and China.
It is not an easy task to convince Chu Yun to choose to cooperate with the British royal family.
