With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the potatoes are ripe.

Nan Yan ordered Shuang Bai and Su Bai to find someone to dig out the two potatoes from the mountain and put them in the cellar of Shang Yue's house in the suburbs of Beijing.

As for those in the palace, she personally led people to the cold palace to dig them out.

In the cold palace, there were no weeds except where potatoes grew. The rest of the place was full of weeds, and the tips of the weeds had begun to turn yellow.

Nan Yan pointed at the yellowed leaves of the potatoes and instructed, "Dig out the things under the roots. Be careful not to break them."

"Yes, ma'am."

The palace servants took the hoes that Nan Yan had someone find and started digging.

Yin Ling raised her hand and held the handkerchief in front of Nan Yan's eyes, "It's very dusty here, Madam, you should wait outside!"

"No need. I'll wait here." Nan Yan took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

She can't wait to see the dug potatoes. She wonders how big they are now.

There were only a dozen or so potato plants, and they were soon dug up by the palace servants.

There are four or five seeds under one plant, and some may have seven or eight seeds.

After digging out a dozen plants, a large basket of potatoes was dug out.

They looked at these lumps of earth with curiosity.

Two eunuchs brought the potatoes in the basket to Nan Yan.

"My lady, they have all been dug out."

Nan Yan looked down and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

The potatoes in the basket are of different sizes, the largest one is as big as a newborn baby's head.

This potato variety looks great.

"You move the backpack to Changle Palace."

I can eat potatoes tonight, and Nan Yan's mouth is watering.

Her tone was unconsciously filled with laughter, "Yinling, go back to the palace."

Even the pace of walking has become much more cheerful.

On the way back to Changle Palace, Yinling looked at the smile on her queen's face and couldn't help but wonder, could that lump of earth be something extremely precious?

She asked, "Madam, what is that lump of earth?"

Nan Yan turned around and smiled, "It's a good thing."

What good stuff?

Yinling scratched her head.

When she reacted, she saw Nan Yan had already walked a long way away, so she trotted after her.

After returning to Changle Palace, Nan Yan told Yin Ling who was standing beside her, "Send someone to inform the imperial kitchen to prepare three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes tonight. Also, please invite the Queen Mother to have dinner at Changle Palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

Nan Yan returned to the palace, changed into a light outfit with small sleeves, and entered the small kitchen of Changle Palace.

The cooks quickly stood up and came forward, "Greetings, Madam."

"No gift."

When the cooks stood up, she ordered, "Help me wash ten potatoes."

Seeing the cook's puzzled expression, she pointed to the basket of potatoes on the ground and said, "This is it."

It turns out this thing is called potato.

When the palace servants brought the backpack over just now, they were wondering what it was!

I don’t know what to do.

According to Nan Yan's request, the cooks washed the potatoes and scraped off the skins with a knife.

"Chop three into large chunks and the remaining four into thin strips."

The cooks did as they were told.

The potatoes were cut and the chicken nuggets were ready, and it was almost time, so Nan Yan rolled up her sleeves.

When the cooks saw that she was about to do it herself, their expressions changed and they quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, just tell me how to cook the potatoes. You don't have to do it yourself."

Nan Yan waved her hand and said, "No need, I will do it myself."

She was afraid that what they made would not suit her taste. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and she couldn't mess it up tonight.

When the Queen Mother arrived at Changle Palace, only Le Yu and Le Zhi, who had just finished school, were playing in the palace.

She looked around but didn't see Nan Yan.

"Yu'er Zhizhi, where is your mother?"

Le Yu stopped what he was doing, looked up and replied, "Grandmother, my mother is cooking in the small kitchen!"

Make something?

The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

She turned and went to the kitchenette.

When Nan Yan saw the empress dowager, she went out to greet her. The kitchen was filled with a strong smell of cooking fumes and she was afraid that the empress dowager would be choked.

"I've met my mother."

The Queen Mother helped Nan Yan up and said, "Yan'er, if you want to eat something, just tell the cook to make it. Why are you making it yourself?"

"Mother, I want to give you and the Emperor a surprise tonight, and I have to do it myself."

When the Queen Mother heard her say this, she smiled and said, "Then I will wait and see."

"Mother, please go sit in the palace. You will be well soon."

"Okay, then be careful and don't hurt yourself."

When Shang Yue arrived, Nan Yan's three dishes were ready.

Roast chicken with potatoes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, a potato pancake, and mashed potatoes for the two children.

When Nan Yan heard the sound of greeting in the yard, she knew that Shang Yue would definitely come to the kitchen, so she went out to block him.

Sure enough, when she reached the door, she saw the man approaching.

"Yan'er, why are you cooking today?"

He came over and wanted to hold the person in his arms.

Nan Yan put her hand against his chest to block it.

"Don't get so close. I smell like cooking fumes. It's not nice."

The man chuckled, raised his hand and grabbed her hand, took a step forward, lowered his head and sniffed her neck, and smiled: "Yan'er still smells as good as always."

"Okay, stop being poor."

Nan Yan took a step back and put some distance between them.

"I made something good today, I'll make sure you and mother haven't seen it."

She had a mysterious smile on her face.

"Oh?"

The imperial chefs in the palace come from all over the world and can cook meals from all over the place.

This was something that neither he nor his mother had ever seen before, which aroused the man's curiosity. "What good stuff is that?"

"You'll know in a moment. Let's go to the main hall first."

Seeing the sly smile on the little woman's face, Shang Yue looked doting. He followed her wishes without asking any further questions and followed her to the main hall.

Neither the Queen Mother nor Shang Yue had ever thought about why Nan Yan, a young lady who had never done housework, could cook.

Shang Yue even felt that his Yan'er was very talented, dexterous, and knew a lot of things, so cooking was no problem for her.

Nan Yan had just changed her clothes when the food was served. The three dishes she had prepared were also placed on the table.

The fragrance instantly filled her nose, and she couldn't help but drool.

"Yan'er, is this the dish you cooked?" The Queen Mother said, pointing at the roast chicken with potatoes, shredded potatoes and potato pancakes.

It was obvious that they had never seen these dishes before.

Before Nan Yan could answer, the Queen Mother pointed at the potato and asked, "What is this?"

Nan Yan was silent and did not answer directly. Instead, she said, "Mother, please try it first to see if it tastes good."

Nan Yan knew that the potatoes were not poisonous and could be eaten, but others did not know. So before the potatoes were served, the eunuchs who tasted them had already eaten them in advance and only served them after confirming that they were not poisonous.

"Okay, I'll try it first."

The Queen Mother picked up a piece of potato and put it into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, her eyes lit up.
