When I saw all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas served on the table like water, I was stunned.
Roast duck, roast goose, hoof, elbow, braised pork, pearl meatballs...
Looking at the table full of hard dishes, I couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, and I looked at Mighty.
Although this dynasty is an imaginary era, the country is prosperous and the people are safe and prosperous, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Fortunately, we didn't live in a war-torn era, otherwise even eating would be a problem.
Liu Huai'an was dumbfounded when I saw that I didn't say anything, so he tore off a duck leg and started chewing it happily.
At other tables, they just pick up their chopsticks and order until they stop. But I am better at it, and I go into full force as soon as I come up.
I don’t blame him. He hasn’t sat at the same table with me for so long since I’ve been here. This time I’ll just eat with everyone else and keep it together. Huaizhu and I are allowed to sit alone. We’re not allowed to tear the roast duck in half, one for each person. Eat half a share?
Liu Huai'an took out his handkerchief and wiped my hands while he cut off the duck legs and put them on the plate next to him: "Madam, eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." An Rurou stuffed me with a pair of chopsticks.
I knew he was afraid that I would look ugly and make a fool of him, so I had no choice but to do what he wanted, pick up a meatball with chopsticks and put it in my mouth.
Ling Fei saw it and separated his big duck leg, and then told the eunuch to give it to me, saying it was a gift from the emperor.
I saluted Ling Hui: "It is said that the emperor loves his people like his own children, and today he is truly worthy of his reputation. I would like to express my gratitude to the Lord for his kindness."
Then he sat next to Liu Huai'an, holding a big duck leg and started eating provocatively at Liu Huai'an.
Song E and Fan Fengchu were also shocked. They didn't expect that Ling Hui would dare to favor me openly and openly in front of everyone.
For this reason, the way they looked at Fan Zi and Ren Lianqing was more or less unpleasant.
From the beginning to the end, Ling Ze held his chin with one hand and stared at me. He felt that watching me eat was very interesting. He suddenly said: "I didn't expect that the famous Prime Minister's wife is really better than seeing her. I She is also cute and cute. I see her straightforward personality and want to make friends. What do you think?"
I put down the duck leg and didn't answer directly.
Liu Huai'an came out to socialize: "I understand King An's wishes on behalf of Madam."
I also smiled and gestured with my forehead, Lingze was not annoyed, he took a sip of the wine in the glass, which meant that he was turning the page.
At this time, Ling Fei came out to smooth things over, his voice cold and icy: "Everyone knows that King An likes to make friends all over the world, why is it still left to the officials and their families now?"
There was a smile on Ling Ze's lips: "How dare I compete with the emperor? A duck leg is enough to silence the prime minister."
Ling Fei knew that he was quarreling with her, and raised her thick eyebrows: "I have been childhood sweethearts with the Prime Minister's wife. It is rare to see her all year round, so it would be a good idea to express my concern. I wonder what King An wants?"
Concubine De, who was banqueting with him next to him, could sense the spark and jealousy in it. She took the initiative to pour wine for Ling Fei and kept silent, pretending not to notice.
Seeing the sparks between the two of them, Liu Huai'an saw the opportunity and came out to calm down the turmoil: "Your Majesty, King An, and I are both kings and friends. They all show great love to me and my wife. I and my wife are very grateful." .”
I wonder if this Lingze is interested in me?
But I only met him once in a restaurant.
As for Ling Fei's jealousy, all the civil and military officials at the scene could clearly see it. Even my father, Fan Zi, pretended not to hear and buried himself in the bitter meal.
I thought that if I didn't come forward to break the situation, it would be time for outsiders to laugh.
I calmly raised my eyes and looked around, and said sincerely: "In order to share the court affairs for the emperor, the prime minister usually comes home early and goes out late. He is worried about the country and the people. He is also worried."
"This time the emperor not only rewarded the three armies, but also showed great consideration to the prime minister for his hard work. He is indeed a good emperor in the eyes of the people."
"What's more, the prime minister's ability to handle political affairs is not only recognized by the emperor, but even King An is full of praise for him. Not only does he have a good personal relationship with him, but he even wants to make friends with his wife. Such an approachable prince is very important both inside and outside the court. , it’s hard to find even with a lantern.”
Song E and Fan Fengchu looked at each other in disbelief. Is the Fan Xuezhi in front of them, who is neither humble nor arrogant, and has a certain degree of advancement and retreat, still the same wild girl who went to heaven and earth in the Taifu Mansion?
In this way, with just a few words, I instantly resolved the tense atmosphere in the banquet. I also gave the emperor and prince enough face, without causing them to turn against each other.
They even speculated from this that after I stepped in to resolve the dispute between the three of them this time, Liu Huai'an would rise to a higher level in Ling Hui's mind.
After having enough wine and food, I went home happily with my little belly in my arms.
I was still thinking on the way, but luckily I stepped in to smooth things over and everyone ate like a guest and a host.
Moreover, his jealousy towards Liu Huaian only increased.
In the carriage, Liu Huai'an looked at me without saying a word. I came to my senses later, and now I was pushed into the trap again.
But in that case, protecting him is equivalent to protecting myself. I can't hit him in the face in front of all the civil and military officials, otherwise my own face will hurt!
Now after I solve the hot potato for him, he immediately gives me his full attention.
He stretched out his arms and pressed me against the carriage. He came close to me and asked me, "Why didn't I realize before that Madam is not only caring and caring, but also well-behaved and smart?"
Want to play ambiguous games with me? impossible!
What's more, although Liu Huaian is good-looking, he is not my cup of tea, and I have not had a good impression of him from the beginning to the end, so reconciliation is impossible.
My original intention is still there, I want to make peace with him, and I also want to use Dai Shishi's rise to get myself out. This is my only goal at the moment!
I didn't reply to his words, I secretly gathered my strength and waited for the opportunity, thinking about dying, I would die! It’s better than being taken advantage of by a dirty cucumber man!
While the carriage was bumping, I hit the other person's front teeth hard with my forehead.
I don’t know whether his teeth were broken or not. Two tooth-shaped purple bruises appeared on my forehead. It seems that they will follow me for a while.
Liu Huaian's screams echoed throughout Zhangtai Street.
It wasn't until we returned home that Huaizhu came to pick me up and helped me down. Hua Er burst into tears instantly: "My poor young lady, you just went to the palace to have a meal, why did you do it when you came back?" I have been disfigured by plastic surgery, how should I explain it to the master and his wife?"
I covered my stinging forehead and asked Huaizhu: "Is it really ugly?"
Huaizhu nodded.
I glanced at Liu Huai'an who came out from behind. It seemed that he might be in a worse situation than me.
I saw him covering his mouth and grinning as he walked toward the house. As he walked, he told Uncle Fu to find a doctor to take a look. He didn't even bother to scold me. I wouldn't know how to jump around normally.
Huaizhu saw the two of us looking strange and asked me in a low voice: "What's wrong with Mr. Xiang?"
I pretended to be innocent and said, "On the way back, the carriage bumped and the prince's front teeth bit my forehead."
After hearing this, Huaizhu felt a huge pain in her teeth and looked at me dumbfounded. Could such a weird thing happen?
