"These are inedible. They pricked the mouth very much. In the afternoon, several young eunuchs didn't believe it and insisted on trying it. Now they are still hiding in the room, and their mouths are all pricked and bleeding."
It is not good to show up at a festive palace banquet like tonight with a wounded face. It will offend the eyes of the nobles and risk your life.
Xiao Xuanzi nodded: "Then I'll leave first. I'll tell you later."
say what?
Of course, the senior manager cooperated very well and found him the most difficult crabs out of millions.
"Master Jiang..."
Xiao Xuanzi walked into the smoke-filled "battlefield" with a smile. As if he was unaware of Pei's anger, he placed four plates of peeled crab meat on the tables of Jiang Xinyan, Jiang Junze, and sisters Jiang Yunxia and Jiang Yuncai. in front of the desktop.
"The emperor said that the crab meat this year is quite plump, so he asked the servants to give some of the young masters an extra portion, so that they can enjoy themselves."
Jiang Yuncai swallowed and whispered in his sister's ear: "Isn't it right? I just took a few more bites and the emperor saw this? The emperor is too doting on cousin Yue!"
How could the emperor notice what they like to eat?
It's obviously because he loves cousin Yue that he wants to take more care of her family.
No one present... no one would have thought that the crab meat was not rewarded by the emperor at all, but was just Jiang Xin Yuehu pretending to be a tiger.
Does the person who was rewarded dare to ask the emperor: "Did you really reward me with crab meat?"
Mrs. Pei's face turned pale, and she turned to look at Emperor Xuanwu, who was looking up at her. She saw that his eyes were always looking at Zhen Concubine. Zhen Concubine's eyes... Why were Zhen Concubine's eyes... why were they always staring at her?
She felt guilty for a moment, fearing that Concubine Zhen would cause trouble for her.
"Is it just for us, or are there others too?"
Jiang Yankun felt a bit like Lin Daiyu at this moment, and said in a strange way: "Isn't Miss Pei not there?"
A young woman in her thirties was called Miss Pei, and she was called Miss Pei so confidently that Ms. Pei almost died of shame and anger.
Every time Miss Pei is heard, everyone present will be reminded that when something happened to the Song family, she immediately reconciled with Prime Minister Song and returned to the Pei family with her dowry.
Yes, she didn't even leave a penny to Prime Minister Song. She didn't care about his life or death and his situation in the Song family, and ran away with the money.
Xiao Xuanzi looked at Mrs. Pei and raised the corner of his mouth: "How could Miss Pei be missing? The emperor was not able to attend Pei Zhongshu's sixtieth birthday. He felt very sorry and asked his servant to send two crabs to Miss Pei."
Mrs. Pei's face was filled with ecstasy, and she became angry: "My father is Zhongshu Ling, a close minister of the emperor. How could the emperor forget me? You..."
"Miss Pei, please-"
Xiao Xuanzi opened the lid of the silver plate, and there were two steamed crabs lying inside.
The little father-in-law said there were two crabs, and they really were two crabs.
Two neat crabs with shells and meat.
How can people eat this?
How can a rich family eat crabs like this?
Only the unscrupulous fishermen chewed and vomited the fish with their mouths, which was extremely uncivilized and embarrassing.
Mrs. Pei looked at the dinner plates of the juniors from the two families. They were clearly peeled and folded into a mountain shape. They even poured vinegar on them. They were all eaten by those little guys in a few seconds. .
"Puch!"
Jiang Yankun laughed rudely: "Sorry, Miss Pei, I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it."
After laughing, he coughed twice: "Miss Pei, eat quickly! Don't let the emperor remember you and forget your kindness. You can't help but appreciate the emperor's great kindness!"
Mr. Pei's face turned green and white. Her smile was uglier than crying and she said, "Father-in-law, I...can I eat again later?"
Let the personal maid handle it for a while before eating, and she will not be laughed at.
"This can't be done."
Xiao Xuanzi's face turned down: "I'm still waiting to go back and report my life to the emperor! How does this crab meat taste? You will be happy to eat it. If you don't eat it, how will I answer when the emperor asks?"
If you don't eat, you are ignorant of good and evil. If you refute the emperor's good intentions, you will lose your head.
With everyone watching the show, Pei had no choice but to pick up a crab, but after looking at it for a long time, she didn't know where to start.
She had only seen crabs that turned into a bowl of crab meat after being served. Where had she ever seen a whole crab like this?
But the father-in-law was obviously impatient. He looked at her displeasedly, and she could only bite on the hardness with red eyes, full of humiliation.
"Crack!"
"ah!"
I don’t know what kind of crab it is. The edge of the shell is undulating wavy lines, and there are small pointed spines on every raised point.
Mrs. Pei opened her mouth and went down, but the corners of her mouth were pricked by those small thorns. The pain made her scream in surprise, but she was drowned out by the singing and dancing above the hall.
Jiang Xinyue was amused by her ungentlemanly look, and she, Magpie and Shuangjiang covered their mouths and laughed.
Emperor Xuanwu was a little unhappy before seeing this smile tonight.
But now Zhenbi's eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and her happy and wanton smile infected him, making him unconsciously raise the corners of his lips.
In his eyes, everything has lost its color, and everything around Zhenbi is blurry. Only she is clearly imprinted in his eyes, with bright colors and delicate appearance.
The noise around him disappeared in an instant, and even Zhenbi's frown and smile became slow motion, repeating over and over again in his mind.
She is so beautiful and cute.
It was not because of her appearance, but because Emperor Xuanwu felt that she was so beautiful from the bottom of his heart that he couldn't help but want to get close to her, want to pamper her, and want to give Zhenbi the best.
He's finished!
He fell under Zhenbi's smile!
Isn’t it just a piece of clothing?
If she gives it to the Queen, just give it to the Queen!
Maybe she doesn’t like this color!
I'll make her a new one next time.
Empress Zhu sat next to him and felt the emperor's suddenly happy mood most intuitively.
He turned around and looked over. Emperor Xuanwu calmly withdrew his eyes from Zhenbi, and looked at Empress Zhu in confusion: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the empress?"
Empress Zhu smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty, I was too impulsive a few days ago and did not care about your face. Now the old year is about to pass. We will leave all the unpleasantness in the old year and walk together into the new year. How’s your age?”
Fenchu was right, even if she didn't think about herself, she should still think more about the fifth prince.
Emperor Xuanwu held her hand and said, "I am very happy that the queen thinks so. This is also the meaning of the New Year's Eve banquet."
The ministers were also very pleased to see that the emperor and empress were in harmony. From this point of view, the previous rumors that the emperor and empress were separated were all false.
If they were separated, how could the couple wear clothes that represent love together?
Look at the way the flowers on the Queen's clothes are clinging to the vines on the Emperor's robe soaring up, it's clear that a lot of thought was put into it.
Jiang Xinyue looked at the emperor and empress, and she was also smiling.
But that smile was much more meaningful.
Sometimes the more divorced a couple is, the more they will deliberately show affection in front of others.
