Chapter 283: Many Hearts
Lin Yuan was dumbfounded, the emperor wanted to stay and eat the dishes she cooked? What if she eats a good meal?
But soon, the palace maids with the dishes and the eunuchs who inspected the dishes dispelled her concerns. The emperor had less than a dozen dishes in the meal, so she cooked four dishes plus one soup was naturally not enough, and the others were all made in the imperial dining room, and each dish was tried and eaten by a eunuch one by one, and pricked with a silver needle.
Lin Yuan looked at the speechlessness, and suddenly felt that Ji Zongya was actually quite tired, thinking about whether anyone had robbed him of his country and whether he had poisoned him.
After the eunuch finished inspecting the dishes, the dishes were also colder, but Ji Zongya said reassuringly, "Let's eat." ”
Lin Yuan sat on Ji Zongyu's right hand, eating the crystal duck closest to her in front of her, but she didn't like to eat it, as if chewing wax.
Speaking of which, the emperor just let her learn the rules she should have learned earlier, but she was eating at the same table with Ji Zongyu at this time, and the emperor didn't say anything? What men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, those rules are all for the poor who have no power and no power, where will the powerful and powerful care, and the most unruly is the emperor who is powerful and powerful.
Lin Yuan thought depressedly and bit the duck in front of him fiercely.
Ji Zongyu on the side also wondered, when did Lin Xiaosi like to eat ducks so much?
Ji Zongya ate a few bites of food, then cleared his throat and was about to speak again.
Lin Yuan's ears were erected, and he was slandered, he came, he came again, he didn't say anything about anything, he was all a dog in front of the emperor.
"I heard from the queen that the noble Wen also came to disturb me in the morning. also made insulting remarks that stained the ears of the concubine. Ji Zongya didn't know whether it was praise or depreciation, and said in a flat tone.
As soon as Lin Yuan heard that the emperor was talking to Concubine Jiang, she continued to eat, as if she hadn't heard it.
And Concubine Jiang put down the chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth before replying, "It's not disrespectful, Wen Guiren is just a little bit unscrupulous, but it's not a big deal, the emperor bothered." ”
Ji Zongya nodded very calmly, as if it wasn't him who asked the question. But it was immediately after. His gaze swept to Lin Yuan's head, who was immersed in hardship.
"Miss Lin. Can you get used to it in the palace? He asked, kindly.
Lin Yuan took the chopsticks in his hand, quickly swallowed the contents of his mouth, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and quickly got up to reply. "Back to the emperor's words. The palace is very accustomed to eating people's women. She didn't dare to salute anymore. lest the emperor find fault and teach him a lesson.
Xu was Lin Yuan's actions that pleased Ji Zongya, and Ji Zongya smiled, "I said it was a family banquet. You don't have to be informal, just sit down and talk. ”
"Yes, Emperor Xie." Lin Yuan is as good as a stream, she is not so stupid that others sit on her and she has to stand.
Ji Zongyu continued, "It's good to get used to it, but I remember that this is the second time you've entered the palace, right?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes."
"Then how did you and Wen Guiren meet?" Ji Zongya asked without stopping.
Lin Yuan was stunned when she heard this, and then she sneered in her heart, the emperor is really hearty, and he still thinks that there is any selfishness between her and Wen Guiren?
However, she glanced at the emperor calmly, and replied, "Back to the emperor, the folk girl is also strange, the folk girl and Wen Guiren have never met, and they don't know each other at all, so the folk girl thought that Wen Guiren was in a panic in the morning and talked nonsense." As she spoke, she showed a confused look and cautiously glanced at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, you ask this, do you know why Wen Guiren is like this?" Is it that without the knowledge of the people's daughters, they have committed the taboo of nobles? ”
Ji Zongya's eyes flashed, and he wrote lightly, "Xu is Wen Guiren is unwell today, and he is upset and depressed before he talks nonsense." ”
The queen answered in a timely manner, "The concubine has gone to see the noble Wen, and her face is not very good, and the concubine has persuaded her to let the imperial doctor take a look." ”
Ji Zongya looked over, "Yes, don't go out and walk around if she is unwell, let the imperial doctor take care of it." After speaking, he stopped talking, and beckoned Bai Xian beside him to serve him with food.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.
Is this a ban on the feet of Wen Guiren? Have you given an explanation to Concubine Jiang?
However, she watched the emperor let herself go because of a few words of her wit, and couldn't help grinning at Ji Zongyu with white teeth.
She moved quickly and did not let others see clearly, but Ji Zongyu, who had been paying attention to her, naturally did not miss it.
Ji Zongyu blinked his long eyelashes, which were the envy of women, as if he was complimenting.
The emperor's meal time will not be short, Lin Yuan felt tired and panicked when he watched everyone eat slowly and logically under the leadership of the emperor, obviously eating is a great joy in life, but eating like this.
But she couldn't put the chopsticks in advance, so she could only hold the dishes without one chopstick.
Finally, the emperor put down the chopsticks, and Lin Yuan sat up straight, waiting for the emperor's final speech, and then he could disperse.
"These dishes are made by Miss Lin, and they really taste good. Yu'er will have a good mouth in the future. Ji Zongya smiled kindly, pointed to a few plates of Lin Yuan's dishes, and said.
Lin Yuan lowered her face appropriately, as if she was embarrassed to be praised.
"The emperor praises it, but it's strange to say, although this girl's craftsmanship is not as good as the imperial dining room, it also has a different flavor." Concubine Jiang also answered with pride on her face.
Ji Zongya smiled, "This is also Yu'er's blessing." He looked up at the sky outside, and said, "It's getting late, so let's rest early, and I'll go back." ”
It was also a lot of effort to send off the emperor, and it was necessary to salute, and it was necessary to wait until the figure could not be seen before getting up.
When the emperor really walked away, the three people in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the sound was not loud or small, but everyone heard it, and then the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Do you want to eat another bowl of noodles?" Concubine Jiang suddenly asked slightly mischievously.
Lin Yuan was stunned.
But Ji Zongyu said, "Okay." He looked at Lin Yuan, "Yuanyuan, go and show your hand seriously, and come to three bowls of noodles." ”
Lin Yuan understood, it seemed that not only did she taste the same as chewing wax before, but Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu didn't eat much.
She got up with a smile, "Okay, mother, just wait, it'll be fine in a while." ”
The three of them are equivalent to resuming dinner, and when they run out, it is already dark.
Ji Zongyu got up and said goodbye slowly.
Concubine Jiang stopped talking for a moment and nodded, "Go back early, it's late at night, be careful on the road." ”
Lin Yuan wondered, "It's okay for Cousin Yu to stay overnight." ”
Concubine Jiang sneered, "What kind of business, aren't you living here with me?" ”
Lin Yuan understood, and became even more depressed.
Ji Zongyu was reluctant to give up, but he still left the palace.
Lin Yuan thought that this was going to stop, but she had just finished freshening up and preparing for the twin beds, but Concubine Jiang came over.
"Yuanyuan, are you tired? If you're not tired, I'll talk to you. "Concubine Jiang was dressed in plain clothes, and her hair was also draped, and she had obviously just been combed.
Lin Yuan's heart jumped, what did Concubine Jiang want to tell her? (To be continued.) )
