Lin Yuqing returned to Yuming Palace worriedly. What Shang Chongyuan asked her to do, in her opinion, was simply impossible. However, if you have a handle in the hands of others, even if you can't do it, you must find a way to do it, otherwise......

"Hey~", Lin Yuqing thought that the lives of his family of three were all in the hands of one person, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This night, Lin Yuqing was always surrounded by boring emotions, and he was in a daze, and he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

The palace maids and eunuchs who serve the emperor in Yuming Palace all follow the emperor in their work and rest time. However, Lin Yuqing has a full-time errand in Yuming Palace, which is to help the emperor test all the things that he wants to enter. Therefore, she doesn't have to get up so early like the palace maids who served the emperor in the early dynasty. When the emperor went down to the court and had dinner, it was time for her to start working.

"Hey, Shen Xiu, it's time to get up, the emperor is about to go down."

Chen Xiurong looked at Shen Xiu, who was still sleeping luxuriously, and was dissatisfied. Although Chen Xiurong treats her palace maids a little harshly, she is not the kind of person who makes things difficult, on the contrary, if anyone does something wrong, she will still help on the side.

Lin Yuqing was stabbed in the waist by a hard thing, and only felt a burst of pain, although it was not a heart-piercing pain, but this pain was enough to wake her up from her sleep.

She opened her eyes and saw that Chen Xiurong was holding a small wooden stick supporting her clothes, and she was saying good morning to herself very unceremoniously.

Lin Yuqing was originally angry about getting up, and he didn't like to be woken up from his sleep.

At first, she trimmed her eyebrows and pouted, with a look of reluctance. However, seeing Chen Xiurong's expression of waking up even more terrifying than herself, she hurriedly got off the ground with a bone. She was still very unsteady and swayed twice.

Lin Yuqing was blindfolded and shouted respectfully, "Aunt Chen, morning." ”

Chen Xiurong snorted, "Early? The sun is all in the ass, it's still early. Although everyone has a role, your duty, of course, is not necessarily to follow the emperor's schedule and rest time, but, at least everyone gets up, in order to serve the emperor when you prepare, you should also prepare early, right, you can't let the emperor wait for our slaves? ”

"Yes, Shen Xiu wrote it down."

Lin Yuqing endured the drowsiness that kept attacking her sleep nerves, and her eyes were red. She can also see that this person named Chen Xiurong, although he is the palm of Yuming Palace, has a lot of control. Even her aunt of the same level, who was in charge of the meal and the lamp, was a little in awe of her, which really made Lin Yuqing confused about the situation.

Chen Xiurong was not very satisfied, but still nodded and asked Lin Yuqing to freshen up, so that he could serve the emperor as soon as possible.

Lin Yuqing said again and again that her current identity has no way to confront Chen Xiurong, so she can only obey her words.

Before the emperor's reign, she was arranged to eat at the emperor's place. There is a very large dining table here, the big one makes Lin Yuqing dumbfounded, and it is estimated that fifty people are sitting around the table, which is too spacious. How many dishes does a person have to eat to get such a large table.

However, she just thought about it, standing alone in a corner of the room, looking at the endless stream of palace maids and eunuchs, holding the dinner plate, putting down the dishes, and then turning around and walking out of the room. Lin Yuqing secretly counted to himself, and there were more than a hundred people who came in and out.

When the meal was arranged, the emperor also went down to the court, just returned to Yuming Palace, ready to eat.

Meng Tan saw Lin Yuqing, who was standing in a corner, looking lonely, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, go straight to the top of the dining table and sit down, just sit down quietly, without moving the dishes and chopsticks.

After a while, Xiao Song walked up to Lin Yuqing's side, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "What are you still doing here?" The emperor is going to eat, you are a palace maid who tests drugs, and you want to be the first to try the dishes. ”

This is the first time Lin Yuqing has exercised her duties, and she probably knows that testing the poison palace maid is the first time to try it before the emperor eats, but no one told her when she did it. Therefore, she did not dare to move at will.

Now, since Komatsu said so, she dared to move.

So, she moved to the table step by step, picked up a pair of dishes and chopsticks, added a random dish, and put it in her mouth.

Before he could chew it, he heard Komatsu preach again: "You are too fast!" Didn't eat breakfast, did you come to the emperor to eat? You don't have to ask if the emperor wants to eat the dishes you just ate. ”

Lin Yuqing chewed while winking at Xiao Song and the emperor suspiciously. She looked a little aggrieved, but she couldn't say anything.

After eating the food in her mouth, she was bold and respectfully bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the slave knows her mistake. I don't know which dish the emperor wants to eat first? ”

Although Lin Yuqing said that she knew her mistakes, she was resentful in her heart.

The slightest dissatisfaction in her eyes made Meng Tan see it clearly.

Meng Tan smiled, but said in a very cold tone: "Anyway, you have to taste one side, I mean that you eat that, it's too much waste of time." Take your liking! ”

At first glance, it sounds like the emperor doesn't want to delay more in the matter of dining, but only Xiao Song understands that the emperor is favoring Shen Xiu.

However, at the beginning, Xiao Song was so strict with Lin Yuqing, and he also did it for others to see. Now that the emperor has spoken, he will shut up.

So, Lin Yuqing unscrupulously kept tasting the food, starting from the closest place to the emperor and slowly walking to a distant place.

Then, Xiao Song followed Lin Yuqing's footsteps, picked up two or three times in each dish he tasted, put it in the bowl, and then walked to the emperor, and then put the dish in the emperor's bowl. Komatsu sandwiches every dish very evenly, and the emperor's attitude towards each dish is the same, so I can't tell which one she likes.

Lin Yuqing is not as particular as the emperor, when she sees the dishes she likes to eat, she will clip a little more, and if she doesn't like to eat, she will have less. Although, she still weighed the amount of food in her stomach, and she was not too greedy to eat too much. However, these dozens of dishes together were an astonishing amount, and when she tasted more than fifty dishes, she was already a little unable to walk.

She picked up a mouthful of food and tried to put it in her mouth, but after trying a few times, she still gave up. She felt that if she lowered her head and bent over, she would be able to spit out the food in her stomach.

She really couldn't eat it anymore, she wanted to kneel down with the emperor for instructions, but she couldn't kneel.

"Your Majesty, slaves and maids should die. Slaves, really, can't eat anymore. ”

Lin Yuqing was shy, his face facing up, just like a person from above looking at the people below, very arrogant. But anyone who sees her eyes knows how frightened she is now. When she felt that she had eaten enough, she originally wanted to tell the emperor that she was powerless, and when she thought of the old and the young in the cold palace, as well as the person who would hurt the lives of the people she cared about at any time, she could only bite the bullet and taste a few more dishes, and now, she really can't hold on.
