Chapter 304: The Operation Begins

"Eldest princess, what kind of dish is this, why have I never seen it?" After the emperor announced that the dishes were served, the imperial dining room served the dishes one by one.

He Jingjing didn't have any great interest in the other dishes, but there was only one dish, which was actually an insect that looked like a white silkworm, although it had been fried and golden, He Jingjing still felt a little panicked.

But looking at the behavior of the people around me, it seems that this insect is very popular.

"This is a limited supply of fried bamboo worms every year in the Imperial Dining Room. The eldest princess looked at He Jingjing's reaction and explained.

"Normal people will be surprised when they see this dish for the first time, and I refused it the first time I ate it, but it tastes really good, you must try it. ”

The eldest princess began to highly recommend this fried bamboo worm.

He Jingjing actually does not reject eating insects, and even appreciates the high protein of insects very much, but that terrible appearance makes He Jingjing a little unacceptable, and he can't understand why some people think insects are cute.

Although these bamboo insects are now dead, He Jingjing still rejected the eldest princess.

"Forget it, I'll just watch you eat. He Jingjing knew that the nutritional value of insects was very high, but she still couldn't get through that hurdle in her heart.

"You taste it, it's really delicious. As she spoke, the eldest princess set up a fried bamboo worm, dipped it in salt and pepper, and put it in her mouth.

The eldest princess enjoyed eating this fried bamboo worm very much, and He Jingjing still felt a little unacceptable.

"Does it taste really good?" He Jingjing looked at the eldest princess suspiciously, it seemed that this fried bamboo worm was quite difficult to chew.

"Of course, you can try it quickly!" The eldest princess put another bamboo worm in He Jingjing's bowl.

"This fried bamboo insect is a limited amount of food in the palace every year, and many princes and ministers also ask the emperor to reward some. ”

After the eldest princess touted the bamboo insect for a while, He Jingjing decided to pluck up the courage to give it a try.

There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a section of high protein, and it's fried thoroughly, He Jingjing closed her eyes and stuffed one in her mouth.

The moment He Jingjing tasted it, the whole person was amazed. This is a taste that I have never felt before!

The skin on the outside is not as crispy as imagined, but very chewy, and the inside is very tender, viscous and soft and tough, exuding the fragrance of bursts of bamboo, He Jingjing can't stop.

He Jingjing tried the sauce prepared by the imperial dining room again, and found that it was not as good as the original flavor, and He Jingjing is now completely in love with this little insect that doesn't look very good.

After eating and drinking, He Jingjing was ready to leave and return to Linzhou Mansion, after all, the emperor just wanted to participate in the preliminary examination of the concubine selection ceremony by himself, and now that the preliminary examination is over, He Jingjing still has a lot of things to do in Linzhou Mansion.

"County Lord, the emperor is invited. He Jingjing was about to leave the palace with the eldest princess, when a eunuch stepped forward and said to He Jingjing.

He Jingjing took a closer look, this eunuch was serving in front of the emperor during the banquet just now, and it should be right that he came to give the order.

"I'll wait for you at home first. The eldest princess patted He Jingjing on the shoulder, then got into the carriage and left to return to the princess's mansion.

He Jingjing was a little curious, isn't this already over? Why did he still leave himself alone?

He Jingjing followed the eunuch to the familiar upper study, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince smiling and saying something.

Why are these two people in such a good mood? But He Jingjing thought about the possible unhappiness between Concubine Yan Ruyu and Cai Shishi again, and He Jingjing became happy again.

"Sit. "The emperor gave He Jingjing a seat, although He Jingjing was already sitting in the position before the throne.

"The widow just saw that you couldn't wait to leave as soon as the banquet ended, where are you going?"

The emperor squinted at He Jingjing and said with a smile, The He family raised his eyebrows, isn't this obvious enough?

"Your Majesty, we said yes, I will be free after the preliminary examination of the concubine selection ceremony, don't rely on the debt. ”

Seeing He Jingjing talking to himself like a little hedgehog, the emperor was angry and funny, and he couldn't lose his temper.

"You girl, why are you in such a hurry, don't leave during this time, stay in the capital, it just so happens that everything in the eldest princess's mansion is complete, and you should be very comfortable to live in." ”

The emperor restricted He Jingjing's freedom without saying a word, and He Jingjing naturally didn't do it.

"Why, Your Majesty, you are a king, much higher than a gentleman, and a gentleman is difficult to chase after a word, why did you go back on your word in a blink of an eye?"

He Jingjing's words were not shocking, and she was stunned by the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, and she couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, you came here to watch a good show, why are you in a hurry to leave when the show has just begun?" The emperor glanced at He Jingjing with disgust.

This girl is good at everything, but it's very bad that she is in a hurry to leave the capital.

"Sister Huang, our plan has just begun, if you leave, you will miss a lot of good shows, you better stay. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor sang black face and white face alone, leaving He Jingjing behind.

He Jingjing is actually very curious about what kind of medicine these two people sell in their gourds, and it doesn't cost a penny to stay and eat and drink for nothing, He Jingjing doesn't need to make his own efforts, who doesn't want to watch a good show?

In the end, He Jingjing successfully persuaded herself to come to the capital for a vacation, and wrote a letter to bring home, after all, she came over in a hurry, and if she didn't wear a letter to her family, she was afraid that her family would be cranky again.

After arranging everything, He Jingjing left the upper study and returned to the eldest princess's mansion.

After coming back, He Jingjing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the eldest princess's state, and the eldest princess didn't ask herself why the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince were looking for her in the past, He Jingjing had a question in her heart.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, I don't know something. He Jingjing couldn't hold it back, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and finally got up and came to the eldest princess's room.

"I knew you girl was coming to me. The eldest princess got up, yawned, and said to He Jingjing with a smile.

"Are you waiting for me so late?" He Jingjing asked curiously.

The eldest princess nodded, and then pulled He Jingjing to sit at the table.

"Ask whatever you want. The eldest princess asked He Jingjing with a smile.

"After today's end, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me, but they didn't say anything, just let me stay in the capital to watch the play, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourds of these two people?"

In He Jingjing's curious eyes, the eldest princess shook her head.
