Chapter 48: Crisis
"The Emperor's γγγγγγ"
Annan lowered his head and walked in.
"No, I didn't announce you, why did you come in?"
"That, Your Majesty, a slave is a capital offense. But when it's time for lunch, if the minions don't come in and spread the word, then γγγγγγ β
"I see. Then I'll have lunch here today. β
"Slaves obey γγγγγγ"
After a while, a dozen eunuchs walked in, and they brought a table and a chair. There were about ten eunuchs who served the dishes in the back, and they put the dishes on the table one after another. Annan picked up a silver chopstick, picked one of each dish, and then looked at the chopsticks seriously. A palace maid held a pot of flower petal water and knelt in front of the emperor. The emperor sat on the chair, soaked his hands in water, washed them, took the towel brought by Annan, and wiped it clean.
I suddenly felt my stomach rumble and looked at the dishes on the table, which was nothing short of painful. No matter, I'll eat it first. Then I moved a stool and sat opposite the emperor.
Annan's face suddenly darkened with fright, "This! Girl! Girl! Girl! This...... This...... This is reluctant! β
I was also taken aback by Annan's move, "What's wrong?" β
"Girl, get up! In the Qinzheng Palace, no one can eat at the same table with the emperor! β
"No, not even the Empress Dowager?"
"Yes, girl! This is a capital offense! Get up quickly, and the minions will help you. β
"I don't want it!"
I pushed Annan away, my stomach was gurgling, I had been in the Yun Dynasty for so long, and it was the first time I had seen such a delicious delicacies. Can I let go of a foodie?
"Your Majesty, this γγγγγγ"
The emperor just smiled and didn't speak.
"Girl! Hurry upγγγγγγ β
"I don't want it!" I picked up my chopsticks and took a bite of the dish and put it in my mouth. Wow! What is this delicious? The entrance is spicy and tender, with a hint of sweetness.
Annan's face changed again, "The girl is reluctant!" β
"Youγγγγγγ Don't make any noise, the emperor didn't say anythingγγγγγγ β
I don't want to talk to Annan anymore, I'm feasting.
The emperor said, "Let her go, Annan." β
"Your Majesty, this is the ancestral systemγγγγγγ"
"I am the ancestral γγγγγγ"
"But, if the Empress Dowager knowsγγγγγγ"
The emperor said angrily: "Are your heads all wood? If you don't say, can grandma know? β
"Yes yes yes γγγγγγ"
"I tell you, today's events, whoever dares to say it and go out to see, I will cut off his head!"
"Really?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone suddenly asked behind him. I was shocked with the emperor, what is this voice?
I immediately stood up and knelt down. The emperor also stood up, "Grandma, why are you here?" β
"Slaves and maids see the Empress Dowagerγγγγγγ" I'm still chewing in my mouth and talking a little weirdly.
The Empress Dowager had a blue face, and the Empress was supporting her, and her face was not very good-looking.
"Humph! If the mourning family doesn't come, this diligent palace will have a different owner, right? β
The emperor hurriedly said, "Grandma, I γγγγγγ β
"Emperor, what did you just say, let them not tell the mourning family, otherwise they will behead them, right? According to the mourning family, the mourning family beheaded this Kaiman first! Look at her can still be so proud! β
"Grandma, it's none of Catman's business."
"It's none of her business? Emperor, the ancestral system is the ancestral system, and it cannot be violated! This palace maid eats at the same table with the emperor, what are the rules? Where is this? It's the Diligent Palace! It is one of the places where the imperial power of the Yun Dynasty is most concentrated! Even the mourning family, even the queen can't eat with the emperor! She's a little palace maid, does she want to rebel? β
The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more excited she became, and she slammed the golden cane to the ground, and the entire Qinzheng Hall reverberate.
The queen said, "Grandma, I think of her first offenseγγγγγγ β
"What first offense? Who in the palace doesn't know the rules here? Pull it down, slash! βγ
I raised my head suddenly, and the emperor was also shockedγγγγγγ
