Every year from January to winter, the minions of the various divisions and rooms of the palace are very busy, and then in January, the New Year's Festival is coming, in the palace that pays the most attention to etiquette and form, the reunion night when the masters get together every year must not be hastily arranged, and its cumbersomeness is definitely no less than a new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

In this palace, there is a lot of clamoring for what kind of new clothes to add, and there is a lot of noise in that palace about changing the antique ornaments produced in which year and which dynasty, and the auspicious jewelry of the concubines every year is the emperor's custom, and the meal list that cannot be repeated with the previous year Chinese New Year's Eve meal......

Everyone who made the request was a famous nobleman, in order not to offend people, that time the same thing was sloppy, and the female officials and attendants of the Internal Service Bureau frowned rarely, and they didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and they still couldn't think of any ingenious new flowers.

The tiring hard work is taken care of by the minions, and the masters only have to talk about ideas and opinions, and they don't have to worry about these things at all, and they don't fall behind at all when they should enjoy it.

Today's banquet is the first time that Yu Zhao has appeared in front of the official crowd after the ban has been lifted, in order to support her, Chu Zikai also tried his best to spare some time, and rarely accepted the invitation to come over and sit on the table, but in the face of the wine and food in front of him, he was a little absent-minded, and secretly put all his thoughts on the unhandled court affairs.

Getting together to talk about the reason for drinking, whether it is to enjoy the flowers or celebrate someone's birthday, Yu Zhao doesn't care at all, the focus of her whole heart at this time is all on the dishes on that table.

Regardless of whether the meat and vegetables are hot or cold, every taste, Yu Zhao seems to feel that it tastes much more delicious than before, and the chopsticks in her hand have never stopped since she picked them up, and she has not raised her eyes to put aside all the noisy activities picked up by the concubines, and she eats happily.

After three rounds of drinking, singing and dancing, smiling and laughing, only Yu Zhao was the only one who was isolated from the hustle and bustle, she only concentrated on holding chopsticks and tasting the meat on the fish bone with relish, turning her head from time to time, just to look at Chu Zikai.

Every time he looked over, he saw Chu Zikai with his eyes down and his brows locked, Yu Zhao knew that his expression was still worried about political affairs, and he couldn't bear to be a little distressed, and it was not good to show his concern in person, so his eyes fell on Feng Yun who was standing next to Chu Zikai.

"Feng waiter......" Yu Zhao suppressed his voice and quietly shouted, Feng Yun waited for him to look at him suspiciously, and then pointed to a case of winter bamboo shoot chicken soup on the table in front of Chu Zikai, raised his head and motioned for him to serve a bowl to Chu Zikai.

"The minions obeyed,"

Who doesn't want to do the work that can be begged for, Feng Yun hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to fill a bowl of soup, and knelt in front of Chu Zikai. "Your Majesty, please use it."

The bitter thought was interrupted, Chu Zikai withdrew his thoughts, and looked at the bowl of soup that Feng Yun scooped for himself for no reason, and was about to ask a question, but he heard Feng Yun take the lead in currying favor with the report: "Your Majesty, this is Concubine Yi, Niangniang, Nian Nian, Your Majesty, worried about the government, and specially ordered the servants to offer." ”

The moment he heard this, Chu Zikai only felt extremely relieved, and instantly stretched the furrow on his brows, unwilling to live up to Yu Zhao's good intentions, he hurriedly took the soup bowl, and looked in her direction with a smile, wanting to show her that he was moved and happy in his heart.

But seeing that Yu Zhao didn't appreciate it, don't look over it to enjoy the singing and dancing, and pretended to be a tsundere who didn't know what was going on. But he couldn't control his eyes and looked at Chu Zikai with his peripheral vision, and he couldn't help but collide with his gaze, and his face couldn't help but appear panicked for a moment.

The warmth flowed secretly, Chu Zikai's heart felt slightly sweet, and he received the kindness given to him by this person who was cold on the outside and soft on the inside, and he didn't dismantle Yu Zhao's deliberate disguise of indifference, and after drinking the bowl of soup, he praised:

"This bowl of soup is really sweet, and when I drink it in winter, I feel warm from my heart to my body."

As if playing dumb riddles, Chu Zikai was praising Yu Zhao's heart-warming move, but the person who received the praise always liked to look cold, unwilling to admit that he felt sorry for him, as if it was none of his business, he didn't make any response, and continued to bury his head in eating.

Leng Buding listened to the noisy banquet, there was a laugh, it was Concubine Ling who smiled lightly, and smiled at everyone: "It seems that the minions in the dining room today deserve to be rewarded, and the dishes they make are not only praised by Your Majesty, but also the appetite of Concubine Yi's sister." ”

From Concubine Ling's words, everyone noticed that at this time, looking at the upper and lower seats, only the dishes on the table in front of Yu Zhao were mostly empty.

You must know that the Da Chu women take the slender and soft body as the standard of beauty from home, and the official ladies pay special attention to the charm of the posture, one by one, they have controlled the amount of food since they were young and raised a graceful posture, and they have raised their stomachs to be mediocre and small, and they really can't find a few people who have tasted half a table of dishes in one meal.

"It's not ......"

It was rare to find a joke from Yu Zhao, Zhang Shurong couldn't help but open her mouth to echo and ridicule, stretched her neck and glanced at Yu Zhao's table, and then quipped:

"Look at my sister's table, there are no plates that are full, the fish plates and dishes are mostly empty, and I just saw that you added two bowls of soup and half a bowl of wine-stuffed balls, so eat them like this...... "Aren't you afraid of panic?"

The last sincere sentence was about to blurt out, Zhang Shurong gritted her teeth and tightened her mouth, before swallowing the words back into her stomach, casually laughing, and laughing:

"It's okay, there are still a lot of meals prepared in the dining room, so the concubine will order someone to serve them for you."

With these secretly interesting words, snickering came from the banquet, how can a person with a good face like Yu Zhao have an appetite to eat anymore, the chopsticks in his hand were so embarrassed that he paused in mid-air, looking at the half-empty plates in front of the table, and he didn't know how to start.

In the end, for the sake of face, Yu Zhao had to turn around and put a pair of chopsticks in his mouth, because only this plate can be considered full.

What made Yu Zhao feel strange was that today she actually felt that the vinegar that she had avoided in the past was extraordinarily delicious, and she had eaten so much, but her appetite did not mean to subside at all, and she was embarrassed to pick up the chopsticks again, so she could only look at the half-wiped steamed sea bass in front of her, and swallowed her saliva aggrievedly.
