Chapter 118: Jealousy
Like last year, the palace banquet was divided into two sides, but for their family, it was the mobilization of the whole family.
The Cai Dacheng brothers took their two children to the Qianqing Palace, while Zhao Jiao went to the Kunning Palace alone.
Zhao Jiao came early today, and several heavyweights such as Princess Cheng, Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Wei Guohou Li were not present.
Of course, the queen, the crown princess, Princess Qinghe and others must be the last to enter.
She walked alone to her seat and sat down, pretending to sip tea.
In fact, she just knows that this is a cup of tea, and if you ask her to say something, then I'm sorry, she feels that she is a rough person in her bones, and she can't taste it.
She looked at the seat, and it seemed that the eyes of the palace people had opened this year, and Princess Cheng, who was sitting above her, was a separate seat, and the seat she started was probably Mrs. Tan, and then there was Princess Cheng and her younger sister-in-law, Princess Minjun.
On the opposite side should be Princess Qinghe, Mrs. Wei Guohou and others.
Just as she was thinking, someone came over to greet her, and it turned out to be Mrs. Chen.
Looking at her face, she should have lived a very comfortable life this year, and she can no longer see the arrogance and meanness when she first met, and her face is actually rounder.
"It turned out to be Madame, your complexion is really good, much better than in the New Year, like two people, you look at least ten years younger, you are twenty-five now?" Zhao Jiao asked jokingly.
Mrs. Chen was overjoyed by her praise, and scolded with a smile: "You skin monkey, you know how to entertain me!" ”
"Don't you believe it? Look at me, I'm about to become a black-faced woman! As he spoke, he pinched his cheeks with his right hand.
"You!" Mrs. Chen shook her head, and just wanted to continue, another one came, and she hurriedly greeted the other party.
Zhao Jiao looked at it, and it turned out to be talking about the old lady.
She hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Mrs. Tan smiled and chatted with the two, and her attitude was very enthusiastic, which was diametrically opposed to last year.
When Mrs. Li and the others arrived, the queen took the crown princess and Princess Qinghe into the palace.
Everyone was busy paying homage, and then they found a seat according to their rank.
Princess Qinghe didn't bring her son this year, after all, she had to avoid suspicion when she was older, but her daughter continued to take her with her.
Princess Cheng, who was in the head, didn't seem to be in good health, and her face was pale and thinner.
Zhao Jiao, who has nothing to do with herself, doesn't have a big idea, so she focuses on the delicacies in front of her at the banquet, tasting it attentively, and her heart is the same.
But what she didn't know was that because of her high profile and many other matters, she had been hated by others, and this person was the crown princess!
At last year's palace banquet, Zhao Jiao slapped the palace maid in public, but the palace maid was a person in her palace.
Since someone in the palace was made into a raft, she was also very aggrieved, but unfortunately no one understood her.
Afterwards, not only did the queen punish her, but the emperor also rarely sent someone to pass the word, so that she could have a sense of the overall situation.
And the crown prince Changzai, just for such a little thing, almost took away her power!
She confessed it! Who told himself to do things on a business trip?
But after that, everything didn't go well for most of the year.
First of all, the prince took a few concubines one after another, but he didn't come to his bedroom for a long time, in his words, it was to dry!
Then his mother's brother bought a shop, and he originally negotiated a good thing, but the other party actually broke the appointment and resold it to Cai Ercheng, which is now a nameless study.
You said that if you sell it high, forget it, but the main family actually sold it by one layer in order to tie up with Cai Dacheng!
Her identity as a crown princess is actually not as good as a mud leg?
And then there is the prince, since the woman came back, she has repeatedly praised her in front of her son that she can teach her son, and let herself, as the crown princess, learn how to raise a peasant woman!
The most excessive thing is that Cai Ercheng did it on purpose, right?
The three newly opened shops are all next to or opposite her and her mother's shop, this is to fight with her Wang family?
Now her dowry shop in the south of the city, the two-story teahouse is actually covered by a study and has no business, no one believes it!
And the same is true for the bookstore in the heart of the city!
The same happened to the bookstore opened by Chengbei's mother's family.
When the banquet was about to begin, the prince actually told her in a rare way, be careful not to offend the Duchess of Changguo!
With such a solemn order, did you missee the identity of the other party?
The other party is the crown princess and she Wang Miaotong is Mrs. Clay Legs? At that time, she really wanted to blurt it out.
But she couldn't! Gotta bear with it!
So when she saw Zhao Jiao at this time, she was bored when she saw it in her heart.
Such a nasty ghost, a tasteless woman, she actually has to hold it for a long time!
Zhao Jiao didn't know this, she didn't know at all, this prince was so good at helping her pull hatred!
At this time, she was tasting a rare seafood, a plate of cold dishes - jellyfish!
Is this really a palace banquet specification dish?
Although it was a very common cold dish in the previous life, it is different here, the goods from the north and the south are not interconnected in most cases, and there are not many chefs who can cook it because of taste problems or lack of knowledge in the inland area.
A small plate, she actually finished eating!
Mama Lan, who was standing behind her, was startled, this thing will be poisoned if someone can't eat it!
Madame ate so much for the first time, what if something happens?
And then continued to walk the dishes, tasting one by one, Zhao Jiao didn't dare to eat more, she ate two chopsticks on each plate, and when the banquet was about to end, she still ate it!
She estimated that there were few women who could eat her, and few who could eat as much as she did, regardless of the occasion!
Until the end, the whole banquet was calm, and Zhao Jiao's heart that had been carrying it was completely put down.
It's a pity that she still had a problem at the end of the banquet, and she had a lot of small bumps on her face and body, and she was poisoned!
This was discovered by him when he saw Cai Dacheng, but it was only then that he appeared.
Cai Dacheng set up a horse in exchange for the imperial doctor, he didn't know what was going on with Zhao Jiao, he had to figure out what kind of poison he had to do, if he went home and treated him alone, what if he missed the rash and delayed the condition?
When the crown princess heard that Zhao Jiao had an accident again, she was so angry that she threw everything she could in her hand!
Poisoning? Everyone else is fine, but she is poisoned alone? Is this a joke on her?
After the diagnosis and treatment of many imperial doctors, it was finally diagnosed that Zhao Jiao was actually poisoned by seafood!
Zhao Jiao was a little crazy when she heard this result!
She also thought about asking Cai Dacheng to get some seafood from the prince to eat after the banquet to satisfy her hunger!
Will she not have access to delicious seafood in the future? The answer, of course, is yes!
The medical conditions in this era are relatively backward, and such a thing can only be avoided as much as possible.
Zhao Jiao thought that last year's banquet might have offended the queen and the crown princess because of her slap, and this year she was poisoned again!
She's determined to get along with those two, right? Isn't it that many heads are not afraid of cutting off heads?
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiao looked at Cai Dacheng aggrievedly.
Cai Dacheng felt uncomfortable after that, so she quickly asked her to take medicine to go back to rest early, and it was not convenient to check the injury outside.
"You talk to the prince, I hope he doesn't blame the princess, I really didn't know I had a seafood allergy." Zhao Jiao hurriedly asked Cai Dacheng to find Chang Zai, this matter has to be explained clearly!
Fortunately, her symptoms were mild and she went down three days later.
After she got it, she sent someone into the palace as soon as possible to post it, hoping that the princess would understand!
The princess's reply was timely, but she didn't let her go, just let her take care of her body at home with peace of mind, and the prince helped her intercede, and she was not to blame for this!
Actually, it's weird! Although the prince got Cai Dacheng's relay, he still couldn't understand why she made such a dish on the table!
The crown princess said that she was also very aggrieved! No matter what kind of dish, everyone has a different physique, there will always be this and that, unless there is no banquet!
