Chapter 44: The Feast
In the evening, an oracle came into Wutong Garden, and the cloud pleated hoof was amnesty, and Su Ningxue did not need to go to Yixian Ju on an errand again.
He was on the south side of the clouds.
Su Ningxue sent away her father-in-law who was passing the message, and fell on the bed decadently.
Could it be that people who shouldn't have intersected in the previous generation, no matter how hard she works in this life, there will be no intersection?
Pulling the quilt over her head, she breathed uncomfortably until Ling Hui came in again to speak.
"Miss, tonight is the queen's banquet, you are going to the banquet hall for dinner."
Su Ningxue was stunned, reluctantly crawled out of the bed, Mo Sang changed her clothes for her, Ling pulled her hair, everything was cleaned up, this time there was no Su Ningyu holding Su Jianwu to wait for her in the main courtyard. The queen invited all the female dependents, Su Jianwu didn't have to attend, Su Ningyu didn't wait to see Su Ningxue, so naturally it was impossible to wait for her.
Su Ningxue was happy to be alone, walked to the vicinity of the banquet hall, and saw Su Ningyu pulling a woman, not knowing what she was talking about, and laughing very happily.
She thought, it must be Su Ningyu who is a sycophant again, who can come to Lishan Palace, which one is not a person with a head and a face.
Su Ningxue didn't pay attention to it, but she didn't see it, entered the hall alone, and found a place to sit down.
After a while, the people were almost here, and Su Ningyu and the woman sat at the front of the first row. After the queen came in with Lan Guifei and others, side dishes were also served.
"Today's banquet has taken a lot of thought into the palace, and every dish is discussed with Concubine Lan, after all, once a year, the palace hopes everyone can like it." When the queen's words fell, Concubine Lan smiled and said:
"Yes, the queen is afraid that you won't be able to eat well, but even the local celebrity chef in Lishan has invited in."
Everyone had a grateful smile on their faces, and said in unison: "Queen Lao, the concubine is wasteful, thank you for your grace." β
"Let's be flat." Queen Gurjia Suqing said, and smiled and glanced at Lan Guifei, Lan Guifei raised her hand slightly, and a group of people walked in at the door, holding a big round bowl, many people were curious, but because of the bad etiquette, they could only discuss in a whisper with the people around them.
"Gee, what do you think that's that? It's delicious when you look at it. β
"I don't know, but I heard that fish is eating in the Lishan area, maybe it's fish."
"Really? It smells so good. β
The people around her discussed, Su Ningxue raised her head, and she was also full of curiosity, because of the taste of this dish, she had lived in ancient times for many years, and she felt a little unfamiliar.
Above, Gurjia Suqing was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and when the maids had already stood at the table one by one, she nodded lightly, and the maids put down the meal, Su Ningxue was so shocked that her jaw almost fell.
"This palace has ordered someone to investigate, and there is a fish diet in the Lishan area, and the most famous of them is this red oil fish fillet. This palace understands that usually everyone does not dare to eat spicy food easily for the sake of beauty, but today there is no need to worry, let go of eating, Concubine Lan has already ordered the imperial doctor to prepare a pharmacy, and turned back to relieve everyone. β
The queen said so, who is embarrassed to refuse. Everyone pretended to be smiling and sent them to their mouths one by one, but the red corners of their mouths and their tearful eyes betrayed them, and they were actually quite miserable.
Su Ningxue is no exception, she doesn't like spicy in modern times, and since ancient times, she has always been light, and such a spicy thing simply tests her stomach.
At the end of the meal, before the queen left, everyone was smiling, and when the queen walked away, almost everyone was helped out by the maid. Su Ningxue felt very uncomfortable, this kind of red oil and spicy food, she understood, it was particularly irritating to the stomach, so she walked out holding her stomach.
Su Ningyu stopped in front of her with a smile as if she was fine.
"Uncomfortable, isn't it? Can't stand it, right? Oh, you country girl, I thought you had a bad belly and could eat everything. Tut-tut, it seems that I have been pampered in my house for a few days. β
"Ningyu, what are you doing?" The woman who was with Su Ningyu before came over, Su Ningxue instinctively didn't like her very much, the woman glanced at Su Ningxue, and introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, I am the daughter of Guo Tian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Meimei." β
"Gross..."
Guo Meimei? Why don't you just call Guo Meiren?
Su Ningxue's stomach churned, she couldn't help but gause, she didn't dare to entangle with these two people anymore, and hurriedly pushed Su Ningyu away and walked out.
"Hey!" Su Ningyu was dissatisfied, Guo Meimei stepped forward to grab her, but hurriedly stuffed a bottle of medicine into her other hand, "You go back and take it with warm water, the queen mother is my stepmother, she knew that I couldn't stand these foods, so she gave me medicine in advance, don't worry, Ningyu ate it just now, it's okay." β
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Su Ningxue didn't think much about it, grabbed the medicine bottle, and was supported by Ling Mo Sang one after another, and finally returned to Wutong Garden.
Ling took warm water, Mo Sang hurriedly poured out the pill and sent it to Su Ningxue's mouth, Su Ningxue looked at it, and just about to eat it, there was another upside down in her stomach, she couldn't help it, pushed the two of them away, and rushed to the door and vomited.
She almost vomited after eating, and she sat down against the threshold, which made her feel much more comfortable.
"Ling, water."
"Yes, yes, miss, are you alright?"
Ling Mo Sang has been supporting and guarding behind her, and after being with Su Ningxue for so long, it is the first time to see Su Ningxue so uncomfortable, and the two of them are also distressed.
"It's fine." Su Ningxue shook her head weakly, returned to the house, carried the kettle and filled it with some warm water, feeling that her intestines were much warmer.
The pill fell to the ground, and after Su Ningxue vomited like this, the three of them also forgot about it, seeing Su Ningxue lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, Ling Mo Sang withdrew from the house, one stayed in the side room to keep vigil, and the other went back to the hut to rest.
In the middle of the night, Su Ningxue somehow got a little hot.
"Mosang." She called softly, and Mo Sang quickly got up, probed her forehead, and turned around to go out to call Ling.
In the middle of the night, it was impossible to ask the imperial doctor, Ling put on her clothes, and went to the kitchen to boil water in person, wanting to soak Su Ningxue to ward off the cold first, Mo Sang continued to stay by Su Ningxue's side.
In the middle of the night, Ling Hui thought that there was no one in the kitchen, but she saw that the light was on inside, and when she opened the door, Manhe lifted her skirt and lifted her clothes, and her face was full of ash.
"You'reβ"
"You have to take care of it! I'm telling you, I boiled this pot of water, so you don't have to make up your mind. β
Ling Hui probed into the pot, presumably Su Ningyu was not comfortable in the middle of the night, so Manhe was sent over, she looked at Manhe's hurried appearance, and then saw that there was not even a hot bubble in the pot, she really wouldn't have the idea of playing this pot of water.
I went to the side to scoop water into another pot, and skillfully went to the back to add firewood, and after a while her pot was steaming, Ling went outside to get a bucket of water, and when she returned to the house, she saw Manhe filling her pot with water.
"Hey! Why are you like this! I didn't touch your water, but you got up with me. Ling Hui ran over angrily and pushed her away, Man He is not a vegetarian, he is usually arrogant, he is busy at this time, his heart is angry, and he scooped a spoonful of water from the pot next door with a wave of his hand and splashed it on Ling Hui's body.
"Ahh Ling Hui screamed and retreated, Man He took the opportunity to fill two more spoonfuls of hot water, smashed the scoop at Ling Hui, and ran out with the bucket.
Ling Huan's body was soaked, the hot water in the pot was robbed again, she was afraid that Su Ningxue would not be able to stay up, so she had to make a fire again, heat the pot of water left by Man He, and bring it back.
"What's going on?" As soon as Mo Sang saw Ling coming back wet, he hurriedly got up and came over to pick it up. Ling Hui shook her head, not wanting to upset Su Ningxue, poured the water into the bucket, and helped serve Su Ningxue to take a bath, sitting in the hot bath bucket, Su Ningxue did not feel comfortable, but felt dizzy.
So after a while, she got up again, changed into a pair of underwear and went to sleep. He was about to lie down, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and in the next moment, the door was kicked open.
Su Ningxue moved her brows unhappily, turned around, and saw Su Ningyu's cheeks flushed, and she rushed over violently, grabbed her collar, and exhaled with an inneigible heat.
"It's you! It's you, right! You've already seen through it, and you're pretending to be weak to trick me? Su Ningxue! You have such a vicious heart! You're trying to ruin me! You want to ruin me, don't you! β
Su Ningxue questioned in a loud voice, her face was full of anger and despair, Su Ningxue's head was swollen by her noise, she shook off her hand a little hard, turned over, and continued to sleep face in.
"I don't understand what you're saying, let go of Ling Mosang, I want to go crazy and get out, I don't have time to pay attention to you today."
"Su Ningxue!"
Su Ningxue's indifferent attitude made Su Ningyu even more crazy, and she stood firm and pounced again.
"Miss!"
Ling Hui Mo Sang opened the clamp of Man He Shui Lu, and finally blocked in front of the bed in time, but Man He Shui Lu quickly got entangled again, Ling Hui blocked the bed stubbornly, not allowing others to touch Su Ningxue, Mo Sang was entangled with them, and the two tried their best to protect Su Ningxue, but this noise made Su Ningxue even more headache and unbearable.
"Enough! Get out of here! Su Ningxue got up and roared angrily.
The room was quiet, Ling Mo Sang was still in front of the bed, Manhe Shui Lu was supporting Su Ningyu, Su Ningyu could only be faintly heard sobbing in the room, she was holding Manhe's arm, and her body was trembling.
Su Ningxue frowned, as if she sensed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with her?"
"You're embarrassed to ask, you drugged in water, you deliberately wanted to harm our miss, what kind of good person are you pretending to be now!" Tears fell from the water. Su Ningxue looked at Ling Hui, Ling Hui quickly said about the kitchen, and Su Ningxue barely pulled the corners of her mouth.
"You grabbed the water, don't you think it's ridiculous to come to me now to settle accounts?"
"Who knows if you did it on purpose, you justβ"
Without waiting for Manhe to finish speaking, Su Ningyu's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his hand unconsciously pulled the clothes on his body. Su Ningxue had already guessed that something was wrong with Su Ningyu, she was not so kind to save someone who had done against her again and again.
"Get out, I didn't hurt her, and I can't save her. If you really feel sorry for her, you should quickly find a way to save her, instead of spilling it on me. β
Su Ningxue lay down, and once again covered the quilt with her face in, but her hand pressed on her gradually hot skin, and her eyes were cold.
