Chapter 128: Gala 2
The feast was eaten for an hour.
The dishes are one by one to the top, the amount of each dish is not large, put in a delicate small plate, the amount of one or two bites, but you are asked to hold the tableware, pick and pick and eat for a long time.
I'm afraid that I won't notice a detail, and I will make a joke for others, almost every time I serve a dish, I want to see the high wisp next to me, the other aristocratic women on the other side, how they eat, and then think back to Mama Yang's teachings, so I dare to move.
Before I finished the meal, and I hadn't eaten much, I was already tired.
Today's clothes are particularly cumbersome and heavy, and it takes a lot of effort and thought to care about the softness and gentleness in the movements.
When I studied before, I wasn't so tired, sitting in the sun, eating for so long in vain, and my stomach was still empty.
Han Yunduo is helping me fan the wind on the side, but where am I fanning the wind, it won't be hot?
"Ning'er, are these meals still to your taste?"
Gao Wei suddenly spoke, wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at me eagerly, his words full of care.
"After returning to my mother, my son-in-law has already eaten!"
I put down the dishes and chopsticks, bowed slightly, and replied with a smile on my face.
What is the right taste, how can it be the right taste, even if it is the right taste, you want to trouble me, then it's not to find it?
"The queen mother is not used to eating at this banquet, and you are not used to eating it either, right?"
Gao Wei was still insisting, An Yi glanced at her, did not speak, and only drank with a wine glass.
"The banquet of the Winter Holy Day, the food is light, the soup is also nourishing, the children are familiar with it, and the queen mother prefers sweets, sauerkraut, spicy, this kind of taste, the mother doesn't like it, and it is natural."
I smiled and explained, how dare I express my opinion on this meal? The first time I participated, I ate whatever I wanted, and I couldn't compare to Gao Wei, and at this time, I had to pick thorns, and I had to pull me into the water.
"Ning'er knows me like that?"
Gao Wei looked surprised, as if she only knew that there was a person who knew her so well.
"Naturally, these days, I am in my own yard, because of my body, I can't go to the queen mother every day to say goodbye, my heart is terrified, thinking that I can't see you, I also want to know more about you, so I checked someone to invite the attendants around you, and inquired about it!"
Actually, I didn't ask anyone to inquire about anything, there were Han Yunduo and Han Feifei, the two of them, just one of them, sat next to me, quietly straightened up and listened for a while, what happened in the entire palace was clear.
Gao Wei is so picky and awkward, the subordinates who serve her inevitably talk about her preferences every day, and after listening to it twice, it is naturally clear.
"Oh-"
Gao Wei's eyes immediately became cold, and he turned around and glared coldly at the people who were serving behind him, just one glance, and the group of people immediately retreated tremblingly.
"Queen Mother, don't eat some raw meat or anything today, the emperor is still there, if they find out, even Sister Jingzhi was pulled out and cut down, I'm afraid it will affect us?"
My voice was not loud, my speed was not fast, I spoke leisurely, and by the way, I took a fruit from the fruit bowl on the table years ago, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, wrapped it in the handkerchief that Gao Wei gave me, and asked Han Feifei to deliver it to her.
"This fruit, although it is a little greener, but it is the Eastern Holy Fruit hand-picked by the emperor, can the queen mother taste it?"
As I spoke, I took one of my own, wiped it clean, and put it in my mouth with my face covered.
The fruit is not big, but it is very sour, the skin is a little thick, the core is also large, the flesh in the middle is only a little, but the sauce is a lot, if you are not careful, the core is also bitten, then the whole mouth, but it will become a bitter taste.
It's bitter and hard to swallow just thinking about it.
On the contrary, the emperor wants to make a good omen, a good reason, and say that this fruit is like this winter holy festival, here, everyone is equal, all are the same.
Life is small and sour, if you are not careful, you will taste the sweetness, only sour and astringent, and if you don't speculate, you will only be bitter.
Winter Saint Day provides a chance for everyone's bitter life, a chance to fly on the branches and become a phoenix.
This is the fruit that the emperor appointed five hundred years ago, no one dared to say anything about it, I handed it to Gao Wei, in front of her, swallowed one, to put it bluntly, I wanted to embarrass him.
When Han Yunduo was in the car, he told me that Gao Wei brought some bad things over today.
Last night, in her yard, there were two maidservants, and she was killed on trumped-up charges, and these two girls, their hearts, were in the box held by Jing Zhi.
I don't know if the box is still in her hands, but I know that the two girls died because of her last night.
Jingzhi wants to save her life, it is understandable, it is also her choice to help the abuse, so since this is the case, don't blame me for asking her trouble.
"The fruit given by Ning'er is naturally to be tasted!"
Gao Wei didn't move to pick it up, but Jing Zhi, who was kneeling at her feet, stood up and stretched out her hand to pick it up.
"Then why don't I feed my mother?"
Today, I just want to feed you directly, I just want to see how you feel and how you feel when you are forced to eat what you don't like to eat.
"You don't have toβ"
Gao Wei wanted to refuse, but was calmed by comfort.
An Yi slapped the wine glass directly on the table, still looking ahead, but his words were full of reproach, and they were all directed at Gao Wei: "If you let you eat, you will eat, what, what Ning'er said is not right, or you, the queen mother, are you disgusted with the things given by the child, are you afraid that it will be poisonous?" β
These words are directed towards me.
I was stunned, thinking that he would just look on coldly and not interfere in my argument with Gao Wei!
"Yesβ"
Gao Wei died of heart at this time, took the fruit handed over by Han Yunduo, and prepared to put it on the plate in front of him.
But her wrist was only a little off, and her comfortable gaze swept over coldly.
This time, she could only withdraw her hand, raise her sleeve, and eat the fruit.
I'm afraid that fruit is hard to swallow, right?
I looked at her uncomfortable but not easy to have a seizure, and my heart was happy, but before I could be happy for a while, she waved her hand and asked Jingzhi to give me a box.
"I know you love to eat the things here, so I specially left them for you and wanted to give them to you, do you like them?"
Han Yunduo took the box instead of me, put it in his sleeve, and stood silently aside.
"Thank you for the mother's note, my son is grateful-"
This woman just wants to break the net!
"The day you came, the queen mother saw that you really loved it, so ah, in the future, I will send someone to give you such a good thing!"
This sentence is obviously mentioned, what is in the box.
"But you want to open it and take a look?"
Without waiting for me to answer, she immediately asked.
