The ladies all exploded.

Everyone whispered, nothing more than saying that they didn't dare to eat.

However, Shen Ningning tasted it without any different colors.

It's salt-and-pepper flavored.

However, it is not as good as the sister-in-law Liu in their village.

The fried locusts made by Liu's sister-in-law are often golden and crispy, sprinkled with salt and pepper and a little chili noodles, and they are fragrant and can't find the north.

This is done in the palace, which can only be said to be average.

Shen Ningning pouted while eating: "The taste is ordinary." ”

The ladies around her looked at her so brave and bold, and they all gasped and widened their eyes.

Among the ladies at the same table as Shen Ningning, the first to move chopsticks was Liang Yici.

Her face was tight, and when she was serious, she looked like Fang Qingdai.

I saw Liang Yici eat three in succession, and after chewing for a while, he nodded slightly.

"It tastes okay, and when I lived with my mother on the frontier in the past, I used to eat fried grasshoppers."

When the ladies heard her words, they gasped again.

Seeing that Liang Yici had moved his chopsticks, Ye Shangyi no longer twisted, tasted a few, but nodded sincerely.

"It's better than I expected."

Qi Xiuwei looks the most timid and weak, she has only been recovering from a serious illness for two years, and her face is still pale at this time, and the blood on her lips is rouge.

I saw her looking at the plate of fried locusts in front of her, her eyes flashing, and she seemed to hesitate.

Shen Ningning understood her personality, so she took the initiative to say: "Xiaowei, if you can't get used to eating, don't force yourself." ”

Qi Xiuwei shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Shen Ningning, and a gentle and shy smile bloomed on her lips.

"I've eaten it at home, and the chef is all mashed, mixed with pepper, and mixed with lotus root, and the taste is fragrant."

The rest of the ladies: ......

They really admired Shen Ningning's table very much!

No wonder they sat together.

However, Shen Ningning and the others were not afraid, but the people at the table next door to Mo Zhirou covered their mouths and noses and frowned with some disgust.

"I can't eat it, not because it tastes bad, but because I think it's cruel." Mo Zhirou sighed.

Concubine Qi was amused: "Why is it cruel? ”

Mo Zhirou stood up, her posture as weak as a willow: "Niangniang, in order to ensure the taste of locusts, the courtiers heard that they all threw them into the oil pot to cook while they were alive, and died in a vivid moment. ”

"When she thought that they were also life, she couldn't get out of her mouth...... I'd rather go hungry than eat locusts. ”

Ye Xiangyi's eyes were about to turn to the sky.

"Miss Mo, according to what you say, the crops that the locusts eat are all deserved, and even the farmers who grow the crops are not worth pity?"

Liang Yici hugged her arms, frowned, and became more straightforward: "It's really hypocritical." ”

Qi Xiuwei was timid and didn't dare to echo it directly, but she also nodded silently: "Hmm!" ”

Shen Ningning sneered instead.

The four of them sang and harmonized, and the angry Mo Zhirou clenched his fingertips under his sleeves.

"I didn't mean that, Miss Ye, don't get me wrong...... "Mo Zhirou Ai Ai seemed to have been wronged.

Seeing this, the lady beside her stood up and spoke for Mo Zhirou.

"Sister Zhirou is not wrong, aren't all locusts killed alive? The crops are lifeless. ”

Ye Sheng slapped the table and got up: "If you have the ability, don't eat food in the future!" ”

Seeing that the tension on both sides was about to quarrel, representing that the most noble circle of nobles in the capital was about to quarrel, Concubine Qi just looked at it coldly, with a playful smile on the corner of her lips, but she didn't stop it.

Shen Ningning was about to speak, but saw a black shadow passing through the sky, and then, a black thing fell directly on Mo Zhirou's head.

"Ahh The lady who had just helped Mo Zhirou speak saw clearly what that thing was, screamed, and fell back with a pale face.

"What's wrong? What's on my head? Mo Zhirou reached out to touch.

The group of ladies turned pale: "It's locusts!" It's on your head! ”

Mo Zhirou stiffened, and immediately shouted: "Help me take it down, come on, take it down!" ”

The servants who were waiting beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her take down the locust, and when they found that it was already dead, they threw it on the ground.

Mo Zhirou subconsciously raised her foot and stepped on it fiercely: "Disgusting to death!" Why did it fall on me, it's really not long-sighted! ”

Seeing that she trampled on it repeatedly, after the shoes were removed, the locusts had turned into a shriveled pool of yellow.

A lady retched.

Shen Ningning blinked: "Didn't Miss Mo say that she was reluctant to eat fried locusts, but she was willing to step on it with her feet, which is really a kind of kindness?" ”

Mo Zhirou came back to her senses, and her face changed.

She stiffened her head and saw that everyone was looking at her with frightened and stunned eyes.

Mo Zhirou suddenly hated Shen Ningning.

When I'm with her, I'm always going to make myself embarrassed!

Concubine Qi played a round and smiled faintly: "Okay, it's just an accident, you can sit down too." ”

Mo Zhirou lowered her head and sat down again.

Shen Ningning looked at the fierce wings of the eagle parked on the eaves not far away, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Didn't eat her hundreds of chickens in vain! Finally matured, and at a critical time, he knew that he had brought locusts to bully Mo Zhirou.

Next, Shen Ningning's eyes flashed black, and it was time to get into her main topic.

After all, she didn't come to live for Concubine Qi.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was talking to each other, Shen Ningning took the initiative to walk towards Mo Zhirou.

Ask in a voice that everyone can hear, "What did you do with that jade plate last time?" I really like that piece of jade, if the King of Shu has no other arrangements, I want to buy it, do you think it's okay? ”

Mo Zhirou had just suffered a loss in Shen Ningning, and she was worried that she didn't know how to go back.

Hearing this, she raised her head immediately, her tone was cold, and she didn't smile: "It's really a coincidence, princess, of course the jade card can't be returned, and it's useless how much money you pay." ”

As she spoke, a trace of disdain crossed Mo Zhirou's eyes.

She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear: "The jade plate was given to my mother by my father, does the princess think that my father is willing to sell the jade pendant to you again?" ”

The crowd looked in their direction.

Concubine Qi was far away, and she didn't hear their argument clearly, only frowning suspiciously.

There is a bad premonition.

Sure enough, in the next second, Shen Ningning stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Concubine Qi.

The little girl blinked with a puzzled look on her face, her round black eyes.

"What? You said that the King of Shu gave it to the Princess of Shu? How is the jade plate hanging around Concubine Qi's neck exactly the same as the one you bought? ”

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Concubine Qi, and sure enough, the jade plate hanging around her neck, lined with a splendid placket, made her look even more dark green and translucent!

Concubine Qi's eyes changed suddenly, and before she had time to take it off, she was seen by everyone.

Mo Zhirou questioned Shen Ningning's words.

"Princess Funing, you can't talk nonsense, my father told me plainly that this jade plate was given to my mother, how could it be at Concubine Qi's mother!"

However, Mo Zhirou took a few steps closer and looked fixedly.

It was really the jade plaque she helped buy!

Mo Zhirou felt bad through Qi Feisen's cold complexion!

How did the jade plate get into Concubine Qi's hands?

Everyone looked at Concubine Qi silently, waiting for her to answer.

At this moment, the palace people not far away reported: "Princess Shu has arrived!" ”

Shen Ningning smiled.

The distinguished guest she invited is here! (End of chapter)
