Chapter 479 Delivering food
Chapter 479 Delivering food
Meng Zirou raised her bare hands lightly and looked down at the people in the audience. There was a flash of boredom in her eyes, which was hidden by her trembling crow eyelashes and no one could see it.
As her catkin-like hand fell, all the maids filed in. The various delicacies in his hands looked very tempting.
The palace maid lowered her head and placed the delicacies on the tray in front of everyone. In just a moment, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
The noble ladies who didn't eat much because they wanted to shine at the banquet stared straight at it and began to swallow their saliva.
Meng Zirou saw their expressions and laughed immediately, "These delicacies are the work of the royal chef in the palace. You should taste them carefully and don't waste my efforts." Everyone cupped their hands and said "Thank you, the Queen, for the gift."
When Emperor Yan and Meng Zirou moved their chopsticks, the people below began to eat eagerly.
Qingyun is the least polite one, she moves gracefully and eats very quickly.
Some ladies have to maintain their manners and can only watch and swallow, not daring to eat more. At this time, Qingyun was very envious of her physique, which allowed her to eat a lot without getting fat.
Only when the food on her table was finished, another plate of the same thing would appear. Qingyun raised her eyes and looked at Yan Siyuan, who was only drinking. The plate was missing on his table.
Qingyun couldn't help but curl her lips and ate Yan Siyuan's plate. But as soon as the empty plate was put down, the palace maid brought another similar plate. This time, it was Qing Xiao on the other side who sent it.
Qingyun narrowed her eyes happily. These dishes are comparable to those in Michelin. The presentation is very exquisite and beautiful, but the portions are very small. Basically, one plate is only the amount of one chopstick.
Qingyun almost wondered if the imperial chef had also come here. Although the quantity is small, the taste is very good. Qingyun couldn't get enough of the chopsticks, so she downed Qingxiao's portion.
The empty plates were put away and the same dishes were put in their place. Qingyun raised her eyebrows, wondering if this vegetable could grow on its own.
But obviously this was impossible, because Qing Rongxu on the opposite side was almost ready to make tricks on her. Mo Linghuai, who was next to him, probably felt embarrassed, so he grabbed Qingrongxu's arm, and then he calmed down aggrievedly.
Qingyun couldn't help but burst into laughter. In Mo Linghuai's loving and expectant eyes, he ate the plate of food.
In other words, she ate this dish four times by herself. She thought this was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that there would be something even more outrageous.
When the empty plate was taken down again, the same dish appeared again on the table. Qingyun was no longer calm, and looked for the kind person in the hall with wide eyes.
Soon, she felt Mo Jingchun's gentle eyes and the resentful eyes of Lu Xingci next to her. It was obvious that this set belonged to Mo Jingchun.
Qingyun smiled slyly and winked at Lu Xingci triumphantly. Lu Xingci was so angry that he gritted his teeth and looked at Mo Jingchun with a "look at her" expression.
But Mo Jingchun just touched his head to show comfort.
Qingyun was very impressed and picked up the chopsticks to finish the dishes in front of her again. But after a pause, she wanted to see if there would be another plate after finishing this one.
What she didn't realize was that because of her actions, the eyes of many people in the hall fell on her.
Some noble ladies are jealous that she can only eat without getting fat, while others are jealous that she has so many people doting on her. There are even those who simply hate her face. Of course there are also those who are dismissive, sarcastic and disdainful.
But at this moment, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Qingyun's. They all wanted to know if there would be another dish after this.
Some have a look of disdain on their faces, thinking that it will never happen again. Most people have this mentality. Some people think there will be more, but for a moment they can’t think of anyone who will give again. So they all stared at the dishes in front of Qingyun.
Qingyun narrowed her eyes and slowly picked up the dishes on the plate with chopsticks. He watched helplessly as the palace maid put away the plate and put a new one on it. And she was still holding the chopsticks, and the food on the chopsticks had not yet been put into her mouth.
Curious in his heart, he stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth, raised his eyes to look around for someone, and suddenly fell into Shi Fenglan's warm and watery eyes. She looked at Qingyun as if she were looking at family members.
Qingyun also knew who gave it to her at this time.
There was a faint exclamation in the hall, sighing that the relationship between Qingyun and Shi Fenglan was so good.
I only knew that Qingyun often went in and out of Prince Xian's mansion. She always thought she was helping Prince Xian treat his leg, but she didn't expect that she was actually on good terms with the princess. This also explains why Prince Xian’s legs have never recovered, but Qingyun still frequently visits Prince Xian’s mansion.
Maybe she couldn't cure King Xian's leg in the first place, but she just had a good relationship with Princess Xian.
Everyone's thoughts changed, but Qingyun was the only one who remained calm. Shi Fenglan responded with a love-you expression, raised her hand and ate the food in front of her.
But when the dish appeared again, Qingyun was already numb. After eating so many portions of the same dish, she was already full even if the portion was small. And in order to avoid it happening again, she didn't even move. She put the chopsticks down casually, not even bothering to find who gave them to them.
But as soon as she put her chopsticks on the table, she heard a majestic and displeased voice, "What, the food I rewarded is not to the eldest princess's taste?"
Qingyun was choked and beaten to death. She didn't expect that this was actually a gift from Meng Zirou. She didn't dare to eat it anymore because she was afraid that Meng Zirou would poison her to death.
He raised his eyes and looked at Meng Zirou with a smile, "How could it be? The Queen's reward is a blessing for the little girl. It's just that I ate too much just now and I want to rest before eating."
Meng Zirou didn't like her, "Really? Even so, this dish won't taste good if it's cold. I see that the eldest princess likes it very much, so it's better to eat it earlier."
Qingyun was helpless. In front of everyone, she couldn't stop eating. I can only pick up the chopsticks and pick up the dishes on the plate. He waved it in front of Meng Zirou with a fake smile, and then ate it. She didn't believe that Meng Zirou could poison her to death in front of so many people.
Seeing Qingyun eating, Meng Zirou nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at the people who had just brought food to Qingyun and snorted softly.
The banquet was still going on, and the vegetables on Qingyun’s table finally stopped “growing” automatically. Of course, she couldn't eat it herself, so she just played with the cup in her hand.
Until Emperor Yan stood up, Meng Zirou also stood up. Emperor Yan took Meng Zirou's hand and patted it, "It's the queen's birthday today, so I will ask everyone to have fun with you, and I will go back first."
In fact, Emperor Yan's ability to stay with me for so long has given Meng Zirou a lot of face.
Meng Zirou didn't show any pretense, she nodded shyly and said, "I send you off to your majesty."
