First, four eunuchs brought in a boxwood table and placed it gently in the center of the inner hall.
Four more eunuchs placed stools on each side of the table.
Now everyone in the hall has a seat.
After the eight people finished posing, they bowed their waists and stepped back to the side.
Then four more maids came forward one by one, carefully placed the glass bowls and dishes in front of each stool, and arranged them delicately one by one.
The equipment is expensive, so the maids are naturally cautious. If they accidentally break something, their lives will be lost.
Next, the eunuchs carrying various glazed utensils came in rows and placed various delicacies and snacks on the table.
But they were very particular about the presentation, with all the dishes facing the Queen's seat of honor, and even the chopsticks on the table were not pointed at the Queen.
The order of honor and inferiority in the Ouchi court is completely reflected on this table.
After preparing all this, all the eunuchs and maids also retreated outside the inner hall door.
They all said in unison: "Please have a meal with the Queen."
The empress, Ning Yunwan, stood up from her seat with her slender fingers and long gold nails satisfied.
And the concubines sitting around stood up one after another, not daring to show any signs of neglect, for fear of getting up later than the Queen.
Concubine An came to the Queen's side immediately and gently supported the Queen's fingers with her own arm.
"What a sycophant."
Qian Ruoyu said disdainfully.
Concubine Rong on the side quickly reminded in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, let others hear...it's not a good thing."
Qian Ruoyu said happily, "You are not someone else."
After finishing speaking, Qian Ruoyu took Concubine Rong's arm and walked forward.
At this time, the word "other people" left a mark in Concubine Rong's heart.
Concubine Rong looked at Qian Ruoyu's back, feeling a little dazed.
After seeing the Queen sitting down, everyone sat down one after another.
Qian Ruoyu looked at the snacks on the table carefully. The smell was fragrant. Qian Ruoyu felt a little hungry at this time, so naturally she twitched her little nose.
It's just now, it's the best time to have some snacks.
In the center of the table is a box of pine nut and lily cakes. Each piece of pine nut and lily cake looks like a lily, and it also exudes a faint fragrance.
Next to the pine nut and lily cake is a small plate of golden jujubes. Each golden jujube is hung with a layer of golden pulp. It looks oily but not greasy, and has a delicious shimmer in it.
People feel more appetizing just looking at it.
In addition, there are some pastries that Qian Ruoyu is not famous for. I just feel like I have eaten them in my memory, but I feel like I have never eaten them before.
And Empress An, who was sitting next to the Queen, said immediately.
"The Imperial Kitchen is really getting better and better at guessing the Queen's wishes. These pastries should be the most exquisite cakes in the entire harem anyway, and they can only be eaten by the Queen."
"oops!"
Concubine An suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the cake next to the golden dates.
"Isn't this the emperor's favorite honey honeycomb cake? This is my concubine's blessing today. I can actually eat it at the queen's place. Thank you, the queen, for your happiness!"
Concubine An stood up, looked at the queen and said, and hurriedly blessed the queen with blessings.
Naturally, everyone around him stood up and saluted, thanking the Queen.
Qian Ruoyu snorted when he saw it and dismissed it.
What a bunch of sycophants!
Under the pull of Concubine Rong, Qian Ruoyu stood up helplessly and leaned towards the Queen.
After sitting down, Qian Ruoyu looked at Empress An and said disdainfully.
"You are really a total flatterer! You have to flatter even if you have a meal, huh."
After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Concubine Rong covered her mouth with a handkerchief, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
But under Empress An's compliments, the Queen's face already showed a smile, looking very tolerant, and she spread her hands and said.
"You still have the sweetest mouth, it feels like it's been smeared with honey."
After finishing speaking, the Empress Ning Yunwan looked around the table, and finally fixed on Qian Ruoyu, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"It is rare for Princess Ye to enter the palace for the first time after her marriage. I have not prepared any generous gifts. Otherwise, I would give you this reunion egg crispy cake."
After the Queen spoke, the maid on the side slowly placed a small plate of snacks in front of Qian Ruoyu's table.
There are two small pieces of egg crisps on the plate. Each piece of egg crisp is round and round, dotted with more than a dozen small sesame seeds, and has a light luster.
Qian Ruoyu had already smelled the smell of egg crisps, but Concubine Rong beside her quickly grabbed her clothes and reminded her.
"Ahem, thank you quickly for the gift..."
Although it is a reminder, it is also full of tenderness.
Qian Ruoyu then said to the Empress: "Thank you, the Empress, for the reward."
The Queen simply smiled and stared at Qian Ruoyu.
"Thank you. I am the Night King's royal aunt, and naturally I am your royal aunt. Our family does not speak the same language."
Concubine An, who was next to the Queen, said hurriedly.
"Since it was given to you by the Queen, why don't you eat it quickly? You can't live up to the Queen's kindness!"
"This reunion egg crispy cake is the Queen's favorite snack on weekdays. You have to eat them all and don't waste any of them!"
But just when Empress An Bi said these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly remembered that she had walked out before.
Walking out in a hurry and walking back slowly, there is obviously a scam involved.
Is it possible...
Qian Ruoyu rolled her eyes and finally focused on the reunion egg crisps in front of her.
Is it possible that the problem lies with this reunion egg crispy cake?
No, you have to try poison!
Qian Ruoyu flicked his sleeves and took out a test tube from the laboratory.
At the same time, he picked up the egg crisps on the plate, pretended to smell it in front of his nose, put it down and placed it on the flat side of the table.
"Wow, it's really sweet!"
Qian Ruoyu said exaggeratedly, and took the opportunity to drip the drops from the test tube onto the egg crisps.
Naturally, no one saw what Qian Ruoyu had just done.
But when I turned around, I saw blue stains on one side of the egg crisp.
It is indeed a scam!
In the test tube is the universal enzyme that Qian Ruoyu developed before, which can be used to detect the allergic components of some drugs.
There were temporary blue streaks on the surface of the egg crisps, and Qian Ruoyu knew without even thinking about it that laxatives were added to the egg crisps.
If the guess is correct, it is obvious that this matter was done by An Bin. Since An Bin was so close to the Queen, this matter cannot be separated from the Queen.
No wonder he was so kind as to give himself such a box of snacks.
Or is it really a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, and he is uneasy and kind-hearted.
If I hadn't been careful and ate it like this, I'm afraid everyone would have laughed at it again, and if I returned to the Night King's Mansion, this matter would have spread throughout the manor.
I'm afraid that by then the entire capital will know how dignified Princess Ye is, vomiting and having diarrhea in the imperial palace.
