She lowered her eyelids and didn't look at him, but she was muttering in her heart, why did he come here
Could it be that he rushed over to support him because he heard that Queen Mother Zhou was hosting a Hongmen Banquet to embarrass herself
Or did he know that Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to choose a concubine for him among these three girls, and he came to choose her personally
"Come, let's have a feast." As soon as Empress Dowager Zhou finished giving the order, the eunuchs and maids removed the fruits and snacks and began to serve delicacies like a stream of water.
The wine and vegetables were delicious, but no one present was in the mood to eat. Everyone was preoccupied.
Three girls were sitting next to the emperor. They had never been so close to the emperor. As soon as they raised their eyes, they could see his handsome face, which was as handsome as an immortal. Their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. How could they have any thoughts? Have a meal.
They all sat very upright, each of them just took a few sips of tea, but did not move towards the dishes that the palace maids held in their bowls.
Thinking of having to perform their talents in front of the emperor after the meal, all three of them were extremely nervous and couldn't even eat anything.
Shen Ning has a very good appetite. She knows that she is here to make soy sauce today, so she eats whatever the palace maid brings to her, and the food is very delicious.
The eyes of Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan fell on her face unconsciously, especially Mo Chuan. He was looking at her almost intently and could not bear to blink.
The way she ate was not polite, but she was generous. When she ate delicious food, her big eyes narrowed slightly, looking like a greedy and satisfied cat.
The corners of Mo Chuan's lips curled up slightly, and a look of endearment unknowingly appeared in his eyes.
Every time he saw her eating like this, he had the urge to touch her head.
It was a pity that there was Queen Mother Zhou between the two of them today, so he could only see but not touch.
Queen Mother Zhou suddenly felt that she was also hungry. She looked away, took a chopstick and put the crab meat and lion head into her mouth, and tasted it slowly.
She never liked eating this kind of fat and greasy food, but somehow, seeing how sweet Shen Ning ate it, she actually wanted to try it.
"Well, that's right. This crab-meat lion head is well done. Sujin, according to the Ai family's instructions, the cook who made this dish will be rewarded heavily."
Sujin was also surprised by Queen Mother Zhou's words. She saw that Queen Mother Zhou actually ate half of the lion's head, and her mouth was so open that she almost stuffed an egg into it.
"Mother, this lion's head is too greasy. It's hard for you to eat more. Why don't you eat something light?" Mo Chuan took a chopstick and put Longjing shrimp on the plate in front of Queen Mother Zhou.
"That's fine." Empress Dowager Zhou took a bite of shrimps with a smile, her eyes fell on the porcelain plate in front of Mo Chuan, and said "Eh", "Emperor, Aijia remembers that your favorite food is rock sugar chestnut cake, why are you so busy today?" The chopsticks didn’t move. Could it be that the chef’s cooking didn’t suit your taste?”
"My mother remembered it wrong. I never like to eat sweets like this. Princess Dingyuan, if you like it, I will give you my share."
Mo Chuan had long noticed that Shen Ning's rock sugar chestnut cake was eaten by her in three mouthfuls, and she still looked like she was still unsatisfied.
He picked up the porcelain plate, put it in Xiaosi's hand, and pursed his lips at Shen Ning. Xiaosi immediately took it and placed it respectfully in front of Shen Ning.
Queen Mother Zhou's face suddenly darkened and she stared at Mo Chuan sternly.
What does this kid want to do!
