Zhao Chengyan: “…”
Everyone looked at him, and then the old King Wuduan also said: "Fourth brother, please don't get angry with Erlang. The boy is full of blood. As the elders, why don't we give in more?"
Zhao Chengyan: “…”
He felt very aggrieved. It was Zhao Yue who had obviously ruined his face and made him a joke, but now he was the one who didn't know what to do.
Being told this by everyone, I felt unhappy but couldn't vent my feelings, so I had to pretend to be generous and forbearing and said: "Erlang's bowing skills are very good. I will have to compete with you sometime."
Zhao Yue waved her hands quickly and complimented: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Four Emperors. My nephew was just opportunistic that day. If we really fight, he will definitely not be the opponent of Uncle Four Emperors."
Zhao Chengyan felt a little more comfortable hearing this.
Cui Wenxi on the side held back a smile and glanced at Zhao Yue opposite, but didn't want their eyes to collide.
The two of them looked away at the same time with a tacit understanding, and Zhao Yue didn't dare to look around anymore.
Not long after, the maid came to tell them that the puffer fish feast could be held.
Yongning asked: "Is there any abnormality after using it in the kitchen?"
The maid replied: "Your Highness, there is nothing unusual in the kitchen at present, and the time is sufficient, you can have your meal."
Although pufferfish is fresh, it is highly poisonous, and anyone present who handles it accidentally will not be able to escape. Therefore, before eating it, the host will ask the chef who handled the pufferfish to try it himself.
Now that the chef has been using it for a long time, no abnormalities have been found, so everyone can eat with confidence.
People went to the side room one after another, and men and women sat around the table separately, because everyone discussed different topics.
After the girls sat down, the maid brought a copper basin for them to clean their hands.
The first thing to be served is the cold dish, which is mixed with puffer fish skin.
The puffer fish skin is very crispy and chewy. Cut into thin strips and paired with green onion and ginger, it is particularly refreshing to use.
Cui Wenxi likes to eat pufferfish, but he doesn’t particularly like pufferfish skin and only tastes a little.
The maid presented Xinfeng wine, and then one after another presented puffer fish.
The sky-blue ceramic plate is filled with crystal-clear fish meat. Each piece of fish meat is sliced as thin as a cicada's wing, and its meat is white and translucent, and can be arranged in many patterns.
There are lotus-shaped, peacock-shaped, butterfly-shaped, etc., with different shapes, and the presentation is very exquisite.
There are also several flavors of dipping sauces to accompany the fish breasts, including clear sauce, sour and spicy, and slightly bitter and spicy yellow mustard. You can match it as you like.
Cui Wenxi enthusiastically tasted a piece of fish breast dipped in yellow mustard. The spicy taste stimulated the taste buds, and the meat was elastic and chewy, giving it a great taste.
Yongning looked at her and asked, "How does it taste?"
Cui Wenxi praised: "Excellent, I just love this delicious taste."
People drank Xinfeng wine with fish and meat and chatted animatedly.
The gentlemen chatted about current affairs, food, drink and fun, while the girls chatted about which Rouge Lingluo is the best in Beijing, or all kinds of trivial family gossip.
Cui Wenxi felt that Xinfeng wine was not bad and it was easy to drink, so he sipped a little more.
The wine bottle was small and could not hold much. After pouring two glasses, Yongning asked the maid to add more.
There is also osmanthus wine on the table, you can use whatever you like and help yourself.
After everyone had finished eating the fish meat, the next dish was grilled fish meat.
The so-called fish white refers to the testes of the male fish. After being grilled by the chef, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. It is a very precious ingredient.
Yongning loves to eat fish white and likes its delicious texture.
Cui Wenxi thought it was a male fish's testicles, so he only ate one and gave up.
The women at the table despised her for squandering everything and not knowing how to enjoy the ultimate freshness.
While people were immersed in the deliciousness of the fish, a dish of fried tonkotsu was served. It is made of puffer fish bones wrapped in flour and egg essence and deep-fried. It is especially crispy and fragrant.
This dish is best served with wine. Cui Wenxi loves to eat it and uses several pieces.
While drinking with Yongning and others, she talked about Pingyang's current situation, and they all felt that she could find another husband with good conduct to live her life.
Later, the puffer fish soup was served on the table. There was a small pottery on the small red clay stove. The soup was boiled with puffer fish heads and fish bones. The soup was milky white in color and had a rich aroma. The smell greatly increased your appetite.
Fang Ling served a bowl for her.
The maids successively presented round rice dumplings, which contained many side dishes, including tofu, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and various vegetables for people to wash and eat.
Cui Wenxi took a spoon and took a sip of the soup. It was so delicious that she bit her tongue.
Everyone present was full of praise for the puffer fish soup.
These noble ladies all know how to eat, and no matter how picky their appetites are, they have to surrender to the delicious taste of puffer fish.
No, after a bowl of pufferfish soup, Cui Wenxi ate some blanched vegetables. In the end, he was still not satisfied, so he soaked half a bowl of japonica rice in the soup before giving up.
Today's meal completely satisfied her appetite, and she felt much better.
Who would have thought that her gluttony almost made her lose her moral integrity because the wine they drank went wrong!
After the blowfish feast came to an end, tea was served to help with digestion.
The girls who were full of wine and food sat together and chatted about the beauty of the puffer fish. Yongning loved to play leaf cards and invited the women to play cards for fun.
Cui Wenxi felt a little sleepy, so he went to the guest room of Changle Hall for a lunch break, while Prince Qing and others sat together to discuss the customs and customs of a certain place.
People make their own arrangements, either taking a lunch break, playing leaf cards, or having tea and chatting.
Now that the guests have been accommodated, the servants in the mansion are a little more relaxed and can take some slack.
At this time, there were very few servants walking around outside, and some domestic slaves took the opportunity to take a nap to replenish their energy.
On weekdays, Yongning is in a deserted state, and its management is loose and loose, causing the domestic slaves below to have no rules. No, right now, there is a maid taking advantage of the fact that no one is walking around outside, having sex in the bamboo forest on the other side of Fengyiting.
Someone secretly exposed this secret and used guests to expose this dirty incident. Cui Wenxi happened to be resting in Changle Pavilion. If they went to Shi'an Garden in Yongning where they played leaf cards, they would pass by Fengyi Pavilion.
Whether it was because he drank too much or something else, Cui Wenxi suddenly felt his mouth was dry and his heart was inexplicably anxious.
Fang Ling poured her a few glasses of water.
At this time, a servant came outside and said that there was something going on over there in Yongning and they were looking for her.
Cui Wenxi responded, and after sending away the servant, he tidied up his clothes and went to An Yuan with Feang Ling.
After walking out of Changle Hall, they met Zhao Yue and Duke Wei's servant on the way to the guest room for a lunch break.
The two parties saluted each other, and seeing her face flushed, Zhao Yue asked, "Is Aunt Four Emperor drunk?"
Cui Wenxi replied: "It's probably because the Xinfeng wine is so strong that I feel dizzy and feel weak all over."
Zhao Yue frowned, looked at Fangling and said, "Have you tried the hangover soup?"
Fangling: "I'm about to die in Anyuan."
Zhao Yue asked no more questions.
After they left, he still stayed where he was, watching their backs as they walked away.
Cui Wenxi seemed to be really drunk, her legs felt weak, the skin all over her body was hot, and her mouth was extremely dry.
She licked her lips and felt an unknown evil fire rising deep in her heart, and said: "This wine is really powerful, I am completely drunk."
Fang Ling also noticed that something was wrong with her, and said worriedly: "Why don't I go back to rest first, my lady, and I can take a trip to Shi'an Garden?"
Cui Wenxi: "It doesn't matter."
Her feet were shaky and she almost fell. If Fang Ling hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, she would have definitely fallen.
Zhao Yue, who had been staring at them, frowned deeper and wanted to say something, but finally endured it.
Eunuch Wei waited for him to take a nap in a nearby guest room. He felt uneasy and went out after not sitting in the side room for a while. Eunuch Wei quickly caught up and said, "I'll go take a look and then come back."
Eunuch Wei said no more.
At that time, Master Cui Wenxi was about to arrive at Fengyiting. At first she thought it was because of drunkenness, but then she felt more and more strange, because her body was not only weak, but also had an uncontrollable physiological reaction.
This is definitely not a sign of drunkenness!
Seeing her tenderness and weakness, Fang Ling was greatly puzzled and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you, madam?"
Cui Wenxi has a pink face, a delicate pink face, and her originally white neck has long been covered with attractive crimson color.
She was embarrassed and anxious, and tried to control her rationality and said: "That bastard Yongning, I don't know what he gave me to eat."
Fang Ling was confused and asked, "What do you mean by this, Madam?"
Cui Wenxi swayed on his feet and said with difficulty, "Maybe I've been hit by a drug, and my mind is full of ridiculous things."
Fang Ling: "!!!"
Her eyes widened in shock, she was really frightened.
Cui Wenxi couldn't stand firmly, Fang Ling supported her delicate body in panic. Just when she didn't know what to do, it rained all night, and she saw Prince Qing coming here alone and in a hurry.
Zhao Yue, who had just followed him to find out what was going on, also noticed his presence. He didn't know whether it was because he felt guilty or because he realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He didn't want to meet Prince Qing at all and immediately hid in the rockery landscape next to him.
Cui Wenxi's master and servant not far away was also panicking. She was absolutely sure that she had been hit. If she fell into the hands of King Qing in the current situation, she would not want to lose her moral integrity.
She really couldn't stand the situation where she was begging for love from him, she felt dirty.
Fang Ling also knew that the current situation was not good. When she was left alone, Cui Wenxi pushed her away and said: "Hurry up and call someone in An Yuan. Don't let me be alone with Prince Qing. Hurry!"
Fang Ling said anxiously: "I'm not worried that my wife is here alone."
Cui Wenxi had an idea in mind, pointed to the rockery not far away and said: "There is no one here now, so I will hide in there first. Don't miss the point. Hurry up and avoid Prince Qing's Death Garden. Hurry!"
Fangling: "But..."
Cui Wenxi: "Don't dawdle!"
Without thinking too much, she immediately stumbled towards the rockery.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Fang Ling did not dare to hold back, and hurriedly avoided King Qing's death garden to bring in reinforcements.
Cui Wenxi's legs were trembling, and he endured the unbearable hunger and thirst like a cat scratching. He pinched the palms of his hands with his nails to force his mind to clear up, and staggered into the rockery landscape. [Read novels and join QQ group 521721998]
She never thought that when she dove in, she was caught off guard and met Zhao Yue.
Cui Wenxi: "!!!"
Zhao Yue: "..."
