Chapter 232 Are you here to kill me?
Xiao Jingyu cast a resentful look at Zhu Xuntao:
Sister-in-law, you are so vicious!
Zhu Xuntao raised her eyebrows in response: Do you dare to provoke me next time?
Xiao Jingyu said: I dare not...
"As expected of the cooking skills of the palace chef, this soup is good, I'll have another bowl."
Zhu Xuntao, who won a big victory, was in great spirits. She served herself the soup, so she would not give Xiao Jingyu a chance to laugh at her.
However, when she used the soup spoon to scoop the soup from the bowl, she saw the contents inside, and her movements and smile froze:
"Um... can I ask a small question?"
"What?" Xiao Jingzhan responded immediately.
Zhu Xuntao's voice began to become vague. She pointed at the thing in the soup spoon and asked:
"What is this?"
If she asked how this soup was made, Xiao Jingzhan would not know.
So, Xiao Jingzhan looked at the palace servants who were serving on the side.
The palace servants who had been standing for a long time saw that they finally had a place to use their skills, and hurriedly said:
"To reply to the Crown Prince's wife, this soup is the Phoenix in the sky."
Zhu Xuntao: "..."
[What Phoenix? Don't bully me for not knowing poultry. This is clearly an old duck. 】
Zhu Xuntao stretched out her finger and pointed to the contents in the spoon again:
"I'm asking what these pieces are?"
The palace maid carefully distinguished them, and then answered:
"Licorice."
"Don't worry, Princess, licorice is good for the body when stewed in soup."
"What about this?"
Zhu Xuntao pointed to the contents next to the licorice.
Although she was still just suspicious, after all, she was not familiar with Chinese medicine.
But she has been here for so long and has taken so many medicines, so she still has basic common sense.
She also hopes that she has seen it wrong or guessed wrong.
The palace maid was confused: "Licorice?"
Didn't she answer just now.
Zhu Xuntao frowned, silently picked up the thing that was also called licorice by the palace maid with chopsticks, and took a small bite.
【Pooh! 】
【Bitter!!! 】
【Licorice is sweet!! 】
【The bitter one, which looks very similar to licorice, is called gansui】
【Licorice and gansui are used to stew duck soup. Is it to give Prince Yan more achievements and help him complete his KPI as soon as possible? 】
【Ahhh, which idiot stewed this soup? 】
【Fortunately, the amount of licorice and gansui is not large, otherwise, everyone present today would have died in this palace banquet. 】
Zhu Xuntao, who screamed like a mole, never thought that he would encounter such an oolong incident in a place like a palace banquet, and almost caused a death.
The prince: "..."
The queen: "..."
After hearing Zhu Xuntao's voice, the people in Yongjing Marquis's mansion pushed the soup away tacitly.
Especially Yang Xiruo, who didn't dare to let Xiao Chenliang touch even a little bit of the duck soup.
Zhu Xuntao turned around and said to Yang Xiruo:
"Sister-in-law, this soup..."
Seeing Yang Xiruo pushing the soup away, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"I was just thinking, this soup... doesn't taste very good, don't give it to Chenliang."
[Although the amount of licorice and gansui is not large, it is not a lethal dose. ]
[But the fat boy is still young, and his body resistance is not as good as that of adults, so he can't touch it no matter how small the dose is. ]
Yang Xiruo was very grateful that Zhu Xuntao always remembered her son:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I listen to you very much."
Not to mention not drinking the soup, even if the fat son is hungry for a meal, it doesn't matter.
