Seeing Wu Hongyi stuffing plum blossom steamed cakes into his mouth one by one like a starving ghost, Wei Lingran was afraid that he would choke, so she quickly got a cup of orange rice wine from Wu Yufei next to him.
"Brother Wu, eat slowly. At worst, I won't give it to anyone else and will just leave it all for you."
The unintelligent Wei Lingran hadn't realized that her love star had quietly moved. She looked at Wu Hongyi with sympathy, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, wondering how many days he hadn't eaten to be so hungry.
Meanwhile, Kristy Wu on the side gave An Yijiesheng one hot drink after another. Bian Sheng sighed and said, "What did An Erge do today? Why are you so thirsty?"
Seeing that the pot of sweet soup she was cooking was almost empty, and An Yijie kept looking into the pot, she looked at An Yijie uncertainly and said, "Second brother An, is this soup really that delicious? How about I make you another pot?"
"puff……"
When An Yijie heard that Kristy Wu wanted to cook another pot, he was so shocked that he almost vomited. He had a hard time finishing the pot of sweet soup.
His stomach is now full of water, and it feels like it's about to get stuck in his throat. If another pot comes, he's afraid he'll die here today.
He put down the cup of water in his hand and waved his hands repeatedly, "Enough, enough, no need to boil anymore."
The interaction between the four people made Tian An and others who were watching the show at the back cover their mouths and laugh continuously, and they all cast sympathetic glances at An Yiji and Wu Hongyi.
The road to pursuing your wife is long, and the young man still needs to work hard!
Thanks to these two conspicuous bags, there is no one in front of Wu Yufei and Wei Lingran's stall.
Seeing that there was no one around, the two of them simply let down their rolled-up sleeves and walked aside to chat with An Yijie and Wu Hongyi, which was exactly what they wanted.
Compared to the quietness here, the stalls of other girls are much more lively.
The two princesses were particularly popular. The seven-piece crystal cake made by Princess Yonghui was already exquisite, and coupled with her noble princess status, there was even a queue in front of her stall.
The young men who had eaten the crystal cake would also stop by Princess Yongjia's stall to ask for a cup of rose and white fungus soup.
Earlier, Concubine Jia had already told Yongjia the main purpose of holding this banquet and asked her to pay more attention to it today.
But facing these gentlemen at this time, she couldn't muster up any energy. Although she was smiling, people who knew her could easily see the reluctance on her face.
Until she saw Mu Chenke and a group of soldiers patrolling the imperial garden out of the corner of her eye, her gaze seemed to be hooked. As the figure moved, her heartbeat seemed to be much faster than usual, and an indescribable feeling of joy gradually surged in her heart.
"Princess, Princess..." The personal maid called her several times before she came to her senses.
Green Branch curiously looked in the direction she had just been looking at, and couldn't help but mutter, "Are there any beautiful flowers over there? Princess, are you so fascinated by them?"
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it seriously. This sentence made Yongjia's face, which was originally pale due to the injury, suddenly turn a little red.
She raised her hand and gently patted her hot cheeks, and finally she managed to calm her throbbing heart.
After thinking for a while, she pulled Luzhi over and whispered something in her ear.
Then Luzhi nodded and asked two palace maids to carry all the rose and white fungus soup out of the imperial garden.
Luzhi and two palace maids jogged all the way, and were already sweating profusely when they finally caught up with Mu Chenke.
"Commander Mu, please stay." Seeing that the man was about to walk away, Luzhi hurriedly asked him to stay. If they continued to chase him, not only would the three of them run their legs off, but the white fungus soup would also be cold.
Hearing someone calling him from behind, Mu Chenke stopped and raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him also stopped.
When he turned around, Luzhi had already arrived with two palace maids. "Commander Mu, my princess cooked a lot of rose and white fungus soup for the banquet. She is grateful for your contribution to defending the imperial city. In addition, the weather has been cold recently, so she asked me to bring some white fungus soup for everyone to drink to warm up. I hope I can do my best to help."
Mu Chenke's eyes fell on the food boxes carried by the two palace servants. His brows unconsciously raised, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he bowed in the direction of the imperial garden and opened his thin lips, "Your humble servant thanks the princess."
Although Luzhi and the others brought a lot of Tremella soup, when it was divided among a group of soldiers, each person only got half a bowl.
After completing the task assigned by their master, Luzhi and Mu Chenke exchanged a few polite words and returned to the imperial garden with the palace servants.
When the three figures disappeared, the soldiers behind Mu Chenke began to get restless. The brave ones went up to him and hooked their arms around his neck, winking and saying, "Boss, why did the princess give us Tremella Soup for no reason?"
"That's right. Don't we patrol and protect the imperial city every year? Why hasn't the princess ever shown her gratitude to us and given us Tremella Soup?"
"Boss, why is this happening? Tell us!"
"Yeah! Tell me about it!"
A group of people surrounded Mu Chenke and started to make noises.
Mu Chenke didn't get angry either. He hooked his finger at his fellow disciples and said, "Do you all want to know?"
The younger brothers said in unison, "I want to..." and then excitedly leaned over.
As a result, instead of hearing the gossip they imagined, each of them received a big slap in the face, which made them feel both painful and aggrieved.
"Even eating can't stop you from talking. You want to know everything. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Mu Chenke scolded all the younger brothers like quails, and their burning gossipy hearts were completely extinguished.
In the Imperial Garden, the voting had already ended when Luzhi returned.
The undisputed winner of this competition was Princess Yonghui. After receiving the prize from the Queen, she sat obediently beside Concubine Hui.
At this point, the banquet was halfway done. The women's opportunity to show off was over, and now it was the men's turn.
The men's performance was mainly based on the six arts of a gentleman: music, archery, calligraphy and mathematics. The palace people had set up four stages early on: one for music, the second for archery, the third for calligraphy and the fourth for mathematics.
Men can choose a ring to compete and communicate according to their own strengths.
The women can watch at will. Each of them also has six flowers in her hand, which they can give to the man they like. In the end, the person with the most flowers wins.
Wu Hongyi continued to show off his conspicuous nature, shamelessly chasing after Wei Lingran to ask for flowers. "Sister Wei, I'm going to the shooting range later. If I can hit the bull's eye once, how about you give me a flower?"
The simple-minded girl Lingran didn't understand Wu Hongyi's intentions. She just thought that since he had just given all his flowers to her, there was nothing wrong with her giving all the flowers in her hand to him now. After all, it didn't matter who she gave them to.
I agreed immediately.
