"Look up." His voice was even softer than usual, with a hint of amusement in it. He then added, "Cousin."
The Queen Mother, who was twisting her Buddhist beads, loosened her grip and a look of joy instantly spread across her face. She urged, "Jiang Jiang, your cousin wants to see you. Look up quickly."
Very noisy.
Fu Yao closed his eyes and tried to hold back, but he couldn't help saying, "Shut up."
The Queen Mother's face froze, but the palace maids around her all lowered their heads and no one paid any attention to her.
Jiang Jiang slowly raised his head, but did not dare to look directly at the emperor, and his eyes fell vaguely on his collar.
Only then did Fu Yao see her appearance clearly: her almond-shaped eyes were watery, her gaze was charming, and her lips were bitten by her pearly teeth, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks, which only added a bit of delicate beauty.
The girl had a sweet face and a polite smile on her lips. She looked like a bowl of iced drink in the hot summer, which calmed Fu Yao's restless heart a little.
He looked at Jiang Jiang deeply twice, but said nothing. When he walked to the table, Sun Jinlu skillfully pulled out a stool for him.
Jiang Jiang couldn't help but look sideways. Although a blanket had been laid in the hall in preparation for Fu Yao's meal, the eunuch next to him was able to move the stool without making any noise. He was indeed an expert.
But Fu Yao still looked dissatisfied and glanced at him.
The tense atmosphere seemed to be contagious, causing Jiang Jiang and the Queen Mother to be extremely cautious when they took their seats.
When the royal family ate, palace maids would serve the dishes.
The masters only need to glance at them and the palace servants will understand.
It should be extremely worry-free, but Jiang Jiang still felt a little uneasy. She never had the habit of smacking her lips when eating, but the chewing sound was inevitable.
The Queen Mother's lunch menu was much better than those prepared by the concubines in the Chuxiu Palace. Jiang Jiang had seen many of the dishes before, and they made her eyes light up.
But she had to eat very slowly because of the noise of chewing, so her eyes looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table like a hungry wolf, with sparks in them.
The palace maid serving the food: “…” Or I can just put it all in the bowl for you.
But serving this person is much better than serving the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. It goes without saying that the Empress Dowager is less picky, and the Emperor is even more so. As soon as the silver chopsticks clink and make a sound, he will cast a cold glance over.
Jiang Jiang had never had such a quiet meal.
It was so quiet that she started to have awkward conversations with 10086.
If I keep eating like this, I'll probably die of weight in a few months.
10086: [......]
10086: [No, host, you've already had your third bowl of rice. You won't starve to death if you eat like this.]
Jiang Jiang: [...Shut up!]
Jiang Jiang was upset by it and curled her lips inwardly. She looked up and found that the Queen Mother and Fu Yao had both put down their chopsticks. They must have finished their meal.
The two of them must have kept their gaze on her for a long time.
Because Jiang Jiang noticed that the hands of the palace maid who was serving the dishes were shaking.
She even saw a warning in the Queen Mother's eyes.
——It probably means that he doesn’t want her to eat anymore.
After all, it is against the rules to let these two wait for a concubine.
Jiang Jiang thought to himself that the royal family members all had small stomachs, and they finished after eating such a small amount. Looking at the dishes on the table, he felt a little reluctant, after all, he didn't know when he would be able to eat such delicious food again.
She struggled in her heart for a moment, but was ready to put down her chopsticks.
But Fu Yao's voice rang out from the left: "Don't worry, eat slowly."
His voice was like a sharp blade wrapped in silk, gentle yet with an undisguised sharpness, but to Jiang Jiang it sounded like the sound of nature.
"Thank you, cousin."
