Chapter 411: The one who teases first is the cheap one
Cang Yue stood between the Third Prince's wife and Xie Yingmian.
As the Third Prince's wife was about to slap her, Cang Yue grabbed her wrist firmly.
In order not to cause trouble to Xie Yingmian.
Zang Yue controlled the force and did not break her wrist directly, but just squeezed it hard.
even so.
The Third Prince's wife was still crying out in pain.
"Bitch!" The Third Prince's wife glared at Cang Yue, "Let me go now."
Zang Yue had no expression on his face and attacked even more ruthlessly.
The Third Prince's wife gasped in pain.
The face also changed from being proud to being ferocious.
She couldn't persuade Zang Yue, so she turned around and glared at Xie Yingmian: "Xie Yingmian, what do you mean by this?"
"You just watch your maid bully others?"
Xie Yingmian only replied with four words: "The one who teases first is the cheap one."
The Third Prince's wife's face was covered in blue and white spots.
It hurts, and I'm angry too.
Cang Yue would not let go until Xie Yingmian gave the order.
The Third Prince's wife could not break free from Cang Yue, and the maidservant beside her was no match for Cang Yue and could only bend over in a strange posture.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen and others arrived.
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Zang Yue took the opportunity to let go of the Third Prince's wife.
The Third Prince's wife finally regained her freedom. The bones where she was pinched felt like they were broken and it hurt terribly.
The Third Prince's wife felt a little regretful.
She shouldn't have provoked this madman Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian and the people around him are all crazy!
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor exchanged a few brief words of greeting.
The emperor went to the male relatives.
The Queen Mother and the Empress sat down in turn.
The palace maids and eunuchs brought various desserts to the table.
All desserts are made with or related to peonies, and are elegant and exquisite.
There is one for each seat.
The seat to the right of Xie Yingmian was empty. No one came over and there was no name written on it.
Based on the principle of no waste.
Xie Yingmian quietly gave that portion to Wen Juexia and Cang Yue.
Desserts are just appetizers.
After the appetizers, a variety of delicacies were quickly served.
Others were reserved, not daring to pick up their chopsticks or putting them down quickly after taking just one or two bites.
The dishes are small but there are a lot of options.
Every once in a while, a palace maid would come and take away the dishes, and another palace maid would present new dishes.
The result of eating only one or two bites is that the delicious food is taken away without being touched or even not touched at all.
Xie Yingmian looked at the dishes that had been removed as they were and sighed slightly.
The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. This is embodied here.
Poor people could not eat meat once a year.
The nobles threw away a table full of delicious dishes after taking just one bite.
The clear class divisions have made this era rotten from the root.
Xie Yingmian suddenly remembered the 20th century (1900 to 2000), which was about 900 years away from the 29th century.
At that time, her country was experiencing unprecedented turmoil.
The war was raging, the people were displaced, the country was broken and the mountains and rivers were shattered.
Countless people followed suit.
Use your body and flesh and blood to pave a bumpy and bloody path.
Countless people have erected monuments with their upright backs.
They worked together to drive away the enemy.
They tore through the endless darkness and built a bloody dawn in the broken mountains and rivers.
After driving away the invaders.
It took them only a few decades to transform the impoverished and devastated country into a prosperous world that everyone longed for.
Especially after entering the 21st century, it has developed rapidly and changed with each passing day.
In that prosperous era, everyone could have enough food and warm clothing.
In that prosperous era, the country was peaceful and the people lived in peace.
In that prosperous era, when one side was in trouble, all sides would come to its aid.
Her country created the famous "gourmet era".
The 21st century is even called the Golden Century by later generations.
Even in the 29th century, countless people cherished the memory of that era and yearned for that era.
if……
If you can copy it.
Even if we copy a little bit, can we change something?
"Princess Ling seems to like the food in the imperial kitchen." The queen's voice came with a hint of smile.
Xie Yingmian came back to his senses from his thoughts.
When she came to her senses, she realized that almost everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Because she was too immersed in her thoughts, she unknowingly ate all the dishes in front of her.
The Queen Mother and the Empress were present.
No one dared to say anything, but the way they looked at Xie Yingmian was full of ridicule and disdain.
No one had ever eaten food so cleanly at a palace banquet.
Even when eating at home, one should not eat more than three servings.
Eat no more than three bites of a dish.
Only a village girl like Xie Yingmian who came from the farm would eat it all.
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "The food in the imperial kitchen is indeed delicious."
"I ate it all up accidentally."
The Queen also laughed and said, "I also think the Royal Chef's cooking is good. Seeing you eating so happily, I am hungry."
The queen also picked up her chopsticks and finished the food on the small plate.
The Queen's move helped Xie Yingmian out of trouble.
Xie Yingmian accepted the goodwill radiated by the Queen.
She didn't want to argue with these nobles who "didn't eat meat" about saving food and how hard the farmers worked.
it's useless.
These people are high and mighty, and think they are superior to others. How could they possibly care about the lives of ordinary people?
Even if there is occasional kindness, it is only the pity of the superiors for the people at the bottom.
So, there is no point in arguing.
After the last delicacy of meatball soup was served, the banquet officially ended.
After the banquet, there was singing and dancing.
In addition to the performances by the dancers and singers from the Jiaofangsi, there were also performances by many noble ladies.
The performance takes place on the bridge.
A stage was built on the bridge and measures were taken to prevent people from falling into the water.
The bridge is wide and has a certain height.
Therefore, both male and female relatives can watch the performance.
Cheers could be heard from time to time.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were delighted and gave praise.
"Grandmother, I've heard that Princess Ling is a very talented woman." The Third Prince's wife said, "I haven't seen her yet. I wonder if I'll be able to see her today."
The Queen Mother's gaze fell on Xie Yingmian.
She nodded: "Indeed."
"Among you girls, I know which ones are good at music, which ones are good at dancing, and which ones are good at playing the piano. Except for Princess Ling, you just married into the royal family, and I haven't had the chance to appreciate your talents yet."
"Just as the Third Brother is talking about this, do you want to show us your skills?"
After Xie Yingmian had eaten and drunk her fill, she was leisurely listening to music and watching dance.
He frowned slightly when his name was suddenly called.
The Queen was somewhat surprised, as if she had not expected the Queen Mother to agree with the Third Prince's wife.
after all,
Everyone knows that Xie Yingmian grew up in Zhuangzi.
Even if she was lucky enough to learn the skills of the Gu Saint, it could not cover up the fact that she was not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Isn't it embarrassing for the Queen Mother to ask Xie Yingmian to perform on stage?
The queen wanted to say something to help Xie Yingmian out of the predicament.
Xie Yingmian stood up and said, "Thank you very much, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for your kindness. Yingmian is flattered."
"However, Your Majesty, you know that Yingmian has lived in the countryside since she was a child. She has only learned a few basic skills and may not be worthy of being accepted by the upper class."
The Queen Mother's face was expressionless: "You mean, you don't want to?"
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you have misunderstood."
