Chapter 671: Love the House and the Crow's Nest
Si Linglong looked at her man's face carefully several times as if washing her eyes.
Until Helian Yue felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, he cleared his throat and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"That's about right."
Everyone below noticed it.
Si Linglong then smiled and looked away, and started to pick up some food for him.
[My daughter A-Yue is pretty, let me see what's wrong with her. ]
Helian Yue clenched his fist and coughed again, hiding the slight smile on his lips.
The two people were exchanging glances here, while Xue Sha next to them could no longer bear to watch. He ate two bites of the meat on the banquet, but felt that it tasted just average. His eyes then fixed on the wine glass in Si Linglong's hand, and his chubby hand reached out to it.
Si Linglong's hand was one step faster than hers and took the wine glass away first.
Although she was staring at A Yue, she was always keeping an eye on the little one out of the corner of her eye.
Xue Sha was not panicked when he was caught, and said in a baby voice, "I taste it!"
"What are you tasting? This is fruit wine. Children are not allowed to drink it."
As Si Linglong spoke, she reached out and drank the fruit wine in the glass. She then gestured to the tables below where the children were sitting together. There was an empty space in the middle, which was the seat she had originally arranged for Xueshan.
"Look, all the fruit drinks you can drink are on that table. Go there and you can make some friends with some other kids."
Xue Sha's appearance is here. She is the only child in the palace. This is a rare opportunity, and Si Linglong also wants her to interact with other children.
Xue Shan followed her line of sight and saw several young men and women sitting at the empty table. Some were about her age, some were seven or eight years old, and some were eleven or twelve years old. There were maids beside them, carefully serving them. Xue Shan snorted.
"I'm not going there, a bunch of little brats, I'm not going to play with them."
It's shameful to need someone to serve you when you eat.
Si Linglong was almost choked by the disgust in Xueshan's words.
Looking at the children of varying ages below, and then looking at Xuesha's short and round figure, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
[You are such a person, and you still have the nerve to complain about others' smallness? 】
Helian Yue listened to the two people whispering beside him and decided not to get involved in this topic.
When the singing and dancing were in full swing, Xue Sha wanted to see more clearly, so he ran down a little further and squeezed in with Concubine Quan.
Empress Dowager Sheng was concentrating on watching the singing and dancing, when she saw a fat kid running by. She said in a sly voice, "How can you run around like that?"
The Queen Mother scolded him, and Gu Qingquan was about to plead for Xue Sha when she heard the Queen Mother continue, "Come and sit here with me."
Gu Qingquan seemed to sense something, and she put aside her original thoughts and said something to Xue Sha with her head down. Xue Sha then lifted up her little skirt and sat down next to the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Sheng glanced at Jin Xin who was standing beside her. Jin Xin immediately understood and asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks, and also brought over some snacks and fruit drinks that the children liked.
Xue Sha looked at the table full of food in front of him and stopped running. He sat down next to the Queen Mother.
Although Empress Dowager Sheng's expression was still graceful and serious, she looked at the little child beside her from the corner of her eyes and asked her, "What did Concubine Quan say to you just now?"
Xue Sha had just taken a sip of the sweet and sour fruit drink when he heard the voice and raised his chubby face. He said in a baby voice, "Auntie Quan said that the food here at the Queen Mother's is different from theirs. Let me try it."
Gu Qingquan said this just to get Xue Sha to come and accompany the Queen Mother, but she was not wrong.
Although the dishes at the banquet were similar, the dishes for the Queen Mother and several older relatives were easy to digest and did not require much chewing.
As Xue Sha was talking, he took a fancy to a round lion head, pointed at it and said, "Let me try this."
Although she just complained that several older children there needed to be served even though they could obviously eat by themselves, she was different. She had only been a woman for a short time and was not very good at using chopsticks, so she needed someone to serve her.
Xue Sha naturally wanted to eat, and Jin Xin, who was standing by, heard her say that and wanted to pick up some for her. However, before she could do anything, she saw the empress dowager, who was originally sitting upright, had already picked up the public chopsticks, steadily picked up a lion's head and placed it in the bowl in front of Xue Sha.
"Eat, don't talk too much."
Xueshan didn't mind her bad attitude. She grabbed the chopsticks and started to eat the lion's head which was as big as her fist.
She ate happily, but Jin Xin beside her was shocked.
The Queen Mother actually picked up food for a child herself!
Not to mention Jin Xin, who had been serving the empress dowager for many years, was shocked, and the clan members below who caught a glimpse of this scene almost dropped their jaws in shock.
Along with the shock came confusion.
The emperor indulged this child because he loved the whole family, but what did the queen mother want?
Love the house and the dog's nest?
She values the emperor, so she values the emperor's favorite concubine, and then she values the distant relative raised by the favorite concubine???
