Chapter 85: The Ugly Face in Public

After several active noble ladies performed their talents to celebrate the Queen's birthday, it was getting late and it was time for the birthday banquet.

The Emperor was afraid that the ladies would feel constrained, so he did not stay for dinner and got up and drove back to the study to handle state affairs.

However, Qin Wang Zhao Defang and the princes stayed and had the birthday banquet in Baoci Hall.

Various exquisite delicacies were placed on the dining table by the palace maids, and the palace banquet began.

Luo Li stood up and smiled sweetly, then said to the Empress: "Empress, this unique birthday cake I made is not only beautiful, but also delicious!

You are the birthday star, you should cut a piece yourself and try it."

Empress Mingde smiled and agreed, "Okay! I must taste the delicacy made by Princess Qin herself."

The Empress stood up and walked to the extremely exquisite birthday cake, took a small knife for cutting barbecue handed to her by the palace maid, but was reluctant to start with it.

"This exquisite birthday cake, I really can't bear to cut it!"

Luo Li stood up and walked forward, smiling: "Your Majesty! No matter how exquisite the food is, it is still for eating. This birthday cake should be shared by everyone to be auspicious."

The Queen smiled and nodded, "Princess Qin is right! No matter how exquisite the food is, it is for filling the stomach.

I will eat the piece with the word longevity."

She cut a piece with the knife and put it on the plate held by the palace maid.

Luo Li enthusiastically helped, cutting a piece for each of the virtuous concubines, and a piece for each of the princesses.

She glanced at the princes sitting in the east, and diligently cut a piece for each of them.

The Queen elegantly scooped a small piece of birthday cake with a silver spoon and put it into her mouth, her eyes lit up!

"Delicious! The birthday cake made by the Princess of Qin is not only beautiful, but also delicious!"

Concubine Li Xian also took a bite and couldn't help but praise, "This birthday cake is sweet and soft, it's really delicious!"

Concubine Fang De also smiled and praised after taking a bite, "I don't know how the flowers on this birthday cake are made, they melt in your mouth, sweet and fragrant. Delicious!"

The princesses and princesses who got the birthday cakes ate them even more sweetly, and they all praised it for being delicious.

Luo Li stopped more than a dozen palace maids who were constantly delivering cakes.

"You guys are too blinding and too chaotic by constantly shuttling back and forth. Go aside and take a rest. I will cut the birthday cakes and let the noble ladies come up and serve them."

Seeing that the Empress had no objection, the palace maids hid aside and enjoyed their leisure time.

Luo Li called Gao Ruoying and Yang Yanqi by name first, "Ruoying and Yanqi, you two come over and serve the birthday cakes. Let the Princess and Lady She taste my cooking first."

Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying smiled and stood up and walked forward. They took the plates of cream cakes from Luo Li's hands, happily took them back to honor their mother, gave a portion to their sister-in-law, and then sat down to enjoy the delicious food.

Two eunuchs brought a box of plates and placed them aside. Three or four palace maids helped pass the plates. The silly princess worked hard to cut the shou cakes piece by piece. She

totally disregarded her image and the noble status of the Princess of Qin.

The noble ladies smiled secretly with their hands covering their lips, and stood up one after another to take the shou cakes that the silly princess had personally distributed.

Although Rong Yanran was a little afraid of the silly princess, she couldn't help but stand up and ask for a portion for her mother and herself when she saw others eating happily and praising the food.

Luo Li saw Rong Yanran's figure from the corner of her eye and said inwardly!

[Here she comes! 】

He separated a strand of his consciousness and entered the space, and dug out a bottle of itchy powder from the bottles of poison sent by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor.

He looked up at Rong Yanran's fair neck and long nails painted with cardamom, and thought that if he scratched it, there would be beautiful bloodstains!

Luo Li smiled at Rong Yanran who was lowering her head in front of her without bearing any grudges, cut off two pieces of birthday cake, one big and one small, and gave an enthusiastic instruction.

"This big piece is for the elders to eat. I'm afraid there won't be enough to share, so the younger ones can just share some to try."

Rong Yanran thanked him, then returned to her seat with the plate, gave the big piece to her mother, put the small piece in front of herself, and picked up the small silver spoon to taste it.

Seeing that the silly princess did not embarrass Rong Yanran, Zhao Zhiya also stood up and went to the front to serve birthday cake to her mother.

Luo Li raised a wicked smile at the corner of her lips, separated a strand of consciousness and entered the space, and pulled out the laxative that the ghost hand poison doctor said would cause severe abdominal pain after eating, and even run to the toilet and then pull out the pants.

There were still two pieces, one big and one small, and she still enthusiastically instructed, "Cut a big piece for Madam Zhao to eat. I'm afraid there won't be enough to share, so the younger ones can just have a small piece to try." The

arrogant Zhao Zhiya could only bow her head and say thank you, then carry the plate back to her own table and share the food with her mother to taste it.

The wives and daughters of the court officials of lower rank and status looked at the succulent cake that was getting smaller and smaller with their eyes wide open, and their stomachs watered.

They were all grateful in their hearts that the silly princess was a kind and filial person, and only gave big pieces to the elders and small pieces to the younger ones.

Otherwise, when it was our turn, I'm afraid this unique and delicious succulent cake would be gone.

Empress Mingde raised the empty plate in her hand, smiling and shouting to Luo Li: "Princess Qin, I want another piece!"

Luo Li quickly agreed and cut another piece for the Empress. The Empress

was not the only one who didn't eat enough. Seeing that the Empress took the lead in asking for the second piece, they all smiled and opened their mouths.

Luo Li was busy with her hands, cutting one by one, and her eyes stole a few glances in the direction of Rong Yanran and Zhao Zhiya.

In her heart, she cursed the old guy, the ghost-handed poison doctor, for bragging? Why hasn't the drug taken effect yet?

While tasting the delicacies made by the princess, Zhao Defang, the Prince of Qin, was wondering what tricks his princess was going to play?

It was absolutely strange and problematic that someone who was always incredibly lazy was working so hard to cut the succotash for everyone.

Rong Yanran suddenly felt an itch on her neck!

She tried to control herself from scratching it, so as not to lose her composure in front of everyone.

But her neck was getting more and more itchy, as if countless ants were crawling around under her skin!

She really couldn't help it! ...

: "Yan'er! What's wrong with you? Why are you grabbing your collar?!" Madam Rong beside her was horrified.

: "Mom! I'm almost itchy!..." Rong Yanran cried and grabbed her collar desperately, and then grabbed her face!

: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't grab your face! It's all broken!" Madam Rong was so scared that her voice trembled, and she leaned over and grabbed her daughter's hands.

: "Mom! I'm itchy!..." Rong Yanran struggled to get her hands out, and grabbed her face and collar again, and her whole body was twitching from the itching!

Luo Li was happy in her heart!

[The ghost hand disciple is still quite reliable! 】

Everyone in the hall was surprised to see that Rong Yanran's pretty face was already covered with bloodstains, her face was hideous and terrifying, and she was still crying and struggling desperately to grab.

The Queen Mother put down the silver spoon in her hand and ordered, "Take her down to let the imperial physician take a look, don't embarrass herself here."

Rong Yanran was taken away by two palace maids holding her arms. Madam Rong hurriedly apologized and ran out with her daughter.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, wondering if Rong Yanran had run into a ghost in broad daylight, or if she had a hidden illness?

The corners of Qin Wang Zhao Defang's lips curled up with a smile.

【My silly princess is not the kind of person who will suffer losses!

I wonder what kind of means she used? 】

Just as Rong Yanran was sent out, Zhao Zhiya suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach!

Hold on! Hold on! This is the Queen's birthday banquet, you have to hold on even if you grit your teeth!

Zhao Zhiya's face turned pale as paper in a moment due to the severe abdominal pain! A layer of sweat appeared on her forehead!

Madam Zhao noticed that something was wrong with her daughter, and asked anxiously, "Ya'er, what happened to you?"

Zhao Zhiya's voice was weak with pain, "Mom! I suddenly have a severe abdominal pain... Mom, I need to go to the toilet!"

Madam Zhao quickly stood up and apologized to the Empress, "Your Majesty, my daughter suddenly has a severe abdominal pain. I will take her out first."

The Empress waved her hand and said considerately, "Go! If it hurts too much, let the imperial physician take a look."

Madam Zhao thanked her, took her daughter and walked out of the hall.

Zhao Zhiya had unbearable abdominal pain, and she covered her stomach and followed her mother out with her waist bent.

Just as they reached the door of the hall, people nearby heard the sound of "Puff! Puff!..." and a foul odor came to their noses!

Yang Yanqi, who had sharp eyes, suddenly stretched his neck and shouted loudly, "Miss Zhao's pants are pooped!"

Gao Ruoying also shouted loudly, "Miss Zhao's skirt is full of yellow juice! Oh! The ground is full of juice!"

Everyone in the hall was disgusted! People near the door of the hall couldn't help but vomit.

Zhao Zhiya covered her face with shame and anger and cried out loudly. She had to run quickly to the toilet because of the unbearable pain in her stomach!

The Queen's face suddenly became gloomy, and she stood up and said, "What a spoilsport, today's birthday banquet is over!"

Queen Mingde led the palace maids out of the front door of the hall, and several concubines and virtuous concubines also stood up and left.

After the female members knelt down to bid farewell, they led their daughters or wives out of the hall, laughing and talking in confusion, and walked out of the palace.

Luo Li blinked at Yang Yanqi, Gao Ruoying, and Princess Yongqing who had gathered around her, and asked in a confused manner, "I haven't even had the birthday banquet yet and it's over?"

Yang Yanqi had to hold back her laughter and punched the pretentious "bad guy" on the shoulder.

Gao Ruoying was having a hard time holding back her laughter. She shook her shoulders and teased, "Let's go! If the Princess of Qin is greedy, there's yellow soup over there for you to try!"

Although Princess Yongqing didn't know that what happened today was the work of the Empress' sister-in-law, she quickly stepped forward, took Luo Li's hand and advised, "Imperial sister-in-law, we can't eat this birthday banquet. It's so disgusting. Would you like to go with me to the Queen Mother's place to eat something?"

Luo Li was very happy . She said with a look of regret, "Alas! It's a pity that there are so many exquisite dishes, but we haven't even started eating yet!

I've been busy distributing birthday cakes to everyone for half a day, and I'm so hungry, but I don't have a single bite to eat.

Yongqing, I'll visit my mother another day. I have to hurry back to the palace to eat some leftover birthday cakes."

Several people who fell behind and the eunuchs and palace maids who were busy cleaning up all felt sorry for the silly princess. She was busy for everyone for a long time regardless of her noble status, but she herself was hungry and looked pitiful.
