Zhao Huang sat down, followed by Zhao Ce. Jiang Yao quickly pushed Su Qianji over, then quietly retreated to the back.
She hoped that no one would discover them, but that was impossible. Langqi hadn't even come in, and there were only four of them in the room.
Because of her action, two pairs of eyes looked over.
Zhao Huang said with a straight face: "I said I was asking you to eat at the same table, not to tease you, why don't you take a seat?"
——Alas, I still can’t escape it.
Jiang Yao walked over with a smile: "Sorry, I'm used to it."
Su Qianji didn't say anything and didn't bother to pay attention to her sudden humility.
Jiang Yao walked to the table and hesitated.
The table is so big and there are so many stools, where should she sit?
——I really want to sit at the end of the table, so that I don’t have to worry about Suqianji, who is such a big trouble, and I can enjoy some peace and quiet.
He suddenly glanced at the wheelchair, his face as black as charcoal.
Jiang Yao decisively chose to sit next to Su Qianji.
"Let's start the meal."
As soon as Zhao Huang gave the order, a group of palace maids rushed to the door instantly. They were all young girls, wearing the same clothes, wearing the same hairstyle, and even their movements were the same.
This was the first time Jiang Yao had seen such neatly-dressed palace maids. As expected, the well-trained ones looked pleasing to the eye.
She had seen the process of eating before: rinsing the mouth, wiping the mouth, washing the hands, and then drinking the pre-meal soup.
Jiang Yao followed the example of Su Qianji standing next to him and did the same thing.
When she looked up, she saw Zhao Ce opposite her seemed to be looking at her, and she was momentarily panicked.
But she didn't think so, and when she looked again, she saw that his gaze was not on her, but on the man next to her.
——Tsk tsk, such a loving look. It’s just a meal, but he couldn’t bear the longing and stared at each other from afar. I didn’t expect that Zhao Ce was such an infatuated person.
Su Qianji's fingers holding the chopsticks soon turned white. He would rather hear Jiang Yao scolding him in his heart than hear some speculation about him and Zhao Ce.
"Master Su, this wild yellow croaker was just caught yesterday. I specially asked the kitchen to cook it lightly." As Zhao Huang spoke, the maid brought a plate of fish. "Master Su, try it and see if it suits your taste."
Jiang Yao lowered his head, and his fox eyes lit up instantly.
—Wild yellow croaker? Is this the wild yellow croaker I know?
She took a quick look and saw that the fish on the plate was indeed large, weighing at least seven or eight kilograms.
——Oh my God, it’s so big and fat, it must be delicious... and it must be expensive... Suku Chisai is really lucky, I want to try it too.
In modern times, wild yellow croaker is becoming less and less common, and the price is getting higher and higher. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan to eat one. She thinks it is a waste to spend so much money to buy a fish, so she has never tried it.
But there is one right in front of me, it is big and fat, and I don’t have to spend any money.
only……
Jiang Yao blinked and looked at the man next to him.
——Will Sukuchisai give me food? No, he won’t.
Su Qianji couldn't stop laughing. It was really a voice in his heart that said he was so useless.
"What makes Qianji so happy?" Zhao Ce noticed the smile on his face and asked.
Su Qianji's expression was indifferent, and the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.
"Did I laugh?"
Zhao Ce was stunned: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
"Jiang Yao."
Jiang Yao immediately sat up straight, knowing that what was coming could not be avoided.
"Mr. Su, please speak."
"Tickling fish."
"Okay, Mr. Su."
Zhao Huang gestured to the palace maid behind Su Qianji and said, "Cut the fish for Master Su." Then he looked at Su Qianji and said, "Master Su, let Jiang Yao sit down and eat today. You can let the palace maid handle such trivial matters."
Su Qianji didn't even raise his eyelids, just staring at the fish on the table: "Does Emperor Zhao have any objections to how I command my maidservants?"
Zhao Huang's expression froze, and he gave a look to the palace maid who was approaching, and the palace maid quickly stepped back.
Su Qianji's attitude towards Zhao Huang was not very good, but it could not be said to be bad either, because Su Qianji was indifferent and distant to everyone, as if he were a high and mighty god.
Jiang Yao saw it and kept it in mind.
——Su Qianji is such a guy that even Zhao Huang is afraid of him. I must not provoke him.
Then he stood up again, smiled at Zhao Huang and said, "Your Majesty, serving Master Su is my duty. If you send a palace maid, you will be stealing my job."
This made Zhao Huang look better. "I forgot. In that case, you can serve Master Su his meal."
Jiang Yao picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a large piece of fish into the serving bowl, handling it with such care as if it were a treasure.
The fish landed safely in the bowl. Because she picked up the fish from the back, there were no bones on it at all. She tested it with her chopsticks before picking it up with confidence.
Just when he handed it halfway, the man glanced at him sideways with a hint of forbearance on his face.
Jiang Yao's hands trembled. She had always had good observation skills and now understood some of Su Qianji's subtle expressions.
For example, now, he was unhappy when he saw the fish she handed over. It was probably because the piece of meat she picked up was not neat, and it was a little unrecognizable because she poked it when checking the fish bones.
Jiang Yao shrank his neck and whispered, "Master Su, the fish can only be prepared like this."
The implication is that she tried her best.
The man withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and spoke in a restrained voice: "I don't want this piece."
Jiang Yao widened her eyes, as if she was the abandoned piece of fish, and her cheeks turned red with anger.
"Master Su doesn't want this fish, is it going to be thrown away?"
——This is wild yellow croaker. I have never been able to bear to eat a bite of it in my life.
"Wouldn't it be a waste to throw away such an expensive fish?" the man asked her.
At that moment, Jiang Yao's mind raced, his eyes sparkling. "That can't be wasted. If you give it to me, it won't be wasted. Isn't that right, Master Su?"
Su Qianji didn't say anything, but Jiang Yao didn't see any resistance in his indifferent expression.
That's the default.
——I can finally taste the legendary wild yellow croaker that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan each. I suddenly feel so honored.
Jiang Yao swallowed, picked up his chopsticks and stuffed the fish into his mouth.
——Wow, it really tastes like something worth hundreds of thousands. It’s so delicious. The light taste is just right, and it completely retains the freshness of the fish. The taste is amazing.
While eating, Zhao Ce looked up and saw Jiang Yao eating fish with his eyes narrowed like a fed kitten. He was so cute that people wanted to touch him.
Zhao Huang took in Zhao Ce's expression, then glanced at Jiang Yao. She was a smart girl, and contrary to the rumors outside, not all girls in the Jiang family were that bad.
After eating a piece of fish, Jiang Yao followed suit, picking out the fish bones more and more rudely. Every time he handed it to him, the man's brows furrowed deeper.
In this way, Jiang Yao ate the whole plate of fish, while Su Qianji didn't eat a single bite.
Seeing that the plate was empty, the palace maid hurried forward and left. Only then did Jiang Yao realize that he had eaten the whole fish.
She felt good while eating it, but now she felt scared again.
