Chapter 16 Official Banquet ([-])

The queen also frowned, looking incomprehensible.

Liu Ruxuan at the side saw the roast duck that Zeng Xiaoxiao took out, and immediately put on a fake face.

"Empress, little girl, she wouldn't be so ignorant before, she must be careless this time." Liu Ruxuan pretended to plead.

What a white lotus, amazing.

Seeing Liu Ruxuan like this, Zeng Xiaoxiao directly ignored her.Because she knew in her heart how arrogant Liu Ruxuan was now, and how embarrassing she would be later.

The queen naturally understood what Liu Ruxuan meant, and a disgusted expression appeared on her face.Even with Zeng Xiaoxiao.

The queen waved her hand and signaled the maid to carry it down.

At this time, Xu Fengning on the side pulled Zeng Xiaoxiao's sleeve nervously.

"Empress, don't worry." Zeng Xiaoxiao watched the queen's operation, and stopped the maid who was about to get up. She touched the hand of her mother Xu Fengning, signaling her not to panic.

On the other side, Zeng Xiaoxiao asked Qiu'er to bring the hot oil prepared in advance, and gently poured it on the roast duck.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao's actions, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, how can she make flowers by adding something?Can a roast duck turn into a phoenix?

I saw that it was a complete roast duck just now, but it was scattered into pieces after being poured with hot oil, and spread neatly on the plate. A pattern slowly formed on the plate, it was a phoenix spreading its wings and flying.

The original golden duck skin, also because of the hot oil, has a tangy aroma and a more dazzling color. From a distance, it looks like a phoenix reborn from nirvana, shining brilliantly.

The wives and ladies who were still discussing and wanting to see a joke became very quiet.They swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their eyes were burning, full of anticipation, as if they all wanted to taste it.

"What a phoenix Yu Fei! Xiao Xiao, how many surprises do you have that I don't know?" The queen stood up excitedly.

"This is great joy! Congratulations to the empress for a thousand years!" Seeing this, everyone knelt down and congratulated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come up." The queen was very happy and ordered.

"Let me just say it, Xiaoxiao has always been sensible!" Liu Ruxuan saw the queen's warning eyes towards her, and her tone revealed unnaturalness.

Immediately, in order to hide her embarrassment, Liu Ruxuan ate the fruit on the table.

"Pretentious!" Seeing that the mockery failed, Madam Hu could only whisper in private.

Although the voice was low, the Queen still heard it.

"Xiao Xiao, did you make this yourself?" The queen asked meaningfully, but she knew that Zeng Xiaoxiao had always loved the Four Books and Five Classics, but she never knew how to cook.

"Taste it first, and I'll tell you after I eat it." At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxiao had already walked to the queen's side and knelt on one knee.

Unexpectedly, when the ladies and ladies below heard Zeng Xiaoxiao's words, they rioted again.Some of them were surprised, some covered their mouths and smirked, and some were worried.

Everyone knows that the empress has a slight anorexia, and she is very picky about food. She often gets angry because things don't meet her expectations, so no one dares to offer food.

Everyone thought that Zeng Xiaoxiao was just presenting a good omen to the empress, and the roast duck was distributed to the wives and ladies below, who would have thought that she would dare to let the empress eat it.

Zeng Xiaoxiao's behavior is tantamount to plucking a tiger's mouth.Once the empress is angry, she can't lose money by stealing chickens.

Just when everyone thought the queen would not eat it, Zeng Xiaoxiao took a piece of pancake, put some shredded green onion and cucumber, added some duck meat and sauce, and handed it to the queen.To everyone's surprise, the queen actually took a bite.

"Hmm... this taste... a little..." The queen didn't have any expectations at first, she was chewing casually, chewing, she suddenly stopped.

Zeng Xiaoxiao originally had some confidence in the Imperial City Roast Duck, but because of the Queen's stop, his heart ached.

"It's really delicious!" After the queen finished speaking, she actually burst out laughing.

"Fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, with this layer of skin on the outside, it's fat but not greasy, and it's full of fragrance." The maid at the side was surprised to hear the Queen's so many words of evaluation.

Zeng Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her palms, scratched her head and laughed.

"Try it, too." The queen ordered the maids to take half of it and distribute it to the wives and ladies of each mansion.

"Thank you, Empress, for the reward." The ladies knelt down to thank you.

"It's really delicious!" said the tall lady.

Seeing everyone eating happily, the queen was very satisfied. After all, the queen said it was delicious, so naturally no one dared to say it was bad.

"Is it delicious?" the queen asked Mrs. Hu specifically.

"Good...delicious." Mrs. Hu replied shyly.

"Come on, leave the rest for Jiaojiao and Princess Heshun." The queen said while eating a few more mouthfuls.

"Xiao Xiao, you made me very happy, tell me! What reward do you want?" The queen wiped her hands and said.

"The courtier is not welcome!" Zeng Xiaoxiao said happily.

"Just say anything."

"To be honest, empress, this roast duck restaurant was opened by a distant relative of my daughter. My daughter has always admired the calligraphy of empress empress. I would like to ask you to put up a plaque for this restaurant." Zeng Xiaoxiao knelt down, her tone recovered. Calm.

"Don't you ask for something for yourself?" The queen thought that Zeng Xiaoxiao would ask for gold and silver, but she didn't expect it to be just a few words from herself, so she was a little surprised.

"Being able to get the calligraphy of the Queen's Empress is what I want for myself." Zeng Xiaoxiao's flawless answer made the Queen very happy.

"You are so sweet, please." The queen helped Zeng Xiaoxiao up and said.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the queen and Zeng Xiaoxiao, everyone looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao with admiration.

Everyone knows that although the empress was kind to Zhongwang's family in the past, she was never so close in public, because behind the empress was the Chu family's financial resources and power.

And all of this, everyone thought it was Zeng Xiaoxiao's flattery.

"Godmother, just now they said they have something delicious for us, what is it?" Chu Jiaojiao's voice was loud and loud when she heard her voice before seeing her.

A young girl with a quiet and beautiful face also came in together, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly lowered, her red lips were slightly parted, her skin was fair and tender, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.Like a lotus fairy who emerges from the mud but is not stained, it is quiet and beautiful.

Unlike Chu Jiaojiao, she was not ostentatious. From the moment she came in, she first bowed briefly to the queen, and then kept nodding at the ladies and ladies, very polite.

Seeing the sharp contrast between her daughter and Princess Heshun, Liu Ruxuan frowned slightly, got up to pull Chu Jiaojiao, and kept winking at Chu Jiaojiao, signaling her to keep her voice down.

"Yo, Zeng Xiaoxiao, who is disguised as a man, is here too." Chu Jiaojiao continued to yell as if she couldn't understand the wink.The ignorance and fearlessness on his face were evident.

With a plop, before Zeng Xiaoxiao could reply, Liu Ruxuan pulled Chu Jiaojiao to her knees.

Everyone was puzzled.Chu Jiaojiao, as the pre-appointed concubine and the queen's goddaughter, why is Liu Ruxuan still so cautious.

"Empress Empress, Jiaojiao is ignorant and has no rules. The servants must teach them when they go back." Liu Ruxuan is much smarter than Zeng Xiaoxiao. Although she and the empress have been married for many years, she knows that the empress is a person with strict hierarchy and rules.His own daughter called her godmother in public, and she was rude and made a lot of noise, which had already angered the empress.
