Chapter 196
Dinner table

Li Baojia couldn't stop chirping like a little sparrow. Mrs. Li listened beside her and was amused by her from time to time.

Originally, because Zhao Yi came to have dinner, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense, but it was much better now.

Zhao Yi silently served her soup and vegetables beside him. He carefully picked out the fish and meat before handing it to her.

Li Baojia took it for granted, but the people around him were only surprised when they saw it.

He has been here a few times, and every time he sees such a scene, he can't help but be frightened.

Li Wangde smiled and held his beard and said nothing, but the light in his eyes flashed.

He is naturally proud of himself. If his daughter is favored, the Li family will only rise with the tide.

Huang Ru'er was always worried, so she felt a little relieved when she saw this scene, and then quietly glared at Li Baojia.

This kid doesn't know how to be considerate at all, and he doesn't know how to grow a heart.

So she quickly picked up a chopstick and put it into Zhao Yi's bowl: "Your Highness, please use more. That child is spoiled by the family and has no rules. Don't blame Your Highness."

Zhao Yi's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Huang Gao behind him screamed inwardly.

Mrs. Huang doesn't understand the Crown Prince's habits, and she doesn't understand the rules much better than the Crown Princess.

He was extremely mysophobic and would never eat the food served by others. Even when the emperor was serving food, he would leave it in the bowl. Besides, she was holding her own chopsticks. What kind of rule was this?
Huang Ruer quickly realized this. She actually forgot about this incident just now and used her own chopsticks to pick up the food for the prince!
Her smile was a little forced, the hand holding the chopsticks shook, and Li Wangde coughed twice in embarrassment.

Zhao Yi lowered his eyes and glanced quietly at the pieces of magnolia in the celadon bowl. The dinner table was a little quiet for a while, except for Li Baojia who was still chewing vegetables happily.

He finally picked up the chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Huang Gao behind him lowered his head to hide his shock.

Li Baojia finally felt that the silence on the table was too much, turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yi, pouting at Huang Ruer and saying coquettishly: "Mom is partial, why do you only give him food? I want it too!"

The atmosphere at the table suddenly relaxed, and everyone laughed. Mrs. Li laughed and said: "Baojia is still a child at such an old age, so you have to be jealous, don't you be ashamed."

Huang Ruer also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up a chopstick for Li Baojia and said, "Look at you, there are already so many people picking up food for you, and I am not missing."

She suddenly felt that her daughter was really powerful, and she seemed to be a normal person when getting along with the prince. This was probably the benefit of being careless.

She no longer dared to care about these things. She was so frightened just now that her face turned pale.

Just now she thought the prince was going to reprimand her for being unruly, but he actually ate the dish.

This was a great honor for her, but her palms were already slightly sweaty and her heart was beating fast.

Royal rules are strict, and she was so complacent just now that she really regarded Zhao Yi as her son-in-law.

Li Wangde glared at Huang Ruer vaguely, didn't he understand his wife yet?

She usually doesn't speak well, and her actions are usually unpleasant. She is just a woman, so naturally she doesn't know the prince as well as he did in the court for so many years. He was sweating just looking at her.

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, because the mighty general Liu Ye gave him a piece of duck meat with the chopsticks he had eaten at the celebration banquet, he threw the table on the spot and left.

The general in the back was not allowed to be reused, his military power was reduced, and his real power was seized. It was miserable.

Don't overestimate the emperor's views, and the same goes for the prince.

Using your own used chopsticks to pick up food for the emperor and prince is a form of contempt, without rules and regulations, and getting carried away.

Li Rulan looked at this scene calmly, feeling a little disdain in her heart.

Although Huang Ru'er could be considered her mother, she really felt ashamed that the rules were as bad as her daughter's and she had learned them all in vain.

It's a pity that the prince didn't show off his face on the spot, otherwise it would have been a good show.

Of course they don't know.

The emperor got angry because his minister used chopsticks that had been in his mouth to pick up food for him. The main reason was that he felt that his imperial power was being challenged. Zhao Yi had nothing but pure mysophobia.

Li Baojia ate the food, smiled sweetly, and gave Zhao Yi a chopstick to eat: "Your Highness, if you eat this, I will pick up the food for you. Then my mother will complain about my inconsideration."

Zhao Yi ate it quickly, looked at her and smiled and said, "Jia Jia is very considerate."

After the meal, Huang Ru'er became more disciplined, and she thought about what she said, for fear of saying something wrong.

Li Rulan may have thought that the prince was quite observant, but she couldn't bear to see Li Baojia chattering.

She took on the eldest sister's aura and said in a slightly admonishing tone: "Mother, you have to eat before you sleep, so please eat quickly."

Li Baojia turned his head and stopped talking, blinking his round eyes, and sighed in his heart. He was indeed Mrs. Qing's favorite disciple, so he followed the rules.

Zhao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rulan and said: "Nothing, there is no need to follow these rules when eating as a family. Just say whatever you want."

Mrs. Li said: "What Your Highness said is that Ru Lan has too many rules."

Then he turned to Li Rulan and said softly: "My sister is young and it doesn't matter if she is more lively. You don't need to bring the rules of your residence to the Li family."

Li Rulan choked and was speechless for a while. After a long time, she said, "Yes, your highness and grandmother said so."

She just tried to be smart, but she was scolded instead, which made her feel bad.

For a moment, she felt like a light on her back, as if the people around her and the maids behind her were laughing at her. She was not favored in this family and was not as good as Li Baojia in any way.

He is a poor man who pays no attention to rules.

The chopsticks were almost deformed by her pinching. It was always like this. When she said something at home, someone would refute her. Wherever she went, the laughter stopped.

Li Baojia was loved by everyone, and even the maids in the mansion were close to her.

ridiculous.

There is no rule without rules. People like her... people like her are loved by everyone.

Everyone had different thoughts about the meal, but they finally finished it.

Li Rulan quickly excused herself because she felt unwell. She walked on the road with a calm expression. The maid next to her said unconvinced: "Madam, the people in the family are really partial. No wonder you don't like it here."

She was the maid she brought from the Hou Mansion, and she was a little angry when she spoke.

Li Rulan smiled bitterly: "I'm used to it now, don't say it again."

The maid was even more distressed by her humiliating herself like this: "Madam, why didn't you tell the Grand Tutor just now..."

Li Rulan knew that she was talking about her mother. Her eyes flashed and she said, "It's not too urgent. My sister is in the spotlight now. How could my father let my mother go? It's useless for me to mention it now."

Only when her sister is in trouble will Qin Ke have a chance to come out.
