Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 449 She figured it out
Beautiful music sounded, and dancers in white gauze dance clothes danced gracefully in the hall.

The eyes of the noble ladies who matched the dancers' clothes twitched uncontrollably. They regretted that they wore such clothes today. Even the dancers were wearing the same clothes as them, so they looked even more inconspicuous, let alone the emperor. Even the eyes of other men cannot enter.

The dishes were served one by one, and the palace maids in pink half-armor skirts came in and put the small cups covered with lids in front of everyone. When the lid was opened, it was sliced ​​soft-boiled abalone, because it was placed horizontally. When cut, each piece looks quite big.

Bai Jieyu glanced at the sliced ​​soft-boiled abalone on the table, and then looked around. Seeing that no one thought there was anything strange about the abalone, she breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently there was no problem with her handling of the abalone.

The kitten was held by Feng Chenghan, so Leng Luoyue could enjoy the food leisurely. She finished the runny abalone slices in two or three mouthfuls. The abalone was still very delicious, very fresh, and full of flavor. Portions are a bit small.

"Why is this abalone so small?" With her excellent hearing, she heard someone whispering below.

She rarely eats abalone like this, so she doesn't think it's small.

The next dish was sea cucumber. When the palace maid served the dish, the dancers had finished their dance, knelt down and recited the congratulations, and then left after being rewarded.

The sea cucumbers are also served one per person, placed in a small white porcelain cup and covered with a lid.

Many people were startled when they opened the lid, suspecting that they had seen it wrong. Some even rubbed their eyes. Yes, the sea cucumber was as small as they saw.

"Why are the sea cucumbers in this palace so small?" Someone couldn't help but whispered.

The person next to him also pursed his lips and said: "Yes! Our family doesn't even use such a small sea cucumber when entertaining guests. I didn't expect to see it at a palace banquet." It was the emperor's birthday banquet.

The people at the same table looked up and saw that the emperor and concubines looked as usual, so they whispered: "The palace now advocates frugality and prohibits extravagance and waste, so that's why we use such a small sea cucumber."

"Oh..." The first person to speak raised his eyebrows. Using such a small sea cucumber for a banquet would be too frugal for the palace.

Zhang Su was eating sea cucumber, but Captain Qi, who was sitting at the same table with him, frowned and stared at the sea cucumber in the bowl and said, "Why is this sea cucumber so small?"

"Is it small?" Zhang Su ate it up in one bite. This dish was not available in the previous two palace banquets, and this was the first time he had it, so he didn't feel it was small.

"Isn't that small?" the captain asked, "This sea cucumber should be the lowest-quality sea cucumber. At the emperor's birthday banquet, you can actually eat a second-class sea cucumber. It's really unexpected. "Silently smacking his tongue and shaking his head.

Leng Luoyue lowered her eyes and looked at the sea cucumber in front of her. This sea cucumber is still small, and the other one is much bigger. The ancient sea cucumbers are too good!

Thinking this, she looked down and then blinked.

Bai Jieyu is really an expert at saving money. They and those with high official titles eat sea cucumbers, while the others eat small sea cucumbers. She has figured out how to save money.

The reason for accepting the sea cucumber was due to frugality in the palace, so everyone picked it up with chopsticks and ate it.

The imperial doctor lowered his head and was about to bite when he saw the sea cucumber picked up by the opposite right minister. The sea cucumber was more than half the size of his own. He immediately had a meal and looked at other people's sea cucumbers.It was found that people like Chang'an King, Yun Taifu and the Right Prime Minister all had large sea cucumbers, while people with lower official titles than them ate small sea cucumbers.

He was so angry that he put down his chopsticks. It was too much. Even if he had a banquet in the palace, this dish would be considered official status.how?Second-grade officials like them are the same as those of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade officials. Do they not deserve to eat sea cucumbers, but only small sea cucumbers?

The little sea cucumbers in the bowl seemed to be laughing at him, saying: "You deserve it, you deserve it, you only deserve to eat little sea cucumbers like me. My grandfather only eats them for people of noble status." "What's wrong?" Mrs. Yushi Seeing that he suddenly became angry, he asked in a low voice.

The imperial censor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he did not speak.

What should he say?You said that your husband, I am not a high-ranking official and can only eat small sea cucumbers. Do you think I am also worthy of eating small sea cucumbers?
Many people have discovered this problem, and their faces have become a little ugly. Although they come to the palace for a banquet, they should eat whatever food is served, even the wild vegetables they have to eat with a smile.But it is a bit insulting that the same people who came to the banquet were separated and waited for a long time, and the dishes were served according to their official positions.

Seeing that many ministers stopped eating and changed their expressions, Bai Jieyu knew that they had discovered the problem of sea cucumber size. She swallowed nervously and comforted herself in her heart. Even if they found out, they would not tell them directly. Yes, after all, this is in the palace.

Except for Leng Luoyue, all the concubines in the harem received the news from the imperial dining room. Lu Meiren, who had a round face, said in a moderate voice: "Hey, what's wrong with these adults? Why are their faces so ugly? "

This Lu beauty is the daughter of General Zhongwu. She has always loved to eat, so she also looks fat, round and rich. Bai Jieyu reduced the number of harem members, so she could not eat what she wanted to eat as before, and she lost weight. I was very dissatisfied with Bai Jieyu in my heart. Today I got news about the imperial dining room, so I naturally wanted to vent my dissatisfaction.

Bai Jieyu froze and bit her lower lip. Lu Meiren, a damn fat person, couldn't she keep her mouth shut with so much food?
Qu Cairen, who was sitting next to Lu Meiren, glanced down and said, "It's true! Are you not satisfied with the taste of the meal?"

Feng Chenghan heard the conversation between the two and frowned slightly. He glanced around and found that many ministers had ugly expressions.

what happened?

"You've already eaten a piece." He lowered his head and grabbed the little cat's hand that was trying to get the pastry.

The caught kitten shrank its neck, its glazed eyes rolled in its sockets for the first time, "The kitten doesn't want to eat, so give it to the father."

"Ha..." Feng Chenghan chuckled. The greedy kitten was caught, and he said it was for him.

Little Kitten: "Father won't eat it, and the cat won't take it..."

Feng Chenghan stopped smiling, looked at the ministers sitting below and asked, "Are you ladies dissatisfied with the taste of the meal? All of them look so ugly?"

Minister with an ugly face, you look at me, I look at you, they all controlled their facial expressions, no one dared to speak.

The imperial censor, however, was very strong-willed. He stood up directly and said, "Your Majesty, I am not dissatisfied with the taste of the meal, but there is something unclear."

"What's the matter?" Feng Chenghan's face darkened.

Bai Jieyu was so nervous that her breathing became rapid, her palms were covered in sweat, it was too bad, she couldn't hide it anymore.

She is doing this to save money. The emperor shouldn't blame her, right?
The imperial censor opened his mouth, and then suddenly realized that he was such a big official and still so old, and he still cared so much about the size of sea cucumbers. Why did he have to ask in front of the emperor why he only deserved to eat small sea cucumbers?It seems that he is too petty. If this was arranged by the emperor, what would the emperor think of him?
So he shut his mouth again.

"Speak." Feng Chenghan's voice was slightly cold. What he hated the most was this kind of person. People who said they had something to say or asked, but didn't say anything. This imperial censor was so smooth-talking when he gave advice. Of?
