Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 287 Eyes flirting 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

Xiao Yueyao ate a lot of dim sum made by concubines these days, and felt a little unsatisfactory.

Those snacks look really good, but they always taste wrong.

There is no comparison with the chef.

But, since I ate the pastries made by Li Pin herself.

Xiao Yueyao's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered something.

This concubine Li's craftsmanship is really incomparable to other concubines.

It's just that since Xiao Yueyao closed the door frequently to thank guests, many concubines came here for a few days, and they became disheartened and never came again.

Even Lipin didn't come.

—

The day of the winter solstice has finally come.

Although this festival is not big, it is a festival after all.

Every household in the folk will eat dumplings on this day.

The palace is no exception.

Only the queen mother and the queen brought a group of concubines to celebrate the winter solstice, and even invited a few princes in the capital.

There are many people, and it is more lively.

On the day of the winter solstice, Xiao Yueyao lazily stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and simply didn't bother to go back.

Therefore, when he appeared at the Winter Solstice Dumpling Banquet, he appeared with His Majesty.

Ye Mohan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, appeared in the sight of everyone with a tall and slender figure, which immediately attracted most of the attention.

At the same time, people's eyes were attracted by the woman standing beside the Emperor.

Xiao Yueyao is wearing a goose yellow jacket and skirt today, with a cloak of cloud-patterned golden thread on the outside, her hair is simply tied up, and only a piece of Jinbuyao is simply inserted, not as grand as other empresses.

With such a simple hairstyle, it makes people feel that today's banquet is really like a casual meal for the family.

The tension in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

But with Ye Mohan's gloomy and cold face, it's really hard for people to relax completely.

Xiao Yueyao untied her cloak, and a court lady stepped forward to take it.

When I looked at it, I didn't feel anything.

But when Xiao Yueyao took it off, everyone saw it.

Ye Mohan was dressed in bright yellow, and Xiao Yueyao was dressed in goose yellow, which made everyone's eyes linger on them for a few more seconds.

What's the matter with this inexplicable feeling of good match.

Men are handsome, women are pretty.

But at the moment, the queen who was wearing bright red seemed a bit redundant.

Everyone was paying respects, so they could only sneak a look at this side.

My eyes are almost cramping.

Ye Mohan took Jiacai and slowly sat down.

"rise……"

When Eunuch Li's voice sounded, everyone got up and returned to their seats. The queen led all the concubines to the ceremony, and got up one after another.

As soon as Xiao Yueyao sat down, she looked around from below.

Because King Beiding is the hero.

His eyes lingered on King Beiding for a few more seconds.

Today is a family banquet, so it is not surprising that King Beiding will come.

It's just that when Xiao Yueyao just looked over.

King Beiding seemed to have noticed something immediately, and also looked up.

The four eyes met, Xiao Yueyao felt inexplicably embarrassed, so she turned her eyes away.

But where Xiao Yueyao couldn't see, the heavy eyes of King Beiding stared at her for a long time.

Could it be that she is also interested in him?
King Beiding shook his head, shaking off the thoughts he shouldn't have at the moment.

After all, she was Ye Mohan's concubine, so how could she have feelings for him.

Xiao Yueyao withdrew her gaze and was about to get something to eat, but she looked at the table.

In addition to dumplings, there are still dumplings on the table, as well as dipping materials such as soy sauce and vinegar.

Xiao Yueyao really has no interest in dumplings.

And Yu Qing, who was sitting in the corner, also had the same ugly expression as Xiao Yueyao.

At this moment, the Queen spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut are made by my concubine, the ones stuffed with cabbage and pork are made by my concubine Zhen, the ones stuffed with eggs and leeks are made by my sister Yan, and this..."

The queen seemed to want to introduce more, but Ye Mohan was already impatient and waved his hand.

The queen's smiling face froze, and she could only sit back resentfully.

Ye Qing'er sat on the side of the female relatives, seeing that the queen had already spoken, she also spoke immediately.

"Today's dumplings are delicious. I didn't expect them to be made by the Empress and other palace maids. When I first entered the capital, I heard that the ladies in the palace are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems that the cooking skills are not bad. It really is as good as the hall and the kitchen."

Ye Qing'er's words coaxed all the concubines to look rosy.

Ye Qing'er continued: "But Qing'er is so blessed because of the Empress Dowager."

Who doesn't like to hear good words.

Ye Qing'er's words almost praised everyone.

Xiao Yueyao raised her eyes slightly and looked over.

He met Ye Qing'er's eyes.

During the dumpling banquet during the winter solstice, some princes or concubines came.

Ye Qing'er was the only outsider in the audience.

Ye Qing'er also saw Xiao Yueyao.

There was a hint of insidiousness in the smiling eyes.

Since King Beiding appeared, her eyes seemed to be glued to King Beiding.

Naturally, Xiao Yueyao and Ye Mingchen's eye contact was not missed.

He also didn't miss Ye Mingchen's abnormal gaze on Xiao Yueyao.

Without the matter of brother Mingchen, Ye Qing'er would have trouble getting along with Xiao Yueyao.

Who let Xiao Yueyao ruin her good deed.

If it wasn't for Xiao Yueyao, brother Mingchen's marriage with her would have already been settled.

Rather than being locked in the Lin Mansion all the time, it was not released until today.

Ye Qing'er frowned.

Thinking of Xiao Yueyao and Ye Mingchen's eye contact, and thinking of the incident where Xiao Yueyao went to report on herself.

Could it be that Xiao Yueyao really... likes brother Mingchen?
Ye Qing'er's breathing was stagnant, but the Queen Mother was talking, so she could only let go of her thoughts temporarily.

"Ai's family has not seen you for a long time, and let you enter the palace to have a lively time..."

Ye Qing'er smiled very sweetly.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager..."

After saying this, Ye Qing'er turned her eyes and landed on the figure that was hard to ignore sitting beside Ye Mohan.

Xiao Yueyao seemed dissatisfied with today's food, her small mouth was slightly pouted, looking for something barely edible.

Ye Qing'er looked at Xiao Yueyao, and pulled her thin lips: "I heard that many empresses have cooked food today, I don't know what kind of stuffing Concubine Xiao made? Qing'er has always heard that Concubine Xiao's cooking skills are good, so I just want to try it."

Xiao Yueyao paused and looked up.

Listening to Ye Qing'er's words, everyone also looked up.

In my heart, I called this Princess Beiming really brave.

Now Concubine Xiao is the most favored, sitting closest to His Majesty, when everyone talks to Concubine Xiao, they all give way to Concubine Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone also knew that Concubine Xiao didn't make dumplings.

Princess Beiming was looking for trouble after she had nothing to do, so she brought up this topic.

I don't know if I was looking for something on purpose.

Everyone couldn't help but turned their heads to look at Xiao Yueyao.

I saw that Xiao Yueyao raised her eyes to look at Ye Qing'er, then looked away, and leaned lazily in Ye Mohan's arms.

"Your Majesty, sister Qinger is mocking my concubine for not being able to make dumplings..."
