Chapter 73
Emperor Jin'an returned with a full load of prey, and the accompanying imperial chef cleaned it up and cooked it together with other ingredients to make delicious dishes.

Since it was out to hunt, it was naturally a little more casual, and the concubines and the family members of the courtiers all sat at the table.

Jun Bi and Su Qianxue sat on both sides of Emperor Jin'an.In contrast, Su Qianxue was dressed in a much grander manner. At first glance, one would think that she was the queen.

Jun Bi simply wore a plain palace dress, her hair was lightly pulled up, and she was paired with an exquisite jasper hairpin. Her whole person was as refreshing and plain as a natural hibiscus with no ornaments.She has a smile on her face, an outstanding temperament, and is graceful and dignified in her every move.

Jun Bi galloped on his horse and had a great time. Now with an empty stomach, he saw the dishes being served one after another, so he quickly enjoyed the food while Emperor Jin'an was talking to others.Although she eats eagerly, her eating appearance is not vulgar, but rather elegant.

Jing Mu sat under Emperor Jin'an, not far from Jun Bi, and was always paying attention to her movements. Naturally, when he saw Jun Bi eating, he was so calm that he couldn't help but smile clearly.He had no choice but to raise his glass to drink, to cover the upward curve of his mouth.

Jing Mu was not the only one paying attention to Jun Bi. Su Qianxue, who was separated on the other side by Emperor Jin'an, was also paying attention to Jun Bi's every move.

When Su Qianxue saw Jun Bi starting to move his chopsticks, she knew that the opportunity had come, so in full view of everyone, she ordered the palace maid to bring Jun Bi a cup of warm milk custard.

Because dairy products are rare in this dynasty, only those who are very familiar with Jun Bi or who have served Jun Bi will know that she is allergic to dairy products, and she will not touch any meals with milk in the palace.

"My sister is so slender, she needs to be healthy and nourishing. This milk custard is delicate and smooth, and it is also a good nourishing product. My sister must try it." Su Qianxue had a sweet smile on her face, and her voice was full of concern Hearing it so softly, Emperor Jin'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Emperor Jin'an naturally never paid attention to whether Jun Bi could eat dairy products. He only thought that Su Qianxue was reasonable today and did not argue with Jun Bi as usual.From the perspective of others, it is also a harmonious scene of deep sisterly love.

Jun Bi pursed her lips lightly, she didn't want to have more troubles with Su Qianxue in public, if there was a real quarrel, it would be embarrassing for the royal family, but it would only increase the laughingstock.She nodded and smiled, "Thank you, sister, for your kindness."

Jun Bi didn't touch the milk custard, but pushed it aside unobtrusively.

Jun Bi had already backed down, but Su Qianxue, who was proud of herself, was self-righteous and did not intend to let her go. She immediately put on an aggrieved and pitiful look, and said to Emperor Jin'an: "Your Majesty, is my sister still angry with this concubine? The milk custard that was sent, why didn't my sister touch a bite?"

Su Qianxue's voice was not high, but she chose a moment when everyone was quiet, as if she whispered it inadvertently, but everyone else could hear it clearly.

Jun Bi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Su Qianxue, call her stupid, but she has some cleverness, but it's all used in less than brilliant calculations. I don't know why Emperor Jin'an thinks she is so frank and cute?
When Emperor Jin'an heard this, his already biased heart tilted towards Su Qianxue.Seeing that Jun Bi had not moved, he frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Queen, please don't let me down." He was not willing to blame Jun Bi, but in front of the ministers, it was disrespectful for Jun Bi to be so disrespectful. of royal dignity.

Jun Bi's eyes darkened slightly, "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines are useless." Although he had no hope for Emperor Jin'an in his heart, Jun Bi couldn't help but refute when he heard his words.Emperor Jin'an was afraid that he would never understand that the dignity of an emperor was never about looking for a sense of superiority from his concubines and courtiers.

Seeing that Jun Bi was still ignorant of good and bad, Emperor Jin'an was inevitably displeased, "Queen, you are the mother of a country, how can you not even have the capacity to accommodate people like this?"

Jing Mu, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help clenching the wine glass in his hand, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, it was just a matter of stepping down, why Jun Bi, who is usually smart, became confused at this time.

"I don't mean that. Your Majesty doesn't know, but I really can't eat it." Jun Biyin replied with restraint. She didn't want to break her face and let the ministers of the court see the joke.

"Can't eat it? What does this mean?" Emperor Jin'an asked suspiciously.

Jun Bi sighed and couldn't help but cursed: If you can't eat it, you can't eat it, you'll be allergic!However, she was still respectful on her face, "To others, milk custard is a nutritious delicacy, but to me, it is arsenic poison."

Jing Mu understood Jun Bi's meaning in an instant, and secretly rejoiced that she didn't eat by mistake.

Emperor Jin'an had no allergy experience, so he still didn't understand, and thought it was Jun Bi deliberately mocking the food prepared by Su Qianxue.He was completely irritated, and said in a cold and low voice: "If you don't eat today, this queen won't have to do it in the future."

Jun Bi was speechless for a while. She always thought that Su Qianxue was the only one who was stupid, but she didn't expect that Emperor Jin'an was even better now. Of course she would not swallow her anger, "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"Your Majesty." Suddenly another voice came in, directly interrupting Jun Bi's words. Jing Mu raised his wine glass and bowed to Emperor Jin'an, "Today's delicious food is all thanks to the reward from the Emperor. I dare to invite you. My lords, please come together to pay tribute to the brave Emperor." After saying that, Jingmu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

It was only at this moment that Jun Bi clearly understood Jing Mu's prestige in the court. All the ministers were swept by his gaze, and immediately stood up, adding to the fun.

After such an episode, Emperor Jin'an didn't mention the milk custard anymore.

Jing Mu filled another glass of wine, and walked slowly to Emperor Jin'an's desk.He glanced at Jun Bi, then secretly looked back, "Chen..." As soon as he said the words, he seemed to be tripped by something, staggered a few steps, and spilled all the wine in his hand, just right on Su Qianxue's face face.The makeup of the makeup melted away, and the mottled face looked a little funny.

Jing Mu was a little embarrassed and embarrassed for a moment, but his performance was flawless.If Jun Bi had not been with him for a long time and knew him well enough, he would have thought that he had just accidentally missed it.

If it were an ordinary palace maid, she would have been dragged out long ago, but this person is Jing Mu, and without Emperor Jin'an's words, no one would dare to take action easily.A favorite minister, a favorite concubine, the scene instantly became cold.

"Imperial concubine, although I made an unintentional mistake, but I offended my empress, I deserve to die." Jing Mu apologized, but he just bent slightly, not kneeling down to beg for mercy.

Su Qianxue had to force a smile with a painted face. She knew that she could not offend Jing Mu now, so she had no choice but to swallow her breath and show her tolerance and generosity, "Jing Gong does not need to blame himself, I am not in the way. "

Emperor Jin'an only reprimanded Jing Mu a few words, and gave him an innocuous punishment, and this matter was lightly exposed.Sure enough, for Emperor Jin'an, no matter how much he loves Su Qianxue, he can't compare to the useful Jingmu.Su Qianxue can coax her after she goes back, but she will still take care of the courtiers first.
