As a result, the beauty who knew this no matter how unfair she felt, also knew that this was not the time for her to show off, and she did not want to die.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were the first two people to use their chopsticks. Su Jinluo, an outsider, also used his chopsticks. Of course, the other concubines of the little emperor had no reason to sit there and watch everyone eat.
Therefore, Su Mingfeng and others also picked up their chopsticks and tasted the dishes.
However, when everyone takes a bite of the food, there is always a strange taste.
Zhao Yuyan took a sip of water, cleaned her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said with a smile:
"Did the chef in the imperial dining room change or come up with some new dishes? The taste of this dish seems to be a little different from usual."
Although everyone who has eaten food has this feeling, few people dare to have the courage of Zhao Yuyan to ask directly in front of the little emperor.
The little emperor put down his chopsticks and smiled:
"Concubine Jade is indeed very powerful. Recently, the imperial chefs are studying herbal medicines, saying they are more beneficial to the body."
The little emperor directly said that the dishes they ate today were cooked directly with certain medicinal materials, so the taste was slightly different from the previous ones.
However, in order to prevent the smell of medicine from affecting their appetite for food, Yu Chu has lightened the smell of medicine so that it will not make people feel particularly unpalatable.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Although the taste of those dishes has changed slightly, many of them taste better than usual when they enter your mouth.
Thinking that eating more of these medicinal foods would be good for their health, many concubines no longer wanted to maintain their beautiful image in the heart of the little emperor, so they used chopsticks a little faster than usual.
"Madam, I'm afraid this glass of water is already salty. Please change it to another glass."
Because of the little emperor's words, the other people's faces were quite happy, but Lian Lian and Lian'er remained the same.
He knelt down repeatedly, picked up the glass of water in front of Su Jinluo that was already glistening with oil, poured it down, and made another glass for Su Jinluo.
It was only at this time that Lian Lian truly understood the real reason why his third wife wanted a glass of water to wash the dishes with.
Although medicated food is good for the body, it is not something that can be eaten casually, especially with the current situation of the third wife in their family.
Who knows what medicinal materials the emperor and the empress dowager ordered to be added to these medicinal diets.
Lian Lian and Lian Er were quite diligent in changing the boiled water for Su Jinluo, while Su Jinluo maintained a leisurely pace and tasted a few bites of the food.
After a while, Su Jinluo put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth to show that he was full.
As for the desserts that the palace servants later served, Su Jinluo didn't even take a glance at them. He just drank a few sips of tea to suppress the strange taste in his mouth.
While Su Jinluo was eating, the empress dowager and the little emperor were always quietly looking at Su Jinluo from the corner of their eyes, wanting to see Su Jinluo's reaction.
But from the beginning to the end, Su Jinluo behaved extremely normally, and they watched with their own eyes as Su Jinluo ate the dishes one bite at a time.
The little emperor frowned and then looked at the empress dowager:
Queen Mother, have the medicines in the dishes completely lost their effect because of Su Jinluo's actions just now?
The Empress Dowager raised her lips and smiled, then shook her head invisibly to the little emperor.
