Yuan Qingling actually didn't really want to go out to eat this meal. She had a point. It could be said that her wound hurt or she had to eat sick meals due to physical reasons. But remembering what Grandma Xi said, she really wanted to observe it again.
Princess Ji, let’s see if she is a double-faced person or a multi-faced person.
When Yu Wenhao saw her arriving, his expression seemed worse than yesterday. He couldn't help but frowned, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"I've had it." Yuan Qing Ling responded. However, she took her own medicine, the ones prescribed by the imperial doctor. After taking a sip, she found an excuse to throw it away.
"It's better if you really drink it. I'll find you secretly pouring it out later. It'll be nice for you." Yu Wenhao lowered his voice and threatened.
Yuan Qingling shrank her neck, "I don't dare."
He was really threatening, and Yuan Qingling was really guilty, but to Chu Mingcui's ears, these words sounded like flirting.
After taking the seat, Yu Wenhao was on her left, Chu Mingcui was on her right next to King Qi, followed by Princess Ji, King Ji, and King Sun.
The servants came in to wait for the meal, but King Sun waved his hand, "Brothers are gathering together today, so there is no need to wait. Everyone, please go down."
It's so slow to let the slaves serve the dishes, and you can't guess your thoughts. It's better to eat whatever you want.
In modern times, Yuan Qingling is a highly educated person who knows table manners and will never be as arrogant as Sun Wang. She thinks that she can eat very elegantly.
However, when she saw Chu Mingcui and Princess Ji having dinner, she realized how rude she was.
Chu Mingcui's mouth was slightly open, revealing two shell teeth, and the chopsticks held about... She counted it, and it was five grains of rice. She put a small mouthful into her mouth, closed her lips and chewed a few times, and slowly followed it.
The movement of swallowing down the throat is very graceful, especially when the rice grains slide down the throat, the neck is slightly straightened, and the place moves, which is elegant and beautiful.
As for eating vegetables, she rarely eats meat. She only eats fried lotus root slices and small mushrooms. She picks up a lotus root slice and bites it gently... She estimated that it should be about one centimeter, and the bite movement was also very graceful.
, click your teeth, there is almost no sound, just chew and swallow with your lips closed.
The same goes for Princess Ji.
Yuan Qingling looked at the piece of Wanfu pork in his bowl with mixed emotions.
It was actually a piece of belly meat, full of fat, and she believed that she could not feel the elasticity and glutinousness of the meat by just biting one centimeter. She had to put the whole piece into her mouth, so that the oil would explode in her mouth, and the fragrance would linger on her teeth and cheeks.
This is the highest state of eating.
She didn't seriously study the eating habits of women in this era, which was really bad.
As the Romans do, she could only hand Yu Wenhao the Wanfu meat in the bowl with distress, "It's too fat for me to eat. I'll eat some vegetarian food."
Without thinking, Yu Wenhao picked it up and put it in his mouth. Then he picked a slightly thinner piece for her and said, "This piece is good."
Although there have been quarrels and quarrels during these days, they have become accustomed to each other's existence and have a certain tacit understanding, so this is just a normal behavior for the two of them.
But in Chu Mingcui's eyes, it looked like terrible news.
Even if she and King Qi looked like a loving couple on the outside, he would never eat the food she had eaten.
Didn't Brother Hao hate Yuan Qingling so much? When did they become so close?
No, no, he said he would help her.
Chu Mingcui was filled with grief and anger for a moment, her heart was pounding with blood, rushing straight to her forehead. Without thinking, she covered her chest and fell down.
King Qi held her in one hand and said in surprise: "Tui'er, Tweet'er, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Qingling put down her chopsticks, quickly walked over and commanded: "Hurry and carry her into the side room and let her lie down. Has she had any illness before? What medicine has she taken recently?"
This is purely a doctor's instinct.
King Qi hugged her and panicked, "She's not sick. She's fine. She didn't take any medicine. The medicine... yes, yes, she took the fertility tonic prescribed by the imperial doctor."
When Princess Ji heard this, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes and said, "Is it true that you are weak and cannot be replenished?"
King Qi groaned and said in astonishment: "Is it too weak to be replenished?"
He looked at Yuan Qingling and said, "Well, fifth sister-in-law, please come in and help."
Yu Wenhao grabbed Yuan Qingling's arm and said, "Let's send him to the private room first. There is an imperial doctor in the mansion. I will order the imperial doctor to come over."
"Okay!" King Qi hugged Chu Mingcui and walked out, with his mother-in-law leading the way.
Everyone sat down again, but lost their appetite, except King Sun.
Princess Ji smiled and said: "I didn't expect that they would be so anxious after being married for less than a year."
Sun Wang said while eating: "How can we not be anxious? Now our brothers have not given birth to a baby yet."
Princess Ji smiled coquettishly and said, "Then my second brother must work harder."
"I know how to do it. Brother, please work harder." King Sun took a moment to glance at King Ji, "Brother is anxious, right?"
King Ji just picked up the chopsticks. After hearing these words, he slowly put them down and said sternly: "If you have any opinions about me, just tell me. There is no need to carry a gun or a stick. I remember that I have never offended you."
"No," Sun Wang raised his head in astonishment, "I always talk like this. When did I carry a gun and a stick? Who wouldn't be anxious about giving birth to a son? I am anxious too. I just said casually, why is the elder brother so excited?"
King Ji snorted, pulled up Princess Ji and said, "If you don't agree with what you said, let's go!"
Princess Ji said to Yuan Qing apologetically: "Then we will leave first."
Yuan Qing Ling Fushen said, "Slow down."
The brothers' dinner party broke up unhappy, but Yuan Qingling was very happy, at least the meal was more enjoyable.
She sat down and said to King Sun: "They won't eat. Let's eat more and don't waste it. It's all fresh vegetables and meat."
"I am actually full, but there are so many dishes made with high-quality ingredients and carefully prepared by the royal chef. It would be a waste if you don't eat them. Please eat some more."
Yu Wenhao didn't eat, he just sat down and looked thoughtful.
Yuan Qingling only said that he was worried about Chu Mingcui and said: "There is nothing wrong with her."
Chu Mingcui was pretending to be dizzy. When she stood up to ask, she took a look and saw that Chu Mingcui's eyelashes were trembling, her breathing was smooth, and her face was red but not pale or blue, which showed that she was only temporarily angry.
But I don’t understand why she was so angry all of a sudden. Everyone was eating at the time, so what was she angry about?
Yu Wenhao glanced at her lightly and said, "You are smart."
It wasn't because of Chu Mingcui, he could tell at a glance that Chu Mingcui was faking it.
He felt strange. Why did the eldest brother become so angry when the second brother just said that? Also, Princess Ji's expression seemed to be unnatural for a moment.
The second brother has always spoken in a weird and eccentric manner, and it was more serious in the past. Why is he so angry today?
If it was because he hadn't given birth to a son yet, so many princes didn't have sons, it wasn't like he didn't have one alone.
However, speaking of it, he remembered that his eldest brother now only has one concubine. There used to be two concubines in the mansion. One of them died of a sudden illness and he never married again. Even the concubines and beauties in the mansion were scattered one by one.
He now has only two daughters, both nearly ten years old.
Princess Ji and the concubine never got pregnant, and he never took another concubine.
