The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 640: Marriage Grant (3)
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Xiao Xiao reached out and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Except for the small episode at the beginning of the banquet that made the people below fluctuate a little, nothing special happened until the banquet was halfway through, and everyone's hearts slowly fell back. In the mood of drinking and enjoying the singing and dancing performances, the hall is full of harmony and music, singing and dancing are the capital of peace.

The Xiao family also slowly relaxed, and Mrs. Xiao also started to talk to the lady next to her from time to time, and sometimes she didn't know what was funny, and she would laugh lightly.

Mu Jinxi concentrated on tasting the food. This was the first time she entered the palace. The food in the palace was naturally much better than outside the palace. Whether it was staple food, tea, snacks, or fine wine, they were all high-end items.

I ate something before I left the mansion. Until now, I was so hungry that I only had some pastries in the imperial garden, and I couldn't eat too much. Now I can eat a lot, so I have to seize the opportunity.

Occasionally, Mrs. Xiao looked at her twice, seeing that she had been burying her head in hard food, she couldn't help being a little funny, why did this child seem to have been hungry for many days, fortunately everyone's attention is not here now, otherwise she must be laughing at her .

I thought so, but Mrs. Xiao still picked up some delicious food for Mu Jinxi, "This taste is not bad, you can try it. You can eat the rest as much as you want, but you can't touch the wine, you know?"

In Mrs. Xiao's opinion, Mu Jinxi is still a child, so she can't drink anymore.

Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "Auntie, I understand." But when Mrs. Xiao was not paying attention, she still took a few sips secretly.

There was nothing remarkable happening at the banquet, and there was no such thing as a legendary show for a noble lady. They were all pre-arranged kabuki performances, and everyone was responsible for enjoying them.At first, Mu Jinxi also concentrated on watching with great interest, but after a few performances, she got tired of watching, and then concentrated on eating.

Don't think that no one pays attention to her. In fact, there are quite a few people who pay attention to her. Who made her participate in the palace banquet for the first time and got the emperor's special attention and reward. You must know that they have lived in the capital for so many years. I have attended many palace banquets, but I have never seen the emperor treat anyone so well!

Seeing that Mu Jinxi knows how to eat like a pig now, many people can't help but secretly despise her, thinking that she must have lived in some very remote and impoverished countryside before coming to the capital, and she must be nothing. A young lady from a rich family, that's why she came to the palace and acted as if she hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. Who is like her, who came to the palace and just cared about eating!
I don't know why the emperor looks at her differently. She doesn't look ugly, but she can't be said to be beautiful, and she doesn't show any great talents. At most, she is called the niece of Prime Minister Xiao. What's the big deal? of.

She's just a niece, not her own daughter!
Mu Jinxi turned a blind eye to the disdainful gazes cast on her, and only thought about whether she could leave the palace and return home after she was full.This palace banquet is really boring. In her previous life, she could take the opportunity to discuss a few business deals when she attended the banquet. doze off.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly ask: "Isn't the little prince Juelin coming to the palace banquet today?"

Little prince Juelin?
After the hall fell silent, Mu Jinxi also raised her head, only to realize that the kabuki performance had retreated.
