Chapter 72
The dishes came one by one, all of which were appetizers such as pine nuts and corn, sliced ​​lotus root in vinegar, lotus leaf and fresh bamboo shoot soup, and the most meaty one was a crystal elbow.

After all the dishes were served, the Queen Mother put away the handkerchief and ordered Aunt Xin, Yingyu and all the serving maids to go down first.Everyone didn't dare to have any objection, they all filed out cautiously.

It was only the two of us left, so I was a little scared.I looked at her, not daring to use the dishes.She looked at me with a smile and said, "Nian Nian, use it."

I frowned and said "yes", I licked a bowl of soup for the queen mother first, and then I licked it myself.Purple jade spoons and bowls of the same color are placed on the table, and the fresh lotus leaves and bamboo shoots floating on the emerald green soup are beautiful.

I scooped it in small mouthfuls, not daring to make a sound.I wondered if the queen mother had any intentions, and I couldn't even try the taste of the soup.

The meal was over, and the queen mother did not speak. "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep", this is the rule in Xue's residence, let alone the palace.

I saw the Queen Mother put down the chopsticks, I didn't have any appetite, so I also put down the chopsticks.

I served tea to the queen mother to rinse my mouth, and then I rinsed my mouth.The Queen Mother didn't seem to have the intention to call the maids in, so I had no choice but to help her sit down on a chair at the coffee table next to her and make tea for her.

I knew she must have something to say to me.

"Nian Nian." While pouring hot water, I heard her call out, a palm was unsteady, and a few drops of boiling water spilled on my hand. Enduring the pain, I put down the teapot and wiped it off quietly, Fushen said: " Back to the Queen Mother—”

She motioned for me to sit down, took my hand, and said, "Tell me the truth, old woman, have you promised Lao Ba?"

"No!" I stood up anxiously and blurted out, about to kneel down.She quickly helped me up and pulled me to sit next to her. She looked at me kindly and said, "Really?"

I saw an unquestionable look in her eyes, and I thought that if I told a lie, I would be doomed.I just nodded affirmatively and said, "No."

She let go of my hand suddenly, as if she was thinking hard about something.

"I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for me. The reputation of my daughter's family has always been the most important thing. I..."

"You can marry Lao Ba." The queen mother interrupted me and said firmly: "If you marry him, no one will damage your reputation.
