Chapter 585 The Emperor and Empress Protect Food
There was a sound of almost inaudible footsteps, which sounded a little more hurried than usual.
Behind Nanny Feng were several palace maids, who walked into the hall one after another, carrying trays in their hands.
Madam Feng personally placed plates of cooked, plump, steaming dumplings in the middle of the table;
Yu Feng, who was standing by, took out a silver needle for testing poison and walked over.
This is also a step that the emperor and empress must take before dining.
Xiao Jingyu watched Yu Feng's actions and did not speak to stop him.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Leng Rongyue, but he didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Leng Rongyue.
I believe Xiaoyueer, but the raw dumplings are cooked by others and then served, so this step still needs to be confirmed by poison testing.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, Xiaoyue would not be able to escape responsibility.
Instead of doing this, it is better to check it openly just in case.
At this time, Emperor Hongde reached out and pulled Empress Luan Xiying to stand up. He first waved to the palace servants who were serving in the hall, "Okay, no need to serve here, everyone leave!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, the palace maids bowed deeply to the emperor, empress and Xiao Jingyu, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left.
Seeing that all the palace servants had left, Queen Luan Xiying no longer wanted to keep up her airs as queen. She simply shook off Emperor Hong De's hand, walked a few steps to the table and sat down.
Without caring about Emperor Hongde and his son, Empress Luan Xiying picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks, rolled it in the dipping sauce bowl in front of her, and took a bite...
Although it's still a little hot, the taste... is really amazing!
When you take a bite, the aroma of the dumpling filling fills the air and the juice overflows.
When eating dumplings, there is both noodles and meat, which is a very unique taste.
The taste is indescribably wonderful.
Emperor Hongde looked helplessly at his hand that had been shaken off, then looked at the queen who had quickly walked to the table, sat down and had already finished a dumpling. He shook his head helplessly and chuckled.
"Is Ah Ying really that anxious?
Dumplings won’t run away!”
"What does the Emperor know?
Didn’t you hear what Yuer said just now?
It was Yue Er who said that it tastes better when eaten hot. If it gets cold, the texture and taste will be bad!"
Queen Luan Xiying took a break from her busy schedule to respond to Emperor Hong De, then picked up the second dumpling and continued eating.
After swallowing the dumplings in her mouth, Queen Luan Xiying announced directly:
Tonight, I will only eat dumplings!
As he said this, he picked up a third one.
Emperor Hong De no longer stood there and watched, but walked a few steps to the table and sat down next to Empress Luan Xiying.
Emperor Hongde picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dumplings, put them into the dipping sauce bowl, dipped them like the empress, and put them into his mouth.
A fresh and fragrant taste blooms in the mouth...
Emperor Hong De was delighted by the delicious taste in his mouth and felt it was extremely novel.
"Yuer... this... this stuffing contains shrimp meat?"
Xiao Jingyu walked to the table calmly and sat down, nodding, "Yes, there are shrimps.
One of these dumplings has a three-fresh filling, and the "first fresh" is shrimp meat. "
“Shrimp!
Ouch!
Nowadays, there are few fresh seafoods in the palace, and the ones that are available are dried ones;
The Anguo Mansion still has this rare item, I wonder where it got it from!"
Emperor Hong De said as he ate.
In fact, what Emperor Hong De said was just an unintentional remark.
Before Xiao Jingyu could speak, Empress Luan Xiying glared at Emperor Hong De and said, "Your Majesty, please eat what you can!
What do you care where the shrimp meat comes from?
What an event!
I tell you, if you really want to know where everything comes from...
I’m afraid that Your Majesty… won’t be able to eat anything in the future!”
When the queen got angry, she didn't even bother to say "Your Majesty" or "This palace"!
Anyway, there are no outsiders in the hall.
Emperor Hong De listened and thought about it, and realized that it was indeed the case.
Emperor Hongde looked at his son and then at his queen, "I...I just said it casually.
There are always fresh foods in the Duke's Mansion, and Yue'er always has surprises for us, which is great!
Anyway, our son goes to the Duke's Mansion for free meals every day, and he can bring some back for us. Of course, I hope that the Duke's Mansion has as many fresh things as possible!"
After saying that, he turned to look at his son Xiao Jingyu who had been staring at him, and said with a smile: "No more questions, no more questions, father will never ask again!
If you have something delicious, just bring it back to my father and mother. They will not ask where it comes from!"
As Hong Dedi spoke, he picked up another dumpling from another plate and put it into his mouth. His eyes lit up again...
“It smells good…it smells different!
Well, this tastes different. The meat filling inside is rolled into a ball and is very chewy when eaten.
What kind of meat is this?"
Xiao Jingyu looked at the appearance of the dumplings, pointed at the plates of dumplings and said, "The ones with lace-like edges should be filled with beef.
Oh, I brought back three kinds of fillings today. The first dumpling that Father ate was the one with three fresh fillings.
This one with lace is stuffed with beef and green onions;
And this one, it looks a bit like a triangle, with a big belly, and it’s filled with pork and green onions.
Father and mother can both try it, each has its own flavor."
"Okay, let's all try it, Ying should try it too."
Emperor Hong De said as he picked up a pork and green onion filling that was farthest from him and put it in Empress Luan Xiying's bowl first, then he picked up another one and took a bite...
After tasting it, he nodded repeatedly, "Mm, delicious! They are all delicious!"
Xiao Jingyu looked at his father and mother who no longer spoke and just focused on eating dumplings one after another. He couldn't help but smile. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating the dumplings.
He had just eaten one dumpling and was about to pick up the second one when he discovered... his father and mother were staring at him, with obvious protective looks in their eyes.
