The Mid Autumn Festival family banquet is located in Country Pavilion.

Osmanthus trees are planted around the country Pavilion. It is golden autumn and the osmanthus trees are fragrant.

People can smell sweet scented osmanthus before they can go to Country Pavilion.

In order to meet the occasion, the Shaofu specially moved many chrysanthemums from elsewhere and put them in the country Pavilion. There are all kinds of chrysanthemums with a variety of colors.

Looking around, it almost became an ocean of chrysanthemums.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xixi couldn't help thinking of a song.

Chrysanthemums are broken and hurt everywhere.

……

The theme is still three big men, the emperor, the queen and the Empress Dowager.

The prince sat on the right, and his concubines sat behind him.

Four side concubines and two Liangdi, a total of six people, two people a table, just occupy three tables.

Below the prince are the Grand Prince and his family members, and then the second prince and the fourth Prince... And so on.

Sitting opposite them were the emperor's concubines and princesses.

No outsiders were invited to the family banquet. All the people present were royal people, but there were more than 60 people in total.

Princess Jing secretly vowed not to talk to Princess Xiao before. Unexpectedly, she was beaten in the face soon.

Because she was assigned to a table with concubine Xiao.

Princess Jing side had a gentle and generous smile on her face, and she just wanted to curse.

Who on earth arranged the location for them?

Why did you arrange her with Princess Xiao, a poisonous woman?!

Xiao Xi has no idea about this arrangement.

For her, the important thing is to eat. Everything else is a negligible thing.

At the table on their left are concubine Li and concubine Bai, and at the table on their right are Duan Liangdi and Qin Liangdi.

At this time, concubine Li's mood is similar to that of concubine Jing. The whole people in the East Palace know that concubine Li and concubine Bai don't deal with each other. Now they sit together and don't talk to each other. The atmosphere can be said to be very embarrassing.

Duan Liangdi and Qin Liangdi are a little better.

They can occasionally say two words.

But Duan Liangdi was always absent-minded. Her mind was full of the fried egg said by the crown prince.

Damn fried eggs!

Her carefully selected beautiful clothes and skirts turned into fried eggs in the eyes of the crown prince!

She can't blame the prince's eyesight. She can only blame the palace maids who helped her choose clothes for being too incompetent. Why did she choose such a dress for so many beautiful skirts?!

Everyone present had different thoughts.

The maids in waiting filled the room with delicious food and wine, and soon the tables were filled with delicious food.

According to the usual practice in previous years, the emperor first said a few opening remarks, and then everyone picked up their glasses and toasted the emperor.

After this performance, the family dinner tonight will be officially started.

Since it is the Mid Autumn Festival, there must be crab and osmanthus wine on the table.

The crabs in the palace are all big and fat. Just looking at them makes people move their fingers.

Eight crabs were placed on the table. Concubines from a noble family were familiar with this set. They picked up tools and began to shell crabs skillfully.

Only Xiao Xi ignored those tools.

She directly picked up a large crab, broke it off with her bare hands, and then ate all the crab roe in one breath.

The princess on the side of the scene was stunned.

Who eats crabs like this? It's not elegant!

After eating the crab roe, Xiao Xi began to bite the crab's pliers and legs. After biting the shell, she bared the crab meat inside and sucked it out.

The crab meat tastes delicious. Even without sauce, it is still delicious.

She noticed that Princess Jingbian had been staring at herself and asked curiously, "what do you think I do?"

Princess Jingbian said with difficulty, "why don't you peel the crab shell with tools before eating?"

Xiao Xixi answered confidently, "because it's too much trouble."

There are only a few crabs on the table. She must eat quickly.

Concubine Jing didn't agree with her. As a concubine, how could she be so rude?

But Princess Jingbian won't say these ideas, let alone remind the other party to be more restrained.

She can't wait for concubine Xiao to make a fool of herself outside.

Princess Jing put away the surprised look on her face and said with a smile, "well, it's the first time I've seen someone eat crabs like you."

As she spoke, she cut the crab legs with small scissors and dug out the crab meat with a small spoon.

The movement is skillful and elegant, and it looks pleasing to the eyes.

Princess Jing quickly peeled off a crab, but she didn't mean to eat crab meat. Instead, she wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief and said to the palace maids around her.

"Dongling, help me send this bowl of crab meat to the prince."

"Here."

Dongling picked up the white jade bowl with both hands and walked forward a few steps.

She knelt down beside the prince and whispered respectfully.

"Your Highness, this is the crab meat peeled by imperial concubine Jingbian for you. Please taste it."

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the other two side imperial concubines and two Liangdi. They all stopped and stared at the prince.

Imperial concubine Li secretly scolded in her heart. This imperial concubine Jing is really mean, just a little crab meat. It's also worth her to send it to please the prince?!

At the same time, concubine Li was a little annoyed. Why didn't she expect to send some food to the prince?!

Princess Jingbian seems to be tasting wine, but her eyes keep looking at the prince's back.

She wanted to know the prince's reaction after accepting the crab meat. Would he like her a little?

Luo QingHan looked at the crab meat sent to him and said faintly, "take it away."

Dongling didn't expect that the prince would react like this.

Her heart ached.

If the crab meat is returned, Princess Jingbian will lose face.

Imperial concubine Jingbian certainly didn't dare to do anything to the prince, but as a palace maid, she had to be punished.

Although concubine Jingbian always looks gentle and generous in front of outsiders, she is actually very strict with people in private.

Dongling whispered: "Your Highness, this is the intention of Princess Jingbian. Even if you don't want to eat, you can put it next to her and at least save some face for Princess Jingbian."

Luo QingHan didn't speak.

He is the prince. Why save face for a concubine?

The ink painting waiting nearby came over.

She said to Dong Ling in an indisputable tone.

"You should go."

Dongling had no choice but to go back to Princess Jingbian.

She put the white jade bowl with crab meat on the table and knelt down.

"Madam, it's a slave and maid who doesn't do a good job. Please punish them."

The two side imperial concubines and two Liangdi wanted to laugh when they saw this scene, but because the prince was sitting in front, they were afraid to leave a bad impression on the prince, so they had to hold it.

Look, look, the flattery is on the horse's leg! She deserves to be humiliated!

Princess Jing side pursed her lips and looked at the crab meat in the bowl. She couldn't say a word for a long time.

If she doesn't say anything, Dongling doesn't dare to move. She can only kneel all the time.
