C134 (1/2)

Chang Ge coughed to hold back his laughter, he had previously heard Gu Yinfeng boasting about how many girls he stole from the girls and he was still skeptical, but now that she saw Cao Ning Xiang's little daughter's delicate appearance, he could not help but believe it.

You must get what you want with your beauty.

She was speaking from the bottom of her heart. Cao Ningxiang had always been beautiful when she was younger. She could be the center of attention wherever she went, and she was also a famous talented woman in the capital.

Chang Ge, you, don't you want to become Crown Princess?

Chang Ge shook his head. ”I don't want to. Besides, I don't know this crown prince either.”

Do you really not want to … These words didn't sound like Cao Ning Xiang asking, but more like she was talking to herself.

The two chatted for a while longer. Some eunuchs came to tell them that a banquet had been set up in the empress's flower garden, inviting them to come over for a meal. Only then did the two of them go to the garden hand in hand.

Longsong rubbed his belly and laughed. ”I've never eaten any of the best food in the palace, so I'll have to eat more later.”

My aunt is Imperial Concubine Hong. Every time there is a banquet in the palace, she invites me to enter the palace. I think that she also wants me to marry into the imperial family.

Changge responded boringly. Actually, she was not the least bit interested in the matter of the noble dukedom. The only thing she was interested in was the palace cuisine she would be eating later.

Then recommend me which of the palace's dishes you think is delicious.

Cao Ningxiang rolled her eyes helplessly: ”Even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much. Just eat a few mouthfuls and you'll have the meaning to do so, otherwise you'll lose respect in front of the Empress' Goddess and all her concubines. What, your mother didn't teach you before you entered the palace?”

Uh, she did teach him that, but when it comes to eating, his mother understood that her daughter had a gluttonous stomach, so she only warned her repeatedly not to eat whatever she wanted, other than eating heartily.

He looked at his waist, then glanced at Cao Ningxiang. Seeing her slender hands gripping onto something, Chang Ge couldn't help but sigh that he had really become a country girl. It was fine to not mention such an obvious gap between them.

When he arrived at the flower garden, he saw two rows of long tables placed on the grassland in the center. At the end of the long table was a row of seats for the Empress and her concubines.

Changge looked at their figures with envy in her eyes, but that was all. If she really became like that, she might not necessarily feel comfortable.

The empress took her place and everyone else did as well, but there was still one empty seat. Since no one was present, they could only wait.

The little girls were all joking around. Cao Ning Xiang raised her voice with a serious expression: ”Little sister Chang Ge, I'll have to say what you said. You will never be able to eat delicious food in this palace kitchen. Don't bite your tongue later.”

The Queen seemed to hear Cao Ning Xiang's voice, and inadvertently looked over, seeing Gu Changge's scrunched up face, Cao Ning Xiang was full of energy, she could not help but laugh, and lamented how good it was to be young.

When Cao Ningxiang saw the empress smile at her, she wanted to show off even more. In the past, there had been countless banquets of various sizes in the palace. The scale of the banquets were different, and the wine and food were also different! Take this Flowery God Festival as an example, it has to be of a second-grade scale. The tea we're drinking is a spring tea and it's already starting. Although this dessert is commonly eaten by almond buddhist hands, tea fruit cut, pleasing to the eye, auspicious cake, and the taste is very different from the outside, don't you want to try it?

After her introduction, the other famous ladies sitting around also smiled as they sipped on their tea and snacks. They even praised her heartfelt words of praise, ”Ning Xiang, you really know a lot.”
