Within the Bright Moon Kingdom, if you do not have a decree, no one is allowed to eat with the Emperor. Therefore, the major event of Ming Yuexuan inviting ”Xie Silee” for lunch was to leave as well.
When the concubines of the Bright Moon Kingdom palace received the news, they all wished they could tear Lin Zhaojun apart. How could they not be jealous?
However, it was impossible for Lin Zhaojun to know all these, even if she knew, she wouldn't mind. It was enough for her to have the Pretty Zombie, she had no interest in snatching Ming Yuexuan from the group of girls!
However, she didn't care and couldn't stop the hatred from others.
For example, when the Imperial Concubine Shu s in Shufang Palace heard the cold and distant voice of their palace maid, Ming Yuexuan, who was not willing to step into the harem, actually specially invited the ”Xie Silee” she wanted to come over for a meal, they smashed the teapots and cups at their sides to pieces.
”Bitch …” Imperial Concubine Shu scolded angrily.
In the eyes of the Imperial Concubine Shu, the only reason Ming Yuexuan had dinner with him was because he was bewitched by Lin Zhaojun.
After a burst of angry curses, Imperial Concubine Shu calmed down and asked the palace maid who sent the message: ”Where are they eating?”
”We're at the side hall of the Guying Palace!”
”Humph!” Do you think that she is worthy enough to stay in the Guying Palace to eat with His Majesty? ” Imperial Concubine Shu said sinisterly.
The palace maids did not dare to make a sound, lowering their heads, trying their best to lower the sense of their own existence.
”What do they eat?” Imperial Concubine Shu asked.
”I heard it's a hotpot …” The palace maid who passed on the message said in a trembling voice.
”Hot pot? What is that thing? ”
”Servant …” This servant doesn't know either! ”
With a ”pa” sound, Imperial Concubine Shu stepped forward and ruthlessly slapped the palace maid. The palace maid fell to the ground and covered her face. Although she felt wronged, she did not dare to make a sound.
Imperial Concubine Shu was so angry that her face twisted. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and her mouth formed a scheming smile.
”I haven't seen Imperial Beauty Hua in a long time, I really miss her!” Imperial Concubine Shu continued, ”Looks like I have to go and see her.”
All the palace maids were speechless.
Due to the rule of ”eating without saying anything, sleeping without speaking”, other than Ming Yuexuan and Lin Zhaojun initially toasting to each other, the two of them did not really talk much, but Lin Zhaojun was not too anxious, if she was too anxious, she might reveal herself.
After almost an incense worth of time had passed, Ming Yuexuan was more or less full. Satisfied, he put down his chopsticks and told Lin Zhaojun: ”Eat slowly, don't worry!”
After Lin Zhaojun ate a few small bites, she put down the tableware and said: ”I will also eat well!”
Lin Zhaojun said ”I ate well”, not ”I ate my fill”. This made Ming Yuexuan very satisfied.
Ming Yuexuan recalled that the ministers who had shared a meal with him were all trembling with fear. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice before he was done, eating until he was full was impossible, let alone something called ”eat well”!
This made him have no appetite to follow them.
He did not expect that Lin Zhaojun would eat in such a casual and relaxed manner, which made him feel at ease, as if she had not eaten for a long time.
Ming Yuexuan looked at Eunuch Hong, and Eunuch Hong sent a young eunuch behind him to call in the person waiting outside.
