34. Beat the dog to see the owner
Concubine Han Bingxue was smart, so she naturally understood the hidden meaning behind the words. Her heart sank, but she calmly twirled the teacup.
Taking a sip, she smiled sweetly and said: "If I remember correctly, my sister is still a few months older. If my appearance is said to age easily, I really don't dare to take it seriously in front of my sister."
Concubine Han was able to keep her temper calm, and could not control her emotions when she was happy or angry.
But Concubine Xue had a pampered nature, and when she saw that she couldn't keep up her words, her expression changed drastically. Yulian stamped her feet and pointed at Concubine Han's nose angrily.
"You are saying that I am old and lusty!"
Concubine Han smiled and said nothing. She was in a low position on the moon. Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other, she couldn't help but mediate between them.
"The two sisters are both stunning beauties. One is as beautiful as a fish, and the other is a shy flower. Even if the years pass by, they will never leave any trace."
Xue Fei's eyes widened and she was unwilling to go down the steps.
"When the two of us are talking, it will be the turn of a bitch to interrupt!"
Tayue's smile remained unchanged and her tone was gentle: "Today, the princess specially invited the sisters to gather in the garden. Tayue is lucky enough to accompany her. This harmonious atmosphere is really rare."
Concubine Xue was annoyed that this concubine actually used Princess Shuohe to press her down, and she suddenly became furious.
Just when she was about to get angry, Biyu behind her tugged at Concubine Xue's sleeve without leaving any trace.
"Princess, beat the dog to see the owner, there is also the prince behind you."
At this point, Concubine Xue was startled, her beautiful eyes turned, and with her peripheral vision, she saw Ling Muchao smiling but not smiling, as if he was watching the fire from the other side.
Indeed, given the current situation, if the future Crown Princess loses face, she may be left with nothing to lose.
The corners of Ling Mulao's lips were slightly raised, and the clouds were calm and the breeze was light: "It's sunny and sunny today, so I couldn't help but get excited and made some cakes, and I invite you all to try them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qinghua behind him brought pastries, which were served on pink and green petal-shaped plates and placed in front of the table for four people.
"The princess is really virtuous and kind, and she has a pair of skillful hands. Look at this pastry, she is really comparable to the royal chef."
Concubine Han smiled softly and held up her long sleeve with one hand.
"You won't know until you eat it whether it's good or not. Concubine Han gave it such a high evaluation before it even entered my mouth. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it by then."
Ling Mulao smiled modestly and made another inviting gesture.
The three of them thanked each other, picked up a piece of cake with jade chopsticks, put it in their mouths and chewed it slowly.
"It tastes good, but I think it has a faint ginger aroma."
Concubine Xue frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Xue Fei is really amazing. I mixed the ginger ginseng you sent yesterday into the flour and then baked it."
Before Ling Mulao finished speaking, he saw Concubine Xue suddenly turned pale and vomited out.
When Biyu saw it, she immediately poured some tea and said, "The princess is choking. Rinse her mouth quickly."
Xue Fei raised her head and drank. After gargling for a while, she spat into the spittoon. She had long since lost her ladylike demeanor.
"Why are you eating in such a hurry? If you were having a banquet in the main hall, you would have already committed the crime of disrespect!"
Concubine Han looked stern, and Ding Xiang, who was doing some cleaning at the side, hurriedly cleaned up the residue that was accidentally splashed on her skirt.
Xue Fei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and stared, but did not refute.
Ling Mulao's eyes were sharp, and in a moment, he had already seen everyone's expressions.
"Come on, everyone, eat some more, I've been busy all morning."
Ling Mulao waved his hand, and Qinghua added another piece to each person's plate.
