The concubine teases the evil emperor: the proud wife of the bloodthirsty queen

Chapter 454 Fast Banquet [2]

In front of Shen Dong'ao, his mighty general's family is thin and worthless, and he is completely ashamed and humiliated.

Now that Huo Wu has suddenly shown her strength, and she is the future Xie Wangfei, her appearance at this table will naturally earn back some face for the Wei Mansion. Thinking of this, he is in a good mood and doesn't want to overdo it. Blame something.

After all, in front of outsiders, this face still needs to be held up to be useful.

He let out a long breath, and his words were gratifying, "Father will feel at ease when you grow up." After finishing speaking, he told the servants next to him to order the kitchen to add two more dishes.

Shen Dongao on the side saw her composure, a stern light flashed in his eyes, he turned his head slightly, and looked at He Qi, who shook his head inaudibly.

Their movements were very subtle, almost non-existent, but Huo Wu still noticed it.

Presumably they were communicating with God, communicating about her abnormality.

Just at this time, a servant from outside the house came over with a man in palace uniform, "General, there are people coming from the palace."

Wei Pingyang got up quickly, and the man saluted Wei Pyongyang, "General, this servant is here to invite the second lady to enter the palace at the order of the Empress Dowager."

Huo Wu got up after hearing the words, her face was full of doubts, "Is it the Queen Mother?"

While asking the question, Huo Wu could clearly feel Shen Dongao's probing gaze, so she intentionally showed a confused expression.

The palace man raised his face, then lowered his face, "Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year. The empress dowager set up a fast banquet and invited civil and military officials to the palace to have a dinner together. Miss also knows that there is no meat in this fast banquet. It's also light, and the queen mother was worried that the officials would not be happy with the meal, so she wanted to ask the second lady to give her advice, so that this meal can be eaten happily."

Wei Pingyang suddenly said, "This fasting banquet is only once a year, and the empress dowager personally hosts the banquet. Everyone eats it in their mouths. Even if it doesn't taste good, they are still very grateful. The empress dowager really has a heart."

The palace maid lowered her head and said in a melodious voice, "This year, the Empress Dowager saw that the second young lady is very smart, and said that she has a lot of ghost ideas, so she asked the second young lady to suggest an idea to make everyone eat more satisfactorily."

"Since that's the case, then you go, remember not to disappoint the Queen Mother's expectations." Wei Pyongyang said.

After Huo Wu nodded respectfully towards Wei Pyongyang, with Qing Zhu's support, she left the General's Mansion together with the palace staff.

After she left, Shen Dong'ao said immediately, "General, you said this fasting banquet is once a year?"

Wei Pyongyang didn't think too much, and answered Shen Dongao's question intuitively, "Yes, the empress dowager is a very Buddhist believer. She fasts once a year to pray for the health of all officials and to serve the court faithfully. It's nothing new. thing."

"So that's the case." Once a year, it's not a strange thing, Shen Dong'ao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and continued to eat.

On the other hand, Huo Wu and Qing Zhu went directly to the queen mother's palace, and the emperor was among them.

Seeing Huo Wu coming, he hurried to meet him, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be too polite, how is the matter going?" What he asked was naturally about the antidote for the black worm.

The dark pupils swept across the guard Song beside the emperor, and the corners of Huo Wu's mouth slightly raised, "I brought them all."

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief, turned to Song Huwei and said, "This matter is of great importance, and it is up to you to cooperate with Feng girl's actions without any mistakes."
