Shattered Glass (Shang Li) - Chapter 7
Dinner is placed in a huge tent, and the long low table is connected into a long table. Everyone sits cross-legged on leather mattresses and eats. It is quite a bit of a rough flavor before entering the customs. Two rows of long cases are adjacent to each other, one table for men and women. Young people seem to particularly like this arrangement. The row back-to-back with the adjacent tables is almost filled with young men and women.
Mei Li was placed in the second position on the right hand side of the Empress Dowager. She sat down quietly, she just came to eat. Jingxian always wanted to sit in the position closest to the ancestors, and this time was no exception. She was sitting in the first position on her left hand, and she glanced at Mei Li from time to time, as if her position was high and she had an advantage.
Jingxian has always been unable to get along with Jingxian’s gang, because of Ziqing’s sister, Jingxian is especially targeted at her, and Meili is not surprised.
People are almost here, even the emperor and ancestors are seated, the seats next to Mei Li are still empty, and the **** and palace maid began to serve hot dishes, and Suying followed Jingxuan into the tent and was led by the little palace maid. Sitting on the right hand side closest to the Empress Dowager, Jing Xuan also sat down behind her. Mei Li Chuchu was a little cramped, she was too close to him, so close that he could touch her with his arm when he turned around and talked to the Empress Dowager and Suying.
Immediately, she smiled in relief. The ancestors asked Suying concerned about Suying’s injury, and asked Jingxuan about the results of the hunt. None of them paid attention to her, and no one had the intention to talk to her. She was mediocre.
Yonghe is a busy person now, always arranging out of the book, before taking a seat before the opening of the table, Kangxi asked him to sit next to Jingxuan, Meili slightly leaned for him to sit down, Yonghe smiled and thanked softly. When she turned around, Mei Li saw Zi Yu on the other side. If Yu was pregnant or not, he was alone. She smiled and Zi Yu nodded.
She keenly sensed the pity in Zi Yu’s eyes and turned back silently. Although she was used to it, it would still be uncomfortable to be looked at by someone so familiar.
“Miri, you have to make up lately, my face is not good.” Xiaozhuang had been talking to Suying and suddenly brought the topic to her. Meili felt that the people around her were looking at her more carefully because of the words of her ancestors. , She nodded respectfully, not wanting to talk too much.
Sang Zhu beside her always twisted her body happily and joked with Fu Chen Beizi behind her. Every time she bumped into her accidentally, Mei Li frowned slightly. It turned out that she would turn her brows and talk to the side regardless of whether she turned around during the dinner. People who have caused such troubles, no wonder the girl who used to sit next to her always stared at her with cross-brows.
When the food was ready, the emperor and the ancestors simply said a few words and opened the banquet. Because there were so many people, there was no one to serve. Meili looked at the bowl in front of her with some embarrassment. She injured her left arm and couldn’t. The table was so low when she ate the bowl, it made the bowl even more ugly when she leaned over. Fortunately, there was a plate of small cakes in front of her, she took one and ate slowly, it was delicious, and there were meat fillings.
“Why don’t you eat vegetables?” The low, nice voice was still so clear in the hum of everyone’s whispers, and the momentary illusion made her instinctively tremble, thinking that he was asking her.
“Oh!” Suying complained charmingly by her side, and she turned around and asked her what Jing Xuan whispered in her ear. Jing Xuan smiled, took her bowl tenderly, put some dishes on her table and handed it back to her.
Mei Li looked at the cake in her hand without squinting, Yu Guang still reluctantly saw their intimacy gestures with their heads down and whispering. Suddenly she was a little angry with herself, put down the cake and picked up the chopsticks, only to realize that the dishes in front of her were big fish and meat. She wanted to eat some vegetarian dishes, but she was so far away, no wonder… Suying would let Jingxuan help her to pick it up. . The chopsticks have been raised, and she casually clamped a piece of meat. Maybe it’s because she’s got a bigger meat, Jingxian and Yindi who are on the opposite side laughed and glanced at her with contemptuous and pitiful eyes.
Mei Li looked back at them coldly. She would no longer be as impulsive as before, but she didn’t want to pay attention to their repeated provocations, but it didn’t mean that she would let them continue to be more aggressive.
Jingxian and Yindi were stunned when she gave such a glance, they didn’t seem to expect that she would have the courage to fight back.
Mei Li just picked up the half-eaten pancake and prepared to pass it to her mouth. Fuchen behind her side didn’t know what she had said to make Sangzhu laugh, twisting and twisting her body, but she was knocked into the pancake when she was unprepared. Fell on the table. Without thinking, Miri picked up the cake on the table and took a bite. She found that the long case of the female family was silent. People who hadn’t noticed her behavior also paid attention to her inexplicably because of the strangeness of others.
She froze for a moment. Yes, the pampered woman at this table felt that the food that fell on the table was dirty, and it was no different from falling on the ground. If someone else did this, they might just sneer and look at it, but because she, Mei Li Ge Ge from the cold palace, picking dirty food to eat, it would be a gimmick.
Sure enough, someone will not let go of this opportunity.
“The people who have been in Lenggong are different.” Jingxian sneered and grinned at the glance at her just now, “I love food so much.”
Everyone at the table looked at the joke with various eyes and cold eyes, Xiao Zhuang’s face sank, but it was not easy to say anything at this time.
Mei Li pursed her mouth and ate half of the cake in her hands in all the mocking eyes. She smiled coldly, “Yeah, there was only a meal of meat in the Anning Hall three days ago. I just think it’s very fragrant. Unlike you, Tiantianshan delicacies and seafood. Eating everything is like eating soil, only spoiling food!”
Young Hyuk behind Miri heard a puff and laughed.
“You!” Jingxian was choked and stared at her, and she was even more embarrassed when she heard Yonghe’s laughter. She just wanted to continue to fight back harshly, but Xiaozhuang took a cold look. She was stunned by the cold eyes and opened her mouth. , Did not dare to continue.
“If you feel delicious, eat more! Your child is so thin that it hurts. Yu’an, give me a bowl of pheasant soup for Mei Li.”
Everyone continued to eat their own food somewhat boringly, and there were whispers and jokes on the table, not as embarrassing as they were just now.
Mei Li drank the soup and spoke to Xiaozhuang. Many people had already left during the banquet, and she quit the banquet without attracting attention.
A big fire was already lit outside the tent, and the raging flame made Mei Li tremble. She found a secluded corner and forced herself to stare at the fire. This barrier was going to pass sooner or later, and she should not continue to fear.
Qiuquan Qiuyuan’s children have never had a good meal, so they left the table early and jumped around the fire, excited.
Jing Xuan and Suying also came out of the tent. Mei Li stood in a dark corner and the fire was too bright. The two of them whispered and walked by and did not find her.
Mei Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave to return to her tent.
With sharp eyes, Qiuquan shouted: “Sister Meili!”
Jing Xuan and Suying, who had already walked past, both stopped and turned around. Mei Li sighed lightly, making herself seem to be walking to the bright spot more calmly. When I always want to meet, I have to think about each other. When I don’t want to meet… but I can’t avoid it.
Qiuquan and Qiuyuan ran over and still held her one by one, but they weren’t as excited as they were during the day, pretending to look at each other deeply without talking.
Jingxian also finished her meal, looked impatiently at Yindi who was pulling her arm, but chasing Yonghyuk’s Yindi all the way, why did she chase Yonghyuk and use her as a cover? !
“Sister Meili…” the older Qiuquan said hesitantly, “I heard that you have been in the cold palace for the past two years. Are you scary there?” Like all children born in wealth, they are always stunned by the legend. The scary place is very curious.
Jingxian listened, shook off Yindi’s hand in the middle of her arms, and walked over with a mocking expression, “Yes, Miri, tell the children, and let them have a fear, don’t grow up like you!”
Mei Li glanced at Jingxian and tried to suppress her anger.
Qiuyuan pouted and glared at her brother. She had warned him not to ask Sister Mei Li about this. Although she wanted to know, it was so sad to say.
“Sister Meili, give you delicious food!” Qiu Yuan let go of Meili’s hand, hurriedly opened her purse, and graciously took out a few candied fruit. She was still young and thought that good food would make people happy, and Miri smiled at her.
“Qiuyuan eat it by herself, my sister doesn’t like it.” She touched Qiuyuan’s chubby face. Only a child would have such sincere sympathy.
“Eat!” Jingxian sneered nonchalantly, “Didn’t you have not eaten for more than two years? Don’t you want it?”
Finally, Mei Li couldn’t help but stared at her. Just about to say something, Zi Yu, who walked from the tent, frowned and looked at her and shook her head.
She lowered her head forbearingly. She understood what Ziyu meant. If she and Jingxian had a conflict, no matter who was right or wrong, she would be the one who suffered. The emperor might blame her for not repenting. What’s wrong with her? In the past, even more vicious ridicule than this, she can also turn a deaf ear to it. How can she unconsciously care about Jingxian? Probably…Before, it became a habit to confront Jingxian with **** for tat.
Habits… Many habits, she thinks she has changed, are still there.
She smiled coldly, half mocking herself and half indifferent, “I always don’t want to eat it, so I don’t want to eat it anymore.”
