Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

The ladies all exploded.

Everyone was whispering, saying they didn't dare to eat.

However, Shen Ningning tasted it with a calm expression.

It's salt and pepper flavored.

However, she did not do as well as Mrs. Liu in their village.

The fried locusts made by Sister-in-law Liu are often fried to golden brown and crispy. Sprinkled with salt and pepper and a little bit of chili powder, they are extremely fragrant.

What I did in the palace can only be described as average.

Shen Ningning curled her lips while eating: "It tastes ordinary."

The ladies around her took a breath and widened their eyes when they saw her being so brave and bold.

Among the ladies at the table with Shen Ningning, Liang Yici was the first to use chopsticks.

She had a sullen face, and looked very much like Fang Qingdai when she was serious.

I saw Liang Yici eating three in succession. After chewing for a while, he nodded slightly.

"The taste is not bad. When I lived with my mother in the frontier, I also ate fried grasshoppers."

When the ladies heard her words, they gasped again.

Seeing that Liang Yici was already moving his chopsticks, Ye Changyi no longer hesitated, tasted a few, and nodded sincerely.

“It tastes better than I expected.”

Qi Xiuwei looks the most timid and weak. She has only recovered from a serious illness for two years. Her complexion is still pale, and the blood on her lips is rouge.

She was looking at the plate of fried locusts in front of her, her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitant.

Shen Ningning understood her personality and took the initiative to say: "Xiaowei, if you can't get used to it, don't force yourself."

Qi Xiuwei shook her head and looked up at Shen Ningning, a gentle and shy smile blooming on her lips.

"I've eaten it at home. The chef mashes it, mixes it with pepper, and mixes it with shredded lotus root. The taste is really fragrant."

The rest of the ladies:...

They really admired the people at Shen Ningning's table!

No wonder they can sit together.

However, Shen Ningning and the others were not afraid. Instead, the people at Mo Zhirou's table next door covered their mouths and noses and frowned in disgust.

"I can't eat it. It's not that it tastes bad, but it feels cruel." Mo Zhirou sighed.

Concubine Qi felt interesting: "Why is it cruel?"

Mo Zhirou stood up, her figure as frail as a willow tree: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the taste of locusts, I heard that they are thrown into the oil pan and fried whole while they are still alive, and then they die alive. moment."

"When I think that they are also alive, I can't get into this mouth... I would rather go hungry than eat locusts."

Ye Changyi's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

"Miss Mo, according to you, the crops eaten by the locusts deserve it. Even the farmers who grow the crops are not worthy of pity?"

Liang Yici crossed her arms, frowned, and said more bluntly: "It's so pretentious."

Qi Xiuwei was timid and did not dare to agree directly, but she nodded silently: "Yes!"

Instead, Shen Ningning chuckled.

The four of them sang in harmony, and Mo Zhirou clenched her fingertips under her sleeves in anger.

"That's not what I meant, Miss Ye, don't get me wrong..." Mo Zhirou sighed, as if she had been wronged.

When the lady beside her saw this, she stood up and spoke for Mo Zhirou.

"Sister Zhirou is right. Aren't all locusts killed alive? The crops are lifeless."

Ye Changyi slapped the table and stood up: "If you have the ability, don't eat food in the future!"

Seeing that the two sides were tense, indicating that the most distinguished circle of ladies in the capital was about to quarrel, Concubine Qi just watched coldly, with a playful smile on her lips, but did not stop it.

Shen Ningning was about to speak when she saw a black shadow passing by in the sky, and then, a dark thing fell directly on Mo Zhirou's head.

"Ah!" The lady who had just spoken to Mo Zhirou saw clearly what the thing was, screamed, and fell back with a pale face.

"What's wrong? What's on my head?" Mo Zhirou reached out to touch it.

The beautiful ladies' faces turned pale: "It's a locust! It fell on your head!"

Mo Zhirou froze, and then shouted: "Get it down for me, someone, come on, get it down!"

The servants serving her hurriedly came forward to help her take down the locusts. After finding that they were already dead, they threw them on the ground.

Mo Zhirou subconsciously raised her foot and stepped on it hard: "It's so disgusting! Why did it fall on me? I'm so stupid!"

Seeing that she trampled on it repeatedly and removed her shoes, the locusts had turned into a shriveled yellow puddle.

A lady retched.

Shen Ningning blinked: "Didn't Miss Mo say that she was reluctant to eat fried locusts, but she was willing to step on them with her feet? Isn't that a kind of kindness?"

Mo Zhirou came back to her senses and her expression changed.

She raised her head stiffly and found that everyone was looking at her with frightened and stunned eyes.

Mo Zhirou immediately hated Shen Ningning.

When I'm with her, I always embarrass myself!

Concubine Qi smoothed things over and smiled lightly: "Okay, it's just an accident. You should sit down too."

Mo Zhirou lowered her head dejectedly and sat down again.

Shen Ningning looked at the fierce wings of an eagle parked on the eaves not far away and couldn't help but smile secretly.

It was not in vain that Mengyi ate hundreds of her chickens! Finally matured, and at the critical moment, she even knew that locusts were coming to bully Mo Zhirou.

Next, Shen Ningning's eyes flashed darkly, and it was time to get to her main topic.

After all, she didn't come here specifically to celebrate Concubine Qi's life.

While everyone was talking to each other, Shen Ningning took the initiative to walk towards Mo Zhirou.

Ask in a voice that everyone can hear: "How did you deal with the jade plaque last time? I really like that piece of jade. If the King of Shu has no other arrangements, I want to buy it. What do you think?"

Mo Zhirou had just suffered a loss from Shen Ningning and was worried about how to fight back.

Hearing this, she immediately raised her head and said in a cold tone, with a smile on her face but not a smile on her face: "What a coincidence, princess. Of course I won't get the jade token back. It doesn't matter how much money you pay."

As he said this, Mo Zhirou's eyes flashed with disdain.

She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear: "The jade token was given to my mother by my father. Does the princess think that my father is willing to sell the jade pendant to you again?"

Everyone looked in their direction.

Concubine Qi was far away and did not hear their argument clearly. She only frowned suspiciously.

I have a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second Shen Ningning stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Concubine Qi.

The little girl looked confused and blinked her round black eyes.

"What? You said that the King of Shu gave it to the Princess of Shu? How come the jade plaque hanging around Concubine Qi's neck is exactly the same as the one you bought?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Concubine Qi. Sure enough, the jade plaque hanging around her neck looked even more dark green and translucent against the embroidered skirt!

The look in Concubine Qi's eyes suddenly changed, and before she could even take it off, everyone saw it.

Mo Zhirou questioned Shen Ningning's words.

"Princess Funing, please don't talk nonsense. My father told me clearly that this jade tablet was to be given to my mother. How could it be at Concubine Qi's place!"

However, Mo Zhirou took a few steps closer and took a closer look.

It was actually the jade plaque she helped to buy!

Mo Zhirou felt something was wrong through Concubine Qi's cold expression!

How did the jade tablet end up in Concubine Qi's hands?

Everyone looked at Concubine Qi silently, waiting for her answer.

At this moment, a palace official not far away announced: "The Princess of Shu has arrived!"

Shen Ningning narrowed her eyes and smiled.

The distinguished guest she invited is here! (End of chapter)
