Chapter 620 Eat Up
Chapter 620 Eat Up
Although Nier was a little reserved, she still obediently took a few steps forward.
Then he slowly raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother and the Princess, and quickly lowered his head again.
The princess couldn't help but be surprised to find that the crayfish cook was so beautiful.
Her skin is as white as snow, like mutton-fat jade; her facial features are exquisite and picturesque, especially her big eyes, which are like stars in the night sky, shining with bright light.
Moreover, judging from Nier's appearance, she seemed to be about the same age as herself, which made her even more curious about the cook.
"Did you come up with this crayfish recipe?"
The princess looked at Nier with interest.
Seeing this, Nier bowed respectfully and said loudly, "Your Highness, it was this humble lady who came up with this idea."
The princess smiled slightly and seemed quite satisfied with Nier's answer. She waved her hand gently, and the maid beside her understood what the princess meant.
"Give me a seat."
Nier felt a little nervous, as she had never thought that she would be sitting next to the princess in such an occasion.
The gazes of the noble ladies around her made her feel like a thorn in her back, making her feel uncomfortable all over. She felt like a monkey being treated like a star, and she was really sitting on pins and needles.
However, my master taught me since I was young that I should be graceful and composed in any occasion, and even if I am a little timid, I must not let others see it.
Moreover, this thing becomes familiar after a few times. With more experience, you will not be afraid of it anymore.
Nier straightened her back and sat up straight.
The princess didn't seem to notice Nier's embarrassment. She continued to ask with interest, "How do you usually eat this noodles?"
Nier calmed down and replied, "Your Highness, this noodle mixed with crayfish soup is delicious."
Hearing this, the princess raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a faint smile.
The maid next to her poured the soup into the noodles at the right time.
The princess picked up the chopsticks gracefully, picked up some noodles, put them into her mouth and chewed slowly.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, the princess' eyes lit up.
The hand-rolled noodles are just the right amount of chewy, and each noodle is evenly covered with the rich soup. The unique taste spreads in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Especially in this hot summer, the princess had a poor appetite, but this bowl of noodles whetted her appetite. After taking the first bite, she couldn't help but want to take a second bite.
Before she knew it, the princess had finished the whole bowl of noodles, not even a drop of soup was left.
The Queen Mother stared at her daughter in front of her, a hint of surprise showing on her face.
According to the servants who took care of the princess, the princess had not been able to eat properly for several days in a row. She would only move her chopsticks a few times before putting down her bowl and chopsticks at every meal.
However, the situation today is completely different.
The princess ate a bowl of noodles with relish, and her satisfied expression made people feel at ease.
The Queen Mother thought, "No matter what the food is, as long as my daughter can eat it, it's a good thing."
A happy smile gradually appeared on her face.
At the same time, Prince Li was sitting aside, concentrating on dealing with the crayfish in front of him.
He shelled a few crayfish and became proficient at it.
Peel the shell skillfully, put the tender shrimp meat into your mouth, chew it carefully, and savor the unique flavor.
This novel food is undoubtedly a special enjoyment for Prince Li.
He thought he could bring some friends to eat together later.
It is a wonderful thing for everyone to sit together, enjoy delicious food and chat happily.
Just as Prince Li raised his head, his eyes happened to fall on Ni'er.
She was sitting there, chatting and laughing with the princess, and the interaction between the two seemed particularly intimate.
Prince Li became a little curious about Ni'er.
I never thought that someone could have such a good idea and make such delicious food by themselves.
Even though I am well-informed, it was the first time I tasted such a unique delicacy.
So, I couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
At this moment, Nier suddenly felt a cold light flash before her eyes.
She was shocked. Is there any danger?
Before she could react, she saw a man rushing straight towards the princess.
The situation was urgent and Nier had no time to think about it.
With the help of her years of practice, she reacted quickly, reached out without hesitation, and pulled the princess to her side.
Almost at the same moment, a crisp "dang" sound was heard.
The dagger that was supposed to have stabbed the princess was now stuck straight into the seat where the princess had just sat, deeply embedded in the wood.
This sudden change completely frightened the princess. She opened her eyes wide, stared at the dagger with horror, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a commotion broke the original peace. Someone dared to assassinate in broad daylight!
Everyone was shocked and ran away screaming.
The Queen Mother, under the protection of the Nanny, hid aside in panic, her face as pale as paper, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Quick, catch the assassin!"
Prince Li was attending his sister's birthday party, so he did not carry any swords or other weapons with him.
Faced with the sudden assassin, he could only deal with it with his agility and quick reaction.
The assassin was seen rushing towards Prince Li with a dagger in his hand.
Prince Li dodged the fatal blow by quickly moving to the side.
However, the assassin did not give up. She chased him relentlessly, and the dagger in her hand drew cold streaks in the air, making people shudder.
While dodging, Prince Li seized the opportunity, kicked the dancer hard on the arm.
With a scream of "Ah", the dagger in the dancer's hand fell to the ground, and her arm was twisted and deformed by the kick.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
Then, the well-trained guards quickly surrounded the injured dancer like a gust of wind, trapping her tightly in the middle and making it impossible for her to escape.
Those noble ladies, who usually lived a life of luxury, were now running around screaming in panic like frightened birds, looking extremely miserable.
They had heard that they would be able to meet Prince Li today, so they all dressed up carefully.
However, at this moment, the pearl hairpins on their heads were already in disarray, and their clothes were no longer tidy.
Some people's skirts were even torn, revealing their underwear.
These noble ladies didn't care about their image at all. They covered their heads and scrambled to flee the scene.
The princess was eating just now and was suddenly frightened by the chaotic scene before her.
The food in her mouth was suddenly stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. She felt so suffocated that her face turned purple and she was in great pain.
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother and Prince Li hurried over here.
They could tell at a glance that the princess was in a bad condition, and they shouted in unison, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
