Jiujiu only took one bite and did not touch the osmanthus cake again. A woman sitting below Jiujiu suddenly spoke, "But this cake is not to Miss' taste."
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at the woman who spoke.
Lu Liu took the initiative to explain, "This is Miss Su from the Prime Minister's residence."
Speaking of Miss Su from the Prime Minister's residence, although she had not yet reached marriageable age, her reputation was widespread. She was the cinnabar mole in the hearts of countless men in Shengjing.
In the circle of young masters, there was even a saying, "Marry a wife as if she were Su Mi."
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that this Miss Su was the princess that the Imperial Noble Concubine did not hesitate to kill Erya to marry.
Although Su Mi was still young, one could already see how beautiful she would be in the future. Of course, more importantly, she was the legitimate daughter of the current Prime Minister.
The combination of beauty and power, who would not like it?
Although Su Mi was extremely beautiful, but compared to Erya, Erya was a cut above.
Jiujiu chuckled, "So you are Miss Su. It's an honor to meet you."
Everyone present knew Jiujiu's identity. When she heard the words "I've heard so much about you" from Jiujiu's mouth, Su Mi was startled at first, then she asked, "Miss, you know me?"
Jiujiu tilted her head and smiled, "Of course I know. I also know about your future. Do you want to know?"
Chu Hai knew everything from astronomy to geography. He knew about the events of the past five hundred years. Jiujiu was Chu Hai's disciple, so it was normal for her to know about Su Mi's future.
If it was an ordinary person, hearing Jiujiu say whether she wanted to know about her future, even if she was reserved, she would still be curious.
But Su Mi.
Her father, the Prime Minister, was an out-and-out anti- Chu Hai person.
He deeply hated the fact that the Emperor trusted Chu Hai. In his view, Chu Hai was just a charlatan fishing for fame.
Under the influence of the Prime Minister, his daughter Su Mi also had a disdainful attitude towards Chu Hai.
As for Jiujiu, Chu Hai's disciple, she naturally disdained her.
Therefore, Su Mi only smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss. However, the future is something that we have to walk through. If we can really predict it, wouldn't it be very boring?"
Su Mi's clear-headed appearance caused many young masters to cheer.
As soon as they arrived, they heard Su Mi's words. Because Chu Hai asserted that the Eighth Prince had the fate of a true dragon, the Fourth Prince, who could not become the Crown Prince no matter how hard he tried, took the lead to applaud and cheered, "Well said."
Hearing the Fourth Prince's voice, Su Mi's cheeks reddened. She stood up and curtsied to the Fourth Prince, "Greetings to the Fourth Prince."
The others stood up and saluted the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince hurriedly said, "You are all my friends. There's no need to be so courteous. Please rise."
In the midst of everyone's kowtows, only Jiujiu sat quietly in her seat.
The Fourth Prince walked straight to the seat of honor. When he saw Jiujiu sitting in the seat that originally belonged to him, his expression did not change. He smiled and said, "Miss has arrived."
Jiujiu nodded slightly and said without any trace of politeness, "I'm hungry."
She came here to eat crabs, not to let this group of people flatter each other. If there were crabs, she would hurry up and serve them. If there were no crabs, she would leave.
Seeing that Jiujiu was a little impatient, the Fourth Prince hurriedly ordered people to serve the crabs. He pointed at the crabs and said to Jiujiu, "These are live crabs that were just sent from Zhen Yang. Because I didn't know which way Miss liked to eat them, I ordered the chef to make each method."
There were eight major cuisines and many branches. Every method was made, so there were about twenty to thirty dishes. Each dish had a crab, so there were twenty to thirty crabs, filling the entire table.
The Fourth Prince's intention to curry favor was obvious.
In response to the Fourth Prince's eagerness, Jiujiu nodded and motioned for Lu Liu to help her peel the crabs.
Her hands were slender and fair, and when she came out, she had specially applied the fragrance cream that Chu Hai had specially made for her. She did not want to peel the crabs and stain them with the scent.
Lu Liu, who had long been used to Jiujiu's pampering, immediately took over Chu Hai's job. She quickly and delicately peeled the crab meat and placed it in a small bowl for Jiujiu to eat.
Jiujiu held her chopsticks and swallowed the crab meat that was peeled off from the green willow.
Lu Liu peeled the meat very quickly, and Jiujiu ate very quickly as well.
In just a short while, Jiujiu had swallowed all the crabs on the table.
Even if she was used to seeing strange people, but, Jiujiu, such a thin and weak little girl, eating twenty to thirty crabs in one breath was really amazing.
Moreover, she had clearly seen Jiujiu eat more than twenty crabs with her own eyes, but her lower abdomen did not have the slightest change. She did not know where those crabs had gone.
When the Fourth Prince appeared, Su Mi's line of sight followed him.
But.
In the past, when he saw her, he would chase after her and ask about her well-being. But today, when he came, he circled around Jiujiu and did not even look at her for such a long time.
In the past, the person who was held in the palm of the Fourth Prince's hand was her. Now that it was someone else, Su Mi could not bear it.
Su Mi originally looked down on Jiujiu's job as a fraud. Now that Jiujiu had snatched away the Eighth Prince from her, she naturally looked down on Jiujiu even more.
This was called the Crab Feast, but in fact, the only person who really wanted to eat crabs was Jiujiu.
As Jiujiu started eating, the crabs were all served. Most people just ate a few mouthfuls.
Firstly, people who liked crabs would like them very much. Those who did not like them would only feel that the fishy smell was hard to swallow.
For example, even if Su Mi tried her best to cater to the crowd, she only ate two mouthfuls and could not eat anymore.
After eating the crabs, Jiujiu drank the chrysanthemum wine and looked at the others who surrounded the Fourth Prince and talked about him. She yawned lazily. How boring.
Since she had eaten, it was time to go home.
However, before Jiujiu was ready to leave, the Fourth Prince came over again and said to Jiujiu with a smile, "Miss, please wait a moment. I have something to show you."
"What is it?"
The Fourth Prince chuckled, "Please follow me."
Jiujiu followed.
The two of them walked for a few minutes before Jiujiu saw a water tank. Swimming around in the water tank was a fish that should only be found in the deep sea.
The fish's appearance was very ferocious, but Jiujiu knew that in contrast to its ferocious appearance, its meat was very tight and delicate. It tasted sweet and did not have any fishy smell. It could almost be eaten raw.
Jiujiu, who did not like gold, silver, and jewelry, after seeing this deep sea fish, her eyes instantly lit up. She smiled and asked, "Where did this fish come from?"
The Fourth Prince faintly smiled. "This fish was seen by my grandfather's subordinates at the East China Sea. Because they knew that Miss likes to eat rare things, they specially kept it for Miss and sent it to Shengjing day and night for Miss to taste."
Jiujiu really didn't like the Fourth Prince. However, the Fourth Prince's matter had really reached the bottom of her heart.
