Chapter 1604 The Lamplighter (60)
Maidservant: "Greetings, Goddess! His Highness the Crown Prince has instructed that you be invited downstairs for a meal!"
Feng Qing smiled slightly, raised her hand, and gently gave the order.
Feng Qing: "I understand. I'll be downstairs shortly to participate in the meal. You may leave now."
Maid: "Yes, I understand."
The maid bowed her head, turned to the side and curtsied, and softly replied.
She took a few steps back, turned around and quietly left. Feng Qing sighed softly, then closed the door, quickly left the room, and went downstairs.
The restaurant downstairs was already packed with people.
They were just waiting for Feng Qing's arrival. Such polite table manners were truly the mark of a large family, and only a large family would have such table manners.
Feng Qing looked slightly embarrassed, nodded to everyone, forced a smile, and spoke politely and respectfully.
Feng Qing: "I'm sorry, everyone, for keeping you waiting!"
Feng Qing: "You've all been starving while waiting for me, haven't you?"
Feng Qing: "I'm so sorry, everyone, please eat, come on, let's start eating."
The rules here dictate that the head of the family has the highest authority. Feng Qing is indeed the most important factor, but he is still just a guest.
Here, at this dining table, only the head of the household is truly qualified to speak and issue orders.
As the head of the family and the Crown Prince, no one dared to make any move unless he spoke.
After Feng Qing sat down, His Highness the Crown Prince spoke, giving instructions in a soft voice.
Jun Wuming: "Everyone's here, let's start eating!"
Jun Wuming: "Quickly, let's start eating!"
In an instant, the dining table went from quiet to lively. Everyone dropped all formalities and immediately picked up their bowls and chopsticks to start eating.
Actually, while waiting, he was quite serious and dignified.
Once His Highness the Crown Prince gives the order to begin the meal, the table is in complete chaos. All the rules about not speaking while eating or sleeping are just empty words. People just stand up and reach for whatever they like, using it in a beautiful and meticulous manner.
Yelü Li and Yelü Feng clapped their hands and spoke up happily.
Yelü Li: "Oh dear, dinner's ready! Dinner's ready! Which one do you like?"
Yelü Feng: "I like what's in front of you, Ali, pass it to me!"
Jun Wuyou looked at the things on the table, all of which were things he liked. He stood up and stretched out his hand, sweeping each plate around like a whirlwind, creating a very lively and enthusiastic atmosphere. It was also a very harmonious way of getting along.
It looks a bit strange, like it's been starving for years, as if it wants to devour all the good food at once.
Feng Qing was slightly surprised. The usually composed Crown Prince was also unable to fit in, remaining aloof and polite, focusing on eating the food in front of him.
His rules seem to only apply to himself.
In a fleeting moment when he glanced up unintentionally, he looked at Feng Qing, gave a slight smile, and spoke softly.
Jun Wuming: "There aren't so many rules now, everyone can do as they please!"
Feng Qing smiled slightly, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and gently picked up a grain of rice, putting it in her mouth and slowly chewing to savor the delicious food and its sweet taste.
I'd only taken a few bites when the videos hanging on the wall started playing again, that agonizing video—interviews with the rat clan's patriarchs and other famous figures.
