After the banquet started, the ambience was especially peculiar.
The crown prince was silent, which made others afraid of talking casually, too.
Qin Guilu gave an artificial cough and respectfully reminded, "Your Highness."
The crown prince raised his head and looked at the two rows of guests seated below him. He nodded and said, "Today is Family Head Qin's birthday, so everyone need not be reserved. Let's start eating."
Everyone's expressions then relaxed, and they picked up their chopsticks, nonchalantly taking a bite.
Afterwards: …
"Ah, bleck, bleck."
"Bleck…"
"Puh?"
"Cough, cough!"
All sorts of strange spitting noises sounded from these aristocrat and patrician families' mouths.
Everyone looked speechlessly at the confounded Qin Guilu. They saw him try a taste too, and his face turned green!
He didn't know whether to spit it out or not now.
