Concubine Jin covered her nose.
"Think about a whole table of dishes." Jiang Ning tempted her.
"You..." Concubine Jin frowned tightly, hesitated for a moment, and eventually opened her mouth, carefully nibbling a small bite.
She chewed it.
Jiang Ning grinned as she watched her.
Concubine Jin swallowed and looked at her, asking, "What is this?"
"It's called stinky..."
"Huh?"
"Oh, it's called Black Jade Tofu." Seeing that Concubine Jin's expression wasn't right, Jiang Ning immediately changed her words cleverly.
There were many rules in the palace, and ordinary foods had to be given extraordinary names to distinguish them from common foods eaten by ordinary people, showing their nobility.
For example, ordinary cabbage tofu soup in the palace would be called Jadeite and White Jade Soup.
By this token, the black stinky tofu could not be called stinky tofu; it was called Black Jade Tofu, showing the nobility of Your Highness.
