Chapter 533: Concubine Li's Anger
The practice banquet of sending off the Persian envoys naturally needs to be carefully arranged, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be rude and laughing.
Yang Chun personally asked about almost everything, from the guests who needed to be present on the day of the banquet, to the tea cup wine, and he didn't dare to be sloppy.
As for the dishes to be prepared on the day of the banquet, she was even more concerned, and personally called the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room to inquire.
The eunuch in charge replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave has specially made a list and asked Niangniang to look at it." ”
A palace maid took the menu and presented it to Yang Chun.
Yang Chun took the menu in his hand, took a cursory look at it, and then handed it to the grandmother beside him: "Go and send this menu to Concubine Li's side, ask her if these are authentic Persian dishes, and then come back to me." ”
Although Mama didn't understand what her intention was in doing this, she still took the menu to Zhong Cui Palace.
Then it took about half an hour before he turned back.
Yang Chun asked, "What did Concubine Li say?"
Mama pointed to the names of a few dishes on the menu: "Niang Niang said that these dishes are not Persian cuisine at all, so I added a few more items to it." ”
Yang Chun revisited the menu with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”
......
The practice banquet was held as scheduled.
Because Yang Chun is pregnant and has always been low-key, even on such occasions, she only wears a homely plain long skirt, which is not very eye-catching among the warblers.
And today's Concubine Li, because it is the first time since Concubine Feng attended such an occasion, deliberately wanted to be in the limelight, so she was dressed up extraordinarily graceful and gorgeous.
She wore a goose-yellow robe, with layers of light gauze floating on the outside, giving people a fluttering feeling.
Her hair bun today is also combed extraordinarily delicately, combining the Persian hair ornament and the hairstyle of the women in the palace to a clever combination, which looks extraordinarily luxurious and extraordinarily different.
In addition, she has an excellent figure and extraordinarily beautiful facial features, and she is enough to make people shine and be shocked.
Because as soon as she appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present, so Concubine Li thought that she must be the focus of today's banquet.
But what she couldn't have imagined was that everyone only paid attention to her for a moment when she first appeared, and then shifted their attention to Yang Chun, who was sitting at the top.
And everyone's topic naturally revolves around the child in Yang Chun's belly.
Someone smiled and said: "Is the queen going to give birth next month, look at this belly is not small, presumably the little prince must grow strong." ”
Before Yang Chun could speak, Tang Yunzhao beside her smiled and said: "That's natural, the imperial doctor just examined the queen, and said that the little prince is stronger than the average fetus." ”
Yang Chun subconsciously touched his stomach, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright.
Another humane: "As long as the queen mother gives birth to a prince, she will be a proper prince of the East Palace, which is really gratifying." ”
Yang Chun smiled: "I don't care what prince is not son......"
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yunzhao on the side interrupted her: "This child is born, as long as he is a boy, he will naturally be established as a prince, whether you care or not." ”
Yang Chun smiled and didn't say anything.
Although the people in the palace are giggling on the surface, in fact, it is also up to the people to put the dishes.
Although Concubine Li entered the palace with the title of Persian princess in a beautiful manner, but seeing that she entered the palace for a few days, she couldn't get Tang Yunzhao's other eyes, and everyone naturally treated her lightly, which is also human nature.
If you are an ordinary person, when you encounter this situation, you will naturally judge the situation, put yourself in the right position, and act in a low-key manner.
However, since she was a child, Concubine Li, who has been pampered and has been high, is naturally unwilling to do so.
At this time, she was full of unwillingness, but everyone seemed to ignore her existence, and she couldn't find an opportunity to attract attention.
Finally, Tang Yunzhao diverted his attention from Yang Chun beside him, and Concubine Li hurriedly accosted him: "Your Majesty, I heard that you loved to eat osmanthus cake before, and today's osmanthus cake tastes good, why don't you taste it?"
Tang Yunzhao's face was faint, and he looked at the piece of osmanthus cake she handed to him: "I do love to eat osmanthus cake, but I don't like it except for the queen's making." ”
Concubine Li finally said a word, but she unexpectedly sprinkled a wave of dog food, and her heart was like being knocked over a five-flavor bottle, how awkward it was.
Thinking of her dignified Persian princess, when did she receive such a cold reception when she was like the stars holding the moon in China?
She thought that if she got married, even if she couldn't ban Yang Chun's position and call for wind and rain in the palace, she would definitely be able to capture the heart of the young emperor in front of her with her beauty and talent.
But what she couldn't have imagined was that she had been in the palace for a few days, and she had never had a chance to be alone with Tang Yunzhao, let alone be favored by him.
She was a hundred unconvinced and resentful in her heart, what is so good about that Yang Chun, in terms of background, she is not as noble as herself, and she is not better than herself in terms of appearance, and she is not in terms of figure...... She is pregnant now, with a big belly, how ugly it is.
How could she make Tang Yunzhao obsessed.
The more Concubine Li thought about it, the more angry she became.
But fortunately, at this time, the eunuch who presided over the banquet began to give orders in a loud voice: "Serve!"
Then I saw a tray in my hand, and the palace maids lined up and entered in order.
The unhappiness in Concubine Li's heart disappeared in an instant, and there was even an invisible smile on the corner of her lips.
When Yang Chun asked her to read the recipe before, she crossed out all the authentic Persian dishes on it and replaced them with some ordinary dishes, and also kept those that were not authentic.
Her purpose in doing this was naturally to make Yang Chun look ugly.
Imagine that when the Persian envoys were stunned when they saw those dishes, Concubine Li felt extremely happy in her heart.
Normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, when there are envoys moving around, they must serve the dishes of the envoy's country, mind showing respect for the guest state.
It's an unwritten rule.
And once someone breaks the rules, although it will not cause serious consequences, it is bound to fall into the hands of others.
After all, this is a state banquet, and there are too many involved.
And once something goes wrong, Yang Chun, as the person in charge of this banquet, will definitely be to blame.
Even if Tang Yunzhao usually loves her, no matter how much she loves her, she can't avoid a reprimand, right?
Concubine Li thought to herself: Yang Chun, Yang Chun, if you want to fight with me, you are not qualified enough.
She wants to see how Yang Chun makes a fool of herself today!
At this time, Concubine Li's heart was extremely looking forward to it.
