Chapter 84: Be the best man in the world
The hustle and bustle outside the palace didn't affect Chu Shuhuang, and she was busy in her own little world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Halloween Festival is coming, and the gift that Chu Shuhuang prepared for Emperor Chu is to cook it himself. But the cooks in the palace are the best, she really can't find a specialty, and finally decided to make Western food!
Steak, vegetable salad, black pepper pork chop, pumpkin cream bisque, plus a birthday cake.
Forgive her, it's really her limit.
Two days before the Halloween Festival, the experiment was finally successful according to the method in memory. At dinner, Chu Shuhuang asked people to serve their own Western food and came to Fengxiang Palace. The emperor and the queen were preparing to pass the meal, and when they saw the food served by the palace people behind Chu Shuhuang, the queen smiled slightly and said, "Huang'er has come to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
"Come on, come on, let my father see." Emperor Chu lost the majesty of the palace, and he was completely like a loving father.
"On my father's birthday, my sons made some food to honor my father and mother, and asked my father and mother to change their taste."
Chu Shuhuang asked people to put Western food on the table, introduced it to everyone one by one, and asked the people around his father, queen and mother to try it. Forget about anything else, Yu An, the chief manager beside Emperor Chu, pointed to the round birthday cake and said in embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, how should you taste this round thing ......?"
Chu Shuhuang cut the cake and said to Yu An and Mama Huang: "You serve by the side of your father and queen mother, and you are the one who has the greatest credit, of course you eat this cake." ”
Yu An said with a smile: "With your words, princess, what the old slave eats is the sweetest." ”
"Then you can taste the sweetness of this cake?"
Yu An took a bite of the cream, and immediately smiled on his face: "Well, it's so sweet, it's delicious." ”
"Then try this again." Chu Shuhuang pointed to the vegetable salad and said.
Yu An looked at the raw leaves that were coated with milky white things, and his heart was a little drumming, "This is raw?" ”
Chu Shuhuang smiled and nodded.
In the eyes of everyone, Yu An put a small handful in his mouth, only to see that the usual deep chief manager frowned tightly, and his face was distorted. After he finished eating, Chu Shuhuang asked, "How is it?" ”
Yu An pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "The old slave didn't understand, please let the old slave taste it again." ”
Emperor Chu, who was watching from the side, laughed, and everyone in the hall was happy for a while.
Yu An tasted it again, frowning and chewing carefully. This time, the look was not as exaggerated as last time, but it was not the look of enjoyment when I ate the deliciousness, but fortunately, it slowly eased up in the end.
Chu Shuhuang smiled and said, "You taste it again, this time you will understand it." ”
Yu An took another bite, his soothing expression was more natural, and after eating, he pondered: "Although the taste is a little peculiar, it is also delicious to chew carefully." ”
Fengxiang Palace was full of joy, and after the Emperor and Empress Chu tasted it, they gave it to the palace people, and everyone was experiencing this novel taste, full of laughter.
Two days later, Halloween arrived.
Chu Shuhuang got up early in the morning to bathe and freshen up, and after breakfast, he was served by the palace people and changed into the princess's formal clothes, came to the Jinhua Palace, and congratulated his father under the leadership of the queen with the wife of the court. It wasn't until after lunch that I returned to Xuan Ya Ge, and after taking a bath, I fell asleep on the bed tiredly.
However, the millennium hall broke the peaceful atmosphere because of a sentence, and the crowd became excited.
After everyone offered their birthdays, the Sha envoy said loudly: "My emperor sent his ministers this time, in addition to celebrating the birthday of Emperor Chu, there is actually one more thing. The five princes of our country have been smart and clever since childhood, and they have won the favor of the emperor, and now they have reached the age of the weak crown, and they want to marry Princess Shengping as a concubine. ”
Suddenly, the vast hall was silent, and everyone seemed to be frozen by this voice.
The eldest prince spoke first, and said lightly: "My princess of Chu is golden and elegant, graceful and elegant, and should be the best man in the world." Although your five princes are noble, they can't be the best men, how can they marry our princess? ”
The eldest prince lagged behind, and some opposing ministers also spoke. But there are also some people who are more down-to-earth in their hearts, it turns out that what Sang Guo wants is just a princess, and a princess in exchange for the peace of Chu is too worthwhile.
The third prince said loudly: "Although Princess Shengping is only ten years old now, she has asked people to retrieve the seeds of kapok in foreign tribes and promote them throughout the country. To relieve the suffering of the people, the soldiers do not have to be afraid of the cold, such a woman, even if she is not a princess, I am reluctant to marry far away. ”
The words of the third prince woke up a group of people and won a piece of echo.
Emperor Chu stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said slowly: "Princess Shengping was born wise, not arrogant or indulgent, and cares about the people, and it is normal for the prince of Sang Kingdom to come and ask for it. It's just that the people of Chu are reluctant to marry the princess far away, so they have to live up to the good intentions of the five princes. ”
The sand envoy was not angry because of everyone's opposition, and still said with a faint expression: "Although the fifth prince has not been famous in the world, he is a rare young talent, and he will do something in the future." Now that Princess Shengping is still young, Emperor Chu and all the adults should think about it carefully, so as not to regret it in the future! ”
This has the meaning of coercion.
Chu Shuhuang slept for a long time, and after waking up, she felt refreshed, and just after using a bowl of bird's nest, the Xiang'er girl next to the queen came to invite her to Fengxiang Palace.
The queen still gently held her in her arms, and the mother and daughter were intimate before telling Chu Shuhuang about the front hall, and comforted her: "Your father and brother will not agree, my son can rest assured." ”
It turned out to be this thing, no wonder the palace people of Fengxiang Palace today are weird.
What has been fearing all the time, when it actually happens, it turns out that it is not so scary.
Chu Shuhuang comforted the queen and said: "Erchen believes in his father and eldest brother, and the queen mother, please rest assured, Erchen is not such a weak female stream, Sang Guo thinks too well." ”
Seeing that Chu Shuhuang was so indifferent, the queen thought that she was still a little girl after all, and she didn't understand the power of this matter. But it doesn't matter, just protect your daughter yourself.
Although Chu Shuhuang comforted the queen with confidence, he knew in his heart that it was not so easy to make the Chu State strong quickly. Not only national strength, but also a tough military, these are not things she can do by herself.
Could it be that she had prepared too little? As the daughter of the royal family, in order to compete for power and suspicion unnecessarily, she shrunk herself into the scope of business. She doesn't regret it now, as long as her family is doing well, this princess doesn't do it.
Speaking of which, I was also negligent. Knowing that she was invincible, she had been focusing on the Chu State, but she had not considered the situation of the Sang State, but fortunately, it was still too late.
It's a big deal to kill Sang Kingdom, and kill him upside down.
In this extraordinary period, Chu Shuhuang couldn't do anything else, so he rearranged his time table and practiced martial arts hard in the palace. (To be continued.) )
