Text_Chapter 1243 Night Tide Specialty: Gift
In fact, there is no need to introduce Baili Ideal, everyone can see that the tableware in front of them is not small. It's just that Thyme Lane is also introduced, and everyone is still surprised.
For example, Baili Mingxiang said that the tableware on the second seat is not annoying, it is a black porcelain that is hard to find, and each set of tableware has a total of 59 pieces, and only 10 pieces of colorful dragon and phoenix porcelain are given.
For another example, Thyme Fragrance said that under the second seat, the tableware on the hundred seats present is a very rare white jade porcelain, which is both jade and porcelain, and each set of tableware has a total of fifty-five pieces, second only to the four pieces of black porcelain tableware in the second seat. Regardless of the value of these porcelains, and the number of pieces of these porcelain, the whole audience adds up to thousands of pieces of tableware. If you want to use all these utensils, how many physical items do you need?
How do you eat dozens of servings of food for one person?
Even if there is no disaster in the Northern Calendar, even if Daqin is not short of food now, and even if Daqin is already a very rich country, it is not so wasteful!
On each person's table, there is a round food plate, a pair of chopsticks, and a wine glass, and the three things are deducted, and the other tableware is used to hold food, which is served by the palace maids one after another and placed in front of everyone.
After Thyme Xiang finished saying that, the palace maids had already given everyone three personal food pots, large, medium and small, and each food pot was covered with a lid, so that they couldn't see what was inside. However, you can see the heat coming out of the edge of the lid and smell the fragrance.
As far as the fragrance is concerned, everyone can basically judge that these three food pots should contain meat.
Although Long Feiye said that there was a banquet, he didn't use chopsticks, and no one present could move chopsticks, so in the face of hot and fragrant food, everyone couldn't do anything, they could only smell it.
Baili Yuanlong and Xiao An's people seem to have cold faces, but in fact, they are excited in their hearts, and even Baili Yuanlong, who is in a hurry, is completely patient.
He waited, waited for all the dishes to be served, and waited for those loyal and upright people in the court to be completely disappointed in Han Yunxi.
He knew that the emperor was already wary of him, and he might not be able to persuade the emperor, but if those loyal ministers also joined, at least the emperor could re-examine the woman beside him.
He had heard it again a long time ago, and heard that the emperor was in the imperial study, and several ministers said that he had changed, and the Baili family was no longer the Baili family before.
Then, recently, he let the emperor take a look. People will change, and Han Yunxi, who did not hesitate to risk his life for disaster relief, will also change.
Actually, the emperor himself has changed, hasn't he? Perhaps, he has become the earliest one, since he met Han Yunxi, he is no longer the master before the Baili family, right?
Except for Baili Yuanlong's gang, some of the ministers at the back of the seat all looked worried and looked at each other. They have a lot of respect for the queen mother, and they are also full of expectations. However, today's banquet made them very disappointed.
The prince's first birthday banquet is indeed a big event, and it can't be cold, but now is an extraordinary time after all, and the queen has to be more restrained.
Of course, everyone is worried in their hearts, and no one dares to speak out to admonish, after all, the emperor is sitting on the top, and he has only said one sentence so far, no one can figure out what he thinks of the queen's approach. Moreover, this banquet has just begun, and the dishes have not yet been served.
Even if you want to advise, you must have a good reason to convince the emperor.
Except for Long Feiye and a few of Han Yunxi's henchmen, in the huge hall, hundreds of people are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi ignored the others, her attention was on Thyme, and she was becoming more and more satisfied with Thyme.
She said with a smile, "It's rare to meet a person who knows the goods, Mrs. Lixiang, and the package will be rewarded to you as a prince." ”
Thyme hurriedly walked out of her seat and thanked her.
After Thyme Re-seated, the audience returned to silence, and only the palace maid was still dancing gracefully and continuing to serve food for everyone. Each dish is covered and steaming, full of aroma and mouth-watering.
The weather was cold, and, according to the specifications of the feast, it was true that every dish had to be covered, so everyone was not suspicious.
It's already time to eat, and many people are hungry. It's a pity that Long Feiye didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, and everyone could only accompany them hungry.
Long Feiye sat high on it, less dignified and majestic when he was in the court, and more leisurely and lazy, but the domineering between his eyebrows, the dignity on his body, and the temperament of the king were undiminished.
He didn't pay much attention to the people below, even when Bai Lixiang explained the origin of those tableware, the realization of his spoiling was also on Han Yunxi.
It seems that he knows that Han Yunxi is messing around, and he also knows that everyone is dissatisfied with this queen, but he is willing to let her mess around.
After Baili Xiang sat down, she couldn't help but look at Long Feiye again, she had heard all kinds of things about this master since she was a child, and she finally saw it recently.
Seeing him handsome, domineering and noble, and arrogant and cold, she, like all the women who have seen him, will be instantly moved.
However, she knew very sensibly that she had missed the opportunity more than 20 years ago. She only blamed her sister Baili Mingxiang in her heart. After Baili Mingxiang entered the Qin Palace's maid, there were so many opportunities, why couldn't he seize it? Otherwise, next to this man today, there will be at least one more position of imperial concubine, and her Baili family will also have one more bargaining chip.
After being quiet for a while, everyone silently counted the dishes in front of them. There are still a lot of dishes that have not been served, won't the emperor wait until all the dishes are served before the banquet is really held?
Gu Qishao and Gu Beiyue both rushed over today, and they didn't know anything about what Han Yunxi and Long Feiye wanted to do. Although Gu Qishao often spoils good things in the night, however, this banquet is also Rui'er's home field recently, so he naturally keeps his mouth shut.
He sat with his arms folded around his chest, sniffing the table full of vegetables, as if he had discovered something.
And Gu Beiyue didn't seem to have much interest in the food on the table, he got up and broke the silence.
"The lower official has prepared a thin gift for His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope His Royal Highness will accept it with a smile."
There are two kinds of gifts for this kind of birthday banquet, one is to "give" before entering the table, and the other is called "offering" gifts. Sending is the rule of ordinary people. And "dedication" is the number of royal rites.
There were nearly 100 people present, and those with low status gave the first birthday gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early after entering the palace. And those with high status will give great gifts in public at the banquet.
Generally speaking, the offering will start after the feast, and the wine will be passed after the three rounds.
Since Gu Beiyue started from the beginning, and everyone was hungry, no one cared too much about Gu Beiyue. After all, there are not many people who need to give gifts in court, perhaps, after the gifts, the emperor will move the chopsticks?
What kind of birthday gift Gu Beiyue, the princess, will give to His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone is still looking forward to it.
Gu Beiyue asked people to send gifts, and what he gave was nothing else, but a huge map!
He himself and his servants unfolded the map and showed it to the emperor, the queen, and the crown prince, as well as to the ministers.
This map is even taller than him, more than two meters wide, and it is a large map of the clouds.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a hand-drawn drawing that the lower official took three months to draw, covering every county and town in the Cloud Sky Continent. Places prone to floods, droughts, fires, snowstorms, and other rare disasters are all marked by the lower officials. ”
Gu Beiyue paused for a moment, as if sighing lightly, "This year, the northern part of Great Qin has been in the midst of disasters, famine, plague and snow disasters alternately, and the people are struggling to survive. His Royal Highness turned one year old today, and the lower officials offered this thing to pray for the royal mercy for the victims of the disaster in the north and for the people of Daqin, and wish me no more disasters in Daqin. ”
Rui'er didn't understand, but he had long been attracted by the huge map, and he glanced at his father, and when he saw his father nodding, he jumped down from his seat this time and walked to the unfolded map.
He was only a year old, and he was already small, but when he stopped in front of the map, he seemed even smaller. However, he was not intimidated by this behemoth, he put his hands behind his back, looked up, and looked at every location on the map.
Everyone fell silent, including Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, the two of them looked at Xiao Rui'er's back looking up at the map of Daqin, and they had the same thoughts in their hearts.
Time flies, decades whizz by, Rui'er will eventually grow up one day, he will no longer look up at this map, but will stand at the highest place of Daqin, step on Daqin halfway, and look at the world! At that time, Daqin must be a prosperous and prosperous country, and there will be no more wars and disasters!
In the eyes of Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, Gu Beiyue placed such expectations on Xiao Rui'er.
It's a pity that many people present have a different understanding. In their opinion, Gu Beiyue mentioned the victims at such a grand and wasteful feast, and this must have changed her way to remind the emperor and express her dissatisfaction with the queen!
Baili Yuanlong stroked his beard, and secretly thought, he really didn't respect the wrong person, there were so many people in the entire Western Qin camp, he would serve Beiyue alone. Bai Lixiang smiled slightly, and secretly looked at Gu Beiyuelai, hearing that the dean of the medical school had married a woman with both legs ruined, she really couldn't believe it!
Xiao Dong kept giving Xiao An a look, in his opinion, Gu Beiyue had expressed his position first, so they naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and take this opportunity to speak out.
However, Xiao An glared back at Xiao Dong's impulse with an unhappy gaze.
In this recent show, who will come out and who will pick it up first, it's really hard to say!
As soon as Gu Beiyue returned to her seat, Gu Qishao gave away the title deed of the No. 7 Tea House, and Tang Li and Ning Ning gave away a special hidden toy.
After the imperial family, it was the gift of the four kingdoms.
Among the four princes, Baili Yuanlong often regarded himself as the head of the four kingdoms. This time, he was also the first to stand up. In the expectation of everyone, Baili Yuanlong presented a pearl with both hands.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a new white pearl in the East China Sea this year, I wish to be careful, and I hope to smile!"
At this moment, everyone looked at each other and became terrified.
Lord Baili sent a pearl as a national prince, and it was a very, very ordinary pearl, what did he mean by that? This has the meaning of provoking the prince and the queen!
Rui'er didn't understand, but he also felt that Lord Baili had a bad attitude, so he didn't move.
Baili Yuanlong has always maintained the action of offering gifts, but soon, Han Yunxi said in a cold tone, "Lord Baili, tell me, what is so special about this white pearl?" Worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince's laughter? ”
