The guests and hosts greeted each other in a friendly atmosphere, except for drinking tea, no one touched those dim sums, after half a stick of incense, the girls pushed the trolley and came out, first removed the dim sum on the table, and then put on a new one, four different things for a group, there are pastries and snacks, there are sweet and salty, four groups are placed on the long table, everyone can eat in front of them, and there is no need to stretch out their hands to the side to take it.

As soon as the new dim sum was on the table, everyone was no longer just sitting and drinking tea, the old lady and the princess gave each other a few back and forth, and then picked up the chopsticks and picked up their favorite food, and waited until they both tasted it, and the others began to move the chopsticks.

The crown princess is also born in the Zhu family of the founding prince of Fuyang, and the uncles and brothers in the family are still important ministers in the military power, which is the queen's help for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, and the old lady and the eldest lady who were born in the Huang family of the Duke of Yiguo and the Hou He family of Lanshan belong to the same circle, and they are very familiar with each other, because the younger brother of the prince of the first country who joined the army married the daughter of the Zhu family, and the princess is still the grandchild of the old lady.

So the prince's family came over today, it's really like going to relatives, but after the emperor's grandson's distress incident, there are a lot more people who go out.

The original families of the second lady and the third lady are not in this inner circle, and they are naturally not familiar with the crown princess, sitting at the table and listening to the three of them reminisce, these two concubines can't keep up with the train of thought, and find that there are indeed many things that they are not qualified to know in these two rooms.

The third lady's brain turned fast, she shouldn't know it, she didn't bother to figure it out, turned her head and responded to the county lord and the emperor's grandson, and the second lady was very curious about the relationship between the characters they talked about, which she couldn't hear at home on weekdays, no one would tell her this, and she had a high temperament and disdained to take the initiative to make friends, and she couldn't catch up with anything interesting that happened in the capital.

Before the meal, the dim sum is regularly presented at intervals of half a stick of incense, and the portion is not much, that is, to taste fresh, after all, you have to keep your stomach for lunch.

When it was almost noon, the girl came in and reported that the luncheon was ready and ready to be opened, so the guests and hosts moved back to the front hall again.

The previous tables and chairs in the hall were emptied at the moment, and they were replaced by three very special large round tables, with a turntable in the middle of the round table, three princesses, four housemothers in the Guogong Mansion, two daughters in the second room, and five daughters in the third room, adding up to a total of fourteen people.

The crown princess and the old lady sat down, the eldest lady and the two concubines sat together, Gu Wan and Gu Chan, the two young ladies were responsible for entertaining the county lord and the imperial grandson, and the five concubines in the third room happened to form a table by themselves.

After everyone sat down in order, the girls wiped their hands with hot hand towels, and then passed the dishes, and the three wine jars of Fushou were all served first, and after the sealed lotus leaves were uncovered, the fragrance wafting out was not greasy.

After drinking the soup before it was officially served, Bai Ko would not let other dishes steal the limelight of this soup, but the second lady was bitter, looking at her soup bowl and not daring to put her mouth down, she still didn't know which seafood caused her to have a rash all over her body last time, so she had to avoid eating it all, but this time Bai Ko did not prepare other soup for her alone, in order not to make the princess question, she had to drink a little reluctantly.

Fortunately, this delicious soup has attracted all the attention of the crown princess, and she did not notice the embarrassment of the second lady, and a pair of children also praised the soup loudly.

After drinking the soup, I began to serve the wine and food, and saw the role of the turntable on the table, and the princess praised this folk wisdom, the palace is still divided into meal systems, whether it is daily diet or palace banquets, one person has the same dishes on a square table, except for the round stone table in the garden, the room is full of square furniture, this big round table is called the princess really looked fresh.

Bai Ko specially prepared a bottle of orange juice soda for the county lord and the imperial grandson, packed in a crystal bottle, and placed on the table particularly beautiful, these two little ones were amazed and amazed, and the eldest lady was quite proud to introduce to the princess that it was Bai Ko's secret recipe, except for her, no one would do it, a sharp weapon to coax children, and there was nothing that the children who came to the house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year did not like it.

Dishes are constantly served on the table, more than the palace to eat, the saint's lunch is only twenty dishes, Bai Ko prepared twenty-four dishes, a meal to eat a hundred dishes has never been since the founding of the dynasty, even if it is a palace feast, the number of dishes is also controlled in the range of not allowed to be wasted.

The luncheon ended with Zhenghui Emperor's grandson's favorite seashell soup, he drank half a cup very hard, and after rinsing his mouth, he also told his sister Jingyun County Lord that if he hadn't eaten too much before, he would have been able to drink that cup of soup.

Everyone laughed and praised the little emperor's good appetite, and then they moved to the retreat to eat tea and chat, and new snacks and fruits were already on the long table.

At this time, the crown princess no longer only talked to the old lady and the eldest lady, but her topic turned to the young ladies present, tested their knowledge, and came up with a topic for them to dictate and compose poems.

Gu Wan and Gu Chan were the most proud of their knowledge, they could answer any question the princess asked, the five concubines under the knees of the third lady could not compare at all, and the second lady's face finally showed a little smugness.

The crown princess was also happy, praised and praised the two sisters, and praised the second lady for raising the children well, and rewarded the mother and daughter on the spot, so happy that the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked them.

After some excitement, the second lady, mother and daughter returned to their seats, and the crown princess saw that the girls of the Gu family were so old, so she asked them the two questions that best reflected the quality of girls, female celebrity and cooking.

Female red is the easiest, look at the handkerchiefs they carry with them to know how skillful, in this regard, Gu Wan and Gu Chan are also confident, but when asked about cooking, they became mute, the second lady prepared Guan Xiumei for her daughters and the four of them will marry in the future, the sisters completely gave up the pursuit of cooking, and lived in the Pingzhou government office with their parents for a few months, and they didn't know where the kitchen was. In the months when their father took office, they went into the kitchen, could cook a table of coarse tea and light rice, and they all had some cooking experience.

The crown princess didn't expect this to be the result, it was completely reversed, and she felt a little embarrassed, and the second lady who had been smiling and receiving the reward before couldn't hold it on her face, and the eldest lady hurriedly wanted to play a round, but the county lord of Jingyun took the lead, and asked the aunts present with a smile if there was a fun program arranged for the Shangyuan Festival tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, the third brother Yun invited friends and sisters to come to the house for the holiday, Bai Ko is going to make a roast leg of lamb, and after dinner, we will go to the street to watch the lanterns." The youngest Miss Nine, Gu Rao, quickly answered.

"Roast leg of lamb?!" The county lord and the emperor and grandson spoke in unison, their eyes widened, and then they looked at their mother expectantly.

The crown princess was even more embarrassed, she didn't expect her child to suddenly become so delicious.

"You two children, this is still a guest, but you're not polite at all." The crown princess smiled helplessly.

"They are all relatives, what is polite to us, it is good to like our family's food, and we will often come and go if we are worried. However, you two little ones should remember to ask your father, if he allows it, you will come early tomorrow afternoon, and the afternoon snack made by Bai Ko will be called level. ”

The old lady looked at these two little treasures with a smile, of course she was happy to have frequent contacts with the East Palace, Tong Guò had the opportunity to rescue the emperor and grandson this time, and it was a good thing that the Yeguo Mansion and the East Palace had a direct connection.
