Chapter 304: Six Grain Feast
"It's really rare to smell such a delicacy in the world." Among them was a minister who was so self-absorbed in the food that he couldn't extricate himself.
Xia Hanxun also tasted a few sips, and the taste was indeed good.
Immediately after that, the boiled corn and potatoes were served.
A vegetarian banquet without any meat and food appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Xia Han is looking for the northern country of Yan, and there can be new food into the country, and he can toast and celebrate.
Of course, Bai Mengtan has not forgotten that the intention of coming here this time, since he had agreed with His Majesty Yanbei in advance, there must be no jokes.
"Your Majesty can come to Yanbei this time to give you, the six grains of the Northern Qi Kingdom. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Night King, he would have played a role in reconciliation between the two countries. This palace will not risk its own life and come to sue for peace. The planting of these six grains is not difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is simple, and His Royal Highness the Night King once went to Su Khan on the border of Northern Qi with the palace to plant six grains for disaster relief. ”
Bai Mengtan said that the people present looked at it in their eyes, but no one dared to speak out, you must know that these people are almost divided into two factions, on one side is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the faction headed by Prime Minister Ge Cheng.
On the other side is the faction headed by Jiang Guifei and Jiang Taifu.
No one wants to, let Xia Yetou take the opportunity to enter the court.
Everyone knows that this matter of being in charge of the imperial grain is a pie in the sky.
Xia Han found that no one took the initiative to speak at the banquet, and fell into silence for a while.
He motioned to sit down on the lower left, intently munching on the Cheyenne book.
Xia Anshu first noticed that someone was staring at him, and this time he looked up, and happened to meet Xia Hanxun's eyes.
Reluctantly, he swallowed the chewed corn in his mouth, coughed a few times, beat his chest with some embarrassment, and echoed, "What the third princess of Northern Qi said is reasonable." Since His Royal Highness the Night King is so familiar with the planting technology of the six grains, why not hand over the post of the head of the household to the hands of His Royal Highness the Night King, and plant the six grains on the territory of Yanbei as soon as possible. ”
He knew that he must have angered the ministers of the two factions present, but he was more afraid of offending the emperor's order than being besieged by the two factions.
You have to die faster, both horizontally and vertically, maybe judging from the current trend, taking refuge in the name of Natsuya Teng can be regarded as a way out.
With Xia Anshu on the side to help, Xia Hanxun followed what he was going to say later, and it was much easier.
"Since Xia Yushi has spoken, if all the Aiqing have no objections, then Gu has decided like this."
"Wait." At the same time that Xia Han was looking for the summer night vine.
The treacherous and cunning Mrs. Jiang shouted.
"When will Taifu report it?" Xia Hanxun was obviously dissatisfied with Mrs. Jiang for suddenly interrupting his decision.
But he must respect the will of the people.
"His Royal Highness the Night King is familiar with the cultivation of the six grains, but after all, the six grains are foreign plants, if they are really planted in a large area, I don't know if this kind of food can adapt to the physique of the people of Yanbei." Jiang Taifu was dissatisfied with Xia Yeteng's beheading, and Sun Hang under his own hands.
How could he easily let Xia Yato enter the court and snatch the few power in his hands with himself.
"As for whether the people of Yanbei can eat or not, Liugu, please let Master Taifu relax."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help frowning, could it be that this girl from the Northern Qi Kingdom was still selling something.
"Third princess, what do you say?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Bai Mengtan smiled tactfully, and the words in his eyes to Mrs. Jiang had already been expected.
The white-clothed embroidered Luo skirt is particularly dazzling in the eyes of all powerful ministers.
Bai Mengtan glanced at Xiao Tingxuan beside him, Xiao Tingxuan signaled to the entourage beside him, and brought out a plate of exquisite pastries from the food he brought.
The pastry is exquisitely made, and its fragrance is fragrant, but I don't know what the materials used in it are.
However, there are also sharp-eyed ministers, and at first glance it is clear where the pastry comes from.
Then he shouted, "Confidant." ”
When the ministers heard that this pastry was from Zhixinzhai, they were all quite curious and stretched out their heads to look.
You must know that this Zhixinzhai is three years ago, appeared in Yanbei all over the country, but its price is quite high, the daily production of varieties is limited, many dignitaries have been able to buy a piece, Zhixinzhai's pastries are proud.
As for the rumors in the outside world, no one has really seen the whole variety of pastries in Zhixinzhai.
There was once a powerful person, trying to buy all, the varieties of pastries in Zhixinzhai, he ordered people to wait at the door of Zhixinzhai every day, and bought a piece of the pastries produced that day, who knew that he bought it for a month, and did not see the same, so that he loved the food of Zhixinzhai more and more.
But the price of this pastry is really high, and after a month, more than half of his family property has been removed, and even if he likes it again, he has to stop in moderation.
"Third princess, I don't know what you mean by bringing out this pastry?" Zhixinzhai's pastries, Jiang Taifu should have heard of them, so what does this have to do with the food sent by the Northern Qi Kingdom.
"Don't hide it from Taifu, this pastry is an ingredient from the six grains."
The news that these pastries came from Rokugu immediately spread throughout the banquet, and many ministers whispered there.
No wonder the pastries of Zhixinzhai are surprisingly expensive, and they are actually passed from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
They weighed each other, if these six grains could really be successfully planted in Yanbei Country, it would be a good deal no matter what.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jiang Taifu are both wishful thinking with each other, even if Xia Yeteng is made the head of the household department.
He has no real power in the court, and he is willing to assist his courtiers, a plucked rooster, what is there to fear.
With heavy troops in hand, what about food, there is not even a powerful minister who runs for him.
Xia Yetou looked at the ugly mouths of these ministers, looked at the little lady beside him, ran forward and backward for his own future, if he refused her kindness again, it would really hurt her heart.
"Since the father has made pastries from these six grains, they have long been sold among the people in Yanbei, and they have been unanimously loved by the people, so it is thought that the arrival of these six grains is for the benefit of the people of Yanbei, and in order for the people to no longer be troubled by food in the future, the sons and daughters are duty-bound and willing to be responsible for all matters related to the planting of six grains." has always been in the court, and the taciturn summer night vine took the initiative to ask for help.
Jiang Xian wanted to oppose it again, so much so that it seemed that he was a small-bellied chicken intestine, and he couldn't gain a foothold in the court.
Drinking alone and observing every move at the banquet, Xia Yanlie.
With a faint smile, as soon as Bai Mengtan entered the hall, his gaze never left her.
At this time, in his eyes, in addition to disgust for Bai Mengtan, he was more of a hatred for deception.
At the same time, this hatred was also transferred to Natsuyoto's body.
It's just that in the eyes of the ministers, he covered up his behavior very well.
He hadn't forgotten that it was at the beginning, when Xia Ye Fujiguchi kept saying that Bai Mengtan was seriously ill, so he let her go.
Unexpectedly, these two people had already calculated themselves inside and out, the fire in the barracks, and the fact that he arrived at Bai Mengsha early again and suddenly disappeared from his palace.
Xia Yanlie counted all these accounts, and the Xia Yeteng who was watched at the banquet was already in vain.
I know that if I want to find Bai Mengsha again, I will probably have to find this good sister of Bai Mengsha.
It's just that Liugu has been used by Xia Yeteng, even if he has now found Bai Mengsha, and then he has the support of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Xia Yanlie took the lead in holding the wine glass and expressed his brotherly love to Xia Yeteng, "The ministers also feel that it is foolproof to entrust the affairs of the six grains to the hands of the imperial brother, and the ministers present have something to question." ”
Xia Yanlie's heroic eyebrows and eyes smiled, and he supported Xia Yeteng in front of everyone.
The prince's faction, with Xia Yanlie personally coming forward to support Xia Yeteng, naturally the position of the head of the household department is a matter of course.
In the face of Xia Yanlie's initiative to show goodwill, Bai Mengtan was jealous, she knew that Xia Yanlie was not such a good person to talk to.
In her previous life, she had learned that Xia Yanlie's methods were vicious, only what you couldn't think of, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
Xia Yeteng naturally saw Bai Mengtan's worries, since he was ready to tear his face with Xia Yanlie, he was also afraid that Xia Yanlie would be ruthless behind his back.
But if he dares, he will move Bai Mengtan for a fraction, even if it is to fight the entire Guigu Pavilion, he will not let Xia Yanlie have a good time.
And Xia Hanxun looked at it, the scene of brotherly harmony in front of him, which he had always longed for but couldn't get, and the so-called fratricide was also what he hated.
Since Xia Yeteng emerged in the battlefield, he has only been close to Xia Yanlie, so in his opinion, it is reasonable for Xia Yanlie to speak for Xia Yeteng.
"It is really a great blessing for the country to see that you two brothers can live in harmony, and the seat of the head of the household is held by the Night King."
Speaking of this, Xia Hanxun drank the wine fed by Xiao Tianyan, taking this opportunity, how could he miss the relationship between his son and Bai Mengtan.
"I heard that last time the Night King and the crown prince went to visit the Northern Qi Kingdom, did the prince propose a marriage to the Northern Qi Kingdom?"
was asked by Xia Hanxun, how could Bai Mengtan not know what he meant, but for the sake of the future of the prince's brother, isn't it to make a marriage contract with him in advance, Bai Mengtan's smart single phoenix eyes glanced at Xia Yeteng.
Natsuyoto knew what she meant, and he pretended not to know anything.
I thought that this was my dowry anyway, and it had already been given out, so it would be exactly what he wanted to make a marriage contract first.
Bai Mengtan saw that he deliberately threw his words at himself, and he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't sweep His Majesty's Yaxing.
"Returning to His Majesty Yanbei, there is such a thing, but the imperial sister's life is thin, on the way back to Yanbei, there was a fire in the military tent and she was buried in the sea of fire."
Speaking of this, Bai Mengtan can be said to be in tears.
There are many people who feel sorry for Bai Mengsha's death.
Xia Yanlie knew that Bai Mengsha was not dead, but he also wanted to exonerate himself.
got up from the banquet, knelt on the top of the main hall, and blamed himself, "Please also ask your father to forgive the sin, the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom is happy with her son, and His Majesty of the Northern Qi also wants to entrust his daughter to his son." But in the end, Erchen failed to protect the eldest princess for dereliction of duty, and Erchen was guilty. ”
Xia Yanlie looked guilty.
If he could Xia Yeteng, he would like to kick Xia Yanlie away, but he is waiting for his father to marry him.
Instead of coming here to see him cry.
Xia Hanxun frowned, he just asked casually and implicitly, but he didn't expect Xia Yanlie to be unacquainted.
If you put it in your mouth, you can see that it is blocked.
Xia Yanlie was secretly happy in his heart, what he wanted was to destroy the marriage between Xia Yeteng and Bai Mengtan.
Since there is no good result between himself and Bai Mengsha, Xia Yeteng also wants to be with Bai Mengtan.
"Presumably, the eldest princess's spirit in the sky will not blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Standing behind Bai Mengtan all the time, Xiao Tingxuan, who was silent, took the initiative to speak in front of everyone.
For a while, everyone's eyes were cast on the man in front of him with an elegant temperament, a face as white as jade, black eyebrows like a sword, and a noble man.
"Who is this?" Xia Han asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the villain is the cousin of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Xiao Tingxuan arched his hand.
Xia Hanxun just nodded in accommodation, indicating that he knew.
Xiao Tingxuan then said, "Since the eldest princess has fulfilled her wish, Weichen knows that the third princess is happy with His Royal Highness the Night King. The third princess risked her life this time and sent food for the people to Yanbei for the winter, which is enough to prove her sincerity to His Royal Highness the Night King. ”
"I also hope that His Majesty Yanbei can fulfill the deep friendship of the third princess to His Royal Highness the Night King."
Xiao Tingxuan's words are true.
Anyone who listened to it was moved.
