Chapter 870: Imperial Meal

After Zhang Juzheng received the oracle from Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Ping'an also received an edict from Xiaohuangmen.

"Holy Food?"

After Zhu Ping'an received the commandment, he was very surprised, what day is today, why is Emperor Jiajing giving a banquet today.

When he heard Xiao Huangmen say that Yang Guoliang and Zhang Juzheng were given a banquet together, Zhu Ping'an understood why Emperor Jiajing gave the banquet.

Because of the preaching.

He and Yang Guoliang were in charge of lecturing yesterday, while Zhang Juzheng was preaching this afternoon.

This afternoon, during the interval between Zhang Juzheng's lectures, Zhu Ping'an and Li Chunfang also went over to have a photo with Zhang Juzheng, after all, they were all colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, and he and Li Chunfang were in Xiyuan again, so they had to go over to stand up.

Emperor Jiajing gave a banquet to the lecturer of the prince's lecture, which is in the past. In this regard, Emperor Jiajing is very similar to modern parents of students, invite the child's teacher to have a meal, chat and express gratitude, please bother more.

It seems that all parents in the world are the same.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the evening, the sun was setting, in the midst of the golden, under the envious gaze of Yuan Wei and others, Zhu Ping'an went to the Zhishan Palace with the little eunuch for a banquet.

Zhishan Palace is located in the direction close to the concubine's bedroom, and along the way, I met many palace maids who were brightly dressed and had beautiful appearances.

Don't look at indecent acts.

The advantage in the harem can't be taken advantage of, today is the palace maid, maybe tomorrow she will become the harem hostess, how can you see it. You must know that Emperor Jiajing can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes.

Life is precious, and disrespectful should not be ignored.

Zhu Ping'an reminded himself that he didn't squint all the way, only looked at the road under his feet, and followed the little eunuch to the Zhishan Palace.

Zhu Ping'an's caution is justified.

In fact, in the place where Zhu Ping'an couldn't see, there were many eyes hidden, and Zhu Ping'an's every word and deed and every move were recorded in the book, and soon these books that recorded Zhu Ping'an's words and deeds were sent to several cases of Emperor Jiajing.

Including Yang Guoliang and Zhang Juzheng, who came to Zhishan Palace on the other two roads, they were also treated the same way.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhu Ping'an saw the Zhishan Palace close at hand.

Zhishan Palace is surrounded by a pool of water, duckweed green lotus naturally grows in the pond water, green and clear, there are clusters of flowers and plants on the shore, the wind shakes the flowers, thousands of flowers press the branches low, the petals fall on the ground like a carpet of flowers, it is very good-looking.

Different from the golden glazed tiles in the palace, the dome of the Zhishan Palace is a red glazed tile, which becomes more and more red in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Lord Zhu, please come here." The little eunuch led Zhu Ping'an through the main hall and came to a room.

The room was spacious and tastefully furnished, except for a short table with a futon cushion behind it.

"Lord Zhu, please take a seat." The little eunuch put the cushion in the middle of the back of several cases and invited Zhu Ping'an to sit down.

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Zhu Ping'an thanked him, and then knelt down and sat down, to be honest, Zhu Ping'an is used to sitting on chairs and stools, and he doesn't like to kneel and sit in this posture, it's okay to sit for a while, and if you sit for a long time, this leg numbness, numbness, numbness, and buttocks will appear.

Judging from this layout, there is only one person in this room, and it seems that Zhang Juzheng and Yang Guoliang are the same, alone in another room.

Zhu Ping'an is common in the banquet of the meal sharing system, but Zhu Ping'an has heard of such a banquet of the meal sharing system.

However, the entire Ming Dynasty is the largest Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing can give a banquet as much as he wants.

I'll be responsible for eating it myself.

After Zhu Ping'an entered the table, before his buttocks were hot, he heard a sound of footsteps, and then saw Huang Jin walking in accompanied by several eunuchs.

"I've seen Huang Gong."

Zhu Ping'an left the table and got up, and waved his hand to Huang Jin.

"Lord Xiao Zhu doesn't need to be polite, you are all distinguished guests in the palace today, please come to the table." Huang Jin stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to support Zhu Ping'an.

After Zhu Ping'an sat down, Huang Jin said again, "Today, I will not dine with Lord Xiao Zhu." The saint said that you have made meritorious contributions to the scriptures, and you have already explained to the old slave, and you must entertain Lord Xiaozhu well, and you must be allowed to eat and drink well. Hehe, the Holy One also said that you can eat more easily this way. ”

Bigu?!

Well, Emperor Jiajing's cultivation is really serious enough. Zhu Ping'an had only seen scenes such as Bigu in modern Xianxia before, but he didn't expect to meet people from Bigu in reality.

Actually, there is one thing that Emperor Jiajing said is very right, if Emperor Jiajing does not come, this meal will definitely be easier. After all, a companion is like a tiger, eating next to a tiger, no matter how bold you are, no matter how good your appetite is, there will be pressure.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhu Ping'an was at the table, bowing in the direction of Emperor Jiajing's bedroom, and then thanked Huang Jin, "Thank you Huang Gong." ”

"Hehe, Lord Xiao Zhu is polite, let's pass the meal."

Huang Jin smiled slightly, and then nodded to the little eunuch who accompanied him.

"Yes."

The little eunuch nodded in response, turned around and walked to the door, sent a message to the waiter outside, and began to pass the meal.

"Master Xiao Zhu, the miscellaneous family went to meet with Lord Zhang and Lord Yang. If you need anything on your side, just tell them directly. After giving the order, Huang Jin smiled and said goodbye to Zhu Ping'an.

"Huang Gong walks slowly." Zhu Ping'an returned the salute.

After Huang Jin left, the chamberlain brought in the imperial food one after another, and put them on several cases in front of Zhu Ping'an.

There is an endless stream of dishes served by the waiters.

Hot dishes, cold dishes, soups, snacks...... Soon, the table in front of Zhu Ping'an was filled.

In particular, there is a large plate of hand-grasped mutton in the middle of the table, exuding the meat aroma that reaches the tip of the tongue, when placed on the table, the lamb rib meat is still trembling gently, the meat is red and white, fat but not fat, the color is attractive, and a wisp of meat fragrance slowly drifts out along the crispy and tender mutton......

There is also a plate of dipping sauce next to the finger lamb.

This dish attracted Zhu Ping'an's attention as soon as it came up.

It seems to go back to the days when I went to school and traveled to Ningxia with my roommates, the three of them got lost and rode for a day, and finally arrived at a small town, the entrance of the town is a hand-grabbed mutton stall on the street, the primitive feeling of eating mutton with my hands for the first time, the more I eat, the more greedy the taste, it is really an unforgettable memory.

"Lord Zhu, please use it slowly."

A table of imperial meals was quickly served, and the little eunuch stood aside and invited Zhu Ping'an to eat.

This table of imperial food, full of color and flavor, more than 20 dishes, can be described as extremely rich, but I don't know if the little eunuch forgot or what, this table of extremely rich imperial food, but only chopsticks are missing......

Coincidentally, Zhang Juzheng's table, which was also extremely rich, happened to be missing chopsticks.

"There is labor."

Zhu Ping'an, who was attracted by the hand-grabbed mutton, heard the three words please use slowly, so he said that he was tired, and couldn't wait to reach out and grab the bone of a lamb rib, skillfully dip it in the sauce, and feasted on it.

Grasping mutton by hand, eating it with your hands is the most authentic, anyway, Emperor Jiajing is not here, why pay so much attention to it.

Didn't notice at all that there were no chopsticks on the table.
