By the end of the day, the meal had been served, and they had also walked from the Jinpeng to the royal seat just now.

The ministers on both sides saw that the emperor had already sat down, and from time to time three or two whispered to each other, all of them said that the banquet dishes were prosperous and rich, which made him coveted.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and first moved the jade chopsticks to clip a nearby hot dish, braised lion's head.

The ministers of the garden all looked at the emperor's expression quietly, in case the dishes could not enter the emperor's mouth, then their mouths today would probably come to an end.

"Hmm...... This dish is good, and the dishes made in the imperial dining room today are also delicious, which is better than what I have eaten before. Zhong Aiqing don't have to worry about me, just enjoy this taste feast. ”

As soon as the emperor's voice landed, it began to multiply, and there was no pressure from before, and the three or two ministers gradually began to talk in small circles.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor can't use them to participate, and none of the princes, princesses, concubines, queens and others on the side can not chat with the emperor, and where can they get their turn, they are just like what the emperor said, just enjoy this feast of taste.

But speaking of which, the taste and style of this dish are really good, and it is often enough to let the chefs in his own house try to make it, which is also the mind of a few ministers......

And here, Song Zhancheng also tasted the cold dish in front of him, opened his lips and the tip of his tongue rolled it to the taste buds, the fresh and tender chicken breast was soft but not loose, and the different flavors everywhere filled the entire mouth, and it seemed to melt in the mouth and swallow it with a slight sip, which was a good product, Song Zhancheng thought.

After tasting a bite, Song Zhancheng put down his chopsticks, because he suddenly thought of Cheng Jingyun, how good it would be if she was here, these meals would definitely be able to conquer her taste buds, and there was also the osmanthus cake she loved.

It also happened that he had just thought of her, and the medicinal food he had ordered to cook had arrived, and he watched the palace maid not far in front of him bring the medicinal food in its final form, and put it on the emperor's banquet table.

The emperor looked at the medicinal food in front of him with some surprise, I don't know why, just now he was still talking and laughing with his queen, but after a while, a soup appeared on the banquet table, and it looked different from other soups, who did it?

As soon as the emperor thought about this, he saw Song Zhancheng, the prince of Jin on the side, get up and stand aside and bowed: "Father, this is a medicinal meal specially prepared by the sons for the emperor, called 'Huangtian Chicken Soup', which has the ability to relieve low back pain and soft bones. ”

Immediately realized, the emperor smiled, "How can I blame you, Zhan Cheng has such thoughts and I am too late to be happy." Then he picked up the jade spoon on the side, slid it on it a few times, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm...... Not bad, the taste is very good, and there is no medicinal taste, the rich soup aroma of the field chicken is covered by it, and there is a trace of sweetness in the end, it is really good! ”

Song Zhancheng smiled and thanked him, "Father thinks that this medicinal diet is good, and it can make my father's body healthy all the time, and the sons and daughters are naturally overjoyed." ”

Song Zhancheng sat down and looked at the queen on the side, he couldn't help but be a little curious, because the atmosphere between the two of them was good just now, he immediately asked His Majesty the Emperor on the side, "Father, how did you and the queen mother?" The son only heard that the queen mother had not appeared in the harem before, and then I heard that you had set up the current queen mother, and the details in the middle were incomprehensible to everyone. ”

After asking, Song Zhancheng felt that this remark was a little offended, what could he discuss between the emperor and the empress.

But the emperor may be in a very happy mood at this birthday banquet, he looked at the queen on the side with a little helpless and doting smile in his eyes, at this time the queen also turned her head to look at it, and her eyes looked at each other with a little playfulness that can only be found in front of the emperor.

Song Zhancheng looked envious, there were still two countries between him and Cheng Jingyun.

The emperor cleared his cough and said slowly: "This is not a special secret, if you want to hear it, I will tell you." ”

"I had a beloved woman when I was a teenager, but I was the crown prince and had to inherit the throne, so I only suppressed the throbbing of her heart at that time and chose to seek power in the palace."

"She was only eight years old at the time, and I thought she was so young at that time, so I wanted to marry her as the crown princess, and I just thought that it would be okay to wait a few more years."

"It's a pity that I waited for a few years, and the Jin Kingdom next to me came to attack, and it was about to enter Kyoto at that time, and it was my father and the general who swore to the death to resist the enemy to defend the country. It is also the heavens that favor our wing country, and our allies and eastern kingdoms are rescued in time, so that we can help us retreat from foreign enemies. ”

"At that time, my father was shocked to realize that the military defense should be strengthened, and only then did he have the prosperous Wing Kingdom that he has now."

"And when everything calmed down, I found that she was gone."

"At that time, I was in a hurry, looking for her everywhere, and then I got the news that she had died in the war."

"After I heard about it, I searched for a few years in disbelief, and I didn't find any news about her before I really believed that she was really dead, how heartbroken I was at that time, and I even had an idea to accompany her, but reality didn't allow me to do this, my country still needs me."

"Just a few years later, your ancestor died of illness, I inherited the throne and began to work hard to govern the country, during which I also had your mother, and I also loved her deeply, but unfortunately she was born at the wrong time, she left too early."

"But who would have thought that a few years ago, when I went out to inspect the people, I happened to meet a person similar to her, and I caught up with her and found that it was her!"

"I heard her say that she was indeed involved in the war at that time, but she did not die, but was rescued by an old man, and since then she has been living in the mountains and forests for ten years, and today she occasionally comes out to replenish supplies."

"Zhan Cheng, you also think this is the red line in the heavens, right, after so many years, I can still find her again, she also said that she firmly believes that I will not forget her, so she has never married, even if she is lonely all her life."

"I decided to bring her back to the palace at that time, this is the most sloppy decision, and it is also the most sensible and prudent decision, because this decision represents my promise."

After the emperor finished speaking, he held the empress's hand tightly, and his love was indescribable.

Song Zhancheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father and the queen to have such an experience, no wonder no one knew, it was interrupted for a few years, and many old ministers had also withdrawn from the court, who would have thought of this.

Song Zhancheng couldn't help but think of him and Cheng Jingyun, and immediately understood, they had been separated for a few months, they had been thinking like this, not to mention their father and emperor who had been separated for several years, it was really torturous.
