Chapter 331 Birthday Banquet (II)

Song Jinghe on the side frowned quietly, when did Song Zhancheng get this good thing, why didn't he hear the slightest rumor?

Thinking of this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Song Jinghe's eyes, this Song Zhancheng's secrecy measures are really well done, people get such items without knowing it, it seems that this birthday banquet ......

Song Zhancheng smiled lightly on the side, then stepped forward and held up the agarwood pillow with his hand and said slowly: "Erchen has only obtained this thing in recent days, and I know that agarwood has not been seen in the country since the first emperor, so it is really precious. ”

"Second, father, you see, engraved with delicate fine lines of unicorn beasts, plants, shrubs, flowers, birds, fish and insects, this unicorn beast is known to represent the highest status, is a rare beast, and the surrounding grass, trees, shrubs, flowers, birds, fish, and insects imply the rivers and mountains, but it can also be implied that the father is the only owner of the rivers, mountains and rivers, leading all this."

Song Zhancheng said such a big call without blinking, others don't know if he doesn't know, these patterns engraved on it may really have their special meanings, but they are definitely not what he said. However, since he can do this, of course, he can't be soft, after all, anyone who listens to his call feels that it is the truth.

He coughed lightly, looked at the emperor with a smile and continued: "Third, it must be the 'pillow' in this agarwood pillow, we all know that the precious scarcity of this agarwood is that its wood has the effect of relieving pain, warming and stopping vomiting. ”

"As for why it was made into a wooden sleeper and given away, this is also the most important point."

Song Zhancheng bowed slightly in the direction of the emperor and bowed his hand and said: "Erchen heard that his father was immersed in the review and performance of major events of the family and country for many days, and the cervical spine was strained and painful, and Erchen made a wooden pillow style in the hope of helping his father reduce some pain, and Erchen also knew that this method may not work, but Erchen was stupid and could only think about it. ”

"Haha, Zhan Cheng has a heart, whether this thing is effective or not, but it is indeed extremely precious, I see that these birthday gifts belong to you the most!"

The emperor praised and looked at Song Zhancheng suspiciously: "By the way, since agarwood is so scarce and precious in the Wing Country, where did you come from such a large piece to dedicate to me?" ”

Song Zhancheng straightened up and replied: "In recent days, there has been a caravan from the Western Regions passing through the Wing Country, and Erchen accidentally came across them by chance and found that they had this large piece of agarwood, so they negotiated with them to exchange it for some equivalent things. ”

As for whether it is agarwood or agarwood pillow, it depends on his mood, the former can also be named with a heart, he is not stupid, and he knows how to tell which of them is more beneficial to him.

"I see." The emperor sighed, then reached out and patted Song Zhancheng on the shoulder, and his face showed a little pleasure.

Everyone on the side had their own thoughts, of course, most of them praised and praised the uniqueness of this agarwood pillow and Song Zhancheng, only a few had other unhappy thoughts, and among these people, Song Zhancheng knew that it was the prince Song Jinghe who was the most unhappy.

He only suppressed their princelings in the court a few days ago, and today he is in such a limelight, it is strange that he can be in a good mood, according to his temperament, he must be racking his brains to think about how to move back to this situation and save face.

Song Zhancheng didn't care what he thought, he was happy to see him like this.

Indeed, at this time, Song Jinghe stared gloomily at the agarwood pillow, it was really good, he didn't know what a large group of caravans from the Western Regions were doing, what were those wastes, were they all blind?!

It was really terrible to watch Song Zhancheng earn a lot of favor by his father's side, he couldn't wait to leave now, but this is impossible, this birthday banquet has just begun, he is still a little sensible, if he leaves now, he is afraid that the consequences are not something he can bear.

The commentator next to him saw this phenomenon and had to continue just now: "The Book of Rites, a piece of agate jade - a hundred horses of high-grade silk products-"

………………

About a quarter of an hour later, the entire Jinpeng birthday gift was halfway through, and the emperor also took a fancy to a few precious and interesting items and rewarded them, after all, the birthday banquet was not the preciousness of the birthday gift, but the heart.

If it is the preciousness of the birthday gift, then what is not in the treasury of the palace, and what else is needed to pay tribute? Of course, it is those items that cherish the precious and scarce that can enter the emperor's eyes, such as Song Zhancheng.

The emperor in the back didn't listen to it, so he asked all the eunuchs to count it again, and then put it in the gift library, and the people on the list also rewarded them one by one to show their praise.

After the ministers have finished their birthday gifts, it is time for the emperor to feast the ministers, according to the traditional rules of the Wing Kingdom.

In the previous stage, those were also appetizing feasts, and the real feasts were in the back, which is such a majestic and prosperous scene at this moment.

With the high-spirited voice of the chef beside him, "The hour is coming, serve the dishes-", a team of pink-clothed palace maids with various dishes came out from all over the imperial garden.

I have to say that the original builder of this imperial garden is really smart, and I am afraid that he also expected all kinds of inconveniences about banquets and other large scenes, so a number of corridors have been built in all directions of this imperial garden to allow a total of many people to enter and exit, if not, the banquet and other nearly 100 dishes do not know when.

According to historical records, the dishes held by the birthday banquets of the emperors of various generations have specifications, but there are many old customs in the Wing Country that are no longer used, but this Wing Huang is a person who recites the rites, and it can be seen from the ceremonies such as the Fang Cai, so this banquet meal has been used to this day.

Twenty hot dishes, twenty cold dishes, four soup dishes, four side dishes, four fresh fruits, twenty-eight melons and fruits, candied fruits, and twenty-nine pasta dishes such as dim sum, cakes and cakes, totaling one hundred and nine products.

The dishes are mainly chicken, duck, goose, pig, deer, sheep, pheasant, and wild boar, supplemented by fungus, bird's nest, mushrooms, mushrooms, etc.

This kind of feast can only be seen by the emperor's birthday banquet, Song Zhancheng looked at such a vast project, and couldn't help but faintly look forward to it, the imperial dining room of the palace should be one of the best in the whole wing country, its taste and aroma must not be said to know its deliciousness, he is not a gluttonous person, but he also wants to taste it.

Moreover, a smile appeared at the corner of Song Zhancheng's mouth, and there would be a medicinal meal in the back, which was his final real purpose.
