Chapter Seventy-Six: Breakfast

Seeing his unproductive appearance, the Initial Emperor became more and more angry and said, "You still have the face to cry?!" ā€

Seeing that the initial emperor was angry, Empress Xiahou hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty is angry, since Xuan'er said that it is not made up, it must be a poem from somewhere, let's not wronged him." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Humph!" The Initial Emperor snorted coldly and said, "How can there be such a crooked poem that doesn't make sense?!" Saying that, he glanced at Huangfu Xuan coldly and said, "You should read the whole poem out and listen to it!" ā€

"Erchen......" Huangfu Xuan bit his lower lip and said, "I can't remember it for a while." ā€

"Dare to quibble!" The first emperor became more and more annoyed and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember, the widow will give you a night to remember, and if you can't remember it tomorrow morning, you don't have to eat the penalty wine, just wait to eat the board!" ā€

"The retainers obey."

After such a fuss, the banquet broke up unhappily, and Huangfu Xuan left the inner palace with a disgraced face, and he knew that he could only pass this level by making a poem that suited the occasion overnight. But just like the emperor said, how can the catkins be red, he just wants to be round and won't come!

That's why he didn't want to go back to Yaoguang Hall in a hurry, so he retreated left and right, wandering aimlessly in the outer palace until he 'bumped' into Lu Yun......

怂

Huang Fu Xuan was very suspicious that his embarrassing situation yesterday was made up by these brothers, and the culprit was this good old man Huang Fu Zhen!

But at this moment, he is confident, so he won't talk to him more. When they arrived at the door of the front hall, the four brothers hurriedly cleaned up their appearances and stepped into the hall silently. At this moment, it is early in the morning, the whole court hall is immersed in the breeze, the plantain in front of the hall is slowly rolling in the thick shade, the palace people see the four highnesses come to say goodbye, they salute them silently, and then take the four people through the corridor in front of the hall, into the waterfront hall on the left.

The scenery here is the most beautiful, and cool and pleasant, it is the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall where the original emperor lived.

At this time, the emperor should have just gotten up, and the eunuchs and palace ladies were all nervously busy, either opening the curtains, delivering toiletries, or sorting out clothes and utensils, or bringing tea to ...... Although busy, everything is orderly and silent.

The four brothers waited in front of the palace, and after a while, some ministers came out of the palace to spread the word, saying that the Son of Heaven had summoned them.

The four of them walked in lightly, and saw that the first emperor was wearing a wide robe, his hair was tied in a bun at random, and he was leisurely thinking about the endgame. During the summer palace, there is no morning court, and the minister will try to report it later if he has something, so that the initial emperor can get up a little later than usual, and he doesn't have to face those annoying state affairs immediately after getting up, but do something he likes to do.

It is well known that the Son of Heaven likes to play chess......

The four princes came in, and after respectfully greeting the emperor, the first emperor dropped the chess pieces in his hand, let them get up, and said with a smile: "It's later, I won't wait for you to have breakfast." ā€

Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, the emperor hurriedly stepped forward and supported the initial emperor and said, "Don't you want your father to sleep a little longer?" ā€

"How many years have I had to go to the early court, and I have long been unaccustomed to getting up late." The Initial Emperor sighed with a smile.

"My father is really hard, and my sons and daughters can't share their worries for their father." The emperor hurriedly said softly.

"Everyone is no longer young, and it is true that you can't just read the books of sages, but also learn to help the widows take care of the government." The Initial Emperor nodded, and said casually.

The eyes of several princes lit up, and the deer in their hearts collided.

At this time, the palace people moved the cloth in the water pavilion next to the palace and stopped and prepared breakfast for the emperor's family.

Empress Xiahou also came in from behind, although she was nearly forty years old, she was still beautiful and colorful, especially the style of the year. The four brothers hurriedly saluted Empress Xiahou. Huangfu Xuan saw that the queen also stayed in this smoke and wave to cool the hall last night, and he couldn't help but feel irritable.

After the palace people sat down after serving the emperor, the first emperor waved his hand to his sons and said, "You can sit too." ā€

Huang Fuxuan and the others thanked their father and sat down separately according to the year's teeth.

Although the founding of the country, Emperor Gaozu advocated a period of frugality, but the world has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and the wealthy family has a tendency to relapse into the old ways, and the children of the sergeant clan in Luojing City are constantly hearing about the wealth and showing off their wealth.

As the Ninety-Five, the original emperor naturally did not fall behind, and a breakfast was worth 10,000 yuan. In the center of the water pavilion, two long dining tables covered with yellow brocade are full of exquisite gold and silver dishes, plates and pots, with a total of more than 200 pieces, including 36 vegetarian dishes, 36 meat dishes, 36 candied noodles, 36 dried and fresh fruits, and 24 soups...... There are all kinds of flowers decorated with it, which are beautiful and dazzling, and ordinary people can see enough just to see it.

The first emperor and his family of six sat in front of six food tables, and the food tables of the emperor and his wife faced north to south, set up on the three-inch gold platform, and were neatly placed with gold spoons, gold spoons, gold forks, gold inlaid tooth chopsticks, gold plates and gold bowls, and several pieces of gold inlaid table cloths. The palace people have already poured appetizers for the emperor and queen in the golden cup inlaid with jade.

In the emperor's cup is the wine offered by the Western Regions, and the queen drinks a drink made by squeezing the juice of papaya from the Lingnan Dynasty and mixing it with milk.

The emperor sipped her wine and looked at the dining table in front of her. The palace people who served looked intently at the emperor and queen, and when their eyes stopped at a certain dish, they picked out a portion from the container of that dish and served it to the emperor and queen.

The initial emperor's diet was not large, and his diet was light, so he asked for a fragrant rice porridge, a few vegetarian dishes, a little roast meat, and a few pith cakes, and ate them slowly and methodically. Queen Xiahou only ate a little bit, ordered bird's nest and a little bamboo shoots mixed with mushrooms, and forced herself to withdraw her gaze.

The first emperor said with a smile: "The queen can eat more if she wants to." ā€

Empress Xiahou took a sip of papaya juice and smiled bitterly at the first emperor: "At this age, concubines have to control their diet so that they don't become too fat. ā€

The first emperor glanced at Empress Xiahou's slender waist and said with a smile: "The queen's figure is even better than those seventeen or eighteen concubines." ā€

Empress Xiahou blushed when she landed, and said with a charming white glance: "Your Majesty, there are still children here." ā€

The four princes sat at the bottom of the table, the tableware in front of the table was all made of silver, and the palace people also poured drinks for the four highnesses. After the emperor finished ordering, the palace people began to serve them food.

"We didn't hear anything, the queen mother just let us not exist." Huang Fu Shi grinned.

Huangfu Zhen and Huangfu also covered their mouths and snickered, which made Queen Xiahou's face burn, and instructed the palace people of Bucai: "Serve them more food and plug the mouths of these monkeys." As he spoke, he glanced at Huangfu Xuan and said, "Xuan'er also eats more, you see your third brother and fourth brother, eating meat is like a hungry wolf, how can you only eat so little." ā€

Huang Fuxuan nodded, responded vaguely, and ate it with the same taste as chewing wax, and his stomach was sick for a while. Whenever he saw that the family was in harmony, he had no appetite at all.

When the emperor's family began to eat, the musicians on the side played soothing music, one was to entertain them, and the other was to cover up the sound of the royal people eating.

Huang Fu Shi was full of fat chickens, roast ducks, lamb tripes, steamed deer and other big meat things, the number was several times more than others, he devoured for a while, then he felt not so hungry, picked up the white silk scarf on the table to wipe his greasy lips, and took a sip of milk from the silver cup, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Huang Fuxuan and said: "By the way, big brother, do you remember that poem?" ā€

Huangfu was bowing his head to eat, and when he heard this, he also raised his head, looked at Huangfu Xuan with a smile and said, "Seeing that the eldest brother is confident, he must have remembered it." ā€

Everyone's eyes moved to the eldest prince, but Huangfuxuan was unmoved, grabbed a chopsticks and chicken shreds, and sent them to his mouth to taste slowly, without the intention of answering.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Huangfu Xuan cast an inquiring gaze to the Initial Emperor.

At first, the emperor didn't want to mention this matter again, but he didn't expect his two sons to hold on to it, he wanted to make Huangfu Xuan soften, and then expose this matter and forget it.

Who knew that this eldest son was becoming more and more unsuccessful, and he was about to be exposed, but he was still standing up here. The Initial Emperor was most disgusted with his rigid posture, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you hear the questions of the two younger brothers? ā€
