Chapter 440: The Divine Emperor's Birthday Banquet (I)
"Teacher, please taste it, I feel that this will be my pinnacle work."
Miao Junfeng picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of food into his mouth without smiling.
The sweetness and sourness have a faint feeling of mint, and after the crispiness, it is indeed a glutinous and fragrant taste, just like the sea breeze blowing in the face, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
"Yes, let's go, let the chef taste it." Miao Junfeng picked up the plate, and regardless of Huangfu Kai, who was standing there, he hurriedly walked out of the renovated refining room.
"Teacher, you wait for me!" Huangfu Kai trotted "kicking and kicking", chasing Miao Junfeng's back.
The birthday banquet of the Emperor of God is held every year in the imperial palace, once every ten years in the imperial capital, and once every hundred years in the entire imperial court.
This year's birthday banquet of the Emperor was small-scale, so it was only held in the palace. But it was this small-scale birthday banquet that made countless people squeeze their scalps into it.
The smaller the scale, the more honorable the person who is invited. In the past, some unknown people turned around because they participated in this banquet, and they became members of the court or celebrities.
This year's Divine Emperor's birthday banquet is even more so, and many people want to use this banquet to let the Eight Emperors appreciate. The reputation of the eighth prince is very good, and he will be eighteen years old next year, according to the convention, if he achieves excellence in various assessments, he will be crowned king.
In Kunning Palace, Gonggong Wei walked into the palace with a smile and said, "Queen Mother, what a happy event!" The old slave had just received the news that the second prince had rushed back from the Western People's Kingdom to celebrate Banzai's birthday. ”
"Really? The emperor is coming back? Why didn't he tell me in advance? What can I do now? I don't know if the gifts prepared by this palace will satisfy Banzai! ”
"Oh my mother! You can put away the gifts you have prepared! The second prince has let people talk, he has prepared a gift, and he promises to satisfy Banzai. ”
"This kid likes to keep things secret. Sooner or later, I, as a mother, will be frightened by him. ”
"Look at what you said, the old slave thinks it's good. It shows that the second prince has a strategy and a means. Those self-righteous princes will definitely not be the opponents of the second prince. ”
"Just you can talk. I don't care about the fourth prince and the eighth prince, but I don't know how the prince's preparations are? ”
"Hehehe, this is the second thing the old slave wants to tell you. According to the spies we sent out, the prince has not even refined a decent talisman until now, and for this reason, the prince was furious and reprimanded him severely. ”
"Hey! This kid, with the guidance of a refining master, he can't refine a talisman, it's really a pity! If the emperor is here, maybe he can refine two pieces! ”
"That's what the mother said. The old slave will go down first to prepare, and tomorrow he will make the second prince beautiful, and cover all the limelight of the rest of the princes! ”
"Well, you go down! I also think about whether the gift should be more expensive. ”
In Kunyi Palace, Concubine Yi sat on a chair and said to Huangfu Hao with a smile: "Hao'er, you are finally back." I'm afraid that something will happen to you on the way, and you won't be able to come back. ”
"Mother, look at what you said. Is your son that useless? With this treasure, this father's birthday banquet will definitely make my mother and I superior. ”
"It's good that you have that faith. It's just that I heard that the crown prince is also working hard, and the eighth prince has prepared two rare treasures! ”
"Mother, the quantity is meaningless, only the quality is fundamental. You can rest assured! The gift prepared by the emperor, let alone the father, even the emperor's grandfather will be thrilled when he sees it. ”
"It's not like you! You were very low-key in the past, why are you so high-profile this time? ”
"Mother, I don't want to be high-profile! It's just that there is not much time left for us, and I don't think my father will give us enough time anymore. Next year, the eighth brother will become an adult, maybe next year will be the day when everyone will be crowned king, or it may be the day when the crown prince will be determined. ”
"Hey! As long as you do your best, my mother doesn't expect you to be the prince, she just hopes that you can live a peaceful and happy life. ”
In Kunli Palace, Huang Fu Ming and Huang Fu Zhu were surrounded by Concubine Qian, and the three of them stared at the two strange objects on the table with interest.
"Ming'er, is what you said true? If these two strange things are together, can they become another even more magical strange thing? ”
"Of course, this is what the emperor's disciples have collected for a long time and spent a lot of money to buy it from outside. If it weren't for the fact that this birthday banquet was particularly important, the emperor would be reluctant to take it out! ”
"You kid, you can't bear to give a gift to your father, even you are your father's."
"Mother, it's different. I am the flesh that fell from you, not the flesh that fell from my father. In my eyes he is my father, but in my father's eyes I am only one of his many children. ”
"Shhhh Make a small noise, and you won't be afraid of being listened to by someone who cares. ”
"Humph! Listen to it, I heard it, I said the truth, and I didn't slander my father. It's useless like the crown prince, my father can tolerate it until now, and for me, my father should be more tolerant. ”
"Mother, my brother is right. I'm rooting for him! ”
"You girl! I've been with him for a long time, and I've learned badly! You should support what is right, and point out what is wrong and help him to correct it. In the future, your brother will be crowned king, and once he is crowned king, his words and deeds cannot be so arbitrary. ”
"Mother, why can my brother only be a prince? I think my brother can be a prince, and he can even more so in the future..."
"Shut up! Is that what you can say? With an angry face, Concubine Qian stopped what Huang Fuzhu was going to say next.
Seeing that his sister was about to cry, Huang Fuming hurriedly said: "Mother, my sister is a child, she is unintentional. If she is there, she will only talk about it in front of you, and she still respects the prince very much outside. ”
"Hey! I know that your brother and sister have a good relationship, and you don't have to cover for your sister. Once you enter the red gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the mother is precious to the son. Of course, my mother wants you to be the crown prince, but that's just thinking about it.
As a mother, my greatest wish is to hope that the two of you can grow up happily, safely and healthily, and live happily in the long years. ”
"Mother, I was wrong. I will definitely change it in the future. Huangfu Zhu was moved by Concubine Qian's words.
Huang Fuming's heart was also a little touched, but as a man and an ambitious man, it would be better to have less feelings.
In the Imperial Garden, Huang Fulin and Rong Zhaoyi walked among the flowers, admiring the clusters of flowers.
"Mother, don't we really have some good gifts?"
"Silly girl, gifts are secondary, but the heart is the most important. We have enough gifts to prepare, and then we just need to stand firmly on the side of the prince. ”
"Oh! Although I didn't understand, I still listened to my mother. ”
