It is known as the 70th birthday, and the Queen Mother's 70th birthday is really an old birthday star.

I heard that the Queen Mother was not favored when she was a concubine, she was an old man in the first emperor's mansion, and she had been keeping to herself with a soft personality, silently doing the flower interpretation language around the emperor.

The first emperor's heirs are thin, and there have been four princes, the eldest prince and the third prince unfortunately died at an early age, and the second prince grew up to adulthood, but he was disabled and was a deaf and dumb person.

The first emperor has always been very sad about the matter of his heirs, but fortunately his body has always been healthy, and he originally wanted to succeed a royal family disciple as the heir to cultivate, but he did not expect that at the age of fifty, God favored the forty-year-old Empress Dowager Niangniang suddenly became pregnant.

This is a very rare thing, after all, the first emperor and the queen mother are not young, and the first emperor has even become a grandfather.

The Queen Mother is pregnant with Nangong Mo.

After living for so long, the Queen Mother is already a veritable old lucky star and old birthday star, I don't know how many birthdays I can have in the future, my Queen Mother loves pomp and face, in order to meet the Queen Mother, the emperor Nangong Mo is ready to hold this birthday, the whole country celebrates, amnesty the world, and the Quartet comes to congratulate.

Therefore, this birthday banquet can be described as extraordinary, not only must it be exquisite and delicious, but it is also necessary to go up this amount, Su Su returned to the imperial dining room a month in advance to prepare.

Of course, the most important dishes to prepare are the dishes mentioned by the Queen Mother: assorted kudzu rice, spiced mutton, eggplant dried donkey meat, assorted crispy plates, and soft-fried tenderloin.

These dishes are the dishes that the Queen Mother specially asked about what she wanted to eat at the banquet, and Su Su personally took charge of the whole process without letting anyone touch it.

She taught other dishes at the banquet to other imperial chefs, mainly supervised by her master Xu Imperial Chef.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, the princes and nobles, famous ministers, and noble ladies and their families have entered the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and the whole country celebrates and is very lively.

The birthday is divided into a luncheon and a dinner party, and the emperor and queen mother and the princes and ministers held a luncheon in the Taiji Palace to accept the congratulations of the courtiers.

The dinner is also a family banquet, which is held in the Qianqing Palace.

On the banquet, the emperor sat directly above the golden dragon banquet table, and next to him sat today's old birthday star Queen Mother.

The three tables on the left are the seats of the queen, the concubine and the concubine, and the three tables on the right are the seats of the imperial concubine, the concubine, the nobleman and the ever-present seat, and the seats of the princess, princess, nobleman and wife are interspersed according to the status of the princess.

On the birthday of the Queen Mother, Song Xiwen, the queen mother who has never been out of the palace, finally showed up to participate, but all the matters of the banquet were still arranged by Concubine Shugui, and the queen still had no real power.

Under the accompaniment of Zhonghe Shao music, the emperor and the queen mother entered the banquet, and the palace concubines and nobles also entered the banquet one after another.

Then the banquet opened, the drinks and dishes were served one after another, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, such as the East China Sea and the longevity of Nanshan.

After toasting together, the song and dance performance came on, and the palace concubines, princesses, and nobles began to offer congratulatory gifts and greetings.

The queen mother gave the queen mother a jade Buddha of dozens of catties, this thing is not brilliant, no fault and no mistake, the queen mother smiled and nodded.

Shu Guifei sent more attentively in line with the queen mother's mind, she personally embroidered a hundred large and small blessing words with gold and silver thread, the embroidery is excellent, I heard that it took three months to embroider day and night.

Although the value of the gift is not precious, but in terms of the degree of care, the concubine is better than the queen.

The Queen Mother smiled happily and nodded her head in her hand.

The other concubine gifts have not yet been offered, but today's top prize is estimated to have been taken by Concubine Shugui.

The concubines and nobles offered congratulatory gifts and greetings in turn.

There are those who give all kinds of Buddhist beads and Buddhist paintings and antiques, and there are also those who offer songs and dance performances.

The main reason for the song and dance performance is to show the emperor on the queen mother's birthday, but it is estimated that it is in vain, no matter how passionate the emperor is, he will not be lucky to play such a scheming palace concubine in the queen mother's birthday mountain.

According to the status and position, Su Su is a concubine, and it will soon be her turn.

The Queen Mother took a fancy to her cooking skills and liked to eat her cooking.

Su Su didn't prepare any other gifts, so he specially invented a dish to offer to the Queen Mother.

Su Su walked slowly to the center of the hall with a dignified posture, and bowed down to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, "Concubine Su congratulates the Queen Mother on her happy birthday, her longevity is higher than the sky and the blessing is deeper than the sea, and the sun and moon are bright and the spring and autumn are not old!" ”

"Good, good! Get up! "Today, the Queen Mother is happy, she is smiling and kind all day long, and her attitude is much softer than when she saw Su Su that day.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand to Su Su, and then said with a smile on her face, "Concubine Shu is worthy of being the first person in the harem to be praised by the emperor!" The dishes are very much in line with the appetite of the mourning family, especially the assorted crispy plates and soft fried tenderloin are delicious, this birthday banquet is hard for you, and the mourning family is very satisfied. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, this is what the concubine should do, the concubine specially invented a dish for the Queen Mother today, as a birthday gift to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."

"Oh! Is it? The mourning family is looking forward to it. ”

Su Su clapped his hands, and after a while, two eunuchs came carrying a huge tray.

The contents of the tray were covered so that everyone could not see what it was.

A table had been set up in the center of the main hall, and the eunuch slowly put the tray down and went down.

"Sister Shu will buy Guanzi, such a big tray concubine is very curious about what kind of dish it is!" Concubine Shu smiled and spoke softly.

"Xiaoxiao is not only a superb cook, but also often has whimsical ideas in dishes, and the queen mother is blessed this time." Before the dishes were on display, Nangong Mo trusted Su Su so much and helped her say good things in front of the Queen Mother, and secretly winked at Su Shu and smiled after speaking.

Su Su didn't dare to cooperate with his small actions in public, and kept a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end.

Concubine Shu's smile froze, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes, "That's right!" ”

And Queen Song Xiwen, who has been sitting in obscurity on the side, looked at Nangong Mo's small movements, as well as the smile that had bloomed for her countless times, there was no wave in her heart, and even a faint smile appeared on her face, and she took a sip of the fruit wine in her hand.

"Okay, don't sell it, open it and show it to the mourning family." The Queen Mother was also quite curious, and couldn't help but speak.

Su Su bent down and said, walked to the huge tray, raised the slender white jade hand and put it on the cap, "Queen Mother, please look!" ”

After saying that, he lifted the lid.

The moment the lid was lifted, the golden light on the main hall suddenly shone, and a huge golden phoenix with wings ready to fly was entrenched in the jade plate, surrounded by all kinds of birds with low postures.

The phoenix is lifelike, and the carving is exquisite, as if there is really a phoenix standing proudly on the top of the main hall with its neck held high, looking down on the surrounding birds.

Its golden light was dazzling, shining in the center of the main hall, almost blinding everyone......

"Wow! What do I see? It's a phoenix that shines with golden light! ”

"Oh my God! I'm not dazzled! Is it really a phoenix, bling gold, is it real? ”

"It's not true, look closely, it's carved, God, this craftsmanship is amazing!"

"It is worthy of being the first chef in the imperial dining room, I have never seen such a beautifully carved and lifelike phoenix!"
