The banquet was held in the cherry blossom forest, and each large table was placed under a cherry blossom tree, and in order to avoid the cold and wet ground, everyone sat on a small bamboo couch covered with brocade mats, and the table was much higher than usual.

The whole cherry blossom forest is surrounded by light gauze curtains, separated by a sea of flowers, all kinds of gauze tents fluttering in the wind, accompanied by the sound of the piano, beautiful as not like ordinary dust.

The tent was guarded by the forbidden army and the guards, and all the tenants were confined to a corner of the lodge and were not allowed to move. There are also guards patrolling around Zhuangzi with big dogs, falcons flying by from time to time in the sky, and secret guards hiding in a few trees on the edge of the cherry blossom forest. Shen 15 and Shen 16 also pretended to be maidservants, standing behind Shen Mengxi's table, in short, the entire villa was like a great enemy.

Shen Mengxi swore that he would never hold this Laoshizi's family banquet again.

After Emperor Wu sat down, Shen Mengxi sat first on Emperor Wu's right hand, with two sisters-in-law beside her, and Li Xian and Li Dan and Wu Youji opposite. Further down the row, there are six long cases, divided into men and women, full of juniors.

Looking at more than 20 nephews and nieces of all sizes, Shen Mengxi sighed from the bottom of his heart, he can really give birth!

As an aunt, Shen Mengxi likes a few of Li Dan's family, although most of the sons of the four brothers' families are also timid and have mediocre qualifications, but Li Chengqi and Li Longji are very good, and the six sons of the four brothers' family are very friendly, on the contrary, the children of the three brothers' families, regardless of men and women, are all in the nest.

After Emperor Wu threw the pot with great interest, the banquet began, all kinds of dishes were served, delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, and the price of running water was served, but Emperor Wu liked a dish called pot wrapped meat, her teeth were still very good, eating the crispy and sweet and sour meat slices inside, nodding frequently.

At the table below, Jian Erzheng laughed and said: "Shiro, this is made of pork loin, don't you always say that pork is cheap and fishy, why do you still eat so much!" ”

Li Shilang was a little stunned and a little overwhelmed, "Is this really pork?" ”

Li Longji often comes and goes to the princess's mansion, and he has already eaten this pot of meat, and laughed to relieve his younger brother, "Of course! There is nothing bad about what my aunt's family makes! ”

Li Dan peeked at Emperor Wu, and when he saw that Emperor Wu had stopped chewing and was listening to San Lang, he blamed his sister, "Ah Yue! Why are you so careless and give such vulgar ingredients to A-Niang! ”

"Fourth brother, how can there be any vulgar and elegant ingredients, it depends on the craftsmanship and mind of the person who cooks the food!" Shen Mengxi knew that the fourth brother was to blame, but in fact, he protected her, and deliberately rolled his eyes and said: "Yue'er has eaten something delicious, so I want A-Niang to taste it too, no matter if it is ten meters of ingredients or not!" Auntie! Let's just say it's delicious or not! "In the end, leaned over to look at Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu swallowed the food and said, "It's really delicious!" ”

"Humph!" Shen Mengxi raised his head in protest at Li Dan, and Emperor Wu and the two brothers laughed.

Interspersed with singing and dancing and the juniors' pot throwing performances, a few more orders, a few rounds of poems, the sky is blue, the breeze is light, the music is sluggish, the laughter is cheerful, and the royal family has a rare warm atmosphere.

"A-Niang, Yue'er wants to go to Chang'an to live for a few days."

"How do you think of this?"

"The last time I traveled south, I was scared back by the assassin halfway through, and I didn't dare to leave Shendu for many years, and Yue'er didn't dare to leave A-Niang's side too far. But Chang'an is also the capital, and it should also be protected by A-Niang's divine power, so Yue'er wanted to take a few children out for a walk, so as not to let people say that His Majesty's grandsons have no knowledge one by one. Shen Mengxi scooped a bowl of shrimp ball soup and presented it to Emperor Wu, and he sat beside her, gently beating Emperor Wu's legs.

"Then go ahead, take a good rest in the house over there, and don't wronged yourself." Emperor Wu ate a shrimp ball, and his teeth flicked, "This is also delicious." ”

The maidservant brought a plate of mashed potatoes and put it on the table, and Shen Mengxi brought it over with her own hands.

"What is this? Yue'er's family eats a lot of tricks. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the princess is the best at tinkering with food!" Wu Youji was smiling.

Lu'er pulled the youngest daughter of Li Dan's family, Man'er, who had just turned four, and said after packing her luggage together: "Grandmother, A-Niang always says that Lu'er and the second brother are foodies, but in fact, A-Niang is the best at eating, A-Niang is a big foodie, and we are just snacks!" ”

When everyone heard the word foodie for the first time, they were a little stunned at first, but then they understood the meaning, and they all laughed.

"I've only heard of idiots, but I've never heard of foodies!" Emperor Wu also smiled from ear to ear.

Lu'er naughtily stuck out her tongue at Shen Mengxi, saluted Emperor Wu, and ran back with Man'er.

Shen Mengxi smiled helplessly, "Ah Niang, this is mashed potatoes, which Yue'er accidentally discovered, this crop has a high yield, can be used as a staple food, can also be used as a vegetable, and is very hungry resistant." Shen Mengxi dug a spoonful with his own hands and fed it to Emperor Wu, and the attendant next to him was just about to test the poison, but Emperor Wu waved his hand to block it and opened his mouth to eat.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Mengxi looked at Emperor Wu expectantly.

"Soft, fragrant, delicious!" Emperor Wu motioned for Shen Mengxi to take another spoonful, and everyone began to eat mashed potatoes enthusiastically.

"Auntie! Is this potato a hassle to grow? If we can promote private cultivation, can we solve the food problem? Li Longji suddenly walked to the side of the chairman and asked Shen Mengxi.

"Ahh My aunt didn't even expect it! A-Niang, San Lang is right! The remaining potatoes are not eaten, and they are kept as seeds, which are very easy to grow, and more potatoes can be harvested in the fall! Shen Mengxi pinched Li Longji's face and praised him, Li Longji hurriedly broke free, "Auntie, I'm thirteen years old, can I not pinch my face!" ”

Shen Mengxi listened, put away his smile, thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said, "No!" ”

Hahahaha, everyone laughed again, and Emperor Wu pointed at her with a smile: "More naughty than that child!" ”

The banquet was full of laughter.

Emperor Wu rested in Shen Mengxi's bedroom for half an hour at noon, woke up and stroked Shen Mengxi's hand and said, "A-Niang hasn't been so happy for many years. ”

In the afternoon, everyone turned to the polo field, and the children of the Li family and the Xue family, all who could play were on the field, not to mention, these children shrank in front of Emperor Wu, and when they arrived on the court, they were all majestic, you came and went, and they didn't let each other go, and they were actually very interesting, which made Shen Mengxi impressed.

Emperor Wu saw that the dragon's heart was very happy, and gave each child a jade pendant and ruyi, as an encouragement, and a group of children kowtowed to thank him, holding the reward with an ecstatic look. Emperor Wu was even happier.

Shen Mengxi sighed, the old man, when he reaches a certain age, he should be the "wealth boy", everyone is happy, what do you do with those dead things that are not brought to death in your hands? Children must also be able to be human beings, and no matter what the elders give, they must be very happy, so that there will be a next time.

Shen Mengxi stretched out his hands and said pitifully: "A-Niang, I want it too." ”

The crowd laughed again.

When Emperor Wu left, he really appreciated a lot of things from Shen Mengxi. However, she is leaving the cook of the princess's mansion.

Shen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, and the colorful clothes and entertainment were finally over.
