Chapter 295: Respective Performance

The singing and dancing on the stage entered a new round of performances, and in the midst of the staggered competition under the stage, Jia Lao's proudly specialty dishes came on the stage.

Fresh fish is used to remove the skin of the bones, boil the broth and then filter it through five layers with a fine gauze net, and then put it in a container to solidify and form.

It would have been a compliment to eat in the past, but the environment is different now, and eating fish jelly outside in the cold wind after sunset is definitely not something that makes people feel happy.

Even Emperor Deyuan himself, who has always loved the dishes made by Jia Lao, was discouraged this time, picked up a small piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, then put down the chopsticks and stopped moving the dishes on the table.

The days of royal activities such as the moon viewing banquet were given to death by the ancestors, so even Emperor Deyuan himself could not change it at will, and every year he had to feast his courtiers on a cold night while admiring the moon, and this year's cold was even better than in previous years, and the dishes that could be eaten in the past became difficult to swallow in this year's weather.

After looking around, the courtiers sitting below were either sitting around drinking or rubbing their hands together, and the concubines sitting on the left and right sides were also wearing thick cloaks and stretching out their hands to warm their hands in front of the stove placed on the table.

These concubines and their families on the left and right, only two of these people maintain a comfortable sitting posture as before, Concubine Jing and Sikong Yu, it can be seen that they are relying on the self-control exercised by the children of the Sikong family since they were young to learn martial arts, and the slightly pale lips of the two are the best proof.

And the same tough resistance, his princes and princesses behaved much more unnaturally, several princes seemed to be discussing the homework left by the gentleman in the school, and the trembling of their arms betrayed them during the conversation, perhaps they were so cold that they didn't even know what to say again.

The princesses chose a similar way of greeting the ministers to keep warm, and they seemed to be intimately huddled together and discussed something quietly, but when they looked at it like this, they felt like the kind of harmonious family relationship in a folk family, and they didn't care about what they said at all.

"Sister Si, the topics they are discussing seem to be very boring", the fifth princess Ye Rui and Ye Si sat at the same table, listening to the discussion from several imperial brothers.

"On the resettlement of the people in the frontier after the war, this question is still what Mr. said in the previous class, and the one who got the best from Mr. at that time was over there"

Ye Si said and gently tilted his chin in the direction where Ye Huang was, Ye Rui realized that the brothers who were seriously discussing were the same as himself, and they could basically confirm that they had no hope of staying in the East Palace, so he thought about performing in front of his father to improve his evaluation.

Emperor Deyuan also seemed to agree with the topic that these sons were discussing, and he couldn't help but nod when he heard them talk about the highlights.

Continuing to look to the side, there were also two young people sitting at the first table under Concubine Jing, and the state of these two people was different, they didn't seem to feel the cold, and only they were still eating the dishes on the table during the conversation.

Emperor Deyuan spoke: "Call Huang'er and Prince Genji, I have something to say to them."

The eunuch standing on the side heard His Majesty speak, saluted and replied "Huh", got up and walked.
