Chapter 742: Then Can You Play the Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting?
"Excuse me, life."
The emperor raised his hand and pointed down with a smile: "Fulai, give General Long and the county lord of Anping a seat." ”
"Yes."
Wang Fulai took the two eunuchs down, and after a while, he moved the mats over, and put tea cups and snacks for Angelica and Long Xilin.
The Emperor pointed downward, "Please sit down." ”
The seats of Angelica and Long Xilin are arranged on the left and right sides.
Long Xilin's position is on the left, and Angelica's position is on the right.
The two looked at each other and went to their respective places.
After the two of them sat down, the emperor looked at Angelica: "I have just asked the people in the imperial kitchen to cut the sweet potatoes and steam them according to the method said by the county lord of Anping. ”
As he spoke, the emperor looked at Wang Fulai.
Wang Fulai immediately went down and informed the imperial kitchen to serve the food.
After a while, the palace maid and eunuch came up with sweet potatoes.
The two eunuchs walked towards the throne with sweet potatoes in their hands.
The other two, on the other hand, came down and distributed sweet potatoes to the people sitting below.
Soon, the sweet potatoes were divided, and the emperor raised his hand slightly: "Let's eat." ”
As he spoke, the emperor took the lead in picking up chopsticks, poked a piece of the sweet potato, and put it in his mouth.
When the people below saw that the emperor began to eat, they also began to move their chopsticks.
"Well, it's really sweet and delicious, it melts in your mouth, wonderful, wonderful." The emperor took a bite and began to praise.
The peasant officials below listened to it and hurriedly echoed: "It's really delicious, Emperor Longen, let me taste such deliciousness, and I will thank Emperor Longen." ”
Several peasant officials trembled to their feet.
The emperor waved his hand: "Sit down, eat quickly!" ”
So, everyone quietly nibbled on sweet potatoes.
Angelica picked up the sweet potato directly with his hand, took a bite at a time, and ate it with relish.
Everyone else is too, and they think this sweet potato tastes good.
After everyone finished eating, the emperor looked at the agricultural official, "Lu Aiqing, this is a new variety discovered by the county lord of Anping, the yield is very high, and each mu can produce two or three thousand catties. ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
The peasant officials hurriedly stood up and agreed in unison.
They finally realized that the emperor had not just called them to let them taste the delicacy.
The emperor thought that they were not good at being peasant officials, and they were not as good as a little girl in farming, so he let them learn from this little girl.
One by one, they trembled, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The emperor waved his hand: "Sit down, you don't have to be so formalistic to eat, sit down." ”
Several peasant officials hurriedly sat down, and after taking their seats, they couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.
After the sweet potatoes are eaten, the next thing that comes up is the delicacies in the palace.
At the same time, musicians and dancers walked to the center of the hall and began to dance for the emperor and the people.
The music sounded, and the dancers danced in the hall, and the dance was very moving.
The queen looked at Angelica and asked with a smile: "When the county lord of Anping was in Linping Town, did he ever see such a dance?" ”
Angelica: "Back to the queen's mother, Anping was born in a peasant family, and he was busy doing farm work every day, so he didn't have the opportunity to watch such a dance." ”
The queen asked again: "Then can you play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”
Angelica: "I don't understand, I just recognize a few words." ”
