Chapter 183: Zhao Shizi

Not only was Lin Yuxiu's dream of being the queen shattered, but the possibility of entering the palace as a concubine was gone, but now she got married and became Princess Yu.

But now everyone knows that she, Princess Yu, was given to her because of the emperor's extrajudicial kindness, and in this battle, the Lin family and King Yu were defeated.

The birthday banquet solved the Lin family's father and daughter and King Yu, just when everyone thought it was a farce, the banquet was interrupted, the palace people quickly rearranged the palace, the action was extremely fast, neat and orderly, the division of labor was clear, the action was quick, and the tables and chairs were all placed.

Even the dishes are well prepared. Since the previous banquet was interrupted, there were two more rare desserts on each table, in addition to the new original dishes.

Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin naturally made a banquet, Helian Hongyi picked up the bowl of ice and put it in his hand and looked at it, Wang Shun's father-in-law on the side couldn't help but gasp, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the jade bowl with desserts.

"What's in here?" Helian Hongyi asked Gu Banqin.

This time, the birthday banquet was managed by Gu Banqin from the dance to the dishes, and then to the seat arrangement, all managed by Gu Banqin, and the strange thing on the table that was obviously not a common dish at the banquet was definitely from Gu Banqin's handwriting.

I saw Gu Banqin digging a large piece of jam shaved ice with a small spoon, squinting his eyes happily, and after swallowing it, he said to Helian Hongyi: "This is a syrup boiled with jam poured on the chiseled ice, there is a name, does the emperor want to hear it?" ”

Helian Hongyi listened to Gu Banqin's explanation, while sending the jade bowl to the front, after carefully looking around, he found that the ice was a little to melt, so he learned from Gu Banqin's appearance, picked some with a small spoon and put it in his mouth, the ice was cold, sweet and refreshing. Asked:

"What's the name?"

Gu Banqin smiled: "This dessert is called 'Ice and Snow Sauce'." ”

After Gu Banqin finished speaking, he scooped out a red berry pickled in white sugar scattered on the edge of the bowl with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

Helian Hongyi: ...... I didn't want to talk to her more, so I buried my head in eating.

The dessert prepared by Gu Banqin won unanimous praise from the public, some people couldn't stop eating, some people guessed while eating, and some people exchanged heads and ears, exchanging opinions with the people next to them, but looking at the scene, there was nothing bad to eat.

After Tong put down the bowl, he glanced at the emperor's platform, and saw that Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin were eating with their heads buried in their heads, so he cleared his throat and stood up from his seat.

"Your Majesty, this dessert is produced in the Lanxiang Building named by the virtuous concubine Niangniang, this thing is made of milk and seasonal jam made of goat's milk and condensed milk with sweet candied red berries, which melts in the mouth.

Mr. Tong's words let everyone know the origin of this dessert, and some eyes fell directly on Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin was forced to raise her head by a lot of stares, and just happened to see Lord Tong who was looking at herself, she reacted suddenly and nodded:

"Ahhh

Then he looked at Helian Hongyi on the side, and threw the topic of Tong's request for propaganda on him, Helian Hongyi put down the bowl, took the handkerchief handed by Wang Shun's father-in-law, wiped his hands and mouth, and then said to Tongren who was standing under the emperor's platform with an expectant face:

"Your mother said that this thing is called 'ice and snow sauce'."

Helian Hongyi, this ready-made cheap pick-up, is too shameless.

wanted to accuse him, but someone took it for granted, so angry that Gu Banqin angrily dug a big spoonful and put it into his mouth, swallowed it violently, and felt that his heart was cold.

Seeing her like this, Helian Hongyi couldn't help but send her a cup of hot tea in front of her, and naturally let her take a small sip, and Gu Banqin was slightly better.

Master Tong chewed the name repeatedly, as if he was figuring out the meaning of the name, and Liu Youcheng on the side clapped his hands and praised: "Not bad, good name." ”

Here is naming the main product of Lanxiang Building, and the Queen Mother over there, suddenly heard the name 'Lanxiang Building', but she was stunned, the third princess noticed the strangeness of the Fang family, leaned over and asked:

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and glanced at the third princess a few times, and then shook her head with a bad face: "It's nothing, eat you." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the third princess to protest, the queen mother's eyes fell on Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin, who were sitting on the dragon chair, and exhaled heavily.

What kind of name is not easy to use, but with such a diaphragmatic name, I suddenly lost my appetite when I looked at the dessert in my hand.

During the banquet, Gu Fengmao also ate quite unpleasantly, turned his head to look in the direction of Gu Nianshu, and saw that after Gu Nianshu learned that this dessert had a great relationship with Gu Banqin, he never wanted to touch it again.

It was rumored in the palace before that the emperor asked the household department to open a shop outside the palace for Concubine Xian, but this matter has always been just a rumor, and there is no real evidence.

Over time, everyone thought it was groundless, but now it sounds, and they have learned the truth, the emperor loves Gu Banqin so much, which makes the concubines have any appetite, and they all put down the jade bowls and spoons one by one.

Gu Nianshu hated Gu Banqin at the moment, although what happened today had nothing to do with Gu Nianshu, but Gu Nianshu also stood up and spoke in response to Gu Fengmao.

originally thought that they could take advantage of today's scene to let everyone see their Gu family, but who knew that there was an oolong, and the emperor was simply prepared.

Judging from the previous interaction between the emperor and Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin probably knew the emperor's true intentions in advance, but she didn't mention it at all, and she and her father stood up to speak for the Lin family, and in the end, the Lin family was slapped in the face, and they naturally didn't have a good reputation, but made people laugh.

Gu Fengmao saw the anger on Gu Nianshu's face, where could he not understand what his daughter was thinking, and turned his eyes to Gu Banqin.

The emperor loves her in every way, if this favor falls on Gu Nianshu's body, how much benefit and benefit will it bring to the Gu family.

It's a pity that the girl eats inside and out, and she can't help but help the Gu family, and she still tramples on her sister everywhere in the palace.

I don't want to think about who is left to rely on after she falls out of favor one day, and there are times when she regrets it.

Gu Fengmao and Gu Nianshu's thoughts, Gu Banqin didn't have time to guess now, and when he was eating with Helian Hongyi, Wang Shun's father-in-law came over to pass the word, saying that the prince of Zhao Wang was coming to toast.

Helian Hongyi raised his hand, and Wang Shun's father-in-law went to pass the word, and after a while, he heard a voice come from Lang Lang:

"Congratulations to the emperor on the Holy Body Kangtai, long life without borders."

Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin turned their heads together to look, Zhao Wang's son Zhao Shishi is a talent, his white and clean appearance looks quite handsome, but the corners of his eyes are red, and when he toasts, his fingertips keep rubbing the wall of the cup, which shows that this son is short-tempered.

"No courtesy."

Helian Hongyi was not more polite to the people of the Zhao family, Zhao Shishi secretly gritted his teeth, but he still had to keep a smile on his face, not to mention Helian Hongyi, even Gu Banqin was a little uncomfortable watching from the side.

After seeing Zhao Shishi stand upright, he quickly glanced at Gu Banqin, and then asked Helian Hongyi:

"Today's emperor's birthday banquet, I somehow didn't see Concubine De, when the minister entered the palace, my father still had something to tell me to see if Concubine De was okay, and I would have an explanation when I went back."

Gu Banqin said in her heart, sure enough.

The Zhao family must have known about Concubine Zhao by now, but they pretended not to know and deliberately came to ask Helian Hongyi.

Helian Hongyi sent the empty wine glass to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin hurriedly poured him refill the wine, only to see Helian Hongyi take a sip of wine, and said calmly to Zhao Shishi:

"Concubine De had an accident in the palace, and now she lives in the cold palace, how can she appear here."

Zhao Shishi's eyebrows frowned, and he smiled stiffly: "I don't know what crime Concubine De has committed, if there is a place where the emperor is not well served, the minister will apologize to the emperor on behalf of Concubine De, and ask the emperor not to remember the villain and forgive Concubine De." ”

These words seemed to be courteous, but in Gu Banqin's ears, it was not like that.

The Zhao family wanted to ask Helian Hongyi Xingshi about the crime, but they didn't dare to ask directly, so they asked Zhao Shishi to pretend to be stupid.

Gu Banqin set her eyes on Helian Hongyi's face, wanting to see what Helian Hongyi's attitude was towards the Zhao family, who knew that Helian Hongyi's expression was calm, his eyes were staring at the dance of the ministers and dancers in the audience, and he rarely even looked at Zhao Shishi, and the tone of his answer was even more perfunctory:

"Concubine De didn't do anything wrong, and I don't need you to make amends for her."

The smile on Zhao Shishi's face became more and more unbearable, and with that humiliated expression, Gu Banqin was tired of watching it for him.

"Since Concubine De didn't make a mistake, why did the emperor put her in the cold palace? When my father married Concubine De into the palace, he wanted her to serve the emperor well and ...... in the future."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Helian Hongyi:

"There are many people around me who are waiting, and she is not the only one missing. She was in the palace, didn't the head of the Inner Court tell your family about her last time, didn't your father tell you why Concubine De entered the cold palace? Or go back and ask your father, and he will know about it. ”

Zhao Shishi's face changed greatly, obviously he didn't expect that Helian Hongyi actually knew about the head of the Inner Court Division reporting to the Zhao family, and Zhao Shishi seemed to be a little unsure of how to respond to Helian Hongyi's unconcealed words.

Gu Banqin gave Helian Hongyi several praises in her heart, for the Zhao family, in fact, sometimes they really can't give them much good face, they are already greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they brazenly expect the new emperor to treat their family well?

The new emperor is not charitable!

Without waiting for Zhao Shishi to speak again, Helian Hongyi turned his gaze to him, and said to him again:

"Also, Concubine De was sent to the palace to serve me, I can put her wherever I want, if your Zhao family is not convinced, just let your father come to me to reason, I will make a clear distinction with him."
