Chapter Twenty-Six: The Banquet
Yue Li propped her head in the study and thought, in her previous life, she had ready-made edible pigments to dye the cream, and now there is nothing here, what should I do?
And if the mold needs to be made with three layers, she also needs to find someone to make a set for her.
Fantasy is useless, Yue Li decides to find the answer in the books behind.
The wisdom of the ancients is endless, Yue Li turned to it in a "Edible Ancient Books".
Turmeric can be used as a yellow dye.
Madder can be used as a red dye.
Let's just use these two colors, it's too late to look for more.
Yue Li summoned Pan Xiang and told her to find someone to find as many of these two herbs as possible.
Yue Li was not sure that he would be able to dye it successfully at one time, so it was naturally good to prepare more.
She took out a piece of rice paper and drew on it the molds she needed, a total of three sets.
After marking the size and requirements she needed, Yue Li called Mixia and told her the requirements and details required for this set of tools.
"Do you remember clearly?"
Mixia nodded, though still a little confused.
Yue Li looked at her appearance and knew that she didn't understand, and pointed to the words she wrote on it and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's all written clearly on the palace, you just need to find a reliable blacksmith and ask him to make it for the palace within seven days as required."
Now Mixia understood, and quickly answered and went out.
In this way, everything was arranged, Yue Li smiled with satisfaction, and went back to his room, planning to take a nap.
The sound of birds outside the dormitory turned into the sound of cicadas, and Yue Li finally couldn't help it.
I thought that I would be able to sleep peacefully after enduring the birdsong in spring, but now, the outside is full of cicadas.
Yue Li sat up from the couch, summoned Xun Dong, and commanded weakly: "Find someone to catch all the cicadas outside for this princess!" ”
When Xun Dong heard Yue Li's words, his eyes widened and he caught all the cicadas??
How can this be done, she went to the little eunuchs outside with full of questions, and informed Yue Li of her instructions.
The little eunuchs cried and mourned, how could this princess think that one out is one out, so she reluctantly took the tools to catch the cicada and went to work.
Yue Li listened to the reaction from the outside and was finally satisfied.
In the past few days, she has figured out how to dye the cream and made a wonderful birthday cake decoration scheme, and she has not had a good rest for a few days.
She had done everything for the day, and waited for the cake mold to come back and prepare the cake.
After all, Daddy's birthday is three days away.
Yue Li decided to make all the cakes one day in advance, waiting for her cheap father's birthday banquet and her cake to shine!
Three days later, in Chaoyang Palace, the emperor's 40th birthday banquet invited hundreds of officials and harem concubines.
The ministers cooperated with their families and arrived at Chaoyang Palace early, and the ministers chatted and the picture was happy.
The concubines, who were expecting a blockbuster on the emperor's birthday, also prepared various programs and waited at Chaoyang Palace early.
Now there is only the emperor, Xi Guifei and Yue Li have not arrived.
Yue Li commanded many palace people over there, carefully carrying her birthday gift today, she covered the birthday cake with a box, and covered it with a layer of red gauze, which was very mysterious.
She asked people to move the birthday cake outside the hall, sent someone to guard it carefully, and went to Chaoyang Palace.
Today she came dressed up, wearing a long silk and gold silk embroidered dress, combing a flying fairy bun, and wearing some jewelry at will, which looked particularly bright and moving.
Yue Li was the last to enter the Chaoyang Palace, and everyone around was watching this sulfur moon princess.
It used to be ridiculous, but now it looks like it's been learned, and the appearance is so amazing, it's the kind of beauty that is extremely aggressive.
Yue Li was late, so he walked to the center, saluted the emperor, and congratulated:
"Sulphur Moon has seen my father, I wish you a long life and a long life, and everything is your heart!"
The saint who sat at the head smiled at his favorite daughter, and said auspicious words, and his mouth could not be closed.
"Sit down, sit down!"
Yue Li lowered his head and walked to his seat.
A eunuch clapped his hands, and a group of women in dance clothes came out, and for a while, the silk and bamboo dances complemented each other.
This is the official beginning.
First, the emperor's concubines presented him with congratulatory gifts and blessed words.
Every year, there will be women who want to be favored by the emperor, and they will be generous and glorious at this banquet, and then get the emperor's favor.
Yue Li didn't want to see these women competing for a man's favor there, so she lowered her head and carefully tasted the banquet food.
Pan Xiang, who was kneeling next to her, suddenly poked her and motioned for Yue Li to look at the other side.
Yue Li raised his head, only to find that it was Ye Qin sitting opposite.
They hadn't seen each other since the last time she threw Ye Qin in front of the Qingfeng Pavilion.
Yue Li stared at Ye Qin opposite, seeing that he refused one colleague's invitation to drink one after another, and only tasted it superficially by himself.
Ye Qin actually doesn't like wine?
Yue Li was puzzled, she inherited the original owner's love of drinking, and since the last time she made a cake, she also brewed a few jars of fruit wine and buried it under the tree.
Yue Li propped up his head, looking at Ye Qin's jawline in a daze, I have to say, this man is really good-looking.
On the other side, the man who was staring at her directly seemed to have noticed something, and raised his eyes to look at Yue Li.
With a "rub", Yue Li quickly turned his head, as if he had been discovered for something bad.
But she couldn't help but look at her secretly with her afterglow, she looked at Ye Qin, raised a glass of wine in her direction, and gestured to respect her?
Yue Li didn't understand a little, but he also picked up the wine and saluted Ye Qin from afar.
A glass of wine is a little spicy and bitter in the mouth, and it is really not as delicious as the one you have privately collected.
No wonder Ye Qin refused to drink with his colleagues, they all tasted it shallowly.
On the other side, Ye Qin had actually noticed Yue Li's sneaky appearance a long time ago, he didn't hate Yue Li staring at him like this, on the contrary, he liked it.
just wanted to tease her, so I stared back, who knew that I couldn't help but tease, I could see the blush on her face from afar.
Ye Qin smiled lowly, the coral tree she bought that day had not been taken from his house, and he didn't know what new things she had prepared today.
He was inexplicably looking forward to it.
Yue Li waited for a long time for the group of concubines to finish their performances, and the food on the table was almost eaten by her, and the group of concubines was not over yet.
She looked at Ye Qin boredly, hoping that he would look at her again, and this time she would definitely not act as embarrassed as she had just been.
She held her face in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and drank it in one gulp.
Ye Qin finally looked up at her.
Yue Li looked at Ye Qin with silky eyes and threw a wink at him.
