Chapter 164: A Deadly Birthday Feast
He Zhichun saw Princess Wei whispering to Pingyao for a long time, and Pingyao's pupils shrank sharply.
Her hand holding the wine trembled slightly, and some of the elixir spilled out, wetting her sleeves.
"Little lady, don't worry, I've already said it, as long as you don't eat, it's fine."
Ruan Mo walked back behind He Zhichun, knelt down, and whispered.
He Zhichun nodded.
Ruan Mo picked up the knife on the long table and sliced the roasted leg of lamb into pieces for He Zhichun, so as not to accidentally stick the dipping sauce to her mouth and eat indecently.
In the main hall, there are bursts of singing and dancing, and a beautiful pianist with long hair is caressing the guqin, ding dong ding dong, like the sound of flowing water.
Dressed in a lotus tulle skirt, the Maiko shook her long water sleeves and twisted her slender waist, and her bare ankles were covered with a string of brass bells, which made a beautiful sound as she danced.
Jinyang is long overdue.
She combed her hair in a towering bun, wore a peony crown, and embroidered a picture of a hundred birds fighting for spring with gold and silver thread on her long green skirt, which was dazzling to see.
She glanced at Pingyao, pointed to the high platform, and said, "This princess is a birthday star today, how can she sit with others, and she has to go one step higher." ”
The whispering sound on the scene was suddenly gone, and only the luthier was still stroking the piano.
Jinyang is going to flatten Yao's head, and he won't give her face at all!
Princess Changle looked at it, shook her head, and said loudly: "Jinyang, there is a wall above it, do you want to sit on the beam?" ”
Jin Yang hugged Princess Changle's hand and shook it in disgust, "Sister, don't tease me." It's my birthday. What kind of congratulatory gift did my sister give me? ”
Princess Changle nodded her nose, "You will be thirteen years old after today, why are you still like a child, and you asked Sister A for a congratulatory gift." ”
Although she said this, she still took out a brocade box, opened it, and saw that there was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with blood-red gemstones, which were not from the Central Plains.
Jin Yang was overjoyed when he saw it, took it out and put it on his hand, and then pursed his mouth and asked deliberately, "Then what did Sister give Pingyao?" ”
Princess Changle was a little helpless, "It's also a pair of bracelets." ”
Jin Yang snatched it and opened it to take a look, and saw that it was also the same style of bracelet, but Pingyao's inlay was not a gem, but a pearl, so he threw it over with satisfaction.
"Whew, yours."
Pingyao's face remained unchanged, but he smiled and saluted Princess Changle, "Pingyao, thank you, Sister." ”
After a while, Jin Yang began to toast, receiving gifts table by table, and opened it on the spot.
It was the first time He Zhichun had seen such a person, and he was a little speechless. When she heard Ruan Mo mention it before, she couldn't believe it.
This is simply a blatant bribery, and the courtesy is light, and he doesn't have the face to show his hand.
Soon arrived at He Zhichun, Princess Jinyang smiled, "Oh, isn't this the rich He Zhichun, I don't know what kind of gift you are giving, let us big guys open their eyes." ”
He Zhichun glanced at Ruan Mo indifferently, and Ruan Mo handed over the brocade box unhurriedly, "Princess He's birthday." ”
Pingyao opened it and saw that there was a peony flower in it, the petals were woven with gold wire, it looked like the craftsmanship was quite complicated, it was really the best grade, with the bracelet she was wearing in her hand, it was just very suitable.
However, no matter how good-looking Jin Buyan is, he can't stand her, and he really hates He Zhichun.
"Tsk, are you satirizing this princess for being only suitable for cheesy things like gold and silver?"
He Zhichun smiled, "The princess is born beautiful, and any elegant things such as jasper and ebony can't suppress your beauty, but gold makes you more and more luxurious." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the gold bracelet that Jin Yang was wearing, "It seems that Princess Changle and the little heroine see something similar." The difference between my golden step shake and the ordinary is a new style that the old craftsman came up with, and it will only appear on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
Do you think it's for nothing? You're so beautiful, I'm going to tell you that my silver building has a new trick, little ladies don't be stingy with their purses, come quickly!
Jin Yang felt a little bored, it turned out that He Zhichun was also this kind of person who slipped around and shot horses.
Let her find fault with her, but she can't find it.
She walked to the next table, and suddenly turned her head again, "I heard that you have a kind of vegetarian yokan?" You can do it, I want to eat yokan. ”
Ruan Mo was very annoyed when he heard this, Jin Yang is trying to humiliate He Zhichun, she is also the daughter of Jiuqing, how can she cook in front of the public.
He Zhichun shook his head, "The princess thinks highly of me, this yokan is a bought recipe, and I won't make it." And now that the weather is hot, the yokan is too sweet and greasy, and Zhiweiji has not done it for the time being. ”
"What if I have to do it?"
He Zhichun raised his eyebrows, "That courtier won't do it either." It's like if the princess wants me to become a little lang to marry you, then I can't be the same. ”
The people around him snorted, Jin Yang wanted to go crazy, but was dragged by Mo behind her.
She glared at He Zhichun fiercely, and then walked towards the next person.
He Zhichun looked at her one by one looking at the gifts, either happy or annoyed, and suddenly felt that Jin Yang looked like this, and he was really doted on by the saint.
This kind of banquet, because there are too many people, most of the dishes are cold dishes, He Zhichun wrapped the leg of lamb with vegetable leaves and ate it, and ate some small radish strips, so he stopped moving the chopsticks, just waiting for the palace people to remove it, and serve snacks and tea.
She saw that in this birthday banquet, there was really a potato soup, but Pingyao didn't move his chopsticks, almost like her, only ate a few chopsticks and mutton.
The staple food is big white steamed buns, and only Jinyang and Pingyao are longevity noodles.
He Zhichun nibbled on the steamed bun, and Yu Guang kept looking at Pingyao, according to her thoughts, on this birthday banquet, the easiest thing to attract is longevity noodles, because only two people will eat it, and usually, they will eat it completely.
If someone wants to eat potatoes in Pingyao by mistake, they can mix them with potato powder when making noodles, or use potato soup as a base, which is difficult for people to find.
Thinking like this, she became more and more uneasy.
But Pingyao and Jinyang both ate up the small bowl of noodles, and nothing bad happened.
Could it be that the man knew that the news was exposed, so he didn't do it.
At this time, Jin Yang suddenly laughed out loud and said: "Princess Shicai said that she wanted to eat vegetarian lamb soup, in fact, it was because this time the imperial dining room came up with a kind of milky honey bean vegetarian yokan, sprinkled with gold powder, and chilled with it, it was very delicious, a hundred times better than those in Zhiweiji, it was a hundred times better, you might as well taste it." ”
After speaking, he also glanced at He Zhichun with provocative eyes.
He Zhichun lowered his head and looked at the gold-powdered vegetarian yokan sent by the palace people.
The milk white beans are red and gold powder, and it is indeed pleasing to the eye.
Maybe it's not good to have gold dust, and you need to use ice, so many people, each of them only has a small plate, and there are three or four pieces in it.
