Chapter 29: The Birthday Banquet (1)

Yunlan didn't know how to explain it, so he seemed to stutter a little when he spoke, but in Kangxi's opinion, he was affected by his imperial majesty.

As Huang Ama, he was a little dissatisfied, and felt that his daughter-in-law should naturally be good enough. But as an emperor, thinking of Yunlan's age, I think it's understandable. If she is really very good, even surpassing the crown princess, it may not be the four blessings on the jade plate.

"Huang Ama asked you, if you said that this kind of dish is okay, what about other things?" How Kangxi said that he was the emperor, he thought of a lot of things.

Others may have the first thought that Concubine De is going to be slapped in the face. But Kangxi thinks about people's livelihood or financial problems, and in many cases, he is indeed a good emperor.

Yunlan really didn't think about it that much, her original intention was not here, but she also understood some simple truths. "If you go back to Huang Ama, it depends on what you plant, not all crops can adapt to this method." It has limitations, first of all, the cost of paying and getting, such as vegetables because of the limitations of the season and its preservation is not easy, even if you pay more in winter, but the scarcity is expensive, and it does not return to the loss. But what about the rest? Not to mention growing grain, the place must be large, it is already a difficult problem to solve, and although the grain will become old rice in the second year, it can be preserved after all, unless there is a natural disaster, no matter how high it is, it will not go anywhere, and even if the policy is in place, it can be solved by escorting it elsewhere.

Kangxi didn't think of this kind of problem, and the fourth elder brother, who was also an emperor, also thought of this problem.

Both generations of emperors were in deep thought.

Yun Lan glanced at the fourth elder brother, thought for a while and said: "Actually, you still have to find someone to test this kind of dish, if it can still be done, maybe you can consider others." In fact, the daughter-in-law is mainly greedy, only to think of trying it, if it becomes, take it in the winter is also fresh vegetables to eat, if not, left and right but by our master laughed at a sound, fortunately, the father has a good temperament, although he does not approve but does not object, so that the daughter-in-law is allowed to toss indiscriminately. ”

In fact, she is also lucky, who makes the current fourth elder brother so different.

Kangxi didn't say a word.

Yun Lan was a little nervous, and that gaze was burning on the top of her hair, and she could feel the scrutiny and suspicion from an emperor.

After a long while, maybe just a few breaths.

Kangxi retracted his gaze, glanced at the fourth elder brother, and motioned for him to go out together.

When the fourth elder brother passed by Yunlan's side, he subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand, but fortunately, the sound of Liang Jiugong opening the door shocked his heart.

His mood was similarly mixed.

Yun Lan smiled at him, and sent Kangxi and the fourth elder brother away.

She didn't see the fourth elder brother until the next day's breakfast was served. I heard that the cattail said that it was almost the third watch to return to the front hall, and that was the case, the light was also extinguished on the fifth watch. So how long did he sleep? Do you really think you are beaten by iron? Yunlan is used to looking down on such people who don't cherish their bodies, you don't care about it yourself, and you expect others to care about you and pay attention to you?

"Am I doing something wrong?" Yunlan asked.

The fourth elder brother frowned, he didn't understand this word.

"I'm doing something wrong." Yun Lan looked at the dark circles on the fourth elder brother's face, although he seemed to be quite energetic, but he was just relying on his young age. "Last night, in front of Huang Ama, I mentioned that incident. Did Huang Ama let his master be responsible? Although she meant this, she wanted to help the fourth elder brother, and she was also helping herself, if she changed to someone else, it would not be so easy for her to intervene.

"Nothing." The fourth elder brother can't say that he had this idea from the beginning, and originally thought that his idea was to test it privately and then present it to Huang Ama. Although he was a little surprised, he could also understand the importance that the emperor attached to these things. Fortunately, as Xiao Fujin said, this is not something that can be done certainly, it still needs to be tested, and it is also given to others.

And as a princeling, he should be the decision of Huang Ama after thinking about it. Handed it over to other ministers, I'm afraid that if it doesn't work, it will be child's play.

"That's good." Yun Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, talking about Concubine De's birthday today, and also gave the birthday gift list to the fourth elder brother to see.

The fourth elder brother was a little worried, but after reading it, he was embarrassed.

Some want to laugh, but some are speechless, and finally hold back but have strange faces and are not very good-looking.

The two incense on the side were worried that they couldn't do it.

They persuaded Fujin at the beginning that this birthday gift could not be given like this. But Fu Jin didn't listen, and they couldn't help it, now looking at the expression of the fourth elder brother, both of them thought, it's over, I knew that I had to persuade Fu Jin to change his mind before. Although Fu Jin is the wife of the fourth elder brother, Concubine De is still a mother.

"This gift ......" The fourth elder brother flicked the gift list with the back of his hand, and he didn't say a word for a long time. His heart was extremely happy, and he felt that Concubine De might not know what her expression would be when she saw it.

It's just that in this way, Xiao Fujin is afraid that it will be difficult for Concubine De.

Open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, not to mention that when a mother-in-law wants to set a rule for her daughter-in-law, others can't find fault with it.

The fourth elder brother is afraid that Xiao Fujin will suffer a loss at that time.

"Not bad, right?" Yun Lan didn't seem to notice his entanglement, and said.

That's right, she's just stingy and distressed. But in addition to pulling out a few cabbages by himself, it is always not wrong to send the rest to Ningshou Palace, why is it not a birthday gift on the day of his birthday? Besides, the other things prepared are not bad, and they are three points heavier than the third sister-in-law's side.

Even if you take it out, it's not a shame, Yunlan is seriously looking for someone to check the gift list sent by others on the birthday of each host in the past year.

The fourth elder brother wanted people to prepare a new one, and he thought that what Fu Jin said was right.

Until I went out, the gift list was still there as it was.

The banquet is set in Yonghe Palace, as the daughter-in-law of the master's concubine in the sense of blood, Yunlan was pulled to entertain as soon as she arrived, but in fact, she was not busy, everything that should be prepared was ready, and she was not allowed to interfere before, but now it is like consuming her, so that the call comes and goes, and the group of calls goes around, until the birthday banquet begins, I didn't drink a sip of water.

But Concubine De was dressed up brightly and sat in the first place. Fortunately, there is no queen now, otherwise even if it is her birthday, the position does not belong to her.

But at this time, Concubine De sat at the top, condescendingly looking at the concubines and the third concubines sitting below, with a dignified smile on the corner of her mouth, and was about to raise her wine glass to speak, Kangxi's reward arrived.
