, the fastest update of the latest chapter after the saltless! Three days before the holy feast, the palace was completely renewed, the inner prison was a cluster of new clothes and new shoes, walking with two feet with the wind, the palace people changed into bright pink lake blue palace clothes, the pleated skirt was made of great size, walking gracefully and joyfully. Wang Rong and the palace are not stingy, the number of palace people has been cleaning up when she is in charge of the palace, the roster is made twice a year, there are no redundant personnel, and the financial health of the harem also leaves her room for generosity.

The palace people who have reached the age are out of the palace in the name of praying for His Majesty's holy life, and famous temples around the country are opening good fasts for holy life. The people are not allowed to slaughter animals, they are not allowed to serve in plain clothes, and the yamen does not deal with criminal cases.

In short, it is necessary to have peace in all four seas.

On His Majesty's birthday, Wang Ronghe got up early, dressed neatly and waited for His Majesty to get up, gentle and careful, and personally gave a bowl of eight treasures and eight colors of longevity noodles to His Majesty.

"I said, why did you get up so early today?" Zhu Yijun got up in the morning to accept the birthday greetings of the palace people, and then looked at the breakfast table made by Wang Ronghe himself, and ironed it in his heart. "You did it?"

"Even the noodles are kneaded by me." Wang Ronghe said, "Because I was worried about getting up early today, I couldn't sleep well last night." ”

"Come, you will also eat with me, and live long with me." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

After using noodles, Zhu Yijun went to the Huangji Palace to accept the birthday of hundreds of officials, because this year did not leave courtiers to drink and feast in the palace, Wang Ronghe suggested that Shangshan Jian make a batch of birthday cakes, so that the officials could take the birthday cakes back to share with their families after worshipping their birthdays, which also means celebrating with the people.

Wang Ronghe's original words are that ordinary people, others come to pay their birthdays and send a few brown sugar snacks, Your Majesty's heavenly family, officials come to pay birthday to Your Majesty, and it is not good for them to go back empty-handed.

Zhu Yijun asked Wang Ronghe to watch it.

Wang Rong and the chief eunuch who called the Shang Diet Supervisor said to him, "The dim sum is pressed with a mold of the same size of eight, nine taels of a cake is enough, and then a plate is placed in the middle, put a dried fruit, make up nine numbers, all with a color of long wooden box, half of the sweet and salty, sweet and sweet to make five kernel filling, only put some rose sugar in it to taste, salty with diced pork belly fried dry, and then mixed with bamboo shoots and scallops, dried shrimp and tofu residue, must be made salty and delicious, the appearance should also be yellow and clear." ”

"This is Your Majesty's birthday cake, you can't be sloppy."

The queen's mother said a word, and the people below had to run, and the Shangshan supervisor went to the seasoning test, nine taels and one, it was a flatbread, and if it was not done well, it was full of strange taste. There are also molds to do separately, the pattern on the cake is the five bats set by the mother, the middle of the word Shou, the word Jiu. After the cake test is done, you have to send Qixiang Palace to the mother to see, the mother nodded, when can you start to do it.

Except for the Shang Shan Supervisor, the rest have to follow suit. Manchu Dynasty civil and military so many people, how many long wooden boxes, this just holds eight large snacks and a plate of dried fruit where there is ready-made, can only send more people to make, hurriedly rushed out, it is really too late to carve patterns on the box to show the dignity and majesty of the heavenly family, with the consent of the queen, the best red satin, cut into a boxy, and then wrap the box and then play a flower, set a table to look, it is also lively and joyful.

"I also thought that Your Majesty would not entertain the ministers for this year's holy birthday, so we can save a little bit, but we didn't succeed in this point." The little chef rubbed his aching wrist and said.

"You can be content." Another person said, "We have made His Majesty's birthday cakes with our own hands, and when we go home from the palace in the future, we will use this reason to make cakes again, and the wealth will be extensive, which is more cost-effective than making many big banquets." ”

"These ingredients are all fried by the masters in the back room, let's just knead, press, and shoot, and we don't see anything else, how do you know how Your Majesty's birthday cake is made?"

"Call you stupid, you're stupid." The chef said, "The filling of the shou cake is nothing more than a few things, a little more and a little less, anyway, no one outside has eaten it, let's stare at the name of Shang Shan Supervisor, and we are afraid that others will not believe it." ”

After Zhu Yijun accepted the courtiers' birthday greetings, and then the inner supervisor entered from both sides, holding the red package in his hand, Zhu Yijun seemed to smell the fragrance of the dim sew, and the longevity cake Wang Ronghe also put it in Kunning Palace for him to taste, sweet and delicious, but it was greasy to eat two more pieces, perhaps because of the addition of rose sugar, the salty one was suitable, and it was more hungry than the bean cake.

Zhu Yijun's mouth reflected the taste of tasting at that time, and his heart was very happy, "Since there is no banquet this year, the princes will take birthday cakes home to enjoy with their relatives, and eat an extra piece of meat at home, even if it is to accompany me for my birthday." ”

Zhu Yijun's words were witty, and the courtiers were relaxed and natural, laughing and laughing. This is a rare moment, since Zhu Yijun changed from a diligent monarch to not going to the court, the relationship between the monarch and the minister has been very tense.

This time, His Majesty said that because of the overhaul of the Kunning Palace of the Qianqing Palace, he would save his life, and he would not feast on hundreds of officials, but only celebrate in the harem, so that many people could see hope.

It is the luck of the country to meet Mingjun.

came out of the Imperial Palace and entered the harem, but saw Wang Ronghe waiting on the side of the palace road, Wang Ronghe got on His Majesty's Luan, "I'm here to pick up Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at her and smiled, "At most, the people who greeted her were outside the palace, and you welcomed them to the Imperial Palace." ”

"Your Majesty celebrates his birthday today, so naturally there will be something different from usual." Wang Ronghe said, "In the long run, it is really getting more and more difficult to give His Majesty a sense of freshness." ”

"Well, the next time you enter the Imperial Palace and wait for me, I will definitely feel fresh." Zhu Yijun suggested.

"Your Majesty's bad idea, I won't be fooled." Wang Ronghe said.

The two went back to Qixiang Palace, changed into regular clothes, and now the banquet is being set up, Zhu Yijun can rest for a while and then go to the banquet, he looked at Wang Ronghe, "What gift have you prepared for me this year?" ”

"Your Majesty guesses?" Wang Rong and the head of the road. "If I guess correctly, I will send more to Your Majesty."

"What if you can't guess?" Zhu Yijun said.

"If you can't guess, you can't guess." Wang Rong said with a cunning, "Even if it's Your Majesty's birthday, I don't want a lottery." ”

Zhu Yijun cooperated and guessed a few things, Wang Ronghe shook his head, and Zhu Yijun admitted defeat, "I can't guess." ”

"By this evening, Your Majesty will know." Wang Ronghe smiled, "It's just that Your Majesty shouldn't be frightened at that time." ”

The two of them were crooked on both sides of the kang table and gossiping, Zhu Yijun also felt quite comfortable, when the palace people came to invite His Majesty to the banquet, Zhu Yijun still frowned, "If there is no special, let's come back early, isn't it better to sit there comfortably?" ”

"The palace concubines have been preparing for Your Majesty's birthday for a long time, and Your Majesty must sit and read it." Wang Ronghe said.

First go to Cining Palace to travel to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and the concubines who live in the apse of Shou'an Palace in Cining Palace can also take advantage of this time to come out and be happy, some of the concubines look very young, childless and unfavored, but they want to spend their lives in the palace, living in the depths of the palace every day, and only come out to do activities during these celebrations.

Wang Ronghe looked at these concubines, thinking of the concubines in His Majesty's harem now, it was obviously a happy day, and a trace of coldness rose in his heart.

The holy birthday banquet is placed in the Wuying Palace, the inner hall is spacious, which can be used for the concubine to perform, and a large stage is placed outside the hall, and there is a teaching workshop to perform. The concubines have long been waiting in the palace on seniority, waiting for His Majesty to fall on the throne, three shouts of long live the Holy Birthday, His Majesty's life rises, the ceremonies outside the palace are played, and the mermaids in the inner prison palace penetrate into the dishes.

Eighteen hot dishes, eighteen cold dishes, eighteen dim sum, pastries and other pasta, and then nine soups and vegetables, nine fresh fruits, nine candied nuts, rich and rich, only Zhu Yijun saw it, and did not feel more attractive than Wang Ronghe made in the morning with eight treasures and eight colors of noodles.

Wang Ronghe's appetite is good, some craft dishes, she usually doesn't order, she always feels wasteful, now His Majesty's birthday, non-essential delicacies of the mountains and seas, not tired of fine, but you can taste it by the way, it can be regarded as a solution to the thoughts.

In the past, the Jiaofang Division performed at a big banquet, mostly based on the miscellaneous dramas changed from the Yuan song, supplemented by singing and dancing, but the queen mother looked good at singing and dancing, and then liked the freshness, and now it is diverse, first the big dance opened, and then there were two festive miscellaneous dramas, and then there was a miscellaneous drama, kicking the bottle on the bowl, and the palace of the temple exclaimed again and again, and then it was Kunqu Opera, and then there was a large-scale song and dance.

is the Empress Dowager Li, this time because of the freshness of the show for a few more quarters of an hour, watching it again and again, Wang Rong and well-behaved, "If the queen mother likes it, she often calls the palace to relieve her boredom." Ryan said happily, "Then I will often come to the palace to visit my mother in the future." ”

"Are you here to visit your mother, or are you here for the drama in your mother's harem?" Shouyang quipped, the house was full of joy. Wang Ronghe encouraged the three princesses to often enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager Li, especially Yongning, among the three sisters, only she was newly married and widowed, depressed and unhappy, Wang Ronghe was afraid that she would drill the tip of the horns, maybe it would be good to come out and walk around often. A golden and noble princess, it's not her fault, and she shouldn't have lived her life so aggrieved and gloomy.

She didn't know that because of her concern, Yongning could still enter the palace with her sisters when she should have died of depression, although it was not pleasant, but she was also comfortable.

When the queen mother left the table with the princesses and concubines, Rongchang, as the eldest daughter of the emperor, took the lead in getting up to pay homage to her father, and after the gift, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhaoyi, the third son of the emperor, and the third princess, also paid their birthday gifts in turn, Zhu Yijun applauded and rewarded them richly, and the prince and princess also left the table.

There was no longer a program on the big stage outside, and Wang Ronghe said to His Majesty with a smile, "Now it's time for Your Majesty to inspect the harem concubines." ”

"Come on." Zhu Yijun said. "If it's boring, don't do it again next time."

The palace concubines either played musical instruments, or showed their singing voices, but no one danced, Wang Ronghe was a little strange, after all, there are really two good dancers here, why didn't they choose to dance? Just waiting for the palace to be humane, "Concubine Zheng dances, and the prosperous world is beautiful." ”

Wang Rong and Cai shook their heads and understood what was going on.

This Concubine Zheng Guifei's courage is indeed extraordinary, and it is no wonder that His Majesty favored her before.

Zheng Guifei was dressed in colorful dance clothes, wearing pearl shirts, long water sleeves, every move, eyebrows and eyes, because it was a solo dance, in the end, thousands of eyes were gathered, Zheng Guifei was seductive, her eyes were lingering, even no matter how good the dancer of the teaching department was, she couldn't dance her charming, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but take a few looks. When the palace concubine saw it, she was also full of emotions in her heart, but the situation was stronger than people, since she didn't dare to cross Concubine Zheng to practice dance, now even the jealous veils are scratched, and it is in vain.

Zhu Yijun looked back at Wang Ronghe after admiring it, but saw that she was more serious than herself, and couldn't help but feel a little appreciative in her heart, why do you appreciate it like this? You are not afraid of Concubine Zheng's deliberateness, I was hooked by her, and I turned my head to go to her Xianfu Palace, to see if you would appreciate it at that time.

Wang Ronghe was aware of this, turned his head to look at His Majesty, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty?" ”

"Concubine Zheng danced very well." Zhu Yijun looked at Concubine Zheng and said, but his eyes were observing Wang Ronghe's expression.

Wang Ronghe only smiled, "I can see that the moves and moves are all wasted, and the dance is not easy, Your Majesty appreciate it well, don't let down Concubine Zheng's hard work." ”

Zhu Yijun felt even more depressed.

Zheng Guifei's final dance freeze frame, but she came up to the throne, leaned forward with her legs crossed, and offered wine with a wine glass in her mouth.

It's been a long time.

Zhu Yijun took the wine glass in his mouth with his hand, put it on the table but didn't drink it, and clapped his hands gently, "The concubines have worked hard." ”

"The concubine is not hard, I wish Your Majesty a long life." Concubine Zheng was a little disappointed when she saw that the result was not what she thought.

"Come on, reward." Zhu Yijun said.

I knew that there were a few concubines who were going to perform, so naturally I was ready to reward them a long time ago, and when the concubines received the reward, Zhu Yijun said. "I am very happy today, you continue to stay here, and you will sing for a long time."

The concubines sent His Majesty back to the palace.

Concubine Zheng knelt in the center of the crowd, like falling into the abyss.
