In just a quarter of an hour, seven or eight strong female officials carried a ten-meter-long oval sandalwood table in the center of the hall, and placed a rattan chair inlaid by Zhang Baoyu on the table, which was the special seat of Her Majesty the Queen, and then placed a few chairs on the left and right sides in turn, but they were accompanied by the prime ministers and the lord of Yunyang County, who came to feast on the three Tibetan masters and apprentices, and the officials of other grades dispersed and were not allowed to sit down.

After the chairs were arranged, the female officials bowed and retreated, and a group of colorful palace ladies came forward one after another with various dishes, and placed a huge and expressive flower shape on the spacious tabletop. After this toss along the way, the master and apprentice of Sanzang are indeed tired and hungry, and at this moment, listening to the sound of the bells of the palace ladies placing the dishes and chopsticks, they can't help but arouse the roundworms in their stomachs, and sing the empty city plan in their stomachs.

The ladies set up the dishes and chopsticks, retreated to the back of each position in an orderly manner, and prepared to serve the guests to eat. There are a total of sixteen large dishes on the table, eight small dishes, plus three possibly fruit platters, all covered with small bowls to keep the dishes hot, it is impossible to tell what the dish is, but the aroma of the vegetables is constantly wafting out from the cracks of the bowls, soft and puffy, and people can't help but make their appetite move and salivate.

Sun Wukong snorted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if my grandson is not mistaken, nine out of ten bowls of dishes on this table have chicken, you can imagine how much Her Majesty hates roosters." ”

Her Majesty laughed, nodded and exclaimed: "Sun Shengni's sensitive nose, this is indeed a table of all-chicken feast, the rooster is the great enemy of my daughter's country, everyone gets it, how can the widow not hate it? ”

Wen Tianshu sighed with compassion on his face: "Just because of the mistake of a chicken, his entire clan is classified as the public enemy of the world, and everyone sees it and kills it, isn't it too biased?"

Her Majesty was embarrassed when she heard this, and said: "Wen Shengni really has a compassionate feeling, which makes the widow admire, but such words are too paranoid, and the chicken is used to eat, although it is listed as a public enemy of the country, it is just to save our stomachs, and the status has not changed in the slightest, but on the contrary, let the imperial chef develop a table full of whole chicken feasts, isn't it a blessing for us?"

These seemingly reasonable words, hearing that Prime Minister Zuo Ban seemed to have eaten some kind of elixir and jade dew, smacking his mouth, Tao Taoran exclaimed: "Your Majesty's words are incisive and unique, and they are beyond the reach of your subordinates. ”

Tianshu knew that such a concept had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even if he said it tens of millions of times, he could not change the miserable fate of his daughter Guoda rooster, so he had to smile bitterly, pretending to be free and easy: "Hehe, it's just some livestock, but it seems that the poor nuns are too obsessed, and they really should be beaten." ”

Her Majesty laughed and said boldly: "It's okay, it's okay, Saint Ni's move is just out of the monk's compassion and compassion, and he has the intention to turn the widow away. Come on, come, let's take a seat, and when the food is cold, it won't taste good, sisters, quickly remove these covered plates, so that you can teach the saints and nuns to eat. ”

The palace ladies took the promise, stretched out their hands and removed the plate, and in an instant, the room was full of incense, which made the stomach of the already hungry Sanzang master and apprentice growl, and immediately sat on the chair and stretched out his chopsticks to eat.

When they sat down to take a closer look, the master and apprentice were dumbfounded, only to see that the table was full of dazzling dishes, red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, black peppers, and white powders were curry. A plate of Kung Pao chicken is chopped peppers, and there is no half-pulled green pepper in the fried chicken shredded with green peppers, and all the big red peppers are used, and even the fruit bowl is full of mustard, so spicy, it is like swallowing a piece of red-hot coal, and the mouth is full of hot and spicy, which is very uncomfortable. The archmage was so spicy that he couldn't stand it, he took a sip of tea with a bitter face, and almost didn't spray it on the ground, obediently, this tea is also super spicy eight-treasure tea, which doesn't make people live?

The holy monk has the heart not to eat, but the palace lady who has no choice but to cloth the vegetables is too enthusiastic, and he vigorously puts vegetables on the plate, the holy monk is hindered by his identity as a man and a woman, and he is afraid that he will be helped, and he really can't say that he is really bitter, and he can't really eat it, Her Majesty the Queen and the prime minister are like the invigilator and staring at it tightly, if you don't want to eat, not only will you not give face, but also the suspicion of looking down on the cooking skills of the imperial chef, Sanzang is really afraid that the imperial chef will be like in the advertisement, and come out with a kitchen knife to fight with himself.

Wukong and the others were not much better, although they shook their hands like a pu fan, they couldn't stand Gong E's efforts to pick up vegetables, and the three masters and apprentices really couldn't, so they had to eat a plate hard, so spicy that their throats and eyes smoked, coughed nonstop, and almost didn't cry on the spot. Seeing that the palace ladies were about to pick up vegetables again, the master and apprentice were shocked, hurriedly turned the dishes over, and even said that they were full, and this was the end of the matter.

Her Majesty knew that they could not eat spicy food, and could not help but laugh secretly, and said: "Saint Ni, it is not that the food is not to be tasted, why do you eat so little? ”

"No, no, it's that the food is too rich, and the poor nun eats too little, and she can't eat so much, and you see, this belly is bulging out, and she can't be fuller anymore. In order not to eat the spicy dead man's meal, Wen Tianshu forced a smile and burst into tears, he was really dumb and couldn't say if he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis.

"Oh, in that case, the widow is not reluctant, I don't know if Sun Shengni has eaten well, is this about to set off?" Her Majesty smiled and said unhurriedly.

The monkey is so spicy at the moment, where can he take care of anything else, he only grinned, and gasped: "Don't be in a hurry, exercising immediately after a meal will affect digestion, my grandson is used to drinking tea before leaving, and besides, I have to settle my master well, right?"

"Well, this is also true, come here, take all the saints and nuns to the Golden Pavilion to rest, serve the best eight treasure tea, and don't neglect the distinguished guests from afar. Her Majesty nodded and waved to Gong'e.

"No, no, Lao Sun is used to drinking light after meals, so you don't need to be so troublesome, just tea and fresh water. When the monkey heard that he was going to eat spicy food again, he was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, and he hurriedly waved his hand.

"In this way, Sun Shengni also please take care of himself, Wen Shengni will stay for the time being, and the widow will talk about the customs of the Tang Dynasty Baoguo, so the kingdom and my daughter country are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the name is still like thunder, even if the widow has the heart to pay tribute, but it is blocked by thousands of miles of roads, and can only look at the ocean and sigh, fortunately all the saints and Nibao are here today, the widow is overjoyed, and the jade toe must be temporarily stayed, and I can fulfill my long-cherished wish. Her Majesty stood up and saluted respectfully.

Tianshu was so spicy that he was in tears, how could he have the heart to talk to Her Majesty about the customs and customs, as soon as he lowered his head, tears flowed down, and he instantly flowed all over his face: "Alas, if you don't listen to it, you can only hear it from Her Majesty, but it arouses countless nostalgia in Tianshu's heart, thinking that I follow the master to take the true scriptures in the west, sleep all night along the way, eat and sleep in the open air, but I don't know if the abbot in the temple is in good health, whether the monarch is healthy, at this moment, I think about it, it is really painful, I can't help it, but I lost my ugliness in front of Her Majesty, and I really deserve death." ”

Seeing that Tianshu was crying sincerely, Her Majesty the Queen felt the same way, sighed, and comforted him repeatedly: "Saint Niche should not be too sad and hurt his body, but it is indeed a widow who should not let Saint Ni touch the scene, and ask Saint Ni to temporarily collect his tears and go to the Golden Pavilion to rest together, and when tomorrow morning passes, the widow will definitely come to visit in person." ”

As soon as the words came out, Wen Tianshu was like being amnestied, and he hurriedly got up and ran out with Sanzang, and Gong'e behind him shouted loudly: "Shengni, this is the palace compound, don't run around, get lost." The Jinting Pavilion is on the periphery of the Imperial City, and if you are not familiar with the place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find, so let the maid take you there. ”

Seeing that the banquet had ended, the county lord of Yunyang got up to give a salute, and said long live: "Your Majesty, Yunyang has brought your guests to disturb Your Majesty's feast, and it is time to retire." By the way, the ministers bought foreign melons, fruits and vegetables from the hands of Shengni, all of which are rare things that have not been seen in a hundred years, and the ministers have tasted them on their behalf, and they are really sweet and delicious, mild and palatable, and they dare not hide them privately, and they have come to offer them to Her Majesty the Queen. ”

Her Majesty smiled slightly, and praised her chin: "It's really difficult for you to be filial, the widow is so moved, come to someone, reward 10,000 taels of silver, in order to show the county lord's loyalty and patriotism." ”

The county lord of Yunyang had a pale face, and he prostrated on the ground in fear, kowtowed and accused: "Your Majesty, your subordinates sincerely pay tribute to melons and fruits, and there is no selfishness, and please ask Your Majesty to take back your life, don't insult Yunyang's loyalty with gold and silver." ”

Her Majesty shook her head silently, and said with great emotion: "Yunyang, your loyalty can be learned from the world and the world, the sun and the moon are bright, how can the widow not know? ”

Her Majesty said this, and then shirked it was disrespectful, and the county lord of Yunyang was helpless, so he trembled with excitement, and couldn't stop kowtowing: "Thank you Your Majesty for the reward, to meet such a bright monarch, even if Yunyang is full of liver and brain, he will not give up." ”
