"yes, I see." Sheng Zhiyao nodded in agreement.

"Alright, it's not early, the banquet is about to begin, I'm here today to see what tricks you have to play."

"Grandpa Huang, just wait and see, I will definitely surprise you." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait." The Emperor stood up as he spoke, turned and walked out of the main hall.

"Grandpa Huang, walk slowly." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and waved his hand to the emperor.

"Zhiyao can't talk like this in the future, if you let those civil officials know, you will inevitably be charged with insulting your concubines." The queen walked over and said softly.

"Don't worry, I know what Grandpa Huang wants, but I still listened to what Grandpa Huang meant, and I won't dare to talk nonsense in the future." Sheng Zhiyao hurriedly said beggingly.

"That's pretty much it." The queen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's almost over, let's go, come with me." ”

The queen took Sheng Zhiyao and came to the door of the main hall.

At this moment, many people had gathered in the main hall, and they were standing in groups of three or five whispering and talking about something.

"The queen has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill voice spread throughout the hall.

The crowd immediately stopped talking and looked in the direction of the door, their eyes eager.

The queen and Sheng Zhiyao walked slowly surrounded by the palace maids, and their figures attracted the attention of countless people as soon as they appeared.

"Get up!" The queen said softly.

When an envoy from Qi Qin saw Sheng Zhiyao, he approached the person next to him and asked in a low voice, "Who is the little girl next to the queen?" ”

"This adult doesn't know, this little girl is amazing, she is the lord of Yongchen County appointed by our emperor, and she is the one who hosted this banquet." A Ministry official next to him replied.

"Oh? So powerful? Will such a small county lord still hold a banquet? The Qi Qin envoy asked curiously.

"Isn't it going to happen, there is not even a table, chair and bench, are you going to ask us to stand and drink?" The envoy of Western Chu scoffed.

"You don't know anything about the envoys of Western Chu, this is a new-style banquet, not only do you not set up tables, chairs and benches, but also have no singing and dancing performances, and you even need to take your own drinks and food, well, look over there." Another official of the Ministry of Rites said proudly, and did not forget to glare at the envoy of Western Chu provocatively.

Seeing this, the envoy of Western Chu suddenly looked ugly, he didn't expect Sheng Zhiyao to make such a ridiculous banquet, which was really annoying.

"Today's banquet is a bit special, in order to entertain the envoys of various countries, we Shang Zhou decided to use this new banquet to show respect, and everyone can enjoy it to the fullest."

At this time, the emperor also came to the top of the main hall.

Everyone shouted in unison: "See the emperor." ”

"Okay, let's all get up, there are no rules for today's banquet, the envoys of various countries are free, there is no need to be restrained, just go and get whatever you want to eat." The Emperor heard the Empress and continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and went to the front of the buffet to get what they wanted.

The ladies of the palace carried trays in their hands, on which were filled with wine glasses and shuttled through the hall, and in front of each table stood two fathers-in-law to ensure that the food in the fire did not burn.

Everyone was so attracted by this strange banquet that they forgot for a moment that it was still in the main hall, and made a loud noise.

"This wine is really good, it's the first time I've drunk such a good wine, it's even more mellow than the white jade elixir of our Qi Qin royal family."

"I really didn't expect Shang Zhou's banquet to be so ingenious, and he also came up with such a fresh way to play."

"It's a good meal, it's very hot."

Everyone was talking about each other, and they were all immersed in novelty.

"Meilan Zhuju, it's time for you to play." Sheng Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction when she saw everyone's reaction, and then instructed the maidservant on the side.

"The slave obeys." Mei Lan Zhuju responded, and Sheng Zhiyao ordered someone to set up a temporary bar in the main hall, which was full of tools and materials needed for bartending.

"Imperial grandmother, imperial grandfather, let's go over there and have a look." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and pulled the emperor and empress towards the bar.

As soon as they arrived, Mei Lan Zhuju began a four-person performance.

Four people lined up on either side of the bar and began to make wine.

Each person held a shaker glass in his hand, two of them kept changing postures with the shaker, and the other two were spitting flames and mixing wine, which seemed simple but very skillful.

Everyone was amazed.

"It's amazing!" Looking at the performance in front of them, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Do you want to try it?" Sheng Zhiyao glanced at the emperor, and then asked.

"Okay, I'd like to try something new, too." The emperor glanced at the wine, then nodded to Sheng Zhiyao and said.

"Lan'er, have a bomber."

"Yes."

Lan'er replied, then poured several different liquids into a wine glass.

Everyone saw that the liquid in the wine glass was divided into two parts, and they all showed puzzled eyes.

"Bombers? The name of this wine is quite novel. A noble lady muttered softly as she looked at the name of the wine.

"Bomber, I'd like to taste what it tastes like." The emperor stretched out his hand to pick up the cup, but Sheng Zhiyao hurriedly stopped: "Grandpa Huang, don't be in a hurry first." ”

The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a puzzled look, only to see that she took out a fire fold and lit the cup of wine, the flames jumped up instantly, and then a rich aroma of wine came to the nostrils, which was intoxicating.

"Wow!" When everyone saw Sheng Zhiyao's actions, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Grandpa Huang, please." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"This ...... How do you drink this? The Emperor said hesitantly as he looked at the burning liquor in front of him.

"It's okay, use this." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and took out a slender bamboo tube and inserted it into the wine glass.

"What is this?" The emperor looked at the strange-shaped bamboo pipe in front of him and asked curiously.

"Grandpa Huang, this thing is called a straw, and when you suck the wine gently, it will go down the straw and into your mouth."

"Oh." The emperor looked at the straw in the cup, then at the burning liquor in the glass, and finally put the bamboo tube to his lips and inhaled gently, only to see the liquor quickly flow into his mouth.

The flame in the cup also sank little by little with the wine to the bottom, and a strong aroma reached the mouth, stimulating the emperor's tongue.

"Good wine!" The emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Zhi Yao, where did you learn this trick?" ”

"I wrote it down from a book I read in my grandfather's study, saying that it was a new type of cocktail, and the taste was very unique, and I thought that the imperial grandfather would like it, so I let my maid add a little skill to show it." Sheng Zhiyao replied.

"Well, yes, it's really special." The Emperor nodded.

"Grandpa Huang, although this thing is delicious, but the wine is too strong, I suggest that Grandpa Huang should drink less."

"Hehe, don't worry, I know the severity." The emperor smiled faintly, the more he liked Sheng Zhiyao in his heart, this girl was really different.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's interest has gradually faded, and they no longer talk about the wine just now, and some are just chatting.

At this time, the queen saw a very strange thing on the side of the meal, and couldn't help but walk over curiously.
