Chapter 2 The Palace Banquet The name of a hundred flowers
It's the origin! No, no, no, Jin Yaoguo's surname is Yuan, so that's Yuanqi. The flowers can't really be seen through the silk tent.
Yuan Zhen, the general of the prince's guards, was wearing dark armor and holding a cold light sword, so he was not majestic. After stepping forward to ask Yuan Qi, he said loudly: "On the emperor's order, welcome the princess of Baihua into the city, and no one will stand still!" ”
The people got up and gave way. The nobles of various teahouses and restaurants did not dare to hide their faces anymore to see the excitement, and they rushed up one after another, bowing to the prince one after another, "The ministers are waiting to see His Royal Highness the Prince"
After bowing and getting the order, they all retreated to the side.
was greeted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person, what kind of face this was, and the scholars from all walks of life couldn't help but secretly elevate the identity of the hundred flowers.
Yuan Qi dismounted, walked to the front of the silk Roman car in the midst of everyone's scrutiny, and unloaded his blade: "Princess Baihua of the Great Wei Dynasty, all the way to the dust, must be very tired, Lone has been presented to Your Majesty, the princess is allowed to go to the royal post station to rest, and then enter the palace in the evening"
Is this prince so interested in this princess?
Rui Zhu had a very good look, stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave will lead the princess to the royal station, rest for a while, and then enter the palace to thank you."
Although the people in the palace are not allowed to go out of the palace gate, there are indeed many ears and eyes outside the palace.
For a time, Jiaofang Palace, Weirui Hall, Xiaoxiang Hall... All the palace ladies got the news.
Wei Rui Tang
Concubine Xian is hostile to the queen, but her children don't please Your Majesty, which is like Yuan Qi! His Majesty is full of joy when he looks at Yuan Qi with a cold face and a cold face, and his children are desperately trying to please him, and he can't look down on it.
Yuan Yu is the daughter of Concubine Xian, and she is also the eldest princess of Jin Yao, she is beautiful and moving, and her figure is enchanting, and it can be seen that she has been maintained by Concubine Xian.
"Oh, my good mother, frowning plainly, isn't it Yuan Cen's kid who is angry with you again" Yuan Yu didn't know anything outside the palace, thinking that his younger brother who was selling literature all day long was angry with his mother, so he asked.
Concubine Xian saw her daughter's peerless appearance, so she felt more comfortable, what are those in the palace arrogant, the queen has a good son, she can't fight, but when it comes to daughters, who in the palace can compare with her daughter. Concubine Yu's daughter is handsome, and compared with her own gardenia, it is a big deal. Stretched his brows and lamented: "Your father is biased, no, there is news from outside, saying that His Majesty authorized the princess of Wei to rest and then enter the palace to face the saint, if nothing else, but your father and emperor only allowed it for the sake of Yuan Qi, who has such an honor!" Is it her queen's son? ”
The conversation couldn't stop as soon as it began. Yuan Yi didn't care, his royal brother was really good-looking, if he was his father, he was afraid that he would like his son, where would he think of his elegant and average-looking brother.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion
Concubine Yu's appearance is average, but she also has a place in the harem, which shows that her mind and strategy are not simple.
The maid stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the princess sent someone back, Mrs. Ninghou and her sisters are not harmonious, and the prince treats the amiable Princess Baihua is not ordinary"
The old lady beside Concubine Yu waved her hand to let the maid retreat, and said in a sharp voice: "Niangniang, you have prepared a gift for Princess Dawei, but you want to send it to the royal post now?" ”
Concubine Yu thought about it carefully: "No, people have serious mothers-in-law, and the current queen has not yet announced it, and the palace will give gifts in advance, and the queen's face will be folded." You will add more gifts to the preparation, make the gifts more valuable, and after the queen announces the meeting, inquire about the movements of the concubine, if she also gives gifts, send them with her, don't be earlier than her, she is a strange person who will think wildly, if she doesn't send it, don't delay here, send it early"
Mama had to be ordered to step back and start preparing for the gift.
The harem should be a good show again.
Jinyao is located in the south, and it is a blessed place for the gods by the mountains and rivers. This is especially true of the Jinyao Palace, the imperial garden is carefully cared for by the palace people every year, and the flowers are in full bloom and beautiful.
His Majesty has an order to set up a stage in the imperial garden to prepare for the envoys of the Great Wei. Half a month ago, the father-in-law of the chief steward led the palace people to set it up. In order to be ingenious, he also invited a folk opera troupe and a craft master, just for Emperor Bo to smile.
Who in the palace is not a human spirit, who can not be unsatisfied with the banquet held by the fiancée of the crown prince, and the father-in-law in charge and the minister who supervises the affairs can't take out their hearts.
The imperial garden is built next to the Jiaofang Palace, and the entrance is a rare and exotic flower, dignified, magnificent, enchanting, and delicate, all of which are integrated under the design of the gardening master. The pebble floor is not unusual, and it is surprising that every nine round pebbles are carved with a lifelike jasper inlay, which is very luxurious. Fragrant flowers are planted on both sides of the stone road, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating along the way. The most noteworthy thing is the structure in the center of the Imperial Garden. The center is not alone, but is connected like jade pieces together, the joints are embellished with treasures, and the gaps are filled with living water. The water moves slightly, and the golden carp frolicks. These artificial traces are quite obvious, but they are not deliberate. The carved beams and paintings in the imperial garden are man-made, but they are combined with rockeries and strange stones, which is a great workman!
The Imperial Garden is already beautiful, and the builders have worked hard to build the platform. The center of the 99 canal was built with jade. The graceful dancing girl danced on the jade platform, how intoxicating. The carp frolic place is also carved with jade lanterns, and the candles are hidden, which can not be extinguished when standing in the water, and the golden carp at night is flexibly presented.
Singers and musicians all take flowers and trees as tents, and the light of fireflies is lit under the trees, and the night singing blends into the scenery and the moonlight, but I am afraid that there is no one in the sky!
Baihua didn't know that these people had been thinking about it for so long in order to welcome themselves, so they only stayed in the post station and looked at the local customs of Jin Yao.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Jin Yao sent his attendants to send glass soft cakes and sweet meat soup, saying that it was a new trick made in the palace, and asked the princess to try it first" Rui Zhu heard the name fresh, and thought that it was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, so he hurriedly sent it to the princess.
Baihuaben was in a daze, and when he heard the name of the food, he looked at the cage drawer in confusion: "Liuli? Sweet broth? , is this Jin Yaoren's food like this? That's it, taste! "When I close my eyes, I feel like a hero.
As soon as the cage drawer is opened, the mist will disperse, which shows the care of the preparation, and the heat will not be bad when you taste it at this time. The glass is as transparent as the utensils of the Western Regions, and it is eaten with chopsticks, so that it is soft, but not rotten, and it is shaky, which can be seen that although it is soft but strong. After tasting Baihua, I realized that the original pastry could still have such a taste, sweet enough, but not greasy, and there was a feeling of coldness when tasting it, but this was clearly just taken out of the hot oven!
"Rui Zhu! This! Hey, it is worthy of being the first country, and there are so many levels of food cooking methods, which is amazing! "Baihua enjoys the deliciousness but is emotional.
Rui Zhu was amused, every time the princess ate these delicious foods, she was extremely intoxicated, like a stupid son of the landlord's family, but Rui Zhu never dared to say this, otherwise the princess would definitely cover her face for several days and refuse to let her look.
Sweet meat soup, made of pig fat foam and yam, boiled carefully, and then mixed with sweet soup. Although the taste is sweet and greasy, it is very novel.
