Since a few days ago, the emperor has given the ministers a daily reward, although the dishes have been cold when they come out of the palace and then delivered to the palace, but these are the emperor's rewards, and they are the emperor's favor for anyone.

Not to mention that even if it is cold, these dishes are all delicious and people are reluctant to put it down, and the ladies still have some expectations for coming to Yangyi Hall for a banquet today.

All the ladies sat down according to their identities, and the palace maids rushed in, and suddenly the entire side hall was full of all kinds of dishes, among which there were also ladies who had participated in the palace banquet in the past to introduce the dishes to the ladies who participated in the palace banquet for the first time.

Since the princess of Ningyuan became famous all over the world, the dishes of the palace banquet have also undergone great changes, many of them cannot be eaten in the restaurant outside, and even if some can be eaten, the taste is still much worse, so aside from the purpose of the queen mother, the palace banquet is still very expected.

Duan Jin'er was taken by the Empress Dowager, although the dishes were very fragrant and the palace maids were very attentive, but the little girl still abided by the rules, and no matter how delicious the dishes were, they were very satisfied.

When she first ate the dishes made by Ling Xiaorou, she couldn't help but eat too much, and although the palace banquet was not made by Ling Xiaorou herself, it was all learned from Ling Xiaorou, and the imperial chefs put a lot of thought into it, but it was even more delicious than Ling Xiaorou's cooking, this little girl was able to withstand the fragrance of the food, and it seemed that she was also determined.

The more the Empress Dowager looked at it, the more she liked it, and she thought that she would find a few excellent aunts to teach this little girl well, even if she was a child who was not loved by her own mother, but as long as she said a word, she would not be able to marry badly in the future.

The ladies praised the good skills of the imperial chef while eating, and the queen mother also had face, and when she was happy, she introduced a few dishes she liked to eat, and even the stories behind these dishes could be told, of course, this was also learned from the booklet sold by Ling Xiaorou, and after being praised by the ladies, the atmosphere of the palace banquet was even more enthusiastic.

The Empress Dowager suddenly changed her words, pointed to the imperial meal on the table and said: "This is also thanks to the conservatory built in Ningyuan Wangfu a few years ago, otherwise in winter, how can there be so many fresh dishes to eat, but it is a pity that there is too much glass to build a conservatory, and that thing is too expensive, otherwise everyone will build such a conservatory at home, and there is no need to worry about eating vegetables in winter." ”

The ladies said again and again: "Isn't it? If it weren't for the fact that the glass is too expensive, and the concubines have also built one in the house, it is not easy to eat a green vegetable leaf in winter, and the family usually has dried radish vegetables in addition to cabbage curd, if it is not for the empress dowager's sympathy for the concubines, I am afraid that if you want to eat a green leafy vegetable you have to wait until the beginning of spring. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "In fact, glass is not as expensive as you think, a few days ago, the mourning family chatted with Princess Ningyuan, and now Weicheng Mansion can make glass, although it is also a precious thing, but it is not so expensive to buy from the outside, this is not mourning, let Princess Ningyuan take out the glass making method, and I am thinking that Ming'er will make glass so that you can also build a conservatory, and then live in a house with glass windows, but it is much brighter than a house with a window screen." ”

When the ladies heard this, they all exclaimed: "Princess Ningyuan handed over the glass making method?" ”

It's not that they are making a fuss, it's really that the glass is too valuable, and according to the Queen Mother, the glass actually made is not as expensive as imagined, doesn't it mean that as long as you master the production method of glass, it is a steady stream of gold? It was hard to imagine that Princess Ning Yuan would be stupid enough to hand over the Empress Dowager as soon as she asked for it.

The Empress Dowager said proudly: "If you want to say that Rou'er, this girl is very sad about the family, you also know that glass can make money, but the mourning family will hand it over without saying a word as soon as the mourning family says that this girl will be handed over without saying a word, and also said that if the mourning family is boring in the palace, they will simply make glass and sell it, and they can also add some fat powder money to the ladies in the palace, not to mention that selling glass makes more money, and they are replaced with fat powder and wiped on the girls, but it is not like pasting the wall, so it is said that the mourning family is also the queen mother, and she is not a person who can take care of things, where can you make glass and sell it." ”

What the Empress Dowager said seemed to be unintentional, but the ladies were all open in their hearts, because the men in the family were all officials of the Great Yan Kingdom, and they never cared about making a living at home.

It's just that the shops are all making and losing, if it's really a profitable business, how can there be so much? Although each family looks quite beautiful on the surface, it is not easy to make money in private, and they all live a careful life.

Hearing the Empress Dowager say this, she was a little tempted, and with more money, the use of the house could be more relaxed, and she was confident in front of her own men.

It's just that the glass production method is Princess Ningyuan's, although it is handed over to the Empress Dowager, but they don't care about the Empress Dowager to ask for it.

What's more, if you move your own mind, how can others not move your mind? Raising his eyes, he swept over, and sure enough, most of the ladies had bright and bright eyes, as if they had seen a mountain of gold, and they were all wondering how to find out how to make glass from the Empress Dowager.

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she raised her glass, "Look at the old fool of the mourning family, why are you talking about this, the mourning family asked you to come over today, just thinking that since the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace has not held a serious palace banquet, and seeing that a year has passed, it is rare for us to get together and have fun." ”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager drank all the wine in the cup and praised: "The special brew of Ningyuan Wangfu is really extraordinary, and the mourning family feels good about this wine, so Ming'er asked Rou'er to take out the recipe for this wine, and we can drink it vigorously in the future." ”

The palace maid smiled: "The queen mother loves to laugh, this wine is good, but the slave maid listens to the materials for brewing this wine is not easy to find, it is said that brewing this palace special brew, not only to use hundreds of years of snow lotus, hundreds of years of ginseng, even the rest of the medicinal materials are also expensive, and the process of brewing wine is even more complicated to make people tired to look at it, rather than brewing it by themselves, it is better to wait for the palace to send, and save money and effort, how good!" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "I don't know how much benefit you have received from Rou'er, but you are planning for her, is it true that the mourning family will be cheeky and want to pull over when you see the good ones?" ”

The palace maid smiled and said nothing, and the ladies also laughed with her, but they all understood the taste in their hearts, and wanted to come to the empress dowager to let them enter the palace to have a banquet this time, the purpose is actually to make glass, right? Otherwise, there is no need to mention it at the feast.

Although it is not clear what the purpose of the Empress Dowager is, maybe she really wants to add a few rouge money to the harem as she said before, but obviously the Empress Dowager did not continue to talk about it, just waiting for someone to pick up the topic and continue.

But as far as the eye can see, the ladies in the hall are also sitting in three piles with the factions divided by their own men, what if they propose to ask the Empress Dowager for the secret recipe for glass, and others will also participate?

If it's the same faction, it's okay, and everyone is not afraid of causing trouble when they do business together, but if other factions also join the competition, it is difficult to guarantee that the factional dispute will not be led to the palace banquet.

The ladies inevitably thought more, and no one took the topic of the Empress Dowager anymore, although the Empress Dowager was anxious to wait for someone to talk, but her face was not easy to show, and she just persuaded the ladies to drink.

Drinking and drinking, the Empress Dowager somehow spilled the wine in the cup with a wave of her sleeves, and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to take a handkerchief to wipe it, and after wiping it, the Empress Dowager smiled and asked the ladies to sit down for a while, and she took the palace maid down to change clothes.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager left, the ladies all discussed, and sure enough, they all had the heart to inquire about the glass making method from the Empress Dowager, although there were many disagreements between the people of the three factions on weekdays, but the interests were current, and the attitude was surprisingly consistent, even if there was a slight dispute, under the hint of several high-ranking ladies, a consensus was finally reached.

While changing her clothes, the Empress Dowager asked the palace maid to listen, and when she learned that all the ladies had finally reached a consensus, she slowly returned to the front, and did not mention the matter of glass, but continued to drink.

Sure enough, the ladies couldn't sit still, they were still looking forward to the Empress Dowager mentioning the glass again, so they could follow the topic of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager didn't mention a word, how could they speak? A consensus has just been reached that it is all about the will of glass.

The palace banquet is coming to an end, the Empress Dowager still didn't mention the glass, and the originally delicious drooling palace banquet was not fragrant this time, until the Empress Dowager was ready to disperse, and the ladies couldn't help it anymore, and they went to see the most prominent of these ladies.

Among them, the wives of the left and right ministers, as well as several handsome wives who hold military power.

In the end, this heavy responsibility still fell on the left and right ministers, although these two ladies look affectionate on weekdays, but because the men in the family represent the 'worried country' faction and the other represents the 'royalist faction', they are the biggest political enemies of the other party, and the relationship is not as close as it seems, but at this time, the ladies looked at it like this, and they all put aside those personal grievances and got up together.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang raised her glass and said: "The concubines borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, thank the Empress Dowager for the banquet today, otherwise it would be difficult for the concubines to taste such fresh and delicious dishes in this big winter." ”

Mrs. Right also raised her glass and said: "What Mrs. Left Prime Minister said is very true, but it's a pity that after today, when I think of today's palace banquet, I don't want to spoil people." ”

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "This mourning family is fine, although there is a conservatory in Ningyuan Palace, but there are not many dishes in it, although there is no need to supply major restaurants now, but even the palace is not enough, you many families, mourning family can not open this mouth." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang also laughed, "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, even the concubines are not so thick-skinned, if you say that when you saw Ningyuan Wangfu build a conservatory, the concubine's mansion also wanted to follow the construction, but when you inquire about the expensive glass, if you want to build a conservatory, you have to live with your pants belt, it's really not worth it, I thought when the glass was not so expensive, let's build one, but the price of this glass is high, and this is also a good thing." We adults are better, and it is really distressing to see that the children in the family do not like to eat every winter. ”
