Sure enough, until the emperor and the emperor were late, the palace banquet began in the expectation of everyone, and several princesses who took turns to fight did not have anything to say on Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi, let alone let Xiu Jin Xiu Yi say who he liked and who he hated, and all of them were angry and their faces were blue.

When the emperor and the emperor came over, many people saw that the emperor's eyes were red, obviously he had cried before, which can understand why they didn't come over for a long time, and even the time for the palace banquet was delayed.

Li Xun and Mingcheng sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager to come over before they came, so Li Xun and Mingcheng sat down and waited for a while, and the Empress Dowager came over, and when she saw her son, the Empress Dowager only glanced at it and entered the table, and then she didn't even give a look, obviously because the anger in her heart had not disappeared.

Li Xun was thick-skinned, and he knew that he was doing something wrong, so he sat down next to the Empress Dowager and coaxed quietly, what kind of overnight feud did the mother and son have, the Empress Dowager was angry that Li Xun was unreliable, and she laughed after a few words of coaxing, and when she heard that Li Xun also brought her a gift from outside, she was also full of relief.

However, after seeing the Emperor and the Empress Dowager on the side, the concubines rubbed their veils like a background board.

The Queen Mother squinted at the women who didn't even bother to hide their emotions, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of mockery, now that Li Xunshu's concubines are here, and their positions have been decided, what else is there to fight for?

Even if they really let another son come out, can they still let the emperor give way to their son? Moreover, if you give birth to a son, you can't keep it in the palace, do you still want to go out with your son? Instead of thinking about how to compete for favor, it is better to live in peace.

Anyway, she has two princesses by her side, and she doesn't have to be suspicious of the emperor, she is already very satisfied.

Finally waited for everyone to sit down, Ming Cheng nodded to the chief eunuch who was waiting, and the chief eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, and the palace banquet officially began.

A series of fragrant dishes were served on the table, those cold dishes on the plate were beautiful, but they did not arouse too much interest among the ministers, speaking of which the food wind blowing in the capital over the years is not small, these people have been invited to eat in the past, and they are no longer interested in some ordinary dishes.

But this year's palace has Princess Ningyuan, which is destined to be different from previous years, so those big bowls that are supported by the palace maids with trays and lids are even more attractive, but the bowls are covered too tightly, and even a little fragrance can't float out, and it is very eye-catching before all the dishes are served.

Until the dishes were full, secretly counting, each table was sixteen dishes, not as complicated as the previous prevailing full feast, but ten of the sixteen dishes were served in large bowls, obviously not ordinary frying and cooking, but some mysterious meaning.

It wasn't until all the dishes were served that the emperor nodded again, and the palace maid stepped forward to remove the lid of the big bowl, and the ministers saw the contents of the bowl clearly.

Buddha jumping over the wall is naturally the most famous food in this palace banquet, you don't need to eat it already knows its taste, and the dishes in the remaining big bowl are not as soup and water as the ministers think, but the stew is quite sufficient, the color and fragrance are not worse than the Buddha jumping over the wall.

With the emperor and the emperor, as well as the empress dowager moving chopsticks, the ministers are not so reserved to keep, anyway, when they participated in the palace banquet in the past, there were more shameful than this, and it was not worse this time.

Even the little princes and princesses who sat at the same table with Yu Rou and others couldn't stand the gluttony, and instructed the palace maid to quickly put vegetables into the bowl in front of them, although they have been eating well in the palace, but it is difficult to eat food like this, and the real imperial chef with the highest cooking skills only cares about the diet of the queen mother, the emperor and the queen mother, even the general concubines do not have this treatment, not to mention the few unfavored little princes and princesses.

Especially for the little princes who moved out of the palace, the cooks used in the house were also recruited from outside, and even the worst imperial chefs were not comparable, that is, they were better than ordinary people.

However, the three brothers and sisters and Duan Jin'er should be more reserved, Ling Xiaorou at home on weekdays makes all kinds of delicacies in different ways, and the three brothers and sisters eat badly, although the dishes on the table are delicious, they will not let them forget themselves.

Moreover, although the child is cautious, it is not small, and everyone else is out of shape, doesn't this show that they are outstanding and reserved? At the same time, it can also show that these delicacies that are sought after by others, they are often eaten, but they can't make people look down on Ningyuan Wangfu.

As for the envious and jealous eyes of the princesses and the little princes when they looked at them, they were greatly pleased.

Although the eyes of those princesses looking at Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi are more imperative, they have nothing to be afraid of, can the cow still press his head if he doesn't drink water? Ningyuan Wangfu is not something that anyone can force.

I really have to marry to Ningyuan Wangfu just for a few mouthfuls of food, and they are not uncommon!

And like the three brothers and sisters, Duan Jin'er has not lost his mind for food, and he has been raised by the Empress Dowager these days, and the food is carefully made by the imperial chefs.

Occasionally eat what you like, and remember to ask the palace maid to clip some of the three brothers and sisters, which can be said to be rare and sensible.

But her calm appearance was a little distressed in Mingcheng's eyes, looking at her eating such a delicacy and still being cautious, only Duan Jin'er didn't dare to move chopsticks in front of a group of princesses and princesses.

Thinking that Duan Jin'er seemed to love fish, he called the chief eunuch and pointed to a large bowl of stewed fish on the table and brought it over.

Although Duan Jin'er has eaten a lot of delicious food here these days, unlike others who have no self-control over food, she still eats deliciously.

Although she should not have been at this table because of her father's official position, she was deeply loved by the Queen Mother, and these princesses in the palace were kind and pleasant when they saw her on weekdays, so no one would embarrass her because of her identity when she ate at the same table.

It's Princess Yaxian, who has always been not very gregarious, at most she turned a blind eye to her, and she was designed by Yu Rou to suffer a loss when she was in the Queen Mother's place, and even hated the Queen Mother with her, and she didn't speak coldly to Duan Jin'er, which was relatively mature for her.

It's just that this group of children is not very old, and the two eldest princesses are about the same age as her, and she is really embarrassed to rob the children, so she was misunderstood by Mingcheng because she didn't dare to use chopsticks.

When the palace maid brought the plate of fish to Duan Jin'er, and learned that it was rewarded by the emperor and did not need her to thank her, Duan Jin'er glanced at Ming Cheng, and saw that Ming Cheng was also smiling at her, his face was red, and he buried his head in picking up the fish.

The princess who was close to heard that this fish was appreciated by the emperor Duan Jin'er, but they were very envious, and they also wanted to see the emperor's brother be closer and closer, so that when they picked a horse for them in the future, the emperor's brother could plan more for them.

But the emperor's brother is not close to anyone, they just go to play with the emperor's brother, and the eunuchs around the emperor's brother are all stopped, they really don't understand why the emperor's brother is so busy, and they don't have time to talk to them.

Now that I see that the emperor's brother has rewarded Duan Jin'er with a fish, but there is no one else, my heart is inevitably sour, especially Princess Yaxian, she has always been domineering, and she has always said the same thing among her brothers and sisters.

At that time, he raised his eyebrows, pointed to the fish in front of Duan Jin'er and said, "This palace looks at this fish very well, bring it to this palace." ”

The palace maid was embarrassed, maybe the other princesses and little princes were just grabbing vegetables to eat, and they didn't notice, but the palace maids who had been watching the six roads didn't know that this fish was rewarded by the emperor, or only for Miss Duan, how could they dare to move the fish rewarded by the emperor?

As soon as she shouted 'princess' in embarrassment, Yaxian angrily slapped her chopsticks on the table, "What? This princess still can't stop you? Isn't it just a dish, others can eat it, and this princess can't eat it? ”

Seeing that Yaxian's voice was getting louder and louder, Duan Jin'er was afraid that things would get bigger, so she smiled and said to the palace maid: "This sister, since the princess wants to eat, please ask my sister to serve it to the princess." ”

Although the palace maid was still a little dare, she looked at Yaxian's angry eyes, and thought that a palace maid had just died next to her before, although it was said that the palace maid threw herself into the lake, but who couldn't guess what was going on in private? Princess Yaxian is known as a notoriety in the palace, where does the palace maid dare to offend this young but ruthless princess.

tremblingly, he brought the fish bowl to Yaxian, and before he could put it on the table, he was glared at by Yaxian, "Why is it that this princess is not as effective as a young lady from a petty official's family?" ”

After speaking, as soon as she raised her hand, a bowl of stewed fish that was still a little hot was buckled on the palace maid's face, and the palace maid forgot all about her frightened screams, and quickly knelt down.

But the fish soup was spilled on the princess frangipani next to her, and the newly worn green brocade clothes were abolished like this, the palace maid didn't dare to scream, but the princess frangipani dared, and she screamed quite loudly, and the poignant moment made everyone look over.

Especially Ming Cheng, who has been paying attention to this side, gave the chief eunuch a look, and the chief eunuch asked people to quietly come over and pull a palace maid over to ask everything.

Mingcheng was very unhappy in his heart, he always remembered the hatred for Princess Yaxian's mother and daughter, but the time was not ripe, he couldn't do anything to them, so he thought that if they were still honest, he would let them go, and when Princess Yaxian was old in the future, he would find a bitter cold place to send her to kiss, who would think that she not only didn't know how to restrain herself, but also provoked the queen he had just chosen, if she didn't kill her spirit, would she still be able to pretend to be in the palace in the future?

But the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both here, and it is really not good for him to directly order severe punishment for Yaxian.

I didn't go to see Li Xun, after all, it was his daughter, and it was inevitable that he would be biased. Ming Cheng looked directly at the Empress Dowager, but he knew that the Empress Dowager had long been dissatisfied with Yaxian, and Duan Jin'er was recognized as the person covered by the Empress Dowager, and was bullied by Yaxian, even if the Empress Dowager would not severely punish Yaxian for this matter, she would not let her feel too good.
