Chapter 298: It Turns Out That Xiao Jiu Likes This?
Chinese New Year's Eve is Xuanyuan Que's birthday.
The emperor hasn't given Xiao Jiu a birthday for several years.
Although there was a palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, it would definitely be lively, but he still wanted to prepare a special one for Xiao Jiu, otherwise it felt like just holding a palace banquet and not celebrating his birthday.
The emperor personally went to Xuanyang Palace to ask Xuanyuan Que to see if he had any gifts he wanted, but he didn't expect him to be there.
asked the eunuchs of Xuanyang Palace, and after learning that the Queen Mother called Xuanyuan Que to go to Cining Palace for dinner, he also followed.
When I came to Cining Palace, I found that the prince was also there.
The emperor couldn't help but be sour: "The queen mother is eccentric, and now she doesn't invite her sons to dinner." ”
The Queen Mother gave him a blank look: "There are so many women in the harem rushing to accompany the emperor to dinner, where is the mourning family embarrassed to disturb the emperor." ”
In the smoky harem, the Queen Mother was angry when she came back.
The emperor knew that he was at a loss, sat down, and quickly changed the topic: "Xiao Jiu, Chinese New Year's Eve is your eighth birthday, what do you want this year?" ”
Xuanyuan Que: "I want a will." ”
The emperor was surprised, he thought that he would say that there was nothing he wanted, after all, among so many sons, Xiao Jiu simply had no desires.
The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince also looked at him in surprise.
"What will?"
Xuanyuan Que: "The county lord of Sanssouci is from a humble background, and he doesn't understand the rules of etiquette, I'm afraid that entering the palace will inadvertently offend the master in the palace, and my father can exempt her from asking for peace in front of the palace?" ”
The Emperor: "."
That's it?
He thought he wanted something.
Excuse her from asking for peace in front of the palace, which means that she doesn't have to salute when she sees the emperor.
You don't need to see the emperor, and you don't need to see other people.
After all, there is no one in this world who is more noble than the emperor.
Xuanyuan Que doesn't need to say goodbye.
However, Xuanyuan Que didn't ask people for peace since he was a child, and when he was a child, his grandmother didn't ask for peace no matter how he taught him, and he didn't speak.
The emperor simply exempted him from asking for peace.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Yes, that child is innocent, and he must not be used to the rules of asking for peace when he sees someone in the palace. ”
The son begged him for the first time, and the queen mother also protected each other in the same way.
The emperor didn't send a little girl to say goodbye, he said directly: "It's not a big deal, it's exempt!" This is not a birthday gift, what else does Xiao Jiu want? ”
Xuanyuan Que: "Gold, silver and jewelry are fine." ”
Prince: "."
He glanced at the little man who was as cold as the sun and moon in the sky, and did not stain a trace of fireworks in the world, when did he also want such a mundane thing?
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, when did the emperor become interested in yellow and white things?
This kid has been on a trip to the people, and he really knows the suffering of the people!
Down-to-earth!
It's finally like a person!
Love gold, silver and jewelry, love money is a normal person!
The emperor asked again, "Is there anything you want to eat on your birthday?" ”
"Rabbit meat, lamb, and some rabbit, goat-shaped desserts."
The palace banquet is prepared with delicacies from the mountains, and rabbit meat and mutton are not so ordinary.
But the girl was uncomfortable not eating rabbit or mutton every meal, and she had to have one of the two, and if she didn't have both, she would have to eat a rabbit-shaped snack or candy.
She hadn't tried the food made by the imperial chef, but she could try it when she took this opportunity.
The Emperor: "."
He just asked casually, this son has never been serious about appetite.
From childhood to adulthood, you can eat whatever you want, and every meal is rationed, no matter how good or rare the food is, you will never eat more.
You have absolutely no idea what he likes to eat.
Sure enough, it is never a bad thing for children to be released and raised!
The Queen Mother smiled secretly, where is what Xiao Jiu wants, what he wants to eat, this is clearly what Xuan Bao loves.
The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Que and found that he still didn't have a bite of food, so he didn't eat it.
Could it be that he had never eaten rabbit meat and mutton in the palace before, and only found out that rabbit meat and mutton were his favorites outside?
However, there was no rabbit or lamb on the table, but a plate of dim sum in the shape of rabbit ears.
The emperor took a piece with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
Xuanyuan Que: "."
He doesn't have a sweet tooth at all.
Still, he ate it.
It's so sweet, it's so greasy! That flower must like it.
Xuanyuan Que said: "It's not sweet enough, it can be a little sweeter." ”
A little sweeter, that flower pleases.
The crown prince was even more surprised, it was the first time that the imperial brother commented on a meal.
He didn't like sweets very much, but he wanted to know why the royal brother liked it, so he couldn't help but also sandwich a piece of dim sum and tasted it: sweet!
This piece of dim sum is a pound of sugar, right?
It turns out that the royal brother loves to eat such sweet?
Although it was so sweet that he wanted to vomit, the prince still finished eating it with a calm expression.
As the crown prince, he can't show his preferences.
Of course, you can't waste food, no matter how unpalatable it is, you have to eat it all.
When the emperor saw that his two sons liked it, they both said that his son's joy was like that of his father, and the emperor suspected that he would also like to eat.
Clamped a piece and took a bite!
The emperor is petrified!
Can you spit it out?
In the end, the emperor drank two pots of tea before eating that piece of dim sew!
It's so sweet, Xiao Jiu still doesn't think it's sweet enough?
It turns out that Xiao Jiu likes this kind of ?!!!
It seems that the palace banquet has to ask the imperial chef to prepare some beets for Xiao Jiu alone.
The Queen Mother smiled and looked at the three fathers and sons, who obviously didn't like sweets, and they all ate the snacks.
This snack was made by Yuhua, and it was specially made for Xiao Jiu to send out of the palace for Xuanbao to taste, and when he made too much, he put a few pieces on the table and asked Xuanyuan Que if the taste was moderate.
Xiao Jiu has a skill, he can know at a glance whether Xuan Bao likes it or not.
Finally, at the palace banquet, Xuanyuan Que found that the food in front of him was outrageously sweet!
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky began to snow heavily in the morning.
Weak Xuan took the birthday gift she had "carefully" prepared for Xuanyuan Que and entered the palace!
When the carriage of the weak family came to the palace gate, Aunt Yuhua greeted her. said with a smile: "It's snowing, and the queen mother is afraid that the old lady and the lord of Xuanbao will catch a cold, so she specially asked the slave maid to wait here." ”
The queen mother was afraid that Xuanbao would catch a cold, so she specially prepared a warm sedan chair to take Xuanbao and the weak daughters to Cining Palace.
Lei Pozi smiled: "Aunt Yuhua has worked hard, it's a cold day." ”
Yuhua said with a smile: "I'm used to it, I'm afraid that the old lady, several ladies and the lord of Xuanbao are used to living in Shaxi County, and they are not used to the climate of the capital." ”
Weak Xuan said: "No, I'm used to it, I'm not afraid of the cold." ”
The banks of the weak water river are cold all year round, she has long been used to it, and the clothes she wears are woven by Xuanyuan Shenjun, warm in winter and cool in summer, and she will not feel cold at all.
But the adults didn't know, so they dressed her like a ball, and wore two padded jackets!
Aunt Yuhua smiled and draped the fox fur cloak in her hand on Weak Xuan: "Lord Xuanbao is really powerful, he is not afraid of the cold." Wrap your cloak and don't get blown by the snow. ”
Weak Xuan: "."
The queen mother prepared a warm sedan chair, and Yuhua held Xuanbao, who was wrapped like a zongzi, and walked to the warm sedan chair prepared in the palace gate.
The others looked at each other with envy, surprise, and curiosity.
