"Please be sure to add my father to the invitation list for the New Year's banquet."

emperor

You must know that the New Year's banquet is not just for them to eat, the emperor still thinks that Du Zhiyan wants to kill his relatives in righteousness, but the emperor hasn't mentioned it yet, Du Zhiyan personally dedicated her father? This kind of selfless spirit is really worthy of praise, and the emperor was moved: "Du Changzai, I understand your self-sacrificing spirit, but your father is also my father-in-law, speaking of which, it is just a five-grade supervision of the imperial history, he has a clean breeze on his sleeves, so don't let him come." ”

"Let's let my father come, after all, he is supervising the imperial history, and when the time comes, let him take a small notebook and record the grand occasion of the New Year's banquet, and if there is any mistake, he can report to the emperor."

That's right.

Since Du Zhiyan was promoted to Chang in the harem, it is obvious that Du Zhong has worked harder in the court.

not only helped supervise hundreds of officials, but also made a small report to the emperor from time to time.

Du Zhiyan insisted that her father participate, and the emperor had no choice but to approve it.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the New Year banquet in the palace.

For this New Year's banquet, the Yongfu Hall prepared a banquet non-stop. According to the emperor's meaning, it should be fine, not coarse, and the ingredients should be a little more expensive, Du Zhiyan bought another cooking book in the system and carefully prepared the menu for the New Year's banquet.

Salt and pepper crab with golden sand, baked yellow croaker with red pepper, stuffed stewed white jade lion's head, crispy foie gras, fresh chili and soy sauce cowboy cubes, braised live abalone with truffle, osmanthus four treasures Sydney pear, eel egg yolk roll

The previous recipes focused on a niche season, refreshing, non-greasy, and, of course, cheap.

The meals of the New Year's banquet are not sloppy and the ingredients are also excellent. But with these dishes, they are also among the best. When these dishes were presented to the emperor, the emperor praised him, "My Du Changzai is a good cook." ”

Du Zhiyan is in charge of cooking.

The queen is responsible for greeting the family members of the officials.

Talented concubines can also put on some shows.

According to the program list, the concubines who came out of the show included the noble concubine Meng Yuzhu, who danced the Nine Heavens Xuannu Dance.

Wei Guiren, playing the piano, the repertoire is the mountains and flowing water meet the bosom friend.

Zhao agreed, performing drumming.

Tian agreed, performing calligraphy.

After all, there are more than a dozen programs in the harem.

The annual banquet was held in Changyin Pavilion.

Changyin Pavilion is located on the lotus pond, is a three-storey pavilion, dozens of bluestone steps are spacious and magnificent, go up the steps, you can see the square palace wall and the undulating roof, the distance is the mountain, the foot is the lotus pond. The mountains are white and endless, with thousands of miles, and the lotus pond is quiet, like a gray mirror.

In winter, the snow is heavy, the residual lotus listens to the rain, the snow covers the head, the lotus pond is open and open, the residual lotus stands proudly in the water with the white snow, the lotus pond has frozen, there are several wooden boats frozen on the ice surface half a meter deep, occasionally the white crane flies down from the roof, and the wind falls on the wooden boat.

In the Changyin Pavilion, it is as warm as spring.

The 10,000-character flowing water Mani beaded lichen spreads all over the three-storey pavilion, the palace lamp hangs high, the colorful silk is continuous, and the Wanfu Wanshou screen is placed in the center. On the long case, there are large clusters of newly picked flowers, red as the sun, which makes people's eyes shine.

To the left of the bouquet is the seat of the official, and to the right is his family.

The officials are all wearing blue wide-sleeved robes, and their families are also wearing good heads, or jade bracelets that are as green as water, or hairpins with red gold and blue gems, or a whole set of phoenix hairpins with emerald, and collars with gold and rubies. Any piece of jewelry is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime.

The emperor and the queen mother sat on the two steps high, Gao Rang clapped his hands gently, and the food from the Yongfu Hall was also served.

Then it's time for the show.

Wei Guiren performed playing the piano, and the song of high mountains and flowing water meeting bosom friends can also be played in Nanfu, but Wei Guiren's piano sound is elegant and clean, like pouring out, and people are almost intoxicated when they listen to it.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but praise: "Wei Guiren's piano skills have grown again." ”

Meng Yuzhu's Nine Heavens Xuannu Dance is also remarkable, only to hear the drum movement, she actually flew over from the wooden boat in the lotus pond, wearing colorful silk, combing high buns, wearing a thin silky goose yellow pleated tunic low-cut shirt skirt, biting a red flower as bright as the sun, stepping on the 10,000-character flowing water Mani beaded lichen and dancing.

Officials also know that the emperor's concubine was born in Nanfu, and there are few people who have superb dancing skills in Nanfu.

Tian Lingyue dipped gold leaf in ink, wrote the word "Taiping" on the rice paper as thin as a cicada's wings, and then held a candle on the back of the rice paper.

The concubines each showed their unique skills, the show one after another, after all, the emperor's concubines can dance, the queen ate the watermelon and watched intently, and when she saw Xingtou, she couldn't help but put down the watermelon and stroked her hands: "Usually I rarely see Bao Guiren showing, but I didn't expect her to dance the sword dance quite well, the dancing palace is dazzling, and her eyes are full of starlight." ”

Looking up and seeing that the Queen Mother was staring at her, the queen hurriedly wiped two mouthfuls of watermelon, and greeted the family members with an embarrassed smile: "You're welcome, these good drinks and dishes are prepared by Du Chang of the Yongfu Palace, she has excellent skills, you can't eat these meals outside the palace, try them quickly." ”

Du Zhiyan's meal was praised even by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is old, she doesn't like to eat greasy, these dishes at the New Year's banquet, red pepper baked yellow croaker, stuffed stewed white jade lion head, eat are fragrant and delicious, the food is beautiful, the taste is excellent, and even the wine is purple and red grapes.

The emperor picked up the grapes and walked down the steps to salute the officials.

The hundred officials drank the wine and sat back, sitting upright one by one, as if they were going to the court.

"Don't be restrained, it's all my love, it's the same as eating in the house." The emperor picked up another glass of wine and drank it all.

The atmosphere down there is a little bit lively.

Eucommia drank two cups of grape brew, poured himself a large cup, and the chopsticks in his hand did not stop, a lion's head for a while, and some beef for a while.

Du Zhiyan secretly came to Du Zhong in a eunuch suit by pouring grapes to make wine.

Du Zhong hurriedly held the wine glass: "Thank you father-in-law, I will pour it after I finish drinking this cup." ”

Du Zhiyan stretched out his hand to cover his cup: "You are not allowed to drink it." ”

Du Zhong was stunned, the voice of this eunuch was so familiar.

Yes, it's my daughter's voice.

Looking up, isn't it Du Zhiyan?

I heard that my daughter eats and drinks spicy food and spicy food in the harem and is very angry with the emperor, why do you dress up as a eunuch in public? Could it be that the emperor has this habit? Or is your daughter bold?

Du Zhong was about to speak, but saw Du only whispering in his ear: "Don't just worry about eating, do something serious." ”

Eucommia

Du Zhiyan stuffed another silver ticket in Du Zhong's hand: "This is five hundred taels of silver." ”

Du Zhong was stunned on the spot, how easy it was to make money in the palace? Five hundred taels of silver, how many years has he been paid: "Just say, this silver is all from the right path, right?" Our Du family has been innocent for generations."

"This silver is very innocent."

"Where did you earn it? Who's earnings? ”

"The emperor and the queen mother who earned it."

Eucommia

"You keep this silver for your own spending, and there are few places in the palace that you can't spend."

"You keep this silver daddy with flowers."

"Where Daddy didn't spend money"

"It's right away"

Eucommia

"The emperor will sell something in a while, Dad, you buy it first, and buy it for five hundred taels of silver."

"The emperor sells something?" Du Zhong held the five hundred taels of silver tickets tightly: "What does the emperor sell?" ”

Seeing the eyes of several people at the same table shining like train lights, Du only shushed his words, turned the screen, and went to the official's family.

The queen saw Du Zhiyan as if she had seen a savior, she was not good at socializing, not to mention facing these women who were dressed more expensive than her, sitting and eating, not to mention eating with a group of women who could barely call her name, the queen said everything she could think of in this life, from how she entered the palace and how she lived in Jingren Palace to how she raised chrysanthemums and she ordered takeout, and the women laughed embarrassedly.

A woman wearing a red treasure head and a dark red gold woven gardenia brocade sling shirt ate a grape with her fingers crossed, and her voice was full of disdain: "The queen is the master of the middle palace, why do you still eat takeout?" The concubines have eaten all the major restaurants and restaurants in the capital, even the most famous Yipin fresh restaurant, and the concubines often go to them, but they have never heard of what takeout is, it is about something that is not on the table. It's not delicious, so it didn't catch up in the capital. ”

The queen rubbed her handkerchief in embarrassment, as the queen, her father's status as a first-class auxiliary prince was already considered noble, of course this woman understood the queen's family background, but she spoke like this without any scruples, obviously this woman was not small.

"Speaking of which, the concubine's father was Wei Cheng, the general who led the army back then, and now the soldiers of the King of Yue were also working under my father back then. The husband of the concubine is Yuan Yang, who is the third product of the dynasty and the squire of the military department who is in charge of the arsenal. The concubine Wei is the emperor's personal edict. ”

Strange way, it turned out to be the wife of Yuan Yang, the squire of the Sanpin Military Department, and the daughter of Wei Cheng, the former general of the First Pin. At that time, the first general of the first grade, even the first emperor had to pay tribute to him for three points, and now the military department is in charge of the arsenal and is in charge of the world's weapons, which can be said to be an idle and fat errand, no wonder the Wei family is so arrogant.

Even the wife on the side had to secretly discuss: "Wei's is really a blessing, her father has earned a lot of glory, and her husband has not only ruled over the arsenal by the light of his father-in-law, but also has a single-minded heart for Wei, I heard that after many years of marriage, not only has he never had a concubine, but he has not even stayed overnight." Wei was afraid of falling into the hands of others, and once half-jokingly wanted to take a concubine for him, but he didn't expect him to be annoyed instead, saying that he didn't want anyone in this life except Wei. ”

As the family members spoke, the queen asked everyone to have some food, and the grapes poured a glass for each person.

The other few thanked the queen, only the Zhao family did not drink or eat.

The queen asked Gui Yuan to make a pot of Biluo Chun to pour it for Zhao, Zhao picked it up and smelled it, covered his nose with his sleeve, and put the tea back again.

The queen was embarrassed to be able to deduct three bedrooms and one living room.

What is the identity of the Zhao family, so picky?

Zhao got up and blessed a blessing, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine's husband is not talented, it is Liu He, the waiter of the Sanpin Minister's Department, and the concubine Zhao, please say hello to the queen." ”

The Ministry of Officials consists of the Department of Officials, the Department of Seals, the Division of Honors, and the Department of Examination of Merit. He is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, decoration, and transfer of hundreds of officials in the world. Under the secretary of the ministry, he is the servant of the ministry.

"This is the Biluochun of Xingong in the south, why is it not appetizing?" The queen said with concern.

Zhao coughed twice: "This Biluochun concubine is not used to drinking, and the concubine has always drunk Longjing before the rain at home." ”

The queen asked Longan to soak in the rain before the dragon well brought over, Zhao only smelled it and said: "This is the old year's tea, the queen is really thrifty." ”

This is obviously a new tea just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhao said that it was old tea, it seems that Zhao either doesn't understand, or Zhao's family has better tea, after all, there is no better, there is no comparison.

What's more, when serving tea, the pair of emerald jade bracelets on Zhao's wrist had no impurities, and even in the palace, there was no such good thing, so Zhao naturally didn't look like someone who had never seen the world.

And the food on the table, Zhao obviously has no stomach, when pushing with the queen, Zhao put a piece of crab meat into his mouth, and reluctantly swallowed: "These crabs are too thin, so they are not fresh, if you want to make a good taste, you have to have good ingredients, this crab meat has to be fatten for three points to taste, what do you say, the queen?" ”

The queen was stunned on the spot.

In her opinion, the crabs on this plate are fat enough, fatter than usual, and they are already the best crabs that can be taken out in the palace, and Zhao still feels bad.

It seems that the queen is lonely and unheard.

The emperor picked up a glass of wine and drank with everyone.

Gao Rang stood aside with a brocade box.

You look at me, and I look at you, but I don't know what it means.

"All Aiqing, it's been another year of hard work, in this year, Chen Guo is also considered to be in good weather, and the people are happy, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone. Ahem. Knowing that everyone is hard, I held this New Year's banquet, and everyone ate and drank. ”

"Your Majesty."

"I know that in the eyes of Zhong Aiqing, I am still a child, under the age of twenty, and my speech is often unreliable, but tonight, I decided to warm the hearts of Zhong Aiqing. I want to play a game with Zhong Aiqing. ”

"What kind of medicine did the emperor buy in this gourd? How to make a good end of the game? I know that I can't do it firmly if there is no hair on my mouth. An old minister sighed.

"It's just a game, it's all a pastime, so why not?" Yuan Yang, the waiter of the Sanpin Military Department, smiled and drank a glass of grape wine.

"How have I ever seen such a prosperous New Year's banquet, even when the emperor had never had such a grand scene, the food on this table, such a big crab, such a fat abalone, the minister is really the first time to see it, what is that crispy? It looks crispy, but I haven't eaten it. Liu He, the waiter of the Sanpin Ministry of Officials, held the chopsticks and didn't know which one to clip first.

"You are a waiter of the Sanpin Minister's Department, in charge of the arsenal, the silver in your hand is like running water, how can you look at you as if you have never seen the world, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." Yuan Yang, the squire of the Sanpin Military Department, quipped.

"Lord Yuan doesn't know, my family has been poor since I was a child, and I don't have a powerful father-in-law like Lord Yuan, it all depends on my dedication in the court and wholeheartedly for the emperor, so I can sit in a position today, although there is a lot of silver in my hands, it is all from the emperor, and Weichen doesn't dare to think about it with one or two silver."
