, only the prince and prince, as well as concubines and princesses of a certain rank were present. Just like that, the scale of the family banquet was not small.
There are court musicians playing elegant music, and there are palace dancers singing and dancing gracefully. Everyone has already been seated early, and the emperor at the main table has not yet arrived.
The concubines sat alone at the table, and each of them dressed up brightly. Concubine Hui looked around, but she couldn't see the prince and king Duan.
Everyone knew that tonight's dinner was held for King Duan. He used to be in the palace, and the emperor spoiled this stupid son. Now that he finally came back, the emperor was very happy and hosted a banquet to welcome him. From this, it can be seen that even though Ming Yu is in Liangzhou now, the holy family is still the same. Think about which king had such special treatment in the past
Some people are jealous, so their words will naturally be sour. Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui looked at each other, Concubine Shu twisted her handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "It's said that King Duan has been sealed off for so long, it's rare to come back, why is the family banquet so late?"
Concubine Hui showed satisfaction, Concubine Shu had always been close to her, and it was the best thing to push Concubine Shu out.
"It's not that my sister doesn't know about Prince Duan's temperament. He is always self-willed. Your Majesty dotes on him, so he didn't go with him." Concubine Hui spoke up, explaining Yu's fault everywhere.
"Hey! How much vinegar did Sister Hui drink? So sour? Duan Wang is innocent and innocent, and it is understandable that His Majesty spoils her. If my sister can do the same, if you want to come to His Majesty's harem to spoil her alone, then there is nothing wrong with us." Yes." Concubine Zhen teased with a smile.
Concubine Hui has already lowered her face when she heard the words, this concubine Zhen is against her everywhere, she really deserves to die, "Concubine Zhen, what do you mean by that?"
Concubine Zhen casually smoothed her temples, not afraid of her, "It's nothing interesting, sister Hui can't even take a joke, right?"
"You..." Concubine Hui was about to explode, but was held back by Concubine Shu beside her. She thought of the scene at this moment, and it was difficult to deal with the incident, so she had to calm down and stop talking to Concubine Zhen.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while, someone quickly smiled and smoothed things over and said: "It seems that the time is still early, and King Duan just came back. His Majesty has been thinking about it for so long, so he must stay with King Duan to talk more."
Concubine Zhen smiled triumphantly. Didn't Concubine Hui rely on the support of her two sons? snort! It's really embarrassing to argue with her when she's old.
Speaking of which, if Concubine Hui hadn't played tricks, how could she have had a miscarriage back then, and her son would have been His Majesty's youngest son, a little prince who was loved by thousands of people. It's a pity that she had a miscarriage within a few months for unknown reasons. She had been investigating secretly all those years, and she finally found a clue. Concubine Hui probably thought that she did it without anyone noticing, right? Unexpectedly, she showed her feet and was found out.
Over the years, because of the sulking in her heart, she has been against Concubine Hui, but she is willing to do anything that can make Concubine Hui feel depressed. Didn't Concubine Hui always want her son to be on the throne? For the crown prince and King Duan, she was like a thorn in the flesh, so she wanted to speak for them.
"Isn't that right, King Duan is deeply valued by His Majesty, and His Majesty must be caring and loving when he comes back this time, and he won't be able to finish his homely conversation in a while." Concubine Zhen echoed with a smile, chatting and laughing with the others, for a while There was harmony between them, only Concubine Hui tightly clenched the handkerchief with an ugly face.
After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo was loud, and everyone knew that the emperor was about to come out, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Sure enough, the emperor strode forward from the back of the hall, followed by the crown prince and Ming Yu.
Seeing the crown prince who was following the emperor talking and laughing with Ming Yu, with a happy face, the third prince Ming Tao's face was gloomy.
This time Ming Yu went to Beijing and brought back a lot of goods from the Western Regions. The momentum they made last time is still in front of my eyes, this time I am afraid it will be even worse than last time.
hateful! Mingtao hated secretly, seeing that he could not get involved in their business, he could only think of another way. He has already found a manpower, and he wants to form a caravan by himself. There is no reason for the prince to take advantage of such a profitable business.
Since a fool like Ming Yu can do things well, why didn't he follow suit and let the caravan go to the Western Regions to do business on their own? He couldn't believe how hard it was. In this way, it's good to be able to respond to the prince's gang, maybe the emperor thinks that he is doing well, and he will be able to please the emperor.
Thinking of this, his face gradually cleared up, hum! Let me let you be proud first, when his caravan is set up and set off, there will be nothing wrong with the prince.
The emperor had already taken his seat, and the drinks and delicacies were served on the table in turn among the orderly shuttle of the palace people.
When the dishes were ready, the emperor looked at Ming Yu. Ming Yu smiled, stretched out his hand and patted it, and two palace servants stepped forward to hold the gold silk glazed cups, and gently placed them in front of the emperor and the crown prince.
Everyone was stunned, what is this thing, why only the emperor and prince have it
Ming Yu stood up, opened the lid for the emperor, and saw a small piece of golden round cake lying in the cup, as soon as the lid was opened, there was a fresh and sweet fragrance, which made people feel hungry just by seeing it Great shock.
"Father, this is the golden jade cake that Erchen specially made for you. The main material is corn, mixed with yam and honey. You can try it." Ming Yu looked eager to taste whether it was delicious, The emperor couldn't help laughing.
Everyone sitting here heard Ming Yu's words, and only then did they realize that this was actually made by King Duan himself, golden jade cake? Made of corn? What it is? None of the people sitting here have ever heard of the name.
Could this be another good thing that Ming Yu brought back from the Western Regions? Speaking of which, Ming Yu also offered watermelons from the Western Regions, and many people sitting here ate some of them, but it's a pity that those called watermelons are also very rare, there are so many people in the palace, if they can't share much, they will be gone , I don’t know if there is something called watermelon when King Duan came to Beijing this time, many people still miss the sweet and crisp taste.
This thing called golden jade cake looks delicious and delicious, and it is also a top-grade food.
The emperor picked up the chopsticks, just as he was about to taste a piece of chopsticks, he heard a voice say: "Wait a minute!"
Following the sound, the third prince Ming Tao stood up, "Father, the emperor's daughter's body, the origin of this thing is unknown, how can I rashly import it?"
He looked worried, as if he really thought about His Majesty the Emperor.
There are rules for the emperor's meal. Someone must try it, and only after it is confirmed that it is safe can it be eaten, and each dish must not exceed three chopsticks. Every time he saw the emperor having a meal, Ming Yu would yell that he couldn't take it anymore, he had to be restricted even for a meal, it was simply too hard.
Ming Yu could understand Ming Tao's meaning, he glanced at him with a half-smile, turned his head and said to the emperor with a smile: "Father, you see, I haven't had time to taste a bite of my son's hard work. The emperor is considerate and considerate of my son, and I will share it with my son."
After Ming Yu finished speaking, he quickly picked up a piece of corn cake from the emperor's plate, threw it into his mouth, smacked his lips, and ate very sweetly.
His shameless appearance made the emperor dumbfounded. Are there any rules? How can the prince do this tasting thing, what is the purpose of the personal eunuch
The eunuch on one side quickly knelt down to plead guilty, Ming Yu waved his hand, pulled the emperor's sleeve, and said with a shy face: "Father, this is a precious thing, I am not willing to waste it for others to eat."
The emperor glared at him. He didn't know Ming Yu's careful thinking. He brought this novelty into the palace and made it himself. He had a clear conscience and made such a move in full view. The purpose was to Shut up some people's mouths.
"As a prince, look at you, where are the slightest rules?" Although there was scolding in the sentence, the tone was helpless against him.
The emperor was still relieved, but this son was acting too rascally.
Ming Ye smoothed things over at the side, "Father, the fourteenth brother is also a child at heart." After speaking, he winked at Ming Yu, "You are also the fourteenth brother, what food is there to fight with the father? There is another one, if you want to eat, just take it."
Ming Yu chuckled, "This is specially brought for you to taste, it's not much. But it's still more fragrant and sweeter from the father's cup."
This sentence made the emperor laugh out loud, this silly son only had his mouth to please others.
Ming Tao was furious, and co-authored the entire family banquet, the three of you, father and son, were the only one family. They lived in harmony, and no one else could interfere.
"Fourteenth brother, you can have fun secretly, that is, you are a bastard, and you can make the father generous." The eldest princess Anping joked with a smile, "If you don't sit down, is this dinner still going to start? Father Well, my daughter didn't even eat lunch because of this dinner."
The eldest princess Anping is the eldest daughter of the emperor. Although she was not born after the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest princess Anping is the emperor's first daughter, but she is also very fond of the emperor. In the palace, Princess Anping also has a certain status among other princes and princesses.
Her words are also helping Ming Yu, last time Ming Yu entrusted the crown prince to give her items from the Western Regions, she liked them very much. No.
In fact, all those present here, apart from those with related interests, have no deep hatred against Ming Yu. They also hoped to have a good relationship with Ming Yu, and it would be good if they could get some benefits at that time.
Ming Yu stuck out her tongue, and quickly sat back in her seat.
The emperor waved his hands with a smile, and raised his chopsticks, "All right, all right, let's start the banquet."
All of a sudden, the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and the dance is graceful and pleasing to the eye. Ming Yu enjoys it while eating, which has the festive meaning of eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala performance.
