In fact, there is no need to introduce Baili Ideal. Everyone can see that the tableware in front of them has a lot of background. However, Baili Lixiang also introduced, everyone was still surprised.
For example, Baili Mingxiang said that the tableware on the second seat is not expensive, it is black porcelain that is hard to find, each tableware has fifty-nine pieces, and only ten pieces of Linlang seven-color dragon and phoenix porcelain are given.
For another example, Baili Lixiang said that the tableware on the hundreds of seats under the second seat was very rare white jade porcelain, which is both jade and porcelain. There are fifty-five pieces in each tableware, second only to There are only four pieces of black porcelain tableware in the second seat. Regardless of the value of these porcelains, let alone the number of these porcelains, there are thousands of pieces and tens of thousands of tableware in the audience. If you want to use all these tableware, how much money do you need
How can one person eat dozens of meals
Even if there is no disaster in Beili, even if Daqin is not short of food now, even if Daqin is already a very rich country, it would not be such a waste!
On each person's table, there is a round food plate, a pair of chopsticks, and a wine glass. After deducting these three items, the other tableware is used to hold food, and the maids bring it up one after another and place it in front of everyone.
After Baili Lixiang finished speaking, the ladies of the palace gave everyone three personal cooking pots, large, medium and small, and each of them was covered, so it was impossible to see what was inside. However, you can see the heat coming from the edge of the lid, and you can smell the aroma.
From the smell, everyone can basically tell that the three pots should be filled with meat.
Although Long Feiye said to start the banquet, he didn't use his chopsticks, and no one present was allowed to move their chopsticks. Therefore, when faced with the hot and delicious food, everyone could only smell it.
Baili Yuanlong and Xiao An's generation looked stern, but they were actually excited inside. Even the impatient Baili Yuanlong was completely patient.
He waited, waited for all the dishes to be served, and also waited for those loyal people in the court to be completely disappointed in Han Yunxi.
He knew that the emperor was already wary of him, and he might not be able to persuade the emperor, but if those loyal ministers also joined, at least the emperor could re-examine the woman beside him.
He had heard it again a long time ago. He heard that the emperor was in the imperial study, telling several civil servants that he had changed, and that the Baili family was no longer the same as before.
Then, recently, he let the emperor have a look. People are subject to change, and Han Yunxi, who did not hesitate to risk her life for disaster relief, is also subject to change.
In fact, the emperor himself has changed, hasn't he? Perhaps, he was the first one to become, since he met Han Yunxi, he was no longer the previous master of the Baili family, right
Except for Baili Yuanlong and his group, some ministers seated at the back all looked worriedly at each other. They respected the queen empress very much, and they were full of expectations. However, today's banquet made them very disappointed.
The crown prince's first birthday banquet is indeed a big event, and it cannot be shabby, but after all, it is an extraordinary period, and the empress has to restrain herself.
Of course, everyone was worried in their hearts, and no one dared to speak out to remonstrate. After all, the emperor sat on the top and only said one sentence so far. No one can understand what he thinks of the queen's behavior. Moreover, the banquet has just started, and the dishes haven't been served yet.
Even if you want to persuade, you must have sufficient reasons to persuade the emperor.
Except for Long Feiye and Han Yunxi's confidantes, there were hundreds of people in the huge hall who were becoming more and more dissatisfied with Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi ignored the others, her attention was all on Baili Lixiang, and she became more and more satisfied with her.
She said with a smile, "It's rare to meet a person who knows the goods, Mrs. Lixiang, and the set meal will be rewarded to you as a prince."
Thyme Lixiang hurriedly stepped out of her seat, blessing her body to thank her.
After Baili Lixiang was seated again, the audience returned to silence, only the maids were still dancing gracefully and continued to serve everyone. Every dish is covered, steaming hot, full of fragrance and mouth-watering.
The weather was cold, and, according to the specifications of the feast, it was true that every dish had to be covered, so no one was suspicious.
It's already meal time, and many people are hungry. It's a pity that Long Feiye hasn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, and everyone can only accompany him hungry.
Long Feiye sat high above, lost the dignified majesty when he was in the court, and became a little more relaxed and lazy, but the domineering between his brows, the nobility on his body, and the king's temperament did not diminish at all.
He didn't pay much attention to the people below, even when Baili Lixiang explained the origin of those tableware, the realization of his pampering was all on Han Yunxi.
It seemed that he knew that Han Yunxi was messing around, and that everyone was dissatisfied with the queen, but he was willing to let her mess around.
After Baili Lixiang sat down, she couldn't help but look at Long Feiye again. She had heard all kinds of things about this master since she was a child, and she finally got to see her recently.
Seeing him handsome, domineering and dignified, aloof and cold, like all women who have met him, her heart will be moved instantly.
However, she is very sensible to know that she missed the opportunity more than 20 years ago. She only blamed her younger sister Baili Mingxiang in her heart. After Baili Mingxiang entered the Qin Palace as a maidservant, there were so many opportunities, why couldn't she seize them? Otherwise, beside this man today, there will be at least one more imperial concubine, and her Baili family will also have an extra bargaining chip.
After a long silence, everyone silently counted the dishes in front of them. There are still a lot of dishes that have not been served, the emperor will not start the banquet until all the dishes are served, right
Gu Qishao and Gu Beiyue just came here today, and they don't know anything about what Han Yunxi and Long Feiye want to do. Although Gu Qishao often spoils the dragon, it is not a good thing to do at night, but the recent banquet is Ruier's home, so he naturally shut up.
He sat with his arms folded and carefully smelled the aroma of vegetables on the table, as if he had discovered something.
But Gu Beiyue didn't seem to be interested in the food on the table, so he got up and broke the silence.
"The lower official has prepared a small gift for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope His Highness will accept it with a smile."
There are two situations for giving gifts at such birthday banquets, one is "giving" before entering the table, and the other is called "presenting" gifts. Sending is the rule of ordinary people. The "gift" is a royal courtesy.
There were nearly a hundred people present, and those with low status gave the eunuch in charge of the birthday gift to His Royal Highness early after entering the palace. Those with high status will present big gifts in public at the banquet.
Generally speaking, the gift will start after the banquet, after drinking for three rounds.
Since it was Gu Beiyue who started it, and everyone was hungry, no one cared too much about etiquette with Gu Beiyue. After all, there are not many people who need to present gifts in court. Perhaps, after presenting gifts, the emperor will use his chopsticks
Everyone is still looking forward to what kind of birthday present Gu Beiyue will give to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Beiyue asked someone to bring up a gift, and what he gave was nothing but a huge map!
He personally unfolded the map with his servants and showed it to the emperor, queen and prince, as well as all the ministers.
This map is taller than him and more than two meters wide. It is a large map of clouds and sky.
"His Royal Highness, this is drawn by the lower officials in three months, including every county, town, and town in Yunkong Continent. The lower officials have marked all the places that are prone to floods, droughts, fires, snow disasters and other rare disasters. "
Gu Beiyue paused for a moment, as if sighing softly, "This year, the north of the Great Qin Dynasty has been plagued by disasters. Famine, plague and snowstorms have alternated, and the people are in dire straits. His Highness is one year old today, and the lower officials present this thing, for the disaster victims in the north. Pray for the royal family's mercy for the people of Daqin, and wish me no more disasters in Daqin."
Rui'er couldn't understand, but he was already attracted by the huge map. He glanced at his father, saw his father nodded, jumped off his seat this time, and walked in front of the unfolded map.
He was only one year old, and he was already small, but the moment he stood in front of the map, he seemed even smaller. However, he was not intimidated by this huge monster. With his hands behind his back, he looked up and looked at every location on the map.
Everyone fell silent, including Long Feiye and Han Yunxi. The two of them looked at the back of Xiao Ruier looking up at the map of Daqin, and they had the same thought in their hearts.
Time flies, decades fly by, Rui'er will eventually grow up one day, he will no longer look up at this map, but will stand on the highest point of the Great Qin, step halfway through the Great Qin, and look down on the world! At that time, Daqin must be a prosperous and prosperous state, and there will be no more wars and disasters!
From Long Feiye and Han Yunxi's point of view, Gu Beiyue placed such expectations on little Rui'er.
It's a pity that many people present had a different understanding. From their point of view, Gu Beiyue mentioned the victims of disasters at such a grand and wasteful feast, so it must be a different way to remind the emperor, and a different way to express dissatisfaction with the queen!
Baili Yuanlong stroked his beard and thought to himself, he really didn't respect the wrong person. There are so many people in the West Qin camp, he only obeys Gu Beiyue. Baili Lixiang smiled slightly, and secretly looked at Gu Beiyue. She heard that the dean of the medical school married a woman with crippled legs. She really couldn't believe it!
Xiao Dong kept giving Xiao An winks. In his opinion, Gu Beiyue had already expressed his opinion first, so they naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and take this opportunity to speak out.
However, Xiao An stared back at Xiao Dong's impulse with a displeased look.
It's really hard to say who will be the first to provoke this good show recently!
As soon as Gu Beiyue returned to his seat, Gu Qishao gave away the title deed of the No. 7 tea house, and Tang Li and Ning Jing gave out a special hidden weapon toy.
After the royal family, the princes of the four countries presented gifts.
Among the Dukes of the Four Kingdoms, Baili Yuanlong often regarded himself as the head of the Dukes of the Four Kingdoms. This time, he was also the first to stand up. In the anticipation of everyone, Baili Yuanlong presented a pearl with both hands.
"His Royal Highness, this is a new white pearl from the East China Sea this year. I make a small wish, and I hope you will accept it!"
Now, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, panicked.
Master Baili gave a pearl as a prince, and it was a very, very common pearl. What does he mean by that? This has the meaning of provoking the prince and queen!
Rui'er didn't understand, but he also felt that Master Baili had a bad attitude, so he didn't move.
Baili Yuanlong kept presenting the gift, but soon, Han Yunxi's tone became cold, "Master Baili, tell me, what is so special about this white pearl? Is it worthy of His Royal Highness's smile?"
