After the empress finished dressing, the two sat facing each other in the bedroom and smoked electronic cigarettes. A large amount of smoke spit out from their mouths and enveloped them both.
The reason why the Empress likes e-cigarettes is of course because they are sweet!
And it's still cold.
The two of them seemed to be eating snacks, taking one bite after another, and the whole hall was full of fruity flavor mixed with a milky fragrance.
From time to time, the empress raised her head and looked outside through the glass in the distance, and wanted to go out for a walk, but she gave up this idea considering the hot weather outside, and stayed in the palace with peace of mind.
When Xin Zhe came, there were only two people at the door who couldn't even see their figures clearly. It's not the first time I've seen this kind of picture, so it's not surprising.
After estimating that it was almost time, Ren Baqian took his leave and left to check other arrangements. It was not until evening that he strolled to Xingqing Hall with his hands behind his back. Whether it's the empress's birthday celebration or the year-end banquet, it's basically here.
It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a large palace, but only the main hall has been used for banquets for officials. Most of the other halls have been abandoned for a long time. Even if someone cleaned it from time to time, it was still a little dilapidated.
When Ren Baqian entered the main hall, many people in the hall were looking up at the light belt above their heads.
Ren Baqian can now carry 1,200 catties at a time, which is much easier to carry. During this period of time, he has brought a lot of lights and belts to install in the hall. At this time, various lights are shining in the air, making the entire hall look like a fairy tale world .
Ren Baqian came in and attracted the attention of some people. After nodding his head, he found his seat and began to wait, chatting with Fenghou occasionally.
Feng Hou is very interested in the brewing and springs that Ren Baqian and the Zhang family gambled against each other, especially the springs made into crossbows are also a great weapon, but it is a pity that this kind of springs cannot be made in this world for the time being.
Neither material nor workmanship is up to par.
As for wine making, Ren Baqian also plans to set up his own winery for the royal family. After all, the spirits market in this world is huge, and the profits are huge, and it is not suitable for spreading in a short period of time. Especially in Dayao, the food production has not yet reached the point where it can be used to brew wine.
Ren Baqian was going to bring out cotton and textile technology, and had a few words with Fenghou, Ge Yihong also joined in after hearing a few words. Ren Baqian and a few ministers from the Ministry of Industry formed a small circle and whispered there, causing many people to look sideways.
Tong Zhenye didn't know when he came behind them and listened for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Master Ren, do you want to take a job in the Ministry of Industry? It's a pity that your talent doesn't come to the Ministry of Industry."
"Lord Tong!" Ren Baqian turned his head and greeted. As for going to the Ministry of Industry, forget it.
After another quarter of an hour, Shi Qing, Hong Wu, Xi Wanya and others arrived one after another. After sitting down, following the sound of "Your Majesty is here" in front of the hall, the empress was wearing a big red Hanfu with Qingyuan and Hongluan. Slowly enter the hall.
After everyone saw the ceremony, they sat down slowly after the empress took their seats at the head.
Then the maids outside the palace brought the dishes into the palace one after another, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ren Baqian's face.
Everyone was very impressed with the dishes on the birthday celebration last year, and many people didn't eat much that time.
As soon as the food was served at this time, everyone immediately thought of him, and wanted to see something on his face, so they were mentally prepared.
Ren Baqian had a kind smile on his face, which put everyone at ease. This year, they are all their own people, so it should be the same as in previous years, right
However, when the first dish was served, everyone's faces turned dark immediately.
A whole plate of blood sausage was placed on a plate. Of course, Ren Baqian knew what it was, but the others didn't. Seeing this, he lost his appetite.
When the second dish was served, everyone was ready to kill Ren Baqian with their knives.
I saw a roasted lamb whip and two lamb eggs neatly placed on the plate. How can people eat this thing? Does it make people chew? But no matter how you eat it, it doesn't taste right!
Think about the people in the hall neatly gnawing sheep whips, the picture should not be too beautiful.
Many people stretched their heads to look at the Empress, only to find that the Empress's dishes were completely different from theirs, and immediately stared at Ren Baqian with murderous expressions.
The third is a soup, a copper basin, in which a bat as big as two palms is swimming on its back...
This bat soup made everyone lose their appetite immediately.
The fourth one looks pretty good, and it smells delicious too. Everyone looked at the things in the bowl and became uncertain. The things in this bowl should look edible, right
In fact, this dish can be regarded as a famous dish, stewed and grilled, and Ren Baqian couldn't put it down when he saw it for the first time, but after eating it under the temptation of others, he found that the taste was not bad.
Fifth course - a bowl of carpaccio…
Course Six – A Squiggly Roasted Water Snake…
Seeing the sixth dish, everyone finally felt that there is still one dish that is edible this year, and then continued to look up and stare at Ren Baqian with murderous eyes. You are carrying it with us, right
You're not done yet, are you
Ren Baqian was also very wronged. This year's menu only provided three items by himself, namely stewed, roasted lamb penis and blood sausage.
Other bat soups, raw beef sauce, and roasted water snakes were all researched by the Imperial Dining Room itself.
I don't know if the Imperial Dining Room misordered some innate skills, and actually researched several dark dishes.
Normally, the dishes made by the Imperial Dining Room are eaten by the Empress and Ren Baqian, and they don't share with anyone after they have researched it. Now that the Empress Qingsheng has so many grown-ups around, they have put out all their strengths.
This time it really doesn't have much to do with me, only half of it at most.
The empress looked at everyone's faces, then at the food on everyone's table, then at her own, and ignored it. Anyway, what I ate seemed to be fine.
Then there is the inscription, there is not much new idea, it is just a routine.
Ren Baqian took the opportunity to look around the hall, but Li Fu did not come. Anyway, Li Fu is also number one in the world, so he wants to invite him because of emotion and reason.
I don't know if Li Fu really doesn't like this kind of environment, or if he doesn't want to see Qin Chuan, Tong Zhenye, Tuwan and others...he just refused. Just now he sent someone to invite him again, but it seems that he did not come at this time.
After the Empress drank the first glass of wine, first a group of girls from the Jing clan entered the hall and danced. The girls from the Jing clan all wore silver bells around their waists. . And the dancing posture is also different from the wildness of the ancient girls, full of soft beauty, which is a different taste.
At least Ren Baqian likes this kind of clothes, they look good with or without clothes.
As the girls of the Jing clan retreated, several musicians played enthusiastic tunes in front of the hall, and officials from the Zhongyu Mansion sang the rites in front of the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall also became lively.
