People in the main hall picked up their wine glasses and responded:
"It is the duty of ministers to feed the emperor's salary and bear his worries.
People in the main hall picked up their wine glasses and responded:
"It is the duty of ministers to feed the emperor's salary and bear his worries."
... ... .
Then the emperor said something more: "All of you, my beloved ministers, are the pillars of the Nalan Kingdom, and all the ladies here are the virtuous wives of the pillars of the Nalan Kingdom! When your son returns, it will be a good match for your family! A good wife will bring disaster to her husband." Young Master! It is precisely because of the ladies who greet the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, take good care of them, and take care of their homes that they can serve the court without any worries! I would like to toast all the ladies."
This was the first time that the emperor actually toasted to them, and the imperial ladies quickly picked up their glasses and saluted back!
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. It is the duty of ministers and wives to look after their husbands and raise their children!"
... .
The emperor continued: "The young master is better than the old master. From ancient times to the present, the waves behind push the waves ahead! From now on, Nalan Kingdom will be the world of the younger generation! I would like to toast you all! In the future, Nalan Kingdom will rely on you to reach a higher level!"
... ..
After three glasses of wine, the dishes were served!
Dozens of plates were placed in front of each table.
As long as the emperor gives an order, the maids will remove the golden pot lids covering each dish, and everyone can eat.
The emperor became energetic, and he showed his first smile tonight: "Okay, without further ado, let's have a meal!"
The emperor looked at the long table in the center and said with a smile: "Guess what dish is on the table?"
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo sounded at this time. Everyone looked at the long table in the center, a long golden bamboo pot lid, and what was covered, and they were extremely curious!
"What kind of dish is that? Roast whole lamb?"
“I guess it’s not all roasted whole lamb, but also roasted suckling pig and roasted whole alligator!”
... ..
Because Concubine Li has said before that most of the dishes at the palace banquet tonight will be vegetarian.
Everyone who is used to big fish, big meat, and delicacies from the mountains and seas has little interest in it.
Roast whole lamb, roast suckling pig, etc. These livestock are not precious things, and we often have them in our houses!
The emperor said loudly at this time: "Get up!"
The chef in the imperial dining room immediately took off the gilt bamboo pot lid.
A lifelike picture of beautiful mountains and rivers appeared in front of everyone.
This is a large landscape cold dish!
The people in the main hall couldn't help but stand up one after another.
"Is this a dish? Are you sure this isn't a landscape painting?"
"Wonderful! It's absolutely wonderful! The food is cooked into such an exquisite and lifelike landscape painting! It's really eye-opening!"
"Five flavors are harmonious, hundreds of flavors are fragrant, shapes and environments are unified, mountains and rivers are on the dishes, poetry is overflowing on the plate, wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Such a beautiful painting is used to make dishes, and even the ministers are reluctant to eat it! It seems that they were taken back to the house and framed!"
"It is difficult for a paintbrush to paint such a majestic and lifelike painting. Our royal chef of Nalan Kingdom is really a talent!"
... ...
There was endless praise from civil and military officials throughout the dynasty.
The emperor looked at everyone's amazing performance and stroked his beard with satisfaction: "What do you think of using such dishes to entertain envoys from all over the world?"
The eighth princess said loudly: "Good! Very good! Father, this dish is majestic and extraordinary, and it fully demonstrates the style of Nalan, a huge country!"
The corner of Wen Nuan's mouth twitched. A dish can be described as majestic and extraordinary! Princess Eight, can she think that her dish was a success
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty also agreed: "The Eighth Princess is right, it is very suitable! Such an artistic dish cannot be achieved without exquisite artistic accomplishment and superb cooking skills! It just shows that our Nalan country is full of talents!" Even the chefs are extremely talented! Envoys from all over the world are amazed!"
"That's right, it's just a good time for envoys from various countries to see how profound and profound our Nalan country's culture is! How can they look down upon it!"
... ... ..
"Your Majesty, was it made by the royal chef? He should be rewarded heavily!"
The emperor smiled when he heard this and said: "This is the dish that Princess Hui'an thought of, and she and the royal chefs made it together!"
After hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally praised him again.
"Princess Hui'an is really talented, virtuous and virtuous..."
"Princess Hui'an is so talented! She actually thought of using landscape paintings as a dish, and she was able to use ingredients to create such a magnificent scene along the river. I admire you, I admire you!"
"King Jin is so lucky. Princess Hui'an is not only talented in both civil and military affairs, she is also virtuous and virtuous, with both beauty and wisdom!"
... ...
The third prince looked at the large landscape cold dishes on the table, and then glanced at the beautiful woman with a sweet smile in the crowd, and his desire for her became more and more intense.
How could a person like the Seventeenth Emperor's uncle, who was so incomprehensible in amorous feelings, be worthy of such a beautiful and intelligent woman as Princess Hui'an
The seventh prince looked at the landscape paintings on the table and wanted to eat them more and more!
He couldn't help but urged loudly: "Father, can you eat?"
I really want to taste something!
Prince An and Prince Ning glanced at the seventh prince disapprovingly.
All the civil and military officials in the court also looked at the seventh prince, with accusations in their eyes:
Who is this from
How could he be willing to read such a beautiful landscape painting
They haven’t appreciated it enough yet!
Seventh Prince: "......"
Why are you looking at him? He was right!
This dish is made not just for eating, but also for appreciating it
The emperor said happily: "Haha... Come here, share it with all the ministers! Give it a taste and give your opinions so that Princess Hui'an and the imperial chef can improve it!"
Those who are crazy about painting can hear the sound of their own hearts breaking!
But food is food, no matter how beautifully prepared it is, it is meant to be eaten.
The maids began to take away the splendid mountains and rivers one by one, and distributed them to some of the emperor's relatives, as well as officials above the first rank and princes and counts.
Because there were so many people at the palace banquet, it was impossible for everyone to eat!
Others are only envious!
When the palace maids handed out dishes after dishes, everyone saw that each butterfly was made into a miniature scenery, and each person pretended to be a scene!
Everyone was even more shocked!
I wish I could turn back time and see the flaws in that beautiful picture of mountains and rivers!
Just now they clearly admired a very perfect picture of mountains and rivers!
Concubine Li looked at the plate of green water and green mountains in front of her, her expression a little ugly!
She never thought that preparing so many vegetables and fruits would be used in this way.
I hope this dish is very unpalatable. How can there be enough food with so little meat
It’s not enough to just catch people’s attention with one dish!
In this way, it is still possible for her to take this opportunity to get back her partner's right to control the harem!
Concubine Shu looked at the ugly Concubine Li and smiled: "My dear concubine, try it, it tastes very good. I think your concubine will like it very much!"
Concubine Li: "..."
Under the stage
The maids removed the exquisite little pot lids made of gold.
The tempting aroma of food reaches everyone’s noses immediately!
Immediately afterwards, plates of exquisite and unique delicacies appeared in everyone's sight!
