Chapter 139 The rain and dew are evenly wet, and Enlun is abundant
Huang Yujing was stunned for a moment, and the emperor's tone was a little ...... Not quite right?
While turning his mind, he said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, the imperial dining room is on a mission, and the table is set up as a 'first-class seat'......"
After a pause, he looked at the faces of the two masters, and redoubled his caution, "This, uh, is actually the old rule in the palace......"
I wondered in my heart: Is there anything wrong with this errand?
"'First class'?" This name, Guan Zhuofan heard it for the first time, and was a little curious, "What is that?" β
"That's ......," the emperor frowned slightly, "well, how can you say it?" β
After a pause, "It's a big table!" Well...... In the past, Huang Ama gave Eniang a few times 'first-class seats', at that time, I was still young, the impression was actually quite vague, I don't remember what specific dishes there are, just remember, don't have to eat, look at it and see it full! β
Speaking of this, he sighed, "I'm older, I remember, but I've never seen a 'first-class seat' anymore - Eniang resigned to Huang Ama a few times, saying, just her and me, I really can't eat so much, and I wasted so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, it's a pity!" β
Guan Zhuofan was really a little curious, thinking that I was studying history, but I didn't know what this "first-class seat" looked like - the left and right were just a table of dishes, no matter how delicacies from the mountains and seas, where could they be exaggerated? How to "watch and see enough"?
Well, I'd like to see it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Since the dishes have been prepared," Guan Zhuofan said, "just pass it on, otherwise, it will be a waste to put it aside." β
"That's it!"
The emperor nodded, and looked at the dining table behind the "sofa chair", "If it is a 'first-class seat', this dining table may not be able to be displayed, okay, just put it in the East Warm Pavilion!" β
"Yes!"
Huang Yujing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated, sending people to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and directing the "banquet" at the same time.
The eunuchs first carried two large tables into the Dongnuan Pavilion, each of which was about the same length as a zhang, and after being put together, it looked like almost two zhang - this was the dining table.
There is no "sofa chair" or dining table in the East Warm Pavilion, so there is enough space for "display".
The imperial dining room in the Forbidden City is divided into three places: one is north of the military aircraft department and south of the Yangxin Palace, commonly known as the "South Dining Room"; One is in the east of Kunning Palace, commonly known as the "North Dining Room"; There is also a "Imperial Tea Room" on the west side of the South Three Houses, but this "Imperial Tea Room" is mainly responsible for the supply of the outer courts, and the exquisite production cannot be compared with the "South Dining Room" and "North Dining Room" that supply the inner court.
The south dining room and the north dining room each have their own stalls, the emperor's first meal after entering the palace is of great significance, the south dining room and the north dining room both want to take this messenger to their own place, and they have also walked through Huang Yujing's door in advance. However, Huang Yujing is very measured, since he is in the Qianqing Palace, he should be served by the North Dining Room - the North Dining Room is in the east of Kunning Palace, Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, both belong to the "Hou Three Palaces", if the South Dining Room is on a mission, it is to seek the near and far.
Therefore, he politely pushed away the red envelope in the south dining room, and said, "Don't be anxious, when the emperor ascends the throne and begins to look at the court, there is a chance that the lunch will be passed on in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when the time comes, isn't it your messenger?" β
The people in the south dining room thought, that's not necessarily, if the emperor is early, he probably won't continue to stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall and drag it out until lunch, right?
However, Huang Yujing's attitude, although polite, was very resolute, and the people in the south dining room had no choice but to give up.
On the side of the Qianqing Palace, after setting up the tables and chairs, the shawl and a full set of pastel fine porcelain tableware, on the side of the north dining room, a team of more than 20 eunuchs, each with a big vermilion lacquer box, rushed out, went to the base of the Tai Palace, passed through the hall of the Qianqing Palace, turned right, and entered the palace door.
Everything was furnished, and Huang Yu came to Xinuan Pavilion to ask for a ride.
As soon as he entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, Guan Zhuofan gasped slightly.
On a dining table nearly two feet long, there were fine porcelain bowls and plates with red letters and yellow backgrounds, and in a hurry, it was impossible to count them, but there were sixty or seventy kinds of them!
He heard the emperor and Huang Yujing say that "a table was set up with a 'first-class seat'", and he really thought that this "first-class seat" was just "a table with a big table", in fact, where is this "a table"? Seven tables, eight tables are available!
Alas, my imagination is still limited!
No wonder the emperor said, "I've seen it to my heart's content."
Looking at it carefully, there is a silver medal in the bowls and plates that serve the dishes, and at first glance, Guan Zhuofan thought that the silver medal was engraved with the name of the dish, but after thinking about it, no, this is for anti-poison!
If the dish is poisoned, the silver medal is stained, and it will turn black.
The emperor looked at her husband's expression, and did not appreciate this big table and dishes very much, sighed, and said: "Look, what a 'first-class seat' is like this!" β
Huang Yujing's scalp was a little numb: Is this messenger ...... Messed up?
But where is the basket?
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said, "What Concubine Ligui said is very true, how can two people eat so many things? The emperor has grown up, and his appetite is naturally bigger, and my appetite is bigger than that of Concubine Ligui, but no matter what, it's not a big deal! β
This passage, he said in a ridiculous tone, Huang Yujing laughed awkwardly, "Yes, yes!" β
"That's it," Guan Zhuofan turned to the emperor, "I have an idea, the emperor will take a look, is it feasible?" β
"Yes, yes!"
The Emperor nodded repeatedly.
Uh, I haven't had any ideas yet......
"Let's go our own way," Guan Zhuofan said, "pick five or six things to stay, and the rest are considered the emperor's grace and given to the courtiers who work in the palace - what does the emperor think?" β
"Okay!" The emperor's eyes lit up, "This...... Really a great idea! β
It's a really good idea.
The emperor's gift of food is not only a grace, but a very large grace - under normal circumstances, only close ministers can be favored.
Also, it happens to be lunch time for the "courtiers who work in the palace" - the courtiers are busy with official business, no more than the inner court, and lunch is not so early.
"The courtiers who work in the palace," Guan Zhuofan said, "are nothing more than three pieces, one is the Military Aircraft Department, one is the Cabinet, and the other is the Upper Study and the South Studyβjust like that, pick five or six to stay, and the rest, three and one thirty-one, will be given to the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet, the Upper Study, and the South Study!" β
"Yes, yes!"
Huang Yujing replied repeatedly.
"It's just ......" Guan Zhuofan hesitated slightly, "The upper study and the south study are in the south of the Qianqing Palace, and the military aircraft department is not far away, but the cabinet is far away, the weather is so cold, the dishes are delivered, will it be cold?" β
"No, no!" Huang Yujing hurriedly said, "In the food box, the dishes are sitting on the hot water, go faster, it can't be cold, the prince can rest assured!" β
"Okay, let's do it!"
"Yes, yes!"
The dishes on the long table were withdrawn like flowing water, leaving only six kinds of three meat and three vegetarian dishes, which were put together and placed in the center of the long table.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat," Guan Zhuofan let his hand go, "It's like a meal, I don't know how to put down the chopsticks just like thatβnot to mention anything else, sitting in the middle, I can't catch the dishes on the side at all." β
The emperor walked over, Guan Zhuofan personally pulled out the chair for her, the emperor sat down, turned his head, and smiled at his husband.
Then, Guan Zhuofan sat down on the chair next to the emperor.
How to set up the dining chairs of the emperor and the imperial husband, Huang Yujing secretly asked Cui'er in advance, and Cui'er said, "Two people, just put them side by side." β
Now that the emperor and the imperial husband were seated, Huang Yujing shouted, "Hit the bowl lid!" β
The three little eunuchs worked together and lifted the lids of the six bowls together, and the emperor and the imperial husband took the gold-inlaid chopsticks handed over by Cui'er and began to eat officially.
As soon as the emperor and the imperial husband moved his chopsticks, he hurriedly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Jingshifang - at the same time, he sent orders to the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet and the Shangshu, and the South Study, and sent the food given by the emperor.
Soon, in the Forbidden City, the inner court and the outer court became lively together.
