Chapter 769: Princess Yong'an
Chapter 769: Princess Yong'an.
Ye Xing and the others entered the Horse Mansion, and after chatting with the ministers for a few words, they found a quiet place to sit down, after all, this kind of excitement was not suitable for them.
This kind of excitement is too noisy, so that several of them feel unconscious, and most of this excitement is superficial flashiness, the people here are elated on the surface, talking to each other as if everyone is interested, but in their hearts, everyone is squeezing each other, thinking about how to climb to each other's heads faster.
When it was almost noon, the prince Zhu Gaochi brought people to come, and the arrival of the prince made the originally lively courtyard quiet for a while, and they saluted the prince again and again to show their respect for the prince.
It's a rule, and none of them can break it.
After saluting, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi smiled happily: "Today is to celebrate the birthday of my imperial sister Princess Yong'an, all the ministers, please drink heartily, don't have any restraints, otherwise the imperial sister will not let me come on her next birthday." ”
While talking, Yuan Rong, the concubine, helped Princess Yongan to come out in a hurry, Princess Yongan looked at the prince Zhu Gao and smiled: "The prince said that, as the prince, they should give you a salute, this will not change for a lifetime, if you are the imperial sister and I have a big birthday, I will be angry if you dare not come." ”
Everyone knew the relationship between the prince and Princess Yong'an, and they also knew that they were just joking when they said this, so after saying a few words, everyone was no longer restrained and drank happily.
The crown prince and Princess Yong'an sat on the upper seat, and the ministers sat at the lower table, after the banquet began, those ministers took turns to come forward to congratulate Princess Yong'an on her birthday, their congratulatory messages said a lot, and they didn't have the same thing, Ye Xing really admired these ancient officials after listening to them, after all, there are poems and books in their stomachs, and there are many words to say.
Ye Xing, as the king of Daming, usually wants to step forward and say a few polite words to make Princess Yongan happy, so when it was Ye Xing's turn, Ye Xing got up and arched his hand to Princess Yong'an and said: "Today's princess's birthday, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military came to celebrate her birthday, it can be said that we are a grand event in the Ming Dynasty, Weichen has a special gift for Princess Yongan today, and I hope the princess will smile." ”
Ye Xing said, and asked people to bring up the cream cake made by Hua Zhimeng.
After the cream cake was brought up, everyone was a little surprised, because the cream cake was very delicate, it looked like a big handicraft, and many people here also thought that it was a handicraft, not food.
Princess Yong'an was very curious when she saw the cream cake, so she looked at Ye Xing and asked, "I don't know what kind of gift King Daming gave to this princess, it looks so exquisite!" ”
Ye Xing smiled slightly and replied, "Back to the princess, this gift is called cream cake, which is made of more than a dozen ingredients, eat it on your birthday to congratulate you." ”
Princess Yong'an heard Ye Xing say that this cream cake was a food, and immediately aroused her appetite, so she opened her mouth and ordered: "Since it is a food, then share it with everyone to taste!" ”
Just when Ye Xing was about to step forward to cut the cake, Ji Gang suddenly stood up and said: "Princess Yong'an, gifts are usually given to birthday stars, how can you cut them on the spot and share them, wouldn't this be bad?" ”
In the 5,000-year history of China, most of the gifts should not be opened in front of the guests, let alone used or eaten immediately.
This made Princess Yongan also a little hesitant, the gift given to him by King Ye Xing of the Ming Dynasty, is it appropriate to open it now?
Ye Xing saw that Ji Gang was looking for his own trouble, so he smiled and smiled at Princess Yong'an: "The princess is too worried, this cake is food, it is not easy to grow long, and it is the most atmospheric to eat it during her birthday, the princess's birthday is to make everyone happy together, why not share the cake?" ”
Prince Zhu Gaochi is obese, naturally caused by his love of eating, and now that he sees the cream cake that he has never eaten, and it looks delicious, how can he let it go, so he also said after Ye Xing finished speaking: "Ye Aiqing is right, the imperial sister's birthday, naturally wants everyone to be happy together, let's share this cream cake, so that everyone can also touch the blessings of the imperial sister." ”
Now that there is the words of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, it is impossible for Ji Gang to refute it again, Princess Yongan nodded slightly: "Please cut it up to King Daming!" ”
Ye Xing skillfully cut the cake and put it on the plate, and then asked a subordinate to serve one to the prince and Princess Yong'an first, and Yuan Rong, the master of the horse, saw that Ye Xing only cut two parts first and did not have his own, and his face sank slightly.
Prince Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yongan looked at the cream cake on the plate, couldn't help but swallow a little saliva, and then picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in their mouths, the lubrication and sweetness of the cream made the two of them a little unbelievable for a while.
The two of them took a bite and then took another bite, and they didn't stop until they finished eating, and then the crown prince Zhu Gaochi said excitedly: "Ye Aiqing's cream cake is so delicious, why haven't I heard of it before?" ”
Ye Xing smiled slightly: "Don't hide it, this cream cake was developed by Hua Zhimeng, and I only heard about it." ”
Princess Yong'an glanced at Hua Zhimeng and said with a smile: "The flower girl's skills are really good, can he teach the chef in my house one day, if I want to eat, I can eat it at any time." ”
Hua Zhimeng stepped forward and smiled: "Of course, this craft is not a secret, Her Royal Highness the princess likes it is the most important thing." ”
Hua Zhimeng's mouth is so sweet, and Princess Yong'an is happy.
After the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yongan praised each other, they found that the ministers present couldn't help but drool, so Princess Yongan hurriedly ordered: "Cut the cake and distribute it to the ministers here!" ”
After the ministers got the cake, they ate it with relish, only Ji Gang, holding the plate in his hand, but he didn't know whether it was good to eat or not, he felt that it was cheap Ye Xing, but if he didn't eat it, he wanted to eat it again, and this was something rewarded by the prince and Princess Yong'an, and I am afraid it would not work if I didn't eat it.
After thinking about it again, Ji Gang picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
Eating cake is just a small episode of the birthday, after eating snacks, everyone still has to drink, drink wine and eat meat, for them, although the cake is good, but the taste is a little single after all, there is this big fish and meat to eat comfortable and happy.
So soon, the atmosphere of the birthday was picked up again, everyone toasted and congratulated each other, and it was the previous liveliness again.
This big birthday for Princess Yong'an lasted until dusk, and at that time, everyone was almost drunk.
