Tonight's fireworks feast at Qinglezhai can be said to be very successful.
The dignitary guests who came here felt a shock that they had never experienced in previous years.
Whether it was the delicious food at the Baihua Banquet or the landscape performance at the Scenic Lake, they were very satisfied.
As the last fireworks ended, tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet also came to an end.
The group of Yuanyanglou girls on the Scenic Lake also slowly withdrew after the fireworks ended.
The huge moon also fell into the bottom of the lake.
Everything was calm again.
"Tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet is an eye-opener for me." As the fireworks disappeared in the night sky, Princess Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This was the first time she had experienced such a fireworks display.
Even the fireworks display in the palace did not shock her so much.
It seems that this trip was indeed worthwhile.
In addition to Princess Yang's emotion, all the other guests were also very emotional.
Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet was of a much higher standard compared to previous years.
Whether it's the food or the fireworks show, they all have a refreshing feeling.
Especially the soup, it is simply delicious. Once you drink it once, you will never forget it.
If you want to drink it again, you may have to wait for a year.
But they may not know that a year later, it will be impossible to drink boiled cabbage soup.
...
In the palace, the lights are bright.
The emperor was sitting on the bed reading scriptures.
Not long after, a young eunuch walked in with a bowl of steaming soup.
He knelt on the ground and presented the bowl of soup: "Your Majesty, this is the dinner delicacy of Qinglezhai Baihua Banquet. I heard it is very delicious, so I specially found a portion and sent it over."
"How good can a bowl of soup be?" The emperor was wearing gold silk pajamas and sitting in front of the couch with his hair disheveled.
Seeing the little eunuch talking in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
He knew about the Hundred Flowers Feast held every year at Qing Le Zhai.
And every year after Qinglezhai is held, servants will come over to report on the situation.
This year is no different.
As the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Qing Le Zhai ended, this bowl of fragrant soup was brought over.
"Your Highness, after all the officials finished drinking, they were all full of praise." The young eunuch said in a low voice.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but condense: "All the officials would praise a bowl of soup?"
"Yes." The little eunuch nodded.
"Send it up." The emperor put down the scripture in his hand and sat upright.
When the lid of the bowl of soup was opened, the overwhelming aroma instantly poured out.
The emperor couldn't help but take a greedy sip, shook his head and sighed: "It smells so good..."
Then, he took a sip of soup with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
His originally calm face suddenly froze.
After a long while, he exclaimed: "It tastes good!"
The emperor glanced at the little eunuch kneeling beside him and asked, "What kind of soup is this? Does it have a name?"
"I don't know." The little eunuch lowered his head and said.
The emperor used a spoon to spoon the soup in the white jade bowl and whispered: "The bottom of the soup is clear and transparent, just like water."
"But the aroma is full and the taste is excellent... The chef who can make this soup is not under our imperial chef."
"Go and find out which chef from Qinglezhai made it."
"Yes." The little eunuch lowered his head and replied.
He hesitated for a moment and then continued: "Your Majesty, there is another side dish, which is also from the Qingle Zhai Hundred Flowers Banquet, but it is a little inferior to this dish. I wonder if you are willing to try it."
"Bring it up." The emperor said calmly.
As he finished speaking, the little eunuch immediately brought out the cold dishes of the Hundred Flowers Feast.
The emperor picked up a piece, put it into his mouth, and couldn't help but nodded: "
Not bad. "
"Is this dish also made by the same chef?" the emperor asked.
"I don't know." The little eunuch whispered, "But we are already checking."
The emperor pointed to the two bowls of dishes and ordered: "Bring these two dishes to the imperial chefs and ask them if they can make them taste so good."
"Yes." The little eunuch lowered his head and turned to leave the palace.
As the little eunuch left.
The emperor stood up and waved his hand.
Then, two spies in black appeared in front of him instantly.
Before the emperor said anything, the two secret agents exuded ghostly aura and condensed into a curtain in the air, and above, the grand scene of tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet in Qinglezhai was being shown.
As the scene continued to change, after the fireworks of the Hundred Flowers Banquet disappeared, the emperor stretched out his hand again, and then the ghostly curtain disappeared, and the two spies cleverly disappeared into a puff of smoke.
"Today's Hundred Flowers Feast is very different from previous years."
"It's quite interesting to perform like this..."
"We can learn from this in the future."
In the back kitchen of the imperial dining room, the eunuch brought two bowls of food to the imperial chefs to taste, and asked, "Can you, the imperial chefs, make such a delicious dish?"
The imperial chefs glanced at the bowl of cold dishes and said calmly: "We can make this dish, but this soup..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "This soup... is amazing... it will be difficult for me to make it."
"What's so difficult about this soup?" the young eunuch asked.
"The aroma of this soup is unparalleled. I can't make this aroma." A royal chef said straight to the point.
"The cabbage sum selected here is also outstanding." Another royal chef said: "We can't grow cabbage sum like this."
"And this clear soup is also a masterpiece..." The third royal chef came out and said, "It is difficult for us to make such a clear but delicious soup."
"Everyone, after all your talk, nothing can be done?"
"It can't be done." The royal chefs all shook their heads and sighed.
The young eunuch couldn't help but shook his head: "I want to report to the emperor before making a decision."
The little eunuch left the imperial kitchen in a hurry, returned to the palace, and told the emperor exactly what the imperial chefs had said.
After the emperor heard this, he didn't seem to be surprised at all, and said very calmly: "The only way is to go to Qingle Zhai to check the chef."
"Go down..."
The little eunuch bowed and left.
...
Qinglezhai, the Hundred Flowers Banquet can be said to be the perfect ending.
All the guests were very satisfied with this event.
They all left very satisfied.
Mrs. Qinglian stood at the door of Qinglezhai to see them off.
Princess Yang walked up to Mrs. Qinglian and said with a smile: "Sister Qinglian, tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet is really an eye-opener for me."
"Such a performance cannot be seen even in the palace."
"Thank you, Princess Yang, for your compliments. It's a blessing for me and my sister to be able to satisfy my sister with the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
"Sister Qinglian is too modest." Princess Yang said with a smile like a flower: "This time, whether it is the fireworks or the delicious food, I am very satisfied."
"Oh, by the way, the soup tonight was delicious. I wonder what kind of soup it was."
Mrs. Qinglian was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "This soup was made by my newly hired chef. I don't know yet."
"Oh? The newly recruited chef?" Princess Yang was instantly curious: "It's rare to see a chef who can make such wonderful food. Sister Qinglian, can you lend me a job for a few days?"
"This..." Mrs. Qinglian fell silent for a moment.
She didn't expect that Princess Yang would speak so directly, without the slightest hint of euphemism.
But Jiang Linxian was a human being, and it was difficult for her to push him out.
Plus
, her feelings for Jiang Linxian had reached a level that she had never imagined, so it was even more difficult to hand over Jiang Linxian to Princess Yang.
Seeing Mrs. Qinglian's expression of embarrassment, Princess Yang immediately joked: "Sister Qinglian, don't be embarrassed, I was just joking."
"Such a good chef, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to let him go..."
"But the soup tonight is really good. Next time I have time, I will come to Qinglezhai as a guest to try this soup. Sister Qinglian, don't dislike me." Princess Yang took Mrs. Qinglian's jade hand and said, putting it outside In people's eyes, these two are like sisters.
"When Princess Yang comes to Qinglezhai, my sister will naturally welcome her. How can I dislike her?" Mrs. Qinglian said calmly.
When Princess Yang heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "Just wait for my sister to say this, then let's get together next time."
With that said, Princess Yang left Qinglezhai accompanied by the eunuchs and maids.
Not long after Concubine Yang left, Mrs. Qinglian's father, the chief minister of the court, walked over in a hurry.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qinglian lowered her head and shouted: "Father."
"This Hundred Flowers Banquet was held very well." The first assistant said calmly, his originally cold expression seemed to have softened a lot at this moment.
"Thank you, Father, for your approval." Mrs. Qinglian lowered her head and said softly.
"By the way, the food at this dinner was good, especially the soup, which is really rare." The first assistant clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I am the only one here today, and your mother doesn't have time to come."
"So if I have time, I hope I can ask the chef in your kitchen to make a bowl of this soup tonight and give it to your mother to taste."
"Okay, Father." Mrs. Qinglian nodded and replied.
After the chief assistant in front of him said this, he turned and left.
As the chief assistant left, the second prince and the third prince also left one after another.
Finally, the fourth prince came to Mrs. Qinglian, with no concealment of greed in his eyes. He looked up and down at Mrs. Qinglian's beautiful appearance, and finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Qinglian had a faint smile on her face, and the coldness in her eyes was self-evident.
Jiang Linxian happened to come to Mrs. Qinglian and saw this scene.
He watched the fourth prince leave, thought for a while, turned around and left.
The night was like ink, and the fourth prince's sedan passed through the deserted street. Then, a black figure suddenly rushed out.
As the black shadow appeared, a black dog also rushed out.
Seeing this, the little eunuchs were all frightened and turned to run away.
However, Black Dog did not give them a chance and quickly eliminated them all.
The fourth prince sitting in the sedan was slightly surprised. He opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see Butler Zhuyun standing in the dark, looking at him indifferently.
The fourth prince couldn't help frowning, and he suddenly raised his supreme majesty: "Bold Zhuyun, do you want to rebel?"
"Do you know the consequences of attacking the prince?"
"Fourth Prince, you said you would help me become a powerful person, do you still remember?"
When the fourth prince heard this, his face turned cold and he said seriously: "Is it true that you can become a powerful person if you want to?"
"You don't even look in the mirror. Who are you?"
Zhu Yun looked at him indifferently, took out his soul-destroying ghost stick and shot him without his arrogant look: "Since the fourth prince broke his promise, don't blame Zhu Yun!"
"Your body has not recovered yet, and your strength has dropped to nightmare level. If you want to compete with me even though you are only at nightmare level, you are simply seeking death!"
"That's fine. Getting rid of you tonight will solve the trouble around Mrs. Qinglian. Then I'll put in my ears and eyes."
"Suffer death!"
As he spoke, the fourth prince's ghostly aura dispersed and rushed towards Zhuyun.
Jiang Linxian, who was disguised as Zhu Yun, immediately activated the blood sacrifice skill, launched a heaven and earth strike, and attacked the fourth prince with all his strength.
[In view of the general environment,
boom!
As the stick in Zhuyun's hand approached, the fourth prince's expression suddenly changed as he felt the tremendous pressure.
"No! You are not Zhuyun!"
"There's no way Zhuyun can catch my blow!"
"who are you!"
The fourth prince suddenly felt the shadow of death.
He wanted to escape, but thought it was too late.
As Jiang Linxian's heaven and earth blow fell, the fourth prince was turned into powder directly under this tyrannical power.
Even the clothes turned into ashes.
After using this skill, Jiang Linxian was extremely weak at the moment and fell directly to the ground.
"Boy, you can't do it. You look a little weak." The nine-tailed ghost fox hid in the dark and joked through spiritual communication.
The skill that Jiang Linxian showed just now was so powerful that even he couldn't use it.
Talking now is just to satisfy your cravings.
Without saying a word, Jiang Linxian activated the golden runes on the back of his hand and directly retracted the nine-tailed ghost fox into the golden runes.
His ghost energy was slightly improved after the nine-tailed ghost fox returned to the golden rune.
Jiang Linxian stood up, turned and left.
After returning to Qinglezhai, he took off his disguise and summoned the nine-tailed ghost fox, letting it play by itself.
After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the maids and human servants were all carefully clearing away the tables, chairs and bowls.
Jiang Linxian watched for a moment, then a maid came to him and said, "Manager Jiang, Madam has been looking for you for a long time. Please go to the heart-washing pond."
"Okay." Jiang Linxian nodded and soon came to the heart-washing pool.
At this moment, the lady is washing herself in the heart-washing pool, and is being attended to by two maids.
Jiang Linxian stood outside the heart-washing pool, waiting quietly.
"Manager Jiang, are you out there?" Mrs. Qinglian's voice came from inside the heart-washing pool.
"Exactly." Jiang Linxian replied: "Madam, if you have any orders, please tell me."
There was silence in the heart-washing pool for a long time, and then, the bamboo fence of the heart-washing pool was opened, and two maids walked out wetly.
"You two, please go down. I have something to say to Manager Jiang."
"Yes... Madam." The two maids bowed, lowered their heads and left.
On the side, Jiang Linxian was waiting for Mrs. Qinglian to ask questions outside the heart-washing pool.
The steam was steaming, and there were bursts of water splashing in the water mist. Then, Mrs. Qinglian's lazy voice was heard: "Steward Jiang, please come in, I have something to say to you. "
"Madam, this is inappropriate. If you have any questions, you can just say it outside." Jiang Linxian quickly declined.
As he finished speaking, Mrs. Qinglian, who was wearing a bathrobe, suddenly opened the bamboo door of the heart-washing pool.
With a wave of her hand, Jiang Linxian's body was directly pulled into the heart-washing pool as if out of control.
