Although the protagonist of this family dinner is Bai Meng, due to his status, the main seat is still occupied by Song Jue.
The boys all sat in the lower row to the left of Song Jue, while the girls sat in the lower row to the right. Eunuch Pan and Eunuch Cui took Ying 13, Ying 5, Mei Lin, and Mei Zhu to a separate dinner in Laifeng Pavilion. Song Jue and the others distanced themselves a little.
"Come on, come on, before we officially start the banquet and serve the food, let's toast the birthday boy with a drink first." Song Jue picked up the tea cup in front of him, "I just want to aggrieve Xiaobaizi. In extraordinary times and with a powerful enemy in front of us, it is not appropriate to drink alcohol, so as not to cause trouble. , let’s have tea instead of a bar! When all this comes to an end and there is a final ending, we can make up for this drink, how about it?”
"I'm not aggrieved at all. Everything is based on the overall situation." Bai Meng stood up with a tea cup in hand, "Thank you brothers and sisters!"
"Hey, are you just thanking us?" Song Jue raised an eyebrow at Bai Meng, "Jin Yu is busy with this family dinner, shouldn't he thank Jin Yu properly?"
"Thank you brothers, I am very grateful to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Bai Meng looked at Song Jinyu with eyes full of love.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, ok, ok, stop it. I'll leave this greasy talk to you in private!" Song Jue sighed helplessly, "Come, look at me, look here. ." When Bai Meng turned his eyes to himself, he continued, "Everyone raise a glass to wish that our little Baizi has aged another year!"
After saying that, Master Song Jue drank the tea in one gulp without waiting for Bai Meng to react.
"Why am I just one year older? I have just turned twenty this year, okay?" Bai Meng looked at Song Jue dumbfounded, "If I am one year older, aren't you also one year older? Don't forget Yeah, I'm only three months older than you."
Although Bai Meng pretended to dislike Song Jue's words, she still drank all the tea with a smile and showed the empty tea cup to everyone.
"One day is old, let alone three months, Brother Xiaobai!"
"Ha!" Bai Meng sneered, put down the tea cup in his hand, and sat down again, "At this time of year, I can barely take advantage of you."
"In the future..." Song Jue glanced at Song Jinyu and smiled narrowly at Bai Meng, "I'm afraid I won't even be able to take advantage of this."
Bai Meng didn't want to talk to him and rolled her eyes at him.
Song Jue didn't care about this at all, and nodded towards Eunuch Cui who was guarding the door, "It's time to start the banquet."
The waiters in the imperial dining room filed in and placed the dishes they were carrying on everyone's small table. The menu for this family banquet was drawn up by Song Jinyu himself. All the dishes were Bai Meng's favorite. Even the soups and desserts prepared were to suit Bai Meng's taste.
The little waiter walking at the end carried a small food box and walked straight to Bai Meng. He placed the food box on his desk, opened the lid of the box, took out a big bowl from inside, and then put the food box in front of Bai Meng. He packed up the food box again and bowed slightly towards the Commander-in-Chief.
"This is the longevity noodles cooked by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself for the Commander-in-Chief to celebrate his birthday."
After the little chamberlain finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Bai Meng, picked up the food box, and left with his companions.
Bai Meng looked at the bowl of longevity noodles with rich ingredients in front of her, and then at Song Jinyu who was looking at her expectantly. He gave her a comforting smile, then picked up the chopsticks and pulled out the long noodles inside. Carefully pick up the longevity noodles and put them on your plate.
Song Jinyu watched with hope as Bai Meng finished the long longevity noodles bit by bit and drank a bowl of soup. She watched him extend his thumb towards her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Delicious?" Song Jue took a piece of elbow meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He saw Bai Meng nodding towards him and handed over his soup bowl.
"What are you doing?" Bai Meng stretched out his hand to protect his bowl, "Don't think about it, it's impossible."
"You can't even give me a taste of the soup?" Song Jue snorted dissatisfiedly, "I haven't even eaten the noodles made by Jin Yu, why don't you even give me a chance to taste the soup?"
Song Qiyun looked at the two of them like this, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and walked to Bai Meng. While he was confronting Song Jue, he took the big bowl away and filled a bowl for everyone one by one, especially It's Song Jue's bowl. It's full, especially rich. When the big bowl came back to Bai Meng, there was only a soup base left.
"You..." Bai Meng's face was filled with displeasure, "That's too much!"
"Don't you remember that sentence?" Song Qiyun held a bowl of soup and said while drinking, "It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Besides, in the next few decades, as long as you want to eat, Sister Huang will I'll make it for you. Now give us some to try, what's wrong?"
"That's right, that's right." Song Jue echoed, "You can't eat alone!"
Bai Meng was scolded by the two of them, plus Jin Miaomiao, and lost his temper. He could only look at Song Jinyu aggrievedly.
Song Jinyu couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this. The Commander-in-Chief really looked cuter and cuter!
After three rounds of tea, everyone was half full. The eating speed gradually slowed down, and the topic returned to Tianxing Sect again.
Bai Meng told the others about his discussion with Ying Shisan. He felt that this was very important and might be a breakthrough for them to open up the Tianxing Sect.
"Accumulate a lot of wealth, hoard a lot of food, win over believers... Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "There is indeed something wrong with this direction. "
"There is indeed something wrong." Shen Haolin nodded, "It's hard not to think that they are going to do something treacherous and treacherous."
"Really? Really?" Bai Meng nodded towards Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "You two feel the same way, right?"
"But, does a country boy really have such ambitions?" Shen Cha touched his chin and took another sip of tea, "In other words, is Master Tianxing really an ordinary country boy? Really not Any other background?”
"I never believed it anyway." Song Jue put down the bowl in his hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "How is it possible that a random country boy can cause such a big battle? Even if it's possible His generation may be ordinary, but his family background is definitely not that simple. He can go to the Jin and Liao countries to make trouble, how can he be so ordinary?"
"That's right, but..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "There are only so many case files of Tianxing Sect, and we can't see any other news about Master Tianxing from them."
"It doesn't matter if you can't see, we can make a bold guess." Bai Meng ate the elbow in front of him cleanly, "Ah, so full!" He looked at everyone, "Let's talk about it each!"
"There's nothing to say." Shen Haolin put down the soup bowl and raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng, "The worst-case scenario is that they are just remnants of the previous dynasty. Even if they are not, just treat them as if they have been wiped out this time. "
"I love what Haolin said." Song Jue nodded in agreement, "No matter who they are or what they want to do, just destroy them to eliminate future troubles!"
Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, who had been paying attention to the children's discussion, looked at each other after hearing this.
Hey, as the children grow up and become more sophisticated, it will be even harder to fool them in the future!
