Chapter 185 The Empress Quietly Comes to the Princess's Residence
At this time, two maids came running over, saw Bi Yue, and bowed to her, "Princess, the housekeeper asked me to come here to tell you that the banquet will be served soon. Please ask His Highness and all the ladies to go to the dining hall to eat."
"Okay, you go ahead, I understand."
So Biyue took the Crown Princess and all the ladies to the dining hall.
Because there were so many guests today, not only were 50 tables set up in the dining hall, but 60 tables were also set up in the open space outside. In order to block the sun, a sunshade was set up above and electric fans were placed around, so it was quite cool. All the guests sat down one after another and everyone started to eat.
Today's dishes are very rich. There are several dishes from the sea, such as whale meat, big lobsters, one may weigh more than ten pounds, as well as abalone, scallops, cod, etc.
The others are all famous dishes in the capital. This time, we invited four famous chefs from the capital to hold the wedding banquet at the princess's mansion.
Because some of the ingredients were from the sea, they were worried that the four chefs wouldn't be able to cook them, so they were called in a day in advance to try cooking seafood. The recipes were taken out and given to them. The four of them tried cooking it once. After Bi Yue tasted it, she thought it was okay, so she asked them to cook according to this standard.
They felt very happy that they could come to the Princess's Mansion to help and learn a few new dishes.
When they first heard that the princess invited them, they were all happy to accept. When people like them saw Princess Rong'an for the first time, they were not only stunned by her beauty,
In front of them, His Highness took out the ingredients from the ocean and placed them in a large vat in the kitchen. There were more than 100 lobsters weighing more than ten pounds, as well as scallops, abalone, cod and a large piece of whale meat.
They were shocked and finally witnessed the magical operation of the goddess. They were full of admiration for the legendary Princess Rong'an.
The guests ate the delicious food and praised it highly. There were servants and maids nearby, pouring wine for each guest. These wines were all good wines that Biyue ordered through the system, including Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, and Yanghe Daqu.
After the three famous wines were brought out, the male guests felt that what they had drunk before was sweet water, which was incomparable to what they drank today. Some guests even secretly thought in their hearts, after eating, they would ask the Marquis of Changxing where he bought these wines? Can he give them a few bottles? These wines are really delicious.
The servant and the maid enthusiastically introduced what dishes were on the table. Someone picked up a piece of meat and chewed it, praising that the fried beef was really delicious, the meat was fresh and tender, and it was so delicious. The servant introduced it to him, "This is a whale shark from the ocean. Our princess caught it in the ocean. Today, everyone is in for a treat."
The meat of the great golden shark in the sea tastes almost the same as beef when chewed. The guests were surprised when they heard this and reached out to pick up the plate of shark meat with chopsticks. After chewing it carefully, they found that it seemed a little different from beef.
Everyone knows that working cattle cannot be slaughtered casually. The princess's mansion has hosted so many banquets today. If there is a plate of beef on each table, it may not be enough without a cow.
The guests felt that Princess Rong An was indeed extraordinary. She could even catch and kill the big whale sharks in the sea and let the guests taste them. This was amazing. And there were also the giant lobsters weighing more than ten pounds each.
The servants beside them told them how to eat it. It was the first time for everyone to eat such novel food, and the taste was quite good. Even the dignitaries in the capital had never eaten these delicious dishes.
While the guests were eating, Luo Chen ran to find Bi Yue, pulled her aside, and whispered to her that the emperor's gift had arrived, and that the emperor and the queen had also come to the princess's mansion in disguise.
Bi Yue heard this, and hurriedly went to see the emperor and the empress with Luo Chen. They arranged a spacious and bright place for them to dine, with an ice basin and an electric fan inside, which was particularly cool and comfortable. The emperor asked the two of them to accompany him for dinner. Luo Chen and Bi Yue could not resist the emperor's request, so they accompanied them for dinner. The emperor picked up a piece of whale meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, and said to Bi Yue with admiration, "This beef tastes really good. Which chef did you hire to make it?"
Bi Yue smiled and said to Jiang Yuchuan, "Your Majesty, this is not beef, this is a whale shark from the sea, one weighs several tons. I caught this at sea before and put it in my treasure bag. Today I am entertaining guests, so I took it out and let the guests have some fresh food."
The emperor knew that Rong'an had a magic weapon. He never thought that the whale he caught a few months ago could be kept fresh in that bag. It was really enviable.
Now when it is made into dishes, it is very fresh and delicious, and the taste is similar to beef. I feel that I am the emperor, rich and powerful, but today I ate whale meat for the first time and made a joke of myself. I shook my head helplessly.
Bi Yue introduced the marine delicacies on the table to the emperor and the empress and taught him how to eat them. She put disposable gloves on Jiang Yuchuan's hands and asked him to peel and eat them by himself. The emperor and the empress ate a lot of scallops, abalone, cod, and a few bites of lobster. These dishes tasted so good that the emperor, who usually didn't pay much attention to his appetite, also ate a lot. The empress also ate a lot today. After having this meal at noon, the two of them would not have to eat at night.
Your Majesty, if you want to eat these seafoods again some other day, please tell Rong An. I will call the best chef among the four chefs to the imperial kitchen to teach them how to cook these delicacies. I have the ingredients here, so Your Majesty can eat them anytime you want.
The emperor and the queen looked at Bi Yue and said with a smile, "Rong An is thoughtful. It is settled. I ate too much today. I have never eaten so much before. I am so full that I can't eat anything tonight."
When Bi Yue heard what the emperor said, she took out two small porcelain bottles, handed them to the emperor and the queen, and said to them, "This contains a relatively concentrated hawthorn water. If you feel bloated when you go home, drink a sip. It will be completely digested before going to bed at night, and you won't sleep with a stomachache."
The Queen said softly to Bi Yue, "You are such a thoughtful and good child. It is so kind of me to have you as my daughter."
So the emperor and the empress picked up the small bottle and took a small sip. After drinking the hawthorn water, they immediately felt that their stomachs were no longer bloated.
After dinner, Biyue and Luo Chen took the Emperor and Empress to the backyard of the Princess's Mansion. Since all the guests were eating in the restaurant in the front, there were basically no people in the backyard. The few maids and servants they met were also asked to go to the front hall to eat.
When the emperor and empress saw the boudoir in the courtyard, they thought it was really beautiful and exquisite.
Bi Yue invited them in. The lobby on the first floor was spacious and comfortable, with bright lights. The second floor was luxurious and elegant, warm and comfortable.
The Emperor and the Empress were very satisfied after seeing it. Such a unique small building could only be found in Princess Rong'an's mansion. After walking for half an hour, they visited her boudoir. They felt that they had digested half of the food, so they said goodbye to the two juniors and quietly returned to the palace.
