Chapter 109 Banquet
"Your Majesty, do you have anything good for your grandmother? Father, can you also take a look at it?" At this time, a slightly majestic voice came, and a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a golden head came in. Mian, with a handsome face, exudes a noble aura all over his body, but has a gentle smile on his face.

He walked up to the Queen Mother and saluted, "The son has met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother also smiled and said: "Get up and sit down. There are so many etiquettes with the Queen Mother. At this time, all the officials have entered the palace. Why does the Emperor have time to come over?"

The emperor said: "The banquet hasn't started yet, so I came here to wish my mother a happy new year. Unexpectedly, I heard Chen'er say that I had something good for my mother. I also wanted to know what kind of things could make Chen'er feel good. "

Jing Chen didn't say anything, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a calm expression on his face.

The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, Chen'er had always been prejudiced against the emperor because of his mother's affairs, and the emperor had always wanted to ease the relationship between himself and Chen'er, so she said: "Yes, Chen'er will let your father and the emperor Grandma, let’s open your eyes together.”

Jingchen heard his grandmother's words, so he called Yefeng Yeying to take the things he brought in, put them on the table, and then went back.

Jingchen picked up a bottle of strawberry jam and said, "This is a jam made from a fruit called strawberry. I got it new and it tastes good, so I wanted to give it to my grandmother to try."

The Queen Mother looked at the small jar and said, "This is the first time I know that fruits can be used to make jam. What kind of fruit is this strawberry? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Jing Chen said: "Grandma, try it. This thing is rare. You can drink it by washing it with water, or you can use it to make snacks. It tastes good!"

Jingchen picked up the cup and scooped a spoonful of strawberry jam into the cup, poured some warm water in, stirred it, and brought it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother saw that the water turned red, and there was fruit pulp in it. It looked very tempting, so she picked it up and took a sip.

"This jam is really delicious when brewed. It's sour and sweet. It's quite appetizing and relieves greasiness. I feel a lot more relaxed after drinking it. It's not bad. It's really a good thing. It's hard for Chen'er to find such a good one. Something." The Queen Mother liked it very much and praised happily.

Hearing his grandmother's praise, Jing Chen also curled up his lips and felt better.

The emperor on the side also wanted to have a taste and said, "Chen'er will also make me a cup. Father, I also want to have a taste."

After saying that, Jingchen seemed not to have heard. Seeing this, Grandma Gui stepped forward respectfully and said, "The third prince has to do this work himself. I just remembered how to do it, so I asked the slave to give it to the emperor to try." .”

Jing Chen looked at the emperor and said, "I gave this to my grandmother."

The emperor smiled and said: "What? There are several jars here. Is it possible that your father can't even drink a glass?"

The Queen Mother also smiled and said: "Let your father try it. This is indeed something we have never eaten before."

Seeing that Jingchen stopped talking, Aunt Gui placed the brewed jam tea in front of the emperor.

The emperor took the jam tea, smelled it, and said, "It's very fragrant, with a unique aroma of fruit." After that, he brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

"It's not bad. It tastes good. It tastes better than any other drink in the palace. After drinking it, my body really feels refreshed. Chen'er, where did you find this? My father also wants a share."

Jing Chen said calmly: "It was a New Year's gift from a friend, but it is gone!" He explained this because he was afraid that his father would find out about the Xu family.

The emperor felt a little regretful and said: "This is indeed the first time I have tasted this fruit. I guess it is not something from my Dragon Soul Kingdom. It is normal for it to be rare."

The Queen Mother said: "It's rare that the emperor likes it. Chen'er sent several cans with different flavors, so I just picked two cans and went back to drink."

But the emperor said: "Since Chen'er gave it to the queen mother, I can just come to the queen mother's place to drink if I want to drink from now on." At this time, a young eunuch came in, bent down and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has brought today's food The New Year’s Eve dinner has been delivered.”

"Bring it in!" said the Queen Mother.

Suddenly, more than a dozen young eunuchs came in one after another carrying trays, placed a dozen dishes on the table, and then left.

The emperor said: "I will have a few bites with my mother here. The banquet will begin soon."

At this time, Ye Feng also brought in a casserole. Jingchen took it and placed it in front of the Queen Mother, saying, "Grandma, come and try this. It's also a new food." After speaking, he opened the lid, and a burst of fragrance suddenly spread.

The Queen Mother looked into the casserole and said, "This is chicken soup. Is it noodles?"

Jing Chen said: "It's not noodles, it's just a bit similar, but the taste is better than noodles."

The Queen Mother picked up the small bowl, picked up some with chopsticks, put it into the bowl, picked up one and ate it.

"Well, it's good. It tastes better than noodles. It's smooth and chewy in your mouth. It suits my taste very well." The Queen Mother praised.

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, the emperor also filled a bowl and started eating.

After finishing a bowl, he said: "It's indeed delicious, and I like it too. Chen'er, you see that you gave your grandmother so many delicious foods, but your father doesn't have any of them! I also plan to pick some from my own small storehouse." What a gift to you! Others don’t have this kind of treatment.”

Jingchen's eyes flashed and he said, "Thank you so much, Father." After saying that, he ordered Ye Feng to go to his palace to get a small jar of wine and give it to the emperor.

The emperor saw that it was a wine jar. He opened it and smelled it. The taste was different from what he usually drank. This smell was milder. He picked up the wine glass on the side and poured a glass. When he saw that the color was red, he said in surprise. : "Why is this wine red?"

"This is made from grapes." Jing Chen explained kindly for the sake of what he gave her.

"And wine made from grapes? The color is like red agate, and the wine is translucent. Let me taste it!" After saying that, he took a sip and closed his eyes to taste it carefully.

He is a lover of wine, but he rarely drinks because he is busy with government affairs and is afraid that drinking will cause trouble. When he tasted this wine today, he felt that all the wines he drank before were somewhat eclipsed by this wine.

So he laughed loudly and said: "Good wine, good wine! But this jar is too small, not enough for me to drink!"

Jing Chen was a little speechless. He only had two jars, so giving him one jar was good, but it was still too little. So he took the jar over with an expressionless face and said, "Since it's too little, I won't give it to you. I Keep it for yourself, I won’t be too little.”

When the emperor saw this gesture, he immediately took the wine back and said, "There is no reason to give something away and then take it back. I will accept this wine. I am also going to the front hall. The banquet is about to begin. Chen Just go with me!"

Jingchen said: "I'm not going!"

The emperor was a little helpless. He felt sorry for his youngest son. He had always felt sorry for him, but he didn't care too much about him. I'm afraid he didn't even know how many eyes in the palace were watching. He was afraid that he was too fond of Chen'er. , will harm this child.

He sighed and said, "That's fine. You can have dinner with your grandmother here. If the minister asks, my father will help you."

The emperor stood up and said hello to the Queen Mother, then went out with the wine in his arms and a group of eunuchs and maids following him.
