Chapter 450 Such a bad idea
"I would like to ask, are the dishes at this banquet based on the rank of the official?" The imperial censor said, feeling oppressed, lowering his head and cupping his hands.

Hearing this, Feng Chenghan turned his head and glanced at Bai Jieyu, and when he caught his gaze, Bai Jieyu's expression froze, and a trace of panic clearly flashed in her eyes.

"Why did you say that?" Feng Chenghan looked away and looked at the imperial censor again.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." The imperial censor picked up the sea cucumbers on the table.

Although there was some distance between them, Feng Chenghan could still see that the sea cucumber was much smaller than the ones on his table.

"Wang Xin." Fengcheng called coldly.

Wang Xin understood, walked down and walked around, returned to the emperor and reported the truth: "Except for the prince and the first-rank minister Earl, the sea cucumbers on the emperor's table are the same as the sea cucumbers on the emperor's table. Everyone else's sea cucumbers should be the lowest quality."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Meiren said: "Sister Bai, in order to save money, this is really a clever idea. She actually came up with such a method. Those with first-class official status will eat high-quality sea cucumbers, and those with low-ranking officials will eat inferior sea cucumbers. "

This sounded like a compliment to Bai Jieyu, but it made Bai Jieyu want to sew her mouth shut.

Lu Meiren said this as if she did it on purpose.

Qu Cairen also said: "Sister Bai is really good at saving money."

Concubine Li frowned and shook her head: "Bai Jieyu, saving is a good thing, but it is still a bit inappropriate to serve dishes according to official rank at a birthday banquet."

The ministers nodded, feeling that the imperial concubine was absolutely right. If everyone had the same taste, no one would say anything even if they all ate inferior sea cucumbers?
But if you serve food according to official rank, that would be a bit excessive.

Bai Jieyu immediately stood up and explained: "I didn't intentionally divide the official ranks to serve the dishes. It was because there were not enough sea cucumbers in the palace. I didn't know much about sea cucumbers, so I asked the imperial kitchen to buy a smaller one by mistake. Sea cucumbers. It's too late to change the recipe, so we have to resort to this strategy. The tribute sea cucumbers in the palace are kept close to those with high official positions." Bai Jieyu's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.

This was really a bad idea. Fengcheng glanced at Bai Jieyu coldly. She must have chosen to buy inferior sea cucumbers to save money.

There is no problem in buying inferior sea cucumbers, but there is a big problem with her decision.

It was the imperial censor who asked directly. If he hadn't asked, the courtiers would probably think that he, the emperor, knew and agreed to this, and might become dissatisfied with him.Especially civil servants, who are very noble at heart and care about this kind of thing very much, will find it a humiliation to them.

"Can you hear the reason clearly?" Feng Chenghan looked at the imperial censor and asked.

"Listen clearly." After knowing the reason, he was not so angry anymore. This matter was not the emperor's intention, it was all Bai Jieyu's problem. He didn't know why he should care about the harem and caused such an unpleasant thing. Come.

Feng Chenghan asked the imperial censor to sit down, and more than a dozen dancers wearing smoky gauze walked into the hall and danced.

Bai Jieyu stood for a while and then sat down anxiously.

This wave of Bai Jieyu has offended a lot of people, and they all started to provoke today's banquet. They felt that it was not good at all. Compared with the banquets held by Concubine Li when she was managing the harem, it was really far behind. .

They even started discussing directly, and the discussion naturally reached Feng Chenghan's ears.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour. As soon as the banquet ended, Feng Chenghan hugged the kitten and left first. The kitten was taken away, and Leng Luoyue naturally followed.

Those who entered the palace for the banquet could stay in the palace until Shenshi, but the only place they could visit and play was the Imperial Garden. They had already done enough shopping before, so many people left the palace after the banquet was over. .

Feng Chenghan went directly to Lenxiang Palace with the little cat in his arms. The little cat was sleepy, so Feng Chenghan took a nap with the little cat in his arms.

On the way, a young eunuch came to see the emperor, but Wang Xin sent him away on the grounds that the emperor was taking a nap.

King Chang'an wanted to go to Yunxiang Palace to see the Queen Mother. Naturally, this was not possible, so Wang Xin made his own decision and sent the person away directly.Feng Chenghan was woken up by a burst of sweet fragrance. When Xiao Luzi, who was guarding the palace, saw that the emperor was awake, he quickly went to fetch some water for washing.

The kitten also woke up. He was not in good spirits when he just woke up. He hung on his father like a little kangaroo and let his father wipe his face with a wet cotton towel.

"Why does it smell so good?" Feng Chenghan suddenly wiped his face, handed the cotton towel to Xiao Luzi, and then asked.

Xiao Luzi smiled and said, "It's Concubine Leng who is making cakes in the kitchen at the back!"

Hearing the cake, the little cat immediately became energetic, "Cake, cake, cake, cat's cake."

"Your cake?" Shouldn't that be the cake made for him?After all, today is his birthday.

"Well, cat cake, mother said, I want to make it for cats..."

Feng Chenghan felt that the little guy must have heard wrongly and said, "You must have heard wrongly. Your mother does not want to do it for you, but she wants to do it for your father, me."

"It's Maomao's." Xiaomao'er raised her eyebrows slightly.

Feng Chenghan rubbed Xiao Mao'er's head and stopped arguing with him.

Xiao Luzi stood aside and did not dare to speak. After Concubine Leng got up from her nap, she went to the kitchen and said that the little prince felt that no matter whose birthday it was his birthday, she also agreed to make it for him, so this The cake was really made for the little prince.

But he didn't dare to say it. When the emperor heard that Concubine Leng was making a cake, he felt that it was made for him, and he was visibly happy. If he told it, the emperor would be angry, let alone unhappy.

"Come on, let's go see how your mother is doing." Feng Chenghan walked out of the dormitory with a faint smile on his face, holding the kitten in his arms.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the quiet Lengxiang Palace was wrapped in an orange halo.

Feng Chenghan didn't expect that he could sleep for so long after taking a nap. This was probably because he had been very busy recently and had not relaxed. As soon as he relaxed today, he slept longer.

Walking into the small kitchen, Feng Chenghan saw Leng Luoyue wearing an apron filled with flour, holding a decorating bag in front of the chopping board, holding back and concentrating on decorating the cake with butter.

Feng Chenghan was a little dissatisfied with the size of the cake, but his dissatisfaction dissipated when he thought that only the three of them could eat this cake.

"Your Majesty." Chunyu and Caiwei, who were working in the small kitchen, saw the Emperor coming in and saluted quickly.

Leng Luoyue shook her hand and squeezed the cream crookedly, squeezing the petals of the flower a little wider.

She is also a perfectionist. She was dissatisfied with the crooked petals, so she scraped them with a bamboo knife and squeezed another one.

Seeing that she was so serious about the cake she made for herself, even if the flower decoration was not good, and she still had to do it all over again, the corners of Feng Chenghan's mouth raised uncontrollably.

"Mom~" The little kitten called her mother in a sweet voice, with a rising sound at the end that sounded flattering.

Leng Luoyue mounted the flowers, picked up some cream on the bamboo knife with her fingers, and handed it to the kitten's mouth.

"Ouch." The kitten opened its mouth and ate all the sweet cream on its mother's fingers.

Feng Chenghan looked at the slender, white, pink and moist index finger, and his throat tightened for no reason.
