Chapter 323 Purple Taro Cake Introduced into the Palace (2)
Emperor Chong glanced at the prince, and there was no trace of anger on his face, but a cold chill rose from his eyes. In front of the imperial power, even if it was his own son, he couldn't believe anyone.

Fan Hou sat on the phoenix chair beside her, she turned her eyes to the eyes of Emperor Chongdi, and instantly caught the chill in Emperor Chongdi's eyes.

The crown prince doesn't understand Chongdi's thoughts, how can Queen Fan not understand Chongdi's moody temperament after serving the emperor for many years.

Seeing the icy coldness in Chongdi's eyes, she cried out inwardly.

The prince is really too impulsive.

Although Queen Fan secretly blamed the prince for being too impulsive, she was the only one she could rely on. Only when the prince was firmly in the position of prince could she be able to secure her position as queen.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has always been filial. It was just an unintentional act just now." Fan Hou smiled gracefully at Emperor Chong, and hurriedly said something nice for the Crown Prince.

While talking, Queen Fan avoided Emperor Chongdi's gaze, and cast a look of pleading help at Queen Mother Yide.

In the harem, Empress Fan did everything well. On the surface, she lowered her eyebrows to Empress Dowager Yide, but Empress Fan was so condescending that Empress Dowager Yide did not have any intention of rejecting her.

After all, the prince is the direct blood of the royal family, and the Empress Dowager Yide did not want Emperor Chong to be jealous of the prince because of such trivial matters.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has always been diligent and filial to the Ai family. With a character like the crown prince, how could he have rebellious thoughts? Jing'er's temperament is too domineering. According to the Ai family, the crown prince just said it casually." His few words are not as serious as what Jinger said."

Empress Dowager Yide was protecting the prince every word, but she was also making up Ling Jing's faults every word.

Ling Jing raised the corners of her lips, and a mocking sneer gradually settled on his handsome face. He didn't take Empress Dowager Yide's words to heart. An old woman's words were not worth his anger.

Although Emperor Chong had a violent nature, cold and cruel methods, and suspicious behavior, he had a bit of filial piety towards Empress Dowager Yide.

After Empress Dowager Yide finished speaking, Emperor Chong really put away the cold murderous look in his eyes.

He glanced at the prince, and said coldly: "You don't need to kneel down, get up."

Having received Emperor Chong's cold stare before, the prince was so frightened that he knelt down in front of the dragon chair.

Hearing Emperor Chong's icy voice above his head, the prince got up from the ground and sat back in his seat.

Seeing that the officials had been kneeling for a long time, Emperor Chong raised a pair of deep eyes, usually in front of the hall, his eyes fell on the civil and military officials again.

"Today is the New Year's banquet, all lovers don't need to stick to the etiquette, please sit down quickly."

After Chongdi's words fell, the officials hurriedly thanked them and took their seats.

The annual banquet was officially underway, and the maids and eunuchs filed in and placed all kinds of dishes, pastries, fine wines, fruits and vegetables on the banquet, and even the court ladies knelt at the table to pour wine and tea.

Not long after, another group of maids dressed in colorful clothes floated into the hall, and the group of maids danced gracefully in the hall accompanied by the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music.

Although the dancing postures of those court maids are extremely graceful and moving, the annual banquet is the same every year, without any innovation. Those civil and military officials, Mrs. Gao Ming, feel bored after watching too much.

Due to the fact that it was a New Year's banquet, all the people had no choice but to act on the occasion, pretending to accompany Emperor Chong to appreciate it.

Not long after, the sound of silk and bamboo was completely extinguished, and the group of maids in colorful clothes put away their dancing postures, bowed down to Emperor Chong in the hall, and then left the Ganlu Hall.

Not long after Gong'e left, she saw the head of the imperial dining room leading a group of maids into the hall respectfully, and saw that each of the maids was holding a beautifully carved emerald jade plate in their hands. A crystal clear purple pastry.

After entering the Ganlu Hall, the maids spread out, each walked to a seat, carefully placed the jade plate in their hands on the seat, and then quietly exited the Ganlu Hall.

After the maids retreated, the head of the imperial dining room held a gold plate engraved with peony patterns in both hands, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and walked towards the front of the hall step by step. The golden plate also contained crystal clear purple pastries. .

Walking to the front of the hall, he carefully held the gold plate with both hands, and knelt down on top of the hall.

"The servant sees the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother, and the crown prince." The head of the imperial dining room held the gold plate in both hands, and bowed to Emperor Chong in the hall.

Emperor Chong's eyes fell on the purple pastry on the gold plate, and he was slightly interested. After a while, he glanced sideways at Eunuch Gao, the personal eunuch serving beside him.

Eunuch Gao understood, and immediately walked down the hall, and took the gold plate from the hand of the head of the imperial dining room.

Seeing the cakes being presented to the palace, the head of the imperial dining room prostrated himself on the ground, feeling secretly happy. The cakes are extremely sweet and delicious, and they are definitely delicious in the world. He has worked so hard to collect them from the people. If the emperor eats them, the empress dowager would like them , How could it be possible to miss his reward, and if he has grasped the tastes of the masters, he will be able to live a good life in the future.

Eunuch Gao put the peony gold plate on the jade table in front of the dragon chair, took up the silver chopsticks, and tried it first. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the pastry, he respectfully said to Emperor Chong, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this pastry. It's different, you can taste it now." After finishing speaking, Eunuch Gao stepped aside and waited on Chongdi carefully.

Emperor Chong saw that there was nothing wrong with the pastry, so he picked up the silver chopsticks in front of him. Seeing that the pastry looked very good, he personally took a piece of it and put it on the silver plate in front of Empress Dowager Yide.

The Empress Dowager Yide was very moved when she saw Emperor Chong personally prepare vegetables for herself. Originally, she didn't have much taste when she was old, but she couldn't bear to shake Emperor Chong's heart, so she picked up the silver chopsticks in front of her and reluctantly Pick up the piece of purple pastry on the plate, and take a symbolic bite close to his mouth.

As soon as she took a bite, Empress Dowager Yide felt a sweet taste coming from her lips and teeth, and after chewing a few times, she realized that the purple pastry was very delicious.

Empress Dowager Yide ate the whole piece of pastry in one go, then she looked at the head of the imperial dining room who was kneeling in the hall, and asked, "How is this pastry cooked? It tastes sweet and delicious, with a faint fragrance. It’s delicious and very appetizing.”

Empress Dowager Yide was old and frail, and she seldom had such an appetite like today. She not only ate the whole pastry in one sitting, but also praised it full of praise, which made Emperor Chong even more interested in the purple pastry in front of her. .

Hearing Empress Dowager Yide's question, the head of the imperial dining room quickly raised his forehead and replied respectfully.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is a delicacy collected by the servants from the people. This kind of cake is called Crystal Purple Taro Cake, and it comes from a restaurant called Zuixiangfang."

"Oh, it's the first time Ai's family has heard of such delicacies among the people."

Hearing that the crystal purple taro cake was made by the people, Empress Dowager Yide was even more curious.
