Chapter 397 State Banquet ([-])

Holding the spoon with slightly vicissitudes of life, he slowly and shallowly scooped up a spoonful of soil, and the Minister of Rites tremblingly sent the spoonful of soil into his mouth.

His face puckered together and his eyes closed.

Swallow
Minister of Rites:?
He smacked his lips in disbelief, as if it wasn't dirt?
There is also a little sweet, indescribable taste.

Looking at the cheese and fruit pieces in the spoon scooped up by His Majesty above, the Minister of Rites blinked, lowered his head and carefully dug deeper with the spoon, and found cheese and fruit pieces underneath.

The fresh and sweet fruit is combined with the milky and slightly sour cheese, and there is a trace of coolness, mixed with the sandy feeling of the black powder. It is an excellent experience in the mouth.

Let people feel the refreshing coolness in the hot summer.

When Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came back to his senses, the contents of the bowl had bottomed out.

Putting down the spoon in his hand, Minister of Rites coughed slightly uncomfortably.

Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of His Royal Highness King Jing and General Dongze who were also eating cleanly, and his uneasiness dissipated a little.

"Brother Huang, what is this called? Jing Yu has never tasted this dessert, it's even more delicious than cheese and cherries." Gu Jingyu plucked the leftovers from the spoon into his stomach.

Nowadays, the most popular snack among noble ladies is to eat cheese sprinkled on top of cherries.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, it's time to eat cherries in the past.

If such a dish is launched at this time, it will definitely be very popular.

Gu Jinghuai gracefully wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and unhurriedly turned his gaze to Su Ruxu below.

Su Ruxu was startled, and quickly said with a smile, "It is said that it is called Guoguoluo."

"Fruit?" Gu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What's the black powder on it?" Gu Jingyu looked at Su Ruxu curiously.

Su Ruxu was stumped, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I don't even know."

Gu Jinghuai's slender and fair fingertips tapped lightly on the imperial case, his black eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, don't let a meal waste time."

"Yes."

The Minister of Rites originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out what the black powder was, and planned to let his wife cook it when he went home by himself.

Seeing His Majesty's face darken now, he hastily withdrew his searching gaze.

Your Majesty has always been strict in government affairs, and he doesn't like people making jokes.

Gu Jingyu, who didn't get the answer, didn't ask the bottom line. Hearing his brother's words, he was quickly distracted, and listened to them talking about business with a focused and confused face.

Envoys from various countries have arrived in Kyoto one after another
As expected, apart from the empress, only the highest-ranking concubines were able to attend the state banquet.

Concubine Rou, Fan Zhaorong, Zheng Xiuyi, Duan Chongyi.

"Master, this is from the bottom. You can see which one you are wearing." Liuying waved her hand, followed by the palace ladies lined up, all holding lacquered red trays in their hands.

Fan Manman's eyes were suddenly attracted by the light ochre-colored brocade tutu skirt.

The state banquet was held in the afternoon after all the envoys arrived in Kyoto.

In the majestic palace, the beautiful ladies who come and go in the palace shuttle between the desks in graceful postures with graceful and delicate double-ring buns.

Dazzling fireworks bloomed over the palace, with little sparks, colorful and endless sky.

Fan Manman and Concubine Rou walked in hand in hand, and sat under Concubine Rou's seat.

Zheng Xiuyi, who was about to sit down, paused, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he looked at Fan Zhaorong angrily.

Obviously under Concubine Rou should be hers, but now Fan Zhaorong has come from behind...

Duan Chongyi took Zheng Xiuyi's hand, and slowly shook his head at her, signaling her not to be impulsive now.

Infighting on such occasions should not make people from other countries laugh.
