Chongxi Concubine of Time Travel

Chapter 53
"Princess, Your Highnesses, together with Young Master Mu, Young Master Bai, Young Master Wen, and Young Master Chunyu are here to pay respects to Princess Wang." Someone stood at the door to report.

"please come in."

"Congratulations to Princess Sheng on her birthday." Four teenagers came in to salute.

"No courtesy, let's serve tea."

"Meet the two Highnesses."

"No courtesy, my second brother and I are here to celebrate the emperor's aunt's birthday, please don't be restrained." Xuanyuan Ziqi said, he also knew what the occasion was, this was not his own palace.

"Qi'er, Ming'er, Quan'er, and Mo'er, it's time for the banquet. You should also go to accompany the guests. I'll leave the men's side to you today." Shangguan Xueyan checked the time and explained to them.

"Understood, concubine mother."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please, let's go too, everyone also wants to taste the cooking skills of the mansion." Shangguan Xueyan stepped down from her seat and said to them, and then she walked in front, planning to go to the place where the banquet was held.

"Princess, the person who announced the decree from the palace is here, saying that it is a birthday gift for you, Concubine." The housekeeper hurriedly ran over and said, also blocking Shangguan Xueyan's pace.

"Birthday gift? Where is he?" Shangguan Xueyan asked suspiciously.

"We've arrived at the gate of the palace. The old slave came in first to report." The butler wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Then I will thank all the ladies and this concubine to receive the decree together."

"It should be." They didn't expect that they could receive the imperial decree after attending the banquet. Some people thought it was very honorable, even if it wasn't awarded to her.

Shangguan Xueyan changed her path to the garden and walked towards the gate of the palace, but within a few steps she saw a group of people walking in ahead, carrying several large boxes.Shangguan Xueyan looked at those boxes and wondered if this was too ostentatious, but is it necessary to be so exaggerated in the birthday gift? I don't know if it was the idea of ​​the empress or not, Shangguan Xueyan looked at the people who were coming, a little speechless.

"The imperial edict has arrived, and the Holy Princess accepts it." A person in front of the team took a quick step and said to Shangguan Xueyan who was coming.

The eunuchs in this team were also quite strange, usually eunuchs from the palace came to announce the decree, but today the one who came to announce the decree was a man dressed as a guard, and the one carrying things behind was the eunuch from the palace.

"The minister's wife accepts the order." Shangguan Xueyan knelt down, and the rest of her knelt down as well.

"Sheng Wangfei, please, Your Majesty said that Sheng Wangfei can be exempted." The man who looked like a guard bent down and stretched out his hand to help Shangguan Xueyan, but he didn't know what to think, and withdrew his hand.

The man withdrew his hand and unfolded the imperial decree in his hand to read out, which generally meant that the Holy Princess was rewarded by His Majesty and Queen for her meritorious service in taking care of her son and her diligence in managing the palace.

"Thank you Your Majesty and Your Majesty for your love." Shangguan Xueyan took the imperial edict and asked the butler to bring the box into storage without even looking at what was inside.

If Shangguan Xueyan didn't open the box to check, the ladies and ladies would not be able to see it even if they were curious.

"I don't know if the Holy Princess can give me a glass of wine to quench my thirst." The guard announced the imperial decree, but he didn't seem to want to leave. After Shangguan Xueyan arranged something, he asked for a drink instead.

Shangguan Xueyan glanced at this person, and felt that today's incident was very abnormal, but she couldn't see what the problem was for a while, but the person in front of her felt very strange and seemed a little familiar, but the person she had met was different. If you have seen it, you must remember it, and you can be sure that you have never seen this person.

"Of course, butler, take this guard and others to the garden to open a table alone, and there must be enough wine." Speaking of drinks, Shangguan Xueyan gave the man a special look.

"Yes." The butler received the order.

"Then thank you, Princess Sheng." The guard said with his fists clasped and his expression unchanged.

"My lord, please follow this old slave."

The butler led them away, and Shangguan Xueyan also led the wives to the garden.

The banquet guests set up tables and chairs in the garden of the palace, and there are hundreds of tables. The male guests and the female guests are on both sides of the garden, separated by flowers and plants in the middle.The cook is the chef from the Zhonghua Building. Anyway, they are willing to cook for their master's birthday. They also have specially developed new dishes. Each dish has a good name, which has a good meaning, and the guests are very happy to eat.

At the banquet in the garden, Shangguan Xueyan was holding a glass of wine, "Today is my concubine's birthday, thank you all for coming. This is the first cup of my concubine's respect to you all. Please forgive me for the poor greeting." Shangguan Xueyan raised her head Drink the wine in the glass.

"My princess is very polite. It is our honor to be here for her birthday." Mrs. Mu stood up with her wine glass and said.

"Princess is serious."

"It can't be done."

They stood up and their voices erupted one after another.

"Come, let's eat food." Shangguan Xueyan waved them to sit down and eat.

"Well, this dish tastes good, and the dishes are also novel." Mrs. Wen said after taking a bite of the dish.

"Yes, unique."

Shangguan Xueyan looked at the ladies who were admiring the dishes, smiled to herself and said nothing, this dish was made by the chefs of Zhonghua Building.That Master Wang came from a chef's family, who used to own a restaurant in the south. Because someone wanted to steal their family's recipes, the whole family was hunted down and exiled to Shangjing. He worked as a chef in a small shop to make ends meet.At that time, I wanted to open a restaurant and wanted to train my own chef first, so I chose him.The condition offered is that he can avenge his family, and he only needs to be the chef of his own restaurant.After a few days of thinking, he agreed, and now his family revenge has been avenged.In the restaurant, he studied his own recipes with peace of mind, brought his apprentices, and added the modern dishes he gave to him, so the business of Zhonghualou was very good.There are not many people who know this, and only a few people know it.The guests who came today didn't know that the dishes they ate were made by the chefs of Zhonghua Building.

When everyone was eating, there was a noisy sound from a distance. It seemed that there were a lot of people, and the sound was very loud, and they all came here.

"Wenxiu go and see what's going on." Shangguan Xueyan put down her chopsticks and called Wenxiu to give her instructions.

"Yes, princess."

All the ladies are also looking at me and I looking at you, and they are also curious about what happened. Today is the birthday of the Holy Queen, who would dare to make trouble.

"It's all right, ladies continue, don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Xueyan picked up the chopsticks and started eating by herself, without being affected at all.
