Chapter 108
With An Pin's demotion and confinement, the hustle and bustle of the harem came to an end temporarily.

In a blink of an eye, the new year is approaching, and after this year, we will officially enter the first year of Jiaqian (Jiajing+Qianlong) of the new emperor.

Since it is the new year when the first emperor and the new emperor alternate their reign titles, this year's New Year's Eve banquet has become a top priority.

To make a good start for his first year, the emperor repeatedly ordered Linglong to assist the empress in holding a New Year's Eve banquet, to break down the old and usher in the new, to sweep away the haze of the former emperor's death, and to welcome the joy of the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Linglong knew very well that this New Year's Eve banquet had a lot to do with it, so she was cautious about the part she was in charge of, not daring to be careless in the slightest, interfering everywhere and being careful in everything.

Fortunately, with the help of Ting Lan, she is the late emperor's queen, and she has many years of experience in managing the harem. With her guidance, everything will be fine.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but unexpectedly, the day before New Year's Eve, the queen couldn't bear to start.

First, the actors who sang "The Palace of Eternal Life" and "Eternal Reunion" lost their voices for no reason, then the treasury caught fire, and all the items used to arrange the New Year's Eve banquet were burned, and finally the New Year's gifts for the emperor's filial piety to the empress dowager and the concubines were destroyed .

Linglong couldn't help gritting her teeth after all these incidents came one after another: "The first emperor passed away and the emperor ascended the throne. It's the new year when the reigns change. How dare the empress do such a thing..."

Ting Lan sighed: "Min's is really too bold and reckless. Fortunately, we took precautions early, arranged for actors in advance, and moved the items out of the warehouse in the dark at night. What was burned was only some useless scraps of cloth. Everything You still have time."

Linglong said: "Thanks to my sister's reminder, I was able to take precautions early, otherwise she would have to plot to die this time."

Up to this point, she still couldn't help gnashing her teeth.

Ting Lan said: "You arrange someone to transfer the things in the warehouse overnight, and everything else is fine. Porcelain is fragile, and I don't know if it has been damaged. Let's go and have a look."

For the New Year’s Eve banquet, a total of 250 items of hot and cold dishes, 110 items of dim sum, tea and food, and 360 items of delicacies should be prepared.

To cook these 360 ​​dishes, the most important thing is the preparation of the ingredients and the arrangement of the chef, but the porcelain that goes with it cannot be ignored either. A full set of famille rose tableware and silverware are used for the banquet, which is rich and gorgeous. To show the majesty of the royal family.

The porcelain used in this year's New Year's Eve banquet is different from previous years.

In the firing of ancient porcelain, the emperor's year name is generally used as the inscription on the bottom of the vessel. If there is a natural disaster or auspiciousness, the emperor modifies the year name, and the inscription on the porcelain will also change accordingly.

Now that the emperor ascended the throne, the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Jiaqian, so the porcelain used in the New Year's Eve banquet this time can no longer use the emperor's year name, but the "Jiaqian" year name.

This means that all the porcelain fired in Jingdezhen before can not be used, and a new batch must be made according to the current emperor's year name.

Linglong and Ting Lan rushed to the warehouse to check. The batch of porcelain was not damaged, but its color and style were unbearable to look at.

The former Xiaozong and Xiandi father and son had elegant taste and unique aesthetics. The porcelain they fired was soft in tone, pure in texture, beautiful in shape, delicate and crystal clear, with a strong sense of high-end. Called a work of art.

But the emperor's aesthetics was seriously deviated, out of the category of elegance, it could be described as the scene of a car accident.
