Chapter 496 New Year's Eve
The new emperor was seriously ill and recuperated in the Prince's Mansion in Qingping County.

To be honest, many people did not believe this news.

Either they felt that the new emperor was deliberately acting, or something had happened, but it was difficult to announce.

Until, the new emperor was really supported onto the dragon chair.

It's really holding on.

But the strange thing is that the new emperor is wearing a white gauze hat, not to mention covering his face, and the dragon robe he is wearing is also very ill-fitting, as if it was stolen.

Big fat, baggy.

Could it be that this person is not the new emperor?
As soon as such thoughts arose, the person on the dragon chair said, "The whole country is safe today, and I am very relieved that all my loved ones can come."

It was the voice of the emperor, that's right.

It's just, why is it a little immature, like an endorsement tone.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong.

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, the atmosphere of suspicion in my heart was churning to the extreme.

Then, Ji Yunshu stood up.

"The emperor has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body is not very healthy. The imperial doctor said that it will take a while to mend it. The next thing will be done by the king of this county."

As he spoke, he sang loudly, "Let's attend the banquet and serve the food."

Even if someone murmured, why do you speak instead of the emperor, Prince Qingping, but with the continuous delivery of food by the court ladies and eunuchs, what you wanted to say still choked in your throat.

The rest are all amazed at the dishes in front of me.

What, they are all raw.

Raw vegetables, raw meat slices, raw mushrooms.

Everything is raw, but how to eat it?
Could it be that Rumao drinks blood and returns to the life of his ancestors?
Some people's eyes widened, and before they started complaining, more people with discerning eyes and pearls laughed happily.

As we all know, the dishes at the banquet are all superficial decorations.

Not to mention the huge amount of dishes, it is very difficult for the chef to prepare them on hand. There is not enough manpower, so we can only prepare them in advance, and they are often cold when they are served.

Even the hot soup that just came out of the pot has arrived at the table for everyone to have a conversation, and then enjoy some singing and dancing. When the chopsticks are really used, it is basically completely cold.

Big elbows, beef stew, all of them are fancy or not.

Everyone can pick up two chopsticks, it's all to save face for the host of the banquet.

But today's New Year's Eve banquet is very different.

Raw vegetables?That's a good thing.

Ask why?
Of course, it's because of another identity of the princess of Qingping County, the owner of Sixi Tower.

Sixilou's hot pot business often reaches its peak in winter, and ordinary people can't queue up to eat, so they can only imitate it at home.

Those who can stand in the queue can't eat it every day, because it is too expensive to afford, and if they eat too much, they will go bankrupt.

There are only a few people who can really eat it often, and those who are willing to eat it because they don't have a holiday with the Prince's Mansion of Qingping County.

But today, at the banquet where I thought I would eat cold dishes like in the past, I actually wanted to serve hot pot.

It was so exciting.

Although there was a charcoal fire in the hall, it was winter and it was still cold.

Being able to have a mouthful of hot soup and hot rice at this time, I have to say that Princess Qingping County is really generous and caring.

When the maids were serving the copper pot, some sensible people had already cast grateful glances at Qiao.

There is no doubt that there are so many hot pots.

Qiao Lianlian did shed some blood, but she was quite happy to be able to promote the hot pot and sell her eldest son as a favor.

As for the thankful looks from so many people, she just accepted them.

"It's very cold today, the princess of the county is considerate of everyone, and she specially served hot pot to comfort the cold, and I hope everyone will have a good time." Ji Yunshu said a few more words specially to win Qiao Lian's goodwill.

Soon, the eunuchs filled the copper pot with charcoal fire, and the already hot soup boiled instantly.

As greedy as Yu Feique, he had already picked up a piece of mutton and threw it in for rinsing.

Soon, the temperature in the hall also rose accordingly, and most people felt comfortable even though they hadn't eaten.

But soon, their comfort will end.

Because the people from Dayuan have arrived.

"Report to Your Majesty, the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty and the envoys of Goryeo are here." A young eunuch knelt on the ground and reported.

New Year's Eve is not only a festival for ministers to watch the year, but also a time to watch Dayuan and Goryeo meet and offer offerings.

The first emperor deliberately set the day for them to deliver the offerings on the day when the old and new years alternated, and even in front of so many people, it also meant to uplift the national style and coerce the two countries.

"Xuan." The voice of the person on the dragon chair was indifferent, and no fluctuations could be heard.

The little eunuch bowed his head and stepped back.

Not long after, the people from Dayuan, who were shouting and drinking, and the people from Korea, who were a little feminine, walked in.

"Greetings to Emperor Dayu, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

They saluted with bad official words.

"Pingshen." The person on the dragon chair said calmly, "Give me a seat and a hot pot."

Both the Dayuan people and the Korean people were startled.

Cizuo they know, what is Cichao?
Are they going to be cooked?
Soon, when the dishes and pots were placed on the table, they were relieved to be sure that they were not going to cook themselves.

However, they were as confused as some of the previous courtiers, and did not understand what these things were for.

"Friends from neighboring countries, it's not easy to send tributes from thousands of miles away. Today, the emperor specially prepared our capital's special food hot pot for you. I hope you like it." Ji Yunshu looked like a diplomat, talking eloquently without any stage fright.

The leader of the Dayuan man glanced at him, then at the hot pot, and suddenly laughed, "Take out the raw things like this. Is there no charcoal fire in Dayu, or is there no cook? If not, our Dayuan can provide it." , we must never let you drink blood and eat these raw things."

He, Dayu, speaks very sharply, but inside and outside of his words, he looks down on Dayu a bit.

Ji Yunshu's complexion fell instantly.

Now it is Dayuan offering sacrifices to Dayu, how could it be his turn to get a few Dayuan people to be arrogant in the Golden Luan Hall, immediately, he said coldly, "This is the most precious food in our capital, if you don't like it, you can just remove it , go back to your Dayuan to eat cattle and sheep, don't be sarcastic here."

The leader of the Great Yuan said these words to test Ji Yunshu's bottom line.

When he learned that this person is not easy to provoke, and Dayu is not easy to provoke, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, "You are the county prince of Dayu, what you said is that we laymen don't understand, thank you We like this hot pot very much.”

As usual, if people in Dayuan bow their heads, Dayu will not be aggressive, lest the two countries go to war again.

But this time, Ji Yunshu frowned and said, "You said you liked it before you ate it? How did you like it? If you liked it, why didn't you eat it?"

The Dayuan people were stunned.

In unfamiliar places, they never ate much.

One is that I am not used to eating, and the other is that I am afraid that there is something in it.

So for a while, the Dayuan people hesitated, not knowing whether to take two bites to prove themselves, or to shirk to the end.

"Why, you don't dare to eat it?" Ji Yunshu said at this time, "If you are afraid that there is something in it, there is no need, the king of this county can taste it for you."

As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up the mutton in front of him, and rinsed it in the copper pot in front of the Dayuan people.

Soon, the mutton changed color, and a strong fresh fragrance rushed over.

He stuffed the meat into his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach in twos and threes.

"What? How dare you eat it now?" Prince Qingping still spoke aggressively.

People from Dayuan look at me, I look at you, and finally touched the chopsticks hesitantly, imitating Ji Yunshu's appearance, throwing the meat slices into the pot, picking them up when the color changed, slowly stuffing them into his mouth, and slowly Taste and swallow slowly.

After a while, all the Dayuan people's complexions changed drastically, and they looked straight at Ji Yunshu with a terrified expression as if struck by lightning.
