The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 735
The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in the Queen's Kunning Palace.Of course, those who can serve the table are the masters of the palace.

The emperor, the empress, noble lady Xuan, and two little princesses and the little prince.

There is also Xiaowen, a female official in the palace, who was also allowed to serve on the table by the emperor.

Before the banquet started, Xiaowen led the maids in the palace to pay New Year greetings to the emperor, empress and noble lady Xuan.

The chief eunuch Zhang Hai also led a group of eunuchs to visit the New Year in turn and say auspicious words.

The queen had already prepared for it, and prepared a New Year's red envelope for everyone with a smile.For a moment, the entire palace was filled with joy.

Jiang Chuan had already ordered that the New Year's Eve dinner should not be too extravagant, just enough to eat.

In fact, in terms of taste, the food in the palace is not necessarily better than the food in private restaurants outside.After all, the recipes in the palace were all reviewed and formulated by the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, with health preservation as the main purpose, so many meals were relatively bland in taste, and the imperial dining room was careful not to use too many seasonings when cooking.

Many of the meals outside are rich in oil and salt, heavy in taste, and highly irritating to people's sense of taste, so in terms of taste, most people think that the food outside is more delicious.

Jiang Chuan was originally a child of an ordinary family, and he didn't pay much attention to food. He only had three meals a day.

Empress Bai Jinxiu and Qi Xuan are also not that particular about food, so the meals in the imperial dining room will be mainly light and home-cooked.

In this way, the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were embarrassed at first.They are used to cooking palace dishes, but they are not used to suddenly changing to home-cooked dishes.

But after a long time, everyone has felt the benefits of this, the imperial dining room is not so tired, and the masters eat happily, killing two birds with one stone.

It is even more worry-free for the eunuchs who are buying. They don't need to buy so many precious ingredients, so the difficulty of buying is naturally much less.

But correspondingly, there is a lot less oil and water in it.However, the purchasing matters in the palace have always been in charge of the female official Xiaowen.With Xiaowen's shrewdness, if these purchasing eunuchs dare to do something in it, they will definitely not be able to please them.

In short, whether it was because of the emperor's usual habits or because of the need to be diligent and thrifty at the beginning of the founding of the country, the entire atmosphere in the palace was simple and simple, completely abandoning the extravagant and wasteful atmosphere in the palace of the previous dynasty.

So although it is the emperor's New Year's Eve dinner, the total number of large plates and small bowls is only a dozen dishes, and most of them are common dishes among the people.

After the dishes were served, all the eunuchs and maids retreated, leaving only Zhang Hai and a few people waiting outside, in case there was any errand, there would be someone there at any time.

"Your Majesty, this steamed carp dish was cooked by the queen's sister herself. My sister knows that your majesty likes to eat it, so she made it specially for your majesty." Sitting on the emperor's right hand, Xuan nobleman pointed to a dish on the table with a smile.

Jiang Chuan took a closer look, sniffed, and then said intoxicated: "It really is a familiar formula, a familiar taste. My greedy worms were hooked out all of a sudden."

Empress Bai Jinxiu, who was on the left hand side of the emperor, saw her husband like this, she was happy in her heart, and smiled softly: "It's been more than two years and you still haven't gotten tired of eating. You said that the royal chef in the palace can't cook the taste you like, I will give it to you." You do it, and you are afraid that if I smoke the lampblack, it will be bad for the child. Now that the child is born and it is Chinese New Year, I just do it casually. Fortunately, the craftsmanship is not unfamiliar."

Jiang Chuan was moved, put his big arms around the queen, kissed her fair and firm pretty face with a smile and said: "Sure enough, she is my good queen and wife."

The queen blushed all of a sudden, and said angrily: "You old and unscrupulous, the children are watching."

Jiang Chuan looked up, and sure enough, a pair of children were looking at them with bright black eyes in the swaddling clothes next to them.

"Haha, although you two little guys don't understand anything yet, your father will treat you equally." Jiang Chuan smiled and walked to the front of the crib, and carefully hugged the two little guys one by one. Kissed hard on the little cheeks.

Daughter Jiang Yunxue suddenly opened her mouth and laughed, her chubby hands and feet were dancing, looking very happy.

The son Jiang Yunfan looked at his emperor's father with wide eyes curiously, as if he was saying, Dad, what are you doing?
Jiang Chuan laughed even more when he was amused by the different reactions of his sons and daughters. He turned to the queen and said, "Our girl is amazing. She must be a happy fruit when she grows up. This kid seems to have a calm and restrained personality. A compatriot of the same mother, It’s really a different character.”

The queen smiled and said, "The dragon has nine sons, each of which is different. It is better for the son to be more calm."

Xuan nobleman also borrowed the words and said with a smile: "Sister Queen is right. The princess grows up to be a golden branch and jade leaf with thousands of pets. It is better to be lively. When the little prince grows up, he will learn to govern the country from His Majesty." , naturally it is better to be calm."

"That makes sense. After all, this kid is going to take over from me in the future. It's not good to be too out of touch." Jiang Chuan put the child back in the pram, and nodded back at the dining table.

This son is his eldest son, and he will be the No. 1 choice of the crown prince in the future.It was natural for Jiang Chuan to say this, and everyone took it for granted.

Although Xiaowen was sitting at the side, she was too busy feeding and pouring wine for the masters, so busy that she couldn't even take care of eating.

"Xiaowen, you sit down, there are no outsiders here, and there are not so many rules. The rules are for outsiders, not for distinction." Jiang Chuan looked at Xiaowen's busyness and waved his hands.

The queen also said: "Sit down and eat, Your Majesty is right, there are not so many rules for today's birthday."

Xiaowen thanked the two masters, then sat down and began to move her chopsticks.

Although the status is different now, they are all young people, and Jiang Chuan is also unruly. After a while, a few people started pushing and changing glasses, and they all became slightly drunk.

It is impossible for a master like Jiang Chuan to get drunk with the low-alcohol alcohol of today, at most he is a little tipsy.

But after drinking, the atmosphere gradually became casual and relaxed, and everyone's chatterbox was also opened.

While drinking wine, several people talked about many things in the past, and they were filled with emotion for a while.

The three daughters have been with Jiang Chuan since the start-up period. Although Qi Xuan is a bit late, she has been with Jiang Chuan for more than two years. Speaking of which, we have experienced many things together.

Now that the world is tentatively set, and recalling the hardships of starting a business in the past, I feel full of emotion.

"Your Majesty, if you hadn't killed Haidongqing back then, my concubine would have passed away by now. Concubine, I would like to respect Your Majesty!" Qi Xuan drank a little too much, and her normally steady and restrained voice was a little excited , holding a glass of wine to respect Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan took the wine and drank it down, put his arms around Qi Xuan and said, "It's all predestined by God. You have worked hard by my side these past few years, and you have helped me a lot. I will remember all of this in my heart. Both you and Jinxiu She is my beloved woman, and I will love you very much."

As he said that, he stretched out his arms to hug the queen on the left, and kissed each of the two girls' cheeks. Their blushing pretty faces became even hotter, but their hearts were very sweet.

Although Xiaowen on the side was calm on the surface, the envy in her eyes was clearly seen under the stimulation of alcohol.

Seeing this, the queen felt a move in her heart, sat up straight, and said to Jiang Chuan, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."
