"It's true that this is dough, but is this ordinary dough?" Fan Wuguo said confidently.

"Yes, yes, it was made by my own hands, so it must be extraordinary. I will reward you with a lot of reward." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Well, it's unusual. I'll add a portion too."

Only then was Fan Wuguo satisfied and left.

However, King Heng seems to be even more of a joke. He prepared such a generous birthday gift. Although it seems that he has received a reward, it does not necessarily mean that he has made the two people above him happy. The reward is just because the birthday gift is really good.

, it doesn’t seem good not to reward him. Then everyone else will have a share, right? Now there is Fan Wuguo, and he is no longer the only one to receive two rewards.

The most interesting thing is that the reward he exchanged for something worth tens of millions of taels, Fan Wuguo got with just a few dough balls. The former gift should have made people happy, but they didn't; the latter thing goes without saying.

How could he be compared to the chef in the imperial dining room? It was obvious that he really pleased the two of them. The two above were smiling happily, but none of their own sons and grandsons were treated like this.

However, King Heng Gui joked that he was more jealous of Fan Wuguo, but no matter how jealous he was, it was useless. They didn't dare to do anything to him at all, but think about it, it was better for their father to pamper an "outsider" than to pamper him.

No matter how favored Fan Wuguo is, one of their brothers will not compete with them for the throne. Considering this, it is not intolerable.

Later, it was said that some people gave birthday gifts, but compared to the previous ones, which were as exciting as a big drama, the latter part was really dull and not worth watching. However, birthday gifts were not a big drama in the first place, so for most people

People still hope that things can go by calmly without making a fuss. At this time, it is good to stand out, but if it goes too far, it is better to be average.

It's over when it's over. Except for King Heng, there shouldn't be too much to worry about. However, there are still people who are upset and pouring wine into their stomachs one cup after another. This person is King Dun. After all, it's because of King Heng's trouble.

As soon as he came out, everyone after him was rewarded, but King Dun in front of him didn't get anything - he had neglected his fourth brother, who was completely incapable of competing for the throne, in his eyes

The Invisible Man—isn’t he going crazy? No matter what the reason is for others to receive rewards, as long as it is a reward, it is a favor. He has nothing, nothing! He becomes the laughing stock of everyone, and those who don’t know think that

He is the most pitiable wretch!

From time to time, he looked at King Heng with eyes that were filled with knives. He wished he could kill King Heng too late.

King Heng was not in a good mood to begin with, but King Dun's reaction actually made him feel more balanced. Sure enough, no matter what happened, it was still in comparison, so he smiled coolly at King Dun.

King Dun had never been a very tolerant person, so he almost jumped because of King Heng's smile.

If the person next to you hadn't held it down evenly, there might have been a fuss.

Emperor Xuanren seemed to have glanced in their direction. Because of this, they all became silent and fell asleep, not daring to do anything else.

After all, the entire banquet will last for such a long time, so this performance must be indispensable. This is basically an indispensable part of every palace banquet. Wen Renying also whispered a lot in Xiaocao's ear.

Xiaocao is naturally familiar with singing, dancing, and art performances, but today is not the first time for this pure ancient style performance. However, it was relatively scattered in the past, and I have seen a lot of folk acrobatics, not to mention when I traveled all over the country.

I often see performers, and there are also large gatherings gathered together during special festivals.

There must have been some similar gatherings in the Imperial City, and Xiaocao also participated in the fun twice.

The opening program was a bit unexpected. Various musical instruments were brought on, and Xiaocao had never even seen more than half of them. Naturally, there were more unspeakable things.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that she is a country bumpkin. Because of this, even if Xiaocao doesn't understand much about this large-scale performance, she still listens to it with gusto. It must be completely different from the performance in her previous life, and there is no way to comment on it.

Which one is better, which one has higher skills? Alas, country bumpkins don’t need to play with such high-end things. Just listen to it and think it sounds good. That’s it.

Just listen to other people's comments occasionally.

Because she is the Queen Mother Qianqiu, there will naturally be no more provocative dances. The dancers are also well covered in this hot day, which is not interesting to most people.

There is just a dance in the middle, which extends from the second stage down the steps to the end of the many ladies' seats, which looks a bit majestic.

After this dance, Emperor Xuanren and the Queen Mother left their seats, followed by a group of waiting people, and walked to the ladies' seat, where they looked like they were going to toast these old people in person.

For an emperor to be able to do this, Xiaocao, a rough-and-tumble man, had to sigh that Emperor Xuanren's skill in "bribing people's hearts" was really not bad. Of course, the practical things he did to benefit the people definitely deserved a sentence.

"Mingjun".

Even from a distance, it seemed that the excitement of the old people could be felt. A "baby banquet" would probably allow them to show off for the rest of their lives.

The behavior of the Queen Mother and Emperor Xuanren seemed to be the beginning of the toast.

First of all, the princes imitated their fathers and toasted to the elderly. Some of them did it more "properly", and even talked to some elderly people at close range to express their care, and then gave the elderly "

Show off your conversational skills" was added.

However, Xiaocao couldn't help but frown slightly. Except for the little prince who was only a few years old, even those who were seven or eight years old imitated their elder brothers in toasting. Looking at them, there might be courtiers behind them.

When there are a large number of people, even if it is just a small cup per person, it may not be a problem for those old people who can drink. However, for most old people, drinking this wine is not a good thing and may cause trouble.

If something happens to an old man at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet...

Xiaocao couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up, walked two steps, and whispered a few words into her mother's ear.

Han's heart also jumped, not sure and no one had thought of this in advance, "Xuan'er, go find the old concubine."

The old concubine and the others were seated on the second stage. After hearing her mother's words, Xiaocao did not hesitate and left the table without any slowness.

Naturally, she couldn't just barge in to the old dowager's seat, so she could ask the palace people to help her.

Knowing that it was Xiaocao who was looking for her, the old concubine didn't waste a moment. She met Xiaocao and asked, "What's going on, girl Xuan?"

Xiaocao expressed her worries.

The reaction of the old concubine and the Han family were similar. It should be said that they, old ladies, were naturally taken care of carefully. Besides, usually no one would toast them, and they would usually just drink it with their mouths. However, those old ladies did not

Similarly, it was the first time for most of them to step into the imperial city, meet the emperor, and meet so many noble people. How could they be so perfunctory when these people toasted to them? They must be drinking one cup at a time.

If they don't think about this in advance and don't prepare low-alcohol drinks for them, the consequences...

"Follow me!" The old concubine pulled the grass and left, getting up to the highest position from the side.

The identity of the old concubine was revealed there, so she called the palace attendants nearby and the eunuch chief next to Emperor Xuanren. Naturally, this person was Eunuch Hong Yi Hong.

When Hong Yi saw the old concubine, he was naturally respectful and looked kindly towards Xiao Cao.

The old concubine did not speak, but let Xiaocao speak.

After hearing this, Eunuch Hong hurriedly asked someone to ask what kind of drinks were prepared for the old people. He was the steward around Emperor Xuanren. It was naturally easy to ask such a thing. He quickly got the news, and

The news made people's eyes go dark, and their hearts were beating wildly. "These idiots!" he couldn't help but curse.

Xiaocao breathed a little quickly, rubbed her brows, turned around and saw another courtier walking down the second stage, "Hurry up and stop them, don't go to toast anymore. Father-in-law, go call someone, I will tell you a recipe to save the soup.

Hurry and let the imperial kitchen prepare it."

Hong Yi responded hurriedly, grabbed a person nearby, and then hurried to Emperor Xuanren's place.

Hong Yi whispered a few words quickly into Emperor Xuanren's ear, and Emperor Xuanren's expression suddenly changed. He asked the ministers who had stepped down from the second stage to block him back, and he stood up straight away.

Xiaocao over there was the quickest to get paper and pen, and was writing prescriptions in a hurry. Because there were so many people, each medicine required a large amount, even more than ten kilograms. Just in case.

, cooked in a large pot, the portion size of each pot is still marked.

"Put cold water into the pot and boil it completely before use. In addition, call everyone from Taiyuan Hospital to come in immediately and act quickly."

After saying that, he raised his head and saw Emperor Xuanren. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met the emperor."

"No courtesy." Emperor Xuanren waved his hand, "A girl from the Wenren minister's family?"

"yes."

"You are indeed a good girl. Fortunately, you have considered this, otherwise the consequences may be unimaginable. I will reward you generously afterwards."

"This is what a minister should do." Xiaocao said with some anxiety, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and take a look."

"If you are interested, go ahead. Hong Yi, take some people with you and follow Miss Wenren."

Xiaocao and Hong Yi agreed one after another. Xiaocao didn't even care about etiquette, turned around and left. The speed of his feet became faster and faster, and finally he started trotting directly. Hong Yi didn't dare to neglect at all, and called someone quickly.

Then only Emperor Xuanren and the old concubine were left.

"This girl is a good one." Because Wei Tingyu had "reported" to him, Emperor Xuanren knew "a lot of things." Thinking of Wei Tingyu, it seemed that Wei Tingyu was indeed in trouble, but he was not without luck.

"Yes, this girl has the words "doctor's kindness" engraved in her bones."

No one had thought about these things. She had thought about it, but she could have just pretended that she didn't know and didn't get involved. After all, if there was any eventuality in this matter, for her, it would do more harm than good.

If something happens to an elderly person, will Emperor Xuanren take his anger out on her? As long as she gets involved, she will be the target of public criticism. Who knows how many people will be targeted.

"emperor……"

"Old concubine, there is no need to say anything. I know what you want to say. In the final analysis, I am also at fault in this matter. I naturally cannot make people feel cold to those who have meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Old concubine, what are you talking about?"

Emperor Xuanren was the target of others' constant attention. He had just changed his face and left the table. Some people noticed it and to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil, Emperor Xuanren returned to the table.

When Hong Yi was talking just now, the Queen Mother was listening, and she couldn't help but feel worried in her heart. However, she was not the kind of person who could not be steady. Emperor Xuan Ren left the table, but she could not.

When Emperor Xuanren came back, he asked, "Your Majesty, how is the matter?"

"Mother, there is no need to worry." Emperor Xuanren said the matter simply.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Didn't anyone think of this?"

Emperor Xuanren was silent. Maybe someone thought of it, but didn't report it for some unknown reason, or maybe it didn't attract enough attention.

The Queen Mother was very happy at first, but now she felt depressed.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, everything will be fine."

"I hope so." If something goes wrong, she, the Queen Mother, should be blamed.
