Chapter 769 Princess Yongan
Ye Xing and others entered the Prince Consort's Mansion, and after chatting with the ministers for a few words, they found a quiet place to sit down. After all, this kind of excitement was not suitable for them.
This kind of liveliness was so noisy that they felt unaware of it, and most of this liveliness was superficial. On the surface, the people here were in high spirits, talking to each other about things that seemed to interest everyone, but in their hearts,
Everyone is squeezing each other out, thinking about how to get on top of each other faster.
It was almost noon when Prince Zhu Gaochi brought his people. The arrival of the prince made the originally lively courtyard suddenly quiet. They saluted to the prince repeatedly to show their respect for him.
This is a rule, and none of them can break it.
After the salute, Prince Zhu Gaochi smiled happily and said: "Today is to celebrate the birthday of my imperial sister, Princess Yong'an. Ministers, please drink happily and don't have any restraints, otherwise the imperial sister will not let me come for her next birthday.
"[
While they were talking, the Prince Consort Yuan Rong helped Princess Yong'an out in a hurry. Princess Yong'an looked at the Prince Zhu Gaochi and said with a smile: "What did the Prince say? As a prince, they should salute you. This will never change in your life."
Yes, if your imperial sister and I celebrate my birthday, I will definitely be angry if you dare not come."
Everyone knew about the relationship between the prince and Princess Yong'an, and also knew that what they said was just a joke, so after saying a few words, everyone no longer restrained themselves and started drinking happily.
The prince and Princess Yong'an were sitting at the upper table, and the ministers were sitting at the lower table. After the banquet started, the ministers took turns coming forward to congratulate Princess Yong'an on her birthday. They said many congratulatory messages, but none of them were the same. Ye Xing listened to them
After finishing speaking, I really admired these ancient officials. After all, they had poems and books in their belly, so they could speak a lot.
As the Ming Dynasty King, Ye Xing had to step forward and say a few polite words to make Princess Yong'an happy as usual. So when it was Ye Xing's turn, Ye Xing stood up and bowed his hands to Princess Yong'an and said: "Today is the birthday of the princess, and the court is full of civil and military officials."
Coming here to celebrate her birthday is a great event for us in the Ming Dynasty. I have a special gift for Princess Yongan today, and I hope the princess will accept it."
Ye Xing said, and asked people to bring up the cream cake made by Hua Zhimeng.
After the cream cake was brought up, everyone was a little surprised, because the cream cake was very delicately made and looked like a big handicraft, and many people here also thought it was a piece of art.
Crafts, not food to eat.
Princess Yong'an was very curious after seeing the cream cake, so she looked at Ye Xing and asked: "I wonder what kind of gift the Ming Dynasty gave to this princess. It looks so exquisite!"
Ye Xing smiled slightly and replied: "Back to the princess, this gift is called butter cake. It is made of more than ten kinds of ingredients. I will eat it when I celebrate my birthday as a way to express my congratulations."
Princess Yong'an heard Ye Xing say that this cream cake was a kind of food, and her appetite immediately aroused, so she opened her mouth and ordered: "Since it is a kind of food, let's share it with everyone!"
Just when Ye Xing was about to step forward to cut the cake, Ji Gang suddenly stood up and said, "Princess Yong'an, gifts are usually given to the birthday girl. How can you cut them up and share them on the spot? Wouldn't this be bad?"
In the five thousand years of Chinese history, most gifts were not opened in front of guests, let alone used or eaten immediately. Nowadays, it is indeed unreasonable to eat gifts sent by guests on the way to a birthday.
This made Princess Yong'an hesitate. Is it appropriate to open the gift given to her by the Ming Dynasty King Ye Xing now?
Ye Xing saw that Ji Gang was causing trouble for him, so he smiled at Princess Yong'an and said: "Princess, you are worrying too much. This cake is food, it does not last long, and it is most atmospheric when you eat it on your birthday. Happy birthday to the princess."
I just want everyone to be happy together, so why not share the cake?"
Prince Zhu Gaochi was obese, which was naturally caused by his love of eating. Now that he saw a cream cake that he had never eaten before, and it looked delicious, how could he let it go, so he said to Ye Xing
Then he also said: "Ye Aiqing is right. When the emperor's sister celebrates her birthday, it is natural for everyone to be happy together. Let's share this cream cake so that everyone can enjoy the blessing of the emperor's sister."
Now that Prince Zhu Gaochi has spoken, Ji Gang can no longer refute it. Princess Yongan nodded slightly: "Please cut it into pieces, King Ming!"
Ye Xing skillfully cut the cake and put it on a plate, and then asked a servant to bring one portion to the prince and Princess Yong'an first. The prince-in-law Yuan Rong saw that Ye Xing only cut two portions first without his own, and his face
The color sank slightly.
Prince Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yong'an looked at the cream cake on the plate and couldn't help swallowing. Then they picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it into their mouths. The lubrication and sweetness of the cream made them
The two of them couldn't believe it for a moment.
The two of them took one bite and then another, and did not stop until they finished eating. Then Prince Zhu Gaochi said excitedly: "Ye Aiqing's cream cake is so delicious, why didn't I have it before?"
Have you heard of it?”
Ye Xing smiled slightly: "To be honest, this cream cake was developed by Hua Zhimeng, and I just heard about it." [
Princess Yong'an glanced at Hua Zhimeng and said with a smile: "Girl Hua's craftsmanship is really good. Can you teach the chef in my house someday? If I want to eat, I can eat it at any time."
Hua Zhimeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Of course, this skill is not a secret. The most important thing is that Her Highness the Princess likes it."
Hua Zhimeng's mouth is so sweet that she even made Princess Yong'an happy.
After Prince Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yong'an praised it, they realized that the ministers sitting here could not help but drool, so Princess Yong'an quickly ordered: "Cut the cake and share it with the ministers here!"
After the ministers got the cake, they ate it with gusto. Only Ji Gang took the plate in his hand, but he didn't know whether to eat it or not. If he eats it, he thinks it will be cheaper for Ye Xing, but if he doesn't eat it, he wants to eat it again.
Moreover, this is a gift from the Crown Prince and Princess Yong'an, so I'm afraid it's impossible not to eat it.
After finally thinking about it again and again, Ji Gang picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Eating cake is just a small part of celebrating a birthday. After eating snacks, everyone still has to drink as much as they want. For those who drink and eat meat, although the cake is good, the taste is a bit monotonous after all. Where is this big fish?
Eating big meat is comfortable and enjoyable.
So soon, the birthday atmosphere was revived again, everyone toasted and congratulated each other, and it was the lively atmosphere again.
This birthday celebration for Princess Yongan lasted until dusk, and by that time, everyone was almost drunk.
