Chapter 192 Royal Dinner

After all, the imperial dining room is the imperial dining room. Not to mention the efficiency alone, it is not comparable to ordinary cooks. Shangguan Yunba just ordered that there was no cup of tea. Nangong Miin is still lamenting the luxury of the imperial palace, and the imperial dining room has begun to serve dishes.

Because considering the cultivation of Nangong Miin, the imperial dining room even made a Qinghe Longmen crucian carp. This kind of fish is delicious, not to mention the delicious meat. It is said that Tianhe, a ranger from the Heavenly Palace, can be said to be hard to find. This dish is also a metaphorical. The fish leaps over the dragon and changes the dragon. This dish only takes a bite, which is powerful all over the world. Even if it is a dragon, it is just a meal in the emperor's mouth.

After Shangguan Yunba finished eating, the dishes were put on the long table. Nangong Miyin was embarrassed to find that she couldn't reach the table. Fortunately, the eunuch beside him immediately picked up the plate and passed the dishes to Nangong Miyin. Only then did this avoid the embarrassment of Nangong Yayin.

"Thank you!" Nangong Miin smiled and thanked him. Anyway, the other party relieved himself, and it was at least appropriate to say thank you. Even if Nangong Miyin is extremely smart and has been served since she was a child, she has never seen the way of eating in this palace.

People are actually 8,000 miles away from the table, and I don't know if the emperor can stand eating like this every day. Of course, what Nangong Miin doesn't know is that the emperor doesn't like this, so he basically won't eat here except for very formal occasions.

"You're welcome, Lady! It's my honor to serve you. Among the exiles at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there are slave relatives who have heard about you from them.

"Oh? So you know me?" Nangong Miyin asked curiously. He has seen many people who have heard rumors. He has heard of his own people directly from the people. It is the first time that Nangong Miyin has seen them.

The eunuch respectfully thanked: "I am very grateful to the goddess. There happens to be a slave's parents among the people you saved. If it weren't for the maidens who wanted to save me, I didn't know that even if my parents died, it was really unfilial." Although the eunuch spoke in a shrill voice, as a son of man, he really has at least filial piety.

"Your Excellency, can the imperial meal in this palace still meet the appetite of Your Excellency?" Shangguan Yunba frowned and asked when he saw that Nangong Miyin and the little eunuch didn't know what to say.

Hearing this, Nangong Miin picked up his chopsticks and picked them up from the dinner plate. This is the second appetizer, including lotus root and red pepper. Naturally, I don't know the name Nangong Miyin. After a sip, the lotus root is crisp and delicious, sweet and sour.

I couldn't help sighing in my heart, "It's worthy of being the imperial chef in the palace. This skill is really speechless." Thinking so in his heart, a happy smile appeared on his face and said, "Very good!"

This dish is a small dish before the meal, so there is no metaphor. It all means on the first dish.

"Haha! OK, someone give me a reward!" Shangguan Yun Tyrannosaurus Reaur said happily. Nangong Miin found that after the dishes were served, she would put a small piece of paper in front of the plate with the name of the chef who made the dish.

This is not only for reward. When there is a problem with cooking, you also have to ask the imperial chef. Moreover, the royal chef had better look forward to the drug test, and don't have any problems. Otherwise, no matter whether his life is in order, even the whole family will be buried together.

"Thank you, Lord Long!" Naturally, this was not said by the cook, but by the eunuch, the leader of the imperial dining room. When the emperor was eating, he naturally watched outside the canteen. If there is anything big or small, it is easy to deal with in time.

Although the food was good, Nangong Miin became depressed at that time. Because this imperial meal is very different from that of ordinary people. Even if you are extremely rich, it is impossible for ordinary people to eat like this.

The third dish is a sea bowl one foot wide and half a foot high. In the middle of the sea bowl, there is mountain-like rice and let the two eunuchs come up. There is a small bowl next to the big bowl. Although the things in the small bowl can't be seen, it can be smelled by Nangong Miin. It should be syrup or something.

And the rice is still raw rice. When Nangong Miin was wondering how to eat this, Shangguan Yunba poured the syrup into the rice mountain and then signaled that it could be served. The two eunuchs put Mi Shan in the middle of the long dining table in the middle.

It seemed that he saw the doubt in Nangong Miin's heart. The eunuch who was responsible for passing the dish to Nangong Miyin quickly bowed his head and explained to Nangong Miin, "Your Excellency, this dish is one of the dishes. Mishan means Jiangshan. When the syrup is cold, it will solidify Mishan. This is called Jiangshan Yonggu.

Nangong Miyin asked in surprise, "What do you mean is that so much rice is just for viewing, and you will throw it away after reading it?" Nangong Miyin didn't care about the silver money, but Nangong Miin still felt a little uncomfortable with such a waste of food.

Then the same dishes were served, but this time the dishes were not served in the plate city, but in copper. Each dish was given to Shangguan Yunba a glance, and then placed on the table, slowly forming a circle around the country.

Nangong Miyin counted, a total of 12 bronze tripods, which just surrounded Mishan into a circle. Nangong Miyin thought to himself, "It seems that this is also a dish!"

Sure enough, the eunuch next to him explained again, "Your Excellency, these 12 dishes are made of local special materials from 12 provinces of Fengchu, which means that the country is eternal and the sea is peaceful."

After saying that, he lowered his voice again and explained quietly: "If there is a rebellion in that province, the tripod of this province will be removed, and it will not be taken down until the rebellion is pacified!" It meant to remind the emperor not to forget the people!"

The eunuch didn't say anything later, and Nangong Mi didn't ask. However, I know in my heart that this metaphor has now completely become a decoration.

And Nangong Miyin feels very disgusted with this meaningless extravagance and waste. You know, there is no other reason for more than a dozen dishes, just to take a look and ask for a metaphor.

Finally, the regular dishes were finished before the meal officially began. At this time, Nangong Miin had already been hungry.

For each dish, Shangguan Yunba will have a look first. If Shangguan Yunba is satisfied, there will naturally be eunuchs respectfully put Shangguan Yunba in the bowl. Then it will be served on the table.

"Your Majesty? I can't eat this much for the two of us. Can we stop the food? Until more than 40 dishes were served, Nangong Miyin felt that after all, there were only two of them in the imperial palace, and this dish was endless. Nangong Miin felt that it was a little too exaggerated. So he stopped it.

After all, the imperial meals eaten by these emperors will obviously not be taken down for those eunuchs to eat. In the end, they should only throw them away directly. It's really too wasteful.

"Your Lady doesn't need to care. Although it's just the two of us, this dish must be full. This is the rule. There are 108 dishes. It means that the king's power will live forever and keep the peace. Shangguan Yunba explained.

"The people know!" Nangong Miyin said with a smile. He did sneer in his heart: "The people are almost undressed, and you, the emperor, actually need 108 dishes for a meal, and you only eat one bite of each meal. It seems that you should be extravagant in your life!"

In fact, this is Nangong Miyin who wronged Shangguan Yunba. As an emperor, the country is his own after all, so he also knows this kind of luxury and waste. After all, it is not a good thing.

But this is the rule for eating in the imperial palace. These rules have been passed down since the founding of the State of Fengchu. Now it has formed an independent rule that is completely unconstrained by imperial power.

If Shangguan Yunba makes a change in this regard, not to mention anything else, even the official and imperial history in the court will participate in his own emperor in this book.

So Shangguan Yunba will not come here to eat when it is unnecessary or in a very formal situation.

In this way, 108 dishes are gradually finished. During this period, if Shangguan Yunba eats any particularly profitable dishes, he will also signal Nangong Miyin Bucai. If you are happy to eat, you will also be rewarded by a cook.

The taste of these dishes is excellent. After all, the imperial chefs are also famous chefs selected from thousands of people from all over the country, and their craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable.

Nangong Miin is naturally very happy to eat. No one can really refuse the food **, especially those who cook these delicacies, or the imperial chef in the palace.

Perhaps there are many folk cooking skills, which are comparable to the imperial chefs in the palace. But these people are all lurking in the vast sea of people. To find them, they not only need to know the location clearly, but also need some opportunity and luck.

So it is the first time that Nangong Miin has eaten such a delicious dish.

Shangguan Yunba saw Nangong Miyin's eyebrows flying, and even his smile seemed to fall into the mortal world. He couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart and felt that he was one step closer to his big plan.

So he took the opportunity to say, "Your Excellency the goddess, can the imperial cooking skills of our Fengchu country still enter the mouth of the goddess?"

"It tastes very good!" Nangong Miin replied with a smile,

"If the goddess is willing to stay in my Fengchu country, you can enjoy such delicious food every day!" Shangguan Yunba ** Tao.

It's no wonder that Shangguan Yunba's methods are shallow. After all, all his advantages can't be shown in front of Nangong Miin. Only with this appetite, Shangguan Yunba feels that even in the heavenly palace, it should be clear tea and fresh water, which is not as good as the world's famous chef.

Hearing this, Nangong Miyin was thinking about how to answer that he would not refute the emperor's face. After all, people just warmly invited themselves to taste the delicious food of Fengchu, but did not directly express any other meaning.

"The Queen is here!" At this time, the eunuch's report came, and it turned out that the queen came to the Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Yunba frowned. Obviously, he was very unhappy with the arrival of the queen at this time, but since the people have come, it is naturally difficult to drive them away. After all, the queen is also the lord of the harem, and even the emperor has to take into account the prestige of the queen.

"The noise!"

Not long after, four maids of honor have come in around a palace beauty. Compared with the old man of Shangguan Yunba, the queen is much younger in appearance, looking only 25 or 26 years old, with a serious face.

The queen is covered with a phoenix crown, embroidered with colorful phoenixes, and her head is full of golden headdresses, but it does not give people the feeling of upstarts. Instead, each kind of jewelry is just right, which reflects the gorgeousness of the queen.

The queen herself is also very beautiful, even more than Nangong Miyin. It's just that the cold face on his face, except for bringing a little majesty. On the contrary, it also reduced her beauty by a few points.

"My concubine knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor!" After the queen entered the imperial palace, if no one was there, she didn't even look at Nangong Miyan, and came to Shangguan Yunba and saluted.

"The queen is flat!" When Shangguan Yunba saw the queen, although he was unhappy, he still waved his hand to make the queen flat, and then reluctantly showed a kind smile and asked, "I don't know what's the queen's business here?"

"I just miss the emperor's tightness. I heard that the emperor is eating in the imperial palace today, so I came to see your majesty!" The queen said in a soft voice that did not match her serious expression.

"I miss the queen. I've been busy with state affairs recently, and I really neglected the queen!" Shangguan Yunba said apologetically. But obviously there is no sincerity.

"That concubine won't bother your majesty!" The queen was not annoyed. She saluted and turned around as if she was about to leave.

However, when he came to Nangong Miyin, he sneered and said, "I don't know which noble girl is? Don't you salute when you see me? I really don't understand the rules!"

"Queen! Your Excellency the Goddess is my guest, not my concubine. Please take care of yourself!" Before Nangong Miyin fought back, Shangguan Yunba had already shouted angrily and scolded.

When the queen heard the words, she showed a suddenly enlightened expression and said excitedly, "It turned out to be the goddess. No wonder she was so different and fascinated by your majesty. However, I seem to have heard that the goddess is the goddess from heaven. The peerless beauty, now it seems that it is nothing more than this!"

"Queen!" The jealousy in the queen's tone is so obvious that anyone can naturally hear it. Shangguan Yunba couldn't help saying angrily when he saw that the queen said such sarcastic words in front of Nangong Miin. He didn't care about any manners and manners.

Of course, this is actually no wonder that the queen has been observing Nangong Miyin since she entered the Imperial Palace. Nangong Miyin is really excellent, even if her appearance is not distinguishable.

But my temperament is not as good as that of this Nangong goddess. The queen's family knows her own affairs. Don't look young, but in fact, she is over 30 years old. At this age, women's attractiveness to men will plummet. Although the appearance can be barely maintained, it is indeed not as good as before in other aspects.

And she subconsciously developed a majestic momentum because she led the harem, but no man would like this momentum, especially her man was still the emperor of a country. Because this is much more indifferent to her.

Now Nangong Miyin is like the shadow of her past, young and beautiful, full of extraordinary attraction to men. Thinking that my future position as the head of the harem will be replaced by this woman, and I can only spend the rest of my life in the cold palace. Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel cold all over. That's why he remains so hostile to Nangong Miin.

As a woman, although Nangong Miin has never experienced this kind of harem struggle. However, Nangong Miyin instantly felt that she fully understood the queen's feelings, so she swallowed back the counterattack words that had come to her mouth.

He said softly, "The queen is right. The people's daughter is not actually a goddess of the heavenly palace. She is just an ordinary woman. Compared with the queen's country, she is naturally inferior!"

"As long as you know!" The queen said proudly.

However, her grateful eyes also made Nangong Miin look straight. I thought that the queen was really arrogant. Although she understood her kindness in her heart, she did not show weakness at all.

"Queen, why don't you retreat!" Nangong Miyin saw the queen's grateful eyes. Shangguan Yunba didn't see it and shouted back the queen angrily.

Nangong Miyin suddenly moved when she saw this. Through today's contact with Guan Yunba, Nangong Miyin has become famous. Shangguan Yunba should have had some interest in her Nangong Miyin. His naked eyes are full of possessiveness. Nangong Miyin is not a fool. How can he not see it?

At this time, the queen happened to help him solve the problem. So he stopped him and said, "Since it's rare for Your Majesty, why don't we eat together?"

"This!" Shangguan Yunba hesitated for a while and kept cursing the queen for coming at the wrong time, but Nangong Miyan opened his mouth, and he couldn't find any reason to refuse.

I can only promise: "In that case, the queen will stay and eat together!" After saying that, there was no need for Shangguan Yunba to order. Someone had already prepared bowls and chopsticks for the queen.

Nangong Miyin noticed a detail. In fact, someone had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks when the queen came in, and it was only then that she put them up.

It's not Nangong Miyin's gossip. In fact, it's just because of her extremely high strength, so she has a very strong control over the surrounding environment. This detail is just the subconscious attention of Nangong Miyin. This detail made Nangong Miin even more disgusted with the royal luxury rules.

Nangong Miyin is not the kind of person who opposes luxury. In fact, she doesn't mind that someone is dressed in her own diet and living when conditions permit. However, Nangong Miyin feels that this kind of thing should be moderate. After all, we are all human beings, and no one is really more noble than anyone else.

Just like when Nangong Miyin and Xiao Cui lived in the Sihai Inn, they never asked Xiao Cui to get up in the middle of the night to serve her. Therefore, Nangong Miyin became disgusted with this tedious and almost harsh rule from the bottom of her heart.

Maybe today is destined to be an unpeaceful day. Nangong Miyin just had a conflict with Liu Wantang in the morning. After returning home, she was summoned to the palace by Shangguan Yunbaxuan. You have to face so many broken rules for dinner. Now the queen suddenly breaks in, and this kind of trouble is far from over.
