Eating big melon is so refreshing

Royal palace, royal garden.

The first thing that caught my eye was the scene of flowers in profusion. The colorful flowers competed with each other in splendor, exuding charming fragrance, as if adding a touch of gorgeous color to this feast. When the breeze blew, the petals fell one after another, like a dreamy flower rain, bringing blessings.

"Very beautiful." Xiao Chunya praised. In her previous life, she went to Japan specifically for a rain of flowers, but the cherry blossoms were too monotonous and not as pleasing to the eye as here.

The Qionglin Banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. At this moment, many new scholars had arrived and were gathering in groups of three or four, talking quietly.

Huh? Why did a fat girl suddenly appear?

The palace has a strict hierarchy. Eunuchs, palace maids, princes, and princesses all have to wear corresponding attire. Not everyone can attend the banquet in the imperial garden today.

"She is Zhao Chunya, the Lady of Guangning." Someone recognized the little fat girl's identity. It was actually easy to guess. Who else could play with someone of the same age and so fat?

The name is so famous that it is well-known. All the newly-appointed scholars have heard of it. It was this person who caused the former Minister of Rites Cui to be struck by lightning. The little fat girl can curse and attract lightning. Are you afraid?

The six ministers of various ministries and the chief examiner and accompanying examiners of the imperial examination attended today's banquet together. The previous one was struck to death by lightning, and in less than two days, the new Minister of Rites took over his position. I don't know whether to say it was fast or that he had been prepared for a long time?

In previous Qionglin Banquets, princesses and princes of appropriate age would usually attend, and it was normal to choose a consort at the banquet. However, now the older princes and princesses are all disliked by the emperor, and have all been demoted to commoners and imprisoned in the clan house. One of them even attempted suicide a few days ago.

Emperor Longqing was promoted to the Huajin stage last night, and his life span was extended to 200 years. The concubines, princes and princesses who wanted to make trouble all became quiet, and the civil and military officials who had ulterior motives also became quiet. Everyone knew that the emperor was suspicious, and that gave him such a long life, so he had plenty of time to deal with people he didn't like.

I don't know who leaked the news, but this year's new Jinshi, including the top three in the first class, were all demoted to serve as officials in the counties, and some people from the Hanlin Academy were also cleared out to serve as officials in various local areas.

Plants mutated and attacked humans, wild animals in the mountains mutated and the strong preyed on the weak, fish and shrimp in the rivers mutated, everything was proving one thing, the millennium catastrophe was about to come. The army began to withdraw its defenses and merge with the local people to prepare for the millennium catastrophe.

Xiao Chunya's eyes were on the banquet filled with delicacies. The exquisite porcelain dishes were filled with various delicacies, which were delicious in color, aroma and taste. The roast duck was roasted to a golden and crispy texture, with crispy skin, tender meat and shiny oil. The chef skillfully separated the duck skin from the duck meat, sliced ​​it into thin and even slices, and placed it on the plate like a blooming flower. On the side were chopped green onions, cucumber strips and sweet noodle sauce, rolled in a pancake. Imagine how it tasted when you put it in your mouth.

The steamed fish is a must. Fresh sea bass is carefully processed, cut several times on the fish, sprinkled with shredded green onion and ginger, drizzled with steamed fish soy sauce, and steamed in a steamer. When it comes out of the pot, the fish's eyes are still bright, the fish meat is tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth. Pick up a piece of fish meat and take a sip, the delicious taste will make you intoxicated.

There is also the Eight Treasures Gourd Duck. After the whole duck is deboned, eight kinds of ingredients such as glutinous rice, ham, mushrooms, and shrimp are stuffed into its belly. After careful cooking, the duck is plump in appearance and bright red in color. When cut open, the aroma is fragrant, and the aroma of various ingredients blends together, making you salivate.

In addition, there are exquisitely shaped snacks, such as the petite lotus pastry. The layers of pastry are like lotus petals, wrapped with sweet fillings. When you take a bite, the crispness and sweetness are intertwined in your mouth.

Slurp, Xiao Chunya's saliva is about to flow down. Even if Ruizi is an adult soul, unfortunately her body is just that of a child under ten years old. It is not shameful to be unable to control her appetite.

"Huh? Fatty!" When Xiao Chunya saw the fat man hiding behind the tree, she ran over and smelled the fragrance of the hand-pulled pancake.

"Fat sister eats alone." Xiao Qiulin said in a resentful tone, "You are not a good fat person."

"I'll give you half." Xiao Chunya divided a palm-sized pancake into two halves, stuffed the larger half into her own mouth, and gave the smaller half to her younger brother.

"Is it delicious?"

Another voice came out, and the brother and sister turned around and saw that it was Master Wuxiang. Their reaction was to stuff the pancake into their mouths as hard as they could, even licking up every sesame seed that was on their fingers.

Master Wuxiang was speechless. Why did he feel like he was here to rob?

Emperor Longqing arrived, and all the officials and newly-appointed scholars took their seats. Xiao Chunya's seat was unexpectedly next to Wuxiang Guoshi, which was very eye-catching. This seemingly abrupt combination seemed to hide some deep meaning.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Big fat guy."

"You've only been here for a few days, and you've become so familiar with the fat guy?" Wuxiang Guoshi's voice was slightly jealous. "Is it because the hand-pulled pancakes he makes are delicious?"

"His eyes are clear, his smile is kind, and his words are down-to-earth." Xiao Chunya said to the person next to him rudely, "He is not like you who has 800 tricks and can make people angry to death without any compensation."

Wu Xiang Guo Shi put his hand on his forehead, looking hurt. "Little Fatty, is my image so bad in your eyes?"

"Do you think you are a good person?" Do you need her to give you a good guy card?

Emperor Longqing, who was sitting in the first seat, curled his lips slightly. Seeing the Imperial Master being scolded by the little fat girl, he felt inexplicably happy.

The sound of stringed instruments rose slowly, and the musicians were dressed in gorgeous costumes, with focused and devoted expressions. The instruments in their hands seemed to have life, with strings trembling, wind instruments melodious, and drum beats passionate, interweaving into a dreamlike movement.

The dancers are like fairies descended to the mortal world, with fluttering clothes and graceful postures. They spin and jump lightly, with their dance steps arranged in a staggered manner, and each movement fits perfectly with the rhythm of the music.

Their graceful dancing postures are like the spring breeze blowing on the willows or the fluttering of colorful butterflies. Their eyes are lively and their smiles are charming, as if they are telling everyone touching stories.

When the music is exciting, the dancers' movements become more powerful and passionate; when the music is slow, they are like lotus flowers in the water, light and gentle. The whole scene is like a colorful painting, intoxicating and hard to extricate oneself.

"Pa pa pa," Xiao Chunya clapped her hands while speaking to Master Mingyue at another table nearby, "The young lady in the yellow skirt just now glanced over here. From the angle I saw, it seemed to be Brother Lu's direction. Are you jealous?"

Master Mingyue had a bright smile on his face. He said directly to Lu Fenghua, "Brother Lu is a handsome young man. I am ashamed of myself."
