Chapter 1403 Plum Appreciation Banquet (6)

It was already noon, and the plum blossom appreciation banquet in the palace was about to begin. The banquet was held in the pavilion outside. The ladies were in the Caiyue Pavilion, and the gentlemen were in the Linshui Pavilion. Men and women were separated, each occupying a pavilion. It can be seen and separated by Donghu Lake, so it is not too rude, it can be said that we have taken great pains.

The wind was strong on the lake, and the ladies' pavilion was separated by screens on both sides. There were eight ladies sitting on the table in the middle, but no one was in the mood to eat the hot hot pot in front of them, and they were all looking at the pavilion opposite.

Princess Chao Gei, who is sitting on the throne, is dressed very gorgeously today. She is wearing a three-chamber leader autumn fragrance color plate gold five-color embroidered dragon narrow jacket with small sleeves covering the silver mouse short jacket. Below is a water red satin fox skirt. Her slender waist was tied with a bow-knotted long-tasseled five-color palace ribbon, and she wore deerskin boots on her feet. She had emerald hair on her temples and a beaded jade ring. Her aristocratic dress immediately added to her beauty.

Chao Gei sat in the middle, and beside him sat several princesses, county lords and princesses, all of whom were daughters of the royal family and outstanding ladies.

One of them, a noble girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with a round face, looked at the pavilion opposite for a while like everyone else, and whispered: "Huh? Why don't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qingluo Kingdom?"

A slightly younger noble girl smiled and said, "Sister, I should ask Princess Gui about this, why are you joining in the fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other girls at the table all laughed in amusement, but most of them seemed to have smiles etched on their faces. Everyone knows that Princess Chao Gei is deeply loved by the Empress. A few days ago, she took Princess Chao Gei to meet the Prince of Qingluo Kingdom alone. She has long been the Empress’s default candidate to marry the Prince of Qingluo State. Today’s Plum Appreciation Banquet , they are just accompanying guests.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the round-faced noble girl flushed with embarrassment and hurriedly explained to Chaogui: "Princess Chaogui, I have no other intention. I am just curious about what kind of person the Crown Prince of Qingluo is." ?"

Chao Gui turned his head, smiled gently, and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? It's not just you, everyone here is curious!"

Seeing that Chao Gui didn't blame her, the round-faced noble girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Princess Chao Gui, why don't you eat? I heard that you are responsible for this plum blossom appreciation feast." You've been busy all morning, are you tired? Let's have some hot pot to catch up!"

Chao Gui said softly: "Okay, everyone, don't just sit there, use chopsticks!" After saying that, he picked up a few pieces of mutton and started boiling them.

Without the crown prince of Qingluo Kingdom, everyone's attention naturally turned to the hot pot.

Needless to say, in this cold weather, eating hot hot pot while looking at the plum blossoms is really a wonderful enjoyment!

It was the first time for most of the ladies to eat hot pot. Because they were the daughters of a boudoir, and they were all born in the Duke Hou Men's mansion, their families naturally would not allow them to eat and drink in restaurants outside. Therefore, when they first tasted this delicious hot pot, they were in awe. Everyone was amazed!

"Well, it's so delicious. Is the hotpot in the Blessed Hotpot City outside so delicious?"

"That's natural!"

When Chao Gei was planning the banquet, she thought of advertising the Queen's Hot Pot City. Each of these noble daughters was the apple of the family's eye. If they ate well, they would have to eat at the Blessed Hot Pot City in the future, and they all She is an aristocratic woman, and she often entertains a dozen or dozens of people when she goes out. So many ladies have tasted the delicious hot pot, which will definitely bring a lot of business to the Queen!

The Linshui Pavilion over there is equally lively. Everyone is chatting comfortably while eating hot and fragrant hot pot. The atmosphere is very good!
