Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Chapter 192 A rather novel banquet

The Queen Mother's attack was expected by Lin Qingran, and she was not surprised at all that the Queen Mother would say this.

I just didn't expect that Emperor Kang Yuan would defend her like this. After all, he didn't know anything yet, unlike Xiao Heng and Queen Qi who knew her plans in private.

Lin Qingran told Empress Qi and Xiao Heng what she was thinking earlier. Both mother and son found it very novel and had never thought of such a banquet method, but they were eager to try it and agreed to Lin Qingran's idea without telling anyone else. people.

Therefore, Emperor Kang Yuan didn't know, and neither Lin Qingran nor Xiao Heng nor Queen Qi told him about it.

Now seeing Emperor Kang Yuan's protection, Lin Qingran felt warm in her heart.

At this time, Lin Qingran stood up with a smile, smiled slightly, and looked at everyone.

"To make you laugh, I also saw that the banquets in the past were all the same, so I thought of a novel way for everyone to participate in this birthday banquet. As we all know, everyone has different tastes, and the meals prepared every time in the past It’s almost the same. Many people don’t eat the food on the table, maybe they just don’t like to eat those things. Therefore, I have prepared a hundred meals for everyone to eat.”

Many people whispered, and these sounds were heard by the people around them.

"Oh my god, the Crown Princess is so extravagant and wasteful, preparing hundreds of dishes. Won't she be scolded by the Queen for doing this?"

"Probably not. After all, the Queen is very satisfied with the Crown Princess and will definitely condone her."

"That's really helpless. With such a princess here, the national treasury may not be sufficient in the future. Such wasteful behavior is really outrageous."

Hearing this, the queen mother's lips curled up into a sneer, and she looked at Lin Qingran with even more displeasure.

"Princess, the Ai family didn't ask you to prepare so many meals. You are so wasteful." The Queen Mother gloated with a serious look.

Naturally, Princess Jin'an would not miss this good opportunity, "What the Queen Mother said is true. It is such a waste and it will not be finished. In the future, the Crown Princess will have to control the entire harem, and I am afraid that the national treasury will not be sufficient."

Emperor Kang Yuan also looked at Lin Qingran with some confusion, as if he did not expect that she could cook a hundred dishes. In the past, there were only ten dishes on the table for each person at the banquet, and a hundred dishes was really unbelievable.

However, seeing that both Xiao Heng and Queen Qi looked calm, Emperor Kang Yuan was in no hurry to speak for Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran smiled and said, "No, both the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Aunt misunderstood. These one hundred dishes are actually the sum of all the dishes. Think about it carefully. In the past, if there were ten dishes for each person, the banquet hall would finally be able to The remaining half of the dishes were not used up, and the eunuchs and maids could not eat so much, and in the end they were all wasted. However, the hundred dishes prepared by me, with many flavors and styles, were actually not half as good as before. This greatly reduces costs and eliminates the possibility of extravagance and waste.”

"Now everyone can take a look. There are long tables around us. The food has begun to be served. Everyone can eat what they want. There is a shelf on each plate, specially used for holding vegetables. It is very It’s clean and hygienic, and you can put it on a plate and return it to your place. There are also rice and fried rice, which can be served in a small bowl. There are also plenty of fruits. Those who are not able to move around can also ask the palace maid to do it for them.”

"On weekdays, everyone can't open up to eat because of their status. Today, we can let go and eat together without putting on airs. I gave such a banquet a name. It's called: Buffet, which is taken from myself. Let’s have enough food and clothing. In this way, everyone can eat well, eat well, and eat happily, and there will be no dishes that they don’t like on the table. I wonder what you think of this approach?”

Lin Qingran's voice was very soft, but everyone was happy to hear it. They had never tried it before, and everyone found it very novel. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess had such a bad reputation before, and everyone thought she was just a fool who only followed the Crown Prince around all day long, but now I found that she seemed to have some brains.

"The idea of ​​the Crown Princess is very novel, and I also want to try it." Yin Qiang, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the first to speak.

Prime Minister Qin also smiled and nodded, "I have never seen anything like this in all my years of life. Now I am somewhat interested. I wonder when I can start?"

After the two courtiers started talking, others also agreed. Everyone was very interested, and the Queen Mother's face became not very good.

Seeing the expression on the Queen Mother's face, Concubine Yan Shu certainly wanted to step forward, "Princess, I'm afraid it's not good with so many people walking back and forth. Isn't it too noisy with the chaos and people coming and going?"

Lin Qingran looked at Concubine Yan Shu with a puzzled expression, "Concubine Shu's words are somewhat surprising. After all, isn't the purpose of the banquet to make people noisy? If it was Xi Jing, then why did he come to the banquet? In the past, The banquet here was all done with airs, which actually made people feel uncomfortable. The emperor and the queen even left early, just to make everyone feel at ease, isn't it? "

"Well said! I just feel that every banquet cannot be fully enjoyable. The courtesy of monarchs and ministers is too intrusive, and it doesn't feel like a banquet at all. Now that I heard what the Crown Princess said, I was shocked to realize that this is really the case. Crown Princess This move is for my consideration, and I also want to have a better relationship with the ministers." Emperor Kang Yuan looked at Xiao Heng with a smile, "Prince, take the lead, try it, and let the ministers see it using the method the princess said. Look, let’s set an example for everyone.”

"Yes, I obey your order." Xiao Heng stood up and walked aside.

The Queen Mother's face was horribly gloomy, the smile on her face could not be maintained at all, and she was obviously very angry at this moment.

No wonder I couldn't find out how Lin Qingran arranged the banquet before, and I couldn't make trouble for her. It turned out that no one knew about this move while waiting here.

Xiao Heng didn't care about the people around him, he took a plate from under the long table, then picked four or five kinds of his favorite dishes, and then walked back slowly.

After walking back, he did not sit down, but placed the plate in front of Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran was slightly startled, and then she realized that Xiao Heng's food were all Lin Qingran's favorite dishes, and she smiled.

Xiao Heng didn't speak. The two of them had a perfect tacit understanding and could understand each other's thoughts without speaking. Then he turned around and picked up some of his favorite dishes for himself.

Looking at this scene, many people looked at Lin Qingran with envy. After all, Xiao Heng's actions were so heart-warming, and many people felt this way.

It is said that the royal family has always been ruthless and there is no sincerity in the palace, but neither Xiao Heng nor Emperor Kang Yuan seem to be like this.

Emperor Kang Yuan smiled and touched his beard, feeling very satisfied and not angry at all because Xiao Heng took care of Lin Qingran first.

"Now that the prince will show you how to do it, I believe everyone knows how to do it, so let's get started!"
