At this time, Yan Xingxuan, who was casually socializing in the front yard, shuddered violently.
When the entertainment was over, he couldn't help but think: Who was scolding him behind his back?
Don't let him catch you!
If he catches it, let him chase the goose!
Xiao Nianzhi:......
At King Kang's birthday banquet, the first dishes served were naturally big fish and meat.
However, the presentation and so on are relatively more delicate.
The delicious big elbow was cut into medium-thick meat slices and then placed on the plate in layers.
The hot chicken pieces are also arranged in a nice way.
Single items like sea cucumbers are presented in such a way that others cannot afford them.
To put it simply, it may be that the cost of sea cucumber is 50, and after it is put on the plate, it will sell for at least 550.
The various plates are arranged in a fancy way, but they are indeed beautiful and exquisite, and they look very similar to each other.
When eaten, the portion is not particularly large, which makes people feel that with so many dishes, you can’t take more than two bites of each dish.
However, it is not too small, making people feel like they are not full after a banquet.
During the meal, female guests are not allowed to drink alcohol, so they prepare fruit tea.
It might have been just ordinary tea in the past, but now there are so many choices.
Fruit tea, milk tea, and milk tea also have two flavors: sweet and salty.
Of course, in addition to this, we also prepare low-alcohol fruit wine, plum wine, etc.
If some ladies like these, they can also take a few sips.
But no matter how much you drink, the host will at least try to persuade you to avoid drinking too much and causing trouble.
The female guests who came to the banquet did not drink much. Most of them were the wives of military commanders. They took a few sips to taste the taste of the wine.
Xiao Nianzhi is far away from Guo's aunt, so she doesn't know how they drink there.
However, everyone's expression management was excellent, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
Seeing this, Xiao Nianzhi thought to herself that life is a long road and she still has a lot to learn.
After the banquet was over, a troupe came to sing in the afternoon.
There is also a fireworks show to watch at night.
After happily enjoying a day's vacation, and after going to court early in the morning, Xiao Nianzhi was left in the care of His Majesty.
The problem is that today's discussion has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.
She is the only Shanglinyuan official. In addition, there are officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.
Your Majesty, something happened at the official artillery workshop.
But attacks come again, but you still have to rush to make money.
No, it has already been done over there. Your Majesty casually asked about the progress.
The Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Works were left behind, and they mainly asked about the year-end accounts and so on.
Anyway, how you listen and follow Lin Yuan has nothing to do with it.
This made Xiao Nianzhi feel uneasy.
What happened to keep her here?
It is really a test of people's mentality to keep silent about this.
However, she couldn't act particularly nervous.
What if His Majesty feels that she is guilty.
You should know that the old man who was attacked by His Majesty because of the incident at the artillery workshop is said to have been ill with high fever for two days when he returned home that night.
However, he didn't dare to ask for leave, so he honestly came to work despite being sick.
In the end, His Majesty lost his temper and gave him two days' leave to return home to recuperate.
Nowadays, people don’t look very energetic.
So, pretend to be calm, pretend to be calm!
After other matters had been discussed, His Majesty dismissed the two ministers.
Xiao Nianzhi:???
Don't be like this, I'm even more scared!
After the others left, His Majesty drove away the annoying palace people, leaving only Quande behind.
Xiao Nianzhi:......!
The horn of death always feels like it has already sounded.
She has been very honest recently and hasn't done anything wrong?
Even if he fishes and paddles occasionally, he does so while avoiding people.
Has it been discovered?
Isn't that the case?
Just when Xiao Nianzhi was feeling uneasy and pretending to be calm on his face, His Majesty finally said in a hoarse voice: "That pill I mentioned before is really useless, isn't it?"
Xiao Nianzhi:???
No, Your Majesty, if you do this again, I will call the police!
Scared her to death!
I thought I had done something wrong.
It turned out that he was obsessed with elixirs.
In fact, it is understandable.
After all, many of the famous emperors in history lost their minds because of the elixir of immortality.
There are also those who marry the princess to the alchemist.
So, just curious and asking more?
It's normal and understandable.
That's right...
Your Majesty, don’t forget the ancestral teachings!
If you go underground like this, you will easily be beaten by a group of ancestors!
That's right, you can't say this.
Xiao Nianzhi could only speak carefully: "Elixirs are mostly extracted from metal objects, and there are a lot of residues. After various reactions occur, some things may stimulate the body's potential, but human energy is limited.
Yes, you have consumed it at this time, and you may have to make up for it at some point..."
So, after taking the elixir, you feel rejuvenated?
Have you ever thought that you have overspent the rest of your life in advance?
As soon as Xiao Nianzhi opened his mouth, His Majesty closed his eyes in disappointment.
It’s so useless!
Alas, he had been looking forward to it for days in vain.
In order not to look particularly urgent, he even waited for a few days before coming over to ask Xiao Nianzhi.
As a result, the elixir was useless.
Moreover, he understood what Xiao Nianzhi meant.
It’s just because I understand that I feel uncomfortable.
When people get really old, they will be shocked to realize the importance of vitality.
Your Majesty has recently...
I am becoming increasingly powerless.
When he went to the harem recently, he even just slept with his concubine under the quilt and did nothing.
What are you doing?
He was afraid that he would not be able to get up in the morning after finishing the work!
Originally, I had placed my hope in elixirs for immortality and the like.
As a result, I found that it really didn't work.
Moreover, before asking Xiao Nianzhi, His Majesty had already asked someone to look through the history books.
In fact, His Majesty has already seen many tragedies or consequences caused by the elixir.
History books, especially some unofficial histories, write more realistically.
It's the kind of thing where you have to do some mental building up before taking the elixir after reading it.
But, I don’t want to give up after all.
Your Majesty always feels that there are still many things that he has not finished or done well. How can he be willing to be with his body in such decline?
He won’t live to live until a year ago, right?
You can't think like that, it's too scary!
His Majesty refused to think about what he would do if he did not live to be alive.
However, while rejecting it in my heart, I also need to consider my successor.
No matter how reluctant you are, the country is still important.
The power of their old Yan family...
But it cannot be destroyed because of his selfishness.
So, start making arrangements with tears in your eyes.
I hope God will reward him for a few more years for his hard work.
He doesn't ask for much, and it's good to be rare in the past seventy years.
Going further up, that's really a bit of a luxury.
His Majesty said: I am not greedy, really, not at all!
