Chapter 639: What a Grand Ceremony
After the dishes were brought out, Gu Fei took another bottle of Wuliangye, put it in a porcelain bottle, and placed it on the table.
This was the first time that Gu Fei personally cooked for Palace Master Yan.
Palace Master Yan was very considerate to his apprentice, he was full of praise and took another sip of wine, "This wine is good."
While eating, Gu Fei said: "By the way, there are not enough ingredients here, and there is not enough time. When we get to the capital, I will make a Buddha jump over the wall for Master."
She has been in Ping'an City for a year and has never heard of this dish. It must have not been invented yet.
Palace Master Yan raised her eyebrows, "What a strange name. This is the first time I've heard of this dish."
"What's the origin?"
Gu Fei smiled and said: "It is said that there was a senior monk who was staying in the inn on the way. There was a family cooking food next door, and the scent floated into the inn. The senior monk couldn't help drooling when he smelled it, and jumped over the wall. Ask people for this food.”
"When the man saw that he was a monk, he said, my food is meat. You are a monk, how can you eat it?"
"The eminent monk drooled and said, it's so fragrant. As long as you can eat this dish, it doesn't matter if the monk doesn't cook it."
Palace Master Yan laughed when she heard this, "Now that I say that, I really want to give it a try."
After dinner, they stayed at the inn for one night and got up early to continue their journey to the capital.
Along the way, Palace Master Yan sometimes listened to Gu Fei's lectures, sometimes gave her instructions on her kung fu, and when she was free, she also gave Xiao Yu some tips. Xiao Yu felt that he had benefited a lot.
After walking for another seven or eight days, we saw the city wall of the capital from a distance.
The capital is worthy of being a capital. The city walls are higher than any city wall Gu Fei has ever seen before. Looking up, it gives people a very heavy feeling of oppression.
After entering the city gate, these one hundred personal guards in black and one hundred maids in blue immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
One hundred maids are the little girls with good looks and good qualifications selected by the Seven Kills Palace. They have been trained since childhood and have been practicing martial arts for many years. They are all slender. At this time, they are wearing the same aqua blue skirt. on them.
The one hundred personal guards were originally selected from the Black Armor Army. They were all tall and upright. They sat on horses and attracted the attention of girls and wives.
Especially Xiao Yu, who was walking next to Gu Fei's carriage, was dressed in black robes and extremely handsome. Girls from the North were always bold, and their handkerchiefs and sachets flew towards him along the way.
Gu Fei opened a corner of the curtain and looked at Xiao Yu giggling.
Xiao Yu gave her a helpless smile.
In this way, we arrived at the mansion all the way.
The old King of Qi once had a palace in the capital, but it was taken back after he became a vassal.
The King of Qi built a large house in the capital a few years ago.
There is a housekeeper left in the house and several servants, who are dedicated to cleaning and looking after the house.
The servants in the mansion have long received the news that the Crown Prince is going to Beijing, and everything in the house has been properly decorated.
Gu Fei asked Palace Master Yan to live in the main courtyard, while she and Xiao Yu lived in the east courtyard.
While the servants at home were still putting things away, the emperor in the palace knew that Xiao Yu had arrived in the capital.
He is not going to court today. The emperor is in the palace of the Queen Mother, playing chess with the Queen Mother. The Queen is also accompanying him.
When he heard the eunuch coming to report the grand occasion of Prince Qi's arrival in the capital, the emperor snorted coldly, "This Prince Qi and his wife are in such a grand ceremony!"
This is really too trivial. Xiao Yu is not the first prince to enter the capital.
The prince of Jin in front also brought a hundred personal guards, a total of one to two hundred wives, concubines, and maids, and more than twenty carriages.
One hundred personal guards are the standard equipment for the prince and prince.
In comparison, the number of people Xiao Yu brought to Beijing was not that many.
