Chapter 283 Another reward
“This is a cauldron?” King Xiaoyao looked at this giant thing in wonder, with clear ignorance and stupidity in his eyes.
Xiao Chongyun coughed twice to signal his father not to be embarrassed.
King Xiaoyao muttered something dissatisfied, and then he shut up obediently.
The emperor stared at the tripod without blinking, and stepped down from the dragon chair, "Chongding, this thing is"
The emperor was very excited, but he did not dare to guess that.
Xiao Chongding stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Father! This is the Qinglong Ding that has been lost for a long time in Qi State!"
“Hiss!” Everyone gasped in shock, “Oh my god! Is this the Qinglong Cauldron? I couldn’t be dreaming!”
“How can you tell it’s from the Qinglong Cauldron?”
“You are stupid! Didn’t you see the characters engraved on the tripod and the green dragon carved on it?” A minister was so excited that he complained loudly, and the entire Chengqing Palace was boiling.
The emperor walked around the Qinglong Cauldron, stretched out his hand to touch the cauldron with trembling hands, and asked with tears in his eyes, "How did you find this thing?"
Xiao Chongding replied loudly: "My son led his troops to a hundred miles outside the pass and carried the foreign invaders to several hills. This tripod was found on a hilltop. They used it for sacrifice. Fortunately, the tripod was not seriously damaged. I know that this matter is very important, and since the northwest and the capital are thousands of miles away, there is a high possibility of accidents on the way, so I personally escorted the Qinglong Cauldron back."
"Okay! Okay! According to my decree, the eldest prince Xiao Chongding attacked the foreign invaders and found the Qinglong Cauldron. He was granted the title of Prince Ding and was granted the title of Prince Ding's palace."
The emperor's imperial edict was spoken very smoothly, which shows that he had already thought about it but had not yet announced it to his mouth.
The queen immediately stood up and, as the mother of a country, set an example and said many words of congratulations.
The appearance of the Qinglong Cauldron pushed the palace banquet to its climax. The emperor and empress were happy, and the courtiers were naturally happy.
Soon, the dishes were served in the imperial kitchen.
In addition to the dishes that the ministers often eat in previous years, there are also a few spicy dishes that have never been seen before and some desserts, including Ruyi cake made with white sweet potato.
King Ding has been in the northwest for many years and has long been indifferent to appetite. However, he couldn't help but be greedy after eating these fresh dishes.
The emperor had been paying attention to him and saw that he liked spicy dishes and fried pork floss buns, so he immediately proposed Baiwei Lou.
When King Ding learned that Baiwei Tower was opened by Guang Enbo, he immediately expressed that he would definitely visit it.
Jiang Ning received another wave of envious and jealous looks.
She has become numb.
When the dancer started dancing, everyone's attention was diverted, and Jiang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao on the side noticed her change, leaned over and laughed softly: "You are in the limelight today. Without the sweet taro and white taro you discovered, King Ding would not have the confidence to lead an attack, let alone find them. Qinglong Cauldron, the Qinglong Cauldron thing seems to have nothing to do with you, but you are the source. The emperor is clear in his heart, just go back and wait for promotion!"
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded, "The emperor has already named me Uncle Guang En, can you give me another title?"
“That’s not certain!” Mrs. Zhao looked happy and looked at Jiang Ning as if she were looking at a big treasure.
Jiang Ning was a little panicked, "Well, I still don't know what the Qinglong Cauldron is used for. Why is the emperor so excited?"
"You don't know?" Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then whispered in Jiang Ning's ear: "The Qinglong Cauldron is one of the four great divine cauldrons, along with the Suzaku Xuanwu White Tiger. It is said that the four great divine cauldrons work together to connect the heaven and the earth. They have been the imperial power in all dynasties. symbol of.
The emperor's sacrifices and blessings rarely required the use of the four divine cauldrons, and there were also some major sacrificial activities that required them. When the late emperor was in power, he believed the slanderous words of his ministers and transported the four great divine cauldrons out of the capital. However, there was an accident on the way and the four great divine cauldrons were lost. .
After the death of the late emperor, there was a short period of turmoil. The emperor successively searched for the Vermilion Bird Cauldron and the White Tiger Cauldron, but could not find the Qinglong Cauldron and the Xuanwu Cauldron. As you can tell from the name of King Ding, the four great divine cauldrons are about to be completed. The emperor was heartbroken. Do you think the Emperor will be unhappy when King Ding brings back the Qinglong Cauldron today? Even if you are dreaming, you can wake up laughing! "
"That's true!" Jiang Ning finally understood why the emperor didn't make him king after King Ding won the battle. After finding a tripod, he was granted the title immediately.
This time at the palace banquet, because the emperor was in a good mood, all the cooks who cooked the dishes were rewarded.
Yang Datou was not an imperial chef, but his dishes were highly praised by the emperor and ministers, so he naturally gained a lot.
The whole family stayed in the palace until the child was born, and then went back.
Little Yang Lexu has already had a long sleep.
Jiang Ning took the child from Liu Ye's arms and said, "You two should go back quickly to wash up and rest. We'll talk about anything you have to say tomorrow."
After explaining to the couple, Jiang Ning looked at the carriage coming from behind.
The carriage stopped in front of her, and a familiar face got out.
Ah Yi smiled at her honestly at first, then locked his eyes on Yang Lexu in her arms, "I fell asleep, I slept so soundly!"
Jiang Ning saw his eyes full of joy and love, and smiled, "Go in! Didn't Mr. Rui come back with you?"
Ayi shook her head, "My godfather said he still had something to discuss with the emperor, so he asked me to come back first."
Jiang Ning saw how smoothly he called his godfather, so he pursed his lips and asked, "You still haven't remembered anything related to the past?"
Ah Yi shook his head hesitantly, "Not really. I've had occasional headaches in the past two days. When I see some scenes, I always feel that they are familiar but also strange. The doctor said this is a normal phenomenon, so I didn't tell anyone about it."
Jiang Ning was overjoyed, "This is a good thing!"
Today seemed to be a really good day. She was so happy that she asked the concierge to close the door and called the housekeeper Song Fu, "It's Chinese New Year. Everyone is tired today. The Baiwei Building will not be open tomorrow. Let everyone take a rest. Come and serve again soon.
Also, there are not many servants in our family, but they are all hard-working and down-to-earth. I will take some money from the account and give each person 800 yuan, which will be regarded as the new year's money given to them by my wife. "
"Thank you, madam, for everyone." Song Fu stepped back with a happy face.
Jiang Ning arranged everything before going to sleep.
I thought she could be lazy tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but before the hour came, the imperial edict from the palace came.
The entire Guang Enbo Mansion was caught off guard, even if the master didn't get up, the maids, women, and guards all slept like pigs, and the concierge woke everyone up one by one.
Dekang shook his head when he saw this scene. The rules of Guang En's Mansion were indeed not very good, and he needed to raise some points.
He had to drink three glasses of tea before they all arrived.
Jiang Ning panted as she entered the hall. She took just two steps when a hairpin on her head fell off. Dekang met her eyes. Jiang Ning blinked innocently, awkwardly and naturally picked up the hairpin and inserted it randomly.
Dekang: “.”
Yang Datou laughed awkwardly and said respectfully: "Father, we are all here, you can announce the decree."
Jiang Ning immediately knelt down in front of the incense table.
Dekang cleared his throat, opened the imperial edict whose content he didn't even know, and read it randomly, which almost made his eyes pop out of his eyes.
