In the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Princess Zhang shi was busy making arrangements.
Her two sons going to the northern border to fight had always made Zhang shi's heart ache.
Now that her two sons were finally coming back, Zhang shi was naturally incomparably excited.
At this moment, Zhang shi was carrying the curly-haired dog that Zhu Gaochi had named the Grand Secretary of the White Hair Pavilion, and she was constantly giving orders to the servants in the Crown Prince's residence.
He was preparing to welcome his two sons tonight.
At this time, two beautiful women in palace clothes came to Zhang shi and bowed,
"Mother."
"Daughter-in-law greets mother."
Zhang shi looked at the two girls and said with a smile,
"You came at the right time. Hurry up and help. Your man is back today. Shanxiang, what do you think we should prepare for their welcome?”
These two women were Zhu Zhanji's Grand Sun Consort Hu Shanxiang and Zhu Zhanyong's Princess Consort Sun Ruowei.
In comparison, both of them were rare beauties, but their personalities were poles apart.
Hu Shan Xiang was the kind of person who did everything in an orderly manner, even walking and eating according to the royal rules.
However, Hu Shanxiang was also a woman who was good at monopolizing.
Growing up in the palace, he had seen the scheming in the palace, so he had shrewdness and means to do things. He was also very tactful in his conduct, which was deeply liked by Zhang shi.
Relatively speaking, ever since Sun Ruowei became Zhu Zhanyong's princess consort, she had been living with Zhu Zhanyong in the Yue Prince's residence.
Although he was very smart and capable, he did not spend much time with Zhang shi.
Therefore, he had always been polite to Zhang shi and did not dare to overstep his boundaries.
For these two daughters-in-law, Zhang shi naturally liked Hu Shan Xiang more.
After all, they lived under the same roof. Hu Shan Xiang helped her manage the internal affairs of the palace. He did his job properly and was well-behaved. It was quite easy for him.
As for Sun Ruowei, Zhang shi always had a knot in her heart for this second daughter-in-law.
After all, it was because of her that Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong, these two brothers, started to not get along.
However, since she had already become a member of the Zhu family, Zhang shi would not give Sun Ruowei a hard time.
At this moment, Zhang shi's heart was filled with joy, and the grudge in her heart was much smaller.
Hu Shan Xiang smiled and said,
"My husband and His Highness the King of Yue have returned safely, and they have even made such meritorious deeds. My husband likes to eat river carp. I have already asked the imperial kitchen to arrange for the best Yellow River carp to be sent over.”
"I have also asked the servants to prepare the dishes that my husband likes. Also, my husband likes to listen to opera, so I have also asked people to invite the best opera troupe in the capital.”
After Hu Shanxiang finished speaking, he looked at Sun Ruowei with a smile and said softly,
"Younger sister, what does His Highness Yue Wang like? Tell me so that I can prepare.”
Sun Ruowei smiled gently and looked at Hu Shan Xiang and Zhang shi,
"Elder sister, mother, actually you don't have to worry so much. When I came to the capital, I already brought the best chefs from the Yue Prince's mansion. Their culinary skills were superb. When His Highness was around, he had praised them many times.”
"Moreover, I've already asked someone to get the ingredients. They're all rare ingredients. His Highness's favorite is actually the 108 dishes of the Great Ming Imperial Feast. Today, I asked them to make this Great Ming Imperial Feast.”
"Big Ming Imperial Feast? 108 dishes?"
Zhang Shi looked at Sun Ruowei in surprise.
Sun Ruowei nodded slightly and said seriously,"
"Yes, this name was given by His Highness. There are a total of 108 dishes, and each dish is different. I've only seen it once!"
Hu Shan Xiang was shocked!
108 dishes?
How big was this?
She had been in the palace for many years and had seen many imperial banquets, but she had never seen one serving 108 dishes at once.
"108 dishes. Can you finish them all? This was a family banquet, not a banquet for guests. There was no need to be so wasteful, right?”
Zhang shi frowned.
Sun Ruo smiled and said,"
"It's okay, if you can't finish it, you can give it to the servants in the fu. It was like this last time, His Highness only ate one bite of each of the 108 dishes, and ChenQie didn't even eat half before she was full.”
"One hundred and eight dishes, and only one bite of each? This child is such a prodigal?"
Zhang shi was dumbfounded.
Hu Shan Xiang listened even more deeply and was secretly speechless.
How rich was this Prince Yue's Estate?
