Chapter 927 (1/2)

The 15th Lantern Festival was very lively in the imperial palace. In the first year, because the Treasury was empty, Fang Wenhao didn't dare to be too extravagant.

Now it's different. Since the establishment of fish ponds and business with the Hu people, the Treasury has been filled with a lot at once. Fang Wenhao also privately joined the semicolon of the founding silver house in various cities, and a lot of money goes into his private coffers every month.

Wealth is bound to be rude. Now the bandits dare not be rampant, and the people have been exempted from a lot of taxes. It can be said that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere.

Zhao and his wife had a rest and slept in the Longevity Palace for a while. Duke Xu came to invite everyone to the banquet in person.

This time, the banquet was located near the imperial garden, with many small sheds and a stage in the middle.

Today, Tian Yuqiao arranged the play ”Nezha making trouble in the sea”. Originally, she planned to have people sing ”making trouble in the heavenly palace”, but when she thought that making trouble in the heavenly palace meant rebellion, Tian Yuqiao changed the play temporarily.

Two rows of felt sheds were set up, and red lanterns were hung around. Although it was dark now, the lights in the whole palace were bright, shining everywhere as bright as day.

The emperor and Tian Yuqiao's family sat directly opposite the stage. In the sheds on the East and west sides, there were all civil and military officials in the East, and Mrs. Gao Ming and those official ladies in the West.

After a salute, Zhao's heart was put into his stomach. Sitting on the upper seat, even the emperor could only sit under her and hang his hands.

Tian Dahe and Wang accompany Zhao around. Next to Tian Dahe are Wang Decheng and Wang Dehai. Fang Wenhao is next to Wang, Tian Yuqiao is next to Fang Wenhao, and then Wulang and Lan'er.

But Lan'er was followed by a nanny who had served the prince and princess, so she was very calm to attend such an occasion.

The menu of this banquet was formulated by Fang Wenhao, and the first one was colorful small tangyuan. The skin of Tangyuan is dyed with all kinds of vegetable juice. The green one is spinach juice and the red one is tomato juice~

There are many kinds of fillings, all from Tianji fresh fruit shop. There are pineapple stuffing, kiwi stuffing, orange stuffing

”You Aiqing, first try the colorful dumplings to see if they are to your taste. I specially prepared them for the old lady from the mountain village. You've touched it.” Fang Wenhao said with a smile.

”Oh, it's really colorful. The purple one looks delicious. I'll try it first.”

”Your majesty and princess don't have to say anything about food. Today we all have a blessing in the mouth.”

The people at the bottom didn't know whether it was to cater to Fang Wenhao or they were really hungry. Unexpectedly, everyone ate two bowls of dumplings.

By the time the main course was served, the gongs and drums had sounded on the stage.

The boy dressed as Nezha was painted as red as white in cold weather. He was wearing a big red belly pocket with a flesh colored tight cotton padded jacket inside. From the outside, I can't see that he has a cotton padded jacket in his belly pocket.

He was wearing a copper ring and a long red damask. There are two wooden wheels under your feet. You can slide out of the stage with a hula.

The first pair of roller skates in this era was born!

Wulang is also very familiar with the play. Now he has to play the Third Prince of the Dragon King. Tian Yuqiao had no choice but to let him fool around.

Because Wulang joined, Wang and they all looked at the stage with a smile.

”Niang, Wulang is a playful boy. No, it's his turn to play later.” Wang said with a smile.
