eunuch was a bunch of new clothes and shoes. When he walkedhisis feet carried the wind as he changed into a bright Peach Blossom Lake Blue Palace dress. Her pleated skirt was extremely big and when he walked, her figure was graceful and full of joy. Wang Rong was not a petty person with the palace in his hands. While she was in charge of the palace, the number of palace maid was constantly being cleaned up. The roster was made twice a year, and there were no redundant staff.

The old palace maid used this time to pray for the blessings of His Majesty's birthday and left the palace. The commoners were not allowed to slaughter beasts, were not allowed to serve in plain clothes, and the yamen did not handle criminal cases.

In short, the four seas must be at peace.

On the day of His Majesty's birthday, Wang Rong He woke up early and dressed neatly, waiting for His Majesty to get up. She was gentle and kind, and even personally served him a bowl of Eight Treasures Brocade Longevity Noodle.

”I wonder why you woke up so early today?” Zhu Yijun woke up early in the morning to accept palace maid's birthday greeting, then looked at the table of breakfast Wang Rong and the breakfast that he had personally made for him, and his heart felt heavy. You made them? ”

”Even the noodles were kneaded by me.” Wang Rong He said, ”Because I wanted to wake up early today, I couldn't sleep soundly last night.”

”Come, eat with me. Let us live together for a long time.” Zhu Yijun laughed.

After using the noodles, Zhu Yijun went to Huangji Hall to accept the hundred officials' birthday presents. Because there were no subjects staying in the palace for the feast this year, Wang Rong and her suggestion for Shang Fang to make a batch of birthday pancakes for the hundred officials to bring back to share with their families after paying their respects was also to celebrate with the citizens.

Wang Rong's original words were, in an ordinary family, if someone else came to pay their respects, they would have to send a lot of brown sugar snacks. Since the officials of the Emperor's house came to pay their respects, they would not leave a banquet or leave empty-handed.

Zhu Yijun let Wang Rong handle the situation as he saw fit.

Wang Rong and the eunuch who called Shang Zhong told him, ”The snacks are made with eight of the same size molds, nine taels of silver each, and a plate in the middle, and a dried fruit, and nine portions, and all of them are filled with the same color long wooden boxes, and are sweet and salty in half, and sweet in the mouth, and made into five kernels, and seasoned with a little rose sugar, and fried with a salted pork five-flower, and mixed with a bamboo shoot, and a dried prawn and bean curd, so it must be done, it must be salty and delicious.”

”This is His Majesty's birthday cake. You can't be sloppy about it.”

With just a few words from empress, the servants would have to start running. The supervisors would go for the seasoning experiments, which would cost nine taels of silver each. That was a huge piece of cake, even if it was not done well, it would have a weird taste. There were also other molds that had to be made as well. The pattern on the cake was the five Bat Balls that the Empress had ordered, with one word of life in the middle and nine words in the middle. After the biscuit was tested, he would first have to send the Qixiang Palace to the Empress to have a look. The Empress nodded.

Apart from the food supervisor, the rest of them had to follow suit. There were so many civil and military people in the dynasty, yet there were so many long wooden boxes. As long as there were eight big snacks and a plate of dried fruits, they would have to be prepared and could only be prepared with extra manpower to quickly rush out of the box. With the consent of the empress, the top quality red satin was cut into square shapes and then wrapped with a flower and placed on a table to look, it was also very lively.

”And he wanted to say that His Majesty wouldn't invite any group of officials for his birthday banquet this year, so we might be able to lighten the matter a bit. In the end, we weren't even able to handle this.” said the cook, rubbing his aching wrist.

”Are you satisfied?” The other said, ”We personally made a birthday cake for His Majesty. When we leave the palace and return home, we will use this as an excuse to make more cakes. We will also get a lot of money. This is worth more than making a feast.”

”This is all prepared in the back room by the masters. We just need to knead it, press it, pat it, we don't see anything else. How would you know how His Majesty made this birthday cake?”

”I said you're stupid, you're really stupid.” The chef said, ”The sushi stuffing is nothing more than that, a little less than that. In any case, no one outside has eaten it before, so we should focus on the reputation of the food prison and be afraid that others will not believe us.”

Zhu Yijun seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the dessert. The birthday cake, the King's Face, and the Kunning Palace had all been let him taste it, it was sweet and tasty, but it would feel greasy if he ate more than two pieces. Perhaps it was because of the added rose candy, but it was suitable in the salty way, so he was even hungrier than the bean cake.

Zhu Yijun's mouth reflected the taste he had tasted before, and he was ecstatic, ”Since there's no feast this year, the various officials will bring their birthday pancakes home to celebrate with their families, eating an extra piece of meat at home, and you can consider it as accompanying us on our birthday.”

Zhu Yijun's words were humorous, the courtier were relaxed and natural, as they laughed and laughed merrily. This was a rare occasion, ever since Zhu Yijun had changed from being the diligent ruler of the country, the relationship between the emperor and official was extremely tense.

This time, His Majesty said that he wanted to live a frugal life because of the cultivation of his Kunning Palace, and did not treat the hundred officials. He only celebrated in the harem, allowing many to see hope.

It was a blessing to be able to meet a wise king.

After exiting the Huangji Hall and entering the harem, he saw Wang Rong waiting at the side of the palace. Wang Rong sat on the emperor's throne and said, ”I've come to fetch His Majesty.”

Zhu Yijun looked at her and laughed, ”The others would at most be outside the palace when they receive you, while you are already here at the Huangji Hall.”

”Your Majesty's birthday is going to be different from usual.” Wang Rong He said, ”After so long, it's really hard for His Majesty to feel anything new.”

”Mn, the next time you enter Huangji Hall to wait for me, I will definitely feel that it's new.” Zhu Yijun suggested.

”I'm not fooled by His Majesty's evil scheme.” Wang Rong He said.

Now that the banquet was being decorated, Zhu Yijun could rest for a while before going back to the banquet. He looked at Wang Rong and asked, ”What kind of present did you prepare for us this year?”

”Your Majesty, guessing?” ”Yes.” If my guess is right, I will send you off too. ”

”What if I'm not right?” Zhu Yijun said.

”If I can't, then I won't.” Wang Rong said slyly, ”Since it's His Majesty's birthday, I don't want the prize money.”

Zhu Yijun coordinated and guessed a few things, Wang Rong He shook his head, and Zhu Yijun admitted defeat, ”I can't guess.”
