EBE Chapter 402 Sweet Potato Feast
Chapter 402 Sweet Potato Feast
When the work here was finished, Eunuch Mu stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Queen, the imperial kitchen has prepared the sweet potato banquet. Please move to the banquet hall."
Emperor Yongshun couldn't wait to say, "Oh, I'm so excited. Let's go to the banquet hall to eat sweet potatoes."
He happily flicked his sleeves and walked out first. All the concubines had achieved their goals, and they were invited to the emperor's banquet, so they followed him happily, hoping to gain the emperor's favor.
Sheng Zhen and Zheng Sisi followed behind. Zheng Sisi asked Sheng Zhen, "Last time you sent roasted sweet potatoes to the emperor, did you tell him that eating too much sweet potatoes would cause farting?"
Sheng Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "I think I did, but since there was only one person, my father didn't take it seriously. He said that the common people didn't even have food, so what's the big deal about farting? As long as I can fill my stomach, that's fine."
Zheng Sisi nodded to show her understanding, and then asked, "Then have you told him that eating too much may cause constipation?"
Sheng Zhen shook his head and said, "I forgot to mention this, but I don't think father would care about these little things."
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "That's right. After all, father is the ruler of a country. He has to deal with so many government affairs every day. How can he have time to care about these trivial matters?"
Sheng Zhen sighed and said, "Yes, Father is always very busy, and we as his children should be more considerate of him."
Zheng Sisi nodded and said, "Well, you should study hard and make more contributions to the country in the future so that the emperor will have less to worry about, hehe!"
The two of them walked and talked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When everyone arrived at the banquet hall, they found that it had been decorated very gorgeously and elegantly. There were gauze curtains between the beams and pillars. Candles flickered on several large candlesticks in the hall, making the slightly dim hall unusually bright. The floor was covered with soft carpets.
The dining tables were rectangular low tables, arranged in two rows on both sides of the banquet hall. There were two tables placed horizontally in the front, which should be the seats for the emperor and the queen.
The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Not only did they look exquisite, but they also exuded an enticing aroma, making people salivate.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are two plates on each table, filled with sweet potatoes, one is baked and the other is steamed.
As soon as Zheng Sisi came in, she smelled the unique aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Emperor Yongshun also shrugged his nose, he still remembered the smell. He walked straight to the top seat and sat down. The empress also sat at the next table. Sheng Zhen pulled her to sit in the front seat next to the emperor.
The other concubines also sat down according to their positions. The emperor said, "Today is also a family banquet. Everyone, please feel free to eat. Don't be restrained."
Emperor Yongshun ignored everyone after he finished speaking, took a roasted sweet potato, peeled it quickly and started eating: "Mm, it's still as soft and sticky as before, and the aroma is tempting. My beloved concubines, come and eat!"
Everyone followed the example of Emperor Yongshun and peeled the sweet potatoes. After taking a bite, they all exclaimed: "It's really fragrant, soft and glutinous, and it doesn't take much time to eat. It's delicious."
Everyone was concentrating on eating the roasted sweet potatoes. There were two roasted sweet potatoes on each table. Some people thought they were delicious, so they finished both and then moved on to eat the steamed sweet potatoes.
Zheng Sisi looked at them and held her forehead. These women! Zheng Sisi was afraid that they would be embarrassed later, so she kindly reminded them: "Your Majesty, ladies and nobles, this sweet potato is a good food. It has many advantages and can supplement the various nutrients needed by the human body, but it must be eaten in moderation."
The Queen humbly asked: "Princess Anping, what will happen if you eat too much?"
Zheng Sisi looked around before saying, "It won't be a big problem if you eat too much, it will just cause a little trouble for everyone."
Everyone was confused, wondering what was bothering them. Emperor Yongshun said, "Sisi, just tell me straight, don't scare me."
Zheng Sisi pursed her lips and said, "If you eat too much sweet potato, your stomach will be bloated and then the air will be expelled. If you eat more, you may not need to go to the toilet, but your stomach will be bloated again."
Emperor Yongshun digested it for a while and said, "You are talking about farting and constipation, right?"
Zheng Sisi gave Emperor Yongshun a thumbs up. I said it so cryptically just to save face for everyone. The emperor is awesome! Zheng Sisi said, "That's right, just as the emperor said."
Emperor Yongshun laughed and said, "It's okay. We just eat occasionally to maintain our health. As long as the common people can fill their stomachs, it's fine. You don't have to worry about Sisi, ha ha ha!"
Zheng Sisi had reminded him of all the things she needed to remind him of. It was up to him to decide what to do. She picked up the sweet potato porridge and took two sips. "Well, this porridge is well cooked. It's thick, fragrant, and delicious."
