On the day of Yu Chongshan's birthday, because he had to attend court and handle official business, the banquet was held in the afternoon.
So much so that Yue Fuguang stayed up most of the night reading novels on the system, and then slept soundly until noon the next day.
There were quite a few people at the banquet. Yue Fuguang glanced around and saw that, apart from the emperor, everyone else was a guest who had arrived on the day of her adoption.
With the emperor absent, the atmosphere was noticeably more lively, with everyone chatting and laughing, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
The happiest person was the birthday celebrant, Yu Chongshan, who touched the gift he had been longing for for many days.
His granddaughter probably saw that he always wore the jade pendant she had given him last time, so this time she gave him an even prettier jade pendant.
As Yu Chongshan touched the warm, smooth texture of the jade pendant and the unrecognizable ancient patterns carved on it, even the white wine he drank tasted sweet.
【Master, it seems the old man really likes the peace pendant you gave him.】
"How could I not like it? Although mortals cannot see that this peace pendant is engraved with an array, it can safely evade attacks from experts in this world."
The jade pendant itself is made of spiritual jade, far superior to ordinary mortal jade.
Yu Chongshan's heart stirred. So this peace pendant really could bring peace. He thought it was a top-grade jade, and his granddaughter was really thoughtful to give it to an old man like him.
I never imagined that the jade was spiritual jade. Although I don't know the difference between spiritual jade and their other jade, it is definitely not an ordinary item.
Now, with the added benefit of ensuring safety... Yu Chongshan reluctantly touched the jade pendant at his waist. He was afraid he couldn't hold onto it, so he decided to return it to his granddaughter.
Such a good thing shouldn't be given to outsiders!
Outsider Emperor Mingxi: My dear minister, in your heart, am I the kind of emperor who would steal the heart of his ministers?
However, I'll exchange the Peace Pendant for the best items in my treasury, I guarantee you won't lose out!
The clever little darling Yue Fuguang knew this, so she deliberately said, "Grandfather, this jade pendant was a birthday gift that I personally chose for you, so it has a special meaning."
You can't just leave it in the warehouse and let it collect dust.
"Let me make this clear first, you have to wear it every day. I'll check it, and if you lose it or don't wear it, I'll be very angry, and I won't be able to appease you!"
Upon hearing Yue Fuguang's words, Yu Chongshan instantly felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a bite of ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day.
With Fu Guang's words, he was more useful than if he had the imperial sword; even their emperor couldn't ask him for more.
Emperor Mingxi, who was on an incognito visit: Fu Guang, could this be to keep an eye on him? Is he... is he that kind of person?
Although... the Ping An Pei was indeed something to be envious of, he wasn't someone who had never seen good things before!
The Crown Prince following behind Emperor Mingxi: Do you really have no idea whether you are that kind of person or not?
Of all the so-called treasures in your warehouse, which one is a spirit jade? Which one can compare to the peace pendant engraved with the legendary array?
The crown prince silently sniffed the air. Besides the strong 'sour' smell emanating from his father, there was also the fragrant aroma of wine and food.
He could have been sitting inside drinking freely, but his father made him arrive a little late.
If we go in at this time, wouldn't it be awkward? Wouldn't the Yu family be surprised?
The prince silently cried out in his heart for what felt like the umpteenth time, "Eunuch Qian, come back quickly! I can't do your job, I simply can't do it!"
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand to stop the person who wanted to report, and he led the Crown Prince toward Mingyue Pavilion.
Yu Chongshan and Yue Fuguang soon learned that the emperor had taken the crown prince to Mingyue Pavilion.
Soon, a table of steaming hot dishes and wine, exactly the same as the banquet in front, was placed in the small hall of Mingyue Pavilion.
The prince's chopsticks seemed to have eyes, heading straight for a very good-looking, glossy, and tempting piece of braised pork belly with three layers of fat.
Emperor Mingxi: How come this son has no sense at all? Didn't he see that the braised pork was also something his father had his eye on?
He also began to miss his father-in-law, Qian, who had gone home for a funeral. If Old Qian were here, he would have definitely gotten him the best piece of meat in the whole bowl!
Crown Prince: When it comes to delicious food, there are no fathers or sons. Whoever puts it in their bowl first gets to keep it!
The guests, including the Minister of the Six Ministries, who were to have another meal with the guests, replied: "We understand, we won't eat the braised pork...we won't eat it!"
After a hearty meal, Emperor Mingxi said, "The dishes at the Yu residence are too plain. Your Highness, when you return to the palace, have your mother send a batch of dishes to the Yu residence."
"Yes, Father!"
Everyone: If you think the dishes at the Yu residence are too small and contain too little food, just say so. Saying they are too plain is ridiculous. These exquisite patterns are so beautiful. How are they plain?
If this is considered simple, then wouldn't all the things in their mansion be only good for dog bowls?
Emperor Mingxi ignored the dissent and slander of his ministers. Since the bowl was too small and he hadn't had enough of his favorite dishes, he insisted on getting a bigger bowl so he could come back next time!
After eating and drinking their fill, the group, under the bright moon high in the sky, strolled towards the greenhouse, digesting their food as they trudged through the thin layer of snow.
These places have become must-visit spots for them. If they come to the Yu family mansion, this place is a must-visit; otherwise, they feel like something is missing.
Actually, there wasn't much to see in the greenhouse at this time. In preparation for Yu Chongshan's banquet, the vegetable garden had been almost completely plucked, except for the vegetables specially reserved for Yue Fuguang.
Under the illumination of several glass lamps hanging in the air, the entire greenhouse floor was covered with a light green layer, which was planted by Lord Wang, Wu Yong, and Feng Tang yesterday for Yue Fuguang.
These people know more about greenhouses than Yue Fuguang, who only knows how to eat.
However, the only thing they didn't recognize was the stuff growing in the seven or eight large porcelain jars that had appeared here seven days ago.
