Chapter 233 What's wrong with having another wedding? Huang...
The auspicious dates were quickly calculated, and the two dates were not far apart. The first day was the coronation ceremony, and the second day was the wedding of the emperor and empress, which saved people who came to watch the ceremony from making an extra trip.
After choosing an auspicious date, Teng Shun and Zhong Yue began to organize the fairies to write invitations.
First, the King of Fengdu, Judge Lu Ya, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the King of the Underworld must all be invited;
Each of the three great Bodhisattvas, Many Treasures Tathagata, Ksitigarbha Buddha, Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, who lived in the Western Lingshan Mountain, and the three thousand mortal guests who followed Many Treasure, must have a separate invitation.
We are all family, even if many of us have never met each other, we cannot let them lose face in such a big matter.
After all, who knows which cloud in the sky will bring rain? If you wait until you need someone to help you, it will be too late.
In addition to these people, there are also those who can be sought after, such as Amitabha Buddha served by Guanyin Bodhisattva, as well as Sunlight Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha Bodhisattva, Lingji Bodhisattva, etc. Not only should they be invited, but the invitations should also be written by Fu Li and Nezha personally, giving them enough face.
Then came the Phoenix Clan of the Immortal Volcano, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, and various aquatic creatures.
As for the big monsters and mountain masters in the mountains, Fu Li gave Wukong the right to decide who to invite and who not to invite. He would write as many invitations as he wanted, all according to Wukong's wishes.
As for the overseas immortals other than Penglai, Fu Li handed the matter over to his master Hua Jing Yuanjun.
Firstly, that was Hua Jing Yuanjun's social circle, and secondly, she also wanted to give her master more bargaining chips, so that no matter what happened in the future, no one would dare to look down on her just because she was a food god.
Since Hua Jing Yuanjun was the elder, Fu Li did not send anyone to inform her. Instead, she took the opportunity to stack two large boxes of invitations when she and Nezha visited her.
When her disciple and her son-in-law came to see her, Hua Jing Yuanjun was very happy. She asked them to sit down first and said that she had recently developed some new dishes and wanted to cook them herself for them to try.
Fu Li originally wanted to mention the invitation, but seeing that her master was in high spirits, she put it aside for now and said, "That's great! I've eaten all over the world, but I still think your cooking is the best.
You have to cook a few more dishes today. We have been working non-stop for several days, so we need to make up for it today."
"Okay, okay, you guys sit down, you guys sit down, I promise all the food is what you like." Yuanjun was coaxed by his disciple with just a few words, and he spoke out his true feelings.
After she finished speaking, she realized that her son-in-law was still there, so she turned to Nezha as if nothing had happened: "Nezha's taste is still the same as before, right?"
Nezha pretended nothing happened, smiled and acted clever, "Master, you still think of me. My taste has never changed. You are a great cook, and everything you cook tastes better than a human. I love it all."
Yuanjun's smile deepened. "Child, you've always liked sweet and sour food. It just so happens that two of my new dishes are both sweet and sour. I guarantee you'll love them."
Having said that, she left the inner hall and went to the west kitchen.
Su Yue brought them more than a dozen kinds of tea and snacks and asked them to eat them by themselves, then went to the West Garden to help Hua Jing Yuanjun.
To be honest, Nezha was a little surprised that Hua Jing Yuanjun actually knew what Nezha liked to eat.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Fu Li touched his elbow.
"Nothing." Nezha smiled and shook his head, looking at the snacks on the table with tea. Most of them were Fuli's favorites, and a few were his taste.
He was vague just now because he was afraid that Hua Jing Yuanjun would confuse the taste of "Lingzhuzi" and "Nezha".
Although they are the same person, they are related in past and present lives after all, and their tastes have a lot to do with their respective physical parents.
——Although Lingzhuzi was born without parents, Nezha does. Their tastes are very different.
Lingzhuzi likes spicy food, while Nezha's taste is like his mother Yin Hua, and he likes sweet and sour food.
Thinking of Madam Yin, Nezha felt a rare melancholy: "I wonder where my mother has reincarnated into?"
When the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty, Nezha followed the will of heaven and went to help the Zhou Dynasty. Yin Hua did not interfere with the choices of his three sons, but felt that he was the descendant of King Tang and the commander of Chentang Pass, and he was quite trusted by Emperor Xin. It was reasonable for him to be loyal to the Shang Dynasty.
Originally, she could have been deified after her death, but after learning that Li Jing was on the list of gods, she was determined not to meet Li Jing again and reincarnated.
In her previous ten reincarnations, the three Nezha brothers secretly looked after her. Although there were occasional setbacks, her life was generally smooth.
After ten generations, they could no longer interfere. Otherwise, it would damage Yin Hua's inherent good fortune.
Speaking of Yin Hua, Fu Li was speechless. After a long while, he blamed himself and said, "It was me who didn't think it through and chose Li Jing to start the robbery."
The person who started the robbery must be on the list.
Seeing her downcast expression, Nezha smiled and took her into his arms, saying softly, "I feel very lucky to have been able to take care of my mother and ensure her well-being for ten lifetimes. It's just that I feel a little melancholy when I think of it occasionally.
"Sister, you killed Li Jing to avenge me, so please don't blame yourself. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to die as a token of my guilt?"
"Go away, stop talking nonsense!" Fu Li subconsciously covered his mouth. "If you dare to mention dying as an apology again, do you think I'll pay any attention to you?"
——The saying “cut the bones to return to father, cut the flesh to return to mother”, wasn’t that Li Jing forcing Nezha to die to apologize for his sins?
Seeing that she was really angry, Nezha quickly admitted his mistake and repeatedly promised that he would never curse him again. Only then did he appease her.
Su Heng was carrying two dishes out when she heard the couple quarreling at the door. She stopped and waited for a moment until they reconciled. Then she pretended she knew nothing and smiled as she carried the dishes in.
"Li'er, Nezha, take a look! These two dishes are what you two love to eat. The chef made them first so you can enjoy them."
With her level of cultivation, she was noticed by the couple as soon as she entered the yard.
But both of them treated her as the elder of the family and had no intention of being shy. They quarreled when they should and reconciled when they should, which added some vitality to the Temple of the God of Food.
Seeing Su Heng playing dumb, the two shameless people of course acted as if nothing had happened.
Nezha: "Wow, it's sweet and sour pork!"
Fu Li: "It's actually crispy pork ribs! I love crispy pork ribs the most!"
The two of them were more enthusiastic than each other, making Su Heng, who was helping them, grin from ear to ear.
After all, these dishes are also her contribution, right?
After sending Su Heng away with a lot of praise, the two did not eat first, but sat obediently waiting for Yuanjun to prepare all the dishes.
Anyway, there are formations engraved on these bowls and plates for the dishes. If you put them on immediately after they come out of the pot, the flavor will not be lost at all within a month.
The Heavenly Court only cooks when hosting large-scale events, and the longest carnival record does not exceed one month.
Moreover, the cooking skills of the Food God Temple are excellent. No matter which immortal comes to the banquet, as long as the dishes are served on the table, they will be wiped out in less than half an hour.
The dishes were served one after another. Except for the first two plates which were delivered by Su Heng himself, the rest were delivered by the Jade Maiden and Heavenly Official on duty at the Temple of the God of Food. No one objected to the two of them not picking up their chopsticks.
It took Hua Jing Yuanjun an hour to prepare eighteen dishes, ten of which were Fu Li's favorites, and the other eight were sweet and sour.
After Yuanjun finished cleaning up, she came out and saw that they hadn't even touched their chopsticks. She couldn't help but say angrily, "Didn't I tell you to eat first? You young people can't stand being hungry. Don't worry about those messed up rules."
Although she had been the God of Food for many years, in her eyes, her disciple Fu Li was still the little girl from Yucang Mountain who would beg her for food. As long as Fu Li was in Heaven, she would come to the God of Food Temple every now and then. Hua Jing Yuanjun would always prepare a lot of delicious food for her. After he left, he would develop new dishes according to her taste and make them for her next time she came.
The more Fuli likes to eat, the happier she is.
The couple stood up and went to greet her, one on each side helping her to sit on the upper seat. Fu Li said flatteringly, "I still prefer to eat with Master. It tastes even better when I eat with you."
Hua Jing Yuanjun smiled broadly, but said, "It's the same dish, how can I taste different flavors?"
Nezha also followed suit: "That's different. With elders watching over me, even eating bran or vegetables tastes delicious."
Yuan Jun teased, "Then come back next time, and I won't bother you. I'll just give you some bran or some vegetables."
"That won't do!" Nezha said, "Master, you have to love me, otherwise my sister will be distressed."
Fuli spat at him, and the three of them couldn't help but laugh.
After the lively meal, Fu Li brought Yuan Jun to the two boxes, opened them, and revealed stacks of vermilion invitations with gold outlines.
Nezha reached out and took one out and handed it to her. Fuli took it and unfolded it in front of Yuanjun. "Master, look, the invitation is complete. All we need is the name. If you want to invite someone, just write their name. Once you're done, send it to Wenqu Hall and someone will deliver it to the right person."
Hua Jing Yuanjun looked at the two boxes and said, "This is too much. How can I have so many friends?"
"Not much, how can there be more?" Fu Li patted her hands and said with a smile, "If there is any leftover, Master can give it to any immortal official or immortal maiden that he likes, and let their relatives and friends also share in the benefits."
In fact, to put it bluntly, the extra invitations were left for Hua Jing Yuanjun to win people's hearts.
The Heavenly Palace is not poor nowadays. Fuli not only has the industries of Penglai, but also has a share from Emei and the underworld.
For him, having dozens or even hundreds of guests was just a matter of spending a few more spirit stones. If a few spirit stones could make the master happy, why not do it?
Hua Jing Yuanjun was born into the family of the Dai State, so how could she not understand these things? The disciple only needed to hint at them, and she understood.
She disapproved and said, "You are just about to ascend the throne, and the expenses of the Heavenly Court are high at this time. Save as much as you can."
Fu Li disagreed and said with a smile, "Master, you are well aware of your disciple's abilities. Money is never saved, it is earned. When the Heavenly Palace falls into my hands, there will only be a flood of wealth, and the treasury will definitely not be empty."
Hua Jing Yuanjun thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she stopped refusing.
She had the two boxes of invitations carried to her study, and took out two booklets from her sleeve: "This one is for the menu for the coronation ceremony, and this one is for your wedding as emperor and empress.
I was going to send it to you guys, but since you're here, it saves me a trip. Come take a look, and if there's anything unsuitable, I'll add or subtract it right away."
Although the two have been married twice and this is the third time, Yuanjun only has Fuli as her personal disciple, and she raised her as her own daughter since she was a child. She supports Fuli in everything she does.
Besides, I am just holding a few more weddings. It is not like killing or setting fire to anyone, and it is not spending other people’s money. What’s wrong with that?
