Many children, many blessings: The male protagonist who has no descendants becomes a man who dotes o

An official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stepped forward and said cautiously, "Empress, this rare ingredient is the main ingredient of a crucial dish at the birthday banquet, and this dish is the Queen Mother's favorite. Now that the ingredient is not available, we are worried that it will affect the overall effect of the birthday banquet."

The chef from the imperial kitchen also said, "Your Majesty, the cooking process of this dish is complicated. It is difficult to find a suitable substitute in a short period of time to maintain the original taste and quality."

Chu Yuqin nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Then we will start from two aspects. On the one hand, we will immediately send people to other places where this kind of food may be found to find sources, and at all costs, we must transport the food back before the birthday banquet. At the same time, we will send more people to check along the transportation channel to see if there is a way to clear it as soon as possible. On the other hand, the chefs in the imperial kitchen will start to study and find suitable substitutes. Although the substitutes may not be able to completely restore the taste and flavor of the original ingredients, we must try our best to ensure that the quality of the dishes is not greatly affected."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Chu Yuqin continued, "In the process of finding a substitute, we must fully consider the Queen Mother's taste preferences and the coordination of the dishes in the entire birthday banquet menu. Everyone must seize the time and not slack off in any link."

Afterwards, Chu Yuqin personally supervised the progress of various tasks.

She asked about progress from time to time and gave everyone encouragement and support.

Under her leadership, everyone was full of confidence and motivation.

The team sent out to find food traveled day and night and ran around everywhere.

In the imperial kitchen, the chefs racked their brains to try various possible substitutes and constantly adjusted the cooking methods and ingredients.

After several days and nights of hard work, good news finally came.

A team looking for food found a small amount of this rare ingredient in a remote place. At the same time, the imperial kitchen successfully found a more suitable substitute, and through repeated experiments, the taste of the new dish was greatly improved.

When Chu Yuqin learned the news, a relieved smile finally appeared on her face.

She knew that with everyone's joint efforts, the crisis was finally resolved and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet could proceed smoothly as planned.

As the birthday date approaches, Chu Yuqin feels more and more stressed.

She was busy until late at night every day, personally checking the preparation status of every link.

Her personal maid said distressedly: "Empress, you should also take care of your health. You can leave these things to us."

Chu Yuqin smiled slightly and said, "This is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I must personally supervise it and cannot be negligent in the slightest."

Finally, the day of the Queen Mother's birthday arrived.

The palace was decorated with lights and full of joy.

Guests arrived one after another, and they were all shocked by the gorgeous decorations and festive atmosphere in the palace.

Chu Yuqin was wearing a phoenix dress and a nine-dragon phoenix crown on her head. She was noble, beautiful, and graceful. Surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, she walked slowly towards the main hall.

Tonight she is as beautiful as a fairy, noble and elegant, outshining all the other beauties.

Seeing this, the ministers could not help but sigh in admiration, thinking to themselves: She is indeed the most beloved queen of the present emperor, her bearing and appearance are incomparable to ordinary people! No wonder the emperor disbanded the harem for the queen.

Beside Chu Yuqin, there was a girl of similar age. She was the Empress Dowager’s great-niece, Princess Anning, Chu Mengyao.

Princess An Ning had bright eyes, white teeth, a delicate and pretty appearance, skin whiter than snow, beautiful facial features, and a pair of big eyes like black grapes that were exceptionally bright and clear.

This little princess has been lively and kind since her childhood and is the queen dowager's favorite.

She was dressed tonight in a pink dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, looking very gorgeous.

Amid cheers and applause, the Queen Mother was escorted into the hall.

The Queen Mother was particularly excited tonight, with a bright smile on her face. She looked radiant, graceful and elegant, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

When Princess An Ning saw the Empress Dowager coming, she immediately rushed over with joy and shouted crisply, "Grandma Empress Dowager, you look so beautiful today."

The Queen Mother laughed, reached out and touched An Ning's head, and said, "You are very beautiful today, like a flower."

"No way." An Ning lowered her head shyly, "I'm still far from being a granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin looked at the Queen Mother with a smile and called softly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother raised her head, glanced at Chu Yuqin, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, Queen."

After a pause, she ordered the palace attendant beside her, "Hurry up and give him a seat."

Chu Yuqin thanked the emperor and took her seat. Everyone around her stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the Queen Mother. I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, get up."

After everyone was seated, the Queen Mother looked at Chu Yuqin and asked, "Why hasn't the Emperor come yet? Send someone to hurry him up."

Chu Yuqin said quickly: "I have already asked someone to urge him. I think the emperor will be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps and hearty laughter came from outside the hall: "Mother, I am late, please don't blame me."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yinyu walked in.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a jade belt around his waist. His handsome face was full of smiles. He was in high spirits and full of energy, and an aura of majesty emanated from his whole body.

At this moment, his handsome face was covered with a smile as warm as the sun, and he was in high spirits. He looked at the Queen Mother with burning eyes and walked towards her step by step.

The Queen Mother held his hand with a smile and said, "It's good that the Emperor has come. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the Emperor has come."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm here now." Tang Yinyu comforted her with a smile.

The birthday banquet officially began, and the etiquette officer guided the guests to their seats in an orderly manner according to the carefully arranged process in advance.

On the stage, wonderful performances took place one after another, including graceful dances, beautiful music and amazing acrobatics.

The guests enjoyed the performances and savored the delicious food, and were full of praise for the birthday banquet.

The Queen Mother sat in the main seat with a pleased smile on her face.

She looked at Chu Yuqin, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude: "Queen, you have worked hard. This birthday banquet is very well organized."

Chu Yuqin smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this is what I should do. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

A heroic sword dancer is concentrating on a wonderful performance.

He had a slender figure, and the sword in his hand flashed a cold light under the light. The sword was as powerful as a dragon, and it created gusts of wind as he danced.
