I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Finally able to leave here, Liu Tan was really relieved when he sat on the bullock cart.

If he didn't leave that Zhuangzi again, he was afraid that he couldn't help but fiddle with something again.

Although he also likes to tinker with these things, the problem is that it doesn't match his identity.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao couldn't help persuading him even after running to farm. If he continued to torment, he was afraid that Liu Che would think that he was an unworthy descendant of the Liu family.

Of course, if you think about the good, it's better to study these things than to fight for the crown prince, right?

When Liu Tan left, he used an ox cart to take away a little Kunmi by the way. When he came back, the little Kunmi was gone, but he brought back an extra carriage with all the things he had made. wine and sugar.

When he was about to reach the palace gate, Miao Rui asked him a very serious question: "Your Highness, where shall we go first?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that everything he had prepared was double, and Bingtang even prepared a copy for Princess Danyang.

At the beginning, he was penniless when he returned to the palace as an elder brother, so naturally he didn't have any gifts.

Although Princess Danyang is not Chen Ajiao's biological child, she has been raised by her side for so many years, and she is no different from his own sister. Liu Tan has always felt that this little girl should be given a meeting gift.

So now the question is, should he go to Liu Che's or Chen Ajiao's first?

Logically speaking, he should go to see Liu Che first, and then send the gift to Chen Ajiao first, but he wants to offer the treasure, how can he offer the treasure after sending it there first?

This is the downside of the family being too big and parents living apart, and I still have to think about how not to offend them.

After pondering for a while, Liu Tan said: "Let's go to see the father personally first. At this point... the father should still be discussing politics with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it is not over, don't bother the father. Go to the mother's place first. , and then let the queen mother send someone to tell the father about it."

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he felt that he was really a clever little ghost, who could come up with such a good idea.

As for whether Chen Ajiao sent someone to call for Liu Che to come over, he didn't care, anyway, it was a matter between them and their husband and wife, and there were too many factors involved, it was no longer just a matter of relationship between two people.

Liu Tan decided not to intervene.

After hearing this, Miao Rui got out of the car and ran all the way to Weiyang Palace. Liu Tan thought about going back to his Suiyu Palace to wash and change his clothes. After finishing everything, Miao Rui also ran back and said, "Your Highness , Your Majesty is discussing with the ministers about hosting the envoys."

Liu Tan said resolutely: "Since the father has business to do, let's go to the mother's side first."

Liu Tan had already sent Fu Yu to Chen Ajiao's side. By the way, he also asked Bi Gao to describe everything he had done in the past few days, so that Fu Yu could have an explanation.

In fact, he was also worried about whether they would make Chen Ajiao feel like she was guarding her when she went out without Fu Yue, but the problem was that Liu Tan was just not used to having girls around her.

After Liu Tan was ready, he went to the Jiaofang Hall. This time he was out of the way, followed by a bunch of little eunuchs holding various boxes.

When walking through the palace, many people saw it. Liu Tan also saw many people turning around and leaving in a very concealed manner. I don't know who they reported to.

It doesn't matter to Liu Tan, if you know it, you know it, anyway, the prescription is in his hand, well, I will ask his parents if they can strengthen the security of Zhuangzi.

Although he created these things unintentionally, he also knows that in this era, being unique means making money.

With his identity, he doesn't have to worry about someone robbing his formula, the only one who will rob him is Liu Che, this... he can't do anything if he wants to rob anyone.

As for the others, even if Mrs. Gouyi wanted it, Liu Tan would be able to go back.

Who made his mother the queen?Regardless of whether the empress's relationship is good or not, the empress is naturally noble and can suppress Mrs. Gouyi.

When Liu Tan arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, he heard the laughter of Chen Ajiao and Princess Danyang from a distance.

To be honest, Princess Danyang's laughter is indeed crisp and carefree, even Liu Tan can't help but feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Today's Jiaofangdian is still full of warm fragrance, and a word flashed out of Liu Tan's mind at the moment of stepping in: Gentle Township.

This word is really out of place, anyway, the mistress of Jiaofangdian and her daughter are not very gentle.

Liu Tan was thinking while walking over to salute Chen Ajiao.

Chen Ajiao said with a smile: "Okay, sit down quickly, I am willing to come back."

Liu Tan was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect to stay outside for so long, it's my son's fault."

Chen Ajiao didn't care and said: "Okay, what's the matter for Xiao Langjun to play outside for a few days?"

Chen Ajiao never felt that her son needs to stay in the palace all the time, so that she has to worry about whether the child is stupid.

One must know that Liu Che liked to wander around a lot when he was the prince, not to mention that Liu Tan didn't go to any messy place, but his own Zhuangzi.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if it is a messy place, Chen Ajiao's request to him is not to bring people back like crazy.

After all, the attitude towards a husband is different from that towards a son, and few people can avoid double standards.

Liu Tan was relieved when she heard what she said, and immediately said, "It's not in vain if I go out, and I brought good things for my mother."

Chen Ajiao looked at him curiously: "I heard from Fu Yu that you made some new gadgets, what are they?"

Liu Tan glanced at Cen You behind him, and Cen You immediately ran out and ordered someone to carry the things up.

Liu Tan had already figured out the order on the way here, the fruit wine should be served first, otherwise, if the white sugar and rock sugar were served first, it would be easy to cover up the taste of the fruit wine.

When two transparent crystal bottles were presented, Chen Ajiao was attracted by one of them.

Liu Tan knew at a glance that Chen Ajiao likes pomegranate wine, yes, after all, red is brighter and more atmospheric, while white is much lighter.

Chen Ajiao asked: "What is this?"

Liu Tan explained, "It's autumn pear wine and pomegranate wine."

"Autumn pear wine and pomegranate wine?" Chen Ajiao watched as the people around her opened the wine bottle and poured the wine into a beautiful wine cup.

I have to say that the crystal clear wine cups, the brightly colored wine, and the light reflected from the indoor candlelight really look pleasing to the eye.

Chen Ajiao didn't rush to drink, but picked it up to look carefully and asked, "Is this made of Shuiyu?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "Yes, I think this kind of wine utensils look better, so I asked someone to make this."

Chen Ajiao smiled lightly, "Not bad."

She took a sip while talking. Originally, when she heard the word wine, she thought that the taste might be similar to wine, but she didn't expect that the mouth had the sweetness of fruit. Although there was some taste of wine, it was well neutralized and the taste was very good. good.

Chen Ajiao couldn't hold back and took another sip, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Try Danyang too."

Princess Danyang also has a small wine cup, but it's not crystal.

After all, even if Liu Tan squeezed the employees, he couldn't turn them into gods. It took a lot of people to come up with two sets of drinking utensils and a few crystal jars for sugar in just a few days.

If it weren't for the large number of people he can use, this workload is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Princess Danyang obviously also liked the water jade wine cup, but she didn't open her mouth to ask for it, but took a sip of the pomegranate wine, and then said with a happy smile, "It's delicious!"

Liu Tan was obviously aware of his mistake, and quickly said: "Because time is too tight, I don't have time to make too many wine cups, but I have something else for Danyang."

Princess Danyang didn't take it to heart at first. Although she was a bit arrogant and indulged by Chen Ajiao, she was sensible and knew that her father, queen and queen would naturally take precedence.

At this time, when Liu Tan said that he had something to give her, he was a little excited: "What good things did Fifth Brother bring me?"

Only then did Liu Tan ask Fu Yu to deliver the sugar up. The rock sugar and white sugar were placed in transparent jars, which looked very clean.

The first two jars to go up were white sugar and rock sugar in their original state. Chen Ajiao looked inside the jar, then picked up a silver spoon to take a little bit of white sugar, smelled it, and asked without knowing what it was: "Is this What?"

Liu Tan smiled and said, "It's sugar."

"Sugar?" Chen Ajiao heard this term for the first time. In this era, caramel is called yi, honey is honey, and brown sugar is called Xiji stone honey.

The word sugar may have been used for the first time.

Liu Tan explained, "It's sweet."

Of course Chen Ajiao didn't think that he would be bad for her, so she tasted it, and it was really sweet.

Then he looked at the jar next to him, which was full of cubes, which were also translucent, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's also sugar, but the shape is different."

Chen Ajiao twisted a piece and tasted it, she was very surprised: "How did you make this? What is it made of?"

Liu Tan said: "It's made from Xiji stone honey. Does your mother like it? If you like it, I'll ask someone to copy the recipe back to you."

Liu Tan was a little guilty when he said that, this shit is very simple from the beginning to the end, there is no prescription for it.

Chen Ajiao said indifferently: "You can just take care of your things."

Chen Ajiao has never been short of good things, this thing is new, and it may be very valuable, but since her son made it, what does it matter if she wants this recipe?

Dan Yang on the side said anxiously: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, where are my things?"

Liu Tan smiled and asked someone to send a beautiful and exquisite silver box over.

After Danyang got it, he didn't open it in a hurry, but smiled sweetly at Liu Tan: "Thank you, Fifth Brother!"

Liu Tan then said: "I was too hasty when I returned to the palace, and I didn't have time to prepare a meeting gift for you, let's make it up this time."

Danyang opened the box lightly, and his eyes lit up when he saw various small animal-shaped candies inside.

Although Liu Tan didn't make any candies of various colors because he was in a hurry, even the ordinary translucent appearance was enough to make Princess Danyang feel novel.

Princess Danyang asked someone to bring a pair of tweezers, and looked at the candies one by one. After reading, she tilted her head and asked, "Is this... the Chinese zodiac?"

Liu Tan nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't make too good-looking ones in a hurry. Danyang will take it first, and I'll ask someone to make something more beautiful and send it to you later."

Danyang smiled happily, and the dimples on her face became deeper. She thought for a while, stood up, ran to Liu Tan, handed a gold hook to Liu Tan, and said, "This is for you!"

Liu Tan profusely said, "That is a gift from me for meeting you, and you don't need to return the gift."

Princess Danyang insisted on stuffing it into his hand and said, "Then...then this can also be regarded as my meeting gift for Fifth Brother."

Liu Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In his impression, the gift of meeting was always given by the older to the younger.

Although there is no age difference between him and Princess Danyang, since Princess Danyang calls him brother, he should be the one who greets him.

However, Princess Danyang insisted on giving it to him, so Liu Tan just accepted it.

Fortunately, Princess Danyang chose an accessory for him that both men and women could wear. In order to live up to Princess Danyang's kindness, Liu Tan directly hung it on her body.

Princess Danyang played with those candies in her arms. After seeing it, Liu Tan quickly said, "This is for food. You can eat one if you want. It's not a difficult thing to get. I'll wait until there are enough people. I’ll give you a few for a while, but you can’t eat too much, it’s not good for your teeth.”

Princess Danyang nodded vigorously, but she was still reluctant to eat it.

Liu Tan didn't remind him either, because at this time he saw the little yellow gate beside Liu Che running all the way over and said, "Lady, Your Majesty is here."

Chen Ajiao picked Liu Yemei and smiled lightly: "Che'er is here? That's really rare."

Liu Tan lowered her head and pretended to be dead. Fortunately, Chen Ajiao was just saying that, and she was already getting up to meet Liu Che.

Liu Tan also hurriedly got up, side by side with Princess Danyang, and followed behind Chen Ajiao.

When Chen Ajiao walked slowly to the door, Liu Che had already strode over.

Chen Ajiao walked over and said in a very natural tone: "Are you done?"

Liu Che responded and asked, "Tan'er is back?"

Chen Ajiao replied: "Not long after I came back, this child wanted to go to your place first, but when he heard that you were discussing politics, he came to me."

Liu Tan was so touched that tears streamed down his face. Sure enough, a child with a mother is like a treasure. He doesn't need to explain it himself.

Otherwise, he would have to wait for Liu Che to ask before he could explain it. If Liu Che didn't ask, he would feel guilty if he took the initiative to speak up, so let's not say it... What if Liu Che is careful and remembers?

Even parents are often concerned about whether their status in the heart of their children is higher than that of the other party. They may not care so much when they come to Liu Che, but when Liu Tan finds something new, he does not give it to him first, but sends it to the queen. It's also normal to be happy.

It's all right now, Chen Ajiao directly helped him to settle this matter.

Liu Tan hurried forward: "My son pays homage to Father Emperor."

Liu Che nodded as he walked in and said, "Danyang is also there."

Princess Danyang seemed to be more afraid of Liu Che, so she saluted very ladylikely and said, "Danyang pays homage to Father Emperor."

Liu Che turned to look at Liu Tan: "I heard that you've come up with something new?"

Liu Tan had no choice but to follow one step behind Liu Che and said, "I figured it out when I was bored."

Liu Che smiled and said, "Bored? I heard that you are busy every day."

Liu Tan took the opportunity to say, "It's because grapes are not easy to survive, so we can only rely on external forces, but I didn't expect it to be easy but difficult to do."

Liu Che said firmly, "Since you're back, there must be a result."

Liu Tan waited for Liu Che to sit at the head before he said: "At present, the grape seedlings have all survived, but they still need to be taken care of carefully. Remove the seedlings and let the skilled hands take care of them."

Anyway, the cuttings of the grape seedlings are already alive, but in fact the cuttings are only the simplest step, and the various problems encountered during the growth of the grape seedlings are the troubles.

Liu Tan must know how to grow grapes. Those dumb slaves under him may not even know where the Western Regions are, so how could they grow grapes?

So now those grape seedlings are hot potatoes to him, so hurry up and throw them to others.

In fact, if Liu Che didn't know, he could have waited for Li Xi to take away the grape seedlings after they stabilized. It's a pity that he had registered with Liu Che. The most important thing was that Liu Che still cared so much that he couldn't do without reporting it.

Liu Tan looked at Liu Che eagerly, but finally said: "I see that you have done a good job, but they may not be able to do it. Many seedlings have died in their hands, so let's keep them with you."

Liu Tan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "But Erchen doesn't have anyone who is good at growing grapes."

Chen Ajiao on the side smiled and said: "Then send those who are good at to you. Maybe you have good feng shui and your good fortune can make the grape seedlings survive. Otherwise, why can't others?"

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ?

Is this still my mother?

He was just glad that he had a real mother who could let him breathe a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he gave him a knowing blow!

After Liu Che heard Chen Ajiao's words, he said with a thought: "That's quite true."

Chen Ajiao poured a glass of wine for Liu Che and said: "General Wen Cheng once said that Tan'er's fate is too hard and he is easy to die young, but as long as he can live past the age of 14, he is an excellent fate. A few days before the palace is his birthday, now it can be regarded as fulfilling the words of General Wen Cheng."

Liu Che took a sip from the wine cup while thinking about it, and then said: "It seems so, um, what kind of wine is this?"

Chen Ajiao said: "It's the fruit wine offered by Tan'er. This one is autumn pear and this one is pomegranate. I prefer pomegranate wine. Cheer will try the autumn pear flavor again?"

Liu Che was also very interested. He held the two water jade jugs and looked at them for a while before saying, "Try it."

Liu Tan stared dumbfounded at Liu Che using the crystal wine cup he had presented to Chen Ajiao just now. He was not shy at all, and for a moment he forgot to use the excuse to get the grape seedlings away!

After Liu Che drank the autumn pear wine, he tasted it and said, "Pomegranate is indeed better, but...it's not quite similar to wine. How did you make it?"

Liu Tan, who was flashing all kinds of bullet screens in his head, became sober the moment Liu Che looked over. He quickly said, "This wine is made in a different way from wine. It is made by blending fruit juice and sugar water with white wine."

Even though Liu Che was well-informed, he was a little confused at this time: "White wine? Sugar water?"

It was only at this time that Liu Tan found the rhythm, and asked people to bring up all the things that were supposed to be given to Liu Che.

The same crystal flagon, but this time filled with pure, clear liquor.

Liu Che picked it up, uncorked the wine, sniffed it and said, "This taste is much richer than ordinary wine."

Chen Ajiao also approached curiously and said, "Is this wine? It looks like water."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Liu Tanjiao and said angrily, "I'm really thinking of your father and emperor for all good things, why isn't the queen mother?"

I was careless, I really should prepare a copy for Chen Ajiao, he only thought about giving different wines according to the tastes of men and women, but he forgot that this thing is something new for both of them, so they should have a share for each of them.

Liu Che asked someone to pour some wine into the wine cup, and then Liu Tan saw that he continued to use the wine cup Chen Ajiao used before, and handed the new one to Chen Ajiao.

Liu Tan: ...

I don't know if it's because he has a strong ability to accept it, but anyway, he is already very calm and even reminded: "This wine is stronger than ordinary turbid wine, father, queen and queen drink slowly."

After hearing this, Liu Ju and Chen Ajiao really took a sip. After Liu Che finished drinking, his reaction was almost the same as Lu Xuan's. His eyes lit up and he said, "Good wine!"

And Chen Ajiao frowned and put down the wine cup and said, "It's bitter and spicy."

Liu Che laughed and said, "So my son gave you fruit wine, drink that and that!"

Chen Ajiao snorted and said, "It's almost time, let's set the meal, what's the point of drinking?"

Liu Che nodded, then picked up the small jar containing white sugar and rock sugar and asked, "What is this?"

"This is white sugar and rock sugar, which Erchen... made when he was bored." Liu Tan was a little guilty when he said it. He went out for a few days and made a bunch of things. No matter how you look at it, he looked like he was not doing his job properly.

Fortunately, the grape seedlings have survived, otherwise Liu Che would not be happy even if these things are fresh.

After Liu Che tasted these two kinds of candies, his face was full of surprise, and Danyang who was beside him took the opportunity to show off his rock candy toys.

Liu Che picked it up with a piece of white cloth and played with it for a while and said, "It's interesting, but it's a little small."

Liu Tanshun said: "As long as the fan is big enough, it doesn't matter how big it is."

Liu Che was very interested when he heard it: "It really doesn't matter how old you are?"

Liu Tan nodded naturally: "Yes."

Liu Che returned those sugar figurines to Princess Danyang and said, "Tomorrow, you can find evidence and discuss with him about getting this or something at the state banquet... Bingtang figurines?"

Liu Tan: ...

It seems that I have pitted myself again.

However, it wasn't particularly surprising, after all, Liu Che liked to use all means to show the Huns his life, so that the Huns felt that the big man was prosperous enough.

If this kind of behavior is done in later generations, it will definitely be criticized by netizens for being extravagant and extravagant. Why don't you use that money to help the poor instead of showing off your wealth?

However, in Liu Tan's view, there is actually another very important reason for Liu Che to do this, which is deterrence.

In these days, having money means being able to fight wars, which is basically a warning to the other party: I have money to the point of being extravagant and wasteful, you all be careful, otherwise I will not discuss it with you.

Of course, there must be some Liu Che's flaunting thoughts in it, which is normal.

Liu Tan tried to save himself: "This is fine, but I'm afraid it will require a lot of West Pole honey..."

Liu Che waved his hand, "That's not a problem."

Liu Tan had no choice but to say bitterly: "Yes, I will go to see His Royal Highness tomorrow."

It's just that everyone except him seems to be very happy.

Liu Tan looked at the two people who seemed to be in harmony with each other. After thinking about it, he decided to sneak away first. First, he didn’t want to disturb the world of his parents. Second, he was afraid of saying something that he couldn’t say, which would cause his own workload. Increase.

Liu Che and Chen Ajiao didn't care, and waved him away.

But before he left, Liu Che suddenly said again: "Tomorrow, let Ji'er send some people to you, these things must not be leaked."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, seeing that Chen Ajiao's expression seemed unattractive, he quickly said: "Yes, I wanted to return Zhuangzi to the mother and let the mother continue to take charge."

Liu Che said casually: "The palace people can't do it, can they still resist the Huns?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "The Xiongnu...don't dare to be presumptuous in Chang'an, do they?"

Liu Che didn't speak any more, so Liu Tan could only leave first.

On the way back, Liu Tan felt that he really couldn't figure it out, saying that the relationship between the two of them was not good, but they seemed to be in harmony today. If it was just a superficial couple, they wouldn't even be able to mix wine cups.

But if the relationship is good, Liu Tan remembered that Liu Che hadn't set foot in the Jiaofang Palace for a long time before this.

Liu Tan couldn't help but sigh again, the water in this palace is too deep, it would be great if there could be a feudal state as soon as possible.

Although he was worried, Liu Tan's sleep quality was obviously good. He went back to the Sui Yu Temple to wash and take a bath before falling asleep and only getting up in the morning the next day.

When he saw that the time was almost approaching Chen Shi, he knew that he didn't have to attend today's class again.

After another calculation, it happened to be the point where the court was about to go down.

Liu Tan originally wanted to go to the uterus to look for Liu Shi after he had a leisurely breakfast.

According to what he knew, Liu Ju would return to his womb to deal with some tasks that Liu Che had entrusted to him after he went down to court.

After all, he is not young now, and Liu Che had been on the throne for several years at his age.

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Ju who took the initiative to find the door.

At that time, Liu Tan hadn't finished his breakfast, and he almost choked to death when he heard the news, so he got up quickly to meet Liu Shi.

Liu Ju may have rushed here just after he came down to court. He was wearing the prince's court clothes, which looked a bit luxurious, but because of his frail aura, he didn't appear majestic.

Liu Tan said with some embarrassment: "Your brother is rude."

Liu Ju said with a good-tempered smile: "I was impatient and interrupted my fifth brother's meal. Fifth brother continued, don't worry, I'll just wait."

Liu Tanxin said, who dares to make you wait, I dare to make you wait today, maybe tomorrow I will be labeled as disrespectful to the prince.

It's not that Liu Ju is uneasy and kind to him, but that many people are waiting to trouble him.

Now the years are quiet but because Liu Tan appears too infrequently in front of outsiders, and he is too salty. He basically does nothing, and he can't catch it if he wants to.

Liu Tan welcomed Liu Ju in and said, "Thank you, Prince, but I have almost used it up. Your Highness came here because of the emperor's order, right?"

Liu Ju entered the Palace of Suiyu and looked around without any trace, only to find that this palace was probably the most simple palace he had ever seen.

All the furnishing utensils came in accordance with the regulations, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It could even be seen that apart from the standard things, it was useless for Liu Tan to even order his favorite furnishings.

Along the way, he could see that the queen was very careful when arranging this bedroom. Everything was selected the best within the regulations, and if there was nothing else, he might not be sure what Liu Tan likes, so he just chose it. Just let your son do it himself.

It's not a short time for Liu Tan to return to the palace now, I don't know if he really doesn't care, or not?

Liu Ju wrote down this matter calmly, and after he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is it true that the father said that he saw a candy statue like water jade today?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "That can only be compared with the best water jade. I'm ashamed to say that the candy statues were originally a few semi-finished products that I thought of by accident. Because they were not exquisite enough, I gave them to Danyang to play with. I didn't expect Father I like it so much, it just so happens that I also cast a statue for my father this time."

Liu Ju smiled slightly. He knew that Liu Tan was euphemistically explaining why only Princess Danyang had a candy statue. Anyway, they didn't even have their own father, let alone others.

Of course Liu Ju didn't care, so he said, "Don't worry, there are still more than two months before the state banquet, and it can always be fixed."

Liu Tan said: "Although I don't have a candy statue here, I can still show His Highness what Bingtang is."

After he finished speaking, Fu Yu next to him cleverly passed by holding a beautiful small clay pot—yes, this time it was the clay pot that put the rock sugar.

There is no way, the landlord's house has no surplus food, the two sets of drinking utensils given to Liu Che and Chen Ajiao yesterday have already used up all the crystal rough stones that Lu Xuan gave him, and the small jars of rock sugar were pulled out of his own warehouse Yes, although the quality is not as good as that, but it is not so obvious because it is not pure and transparent.

Now Liu Tan hardly has any rough crystals in his hands, so what he gives to Liu Shi can only be beautiful pottery pots, and lacquerware is useless. After all, raw lacquer is poisonous for things to be imported.

After Liu Ju opened the clay pot, he took out a grain with tweezers, and was surprised to find that it looked a bit strange, even if it was not very transparent, it was still very precious.

After sniffing it, Liu Ju asked, "Is this really candy?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "Of course, Your Highness can try it, anyway, this jar was meant to be given to His Highness."

The prince smiled, put the small piece into his mouth and tasted it, and found that it tasted very good, unlike the sweetness he had tasted before.

Xiji stone honey is already considered a very precious dessert, but compared with this, it also has a strange smell.

Liu Ju said with some emotion: "No wonder Father wanted to put this on the state banquet, but... hey, the state banquet list is not easy to make."

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Isn't there a rule for this? Your Highness needs to worry about it?"

Liu Yi said: "This year is different from previous years. Wusun sent their prince to lead a team to propose marriage. At the state banquet, the father will personally agree, so it should be more grand."

Liu Tan nodded to express his understanding, and asked, "Then how to make this candy statue?"

Liu Ju asked cautiously: "Father said that it doesn't matter how big it is, is it true?"

Liu Tan said: "It's possible, but it also depends on the amount of Xiji stone honey."

Liu Yi said: "There is no need to worry about this. If it is possible, let's do it like this. Each table has a separate candy statue, and then make a big candy statue for viewing, how about it?"

Liu Tan asked cautiously, "Then...how big is it?"

Liu Ju thought about it: "No matter how tall you have to be alone."

Liu Tan: ...

You and your father are exactly the same, and they will both cause me trouble.

But after he thought about it, this matter...is not causing trouble for him, it is causing trouble for the craftsman.

So he said decisively: "Then invite the prince to find someone to make such a model. The rules of the model are arbitrary. When the model is finished, I will let someone make a candy statue."

Liu Ju nodded: "It's not difficult, oh, by the way, my father also said that there is no shortage of wine..."

Liu Tan gasped: "Your Highness, this is really not allowed."

Liu Ju was surprised: "What?"

Liu Tan said earnestly: "Not to mention that the grapes are just seedlings now, and it is very difficult to flower and bear fruit within two months. Even if they can bear fruit, it will take a long time to make wine, and it will never catch up."

Liu Ju was at a loss: "Is that so?"

Liu Tanxin thought that he was really stupid to tell Liu these things, how could Liu Ju understand this?

So he had no choice but to say with a serious face: "It's really not possible!"

Unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, Liu Ju actually laughed, and said while laughing, "Okay, okay, if you can't do it, then you can't, don't be angry."

Liu Tan:? ? ? ?

Don't let me be angry, don't laugh so happily, you're going to laugh out loud, hey!

Thinking of this, Liu Tan's expression became more serious, and Liu Ju... really almost laughed out loud.

There's no way, I don't know why, when Liu Tan has a serious face, he finds it very cute.

After a long while, Liu Ju stopped laughing under Liu Tan's condemning eyes. He reached out and knocked on the table and said, "Well, in this case, can you let the grapes ripen?"

Liu Tan thought that Liu Ju hadn't given up yet, so he explained: "At most, the grapes will grow. If they are ripe...you may need some luck."

Liu Tan really didn't dare to talk too much, he could see that Liu Ju really deserved to be Liu Che's own son, he had big brains, so he couldn't talk too much to them, otherwise he would be the one who would be unlucky.

After hearing this, Liu Ju said, "That's fine too."

Liu Tan was a little confused: "What?"

Liu Ju smiled and said: "Didn't you say that you can make fruit wine? Then use fruit wine. Anyway, the wine in the Central Plains doesn't have to be the same as that in the Western Regions. If they don't believe it, just let them see the grapes?"

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ?

What a clever little ghost you are!

But I have to say that Liu Ju's method is also very good, at least it saved Liu Che's face, and it also blocked the mouths of people from the Western Regions.

Anyone who can be a prince has two brushes.

Liu Tan sighed and said, "That's fine, but if that's the case, I'm afraid I will live in Zhuangzi forever, and I won't be able to return until the grapes bear fruit."

Liu Ju comforted him and said, "There is me in the palace, so don't worry."

While comforting, Liu Ju said in his heart that you are almost laughing out loud, so what are you pretending for?

But I also felt that this younger brother was very interesting, so I followed him to act.

Of course, Liu Tan didn't make it too obvious. His face was indeed very helpless, but his eyes revealed a little bit of happiness, which was captured by Liu Ju keenly.

Of course Liu Tan is happy, how good it is to be in Zhuangzi, he is the sky and the earth, he can do whatever he wants, like a bird out of the cage, if he can, he really doesn't want to come back.

Liu Ju left after discussing with him, and Liu Tan happily said after he left, "Get ready, we will leave the palace tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered one thing - he will not come back for about two months after he left. Before Lu Xuan left, he promised Lu Xuan that he would play with Lu Xuan, but now he probably has no chance.

And now that he has a special mission, he can't let Lu Xuan go to Zhuangzi easily. After much deliberation, he simply wrote a letter to explain to Lu Xuan, and sent him a small jar of rock candy by the way.

After sending someone to deliver it, Liu Tan found that all the rock candy in his hand was gone.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan was also reasonable, saying that he was also very busy recently, and by the way, he also sent a small gold plate with engraved words on it, and the entire "Dongxiao Fu" was engraved on it.

Liu Tan was a bit dumbfounded, it seemed that except for meeting unexpectedly, every time Lu Xuan saw him or wrote a letter, he would give him something, and these things were usually quite expensive.

Liu Tan was under a lot of pressure. He felt that he had nothing to give away. Finally, after thinking about it, the only thing he could get out was wine, so he just gave Lu Xuan a few jars of good wine later.

After packing, Liu Tan left the next day, but this time, he left with a team of sergeants.

What he didn't expect was that the leader of the team was actually Li Buyan. When he saw him, Li Buyan saluted beamingly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

Liu Tan quickly helped him up and said, "Why are you here?"

Li Buyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to be your subordinate Cao Cao!"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, the official position of the thief under the door is the official position of the county, that is to say, he will have this position when he has a feudal state in the future, and the supervisor is the military guard of the princes and kings.

He thought to himself that it seemed that the Li family was completely tied to him, but he felt relieved.

This means that the sergeant who helped him guard the manor in the past also
