Ding Tian's Ancient Life

And eating this kind of Lantern Festival in winter will keep your hands and feet very warm, and Lantern Festival is not only boiled, but also fried Lantern Festival, steamed Lantern Festival and so on.

Ding Tian liked to eat the rose-flavored Lantern Festival, so Wang Zuo asked for a bowl of boiled Lantern Festival with roses and a plate of fried Lantern Festival with roses.

King Shen Jun also wanted a fried Lantern Festival with roses.

The maids and eunuchs who served all knew that King Shenjun had a bad temper, but he was better in the past. Since he was named King Shenjun, his temper became violent, and he was beaten up by His Royal Highness King Ning at the New Year's banquet.

After going back and thinking behind closed doors until now, who would dare to provoke him now?

Manager Mi Ying also said that the emperor wants to have a stable Shangyuan Festival and stop causing trouble.

Therefore, these waiters didn't dare to neglect him, it was just fried Lantern Festival, it didn't matter if one more plate was fried or less, as there was still some oil and water in the palace.

So Yuchu quickly made several plates of fried dumplings with roses. What if someone saw those two eating and wanted a plate?

The people in the imperial dining room have been organizing such palace banquets for many years. The arrangements are well arranged, and whatever you want can be delivered immediately.

Ding Tian's and King Shen's were delivered together. Ding Tian ate it at that time, and he was a little hungry. The rose fried Yuanxiao was also at a hot temperature, and the entrance was just right.

And what about Prince Shen?

He was a little smarter, because this time it was an internal palace banquet of the royal clan, and the people sitting around here were all members of the royal blood within the fifth service, so they could chat with people for a few words.

And this palace banquet is eaten in the palace, not outside. When the food is served, it is hot. There are many stews, stews, and steaming bowls, but there are few stir-fries. The imperial dining room brought it over. If it was a little cold, the taste would not be as good as when it was just out of the pot.

Therefore, there are few cooking dishes at the banquet in the palace.

But even so, these meals are very extravagant. No matter the ingredients or the method, they are not available outside. Ding Tian’s mouth is full of oil, and he thinks the taste is good. It’s not in vain that he didn’t eat at noon. Two meals... Uh, I'm hungry now, and everything tastes delicious.

The eldest prince chatted with people, and his attitude has improved a lot. They are all relatives, and the people in the royal family can't show a cold face to King Shen, can they?

It's probably because I haven't chatted with anyone like this for a long time, and the chat was so lively that I didn't notice that a waiter came over and changed the jug.

Chatting while pouring wine, because it is their own reunion banquet, there are no singing and dancing here, only the sound of silk and bamboo, playing "Qingpingle" and other auspicious movements.

It was quite a while when he remembered to eat rose fried Lantern Festival. Although the hall is very warm, it is not enough to keep warm. The fried food is cold, but in fact it can be eaten, but it is winter, After all, it is not as palatable as when it is hot.

King Shenjun was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. Although he has now recognized the facts and lowered his attitude, he was ignored by someone just now, and he has the atmosphere of being the first prince again. In addition, he drank some wine. The fried Lantern Festival was cold, and subconsciously got angry.

He directly turned his table over: What kind of Lantern Festival is this?Why is it cold? "

At the same time, with a sweep of his eyes, he saw a plate in front of Ding Tian, ​​which was the same as his plate of fried Lantern Festival.

They are all made of sweet white porcelain plates, and the fried dumplings are placed on them. Everything in the palace is small and exquisite. One plate sounds very generous, but in fact, there are six fried dumplings inside, and five of them are arranged in the shape of plum blossoms. , and put another one on top of the middle.

Surrounded by a circle of soft white sugar.

This kind of food can't be given to the nobles, because the polished rice itself is not easy to digest, and eating too much will make the stomach uncomfortable, so they only give a little. Looking at the beautifully arranged plates, there are really not many things.

Ding Tian ate up all the food on the top, and the soft white sugar was left over. He didn't like dipping it in sugar, and the filling itself was edible rose petals with honey, which was sweet, and eating it with white sugar was a bit panicky.

But Duke Shen didn't think so. During the Chinese New Year, he made a fuss once and was beaten up.

That must be a grudge!

Now Wang Zuo went out to pay respects, not by Ding Tian's side, Ding Tian was sitting there by himself, holding half a melon and nibbling carefully, this thing was cultivated in a greenhouse, not as sweet and delicious as summer melons, but the moisture was Enough, just eat a water spirit

Moreover, muskmelon is cold in nature, and it is a good food for Xie Shu in summer, but it is rare to eat in winter, so you should not eat more, so Wang Zuo only allowed him to eat half of it, and he ate the other half.

The others also had one for each person, and there were not many of these things cultivated in the palace, but Ding Tian remembered that he seemed to have someone send two big baskets of tribute to the emperor to congratulate the new year.

There are at least two hundred in each basket.

Just as he was concentrating on something, he mechanically gnawed on a cantaloupe in his mouth, and found that everyone was screaming, and just as he raised his head to take a look, a yellow figure embroidered with golden dragon patterns appeared in front of him, blocking out of his sight.

Isn't this the royal robe that Wang Zuo is wearing today?

Looking up, sure enough, I saw Wang Zuo's iconic crown.

Ordinary crowns are all made of red gold, with exquisite workmanship, and are inlaid with large pearls.

On top of Wang Zuo's crown is the crown of the side-by-side king inlaid with three large pearls, and his clothes are also very eye-catching.

"Why... er...!" Ding Tian was about to ask what happened, when Wang Zuo waved his sleeves, there was a sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, and someone screamed.

"Beating you on New Year's Eve, so fast, you will forget about it on the fifteenth day, right?" Wang Zuo's voice was cold and straight to the ground: "You still dare to do it now? Didn't you get beaten enough?"

Ding Tian blinked his eyes.

Wang Zuo kicked the man away with one kick.

Ding Tian took a look: "Prince Shen Jun?"

Why is it King Shen again?

Okay, His Royal Highness King Ning beat Shen Jun Wang up on New Year's Eve, and Fifteen kicked him away. What kind of rhythm is this?

The first thing Ding Tian looked at was Emperor Yongqing, and he found that Emperor Yongqing had a serious face and was very angry.

Could it be that he was angry with Wang Zuo?

That's right, someone's own son was beaten up twice within half a month, and he was beaten in front of his own face. Who wouldn't be angry?

So is Wang Zuo, what are you doing at this time?

"Okay!" Emperor Yongqing finally spoke: "Mi Ying, take King Shen down, you know what to do. "

"Old slave...obey the order." Chief Mi Ying was a little embarrassed, but he still asked someone to take away the King Shen who had been carried away a long way away, and carried him away on a stretcher "developed" by Ding Tian.

Ding Tian thought it was taken away to see the imperial physician.

Emperor Yongqing came over and walked up to Wang Zuo. Ding Tian was really afraid that he would raise his hand to beat Wang Zuo. Just as he was about to plead, Emperor Yongqing raised his hand... and dusted Wang Zuo with invisible dust: "You said Talk about you, why are you angry with him? He won’t hurt Lord Ding, didn’t you see Xiaomi standing there? Come back to eat, by the way, serve fruit, eat some of that melon, to clear the anger.”

"Don't let him get close to Tian'er next time." Wang Zuo said angrily, "If you hurt Tian'er, you know..."

"I know, hey, I thought he'd grown up, had a family, and became the king of the county, so what's not to like?" This time it was Emperor Yongqing's turn to be unhappy: "As long as he is like this, when he is A county king is reluctant, if it wasn't because he is the eldest son of my country, a duke would think highly of him."

Everyone's teeth were sour, how much do you hate the eldest son of the emperor?Even giving the title of a county king is too heavy, but want to give it to a country?

The monarch and his subjects returned to their seats.

The atmosphere is not very harmonious.

But it was also nearing the end of the banquet.

Ding Tian asked Wang Zuo stupidly: "What happened to him?"

??Master Ding, just now you ran over from Nashen County Dynasty, holding a meat-cutting knife in your hand... "Xiaomi was frightened stupid just now, he just raised his head when he saw this, just about to scream, His Highness King Ning came back, and then he saw King Shen being kicked away again.

This time even the murder weapon is in his hand, what is King Shen doing?

"I didn't even see it." Ding Tian hurriedly poured Wang Zuo a cup of hot milk, and don't drink tea at night, he won't be able to sleep after drinking tea.

"You just eat with your head down, how can you look up?" Wang Zuole said: "After eating for a while, I will go to the head to live and rest for a night. Tomorrow sixteen is the day to turn off the lights. On seventeen, It’s time to get ready.”

"I'll be on business when I'm sixteen." Ding Tian said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so go on business early."

He has nothing to do at home, and he has to receive groups of visiting people while staying at home, Ding Tian despises trouble.

To be honest, those people are clear about what they are here for. They want to get close to Wang Zuo, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, through him. They don't know who they are or what their purpose is. , and approached Wang Zuo, troubled Wang Zuo, and even plotted against Wang Zuo.

This place is an important place in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, he can't play with those fancy intestines in the feudal society.

"Okay, there's nothing to do anyway, go to work early, and let the emperor know your hard work." Wang Zuo didn't want Ding Tian to deal with those people either.

So after the two of them had their meal, they went to the head to rest.

He left the palace the next day, Ding Tian went home, changed his clothes, and then went back to the palace. He had to go to work.

The ten days from the 25th to the 30th day of the Lunar New Year are the public holidays of the imperial court. If the holidays start after the new year, the ancient Chinese New Year will add up to [-] days, and places outside Beijing may even have [-] days, okay? , this is really a big holiday.

The taste of the new year has not yet passed, Ding Tian thought that he came to the prison for work, just to check in, since there were no prisoners in the prison anyway.

But when he came, Meng Dali, who was on duty during the Chinese New Year, told him that a prisoner had been locked in.

"It's just after the Lantern Festival, and someone was locked in?" Ding Tian opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Who is it? So unlucky?"

This is a heavenly prison, not just any prison cell. To say something you don't like to hear, it is an honor for those who are imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

Of course, it may be a kind of misfortune for those who are locked in.

Generally, the people who can be detained in this place are either relatives of the emperor or princes and ministers. Officials below the third rank will not be able to come in if they want to come in, unless Emperor Yongqing grants mercy.

''It's the First Prince, eh? No? It's King Shenjun. Meng Dali told Ding Tian: "I'm locked in Cell No. [-]. If you didn't come, we

It's all by the rules. "

"Him?" Ding Tian didn't expect that the first person to be imprisoned was the King of Shenjun, the grand prince, a prince.

"It's Manager Mi Yingda, who personally escorted him here, and he won't accept it unless he signs for it." Meng Dali said, "Chen Debiao will come to take over in a while, and I will tell him that people will be locked up here. It will be different from the past."

"Okay, you guys have a handover." Ding Tian lifted up his robe sleeves: "I'll go and have a look."

After entering the gate, it was Eunuch Jin who greeted him.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Prince Shenjun has come in." Poor heavenly prison, Eunuch Jin is the chief eunuch here, and he is about to grow moldy in his leisure time.

It's good, it's exactly what Ding Tian said, the place for the elderly, but suddenly a prisoner came, and he was the king of Shenjun, so he was excited.

"Prince Shen Jun came in, so he was locked in, don't be so excited!" Ding Tian was afraid that he would be too happy, and then he had a cerebral hemorrhage: "It seems that you are always happy."

Eunuch Jin gritted his teeth: "I know, I know, but, do you want to send someone to serve King Shenjun? He is a prince after all.

"No, what are you supposed to do? He's here to go to jail, not to enjoy life? No one needs to serve him." Ding Tian flicked his sleeves: "I won't do anything special for him."
