The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

On May [-]th, the dragon ascends to heaven.

Half a month before this, there have been successive convoys entering Chang'an.

Most of these convoys used cattle as their load capacity, and then consigned a long car body made of several wooden boards. The things on the car were covered with red cloth, and there were many people in Chang'an City watching the excitement.

These people are teams from all over the country to participate in the competition.

what match?Hey, do you still need to ask, of course it is a dragon boat race!

The dragon boat race was originally a traditional sacrificial ceremony in the south, and later it became more or less competitive, but in the end it is still a small sport for the county and township to entertain themselves.But a few years ago, after Zhongshan State opened an invitational tournament, this competition in the land of Wu and Chu immediately became popular throughout the north.

Especially among the girls, it is very popular.

If we talk about the reason... just look at the players from all over the world who came to participate in the competition.

The nature of this competition is actually a self-entertainment between His Majesty and brothers and uncles from all over the world. All the bureaucrats from various counties will be sent to the field. Of course, Erqianshi will also play.

To put it simply, it was really a game of wealth and handsomeness.

Dragon boat racing is a light-weight competition event. Compared with other competitions that require high physical strength, dragon boat racing itself relies more on personal experience and team cooperation.

Therefore, the age span of the contestants is relatively large. There are young men who are the most capable, and there are also mature men with elegant faces.

Moreover, the dragon boat race must go into the water. Naturally, if you go into the water, you don’t wear much. When the time comes, the sweat and lake water will wet the clothes again, showing your figure, and the charm of the man will explode.

Men and women in the Western Han Dynasty did not have a deep defense, watching a group of men sweating and showing their muscle lines.The little ladies on the bank were naturally very excited. Anyway, one of the flower embroidery purses was so excited that they threw everything down their heads, and some of them threw themselves down. For this reason, salvage boats were forced to be arranged along the river bank, mainly responsible for catching people.

The venue for the competition is Kunming Pool in the western suburbs of Chang’an. This is an artificial lake with slow and flat water flow. It was originally used by Liu Che to practice sailors, but after the surrender of South Vietnam, this place was left unused. It is only used for the royal family to enjoy the scenery on weekdays. .

It's a pity that Liu Che's family is very busy, and a trip to the lake is quite motivating, so Kunming Lake has been idle for a long time.

But later his brother criticized him, saying that he was a waste of resources, so Liu Xiaozhu designated an area for the workshop to build boats, and another area was planted with lotus flowers for the public, and arranged large boats for people to pay. Enjoy the scenery, and then sell some snacks and other things part-time.

The dragon boat race this time is also to promote the Kunming Lake scenic spot. After all, it is still too far away from Chang'an City, and Chang'an itself does not lack waterways, so there are still a few people who are willing to travel all the way to visit the lake.

Liu Che wanted to find a way to earn back the maintenance cost of this area, and if possible, he wanted to earn back the money from digging the pond, so Liu Dazhu went to find his brother who was very profitable.

Brother did not live up to his expectations at all. The dragon boat race was new and fun. Immediately, Liu Che drew up an area that could accommodate audiences from both sides of the strait and started to decorate it.

Why both sides...

Because all the female relatives in his family strongly demand that men and women should be separated.

Liu Che looked at these family members of different ages in bewilderment, expressing his incomprehension.His sturdy cousin wrinkled her nose, and when she saw her younger brother's shameless expression of "I won't do it if you don't tell me", she quietly listened to her.

Why do they need to be separated? Do you still have to ask?If you stand next to your son and husband, how can you scream for Xiao Xianrou?It is also very disappointing to maintain the image on this occasion.

Liu Che was shocked.

——You think so too?

Liu Che immediately looked at his gentle and generous daughter-in-law, the queen smiled and slowly turned his gaze away.

Good, very good!

Liu Che squeezed his fists, looked at the female family members in front of him again, and finally waved his hands while pinching his nose, agreeing.

After the ship arrives at Kunming Lake, it will take some time to repair it. After all, it is transported by land for a long distance, and accidents will inevitably occur due to vibrations and bumps along the way.

But there are always some people who don't take the usual way...

For example, the dragon boats of Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom came here by boat.

The three rich and powerful vassal states built a large ship capable of putting the dragon boat on the deck, and then transported the dragon boat to Chang'an through water and land combined transport all the way through the Yellow River waterway.Of course, after arriving in Chang'an, there is still a long way to go by land, and many people just sit and wait to see how the people from Zhongshan Kingdom can move the boat down.

A folk dragon boat generally doesn't weigh much, but the situation of dragon boats in feudal states is different. Sports competitions are wars in peacetime.Moreover, the dragon boats are not disposable. Almost every dragon boat can be regarded as a work of art when it is placed there. The dragon head and tail are all carefully carved, and they are all made of solid wood.

Let’s not talk about whether it’s good or not, the key is to be handsome!

So this also caused the weight of this dragon boat that can accommodate 20 people to basically reach two tons.Previously, the vassal kingdoms basically used rolling logs to pull the boats onto the carts, but the problem was that the Zhongshan Kingdom wanted to unload the cargo from the boats, which was not a small project.

What's more, the clever feet are already waiting on the sidelines, waiting for the boatmen from Zhongshan to negotiate the price with them.

Unexpectedly, the people of Zhongshan Kingdom didn't look for anyone after they disembarked, but started beating on the spot, completely ignoring the three dragon boats on board.

The people who eat melons are so inexplicably watching these people build a high platform in one day - what is that for?

The role of the high platform will soon be revealed.After four or five days, when the cement was almost dry, the craftsmen raised the command flag, and the onlookers watched in shock as the boatman from Zhongshan country connected the few lines hanging from the frame to the wooden planks below the ship. , Then, and then the boat is lifted! !

Yaoshou!Lift it up!I can still move!

It only took half a day from the first dragon boat being "lifted" to the last dragon boat being put on the bullock cart.During this period, the boatmen in Zhongshan didn't even break a sweat. They only hired a few strong porters to help turn the wheels. Generally speaking, the psychological pressure was greater than the physical exertion.

After distributing a few small red envelopes, several Zhongshan people wanted to leave, but they were stopped after walking a few steps.A nobleman who had been on the sidelines for a long time came and asked politely: "How many people dare to ask, this device...may be installed in other places? What is the cost?"

Several Mohists from Zhongshan Kingdom looked at each other and smiled.

The fact that people from Zhongshan Kingdom started doing business as soon as they arrived in Chang'an soon spread to Weiyang Palace. Liu Che just slightly curled his lips when he saw the report, "It's okay, brother has already told me about this."

Even though he has been enthroned for many years, Liu Che still calls his elder brother "brother" instead of "brother", as if their brotherhood would not change as long as they are called like this.

My elder brother had told him before that a light crane came out of Zhongshan, which was not powerful enough to carry the load, but the advantage was that it was easy to assemble and disassemble, it could be used almost everywhere, and it was more effective in civilian use.

Of course, he thinks the most useful place is still on the construction site.

Liu Che had reason to suspect that this time his brother brought three dragon boats here with great fanfare, one was to show off their big boat, and the other was just for the crane.

but……

Ahem, because when Liu Che was still Xiaodouding, he joined the princely logistics chain, which had not many people at that time and was pitifully small.It seems that this large cargo ship is for the promotion of water transportation... As a person who actually doesn't care about anything and gets a dividend for nothing, Liu Che must also do a proper favor for his pocket money.

Liu Che was going to act as if he didn't know his brother's little thoughts.

In order to receive the princes from all over the world and large-scale outdoor activities, Chang'an City was so busy that it hit the back of its head.As the person in charge of finalizing the plan, Liu Che didn't feel much relaxed. He didn't even have time to talk to his brothers who had already arrived in the capital, so he could only send the eldest son of the emperor to contact him.

The eldest son of the emperor was only six years old this year, but he was brought up very well by his mother. He bowed respectfully to his father and promised, and immediately let go of his feet when he left the palace gate.Xiao Douding and Liu Che looked very similar when they were young, but their facial features are softer, they look soft, and they love to laugh.

"Quick, let's go to Zhongshan King's Mansion first!" Liu Ju rushed out of the palace at an extremely fast pace that no one else could say was rude.

The emperor is here!

My favorite Nine Emperors is here!

The little prince was sitting in the car trying to stay calm, but his heart was not calm at all, his little fists were clenched tightly due to excitement.Then when he got out of the car, he was picked up by Xia Anran who was waiting below and held him high.

"Uncle Huang!" Liu Ju hugged Xia Anran's neck and dawdled for a while, his eyes narrowed as he laughed.

While being sticky, he felt something touch his back, and when he turned around, he saw a huge swan standing behind.Liu Ju immediately screamed, and then waved his little hands to get down.

After Xia Anran put him down, Little Douding immediately stuck to Duoduo's back. Even though he gained the weight of a child, Duoduo still remained motionless. It even took its small black mouth and shaved the eldest son's hair intimately.

Xia Anran let the two little ones enter the room, and then took out a bunch of gifts.

The little mouth of the eldest son of the emperor was quickly filled with fruit candies from Zhongshan.Seeing that the time is right, Xia Anran narrowed her eyes and approached, and said in a very gentle tone: "Ji'er, who is your father going to send on board this time?"

That's right, he was just playing tricks on his little nephew, especially shameless.

Liu Ju shook his head when he heard the words, and said vaguely: "I don't know, the father didn't tell him this time."

Xia Anran smacked her lips lightly, threw a piece of candy into her mouth, and narrowed her round eyes slightly.

He is now at the best age for a man, and he has been in a high position for many years, so he will inevitably carry the aura of a high-ranking person around him, which is very capable of bluffing people.But now, a random movement shattered this aura, and he instantly turned into a naive elder brother who would care about each other with his younger brother.

The little king went around a few times and tried again, and finally confirmed that the little nephew really didn't know, and then he concluded that his brother had turned bad, and he actually played tricks with his brother!

Afterwards, Xia Anran took the small oil bottle and went around various mansions, begging for a bunch of meeting gifts for the little nephew, and finally sent the nephew who could no longer hold her hands in the carriage back to the palace.

After the death of Emperor Jing, Mrs. Jia was promoted to Queen Mother and released to the State of Zhao, so Xia Anran really didn't have anyone to visit in this capital city.

He doesn't visit other people, but many people come here just because of his name.The younger generation of Dahan is basically familiar with him, and many of them are from Zhongshan National University.

Although His Highness Liu Sheng also said that he does not need their thanks, it is better to do something for the country instead of thanking him. Most of the turning points in life are due to the education system of Zhongshan Kingdom. The experience and experience of living in Zhongshan Kingdom in their youth also played a big role in their later officialdom.

Apart from other things, bowing to thank you is absolutely indispensable.

In addition to the students rushing over, there were also many merchants who came to visit, and the little king recommended them to the Shaofu.Of course, there are some who he can't reject, such as Chen Jiaojiao.

Sister Jiaojiao is now the Dahan's diplomat and director of the Education Bureau. She is clear-headed, sharp-tongued, and beautiful. She is still a cousin today, and she speaks very powerfully.

She once went west into the desert with a festival, and communicated with Cheqian, Wusun, Yuezhi and other countries, adding a lot of weight to the tilt of the war between Han and Hungarians.But shortly after she came back that time, she had to give up her trip to Baiyue south because of her pregnancy reaction.Even so, she wasn't idle.The Lord Weng opened an Enlightenment School in Chang'an City to enlighten children for free.

If those foreigners who had been pointed at their necks with blood-stained knives by Jiao Wengzhu would definitely shout "You who is it".

And now, the purpose of the Jiaojiao Lord's coming to find Xia Anran is - her baby is too annoying and smart, and the mother-in-law can't take care of her at all, so can my cousin help me raise a baby?

Xia Anran was stunned, "What about you?"

"Me?" Lord Jiao Weng gently stroked her temples, and said, "I didn't make it to Nanyue last time... I still want to go and see."

Xia Anran looked at her speechlessly, is this the reason why you abandoned your husband and son?

Chen Jiao blinked, innocently said that she did not leave her husband, and Zhang Tang wanted to go with her.

As a result, Xia Anran became even more upset.He also wants to travel with his lover at public expense, but his identity is destined not to travel casually, and it is difficult for Dou Wan to wander around with his current identity, the couple can only stay at home.

Seeing her cousin's expression of wanting to refuse, Chen Jiao asked someone to move her son here without saying a word, and then put the little boy down to show her cousin how fun her baby was.

Children at this age are really fun, just like a little turtle. Chen Jiao's son is stubborn, doesn't like to cry, and is cute. After saying, "Brother, bring it to me, I'll bring you a gift from Lingnan, and I'll bring you whatever you want", he nodded immediately.

"I want to eat lychees." The little king smiled kindly.

Chen Jiao: ...

Chen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, "Deal."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun was covered by flags, and the emperor personally offered a cup of liquor to the water and a pillar of fragrance to the sky.Behind the altar, there are several medicine bags wrapped with orchid grass, which will be distributed by the officials to the people who participated in the event later, so that they can bathe and drive away diseases, which can be regarded as the joy of the emperor and the people.

After the short sacrificial activity, it was the big head dragon boat race.

The participating lineups of the feudal states were finally exposed, and when the team from Chang'an City was exposed, the feudal states from all over the world scolded this man as despicable.

reason?Liu Che dispatched a group of young generals, all of whom have broad shoulders, long legs and long mermaid lines, and their careers have grown handsomely.That group of people standing in a row like this is not to mention how eye-catching it is.

Xia Anran silently glanced at the "Dream Team" standing in front of the emperor, and then glanced at Liu Che's efforts to hold back, so as not to grin from ear to ear, and let out a light snort.

He felt that his younger brother must have tasted the feeling of a five-star card when playing tower games.Take a look at the lineup, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who were born as civilians, Han Yan and Zhang Qian who were born as officials, and several officials, second-generation officials and third-generation Hou who Xia Anran may not recognize by name.

This group of people stood out, they wanted good looks, talents and abilities, and how popular they were, you could tell by hearing the screams of the female relatives on the other side of the river.

Since Liu Che succeeded to the throne, he has waged several wars, with more victories and fewer losses. The domestic spirit of martial arts is very strong. A few young people are regular visitors in other people's dreams. Now standing here is like a nuclear explosion. home field advantage.

You didn't do that!How despicable!

The eyes of the brothers looking at the throne are very complicated. What about the family relationship that was agreed to be the first and the competition the second?Why did you use such a group of people as soon as you played?

Who doesn't know that there are several powerful characters there?How to play this?

Liu Che silently looked away, not meeting the eyes of his brothers.So what, he just hates losing, and besides, he didn't send all of them, didn't he keep a few?It's better brother, brother didn't even look at him, but was... huh?

Liu Che squinted his eyes and looked at the young people led by Zhongshan Kingdom.

He doesn't seem to know any of these people, he only knows one leader, Dou Wan and Cheng Wu, who are the others?Young people from Zhongshan?And why are the clothes they wear so... Tsk, they are so beautiful.

Xia Anran is making the final explanation to the players who are about to play.Liu Dazhu made a fatal mistake. He thought that dragon boats could be done by putting the strongest on a boat, which would not work even on a tug-of-war, let alone a dragon boat.

As soon as he saw such a lineup, the bad-hearted little king knew that something would happen to them.

There is a saying in dragon boat racing that "ten strong men may not be able to paddle ten weak women". The paddling mainly depends on the strength of the waist and abdomen and the tacit understanding. The forces on the left and right sides should also be basically balanced. There are certain requirements, if the control is not good, it is possible to turn around in circles.

Rather...

Xia Anran pushed the non-existent glasses. Most of the people on this ship had just returned to China not long ago. He didn't believe that they had enough training time.

Even if they have trained well, he is not afraid, they still have a secret weapon!

He gave a few more instructions, and then encouraged the contestants one by one, but when he reached the last one, he didn't say anything.

Ahem, the last one belongs to his family.

Xia Anran looked into Dou Wan's eyes, and the two smiled tacitly.

Finally, Xia Anran said softly: "Go, come on."

"I know." Dou Wan nodded, his eyes swept over the formally dressed little highness little by little, the eyes were so sticky that Xia Anran wanted to kick him.

But after the person went down, Xia Anran was also a little dazed looking at the person's back, and suddenly, suddenly wanted to call him back.

But it was too late, the contestants descended from the highlands on both sides of Kunming Pool, and boarded the boat when they arrived at the water's edge. According to the lottery, the Zhongshan country's track was closer to the women's side, and when their boats were pulled past, they immediately attracted girls. There was a burst of exclamation.

Xia Anran leaned towards a person, and he turned his head to see that it was his fourteenth brother Liu Shun.

Liu Shun was the last son of Emperor Jing, and he was favored since he was a child.But even if he was favored, as a precaution, Emperor Jing was crowned king when he was seven years old and nine years old and drove people to the fief Changshan.

Changshan is very close to Zhongshan Kingdom, Xia Anran took good care of this younger brother when he was a young boy, so the relationship between the two is also very good.

Now Liu Shun came here just to ask a question that everyone wants to know, "Brother, what's the matter with the clothes? It looks...a bit..."

"Does it look good?" Xia Anran narrowed her eyes very proudly.In order to facilitate exercise, the sportswear in Zhongshan has been improved. The material is relatively light and thin, and it is not easy to stick to the body after entering the water.

This was researched by Wei Ru, and it uses specially treated mulberry silk, which is more elastic than ordinary clothes and is not easy to tear.Of course, it is still not as good as chemical fiber.

Xia Anran didn't know what black technology was involved in it. After a belt was tied around the waist to fix the trousers, a few young people looked particularly slim waisted, legs long and shoulders wide after wearing them, and the female relatives almost saw them in place The Zhongshan Dragon Boat burst into screams in an instant.

There are two souls on the dragon boat, one is the drummer and the other is the helmsman.

The former controls the rhythm of the entire ship, while the latter stabilizes the direction of the ship and intervenes when there is uneven power from left to right.Although it seems that there is no effort for the paddlers, in fact, the physical exertion is quite a lot for half a day.

The drummer of Zhongshan Kingdom is Cheng Wu, and the helmsman is Dou Wan. The unusual positions of these two people immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding players, especially after noticing that there was actually a leather drum on the dragon boat of Zhongshan Kingdom.

In theory, dragon boat racing has no restrictions on what can be carried on board. After all, if you want to increase speed, you must reduce weight.As for the drums... what is this for?There can only be 22 people on a boat, why should Zhongshan waste two places to sit in the front and back?

It wasn't just the dragon boat contestants next door who noticed this problem, but almost all the feudal lords on the viewing platform. With their understanding of Xia Anran, they naturally wouldn't naively think that it was for good looks, or King Zhongshan found an easy job for his family.

He didn't hesitate to come over to inquire now, how could Xia Anran tell them?In order to win the lottery of this competition, he even put his wife on it, the price is huge!

Things really happened as they expected. As soon as the horn sounded, the dense drumbeats on the Zhongshan Dragon Boat came out. After watching the movements of the oarsmen, a few smart people immediately knew that the drummers were used to control the rhythm. They all sighed and said: Shameless!

Then they woke up suddenly, by the way, wasn't the one on the throne brought out by this one?No wonder the heart is dark.

The little king squinted his eyes and looked at the water. At the beginning, the advantages of Zhongshan and other dragon boats were not obvious, because they had fewer paddlers than others, and they were a little behind. The advantages of dragon boats come up.

Coupled with Dou Wan who seems to be standing at the stern relaxed and leisurely, but has been adjusting the rudder according to the tilt angle of the dragon boat. Therefore, although the boat of Zhongshan Kingdom is not the fastest, it has always been the most stable.

The fastest is the Chang'an... Although a group of young generals did have problems with tacit understanding, they couldn't bear their strength. The little girls on the river bank were very excited when they saw the faces of this group of men covered with moisture and sweat. All of them screamed until their voices became hoarse.

But such noise is not good for them.

Xia Anran guessed right, these group of youths did not have a tacit understanding with each other, but most of them have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, of course they also know the disadvantages, so it was agreed in advance that Wei Qing would shout slogans.

However, the voices of the girls are too loud, and the drums of Zhongshan Kingdom are too motivating. These have greatly affected the effect of their acceptance of instructions and implementation. It is not easy to get back the rhythm once it is out of order.

Although these young generals looked down on the horse, they were just a group of newcomers on the ship.

But when the two boats passed by, Cheng Wu, who was beating the drum, suddenly stopped. He looked sideways at these young people and showed a "kind" smile.

How should I put it, that smile has some subtle taste.

He shouted from a distance, "Boys, you can't do this. His Majesty gave you this chance just to let you find a wife. If you are a real man, you should wear less clothes."

"Senior was joking," Wei Qing smiled, "Aren't seniors dressed too much?"

"Us? We are different."

Cheng Wu imitated His Highness and pushed the bridge of his nose (although he didn't understand what it meant, he found it inexplicably irritating), "We are all family members here."

"Didn't you realize that you are all unmarried in this boat? In fact, your Highness just hopes that you can attract more attention from your noble daughter!"

A man on the Zhongshan ship was laughing and joking while paddling, "Everyone, you are rowing so fast, but you have failed His Majesty's painstaking efforts!"

There was silence on board the Chang'an, even though everyone's movements didn't stop at this moment, their minds were in chaos and they couldn't be at peace for a while.Wei Qing yelled inwardly that it was not good, but before he could say anything, the noise next door began to disturb the people again.

At the same time, a group of young people on the Chang'an couldn't help turning their eyes to the girls on the shore with exquisite and beautiful makeup.

"You have to watch it!" Huo Qubing frowned and scolded, "Are you all stupid? This is obviously a distraction strategy of Zhongshan Kingdom. Even if you want to attract the girl's attention, won't it be more effective to get the first place?" ?”

Oh yes!

Everyone was stunned, but it was too late to catch up now.

Although there were many of them, their hearts were scattered and their rhythm was chaotic, and the boats of Zhongshan Kingdom in front got stuck in front of them intentionally or unintentionally, and the breaking water affected their boats in waves.The Chang'an was already a little unstable, and it was even more difficult to adjust due to such an impact, and it was finally unable to recover.

When they went ashore, several young generals were a little unconvinced, feeling that they had been calculated.Wei Qing shook his head helplessly, "Strategy, strategy, and preparation, we all lost."

He cupped his fists at Cheng Wu who was going ashore, "This time Qing has been taught."

It was not a formal occasion at this time, and there were no officials around, so everyone spoke more casually.Although Wei Qing was defeated, he also consciously learned a lot, and he was not discouraged, on the contrary, he was extremely free and easy.

"Ah Qing." Cheng Wu hooked Wei Qing's shoulders, and he pointed secretly at someone who was the last person to go ashore, "Your Brother Wan asked me to say those words just now, you don't Wrong person."

"Qing knows." Wei Qing smiled slightly, "Brother Wu never planned anything like this."

"Hiss... I always feel that I am a little uncomfortable when I say this. Forget it, brother is happy today, so I don't care about you." Cheng Wu saw an acquaintance landing ashore at a glance, and immediately ran to make fun of it.

Wei Qing watched this person wandering through the crowd to fan the flames one by one, and suddenly felt a little helpless in his heart.But I haven't seen him since I was two years old, why does Brother Wu's personality seem to have changed... so childish?Is this the change after getting married?

At this time, Dou Wan also came up, Wei Qing walked over with a smile, "Brother Wan."

"Ah Qing." Dou Wan gently brushed off the moisture on the clothes as he approached.The man has exquisite eyebrows and a slightly cold aura, but at the moment he looks up at Wei Qing with a gentle expression.He approached slowly, but when he was approaching, he suddenly raised his hand to block the lateral assault with his arm.

"Qubing." Wei Qing sighed, and called out with some helplessness, then he cupped his fists at Dou Wan, "Qubing is nothing, please forgive him, Brother Wan."

Huo Qubing withdrew his tentative hand, patted his uncle's arm and said, "Brother Wan won't care about this!" Then, he looked at Dou Wan with sparkling eyes, "Let's compete again this time. , I have already figured out how to deal with your last situation."

Dou Wan nodded and agreed, "Wan will take care of me."

"Ah Wan." Zhang Qian also came closer, and he patted Dou Wan's shoulder with a very intimate gesture, "King Zhongshan is working so hard this time, is it because he is interested in His Majesty's prize?"

"That's right, what request will the King of Zhongshan make to His Majesty?" Han Yan also came over with a look of excitement, "We originally agreed that if we win, we will ask His Majesty to make an appointment for his Dawan BMW to give birth." son of a bitch. It's a waste now!"

Dou Wan was questioned repeatedly by the curious young man, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his lips.

"Your Highness..."

"Ah, brother, what did you say?" The young emperor who came to the throne hadn't shown such obvious shock for a long time, and he asked his brother to repeat what he had just said with a dumbfounded expression.

Xia Anran squinted his eyes, and he patted the pot he brought over, "My request is to invite Your Majesty and you all to taste the salty rice dumplings from Zhongshan Kingdom."

Resisting the expressions of these people, "How can rice dumplings be salty!", he said firmly: "These rice dumplings are made of salted duck eggs from Baiyangdian and pork meat from my Zhongshan country. They are called egg yolk meat dumplings."

“Salty, fragrant, oily and filling, very delicious!”

Liu Che looked at his elder brother speechlessly, and then at the zongzi basket he had prepared for a long time. The young emperor endured it, and in the end he couldn't hold back and silently held his forehead.

The things in his brother's mind are really strange. Sometimes he really wants to get into his brother's mind to see what's inside!

All in all.

He waved his hand and signaled the servants to take the rice dumplings and distribute them. Everyone looked disgusted and cautiously peeled off the rice dumplings, and then Liu Che took the lead in biting off the rice dumplings.

……what?

Liu Che looked surprised, it was actually quite delicious?

Xia Anran had a happy face, let me just say, how can there be people in this world who don't like to eat salty rice dumplings?The salty rice dumplings are so delicious.
