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

In the end, Liu Fa's actions were suppressed by the brothers who came after smelling the fragrance.Everyone said that they are now interested in the contents of the pot. Since the inside of the pot is smelly, please take it away quickly, and put it far away so as not to offend your appetite.

Under the repeated urging of her brothers, Xia Anran had no choice but to share the food.

Everyone in the room had an egg for each person. The dried tofu was not enough to eat, and each person could only eat half a piece. The princes present secretly ate it with a tacit understanding. No one told the other brothers who were not here, which was very disrespectful.

While waiting for his brother to shell him, Liu Zhi suddenly asked: "Brother, why do you have to break the egg first?"

While peeling the shells, Xia Anran watched vigilantly at the brothers who seemed to want to grab the eggs, so she answered a little carelessly, "For the taste."

"Then..." Why did the hundred thousand people tilt their heads, "Then why don't you just peel off the shell and put it in the pot?"

The little king said very bluntly: "It won't look good if you peel it all off!"

As he spoke, he put an egg with high-grade ice cracks in his hand into Liu Xiaozhu's bowl. Liu Zhi looked down at the white-brown egg in the bowl with pieces of grain on it, and checked that it hadn't been peeled off. The previous egg, picked up and bit down, with a particularly deep expression.

Is it such a simple reason...

Liu Xiaozhu, who was taught by his brother that he had to do a case study on everything he saw, felt a little empty in his heart, and he was going to ask his father this question at that time.

Father will definitely think too much!

As soon as the marinated eggs are in the mouth, a light and dense marinated fragrance is entwined on the egg white. The compound taste formed by the fusion of various spices makes people unable to taste the ingredients in it.

The most wonderful thing is that the thick sauce will hang on the egg shell, and if you touch it with your fingers, your fingers will immediately be stained with a layer of thick fragrance.

This taste is more attractive than the egg itself!I really want to lick it... But, but it seems a bit embarrassing...

While the other princes were still struggling with the question of whether to lick or not, Liu Zhi, who didn't have this worry, had already bit down on it.Liu Zhi has a small mouth and is still trying to chew egg whites. The other boy has a big mouth and bit off half of it in one bite. The yellow egg yolk is also stained with a layer of brown at this time, except that the center is still tender. yellow.

At this time, the temperature has not yet cooled completely, and the entrance of the egg yolk quickly melts into sand, filling the entire mouth with the temperature and strong aroma.

Extremely rude and unreasonable.

Xia Anran turned her head to look at the egg in Dou Wan's hand, and commented: "It's too early to eat, it should be left to cool before soaking for a while, it will be more delicious."

The big brothers of the Liu family exchanged glances with each other.

The little king’s pot of eggs brought him several big orders. When the elder brothers reservedly said that although they didn’t actually get the “soy sauce” from the younger brother’s mouth, they had confidence in him and wanted to support his business. .

The little king squinted at the older brothers who had misspoken and tried to catch another egg, quickly held the pot, and let the younger brother run away with the stove.

This low-end version of the five-spice tea egg has no tea leaves, and it is a snack for tomorrow's spring outing.

Tomorrow, the royal family of the Han Dynasty will carry out the last activity of the feudal dynasty - hunting in Shanglinyuan.When this activity is over, everyone can go back to their respective homes.

Hunting in Shanglin Garden itself is a normal social activity. To put it bluntly, the emperor is pleased to show you his beautiful gardens. However, because of the tense relationship between the emperor and the princes and kings, hunting has a political meaning.

Although Emperor Jing's poor health was concealed in every possible way, there were many spies in the court, and family thieves were the most difficult to guard against. Naturally, news would inevitably leak out. This hunting was also to prove that Emperor Jing was in good health.

The focus is all on the emperor and the vassals. For little princes like Xia Anran... it's really a spring outing.

In many dynasties in later generations, spring was a time of rest for hunting, because spring is the season when small animals fall in love, and now it is not conducive to the reproduction of animals, but this is the later generation when the city is surrounded by woods.

But now, it is still an era when ferocious beasts roam everywhere and there are more jackals than dogs.

This can be seen from the fact that the king and his party were attacked by wild boars on the road outside the capital since childhood.

Not to mention that spring and autumn hunting is prohibited in this era, the government also encourages capable hunters to hunt in the mountains all year round.If there are strong men who are particularly good at hunting, they can also use this to enter the civil service establishment. Ordinary hunters can also go to the government to collect money based on the corpses of livestock. The rewards are very considerable.

Therefore, being a hunter is very popular. Even Dou Ying and Li Guang once had the experience of going up the mountain to catch a beast in exchange for wine after being dismissed.

Moreover, the beasts in spring are the most ferocious in all seasons of the year, and the food is the least in spring. They have to pack up a carload of dowry gifts in an era of scarcity, and they will be irritable to everyone.But the Han people like to play physical collisions with others at this time, confronting each other, and whoever coaxes whoever makes food.

In short, anything can happen to a tough guy.

But despite this, it has nothing to do with the little princes who can only pull one stone or two stone bows.According to their strength, that is, they can shoot hares, squirrels and birds. It is impossible to expect them to hunt.

For the women in the harem, spring hunting is also a travel activity, and the princesses and ladies in the Tiangong will also go out to play with them.So Xia Anran made preparations early in the morning, when the time came, he and Liu Xiaozhu would show up to make a show, and then they would go to the old lady's side.

It's not that he's afraid of hunting or something, but... Cough, the story of the three little princes hunting wild boars before entering Chang'an City has spread, and Xia Anran even got a piano from his old father. In short, recently He shouldn't be too loud.

If you want to show off during this hunt, let your brothers go!

Even so, Xia Anran is going to release Cheng Wu, Dou Wan and others around him when the time comes. This kind of hunting activity is also a good opportunity to show himself. This opportunity is also a very good choice to show your face in front of the emperor.If Liu Qi decided to use young people, it would be an opportunity.

As a spring outing, it is most convenient to carry it with you. Delicious and filling tea eggs are the most convenient. When Xia Anran was a child, this, together with square meat and ham, was called the three treasures for children’s spring outing. The specific one to take depends on which one the parents at home have time to serve. .

But now the locusts wiped out the only treasure, and Xia Anran, who originally wanted to do an advertisement, never expected that her brothers would be so cruel.

Xia Anran counted the number of eggs remaining in the juice, and felt that it was not enough, so she asked the craftsman to cook some more eggs with this base material.

Anyway, the more the spices are boiled, the more fragrant they become. Except that there is no soy sauce or sauce, so the color is a bit lighter, but the taste should not be much different.

Xia Anran has always been an animal with a sense of smell, taste...he is actually not very sensitive, cough.

However, although he wanted to keep a low-key plan, he was completely bankrupted by the approach of a shining creature.

The surname of this shining creature is Chen Mingjiao.

Her father is Chen Wu, Marquis of Tangyi, and her mother is Princess Dou. She can be said to be born with gold and jade, plus the fact that the eldest princess did not give birth again, Chen Jiao naturally became her only jewel in the palm of her hand.

Liu Qi and the old lady Dou also doted on her very much. It can be said that the real princess who will soon be in the palace will be courteous when seeing her.

Chen Jiao came with her parents today.With Empress Dowager Dou not around, the Eldest Princess could have her own time. As soon as she got here, she mounted her horse and whipped her whip, leaving her son and daughter to Chen Wu who was one step behind.

Chen Wu also wants to hunt with the emperor, he can take his son with him, but not the girl who is like a flower.So, dumbfounded, he entrusted his daughter to King Zhongshan who happened to be passing by, and asked King Zhongshan to send his daughter to the place where the concubines were, and ask the concubines there to take care of them.

Although their identities are different, in fact Chen Wu is Xia Anran's uncle, and Chen Jiao is also his aunt, so it's okay to ask.Xia Anran responded with a good temper.

Originally, he was also going in that direction. Although the Queen Mother Dou did not come, his plan was slightly changed, but he could still go to find his mother.

But Miss Chen Jiaoxiao was obedient and clever in front of her father. As soon as Chen Wu walked away, she immediately showed a strange side. She first introduced herself to Xia Anran seriously, and then asked very seriously: "Grandmother said that Jiaojiao's doll was given by cousin Sheng, isn't it?"

"That's right." Xia Anran had to bring two babies to ride a horse, so he had Liu Xiaoyu in his left hand and Chen Ajiao in his right. He walked towards the camp and answered the little girl's question, "Does Jiaojiao like dolls?"

"I like it!" The little girl nodded seriously, "Jiaojiao makes the doll sleep with Jiaojiao every day."

Uh... the little king thought about the hardness of the doll, then looked at the small figure of Jiaojiao girl, and carefully asked, "Where does the doll sleep?"

"Grandmother made a small bed for the doll." Chen Jiao replied in a good mood, "Brother, Aunt said you still have a lot of dolls over there, and if Jiaojiao is obedient, she can go to see the dolls, yes ?"

Obviously, Ms. Liu Xing used her nephew as a shield to coax her daughter.After all, the little king was far away in the sky at that time, and his daughter couldn't go to ask for proof, so Liu Xing had no pressure to make up nonsense.

Chen Jiao reckoned that she had been fooled by her own mother a lot this year, and Liu Xing just said that casually and left it behind. She never thought that her daughter would expose this matter one day, so she never thought that she would have to talk to her first. Nephew unified caliber.

Xia Anran was also taken aback, but he quickly nodded and said, "Has Jiaojiao been obedient recently?"

Chen Ajiao sighed, and said melancholy: "Jiaojiao feels that she is already very obedient, but adults are always angry in some strange places, so Jiaojiao doesn't know if she is obedient."

Her words immediately resonated with Liu Xiaozhu, and Liu Zhi also sighed: "Yes, adults are really too difficult to understand."

As a member of the adults, Xia Anran, who was definitely targeted by Liu Zhi, had ellipses on her head.

No, I think you Douding family are the most difficult to understand.

----------------

The two children seemed to realize each other's existence at this moment. On the way back to the camp, the two quickly chatted warmly through Xia Anran.

The place where Xia Anran picked up Chen Jiao was not far from the camp where the girls stayed, but it took only a cup of tea to get there. Now that he was in a safe place, he let go of the two children and let the waiter pick them up.

Wang Meiren and Mrs. Jia are on good terms now, they were sitting on the soft seats enjoying the cool breeze enjoying the scenery, when they saw the children coming, they hurriedly waved.

Xia Anran said hello to the two empresses and sat down obediently.

"Why don't you play more?" Mrs. Jia asked and stuffed a fruit into his hand, it was a small pear.

Xia Anran poked her head to look, and before he saw the fruit plate, Mrs. Jia poked his forehead and pushed it back, "Mother still has some, you can eat it."

So he clicked and took three bites, and then he chewed the crispy pear very satisfyingly.Seeing this, Meiren Wang boasted, "Sheng'er is such a good boy, and the pig is just too skinny!"

She saw from a distance that Liu Zhi was being served and washed his hands and face, and then ran over on short legs, so she smiled and said, "I want to learn from my brother."

Liu Xiaozhu was far away, so he didn't know what happened just now, but after hearing what Wang Meiren said, he almost raised his hand without any hesitation, "I want to learn from my brother!"

"Ouch!" His outburst amused the two women, who covered their mouths and giggled.

Seeing that A-Jiao also came over after cleaning, Mrs. Jia asked, "Why is A-Jiao with you?"

The pears were not big, and Xia Anran ate them in a few mouthfuls, and now she was washing her hands in the basin brought by the maid, when she heard the words, she replied casually: "I met Marquis Tangyi on the way, and said that my aunt went hunting and left the children with me. he."

Hey ~

Regarding the matter of their sister-in-law, the two wives naturally couldn't say much.

The sensitivity of the sister-in-law relationship is no less than that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Both women kindly greeted Chen Jiao to come over and sit down to eat fruit.

As soon as the women moved, Xia Anran saw a sitting and lying golden leopard mat that was used to suppress the straw mat, so she couldn't help picking it up to look at it.

As soon as he got the thing, he felt his wrist sink. This thing looks extremely delicate, but it actually weighs four to five catties. This weight is really unscientific.This leopard is sitting cross-legged, its two eyes are made of red agate, and the fur patterns on its body are all made of gilt, which is particularly mighty.

But as he moved Xi Zhen away, a large area immediately rolled up on the other side, and Mrs. Jia asked him to sit down to suppress the disturbance.

Holding Xi Zhen in his hand, the little king moved his butt over little by little, and murmured as he moved, "Mother, why do you use this straw mat? Didn't someone give you a reed mat?"

Mrs. Jia poured a cup of water chestnut water that was heated on the thermos for the two little beans, "You have a lot of things to do, and the reed mat is not easy to roll, but it is a bit hard to sit on, and it is not as soft as the straw mat."

Xia Anran was watching with Xi Zhen in his arms, and he didn't refute his mother when he heard the words. He studied it for a while in surprise and asked, "Mother, do we have cheetahs here?"

"What kind of leopard?" Mrs. Jia glanced at him, and felt disturbed when she saw that he was holding Xizhen and looking left and right, she couldn't put it down, "Isn't it just an ordinary leopard? If you like it, you can take it after the banquet."

It's no ordinary leopard!Xia Anran snorted.

The leopards in Xi Town have tear grooves on their faces. The only leopards in the world with tear grooves are the cheetahs on the African savannah.But how did the cheetahs on the prairie appear in Chang'an?

Whether it is said that this is a foreign handicraft, or that the man has seen a cheetah, it can prove that the man has trade channels with Africa, and there is a lot to be done in it.

Let alone other things, Egypt, which is also a big agricultural country, must have extremely rich rice seeds. If you can buy them and try to hybridize them... Uh, wait, is Egypt still there at this time?He remembered that at this time, that place should be under the Roman Empire.

He put the exotic leopard back on the mat, and was about to continue to ask his mother about the town, when he heard the sound of horseshoes rushing, a person came riding his horse, it was Dou Wan.

When he got to the tent, he got off his horse and led the horse closer. Xia Anran tilted his head and saw a dead deer hanging on the back of his horse.

"Ah Wan?" Xia Anran saw that the person was a little surprised, and then saw that the person had no wounds up and down, and the quiver was full, and was a little puzzled, "Why are you back?"

"Your Highness!" Dou Wan quickly approached him and bowed to him, then untied the cloth bag hanging from his waist and handed it to Xia Anran.

The little king took it unprepared, but the hand was heavy.

How did he hang this thing on his belt and still keep the belt from falling off?

The little king shook his head, ignoring this mystery that all ancient people would know. He didn't kneel down to show the two curious little Douding who came over beside him, because he was afraid that there might be some creature inside that would cause psychological shadows on the child.

And the moment he opened it, he felt an arrow stabbed in his chest, and the pink bubbles that filled his heart and eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

Inside was a gray-brown kitten, which was struggling to get its head out of the bag, and then breathed out at Xia Anran.

The kitten is fluffy and chubby, its ears are folded into airplane ears, its two big eyes are watching the top of the bag vigilantly, and its little paws are eager to move, as if it wants to take the opportunity to pat it.

"What is this?" Xia Anran pinched the kitten's neck with both hands and lifted it out.

The cat cub waved his paws, unable to move, he could only be held upright in his hand, helplessly checked his nails, rubbed his belly, looked at his little butt, and felt that his dignity was seriously trampled on, how angry broken.

"Woo—" it let out a threatening roar, and then it was stuffed back into the bag.

The little thing struggled to stick his head out of the bag, only to find that he was being hugged just like that. With only a small head out, it opened its mouth to bite, but through the thick clothes, its small teeth could not even break the defense. can't do it.

Xia Anran hugged the kitten through the bag to keep Liu Zhi and Chen Jiao from approaching, "Be careful of lice."

Kittens must be taken home: isolation, warmth, physical examination.

Suddenly being sent a petite guest, Xia Anran didn't have the time to ask about Cheetah Xi Zhen, so he immediately took Dou Wan to a corner to cut the cat's nails to reduce its combat effectiveness, "What is this? A cub?"

A series of angry grunts came from the kitten's throat as Dou Wan pinned its head with one hand and fixed its other paw.

Dou Wan was not affected at all, and pressed his hand firmly, so that even if the little king was holding scissors, he could quickly cut off the little boy's sharp nails, and then Dou Wan quickly changed a claw for it, The movements are very skillful, "No, the leopard cubs are not that small, and their calls are different."

"This one's teeth have grown very long, but they are still deciduous teeth. It should be a weaned cub, and it may have been kicked out."

kicked out?in this season?

Xia Anran turned the kitten upside down, the weight... so light, what kind of small cat?Serval?Lynx?

Regarding this, Dou Wan also expressed that he didn't know, "I haven't seen it before. Looking at the claws and teeth, it shouldn't grow too big. Your Highness should keep it for fun."

The little king's eyes were shining, and he felt that his little partner was really caring.The younger brother wanted to return it to his father, but Duoduo didn't know where he was. He was thinking that his future life would be a bit boring, so his little friend caught him a wild cat.

It's not very close, but it's pretty fun—at least it's more fun than Brain Axe!And it must eat less than tigers.

——Decided, after the experiment is successful, all the big tigers caught will be given to my brother.

The little king, who had been distressed for a long time because of the tiger's food consumption, did not feel distressed at all now.

He stuffed the kitten with its nails trimmed into the animal cage. This kind of cage was brought out by the royal family to capture precious creatures, and it was very delicate.

Because the royal family is interested in keeping large beasts, this cat seems to be thrown into the cage...

"It's so small." Liu Zhi, who came over to watch the excitement, commented.

Chen Jiao, who also came to see the excitement, nodded in agreement, then she looked up at the little king, "Can this one be hugged?"

"No, this cat is very wild." The little king picked up the iron tongs and sent a piece of freshly cut red meat into it. Seeing that the cat was not interested, he shook it up and down.

Cats with excellent dynamic vision have the instinct to capture moving things.Even though the cat is afraid and hungry now, and has shown the backbone of "not eating the cheap food" towards the meat, when the meat moves around in front of it, the cat still pounces on it and bites it down.

As soon as the meat is in the mouth, the blood will fill the mouth, the taste of fresh meat, and the taste of fresh meat it has never eaten, it is venison that only large predators have eaten!

As a small cat, of course it can't hunt these.

The meat was already in its mouth, and the cat was at a loss for a while. On the one hand, it wanted to spit it out, but on the other hand, it was a little bit reluctant.

When I looked up, I found several two-legged beasts all turned their backs, ah, I didn't look here!It immediately ate the meat in two or three bites, and then shrank to a corner where there was no blood, with a look of "I didn't eat the meat".

"It's so stupid..." Liu Zhi, who was not very interested in cats, had a look of horror on his face. He turned to ask the little king, "Brother, do you want to raise this?"

Xia Anran thought for a while and hesitated.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi sighed, "Brother, if you want to keep pets, you might as well keep some docile ones. This one is small and useless, and it looks quite troublesome."

Gillian disagreed with this point, "It's fun to raise these wild and untamed ones, to soften their claws bit by bit, to see how they submit before you, in front of you and in front of others, isn't it? More fun?"

The two little kings looked at the little girl Chen Jiao together, and Liu Zhi immediately expressed different opinions, "The end result is the same, it is better to raise a docile one..."

"Then what kind of horse do you raise! Why don't you just ride a mule!"

"How is this the same?"

"What's the difference?"

The two children quarreled in an instant, and the little king had a bad feeling being caught in the middle.

He moved a little bit, trying to hand over the home field to the two children, he wanted to be more clean, but he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes as soon as he took a step.The two children looked at him at the same time, their eyes clearly said—whose opinion do you agree with?

Where is the correct answer here?

The little king didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's fine if you like it, your own pet is your own decision. As long as you don't want to be scratched."

"It's okay to get scratched," Chen Ajiao said with her hands on her hips, "It's useless for me to get scratched by my own pet."

"So you're looking for trouble." Liu Zhi frowned tightly, "Keeping pets is just for fun, just for leisure, and it's too wasteful to waste too much time on them."

As soon as he said this, Chen Jiao immediately fell silent.She lowered her head for a while before sighing, then looked up at Liu Zhi, then at Xia Anran, and said, "I know where the problem is..."

"Ok?"

"You men have other enemies outside, right?"

Liu Zhi nodded, "The enemy of the big man is the Huns, and there are Nanyue people in the south, they are very powerful."

"So, you already have some particularly ferocious beasts to tame outside, and naturally you just want to find a clean place to raise some soft and cute little animals when you get home." Chen Jiao said with reason and evidence, "Our girls Life is peaceful on weekdays, so I want to raise some more aggressive animals."

Makes sense!

Xia Anran was in awe of the little girl's logic, but Liu Zhi didn't like it at all, he turned his head and whispered: "Is it just you?"

"What did you say?"

"Originally, sister Yangxin, sister Nangong and the others don't raise this! This is obviously your own problem."

Chen Jiao burst into flames when she heard the words, "Yangxin is because she is married! Nangong is going to the Huns, and they all have enemies to tame!"

"What enemy?"

"Of course it's husband and son-in-law! My mother said that a man is a woman and must be taught well!"

"..." The two men at the scene were stunned.

Seeing them sluggish, Chen Jiao lowered her voice, touched her nose and whispered, "That's why they don't need to keep any ferocious pets."

"Women who are married all like to raise some soft and meaningless little pets, so we are different."

Xia Anran was frightened by the little girl's aura and took a step back, bumping into Dou Wan's body, and when she turned around, she saw the latter's obviously shocked face.

The eyes of the two met, and there was a sentence written in the eyes - woman, so scary.

"Jiaojiao! What are you talking about!" A woman's voice came from afar.

The young boys took advantage of the situation and saw a woman in riding attire walking quickly with a whip in her hand.

The woman was dressed in flame red, with bright facial features and an imposing manner. She walked quickly, and a scarlet cloak spread a string of red clouds behind her.

The eyes of the young boys involuntarily fell on the piles of prey brought in by the riding boy behind her, then across her empty quiver, and finally across her bloody whip.

Guantao said to his daughter solemnly: "Girls are from every family, what are you talking about? Girls should be more gentle and virtuous."

The author has something to say:

Dou, who can fight wild boars, resist monsters, push bosses, bring babies, and catch pets, just has no sense of existence, Wan.

Liu, Douding one, fighting power 0.2 goose, destructive power 0.8 goose, bear, many minds, I don’t know why they are especially stealing the show, if the green JJ is not harmonious, it is the first call for the attack of the year.

The sluggish author Jun silently watched these two people biting their pens, isn't the drama of these two people a little messed up?

irresponsible little theater

Liu She: Dad, do you know why trees lose their leaves in autumn?

Liu She: Daddy, do you know why you need to break the shell when you boil eggs?

Liu She: Daddy, do you know why when you catch fish in winter, you only need to break the ice shell and the fish will pop out?

Liu She: Daddy, do you know why the colors of the soil are different?

Liu Qi: Dad doesn't know, but do you know why Dad wants to return you to that brat Liu Sheng now?
