Yang Zheng looked at it for a while, only to feel that there were many dishes on the table that he had never seen, if it weren't for his scruples about his identity, and so many fake people around him, he would have pounced on it, eating and drinking violently, but at this time he had to follow the rules, first look at the dishes one by one, and then decide to eat that dish, after twenty dishes were swept quickly, his eyes were fixed on the pot roast duck on the left, this dish was introduced by Chen Wu on the road, iron pot duck! Ginger is steamed and taken out in a basket, the bones are removed, the flour is smeared, and then mixed into a paste with eggs, wet water chestnut flour and soy sauce, and wrapped in flour. Second, open the hot raw oil pot (the oil should not be over the duck), put the duck into the boiling and frying, until the duck floats and turns dark and then take it out, cut it into long strips, neatly arrange it on the plate, the taste is excellent, Yang Zheng has a rare opportunity today, naturally I want to taste it, and there are too many dishes, too many tables, he can't tell what dishes he can't see, let alone remember the name, only this pot of roast duck remembers clearly, so I can't help but look at it twice.

The eunuch beside him immediately understood, stepped forward and put a piece of it in his bowl with silver chopsticks.

Yang Zheng was reminded by Chen Wu, but he also knew his identity, and he ate calmly, slowly put the duck meat into his mouth, and chewed it slowly, the meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which couldn't help but make him appetite, and glanced at the roast duck again, and said, "This dish is good!" The eunuch on the side looked at him a little strangely, and put a piece of dried meat into his bowl again.

Yang Zheng ate it again, only to feel that the more he ate this dish, the more flavorful it became, and he wanted to eat the third bite after eating the second bite, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at it again, this time, the eunuch's face was a little ugly, but he didn't move, but glanced at the four eunuchs behind Yang Zheng.

Chen Wu walked up instead of the four eunuchs, and said to the eunuch with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Your Highness has been busy with state affairs recently, I'm afraid that I have forgotten the rules set by my ancestors for a while, so the servants will tell Your Highness?"

According to the rules, the prince is eating, and these eunuchs are not allowed to speak, but Chen Wu is Zhu Zhanji's personal eunuch, who has served him since he was a child, and has a very high status in the palace, the eunuch glanced at Zhu Zhanji or nodded and said, "Is there Lao Chen's father-in-law?"

Yang Zheng glanced at Chen Wu a little strangely, and then looked at the eunuch with an ugly face, and said in his heart: "Your grandfather's, Lao Tzu is just having a meal, you don't need this expression, right?"

Chen Wu looked at him with a blank look, for fear that others would see something, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the rules of the ancestors?"

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said "oops" in his heart: "Mother, forget that this prince can't eat as he wants, no matter what the dish, even if it is delicious, you can't eat three bites in a row, this is a family rule handed down by the ancestors, called "Don't eat more than three spoonfuls of vegetables." Because what the emperor and the crown prince like to eat and what they don't like to eat must not be known to outsiders, first, for fear that someone will make up their minds on the diet and poison the emperor or the prince; second, they also don't want to spread the word that someone will use the name of the imperial diet to deceive them. Yang Zheng was embarrassed, and then he knew what the four eunuchs standing behind him were doing just now, specializing in enforcing family rules, even if the emperor and the prince had to eat, they had to follow the rules set by their ancestors. The emperor and the prince looked at the dish with their eyes, and the eunuch moved the dish closer to the emperor and the prince, and then scooped it into the cloth dish with a spoon. If the emperor says "this dish is good" or nods approvingly, the eunuch will scoop it for the emperor again, and at the same time push the dish backwards, and cannot scoop it a third time. If you scoop three times and eat three bites in a row, one of the four eunuchs will shout: "Withdraw" and the rest of the eunuchs will take down the dish, and they will not see this dish again for ten days and a half months. The palace called this rule "passing on the meal but not persuading the meal".

Yang Zheng nodded at Chen Wu, glanced at the roast duck with some reluctance, and said in his heart: "This kind of meal is not fun?" and said reluctantly: "I was so busy with state affairs that I forgot the rules of my ancestors, so this dish was withdrawn, right?"

The eunuch on the side suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Chen Wu, who said, "Withdraw?"

Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward, picked up the dish and turned his head away, without any room for it.

While the eunuch was explaining something to the eunuch serving the dishes, Chen Wu hurriedly leaned in Yang Zheng's ear and reminded softly: "Your Highness eats dishes on weekdays, just eat one bite of each dish?"

Yang Zheng saw the emperor's family eating, and nodded busily, indicating that he knew.

Knowing the rules, Yang Zheng is not polite, more than 20 dishes, starting from the most marginal dishes, take a bite of each dish, and never eat a second bite.

The eunuch didn't secretly breathe a sigh of relief until this moment, and gave a look to one of the eunuchs beside him.

The eunuch understood, hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully put a dozen famous brands on a large silver plate, and then placed them in the dishes.

Before Yang Zheng could speak, Chen Wu on the side reminded in a low voice: "He is the eunuch of the respectful room!"

"Jingshifang?" Yang Zheng was taken aback, he watched a lot of film and television dramas in his previous life, and he knew who this kind of eunuch was, the so-called Jingshifang was in charge of the emperor's and prince's affairs, and the emperor and the prince were all managed and recorded by the eunuchs in the Jingshifang. Emperor and queen each line of room, the chief eunuch of the respectful room has to write down the year, month and day, in case of the future when the prince is born to check and verify, he thought that this item is only available to the emperor, how do you know that the prince also does this, this is not difficult to understand, the prince is the prince of the country, except for not sitting on the chair, the others are not much different from the emperor, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the prince's degree of freedom is much greater than the later Qing Dynasty.

Yang Zheng's face was a little difficult to look at, and he said in his heart: "Lao Tzu is just here to dress up, but it's not the one who moves the real character, besides, Lao Tzu just wants to move the real character, and when the real prince comes back in the future, can he let me go?" Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

Just when he was surprised, the eunuch sent the silver plate to him, Yang Zheng glanced down, and saw that in the big silver plate, there were dozens of green cards, with dense names written on them, and he didn't know how to start for a while.

"This is the three palaces and six courtyards, the seventy-two concubines?

Seeing that Yang Zheng didn't move, the eunuch raised the plate in his hand a little higher and motioned him to turn over the card.

"Lao Tzu is a copycat version, and he doesn't dare to do it even if he turns over the brand?, why are you still wasting all this energy?" Yang Zheng rolled his eyes angrily.

The eunuch was startled when he saw that the prince's face was not good, and his hands trembled and did not move.

At this time, Chen Wu on the side said in a low voice: "Your Highness has been busy with state affairs for the past two days, and your body needs to be controlled, so forget it today, right?"

"Yes, Lone is tired today, rest early?" After speaking, he said to the eunuch, "Stand down?"

The eunuch answered, hurriedly retreated, and a eunuch behind him immediately took out the record book he carried with him and bowed down to record.

Yang Zheng was curious, and he didn't want to ask too much, seeing that he had almost eaten, he remembered the previous system, and this time he didn't need Chen Wu to remind: "It's all rewarded, right?"

The eunuch understood, and began to pack up the dishes, and used them all to reward the concubine and the entourage to eat.

After dinner, Yang Zheng didn't dare to stay longer, and threw a look at Chen Wu, Chen Wu understood, and hurriedly shouted: "The prince is back to the palace?"

The guard in front of the door shouted for a while, and he was about to come forward to follow, Yang Zheng was the first prince today, and he was inevitably unfamiliar with the rules, for fear of being seen by others, so he waved his hand and said, "You all withdrew, right?

The guards answered, and each of them retreated.

Only Chen Wu and him were left in the corridor, Yang Zheng looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Chen, how is the lonely table?"

Chen Wu was still a little worried, but seeing today's calm and calm, there was nothing wrong, seeing that his face was pale, he comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, although these eunuchs are eunuchs in the respectful room, and they see the prince a lot on weekdays, but they have always been extremely talkative, even if His Highness has something wrong today, they don't dare to talk nonsense, besides, today's old slave looks at His Highness's expression and demeanor, but it can be regarded as a fit, no big deal?"

As soon as he heard that it was no big deal, Yang Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the respectful room just now, and couldn't help but be a little curious, there are many legends about the emperor's affairs in later generations, and now he has come to investigate it in person, and he will not let go of the secrets, he glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, you are alone, what if you turn over the brand today?"

Chen Wu was walking forward, and when he heard this, he subconsciously glanced left and right a few times, the emperor's affairs have always been secret, and people can't grasp the law lightly. Not only that, even if it is the emperor, what kind of dishes the prince likes to eat can never be recorded, and the emperor and the prince will never say what they like to eat, or what they want to eat today. The eunuchs and palace personnel who serve the meal are not allowed to talk casually, this is a big taboo in the palace, and those who talk about or leak the emperor's dining situation at will will be punished with a rod and beheaded at a heavy rate, so there are very few people in the palace who talk about the life of the emperor's family.

Chen Wu had a sad face, he was the most favored eunuch next to Zhu Zhanji, and he knew a lot of things, but he was extremely smart, and he never talked about the prince's words and deeds in the palace, and even the prince liked calligraphy, Danqing, good poetry and songs, and good Nanjing's Yuhua tea, he never talked about it to others, and he was even told about Zhu Zhanji's private affairs.
