Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Song Palace

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

I have to say that Xiao Xian and the others want to deal with Zhao Yu, and they really have to think of some special methods, because this kid is too capable of tossing and adapting, and after arriving in Beijing, in a short period of time, he will mingle with the gentlemen in Beijing.

Not only that, Zhao Yu's subordinates released a word that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Song Palace, will be opened for free for the people of Shangjing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow sculptures.

Zhao Yu originally wanted to collect tickets, but was dispelled by Xiao Yiyi's hard pinching, the dignified King of Song, is there still a little bit of silver, is it a shame?

Emperor Tianzuo was originally a playful character, and since Zhao Yu arrived in Beijing, all kinds of impeachment and gossip about this kid have not stopped.

Seeing that the day after tomorrow was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Tianzuo couldn't help it, and came to Zhao Yu's mansion with a few guards in micro-clothes.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw from a distance that there were still many people in and out of the Song Palace, including people, servants, and many guards.

These people are not empty in their hands, some are picking ice and snow, some are carrying tables and chairs, and many are carrying iron tools and other materials...

The more Emperor Tianzuo looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but ask the guards around him: "Isn't there a back door in the Song Palace?" Why does everything go through the main entrance? ”

The guards were also confused, and they just wanted to ask, but they were stopped by Emperor Tianzuo again.

"Forget it, let's go over and have a look"

Emperor Tianzuo was also a little angry in his heart, and said in his heart I gave you such a big prince, why should you pay attention to your identity, right? No wonder someone has been impeaching you lately...

Of course, not everyone can enter Zhao Yufu, not to mention those who work, a fresh face like Emperor Tianzuo must come over for interrogation.

However, although Emperor Tianzuo came from a small suit, his dress and temperament are obviously not comparable to ordinary people.

A person who looked like the leader of the guards came over and said to Emperor Tianzuo with a smile: "You are also here to participate in His Highness's hot pot banquet, right?" You're here at the right time, please come inside, it's about to start."

"Hot pot feast?"

Hearing these four words, Emperor Tianzuo put a big question mark in his head, but he still nodded and walked in.

When he stepped into the palace gate, Emperor Tianzuo was stunned, but when he saw that from the palace gate, both sides were covered with scenery carved with ice and snow, with people, animals, flowers and plants, and houses...

At first, when he heard that Zhao Yu was going to build an ice and snow palace for Xiao Yiyi, Emperor Tianzuo didn't care too much, young man! It's always inevitable to love tinkering with something new, but I never thought that ice and snow could still play like this?

I happened to see a few masters carving ice and snow around me loading things into an ice sculpture of a fierce beast.

Tianzuodi finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you putting oil lamps?" Doesn't putting an oil lamp in the snow melt the snow and ice? ”

"Huh! At first glance, you are a layman, the lamp oil in these gas dead wind lamps is calculated, and before the heat is completely dispersed, the lamp oil will run out, and nothing will be affected."

Emperor Tianzuo nodded and continued to walk forward, when several familiar faces flashed by, and then walked forward with a grin.

Emperor Tianzuo remembered very well that the young people in front of him were all well-known gentlemen in the capital, but he didn't want these people to appear here.

Emperor Tianzuo suddenly found that he didn't seem to know much about that brother-in-law, you must know that this kid has only been here for a few days!

My heart was full of doubts about Zhao Yu, and I didn't want to watch the snow sculptures along the way, and walked forward for a while, and suddenly a strange smell of meat came over.

As the king of a country, Emperor Tianzuo has never eaten any kind of food, but this is the first time he has smelled such a fragrance, smelling the aroma of meat that can make people feel comfortable, and he swallowed his saliva without a breath.

Walking here, he was already close to the back house, and someone finally stood up to stop Emperor Tianzuo and his party.

"Distinguished guests, please show us your invitations"

There is no need to speak about this kind of thing at all, and there are already guards who have come over to identify themselves.

Hearing that it was the emperor who came, the palace steward was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Emperor Tianzuo.

"I don't need to be polite here, you come and tell me what's going on inside?"

"Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, His Royal Highness ordered someone to find some blacksmiths, and let them make some peculiar pots, the pot is divided into two layers, add charcoal in the middle, put a special soup on the outer layer, and then slice the beef and mutton, and soak it in the boiling soup to eat, the taste is very..."

Without waiting for the steward to explain, Emperor Tianzuo wiped the halazi from his mouth and strode inside.

Of course, you can't eat outside, it looks like it should be a big hall for banquets.

As soon as Emperor Tianzuo arrived at the gate of the hall, he heard Zhao Yu's voice from inside.

"It's all gentlemen! It's the gentlemen who have taken off their coats, and the hot pot has to be eaten like this, otherwise I'll sweat for a while, but don't blame me for not telling you"

"Haha... King Song is right, they all take off their coats, and whoever doesn't take them off is not a master."

Hearing this voice, Emperor Tianzuo was startled, because the person who spoke was none other than his second son, Yelu Yali, who was crowned King of Liang.

At this time, another voice said: "King Song is getting some Jiangnan girls, even more... Oops! Who the fuck hit me? ”

"Hit you? You don't look at what kind of place this is, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll strip you naked and throw you outside."

Emperor Tianzuo listened to it sincerely, saying that it was Xiao Sixian's son Xiao Duoli who was looking for a Jiangnan woman, who was a famous gentleman in the capital.

But no matter how stupid the guy is, there are people who are afraid, this kid is most afraid of Xiao Yiyi, after being beaten by Yelu Yali just now, he suddenly remembered that this is Xiao Yiyi's home, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word more.

"It's a friend who comes, just a task today, eat well and drink well! Come! Served"

With Zhao Yu's command, the atmosphere in the hall became warm again...

"Brother Huang, why are you here? Hee-hee! Aren't you hungry too? ”

Emperor Tianzuo was hesitating to go in, when Xiao Yiyi's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Of course, Emperor Tianzuo couldn't say that he also wanted to go in and eat, so he turned around and said, "What is King Song doing?" How can a dignified prince be so nonsense? ”

Xiao Yiyi glanced at the hall, stuck out his tongue mischievously, and then affectionately grabbed Emperor Tianzuo's arm, and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, but then again, I may have a premonition that the imperial brother is coming, so I prepared a separate table in the back early, the imperial brother will taste the eating method of their hometown first, and then take me to call him over, you are reprimanding him."

There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot, and if a hot pot can't be solved, just have a small barbecue, even if you are a serious person, you can also eat and serve.

Barbecue is not an invention of later generations, but cutting it into small slices and feeding it to the mouth, and then putting it on with a bamboo skewer is not the way to eat it in this era.

After knowing that Emperor Tianzuo was coming, Zhao Yu accompanied the gentlemen in the capital to eat hot pot for a while, and then returned to the back, ready to accompany Emperor Tianzuo for a barbecue...
