At night, Hokyo Palace, Kakuin.

"It smells so good!" Wu Gengying looked at the table full of dishes and said happily.

The thick and spacious wooden table is filled with all kinds of dishes, such as baked hare, fried slippery chicken, fish fillet in milk sauce, fish rolls with sugar, duck feet with golden water, and glazed pearl fruits...... There are more than a dozen kinds of large and small, and there are a lot of vegetarian desserts, such as pearl bean grass, hibiscus fish bones, 100 seeds and winter melon, jade gold cake, chestnut cake, sesame burrito, red bean porridge, etc., all kinds of dishes are crystal oily, shining with attractive luster, exuding aroma, it is really extraordinarily rich!

In the end, it is the dinner in the palace, although the corner courtyard is the lowest level in the palace, and the people who live there are not nobles, but the dinner shows the grandeur of the emperor's family and the preferential treatment of protons by King Wu of Zhou.

After Aunt You Xi sent away the temple people who passed the dinner, Wu Gengying was lying on the edge of the table staring at the dishes, and the shadow, who had not eaten for a long time, smacked his salivating mouth, and couldn't wait to grab the vegetables to eat.

"You Yan, the master over there is also the king's child, go and ask them to come over and eat together. Blame the poor one! Tonight, my father-in-law deducted their dinner, and I was cold thinking about it, and I had been walking for another day, how could I get hungry? Aunt You Xi said to You Xi.

"Is that my sister Wang? I don't think I've seen it before. Wu Yiding took out the short knife and played with it in his hand, tilting his head and asking Aunt Youxi.

"Long'er, there are more than a dozen of your brothers and sisters living in the palace today. Your father has many princes and heirs, and you were still young, and they all met each other, and it is normal to forget. The one just now is the niece of Huang Feihu, a famous general of the Duozi family. Concubine Huang used to be in the Shang Dynasty, a high and powerful position, her daughter was called Wu Mu Nu, who used to go to the queen's place, and went to the queen's palace with Princess Youfu in Xia and knew her. "Aunt You Xi is 1510 and told Wu Yiding.

"Go, You, and invite them over to supper. They are all the children of our king, and it is also our duty to take care of them in the future. Aunt You Xi was old and serious, and said to You Yan in a low voice.

The Imperial City of Hojing is really different from the Dangshan Palace, in addition to being quiet and orderly, and the almost perfect neatness is awe-inspiring, the palace guards can be described as first-class. King Wu of Zhou really had the royal power, overthrew the tyranny of the former Shang, and ruled the world, for the new regime, although the turmoil has gradually calmed down, the world has restored tranquility, and the subjects enjoy the surface peace, but as a royal city, King Wu of Zhou has not relaxed his vigilance for a moment.

Every road in the palace is guarded by a soldier, three steps and a post, and five steps and a sentry. In addition to the strict guards, the temple people, erectors, and servants in the palace have obviously been strictly trained. Their steps are hurried but light and powerful, they speak and do things in a measured manner, not saying a word more, and not going to a place they shouldn't go.

The palace looks solemn and solemn at night, and the palace lights are particularly bright one after another. The corridor on the central axis is wide and clean, dividing the entire royal city into two.

King Wu of Zhou moved the young son of the previous dynasty into his palace to raise him, which has far-reaching significance.

After the capital was set in Hojing, in order to stabilize the turbulent social situation, the mainstream idea of "benevolence, respect for the elderly, mercy for the young, and courtesy and virtuous" condensed the forces of all social strata. King Wu of Zhou divided the land among the eldest sons of the Zhou Dynasty, allowing them to enjoy the lordship and freedom enjoyed by the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty. For the many young sons of the king of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou not only did not kill them, but also moved them into his palace, raising them according to the treatment of his sons, and at the same time giving them the right to be educated. In this way, the nobles of the original Shang Dynasty who wanted to take revenge and resume business also died down on the surface and enjoyed glory and wealth.

You Yan called Wu Mu Nu to come over, and everyone gathered together, which was very lively.

"Are you also the children of my father? How come you have never seen it before? Wu Mu Nu entered the door, stared at Wu Yiding and Wu Gengying, and asked in an impassioned voice.

"Come, come, come, Wood Girl, come here!" Aunt You Xi hurriedly gave up her seat and said, "In the past, you and your mother often went to the queen's place, when you were still young, your appearance has not changed, but you have grown a lot taller, and you are still so beautiful. Come on, sit here. As if she had seen a relative, Aunt You Xi took over and greeted Wu Mu Nu.

Wu Yiding didn't sit down, she stood, borrowed the light, and saw the half-sister in front of her, estimated to be one or two years older than herself, her hair was long and straight, like a waterfall with a right oblique bun, a strand of hair lying on her back, as elegant as a fairy daughter. Look at this martial arts girl with fair and ruddy skin, under the straight and upturned nose bridge, a small mouth is as full as red ointment, thin melon seed face, big and watery eyes, she is talking while blinking her eyes, although she is not smiling, her appearance is also playful and clever, and she is endearing.

"You? You're Aunt Yuxi, aren't you? Seeing that her aunt was busy greeting herself, Wu Mu Nu was unceremoniously, and after sitting down, she asked You Xidao.

"Yes, princess, you used to go to the queen's palace to play with the eldest prince, and you often called me." Aunt Yuxi looked very happy, lowered her voice, and called out to the princess.

"Auntie, Aunt Yuxi." Wu Mu Nu probably heard the title of 'princess', and when she saw the old man again, she was touched by the sadness, and while calling her aunt, she threw herself into Aunt Youxi's arms and cried softly.

"Okay, okay, now it's okay, we're all together, don't cry, don't cry!" Aunt You Xi helped Wu Mu Nu wipe her tears, and while coaxing this prominent and squeamish princess in the former palace, she also beckoned Wu Yinding, Wu Gengying, You Yan, You Ji, and Wu Mu Nu's two personal aunts, Si Zhao and Si Xia, to sit down, and everyone was like a family, surrounding the long-lost delicacy, and had the first dinner in the Zhou Palace.

The children moved into the palace to raise them, and on the one hand, Da Zhou appeased the hearts of the people who fluctuated in the environment at that time and stifled the rebellion of the remnants of Yin Shang; On the other hand, take the child as a hostage and control the eldest son of the king to serve well in the fiefdom, so as not to rebel. Therefore, although these former princes and princesses have moved into the palace, they do not live together. The royal city is so big, southeast, northwest, as long as there is a corner of the palace that is the most secluded and remote, they will live there.

The courtyard where the Wu Yiding lived was located at the southernmost point of the royal city. A wall less than 50 meters apart is the "Beast Arch Garden", one of the Wang's courtyards that had just moved to the abandoned mountain.

Because the princes, queens, kings, and princesses all liked animals, after moving away two-thirds of the beasts, only a few beasts in the "Beast Arch Garden" were left in the palace garden. In their free time, they can enjoy and have fun. There are not many wild beasts in the "Beast Arch Garden", but they are rare, similar to rare beasts such as tigers, leopards, and bears, and there are only one or two.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

The third watch has passed, and Wu Yiding and everyone who have been running for a day have rested. Suddenly, a long beast roar woke Wu Yiding suddenly.

Right! This should be the sound of a tiger.
