Chapter 9: Night Drinking
The room of the eighth prince is the smallest of all the princes, is it because the emperor doesn't favor him? Definitely!
Since his assassination at the age of five, the king has become stupid and stupid, so he has not been bullied by other princes, and the emperor arranged him to this secluded place. Because the king likes to eat dates, the emperor ordered someone to transport a big snow date tree from Donglu and plant it in the courtyard.
Not only that, but the king is the only one who can roast a whole sheep in the courtyard.
There are many buildings in the palace, and they are all wooden, the weather is dry in autumn and winter, if you accidentally catch fire, the consequences are unimaginable, so it is strictly forbidden to make a fire in the palace without permission. And the emperor actually let an idiot play with fire in the palace, which shows how much he is spoiled.
After waking up from falling into the water, His Royal Highness didn't know what evil had happened, so he specially opened up a small field in the courtyard and surrounded it with a fence, planning to plant some melons, fruits and vegetables in the spring of the next year. If a dignified son wants to farm, will the emperor not know? But still acquiesced to him doing so.
At this time, on the square table in the room, plates of mutton were neatly arranged, and there were several small plates on the table, which were salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Not only that, but he also dried and ground dried and ground into powder, which was then mixed together as a substitute for MSG. At this time, the emperor looked at the plates full of spices in front of him, and was very surprised, especially the last plate, like grass seeds, smelling a strange fragrance, Rao is emperor traveled south and north in the early years, and he had never seen this kind of thing.
Looking at the emperor's eyes full of doubts, the king's authority began to show again:
"It's a good thing, you'll know when you taste it."
Finally, this grass seed is the soul of barbecue - cumin, which I didn't expect to find a thousand years ago. But when the royal authority had nothing to do to look through the tributes in the inner library, he found a small jar of cumin from the Western Regions, and the imperial court received tens of millions of tributes every year, including many rare treasures, and this inconspicuous pot of grass seeds was naturally not taken seriously.
Getting this jar of cumin, the king's power is like a treasure, and in the entire dynasty, he may be the only one who knows the preciousness of this jar of grass seeds. In his eyes, this is much more precious than those thousand-year-old ginseng in those palaces.
Wang Quanquan caressed the jar with pity, and his expression was like that of a retired father-in-law who had regained his treasure.
Since then, Wang Quan has had an additional hobby - eating roasted whole sheep.
When the king saw that things were ready, he began to incarnate as a barbecue prince.
I saw him roll up his sleeves, pinch the seasonings from different dishes in turn, and sprinkle them on the mutton. The emperor still looked at him suspiciously, and when the king finally sprinkled cumin on the mutton, the mutton seemed to have a wonderful change, and the aroma instantly spread throughout the whole room, even the emperor who was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, it was so fragrant!
Wang Quanquan looked at the emperor's eager appearance, swelled up more and more, and put a plate of seasoned mutton in front of the emperor.
"Taste it, let me tell you, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to eat such a good thing before you died."
Xiao Chunzi and the old eunuch who were waiting next to him had just changed their clothes, and at this moment their backs were in a cold sweat, and their scalps were numb, this is really a living ancestor, do you want to play with them to death.
The emperor is very adaptable, and he is used to the unbridled mouth of the king's authority, and he is simply farting.
Pick up a piece of mutton and put it in your mouth, after chewing, your mouth is full of oil, and with the seasoning with just the right proportion, it is just fat but not greasy. The spice called cumin is the finishing touch, which not only retains the umami of the lamb, but also adds a unique taste.
On the other side, the king was not idle, and ordered: "Go and let the cook roast a few skewers of lamb kidneys, medium cooked, and bloody hula." ”
Even if he ordered it like this, the cook wouldn't dare to do that, the eighth prince was unreliable, who didn't know the entire palace, if he had a problem, he wouldn't want to do it in his head. Finally, two skewers of fully roasted kidneys were served, and the king himself sprinkled the spices.
"How about the father, the emperor also has a big waist, two mouthfuls?"
Is Rao the emperor accustomed to the speaking style of the king's authority, or is he stunned when he listens to it, where did this rabbit cub learn these words?
When I was in college in the previous life, I didn't learn much about Wang Quanquan, so I learned to drink with my classmates all day long, and now I have found the feeling of the year again.
"Xiao Chunzi, go and bring the good wine that my father treasured, just that altar for fifty years."
When Koharuko heard that she had made a mistake, she looked at the emperor.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, how did he know that he had a good wine that had been treasured for fifty years.
The emperor did have a batch of fifty-year-old wine, and that batch of wine was left to him by the old emperor, and he originally planned to keep it for a big day, but I don't know where this loser knew about it, and now he has the idea of his own batch of wine.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, the emperor simply asked him to drink enough today, and said to Xiao Chunzi, who didn't know how to be good: "If Your Highness the Eighth wants to drink, go and get it." ”
As if she had been pardoned, Koharuko hurried to fetch wine. After a short time, he took an altar and poured it for the emperor and the eight princes. Wang Quanquan was unwilling, and said with a horizontal face:
"I said Xiaochunzi, my father asked you to go and get wine, and you brought back a jar, who do you look down on?"
Xiao Chunzi was deducted such a big hat for no reason, so frightened that he quickly knelt down and looked at His Majesty the Emperor aggrievedly, and the emperor was also made by this son to lose his temper at all, and waved his hand again.
"Go get a few more jars, it's a big deal if you can't finish drinking and put them back."
Xiao Chunzi hurriedly thanked her, and after getting up, she took a few people to get wine.
It would be a long story to say how the royal authority knew that the emperor had secretly hidden good wine. What was certain, however, was the most trivial of all the secrets he knew.
In the past half a year, the royal authority did not have any entertainment programs, very boring, so every time he felt bored, he went to the palace to wander around, although the palace was heavily guarded, but who called him the eighth prince, so the road was unimpeded.
After wandering around for more than half a year, he really found a lot of fun, not only the tribute of the inner library was turned over by him, but he found a lot of good things in it. Even the palace maid and the guard cheated on each other, and he bumped into it three or four times, and each time he scared the other party half to death and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. And Wang Quanquan not only did not feel ashamed of this, but also intensified his performance, every time he was ignorant: "What are you doing? ”
made the two people on the other side blush-faced and made up lame nonsense every time.
These tired of playing with the royal power have figured out a new bad taste - voyeurism!
It's not the kind of thing that peeks at the palace maid taking a bath or something like that, whenever he sees someone sneaky, he will always secretly follow him under curiosity to take a look, so he found a lot of interesting things.
These include, but are not limited to: a certain concubine stabbing a villain and cursing the queen; A certain eunuch is a false eunuch; There was an old lady who was a young woman in disguise; There were several secret passages in the palace, as well as the emperor's wine cellar.
The more Wang Quanquan looks, the more frightened he becomes, thanks to his cultivation, he can hide his breath without knowing it, if he is changed before, he will definitely be a dead end, this palace hides too many secrets.
Now it seems that the emperor's wine collection is only the smallest of many secrets.
Soon, ten jars of fifty-year-old wine were moved into the house, Wang Quanquan was not polite at all, directly slapped the mud seal of one of the jars, and as the amber wine was poured into the bowl, the aroma of wine was overflowing, filling the entire room, and the king's actions made the emperor stunned, when did this kid learn to drink.
The king's authority also filled the emperor with a bowl.
"Father, I did it, you are free."
As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all in one go, wiping his mouth with his sleeve after drinking.
"Good wine!"
No matter how excessive the king's words were before, they did not affect the emperor's state of mind, but this sentence "I did you at will" stimulated the emperor.
You didn't know where you were when Lao Tzu walked the rivers and lakes, but now you kid is taking care of Lao Tzu, it's really unreasonable!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his head and dried up his bowl. Then he threw the bowl down, and everyone in the room was frightened except for the king.
"Ladies only use bowls, and gentlemen should use jars."
The emperor said, directly picked up a jar of wine, patted off the mud seal, and raised his head to drink.
Seeing this, Wang Quanquan thought that it was okay, but he didn't expect his father to have such a heroic side, and his temperament dictated, so he also picked up the wine jar and drank it.
Because of his cultivation, although the king's power is not inviolable, his body metabolism is extremely fast, which is why he eats a lot, and now even if he drinks this kind of fifty-year-old wine, it is no different from drinking water, so after a while, there are five or six empty jars around him.
On the other hand, on the emperor's side, after drinking two jars of wine, he was already a little delirious, not because the emperor had a bad amount of alcohol, but because the speed of the king's power was faster than drinking.
