Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

The skinny monkey didn't care where they ate, so he spread out two large bags, and the two of them sat on the white jade steps in front of the imperial study and ate like they were having a picnic.

The spring afternoon sunshine makes people feel warm.

Zhou Chang and Shouhou sat respectively on the top and bottom steps of the white jade steps on the east side outside the imperial study.

In a short while, several plates of pastries and fruits were eaten.

"It would have been helpful if you had brought me another pot of tea." Zhou Chang was peeling an orange.

After waiting for half a day, no one came out from the imperial study to inquire. It seemed that the emperor had no suspicions, so she could rest assured.

The skinny monkey had a piece of mung bean cake in his mouth and half a banana in his hand: "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't think of it, but I just can't spare the time."

"By the way, that was quite cruel just now. Old man Liu Mu looks quite old." Zhou Chang looked at the copper plates piled up beside him. Half of his heart was ready to follow him into the imperial study, but the other half felt a little apologetic.

The skinny monkey didn't care and patted the pile of plates and bowls beside him: "Who knows whether the prince's flip is meant to flip the person or the tray? It's also a big harvest today. The bread here is all real goods."

"I was worried that you wouldn't understand what I meant, but I didn't expect you to understand it so thoroughly." Zhou Chang expressed his gratitude sincerely, "Monkey, you really helped a lot, you can be said to have 'turned the tide'."

"What help?" The skinny monkey stuffed another banana into his mouth and said in a vague voice, "I didn't do anything. It was old man Liu Mu who was careless."

"That's right, that's right." Zhou Chang smiled secretly.

"By the way, Your Majesty, we haven't done this for a long time. What's wrong with you today?" asked the skinny monkey.

"What?" Zhou Chang asked knowingly.

The skinny monkey kept talking, "When I was in the palace and had nothing to eat, I was desperate and did the same thing, but unfortunately the prince got older and didn't want to do it anymore."

As the skinny monkey spoke, many distant memories of Prince Yi Fengming came to mind.

"It's not because of age, but it's a different time now." Zhou Chang savored the memories of Prince Yi Fengming back then.

Princes and princes, it seems that no matter what your identity is, it is not easy for them all.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they packed up the remaining plates and bowls.

Zhou Chang was finally relieved, and he walked out with the skinny monkey, carrying a large bag and holding a stack of silver plates in his hands.

He attracted the attention of the palace servants along the way, but no one dared to step forward and ask questions.

It was not until he reached the Donghua Gate that he was stopped by Fang She, the chief eunuch of the inner court who was as fat as a goldfish and wearing a red robe.

“Your Highness Prince Yi, Your Highness Prince Yi, what are you doing...?” Fang She received a report from below and was curious so he ran over to ask.

Zhou Chang had already prepared his words: "I am short of food in my palace, so I came to borrow some from my father's palace."

“???” Fang She’s two goldfish eyes almost popped out.

"My son is hungry and has nothing to eat. Come back to my house to find something to eat." Zhou Chang was afraid that the other party would not understand the meaning, so he translated it again in a simple and rough manner.

"This..." Fang She's goldfish eyes twitched, and he struggled to control them so that they could glance at the thin monkey's shoulder. He stammered for a long time before he managed to utter a word, "Your Highness, it's fine even if you need some things in the palace, but... what are those?"

"Those?" Zhou Chang didn't even look at them, as if it was a matter of course. "My palace is still short of tableware, so those are temporarily borrowed. I'm sure that General Manager Fang also knows about them. When you need them, you can come to my palace to get them back."

"Uh..." Fang She wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It's not that Prince Yi is difficult to deal with, it's just that he has never encountered such a thing before.

Zhou Chang was more calm: "I will never embarrass the chief steward. The chief steward can go and ask my father if he agrees or not, saying that I have borrowed some plates and bowls to live on."

Fang She stood there without moving, mainly not knowing how to react.

"Please trouble you, General Manager Fang. I will wait here." Zhou Chang seemed to be sure of success.

“Then, then…” Fang She’s goldfish eyes rolled out of their sockets, “Then I’ll go, I’ll be back soon.”

As he spoke, he quickly walked away, leading a group of young eunuchs behind him.

Zhou Chang watched Fang She leave, then turned around and continued walking out of the palace: "Monkey, let's go."

The imperial guards guarding the Donghua Gate were right in front of them, and one who looked like the leader stepped forward to stop them: "Your Highness Prince Yi, would you like to wait for Eunuch Fang?"

"Why do you want me to wait for him?" Zhou Chang asked back.

"Uh..." The imperial guards also heard the conversation between the two men, but the leader was speechless and could only smile apologetically.

Prince Yi Fengming is no longer favored by Emperor Lin, but he is still a prince, and they cannot offend him easily.

Zhou Chang sneered: "Just wait here. If His Majesty can really say 'no', then let Fang She come to Prince Yi's mansion to ask for it."

After saying that, he ignored him and strode out of the palace with the skinny monkey.

The two men came to the carriage. The skinny monkey first put the things on the ground, then walked around to the back of the carriage, opened a large wooden box that was tied to the back all year round, and put all the things in it: "Look, Your Majesty, this wooden box is already in use."

Zhou Chang knew that this big wooden box was used by Prince Yi Fengming to beg for alms at any time. He could not say anything now, so he could only say, "When we return to the palace, move the plates and bowls inside to the back hall directly, and do not give them to Mr. Zhong."

The skinny monkey tied up the box again and helped Zhou Chang onto the carriage: "Your Majesty, don't you want to pawn these things?"

Zhou Chang was ashamed. The Yiwang Mansion was living so poorly that it had to pawn its property. However, this batch of goods was for the customers in the plane, so he made up a lie: "I plan to use these to offer sacrifices to the gods, so that I can make a lot of money in the future."

There will be more opportunities to "promote goods" in the future. As Prince Yi, he cannot do without the participation of Skinny Monkey, so she needs a long-term reason.

"Sacrifice to Heaven?" The skinny monkey had never heard his prince mention it before.

"Don't ask. It won't work if you ask." Zhou Chang threatened and dived into the carriage.

The carriage returned to Prince Yi's Mansion.

As usual, Zhou Chang was tossed about all over the place, feeling dizzy and swollen, so he went back to his bedroom to straighten himself up.

Skinny Monkey has always been Prince Yi's most capable assistant. He carried the things from the west door to the bedroom as instructed.

Zhou Chang sent the people away and began to think while walking around a pile of silver plates and bowls.

According to her personality, she wanted to transfer it immediately, but for safety reasons, she decided to wait until nighttime. This way, if she was found to have disappeared for no reason tomorrow, she would have a better excuse.

Just when he made up his mind, Duofu Duobao came to report that the owner of the Siwei Medicine Shop, Fu Mingfu, wanted to see him.

Zhou Chang is gradually digging into Prince Yi Fengming's memory. Apart from Yuan Qi's affairs, the person she wants to see most these days is this person. Unexpectedly, before she has time to meet him, this person comes to her on his own initiative. "The longest relationship I've ever had is with myself. I love myself, and I have no rivals."
