Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Then the skinny monkey helped Zhou Chang change his clothes, combed his long hair again and put on a crown.

Then the skinny monkey went to prepare the carriage, while Zhou Chang stood alone at the gate of Prince Yi's mansion feeling depressed.

He is so poor! There is no prince poorer than Prince Yi.

The gate of Prince Yi's Palace is half the size of Prince Duan's Palace, and the size of the entire palace is barely two-thirds of that of Prince Duan's Palace.

There are also two white jade lions at the door. The left one is missing half an ear, and the right one is missing half a leg.

"It's so shabby, really shabby." This is still the residence of a prince.

Zhou Chang's teeth ached from sucking, and she became even more furious. Prince Yi allowed herself to be so poor, but she couldn't.

After a while, there was a clanging sound, and the skinny monkey drove the carriage from the side of the palace.

Zhou Chang then noticed the two culprits that were responsible for the clanking noise in the carriage.

"It's better to take down this bell. What's the use of it?" Zhou Chang looked at the copper bell hanging on the front of the carriage.

The skinny monkey jumped off the carriage and put the footstool on the ground. "How can this be? Your Highness forgot that it was you who ordered this to be hung. Didn't you almost hit the child in Xinghuafang, West City?"

Zhou Chang had nothing to say, and pointed to the back: "Then there's no need to carry the wooden box every day. This carriage is not sturdy to begin with."

The carriage of Prince Yi Fengming was about to fall apart, but a large wooden box that could hold people was tied to the back of the carriage. A ladder was tied under the wooden box. When the carriage started running, it bumped up and down, forward and backward, and with the bells in front, the noise was comparable to that of a herd of mad cattle.

"Didn't the prince say that he would go to the palace to find food today? What if there is too much and can't fit it all in? We have to rely on this box for the wild fruits and vegetables we picked in the past." As the skinny monkey said this, he not only did not take down the wooden box, but tightened the rope again.

"How many things would it take to need such a big wooden box?" Zhou Chang complained in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

These were all the "good things" done by Prince Yi, and she couldn't change too much in a short period of time.

The skinny monkey patted the dust off his hands and helped Zhou Chang get on the carriage: "But, Your Majesty, our carriage really needs to be replaced. It can't be completely repaired and will break down sooner or later."

Zhou Chang also knew this, but he had no money, so he had to keep silent.

Afterwards, the two entered the palace.

Zhou Chang first took the skinny monkey to the imperial kitchen for a tour, but the result was different from what he had imagined.

No one knew where the ready-made food in the imperial kitchen had gone, and there was not even a decent cup or plate to be seen. I didn't know if I had come at the wrong time.

"Your Highness, I guess the food has been sent to the Council Hall by now. I heard that the ministers in the court sometimes have several meals there a day, and all the money they spend is from the palace." Skinny Monkey's mind would be particularly flexible whenever it came to food issues.

The lowest quality food in the palace is better than the cooking of Wang Mama, the cook in Prince Yi's mansion.

"The Council Hall? Yes, that's right, let's go to the Council Hall." He couldn't remember it if it wasn't mentioned. But once it was mentioned, Zhou Chang immediately knew from Prince Yi's consciousness that it was the place where court officials discussed and handled state affairs after leaving court.

On weekdays, tea, snacks, fruits and other food are always available in the Council Hall for the ministers to enjoy.

Although Prince Yi Fengming had never set foot there in her memory, it was the most suitable place for her to find out what Emperor Lin had to say.

"You're right. Those guys had food and drinks in broad daylight. I'm afraid even lunch should be served by now." Zhou Chang thought more and more, "Let's go to the Council Hall. If we see food on a plate later, we must stop it."

"Okay, don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm here and I won't miss any of the food." The skinny monkey took out a large white cloth from his arms.

Zhou Chang brought the skinny monkey into the council hall, walking like bandits entering a village.

As soon as he entered the door, he attracted everyone's surprised and astonished gazes.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order to wash an Ice Crack Pen."

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a rosewood pen holder."

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a set of silver plates and bowls."

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a set of celadon teapots and teacups."

……

As I walked further inside, I could hear the prompts from the viewpoint system placing orders in my head.

Zhou Chang was only focused on the plates filled with cakes and fruits on the table, which were provided by the palace and not considered personal.

As for the four treasures of the study and teapots and teacups, they are all for personal use and it is not appropriate to just "take them away".

The Council Hall was extremely large and was divided into various independent areas, housing the three provinces and six ministries, each of which exercised its own administrative power.

Wherever Zhou Chang went, one could hear a pin drop.

Every glance that fell on Zhou Chang seemed to be able to suck away the air around her. In the vacuum-like silence, even blinking seemed to make a rustling sound.

Once raw, second time ripe.

I will have to do this kind of thing frequently in the future, otherwise how can I repay the commission loan?

On the other hand, the skinny monkey followed behind Zhou Chang without any psychological burden.

No matter what Zhou Chang handed him, he accepted it all, not only wrapping it in a cloth towel, but also putting it in his arms, and of course not forgetting to put it directly into his mouth.

Some officials who recognized Prince Yi tactfully avoided his gaze and pretended nothing had happened, continuing to read the official documents. Some officials who had never seen Prince Yi before and did not know who the two were wanted to stop them, but were stopped by another official who knew them.

Skinny Monkey's big cloth towel was already filled with four plates of fruit and four plates of cakes, but since he took the plates and the cakes together, he couldn't pack much.

Zhou Chang was holding two plates of pastries in his hands, but he always felt that it was not enough.

"Use that." Zhou Chang pointed to a tablecloth on the largest table in the main hall.

The skinny monkey was even more decisive. He first put the package of eight plates on the ground, then went up and pulled them down, and then started searching again.

"Hey, all of you come here." Just then, a team of seven or eight eunuchs came in with trays full of food, and Zhou Chang intercepted them directly.

The leading eunuch obviously knew Prince Yi Fengming, and came over with a big smile on his face: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, what instructions does His Royal Highness have?"

"I have been ordered to put down the plates in your hands." Zhou Chang's order could not be simpler.

“This is…” The leading eunuch paused.

"What is this? Aren't they all for people to eat? Just go to the imperial kitchen and get some." Zhou Chang was not polite at all.

"Yes, yes," the leading eunuch did not dare to delay and turned around to call out to the eunuchs behind him, "I heard you all. Put down everything in your hands to His Royal Highness Prince Yi."

The eunuchs then obediently put down what they were holding. There were preserved fruits, cold dishes and various freshly baked cakes, which were a higher grade than what they had just searched. Zhou Chang was very satisfied.

The skinny monkey picked up the items quickly, put them on two plates, and then turned the tablecloth over to pack them up, and it became another big package.

Zhou Chang still felt that it was not enough, but he was also hungry, so he took the skinny monkey and carried two large packages, eating as they went out, preparing to go back to wait outside the imperial study. Just as he was about to go out from the north gate of the Council Hall, he saw a man with two people behind him, one of whom was walking towards him with a tray covered with red silk in his hand.

"Wait, what are these?" Zhou Chang decided to keep everything he could eat.

The first person, wearing a scarlet official robe and a black gauze hat, looked shrunken and immediately recognized Prince Yi Fengming. He bowed and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, this is a divination presented to Your Majesty."

"Carrots? Leave the carrots here." Zhou Chang did not recognize the man, and as he spoke, he began to remove the red silk cloth from the tray.

There are only about 10 or 20 things that are particularly unpleasant. ”
