About an hour later, Tang Zhentian arrived at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, and only Zhao She accompanied him.

"What a smell!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, Tang Zhentian smelled a fragrance coming towards him and couldn't help but frown.

Is the kitchen in Prince Wu's mansion broken? How come the fragrance can reach the door?

With a doubtful attitude, Tang Zhentian slowly walked into King Wu's Palace.

At this time, everyone in the palace went out to catch insects. Except for a few people from Liuliyuan, the rest were not there. Naturally, no one knew that Tang Zhentian had arrived.

Following the source of the fragrance, Tang Zhentian and Zhao She walked all the way from the front hall to Liuli Garden, and saw the people sitting in a group at a glance.

Wow, it's quite lively. There are so many people here, Tang Tianyu, Tang Tianling, Tang Tianxing, Princess Wu, Princess Wen, Princess Wen's concubine, Princess Pingyang, all gathered together, and I don't know what they are whispering about.

"Cough cough~"

Zhao She couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this. How could it be so awkward for so many princes, princesses and consorts to gather together like this?

When everyone heard Zhao She's cough, they finally reacted and turned around quickly. Then, the place suddenly became quiet.

Even Tang Tianyu didn't notice Tang Zhentian's arrival. Since he was in his own house, he had focused his mind and naturally didn't notice it.

"Clap!"

I don't know which one of them saw the emperor coming and dropped the string in his hand to the ground, which woke up the dazed people.

"My son... I have met my father!"

For a moment, everyone except Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli was at a loss, holding the skewers in their hands and bowing.

"Um...you...you are eating these things?"

Noticing the various insects in everyone's hands, Tang Zhentian couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

God, what kind of children did I give birth to?

They sat together in broad daylight to eat these things. Could it be that the food of our royal family was so bad? How could they be so hungry that they would not choose what to eat!

Especially Tang Linger, this girl had grease stains on the corners of her mouth, she didn't look like a princess at all.

"How come you have time to come to my place today, father?"

After a while, Tang Tianyu stood up with some doubt. Shouldn't the emperor be very busy? Why did he come here? And he only brought Eunuch Zhao with him.

"What? Not welcome?"

"Welcome... Welcome."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Wen Liuli also slowly stood up at this time. This was the first time he met Tang Zhentian.

Is this the emperor? He is indeed very domineering.

"No gift!"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Tang Zhentian was stunned, then looked at her.

It turns out that she is Wen Liuli, and she is quite pretty.

But what is that in her hand? A centipede? Why is it so weird?

Could it be that all the people on Blue Star rely on these things to survive?

First it was the locusts, and now there are all these messy things. The people on Blue Planet are really weird.

"Father, would you like to try it too? It's delicious."

At this moment, Tang Linger suddenly ran to Tang Zhentian with two strings of flower spiders and waved them in front of his eyes.

"Forehead……"

He had eaten locusts before, and they tasted delicious, but this spider...

Is this thing non-toxic?

But Ling'er seemed to be eating it with great relish.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Tang Zhentian took the flower spider from Tang Linger's hand with some trembling, but he just couldn't bring himself to eat it.

"Zhao She, you eat first."

After a long while, Tang Zhentian still couldn't make up his mind, so he had no choice but to hand one of the strings to Zhao She.

Zhao She also swallowed his saliva at this time. To be honest, he was very scared, but since His Majesty had said so, how could a servant dare not disobey?

So, Zhao She slowly closed his eyes and bit off one of them with a fearless look.

"Ok?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao She's eyes began to glow with gold, and he looked at the extremely ugly thing in his hand with some disbelief.

This thing seems to taste better than grasshoppers! Is it because of the cooking method?

Just as he thought, barbecue is sometimes better than fried food, otherwise why would Tang Tianyu and the others be sitting together like this.

"Your Majesty, this tastes wonderful!"

In fact, he didn't even need to say it, Tang Zhentian had already seen it from his expression.

But knowing that something tastes good is one thing, and whether you dare to eat it is another.

This thing is different from a locust. Although both are ugly, locusts are at least non-toxic, right?

You can tell this spider is poisonous just by looking at its color, but is it really edible?

Of course, this thing is really poisonous, and Wen Liuli knows it better than anyone else.

But it’s no big deal if you eat less, it’s not like you are eating it as a meal.

Just like these various insects in front of us, in fact, the only poisonous ones are centipedes and flower spiders.

The flower spider itself is also a medicinal herb that can reduce swelling, relieve pain and treat snake venom.

If you eat too much, you can easily die.

Although it doesn’t taste very good by itself, when paired with barbecue seasonings, the bitter taste can become fragrant.

Moreover, the head and feet have been removed, so even if the remaining parts are poisonous, they will not kill people.

In the end, Tang Zhentian was drooling at the sight, so he finally made up his mind to take a bite.

Thus, one more person was added to the huge group of people sitting together.

It took everyone several hours to finish the barbecue before they all touched their bloated bellies. It was not until the afternoon that Tang Tianyu ordered people to remove the barbecue grill in the yard.

This meal cost them nearly half of the imperial city's savings.

Fortunately, the servants kept bringing food from outside, otherwise it might not be enough for them to eat.

"Hey, now that we're full, how about we play some mahjong?"

After wiping the oil stains from the corners of her mouth and looking at the people around her, Tang Linger suddenly made a suggestion.

Her proposal immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her. Except for Lin Buyao, everyone else looked at her with confusion.

What is Mahjong?

But Lin Buyao twitched her lips when she heard that, and she said she would not play this time no matter what, as she lost badly last time.

It was only Tang Ling'er, a local rich man. Ordinary people could not afford such a loss.

On the other hand, Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu's eyes lit up when they heard this. Playing mahjong is great!

I was just worrying about being embarrassed to ask you for money for food, and yet you come bringing it to my door.

After a while, two guards carried out two tables from the house, and the people present were divided into two tables.

Tang Tianyu, Tang Tianling, Tang Tianxing, and Tang Zhentian sat at one table. Wen Liuli, the two concubines of King Wen, and Tang Linger sat at another table.

As for Lin Buyao, she refused to sit at the table no matter what, and finally sat next to Wen Liuli.

I can also take this opportunity to learn Wen Liuli's card skills. Maybe I can win money in the future?

Fortunately, with the experience of winning money last time, Wen Liuli deliberately asked someone to make a few more sets of mahjong, and was also preparing to let Tang Tianyu send them to the palace.

Now is just right, so many people can sit together and play.

So, there were nine people at the two tables, and they spent the entire afternoon playing mahjong.

In the end, of course, Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu won a great victory.

The one who lost the most was Tang Linger. This girl looked down on small cards and only wanted to win big, which led to her losing the most, losing nearly a hundred taels of silver.

The two concubines of King Wen lost twenty or thirty taels each. They were so distressed that they almost cried.

Looking at the battle situation at Tang Tianyu's table, it was surprising that in addition to Tang Tianyu, Tang Tianling, as a beginner, also won, and won a lot, which should be enough to make his two wives lose as much.

This is a crushing IQ, which makes Tang Tianxing and Tang Zhentian suffer.

However, although they lost money, the two did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, they fell in love with the game.

Especially Tang Zhentian, he was still thinking about bringing this form of entertainment into the harem, so that the concubines could play mahjong when they had nothing to do, and play less tricks, so as to avoid giving him a headache when listening to them.

In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time again. As there were many people in the palace today, the kitchen was extra busy and prepared a whole table full of delicious dishes. They were all Blue Star dishes that Wen Liuli taught the chef some time ago.

There were braised pork, boiled fish, spicy chicken, sour radish and duck soup. The table was full of everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water.

Seeing these things, Tang Zhentian felt relieved. Finally, there were some normal things.

The insects are delicious, but they don’t look that good. The dishes in front of me are really good in color, aroma and taste.

"Don't be so reserved, let's treat today as a family dinner, start eating!"

Looking at the table full of delicious food, everyone has already started drooling, but the emperor hasn't picked up his chopsticks yet, so even if they want to eat, they have to hold it back.

After hearing Tang Zhentian's words, everyone relaxed and put their chopsticks on the table.

"Wow! This fish is so tender..."

"Huh? Is this pork? Why does it taste so good?"

"What kind of meat is this? It's just a small piece, but it's so fragrant and spicy!"

"Uh...uh...uh..."

Although all the people present were from the royal family, where had they ever eaten such Blue Star delicacies? They all devoured the food voraciously.

However, Wen Liuli couldn't help but smile when she saw the way everyone was eating.

Eat, eat. The more you eat, the better my restaurant business will be in the future.

She had already made plans to firmly grasp the stomachs of these people. These were all big customers. As long as they were willing to eat, why would I worry about my restaurant not being able to operate?

This day could be said to be the most comfortable day Tang Zhentian had ever had as an emperor. There were no trivial court affairs, no annoying fights in the harem, only a few family members sitting together eating barbecue and playing mahjong.

When he returned to the palace, it was already late at night, and he brought with him two sets of mahjong from Prince Wu's palace.

He planned to send it to the harem so that the concubines could play with it as well.

After this day, Tang Zhentian also had a different opinion of Wen Liuli. The wonders of Blue Star are so great that I am afraid that what I have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.

I wonder if I’ll have the chance to visit it in the future?
