Zhang Ling gently pushed the gate of the courtyard, but it was locked. That was really not trustworthy. Zhang Ling originally thought that if someone was guarding him, he would give you the face to climb over the wall, but since you don't believe it, I won't either. To save face, Zhang Ling raised his foot and kicked the courtyard members to pieces.
Zhang Ling looked around and recalled the map of the palace he had seen. To the east from this small courtyard was the Jin'an Hall, where all the officials went, and to the north was the harem where the concubines lived. Neither could go.
Zhang Ling's feet were spinning, and he suddenly remembered that to the west was the imperial dining room. According to theory, at this point, the imperial chef should be preparing cakes to present to the emperor after the morning court. He happened to come to the palace early in the morning and hadn't eaten yet, so he took this time to make up for his meal. .
An hour later, a fat man in robes entered the imperial dining room and rummaged around the stove, but couldn't find the plates of prepared cakes. He hurriedly asked a person with a round body who was taller than him. The fat man who was slightly inferior to Qiu Fat shouted: "Zhao Jiuan, did you eat it secretly? That is to be presented to His Majesty. You are really brave."
The little fat man Zhao Jiuan hurriedly waved his hands and said in panic: "Liu Shanzheng, it's not me. I don't know where I went."
The fat man who was over 40 years old was named Liu Shi. He was in charge of the imperial dining room. He grabbed the little fat man's collar and asked: "You were the only one in the imperial dining room just now. Who else could you have? Oh, could it be that I should give it to you?" You forgot to do it, right?"
The little fat man said even more anxiously: "I really don't know. He was there just now, and he disappeared just as I turned around."
Just as Liu Shan was about to ache in pain, the two of them suddenly heard a burp clearly. They looked up at the beams of the room. A young man was sitting on it, patted his belly, turned over, and handed over several plates in his hands. To Liu Shi.
It was Zhang Ling who came to the emperor's kitchen to make up for the meal, but he changed into a vest and a human skin mask. This one looked a few years older than the original one, and not as handsome as before, but he was still handsome and extraordinary. Wu Zhi said that the more beautiful the human skin mask is, the more inferior it is. An ordinary person's face often has many wrinkles and wrinkles, which makes people think that the appearance is ordinary. It is especially difficult to make for the elderly, and it can even cover up oneself. It turns out that the aura is nothing more than Qinggong Fuyao, so there is no need for good ones. However, Zhang Ling originally wanted to get a few ordinary ones, so that they would not be too eye-catching. In the end, he spent a thousand taels to get an ordinary one. Human beings, thinking about using it when traveling around the world, would not want to part with it.
Zhang Ling raised his throat, patted his chest again, and asked more carefully: "Is there any water? You are so dry that you are choking."
When the two imperial chefs were in a daze, Liu Shi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the fat man in his hand, slapped it on the stove, and asked angrily: "Is this what you eat?"
Zhang Ling nodded, ignored it, and went to get a bowl of water and a bowl of chicken soup to go with the intestines. Unfortunately, it was cooked yesterday and was already cold, so the taste was not delicious enough. When his chest felt better, Zhang Ling looked back at the two The fat man smiled and said: "Oh, don't be so stingy. It's just a few plates of pastries. How about I give you money and you can make a few more plates yourself?"
Liu Shanzheng said angrily: "You, you, you! You just don't know how to live or die. This is prepared for His Majesty. Do you know how complicated the process of these pastries is? Each one must prepare the ingredients one day in advance. How can you make it just as you say?" ? Okay now, you ate the pastry, what do you think I should do? Maybe I won’t be able to be the royal chef anymore."
Zhang Ling patted his shoulder and chuckled: "Relax, your Majesty is not that stingy, and he is also a martial arts practitioner after all. Let alone a few plates of cakes, he will not die even if he is hungry for several days."
Liu Shanzheng suddenly changed his attitude and did not stop Zhang Ling from criticizing His Majesty. After hearing his words, he even met the Emperor, and asked in an easy-going voice: "I wonder who the Young Master is?"
Zhang Ling thought for a while and said hehe, "I'm just a scholar, but I guess I'll be an official after today."
Liu Shan was feeling confused and was about to ask for their names when he saw the other party stretched out his hands and knocked on their foreheads. He subconsciously closed his eyes. However, when he opened his eyes again, the boy in front of him had disappeared. Liu Shan was looking towards them. The little fat man asked: "Where are the people?"
Zhao Jiuan shook his head: "I don't know either, she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The two of them turned around, looked around, and ran out of the imperial dining room quickly. Unfortunately, no matter how fast the two fat men moved, they were faster than Zhang Ling, who used Qinggong to escape every time. After a long time, they only became familiar with their legs.
Zhang Ling leisurely walked along the lakeside lined with willows, calculating the time to return with his fingers, when he suddenly saw four people coming from the far side. There were two people in front of him, a man and a woman. The man wore a crown and robe with shoes, and the dark lines on the skirt were clear, and the woman's fragrant hair and temples were reflected. , but the ornaments are relatively simple, the steps are dignified, and the appearance is charming. Gu Bu Sheng Pan is only inferior to Rouge Shuangjue. There are also two eunuchs and maids accompanying her, which shows that her status is extraordinary.
Zhang Ling glanced briefly and walked around him. The young man suddenly shouted: "Stop."
Zhang Ling turned to look at him and said softly: "Is something wrong?"
The young man said angrily: "You don't know how to salute when you see this prince?"
Zhang Ling carefully looked up and down the man who was behaving like a dandy, thought about it carefully, and said: "I have seen the prince. The eldest prince is at the border and has practiced martial arts. He must be in good health, so you are a waste." Prince Chen Zuliang, as for the person next to him, he should be Princess Pei Jin Chen Yueying."
Princess Pei Jin saw that this young man was neither humble nor arrogant when she saw the prince and princess, and she suddenly became curious. Just when she was about to ask, Chen Zuliang said angrily: "How dare you call this prince a waste, Xiao Yuzi, give him a beating."
The eunuch behind him stepped forward and punched out with force. He could be considered a martial arts practitioner, but he didn't even qualify for the rank of martial arts. Zhang Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed it, then swung it again. Throw him aside on the lawn.
Zhang Ling looked at him and said: "Seeing as you couldn't help yourself and suffered the disaster because of being with the wrong master, I won't throw you into the lake, but you are a really bad prince, and you don't even have a low-class person around you." There are no masters.”
Chen Zuliang felt like he had been slapped in the face, and became even more angry. He pointed at Zhang Ling and said, "How dare you fight back? If you don't kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake to me today, believe it or not, you won't be able to leave the palace."
Zhang Ling smiled disdainfully and said, "Your father and I didn't even kneel down, how can you deserve it?"
Zhang Ling directly grabbed Chen Zuliang's fingers and pulled them apart. He immediately made him kneel on the ground and complained, and cursed: "You have a mother but no father to teach you. You are really brave. Not only did you attack this prince, but you also dared to be disrespectful to His Majesty." .”
Zhang Ling looked gloomy and stepped on Chen Zuliang's back, making him lie on the ground. He bent his upper hand even more and screamed in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, let go quickly."
Zhang Ling didn't let go but pushed harder and said in a cold voice: "Kowtow to my parents and apologize, otherwise I will be crippled, believe it or not."
