The Travelers of the Heavens

Luoyi, Qinzheng Hall of Taishi Mansion

""Okay, okay, you can't whisper to each other in the court." Seeing the ministers' discussion getting louder and louder, Wang Yu scolded.

After hearing this, the ministers gradually stopped talking.

"All the ministers are the pillars of the imperial court. This empire for all eternity depends on your support. The grand master will not treat his meritorious ministers badly," Wang Yu said

"Thank you so much, Grand Master." All the ministers expressed their thanks one after another.

"Well, do you have anything else to report?"Wang Yu asked

"No more." The ministers looked at each other, and several of them said

""Okay, then let's retire from the court and return to the official offices." Wang Yu said and walked out of the hall.

In the palace, Ji Ban did not find any concubines to sleep with him last night. It was not that he did not want to find one, but that the concubines were too tired after a long journey. There is no spare time to wait for Ji Ban to sleep, but Ji Ban can only spend a boring night.

""Come here!" Ji Ban woke up and suddenly felt hungry, so he shouted

""Your Majesty," an eunuch ran in to listen to the order.

"I'm a little hungry. Go and pass the food on," she said like a princess.

""Yes, I will order the meal to be passed on." The eunuch responded respectfully and ran to pass the message.

The Shangshan Bureau is the kitchen of the palace, and the cooks in the bureau have a lot of background. They are all the disciples and grandsons of Liu Angxing and others. Although Many of them only learned a little bit, but it was enough for them to work as imperial chefs in the palace.

The Shangshan Bureau was not close to Ji Ban's palace, so the eunuchs relayed messages.

The imperial chefs of the Shangshan Bureau had already prepared meals. Various exquisite foods were put into small steamers and then carried to the palace by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Ji Ban also washed up under the waiters of the palace maids and eunuchs, and then moved to a side hall to sit down and wait for the meal to be served.

"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready." The eunuch came in to announce

""Pass it on," Ji Ban put down the tea bowl in his hand and signaled.

The eunuch turned to the door and waved. Twelve palace maids entered the palace one after another, placed the small steamer on the huge table and opened the lid. Another eunuch placed the steamer on the huge table.

Pure silver bowls, chopsticks and other tableware were placed in front of Ji Ban. The silver used to make these tableware was not ordinary silver. It was made from raw materials provided by Wang Yu and made by capable craftsmen. These tableware can be used to test for poisons, and Very sensitive. This also eliminates the need for eunuchs to taste the food. In fact, all the tableware of Zhou Tianzi has the function of testing poison, including the tea bowl he just used.

In Wang Yu's words, how could this be called a dirty and despicable person? Eat food from nobles. This was just a joke from Wang Yu. He thought it was outrageous to risk his life just to have a meal.

""Your Majesty, please." A palace maid held a small bowl with a crystal dough siomai and placed it in front of Ji Ban.

Ji Ban picked up the chopsticks and put the siomai into his mouth. After chewing two mouthfuls, he nodded and said it tasted good.

Then he moved towards another person. The pastry cast a look. The palace maid understood and put another xiaolongbao in a bowl before Ji Ban. The filling of this steamed bun is made of flower beef, and the imperial chef who made this steamed bun is the disciple of old Luo Gen.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this meal?" The eunuch saw that Ji Ban had almost eaten, and he asked tentatively.

"Good, very good." Ji Ban was so impressed that he nodded in praise.

"These chefs are really skilled people." He then took a sip of tea and said again

"Your Majesty, these imperial chefs were all found by the Grand Master, and they are the best chefs in the world," the eunuch said.

""Okay, okay, that's what I want," Ji Ban wiped his mouth again and said.

Since Emperor Zhou didn't have to deal with government affairs, he had a lot of time to enjoy himself, so after he finished eating, he was led to visit the palace.

The palace occupies a vast area. It was unrealistic to rely on walking, so the eunuchs passed on chariots and carriages. The carriage that took Ji Ban to visit the palace was a carriage with four horses and no carriage but an umbrella cover. It was driven by a charioteer. The car is relatively light.

In order to facilitate the passage of the carriage, all the door thresholds of the palace are removable, so Ji Ban can travel unimpeded in the carriage.

When the carriage came to a huge pond, Ji Ban signaled to stop. This is also The largest pond in the palace contained some fat golden and silver arowanas.

At this time, three boys and girls by the pond saw Ji Ban coming and ran to greet him.

It turned out that these boys and girls They turned out to be Prince Pan and two empresses.

""Father," the sixteen-year-old prince Pan respectfully saluted

""Father," the two emperors and concubines also followed the prince and bowed to Ji Ban.

"Well, free." Ji Ban didn't get out of the car and just waved casually.

"Prince, have you met your mother?" Ji Ban asked

"To report back to my father, I have already been there, but my mother has not gotten up yet, so I was unable to pay her respects," Prince Pan said.

"Well, let's go." Ji Ban nodded and motioned for Yushou to continue walking.

""I send you my father the best." Prince Pan and the two emperors bowed their heads in salute. It wasn't until the carriage was far away that they returned to the pond to watch and feed the fish.

It turned out that these three children were also visiting the palace like their father.

"Your Majesty, ahead is the Garden of Strange Beasts." Arriving in front of a tall palace wall, the eunuch pointed to the gate not far away and said

"oh? Let me go and have a look." Ji Ban was very interested.

""Yes." The eunuch led the carriage along the gate and entered the exotic beast garden. When

Ji Ban entered the exotic beast garden, he first saw a huge black and white round bear-like animal leaning on it in a cage with an animal house. Eating fruit under a tree

"What is this?"Ji Ban has never seen this kind of animal before, he asked

""Your Majesty, this thing is called the Iron-eating Beast." The eunuch looked at the words on the wooden sign standing not far away and said to Ji Ban.

"Iron-eating beast? Do you eat ironware?"Ji Ban asked

"No, no, your Majesty has misunderstood. This creature feeds on bamboo, fruits and vegetables. Because its mouth is quite powerful, it is said that it can bite off iron objects. Due to false rumors, it is called an iron-eating beast." The eunuch looked at the wooden sign. A brief introduction, and then said to Ji Ban

""I see. It's just a rumor. I thought this beast could really eat iron," Ji Ban said.

"Haha." The eunuch smiled and said nothing.

"Um? What is that giant beast?"After walking a short distance, Ji Ban saw a giant beast eating fresh branches and leaves in a huge wooden trough in a thick iron fence, and he asked again

"Um, this.. Your Majesty, please give this slave a visit." After the eunuch said this, he went to find the wooden sign.

As a result, he searched for a long time but could not find the wooden sign introducing this giant beast. He was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain it.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don’t know what kind of beast this is. I heard that it is a strange beast captured by His Highness the King of Xining." The eunuch quickly confessed his crime.

""Okay, okay, what do you, a little eunuch, know? I don't blame you. Ask the King of Xining later." Ji Ban waved his hand.

"Yes, thank you for your grace." The eunuch quickly thanked him.

The giant beast they saw was not from the current world, but a giant beast that Wang Yu captured alive from prehistoric times. It was called the Hammer-nosed Thunder Beast and looked like a rhinoceros. But it's much bigger than a rhinoceros. Wang Yu called this giant beast a big-horned rhinoceros.
