Walking in the inner courtyard of the palace, I secretly found the courtyard where the Crown Prince was located.

The courtyard door was closed, and there was only a faint light inside.

"Knock knock knock."

An Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Buwei, the night watchman in the courtyard, heard the noise and came to open the door. The moment he opened the door, Buwei walked out of the courtyard when he saw the visitor, frowning slightly and showing surprise.

"An Yi, why are you here? Aren't you protecting Mrs. Cheng?"

"Ms. Cheng is here too, but it's not convenient to enter the palace at night. Miss Cheng has brought a big gift to the prince. Have you gone to bed?"

Buwei nodded, "I have already gone to bed. But if the little lady Cheng comes, I have to go and ask if I want to meet her."

After Buwei finished speaking, he quickly ran back to the courtyard, tiptoed to the door and knocked on the door, "Knock, knock, knock, sir, are you asleep?"

"Come in."

Zhou Ting's clear voice came, and Buwei smiled and pushed the door open. He stood at the entrance and lowered his head to report.

"Master, An Yi is here. He said that Mrs. Cheng is also here and has brought you a big gift. Do you want to see her?"

Zhou Ting stood up, hurriedly put on his shoes and walked out of the screen to the entrance, "Who did you say is here?"

"Sir, it's Mrs. Cheng who has sent you a gift." He bowed even deeper, "Do you want to see me?"

"See you! Wait for me to change my clothes."

Zhou Ting walked back quickly, not following closely behind; he got a black suit and put it on for him, with matching trousers and a cloak.

As soon as he was dressed, Zhou Ting strode away.

"Sir, please slow down, it's hard to walk at night." Buwei hurried to keep up, even forgetting to carry a lantern.

"Father."

Zhou Ting walked to the door of the courtyard, secretly lowered his eyes and bowed.

"Let's go." He passed the other person and walked straight to the path, taking a shortcut to the front yard.

Not wanting to be left far behind, he hurriedly trotted to catch up.

Walking out of the front yard, passing through the vestibule, and arriving at the gate of Prince Zhou's Mansion; Zhou Ting's eyes instantly fixed on Ming Yi, who was wearing a light green cotton coat. However, he hadn't seen her for just a few hours, and he felt that it had been too long.

"Mingyi!"

Zhou Ting strode forward and stopped in front of Mingyi.

Mingyi smiled brightly and pulled Zhou Ting towards the cart where the tiger was placed.

"Chaosheng, I'm here to give you a gift. An Yi and I shot a big cat on the mountain. It's very fat. The whole body of the big cat is full of treasures. Its fur can be used as a mattress, and the tiger whip can be soaked in wine and used as medicine. Eating tiger meat can strengthen your body, and soaking tiger bones in wine is also a good thing.”

Cheng Yuanxi and others only had time to bow and greet him, but could not say any words of greeting; they had already followed Mingyi to the cart.

Under the darkness, only the lantern hanging at the door of the mansion was barely lighting.

Even so, Zhou Ting could clearly see the size of the entire big cat, which was larger than the overall area of ​​the tablet.

"Chaosheng, big cats shouldn't be a rare thing in your northwest. However, the game we hunted today is the best. Don't dislike it."

Zhou Ting shook his head slightly, lowered his head and looked at her with soft eyes, "No, I don't dislike it. I like it very much. I like it very much."

Because you gave it to me.

These words were never spoken. The weather was cold in the night, but my heart was warm.

Mingyi smiled brightly, pulled his sleeve and shook it, "As long as you like it, the big cat has been delivered. My father and I are going to the night market. We will go home after visiting the night market. Chaosheng, please go back to bed." go."

"You want to visit the night market?"

"Yes, I haven't seen what the night market is like. I want to go there; dad agreed to take me there, and my eldest uncle, second uncle, and cousins ​​will also go." Zhou Ting opened his mouth and said that he would go too; but he As a sick and frail prince, if others knew about going shopping with her, he would be fine, and Mingyi would be fine if he did.

Before his status is determined, he cannot be too indulgent.

"Okay, have fun if you like. I'll have the palace's carriage waiting for you at the exit of the night market. When you come out, take the carriage back faster and rest early when you get home."

"Yeah, dad, let's go quickly."

Mingyi ran back to her father, pulling him to leave.

I stared at the tiger on the cart with an embarrassed look on my face. It was indeed a good thing, but I couldn't move it with the prince.

Fortunately, without any embarrassment, An Yi, Cheng Yuandong and others cooperated and sent the tiger to the gate of the palace and put it away before leaving.

Zhou Ting watched the people go away, but was reluctant to go back.

"Master, it's cold at night, come back." Buwei stepped forward to urge him.

"Yes." Nian Nian reluctantly looked away. Zhou Ting glanced at the big cat and said, "I ordered people to clean it up overnight. I want the tiger skin to be intact and not to be injured at all."

I nodded my head in response.

Zhou Ting strode back to the palace, following closely behind him and paying attention to whether his master's feet were safe.

The concierge called for someone to move the tiger into the palace and told the prince's order. That night, the craftsmen of Prince Zhou's palace could not sleep peacefully.

Taking care of a tiger is not as simple as skinning it. Peeling the fur off immediately is a technical job.

The tiger's meat, bones, tiger penis, etc. must be preserved after being picked out; the next day, experienced doctors will make tiger bone paste, tiger bone powder, and tiger bone wine.

There are many things that can be made from tiger bones alone, and they have good effects on the human body. They can strengthen muscles and bones, dispel wind and relieve pain, and calm and soothe the mind.

The effect is good and many steps are required.

Night market entrance.

Mingyi was exaggerated by the lively atmosphere in the night market, broke away from her father's hand, and ran into the crowd.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingli hurriedly used Qinggong to keep up.

Cheng Yuanxi shouted anxiously, "Mingli, watch Yiyi and don't let her run around."

Cheng Mingli heard it, but had no time to reply; his attention was entirely on his sister. The little girl was dressed in cotton clothes and looked around. Everything she saw was interesting.

When Mingyi stopped in front of a shadow puppet show stall, Cheng Mingli finally caught up with her. He didn't care about watching the shadow puppet show or what others thought, so he immediately held her hand tightly.

"Sister, you ran too fast and scared me and dad."

Mingyi turned around with a smile, her brows filled with joy, and others could see how happy she was.

"Brother, the night market is fun, let's go eat delicious food."

"Okay, but you can't get rid of me." As he said this, Cheng Mingli squeezed her palm tightly, never letting her run away again.

"Know it!"

Mingyi pulled her brother into the crowd again, looking for delicious food.

The barbecue in the northwest is outstanding. Mingyi ate the meat from three barbecue stalls in a row. The mutton and beef were both very delicious.

The northwest is close to the grassland, and the people in the grassland are best at raising cattle and sheep. Due to the geographical feng shui, the cattle and sheep raised have no fishy smell and are particularly delicious.

If you want to eat authentic northwest beef and mutton in nearby places, you need to spend a lot of money, and many times you can't buy it even if you have money.

"Brother, the meat here is delicious." Mingyi's mouth was stained with oil when she ate it. She, who always loves to be clean, did not wipe it off, but ate it with relish.

Cheng Mingli watched his sister eating happily, and he was also very satisfied with the meal; the meat he ate was very different from what he had eaten before.
