Brother Zheng was very curious.
To be honest, he was looking forward to Zhao Yan's gift.
In the past, Zhao Yan had given him a few gifts. Whether it was the practical Seven Wolves Luxury Belt, the life-saving immortal pill, or the exquisitely crafted globe that was of great significance to Great Qin, each of them was extraordinary.
All in all, Zhao Yan's items were all new and rare.
Since it was a gift from her ancestors, it couldn't be bad, right?
Zhao Yan rummaged through his hide pocket and took out an exquisitely crafted red metal box.
"What is this?" Brother Zheng asked curiously.
Zhao Yan smiled and said," This is tea leaves. It's top-grade Da Hong Pao. This is good stuff."”
"Tea?" Brother Zheng could not help but frown.
In this era, Great Qin already had tea.
However, tea leaves were basically used as medicine.
Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and used tea to detoxify all kinds of poisons.
It was not that no one treated tea leaves as a drink, but this thing was definitely the aristocrat of drinks. Ordinary people really did not have the fortune to enjoy it.
On one hand, Great Qin focused on agriculture, so it lacked land and did not have the conditions to grow tea leaves on a large scale.
On the other hand, the way tea was drunk meant that it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Drinking tea was called drinking tea soup.
He threw the tea leaves into the cauldron, mixed them with various animal fats, and seasoned them with spices such as lanzhi, cardamom, and vanilla. After boiling, he drank them.
Just these materials alone were not something that ordinary people could afford.
This drinking method was actually a helpless move.
If he had known earlier, the tea leaves of this era did not have the technology of frying tea. Although the tea leaves were original, the taste was really ordinary.
The tea that was made tasted strange.
Therefore, other than a few weirdos with heavy tastes, most people really did not have a good impression of tea leaves.
Brother Zheng did not have a strong taste, so he did not have a good impression of tea leaves.
Previously, because of a minor illness, he was recommended by the imperial physician to drink tea for treatment. Now that he thought of the strange taste of the tea leaves, Brother Zheng felt that it was difficult to describe in words.
"You don't like this thing?" Zhao Yan asked unhappily when he noticed Brother Zheng's low spirits.”
It was a top-grade Da Hong Pao. It was rare even in the later generations.
The quality of the tea leaves produced by the system was at least on the same level as the tea leaves produced by the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain.
Even after 2,000 years, this thing would still be priceless.
No matter how high the price was, ordinary people would not have the chance to see it.
In terms of Great Qin's official position, one would have to be at least a Great Master before they dared to think about it.
Realizing that he was being too obvious, Brother Zheng couldn't help but laugh.”
Zhao Yan immediately beamed with joy.
"Come, let's try it now. This thing is my master's treasure. I've never drunk it before.”
Then, he called a few servants over and asked them to bring things over to boil water in the hall.
After the water boiled, Zhao Yan asked someone to bring two cups and carefully squeezed some tea leaves into the cups.
During this process, Brother Zheng had been watching Zhao Yan's actions with interest.
When he saw that Zhao Yan was simply using boiling water to brew the tea leaves, he could not help but ask curiously,
"The making of this tea is actually so simple?”
Zhao Yan said matter-of-factly," Master said that there are actually many things to pay attention to when drinking tea. There are also people who have nothing better to do who have specially researched a set of tea ceremonies. Drinking tea is just short of burning incense, bathing, and fasting for three days. However, it's just the two of us. We're family, so we won't do anything stupid.”
Brother Zheng nodded, feeling a little happy.
It was because of Zhao Yan's " family ".
He moved closer to Zhao Yan, and the father and son stared at the tea leaves in the cup with their heads facing each other.
After a while, Zhao Yan reached out his hand and touched the outer wall of the cup.
"It's almost time. Come, drink it while it's hot!”
He pushed a cup in front of Brother Zheng and said excitedly.
At the same time, he picked up a cup and drank the tea in it.
"Siliu…hetui!"
When his hand reached the cup, Zhao Yan spat out the tea leaves that he accidentally inhaled.
She had eaten a lot of meat just now, and her stomach was greasy.
After drinking a large cup of tea, the grease in her stomach melted like ice and snow.
Zhao Yan rubbed his warm belly with an intoxicated expression.
"Awesome!"
Brother Zheng also closed his eyes and quietly sensed it.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said,"It's indeed good stuff!"”
Brother Zheng had also drunk tea leaves before. It was enough to make it onto the Dark Cuisine Rankings in his mind.
However, the tea leaves that Zhao Yan took out were extraordinary.
At the beginning, it was a little bitter, but after that, it had a long aftertaste.
When the tea entered his stomach, it was as if he had eaten a large piece of ice in the middle of summer. His entire spirit was refreshed.
The effects of clearing heat and removing greasy were simply second to none.
This thing was simply a drink that only immortals had.
Thinking of this, Brother Zheng couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Zhao Yan's master was a heavenly figure.
For such a person, even a mortal emperor like Brother Zheng would find it hard to imagine how much he ate and drank.
"I can't wait to meet you!"
Brother Zheng sighed again.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he had said what he needed to say and delivered what he needed to.
Zhao Yan stood up and said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Brother Zheng frowned and said,"Now that you have changed your surname and name, you are a legitimate young master." You haven't reached the age of crown yet, so you don't have the qualifications to leave the palace and set up a residence. You can move into the palace in the future.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yan revealed a troubled expression.
"What, you don't want to?"
"I don't have any objections to staying in the palace." Zhao Yan shrugged. But my new mansion is not bad…"
Brother Zheng smiled and said directly,"You can keep that mansion. The servants from before can also be retained to help you take care of the mansion." If you want to stay there for a few days, that's up to you.”
Zhao Yan's worries turned into joy.
He imitated the adults and cupped his hands at Brother Zheng."Thank you, Imperial Father!"
Early the next morning, Zhao Yan moved into the palace with many bags.
He did not know that because of his move, the palace had been busy for almost the entire night.
With Brother Zheng's order, dozens of capable palace maids were transferred from the rear palace to serve him.
The group of people spent the entire night sweeping the palace that Brother Zheng had prepared for Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yan arrived, the entire palace was bright and clean, almost spotless.
Zhao Yan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the servants standing in front of him, who were as quiet as cicadas in winter.
He had people throw the things into the palace, then he cheered and ran to the spacious courtyard.
After a brief exchange of glances, the servants immediately divided their work and sent a well-trained group of people to follow Zhao Yan.
Even though most of them had never seen Zhao Yan before.
However, no one was unfamiliar with this young master.
Some time ago, the silkpants of noble families had come together to find trouble with this young master. It was said that those people had been taught a lesson by His Majesty.
No matter who begged for mercy, the Emperor would not relent.
They were all old people who had been in the palace for more than ten years. How could these people not know the Emperor's temper?
Previously, His Majesty had always been fair in his rewards and punishments.
In his place, it was true that a prince who broke the law was punished the same as a commoner.
But when it came to the Little Lord, all principles were bullshit.
It was obvious that the Emperor doted on this young master.
To these people, serving such a master was a mixed feeling.
They were happy that their master was loved by the Emperor. Their status in the palace would naturally rise as well.
What was worrying was that the young master was only three years old this year.
A three-year-old brat was at the right time to cause trouble. If they did not take good care of him and angered the Emperor, they might not even be able to keep their lives.
Therefore, these people viewed Zhao Yan as more precious than their own lives.
When they saw Zhao Yan run out, they immediately followed him out.
However, they were still a step too slow.
Just as they rushed out of the palace door, the scene that appeared in front of them made everyone's souls run out of their bodies.
He saw Zhao Yan climbing up the trunk of a big tree in the courtyard.
He was lying on the thick tree trunk. His small body was not even half as wide as the trunk.
However, his movements were extremely smooth, like a little monkey.
In a few steps, he climbed into the tree crown.
The group of servants were so frightened by this scene that their heads almost fell off!
They did not dare to shout, afraid that if they were not careful, Zhao Yan would be frightened and fall from the tree.
Left with no choice, the group of people rushed to the bottom of the tree at their fastest speed.
Everyone gathered together, praying in their hearts that the Little Lord would hold on tightly.
Even if he fell from a tree and smashed his head to death, it would be better than this!
This scene was too f * cking torturous!
A middle-aged eunuch with gray hair was among the group of eunuchs. He was wearing clothes that were obviously different from the others.
He walked to another direction alone and looked up at Zhao Yan, who was jumping around in the treetops. He said nervously,
"Little Lord, it's too dangerous up there! There are many interesting places in the palace. How about I take you there?”
Zhao Yan squatted on a branch and looked down at the man.
"What's your name?"
The man cupped his hands at Zhao Yan and said helplessly,""My name is Xu Liang, the steward of Young Master's palace.”
"Then you should listen to me?"
"Of course!" Xu Liang nodded with a bitter smile.”
Zhao Yan laughed.
"This young master wants to cook bird eggs today.”
Then, he threw a gray bird egg from the book.
This hidden weapon caught Xu Liang off guard.
Just as he raised his head, the egg fell from the sky and hit him between his eyebrows.
Xu Liang's face was smeared with a lump of yellow egg yolk.
"Haha!"
Zhao Yan's cheerful voice came from the tree.
Then, Zhao Yan flipped over and jumped from the tree branch to the palace wall at the side.
Then, Zhao Yan ran along the palace wall and ran all the way to the eaves of the palace.
Then, he twisted his buttocks and climbed up the roof along the eaves.
This series of actions scared Xu Liang out of his wits.
He didn't bother to clean the mess on his face. He just casually wiped his face and then shouted at the group of frightened servants beside him,
"Why are you all so cold? Why aren't you following Little Lord? If even a single hair of the Little Lord is harmed, I won't spare you even if His Majesty doesn't say anything!”
After saying that, Xu Liang took the lead and rushed in Zhao Yan's direction.
Zhao Yan was enjoying himself on the roof as the system notifications kept ringing in his mind.
Ding! You used a bird's egg to play with the manager of the harem, Xu Liang. You have received 3 meat stew seasoning bags!
Ding! A chamberlain was overly frightened because of your actions. Reward: Fat Otaku Happy Potion x1!
Ding! You threw the undergarments of the palace maids on the roof into the crowd, causing the maids to collectively feel uncomfortable. Reward: Spicy Strips x5!
……
These rewards were a mess, and they were not anything rare.
However, the quantity was large and the food was full. Moreover, they were all things that Zhao Yan liked.
In the past, when he was in the village, he could often get these things from the villagers.
However, there was a CD for grinding items on the villagers.
This was not limited by the system, but Zhao Yan knew it himself.
He was just a brat who lived in the village. To put it bluntly, those villagers had nothing to do with him at all. Instead, they had done him a favor.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Yan did not dare to go overboard.
Otherwise, he would be courting death!
After torturing a villager twice in a row, let alone anything else, how could he not have any objections?
Because of this, he lost a place to eat. This was too normal.
Over time, he would be played to death by himself.
After all, although Spicy Strips and Fat Otaku Happy Drink were very happy, they could not be eaten as food!
However, the maids and servants in the palace were different.
These people were all servants and completely obeyed him. They worked hard and did not dare to complain. They could be said to be the best tools.
Even if Zhao Yan tormented a person ten times a day, the other party would still have to serve him carefully with a smile.
With this premise, Zhao Yan could naturally earn more rewards and take advantage of the system!
If Zhao Yan was happy, Xu Liang and the other servants would be in trouble!
They only knew that their Little Lord was extremely doted on by the Emperor. It could even be said that he was the Emperor's most beloved son.
However, they didn't expect that this young master would be so mischievous!
They had only just met, and he was already scared to death. What would happen if time passed?
Zhao Yan was having fun on top, doing all kinds of scary actions and teasing the poor and fragile nerves of the servants below.
Xu Liang and the others didn't dare to persuade him.
After a while, they realized that they were at their wits 'end.
Xu Liang stomped his foot and said to the person beside him,""You guys stay here and keep an eye on the Little Lord. Don't let anything happen to him. I'll report this to His Majesty!"
Then, he ran away.
Soon, Xu Liang arrived at the palace where Brother Zheng was.
At this moment, Brother Zheng was with Wang Jian. The two of them were looking at the globe on the table and were discussing something.
Ever since he got the globe, Brother Zheng was very excited and would look for Wang Jian to discuss it every few days.
Seeing Xu Liang rush in, Brother Zheng asked curiously,""Aren't you on duty in Young Master Yan's Palace?”
"Your Majesty, Young Master is too active. We really can't keep an eye on him!" Xu Liang said with a long face.”
