People are naturally short of energy in the hot summer, and the Taoist idiot really didn't sleep much these days, so he fell into a drowsy sleep within a short while of lying on the bed.

Keep running, keep running, but in front of you... there are swaying flames, charred human figures, miserable screams, and bursts of weird fragrance in the air.

Scent...smell again...

Who is crying?

Whose tears made his heart ache...

Seeing the Taoist idiot lying on the bed with tears streaming down his face and trembling all over, Lu Bing was really frightened, his eyes widened and he was a little at a loss. Following behind him was the little princess who was again served by a maid.

She hurriedly pushed Lu Bing and said, "Brother Bing, I'm afraid Wang Erlang is having a nightmare. Please push him to wake him up."

"Oh, oh!" Lu Bing responded, stepped forward and pushed Dao Chi and said: "Brother Wang, wake up quickly, Brother Wang, wake up quickly..."

The crying gradually faded away, and only the noise of the children remained in my ears, becoming increasingly clear.

The Taoist idiot opened his eyes and saw two little heads.

Lu Bing breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said: "Great, Brother Wang finally woke up. What kind of nightmare did you have to cry like this?"

Dao Chi turned over and sat up. He did not answer Lu Bing's words, but looked at the little girl behind Lu Bing.

The little girl's eyes flickered and she ducked behind Lu Bing.

Lu Bing followed Dao Chi's gaze, turned his head, and said with a forced smile: "This is from the palace... the little maid from the palace. I heard that Brother Wang was not feeling well, so he came over to visit me. I met this maid on the way. Please help me." Carrying something."

The little girl nodded vigorously as if she was afraid that Dao Chi would not believe him, but she couldn't help but raise her head and peek at Dao Chi. Her little face was full of sympathy and intolerance.

Dao Chi wiped his face and said to Lu Bing, "Brother Dalang, please go sit outside for a while. I'll tidy up and I'll be right over."

Lu Bing responded, took the little girl out of the screen, and sat in the outside room.

There was a tea tray on the coffee table and herbal tea in the teapot. Lu Bing came and went frequently, and without any awareness of being a guest, he poured out two cups of herbal tea and handed one to the little girl.

The little girl picked up the tea cup and was about to drink it. She felt something was wrong, so she quickly put it down again and wrinkled her nose at Lu Bing. Lu Bing reacted and made a face in return.

At this time, Dao Chi had come out from behind the screen. The sweat and tears on his face were all wiped away, and his clothes were much smoother. He was not as embarrassed as when he first woke up.

However, when the eyes become red due to crying, it doesn't just get better.

Looking at the gentle Taoist idiot and thinking about how he cried bitterly in the nightmare, Lu Bing felt sour in his heart. He opened the snack box on the coffee table and introduced it casually: "This is kidney bean cake. Your Highness loves it the most, so I only got this plate, so bring them all over, Brother Wang, come and have a taste."

Inside the box is a plain white porcelain plate, with about ten pieces of one-inch square kidney bean cakes placed on it.

Dao Chi nodded: "Then I really want to thank Da Lang..." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of kidney bean cake and brought it to his mouth.

The dry mouth is delicate and slightly sweet, very much like the yellow peas of later generations, but the aroma is stronger than that bean. Counting before and after entering the palace, Dao Chi has tasted seven or eight kinds of snacks, and only the taste in front of him is the most similar to that of later generations.

Dao Chi couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In the eyes of Lu Bing and the little girl, Wang Erlang was so pitiful that he was so happy that he was so happy even after eating a piece of snacks.

Lu Bing's initial reluctance to part with the snacks disappeared immediately, leaving only a sense of loyalty. He patted his small chest and said, "This is the only snack my mother can make, and there will be other snacks in the future." , I took them all for Brother Wang to eat."

The little girl was beside her, her face was full of joy, and she almost clapped her hands for Lu Bing's generosity. Then she felt a little unfair, and Lu Bing secretly rolled her eyes. Huh, why are you so generous to a classmate whom you have known for half a month?

Stingy, I grab snacks from her every time.

Dao Chi was distracted, reminiscing about the feeling that was closest to five hundred years in the future, when he was interrupted by Lu Bing. He almost choked, and he didn't know where to go with any trace of sadness.

"I accept Da Lang's offer, but I always eat a lot during dinner and rarely use snacks. If they are sent to me, most of them will be spoiled, and Da Lang will use them himself." Dao Chi declined politely.

Lu Bing looked at Dao Chi in surprise: "Brother Wang really doesn't want snacks?"

The Taoist idiot shook his head and said, "I really don't want it."

Lu Bing asked doubtfully: "What should I do if Brother Wang is hungry at night?"

Speaking of this, Dao Chi really wanted to ask Lu Bing something: "Is there anything out there that is cheap to eat and store, and can fill your stomach directly without burning the door?"

Dao Chi is unfamiliar with the outside world, how familiar can Lu Bing be? He was born and raised in the palace, and the number of times he leaves the palace is no more than that of the princes and princesses.

Lu Bing thought for a while, then shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know...isn't it a snack? My father once brought some hard snacks back from outside. They were kept for a long time and they didn't break, but they were so hard that they couldn't be bitten."

Dao Chi was a little disappointed after hearing this.

It was a long night, and the palace had two meals and two snacks a day, so they shouldn't have been hungry. But Dao Chi was a big-bellied person and had a bigger appetite than others. Recently, he had been busy studying and was constantly waking up from hunger in the middle of the night.

But a few days ago, Daoist Idiot mentioned the matter of candles. There is no need to talk about "late night snack". Although the prince had said it on the first day when everyone met, in Fu Xue, only the friendship between classmates is considered, regardless of superiority or inferiority.

.But in fact, he is not very old, but he is very disciplined.

The first time the Taoist idiot mentioned the candle matter, it was quite excusable; if he asked for it again, he would be pushing the envelope.

After all, the prince's current arrangements for the school, no matter how protective the parents are of their children, cannot be found to be negligent.

His disappointment made the little girl behind Lu Bing feel a little uncomfortable. She pulled Lu Bing's clothes and whispered: "People outside the palace don't know that there is rice tea in the palace!"

"Rice tea!" Lu Bing's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, why did you forget rice tea!"

Rice tea was introduced into Prince Xing's palace from outside. It is said that it can be traced back to more than 20 years ago. The princess did not want to eat or drink because of her pregnancy. The prince asked the imperial doctors to work together, and finally someone recommended rice tea as a folk food.

The standard way to eat rice tea is to use fried rice, add water to boil, and then make tea. But in fact, rice tea can also be eaten dry or soaked.

Lu Bing proudly introduced the rice tea. When the Taoist Chi heard that it was something from outside, he couldn't help but said with joy: "Is there anything sold outside?"

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Dao Chi was frowning and thinking hard. Rice tea sounded really good, but where could he buy it? It wouldn't be nice if it alerted the palace.

The little girl had already volunteered: "It's very easy to fry rice and tea. It's just a matter of adding more firewood. Let the big kitchen prepare it..." At this point, she realized that her tone was wrong and hurriedly explained: "If it's Wang

If you are afraid of troubling them, you can prepare two handfuls of copper coins as a reward."

The little girl is so enthusiastic and Lu Bing is willing to help. For the Taoist, things seem to have become easier.

There are plenty of candles and rice tea for late night snacks. Life is really simple and relaxing.

In a blink of an eye, it’s June 27th.

According to what the palace said before entering the palace, the companions who entered the palace were required to go home and rest for three days every month. The time to leave the palace was set on the 27th of each month, and the day to return to the palace was on the afternoon of the 30th.

No matter how much he pretends to be a grown-up in school, he is still a half-grown child with a strong longing for his family, including Taoist idiots.

Uncle Yan stood outside the gate of the palace and seemed to have been waiting for a while. Seeing this, the Taoist idiot stopped talking, said goodbye to his classmates, and followed Uncle Yan back home.

The palace is in the middle of the city, and the outer nine rooms are in the northeast corner of the city. The two places are not far apart. Even if the Taoist idiot walked back, it wouldn't take long.

The fate between people is inherently indescribable. For example, Wang Ning and Dao Chi, the grandfather and grandson, have not been together for as long as they have been separated this time. But in Wang Ning's heart, Dao Chi has long been regarded as her own flesh and blood.

.

After asking about everything in the school, Wang Ning felt at ease after confirming that her grandson had not endured hardship there.

But when she thought of something, her originally cheerful mood sank, but she had to face what she had to face.

The old man found a post and handed it to Dao Chi.

The Taoist idiot opened it and looked at it. It turned out that June 30th of this month was the celebration of the youngest son of the Twelveth House. The Twelfth House had to hold wine and entertain the clan members.

He hesitated and said, "Grandma, we don't have to go, right? Maybe the post over there was just to be polite and they may not be willing to let us go."

Wang Ning shook her head: "Whether they really invite you or not, I will take you there..."
