After all the civil and military officials went through the "secret room", it was finally time to start eating.

Everyone sat down and the delicacies carefully prepared by the imperial chefs were brought to the table. The ministers probably consumed a lot in the "secret room" just now, and they were all hungry now.

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood. He went from table to table with a wine glass and teased his ministers. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers was extremely harmonious.

The Demon King and Gongsun sat together, eating and observing Zhao Zhen, who was enjoying himself at the table. Beside him, Tianzun and Yin Houzheng were studying the dishes.

Next to Tianzun and Yin Hou's table, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat together.

I wonder if the imperial chef in the palace has a Zhan Zhao recipe book. After Zhan Zhao came twice, he found that the dishes on the table for him were different from others every time he had a banquet. After asking around, I found out that the dishes in the palace

The imperial chefs all used him to test dishes. After all, he had a reputation as the best foodie in Kaifeng.

Zhan Zhao was eating a big crab in a good mood, when he felt someone behind him tugging at the hem of his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Xiangxiang running over at some point, looking up at the two of them with a smile.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tacitly moved slightly apart on both sides to make room in the middle.

Xiangxiang climbed up.

Zhan Zhao took some vegetables for her to eat, chewing the vegetables with fragrant cheeks while looking at Bai Yutang beside him.

Fifth Master took this wine glass and became very familiar with Xiangxiang. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled at her.

Xiangxiang blushed and moved closer to Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao shook his head and continued to feed Xiangxiang delicious food.

Zhao Zhen, who was chatting with Master Bao about Lu Yuelan at the next table, caught sight of his daughter and immediately beamed with joy.

Holding the wine glass, Zhao Zhen also squeezed to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's table. He reached out and picked up his daughter. Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Speaking of..." Zhao Zhen took a piece of cake and complained to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "I have encountered some difficulties recently."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried their best to look at Zhao Zhen with a "believe you" expression.

Zhao Zhen had a serious face, "To be honest... I feel that this palace has been a little unclean recently. I doubt it! There are goblins in the palace!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with bright eyes.

The two young heroes lowered their heads to eat in a tacit understanding, and decided to go home and sleep as soon as they finished.

"Alas." Zhao Zhen put Xiangxiang on the ground and asked her to run to find her mother. He held his chin and continued chatting with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Do you know about the Leng Palace in the west? Alas, there are always noises coming from the Leng Palace recently.

The sound of someone playing the piano was intermittent in the middle of the night. Also, some guards passing nearby heard people chatting in the cold palace. There were moving candlelight in the deserted palace. The father-in-law and maids who had never been seen before were wearing the clothes of the former court.

Walking around with clothes on and stuff like that.”

Zhao Zhen held his chin, with a look of "I am so troubled", "You also know that I have many things to do every day. I am very busy during the day and can't sleep well at night. I am worried every day! Also, my beloved concubine is still pregnant, and my mother is pregnant.

I’m getting older, and I can’t get through this day by day…”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried not to look at Zhao Zhen, who was pretending to be pitiful on the table, and secretly reminded themselves that it must be a trap, so don't get into it.

"And... the scariest thing is!" Zhao Zhen was quite playful, "Recently, someone found wet footprints at the gate of Leng Palace!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him helplessly - is it true?

When Zhao Zhen saw that there was a door, he quickly pursued the victory, "Have you heard of Caiyun Palace?"

As soon as Zhan Zhao tilted his head, the chopsticks in Bai Yutang's hand stopped.

"Caiyun Palace...really exists?" Fifth Master asked.

Zhao Zhen smiled mysteriously, "Yes!"

Zhan Zhao didn't understand, "Where is Caiyun Palace? Is there such a hall in the palace?"

"Caiyun Palace is a legend." Zhao Zhen explained, "The late emperor once got a painting, which showed a very gorgeous palace. The late emperor liked the painting very much and hung it on his bedside. That night,

When my father woke up from his sleep, he opened his eyes and saw the golden light shining outside the window. He stood up and opened the window, and saw a huge palace with brilliant lights appearing in the place of Chenshi Hall."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang next to him and thought to himself - was the late emperor sleepy and dreaming?

The fifth master seemed unsure and waited for Zhao Zhen to continue.

"The late emperor felt that the palace looked familiar, it was the palace in the painting, so he turned back and glanced at the painting hanging on the wall. But the strange thing was that the painting was empty! The late emperor picked up the painting and

Roll up the painting...and the palace disappears."

"Is that because he was asleep and dreaming?"

Zhao Pu, who was sitting at the table in front, was right behind Zhao Zhen. When he heard the conversation, he turned around and complained about his royal brother.

"But if the painting is really the Caiyun Palace, there is indeed such a legend." Gongsun also heard it and turned around and said.

Bai Yutang had obviously heard what Caiyundian said and nodded along.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and told everyone the legend about Caiyun Temple.

"According to legend, there was a talented man named Yunshuo in the late Tang Dynasty who was good at painting and especially had a skill in making paper. Yunshuang opened a paper shop in his home, and he often went to the mountains to find materials for making paper. One day he rescued a child in the mountains.

An injured crow. Half a year later, the crow flew back and took a fresh-tasting strange orchid to Yun Shuo. Yun Shuo soaked the orchid in the paper pulp and made four pictures with the fragrance of orchid.

Yun Shen didn't pay attention at first. He drew a horse on a piece of paper, hung it on the wall, and went to sleep. That night, he suddenly heard the cry of a horse. When he got up, he saw that there was a horse beside his bed.

There was a horse standing there, which was exactly the one he had painted before going to bed. Looking at the painting on the wall, it was already empty... Yun Shuo rolled up the painting, and the horse disappeared."

At this moment, many people's attention was attracted by Zhao Zhen.

"Yun Shuo realized that the orchid grass should be a sacred object, and everything drawn on these four pieces of paper would become real at night." Zhao Zhen became interested and continued, "After that, Yun Shuo drew a picture for himself.

A palace, a starry sky, and most importantly, his deceased lover. These four paintings were called Yun Shuo's dream paintings. Later, three of the four paintings, namely the horse, the forest and Yun Shuo's lover, all followed the clouds.

Yun Shuo disappeared together, leaving only the picture of the palace. Because Yun Shuo's lover's name was Caiyun, so the palace in that painting was called Caiyun Palace."

"The late emperor has that painting?" Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen.

"Well..." Zhao Zhen touched his chin, "That painting disappeared many years ago! I have never seen it, I only heard my father talk about it."

"So he really wasn't dreaming in his sleep?" Zhao Pu still expressed doubts.

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "Not only did the late emperor see it, but he also entered the Caiyun Palace. It is said that it was magnificent, filled with countless treasures, and there were also people."

"Is there someone?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Some people are playing the piano, some are joking, and some are playing in the water..."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "The late emperor secretly hid the painting in Chenshi Palace, which was a cold palace at that time. After that, the palace experienced a series of changes, and the painting was forgotten. After I ascended the throne, I sent someone

We searched Chenshi Palace thoroughly, but still couldn't find it..."

On the one hand, everyone was a little interested, but on the other hand, they felt that it was a bit unreliable. What Zhao Pu said was not unreasonable. Maybe the late emperor was confused and had a dream?

"The problem is, I have seen Caiyun Palace before!" Zhao Zhen changed the subject, "One night not long after I ascended the throne..."

As soon as Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, Zhao Pu from the side said, "Are you still in a daze and dreaming?"

Gongsun took a chicken leg and stuffed it into Zhao Pu's mouth, telling him not to interrupt.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked at Zhao Zhen, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"I also saw a shimmering light in the direction of Leng Palace. A colorful palace suddenly appeared. There was the sound of silk and bamboo in the palace. It seemed that someone was playing and singing... and during that period, by coincidence, there were also many haunted stories in Leng Palace.

Rumor."

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, "If there are lights in the Caiyun Palace, people are talking and laughing, playing the piano and playing in the water, then those voices, the sound of the piano playing, and the wet footprints...were caused by the people in the Caiyun Palace?"

Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and said, "That's what I suspected, but I still need to confirm it!"

Zhao Pu finally finished eating the chicken legs and asked Zhao Zhen, "How can I confirm it?"

"Help me find that painting!" Zhao Zhen held his chin and smiled at everyone.

"How to find it?" Gongsun thought it was difficult.

"Isn't this Chenshi Palace haunted?" Zhao Zhen's eyebrows crooked with laughter, "Dear ladies..."

Everyone is a little disgusted - who is your beloved!

"Ahem." Zhao Zhen waved the sleeves of his dragon robe, "Why don't you stay in Chenshi Palace tonight, help me catch the goblins, and look for Caiyun Palace on the way!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and continued picking up vegetables.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun also pretended not to hear and hurried back to eat.

Zhao Zhen looked at Bai Yutang.

The corners of Wu Ye's mouth moved slightly, and a hint of sarcastic smile flashed across his face without any trace, which meant - quit!

Unexpectedly, a sarcastic smile flashed across Zhao Zhen's lips, and he seemed a little confident - he had to do it even if he didn't want to do it.

The fifth master was puzzled - so confident?

At the same time, Zhao Zhen raised his hand and pointed behind him.

Bai Yutang suddenly had a bad premonition, and when he turned around...sure enough, he saw Tianzun standing behind him holding a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, with bright eyes.

Fifth Master raised his forehead.

Tianzun ran back with the bowl in hand and said to Yin Hou and the Demon King, "Caiyun Palace! The painting of Caiyun Palace is in the cold palace. There is indeed a treasure in the palace!"

"Caiyun Palace?" Yin Hou was also interested, "Is it the legendary Yun Shuang's dream painting?"

Tianzun nodded and nodded.
