Chapter 196

Wei Yinuo followed the guidance of the system and walked all the way to the depths of the harem.

Along the way, pavilions and towers stood tall and staggered.

The harem in winter has a unique tranquil beauty.

Because most of the palace people are busy with the palace banquet.

So there are not many people here.

At this moment, heavy snow is falling, covering the roofs and courtyards of the palace.

The silver-clad branches swayed gently in the cold wind, and snowflakes fell from time to time, as light as feathers.

The lake in the harem had already frozen, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding snow scene.

A faint light shone on the ice, adding a touch of mystery to the entire harem.

The palace in the distance looked particularly solemn and dignified, with red walls and golden roofs that looked even more dazzling against the white snow. In the cold wind, the flags fluttered, adding a touch of vitality to the winter harem.

Although the winter harem lacked the prosperity of spring and summer, it had a unique simple and elegant beauty that made people intoxicated.

But Wei Yinuo had no intention of enjoying the scenery at this time.

She was really too hungry, and her mind was full of thoughts about food.

However, several large trees on the road caught her attention.

Wei Yinuo was surprised to find that there were three iron buckets hanging on the tree stumps of these trees.

Wei Yinuo had never seen it before, so he asked curiously: [System, what are these three iron buckets on this tree used for? ]

The system checked and said:

[Oh, that's it. ]

[This tree is called the sugar maple tree. ]

[The sap of the sugar maple tree has a high sugar content and is very sweet. ]

[So the chef in the kitchen came up with a solution. ]

[A device like this was specially designed to collect this sap. ]

[When they collect the sap, they use it to make maple syrup or other desserts. ]

[Host, look, there is a copper pipe inserted on top of each iron bucket. ]

[And the water outlet of the copper pipe is just facing the inside of the iron bucket. 】

【In this way, when the sap of the sugar maple tree drips, it can flow into these iron buckets. 】

It was the first time that Wei Yinuo heard that the sap in the big tree could actually be eaten.

He also found it a little incredible.

He asked in confusion: [System, is this thing really edible? ]

System: [Of course! ]

【Not only is it edible, but after being processed by the chefs. 】

【It tastes very good. 】

【And host, you also know that in ancient times, sweets were a very luxurious thing. 】

【So the concubines in the harem all like this very much! 】

【But because the quantity is limited, they can't eat it whenever they want. 】

Wei Yinuo couldn't help swallowing when he heard this.

Since this thing is edible, she also wants to try it.

So she hurriedly looked into the iron barrel,

but the system said: [Host, don't look. ]

[In order to prepare for this palace banquet, the tree juice in the iron barrel has long been taken away by the kitchen. ]

Wei Yinuo heard that there was nothing edible in the iron barrel, and sighed with regret.

[Ah! ]

[It's such a pity! ]

System: [It's okay, host! ]

[Isn't there still honey! ]

[Although the tree juice tastes good, it is not as good as honey! ]

[Host, hurry up, the tree is just ahead! ]

Wei Yinuo then raised his feet and continued to move forward.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, they arrived at the tree the system mentioned.

System: [Here we are, this is the tree!]

She looked up and saw that a beehive was hanging high on the tree.

Wei Yinuo couldn't help but shout!

[Wow!!!]

[What a big beehive!!!]

[System, is there really honey in this beehive? ! !]

System: [Of course there is!]

[Host, when have I ever lied to you!]

Wei Yinuo was about to climb up when she suddenly remembered something, so she asked quickly:

[By the way, system, shouldn't there be bees in this beehive?]

[I don't want to be tricked by you again! 】

Thinking of the system's unreliable behavior in the past, Wei Yinuo felt that it would be better to confirm it first.

System:

[Host, look at what you said. When have I ever cheated you! ]

Wei Yinuo: [That's hard to say! ]

System: [Host, don't worry! ]

[It's too cold outside in winter. ]

[These bees have already flown to a warmer place. ]

[But they can't take the honey inside. ]

[So there is still a lot of it inside now! ]

[And, if it weren't for the remote location of this tree, few people would come here. ]

[I'm afraid the honey inside would have been taken away by someone. ]

Wei Yinuo: [Okay! I'll trust you this time! ]

Wei Yinuo confirmed that there was no problem and was about to climb up.

The fifth prince suddenly came over.

"Master Wei, what are you doing?"

It turned out that the fifth prince had not eaten enough at the palace banquet.

Seeing so many delicious foods at the palace banquet,

but not having any for himself,

he felt extremely depressed.

So he thought it was better to not see it, and simply went out during the free time. He

walked farther without realizing it.

He was walking alone .

Suddenly, he saw Wei Yinuo hugging a big tree with his arms in the distance.

It seemed that he was going to climb the tree again.

For some reason, the Fifth Prince immediately recalled the scene of Wei Yinuo being beaten for climbing a tree.

Probably because they felt sorry for each other,

the Fifth Prince actually wanted to stop Wei Yinuo.

So he was hurriedly walked past.

Wei Yinuo turned around and saw that it was the Fifth Prince.

He immediately stopped what he was doing.

Then he bowed respectfully to the Fifth Prince.

"Hello, Fifth Prince!"

The Fifth Prince was just about to say "No

need to bow". Wei Yinuo: [Oh my god, why is the Fifth Prince, this fool, here? ! ]

The Fifth Prince froze instantly!

What? !

Foolish? !

Idiot? !

Are you talking about me? !

I came to remind you with good intentions.

You actually called me a fool and a fool? !

I should have run back to complain to your father just now, and see if your father didn't beat you until you called him daddy! Just

thinking about it.

Wei Yinuo's inner voice came again.

[Why is the Fifth Prince still stunned? Say "No need to bow" quickly? My waist is sore from bending so much, he is really a fool! 】

But he still said respectfully:

The Fifth Prince reluctantly replied: "Master Wei, please don't be polite."

"I wonder what Master Wei was doing here just now?"

Seeing that the Fifth Prince did not leave immediately, Wei Yinuo was also anxious.

He said: "Your Highness, I will go out for some fresh air."

"I will be back soon!"

But he thought in his heart: [Why doesn't this idiot leave

yet! ] [I still need to climb up the tree to get the honey down! ]

The Fifth Prince: ???

I didn't expect there was honey on this tree? !

Seeing Wei Yinuo's inconsistent expression.

The Fifth Prince almost couldn't help laughing out loud!

Hahaha!

You actually want to deceive me? !

I won't let you eat all by yourself here!

But, can you please stop calling me an idiot!

In order not to show it too obviously.

Let Wei Yinuo see that he just heard her voice.

The fifth prince thought about it.

He deliberately touched his head.

"Hey, why do I feel like something fell on my head?"

Then he pretended to look up at the sky inadvertently.

"Hey, that thing on the tree looks like a beehive!"

Wei Yinuo:? ? ?

[How did this idiot see it? ]

He pretended to be surprised.

"Huh? Really!"

"Why didn't I see it just now!"
