Chapter 19 - Boring the Donkey

"Wei Fang, you came just in time. I am going to find you. Sit down first, sit down first."

Wei Fang said politely and sat on the embroidered pillar next to him.

"I wonder what the Crown Prince wants to do with this minister?"

"Well, it's not really a big deal. The main reason is that as you know, there was a flood in Jingzhou last year and the people were displaced. Countless refugees poured into Beijing. Although the imperial court provided money for relief, it was obviously too much to do in front of such a large number of people.

.So, my father asked me to take some time to go to Jingzhou to conduct an on-site inspection and manage it separately."

Wei Fang was surprised and said: "This is a good thing. Your Highness, you live deep in the East Palace and have nothing to do with the people. You take this opportunity to communicate with the people and deal with the problems encountered by the people. Your reputation and reputation will be greatly improved."

It will all be positive.”

The prince hummed: "Although that is what I said, Wei Fang, I rarely leave the palace. I have never even been to Guozixue. Is it okay if I go out? I heard that there is no such thing in Jingzhou

It’s peaceful. There are robbers everywhere. So what I want to say is, how about you help me go over and find out what’s going on?”

Wei Fang frowned, but relaxed quickly.

He clasped his fists at the prince and said, "I obey your order."

The prince breathed a long sigh of relief, laughed loudly, walked down and took Wei Fang's hands: "I have my beloved, so why worry about things not getting done."

Wei Fang didn't respond, he just kept his head down and said nothing, but his furrowed brows betrayed his inner feelings.

Cherish your life when doing big things, forget your life when you see small gains.

Such matters as providing relief to disaster victims are left to a fool, who knows how to choose.

Fortunately for the prince, he was crucified in the East Palace and did not move away.

Knowing what he meant, it was just that he was afraid that if he left the capital, other princes would take the opportunity to compete for his favor.

You are confused, let alone the fact that you have been the crown prince for twenty years, and you have done a good job in subsidizing the victims, even if other princes have great abilities, the civil and military officials of the court will not support them.

well.

Thinking of this, Wei Fang sighed, feeling very tired.

"By the way, Wei Fang, I heard that you have an outhouse in Wuyi Lane?"

Wei Fang came to his senses after hearing this and was stunned for a moment: "Who did your Highness listen to?"

"Hey, don't be nervous. As a man, what's the matter with having an estrangement? What's more, you are single and unmarried. When will you call me and let me have a look? I will also see what can charm you, Brother Wei. After all,

What a strange man he is.”

Wei Fang was horrified: "Your Highness, you are a noble person, how dare I be worthy of my brother?"

"It doesn't matter. Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually flesh and blood. We are of the same mind and have the same moral principles, so what should we say to others?"

Under the prince's remarks, Wei Fang was somewhat moved in his heart.

The prince struck while the iron was hot and held a family banquet in the East Palace for Wei Fang.

While eating and drinking, the two of them chatted a lot, all about trivial matters between their parents. Although it was of no use, it could bring the two of them closer.

When the banquet was over and Wei Fang left, the prince, who had just pretended to be drunk, immediately became clear-headed.

His eyes were shining outward, and he said to the darkness: "Shadow, follow Wei Fang and see where his outer house is. If you have the chance, I will visit him personally with gifts."

The concubine next to the prince hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, would this be too patronizing to him? She is just a concubine. Do you still need to visit me in person?"

The prince shook his head: "You don't understand. What I'm visiting is not a concubine, but the Wei family. Wei Laohu is leading the army and holds great power. If I want to win over the Wei family for my use, I still need to see my father.

The emperor's expression? Go ahead, Shadow."

Shadow agreed and turned around.



For the next half month, Xiao Zhang stayed in Wuyi Alley to supervise the renovation of the restaurant.

King Xiangdong was very angry about this, but the princess Xiao Yuxin also joined in. Even if he was angry, he could only endure it.

I can only find a small notebook to write down the dissatisfaction with my son these days, and then put it all away after the princess returns to the palace.

"In five or six days, the restaurant will be almost completely renovated. Next, it's time to find a chef and promote it."

In the palace of Prince Xiangdong, Xiao Zhang personally cooked a table of sumptuous dishes and prepared a bottle of wine.

"After working hard for so long, I can finally start making money. Idiot, are you sure you won't pay for it? In order to renovate this restaurant, I threw thousands of taels into it."

Xiao Zhang curled his lips: "Can you have some confidence in my craftsmanship? Forget about you, I also threw in several thousand taels. I have spent all the money from the rock candy that Cao Ding sold me these days."

"I trust your craftsmanship, but I mainly don't trust other people's craftsmanship. How many cooks like you are there in Dade?"

As she spoke, Xiao Yuxin took a dish and put it into her mouth, nodding vigorously.

"If you think this way, you can't make a lot of money at all. What is the future development trend of society? It must be rapid scale. How much food can I cook by myself? How many things can I be busy with? The best choice is to cultivate it ourselves.

Cook. By the way, there are many royal chefs in the palace. You can lend some of them and I will train them first."

When he said these words, Xiao Zhang was still thinking that if he could lend out the imperial chef, it would be a publicity stunt.

Xiao Yu sighed and said in shock: "Idiot, are you kidding me? How can you lend the palace's royal chef casually? My father will definitely not agree."

"Look, how do you know if you haven't even tried?"

"There's no need to try this."

Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Uncle Emperor and I will change our head offices."

"Change? How to change? Are you going to the palace? That's fine."

"Don't make trouble, you're in charge of where I go to the palace restaurant. I'm talking about using this in exchange."

With that said, Xiao Zhang picked up the pot of wine from the table.

"This is the wine I made myself. When you return to the palace later, bring a pot to the emperor's uncle and ask him for some royal chefs."

"It's just a jug of wine. It's not like there isn't anything in the palace."

"Hey, can the boiled water in the palace compare to my wine?"

Xiao Yuxin was not convinced, so she grabbed the wine bottle and started to drink.

"Hey, what are you doing? You'll get drunk."

Xiao Yuxin didn't care: "Drunk? Sister, I can't drink a thousand cups."

After saying that, she filled herself a glass and drank it in one gulp.

Just when Xiao Yuxin was complaining that there was no difference between the wines, suddenly, the wine suddenly turned red, like a red-hot stone.

She covered her neck with both hands, a look of pain on her face, and yelled and yelled.

The palace maid who was waiting with Xiao Yuxin was frightened: "Xiao Zhang, what did you do to the princess!"

"Don't be nervous, it's normal."

There was a cooing sound.

Xiao Yuxin tried her best to swallow the drink.

Her face was red and she looked shocked: "Idiot, what is the name of this wine?"

Xiao Zhang was very proud: "Suffocating the donkey, that's awesome."
