Obviously they really think of this as a restaurant.
After Ji Chengan left, Feng Yi turned his attention to Cheng Hanyan.
He asked with a bit of questioning. "Why?"
This is asking him why he should agree to King An's words and stand on King An's side.
Cheng Hanyan picked up the unfinished wine, first filled a glass for Feng Yi, and pointed to the sky while pouring the wine for himself.
"This is what the higher ups want."
Cheng Hanyan did not hide anything, and told Feng Yi everything he had said to the emperor in the imperial study that day.
Although the emperor did not explicitly say so, if one carefully considers the holy intention, then that is what he meant.
"In the eyes of the emperor, the second prince is obviously not suitable to be the prince. What's more, now the prime minister is ready to push the second prince into a position that should not belong to him. What is the final purpose?"
The emperor is also afraid.
Fearing that the second prince's virtue was not worthy of the throne, the prime minister wanted to use the second prince as a puppet to control the government.
Regardless of whether Prince An is suitable for this throne, he is now the only prince who can compete with the second prince.
There are not many heirs in the palace, either they belong to the daughter's family, or they are too young to take on big responsibilities.
However, Prince An currently does not have a stable enough force in the court that can compete with the forces behind the second prince.
The power behind the second prince is the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's mortal enemy is Feng Yi, the general who protects the country.
If King An wants to recruit suitable candidates, they must be Feng Yi and Cheng Hanyan.
The general protecting the country and the prime minister checked and balanced each other, and King An and the second prince checked and balanced each other.
Cheng Hanyan was able to check and balance the many retainers under the Prime Minister, as well as several highly respected bachelors from the Hanlin Academy.
To deal with those old antiques who are literary and intellectual, it is not enough to be brave and resourceful.
It just so happened that Cheng Hanyan was not only bold, but also a black fox full of trouble.
Even though he is usually fearless and acts recklessly, he has his own rules and regulations.
He was able to beat the old master to death with random punches, plus he had a clever mouth and quick-witted words. He was much better than those old guys who came out of the Hanlin Academy.
In other words, the argumentative ability is evenly matched with these people.
Being able to check and balance each other is what the emperor wants to see.
Feng Yi made it clear at one point that the current situation, which looks calm on the surface, is actually already undercurrent.
It's just that he doesn't want to be a pawn. Only by remaining neutral can he protect himself wisely.
But now the emperor is forcing him to choose, and he has to choose.
"I see."
The expression on Feng Yi's face was a little solemn, and it could be seen that he was very unhappy. He picked up the full wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Cheng Hanyan didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.
Song Yutong left the dining table with Mrs. Feng long ago, and the two of them walked to the back garden. Before it got completely dark, Song Yutong asked someone to light a lamp nearby.
I took Mrs. Feng to do a complete set of post-meal exercises to help digestion.
By the way, Mrs. Feng also did Tai Chi.
"Follow this practice every morning and your body will feel much better."
Mrs. Feng followed and did a trick first, and she did feel that it had some effect, and her body seemed to feel more relaxed.
"Hundred Flowers Day is coming in less than half a month. I plan to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the mansion. Are you interested, sister? I will introduce you to some noble ladies in the capital. Yes, it will also be helpful for you to open a restaurant in the future."
Song Yutong knew that Mrs. Feng was planning to help her open up the social circle in the capital and help her enter the upper class society of the powerful.
You must know that what she wants to do most now is to open a luxury restaurant. If she opens up the circle of the rich and powerful in the capital, it will be very beneficial to her.
"Sister sincerely invites you, so of course I will go."
Mrs. Feng smiled and nodded as a reminder.
"Then you should bring more gadgets. These noble ladies in the capital are most interested in new gadgets. However, there are also a few who are hated by others. They like to show off, compare, and like those valuable gadgets. Then you can
Don’t pay attention to those people.”
Mrs. Feng thought for a while and decided to give Song Yutong a vaccination.
To avoid being upset by those who don’t have a good eye.
"I understand."
"Your back garden is so well-constructed, it's so relaxing and relaxing for people to stay in. I almost don't want to go back. By the way, what are you going to plant in that empty space of yours?"
Mrs. Feng noticed that Song Yutong had dug up all the flowers in a flower bed next to the back garden, leaving only the dark soil.
"I'm going to grow some fruits and vegetables myself and start a small vegetable garden. The vegetables I buy from outside are just not as delicious as the ones I grow myself."
Song Yutong was very honest, but she didn't feel that growing vegetables was embarrassing at all.
"Then I'll wait for you to plant it first and taste it. It feels good to work. I'll also get some vegetable seeds from you."
Mrs. Feng just talked like this, but she never thought about growing vegetables in her heart.
She knew nothing about growing vegetables. When she was born in her early years, although her father was a military commander, she did not have to endure the hardships of farm work.
These words were just to comfort Song Yutong.
After all, among the elite circles in the capital, growing vegetables by yourself is generally a very shameful thing.
Because they are ladies of the world, they are aloof, they talk about etiquette and shame all day long, and they don't know the sufferings in the world.
I always laugh at those ladies and women who are from a bad background and have a bad family background, and I take pleasure in making fun of these people.
Therefore, Song Yutong said that he wanted to grow his own vegetables, and this word spread.
I'm afraid it will make all the noble ladies in the capital laugh out loud.
Mrs. Feng thought it was nothing, it was good to be self-sufficient.
But Mrs. Feng's thoughts cannot represent the thoughts of the noble ladies in the capital.
"Then wait for me to plant it, sister, take a look first. These are not ordinary vegetable seeds, but specially cultivated seeds obtained from overseas. The vegetables grown are extremely sweet, very crispy, as if they were drunk.
It’s like a spiritual spring, the water is flowing and very beautiful.”
Song Yutong praised her own seeds, saying this to prepare Mrs. Feng mentally beforehand.
So that the vegetables she grows will not attract the attention of others because they are too good.
"Then I really want to wait until you plant it and then take a closer look and taste it. Is it what you said? Today, King An was attracted by the aroma of your cooking. It really surprised me. I have eaten the food cooked by the imperial chef.
The food is delicious, but the taste is far less delicious than what you cook."
"It should be said that it's not that it's not as delicious as what you make, but that it's too craftsmanship and refinement, and too much pursuit of a certain taste, which lacks the deliciousness that the food should have. The dishes you make are not only delicious, but also delicious.
A feeling of happiness.”
Mrs. Feng didn't even bother with Song Yutong's cooking at first.
Now I am deeply impressed by her craftsmanship, and I finally understand why Feng Yi thinks about it every day.
Now she also wants to come and have a meal every day.
