Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 350 The Cook
Bai Lan glanced at Feng Yong, then shook her head helplessly.

"Lan'er, in many cases, we don't know who is available and who is not. It doesn't mean that we have to fully trust those who are available, just like Xia Yun and Qin Wanyi are just because of various reasons. The same enemy, this kind of people, will definitely part ways with us in the future, so if they want to help, let them help. However, we are now in the capital, and there will only be more and more people like this in the future, for us or for them , these are just human feelings. Not to mention Xia Yun, but Qin Wanyi, she is not a simple person. Although Qin Wanyi came from a humble background, you have also seen that Wei Huaqing has a little respect for her. You say, this People, are they ordinary people? It is impossible for this kind of person to stand on our side, and she can help us, which is already the greatest gift to us." Feng Yong said with a wry smile.

Bai Lan nodded: "I understand, but I just feel that there are too many such people now. What we did was just to make him pay the price. I think the current manpower is enough."

"Lan'er, if you want to pull him down, that's enough of course, but have you ever thought about what will happen after you pull him down? Right now, there is no successor here, so it's easy for us to pull him down. At that time, if no one goes up, we will go up Civil turmoil, foreign wars, then we are really sinners through the ages. What we have to do is not only to successfully pull people down, but to find someone to replace them at the same time. Think about it, now, although he is sorry Many people have done many wrong things, but at least we are still living a stable life, and the common people outside live and work in peace and contentment. If we kill him or overthrow him, what will happen? Are we going to take his place? ?Then how are we different from him?
Moreover, many things, to be honest, are bound to happen in a fight. It’s just that we are the parties involved, so we don’t think it matters.Think about it carefully, how could the hands and feet of the former crown prince, the seventh prince, have been clean?This was originally a path of bloodshed and sacrifice.I am angry just because he has done so much without any guilt and still tries to keep playing with us.Moreover, for many things, he didn't do them out of necessity at all. This is what matters to me.To be honest, the Bai family and the Feng Prince's Mansion would not end well with or without him. The disasters in the Bai family were not caused by him alone.I just mind that after he has done so many things, he still feels that this is a matter of course and that this is our sacrifice for the country.He also hopes to pull us along and act out a play for him.

On that day, even if I insisted that you were Helian Lanxin, he still had ways to prove that you were Bai Lan.what?You were caused by him in the first place, now you can find a few so-called evidences, what's the point?However, he knows that it is not good for him to keep you by his side, or let you return to the position of the princess.He gave you a marriage, gave me a position, and asked me to come back, but he just wanted to catch us under his nose.How can I tolerate this kind of person?But even so, we cannot act rashly.Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for everyone to suffer because of our own hatred, would it? "Feng Yong said softly.

Bai Lan nodded: "Of course I know it, but it's not easy to find this person? The Saul tribe already had a grudge against him. If he steps down, Saul's revenge is inevitable. Xiliang was also suppressed by him. Now, dare not speak out. There are more than two of these tribal neighbors? If he steps down, the world will be in chaos. But like this, should we endure it? I can’t bear it at all. Every time I see him , I just thought, I used to have a good family, but I was harmed by my so-called fiance. Since I was a child, I have never had a trace of family warmth. All the things I have struggled for and worked hard for are nothing but A play! I can't bear it at all, he still calls me Lan Xin every day, called his righteous sister, I wish I could end him with a knife. But, I can't help it, I can't help it!
Listening to what you said now, I think it is even more hopeless. If we take revenge, we will betray the whole world. If we don't take revenge, we will betray our own family.You are not Feng Yong, you are just because of responsibility, but I am not, I was born as the Bai family, and died as the soul of the Bai family, how can I look at him like this and just ignore him? "

"Lan'er, there's no rush for this matter. I've already accepted diplomatic errands with neighboring countries and tribes. When the time comes, I can communicate with these envoys in a legitimate way. Maybe there will be some plans at that time. And this matter, I said that the person in charge outside the customs is the king of the word side by side. In this way, it can be regarded as a solution to his predicament, and it can be regarded as a repayment. He is your uncle anyway. If you have time, you still I need to go and see him. At that time, he didn't know that many times, he had done many wrong things and had many misunderstandings, now it's all right, we can't always be enemies, right?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Bai Lan nodded: "I see."

"Lan'er, if you don't want to, then forget it. In fact, I don't really care about this. I believe that the king of the word side by side will not care about these trivial matters with you. It's just that I think that if the king of the word side by side agrees. This errand, after that, you won’t be in the capital all the time. You don’t have any relatives left now. One more is better than one less, right? Besides, the King of One Word is not a bad person, he has much more burdens than us , so sometimes it is normal to be more cautious in doing things. I don't hate him, and sometimes I even feel guilty for what I said at that time.

Moreover, you have to talk with me about convincing the One Word Side by Side King to do the work of the person in charge outside the customs, so that you will be more confident.Being king side by side in the court, right now, there is no advantage, and even, there will be disadvantages.He is timid in the capital now, and it is inconvenient for him not to say anything, and he is watched all the time.His comrades-in-arms and his disciples were all stationed at the frontier, and life would be easier with the company of good friends.The prince also runs back and forth every day. If there is anything, we can ventilate in time. "Feng Yong said with a smile.

Bai Lan nodded: "That's the truth, but he may not be able to listen. He has many opportunities to be transferred from the capital. To be honest, if he was willing to leave the capital at the beginning, the little prince would not die, and the Luo family might not die." It will be like it is now. Now that it is like this, it may be even more difficult to persuade."

"There's nothing we can do about it. To be honest, we really don't have many people we can trust, and we can't lose any more. Moreover, going outside the customs is not just for the sake of surrendering to Wei Huaqing, but for the common people. It's actually a great thing. There are many things now , are all tributes, and the price is not high, but the common people cannot afford them. Some common people are even willing to be arrested by the government for buying things. If the prince can accomplish this, the contribution to the common people will be very great.

For example, there are some secret medicines in Xiliang, which are easy to buy in Xiliang, but when they come to our side, they are tributes, and ordinary people dare not even think about them.Moreover, the prince contacted those envoys and merchants so that he could find out what other countries and tribes think, which is also extremely beneficial to our actions. "Feng Yong said softly.

Bai Lan was a little surprised: "If this is the case, it is indeed a good thing. I believe that the prince will not refuse matters involving ordinary people."

At this time, the car stopped, Feng Yong jumped out of the car, and helped Bai Lan get out of the car.

Seeing that Zisu and the others hadn't arrived yet, Feng Yong secretly gave a piece of silver to the groom who was driving the carriage: "Just now in the carriage, you didn't hear anything, if you talk nonsense, you can do what you want."

The groom’s eyes widened when he saw the money. This is the money for a car charter for a year: "Yes, yes, yes, I don’t know anything. The wind was too strong just now, and it was all whistling. I don’t know the capital city. , Why is there such a strong wind in this season?"

Feng Yong watched Zi Su and others come out, and walked in with Bai Lan without speaking to the driver.

Seeing that Bai Lan and the others had returned, Zisu hurriedly said, "My lord, princess, you guys are late."

"It's okay. We didn't come back on time. It was just a temporary decision. It's normal for you to do this. Besides, we have hands and feet. You don't have to be by our side all the time." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Zisu smiled: "My lord is a good master, but we have to do our duty as slaves. Your lord doesn't care about us, but if we are too casual, isn't it big or small? Just now, guard Feng said, Maybe you and the princess will eat in the palace, so we will eat by ourselves. Look at the weather, the prince and princess haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s let the kitchen do it, and it will be ready soon.”

"It's okay, don't bother the kitchen, just go out and buy whatever you want, we're not picky about what we eat. It's just two people, it's a waste to make a lot." Feng Yong instructed.

"Yes, the little one went out and ordered some light side dishes, steamed stuffed buns, and asked the kitchen to make some porridge, which tastes light and refreshing." Zisu said with a smile.

Feng Yong nodded: "Very good, let's go."

After Zi Su left, Feng Yong turned around and told Feng Langjiu: "In the past few days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a list of beautiful girls who are selected by the emperor to be female officials. You prepare a small gift and go to their residence to inform them. Also, in the afternoon there may be some adults who will bring you something, remember to stay and drink tea, don’t just leave without getting anything like last time. Go out and buy some good tea, maybe there are some adults who don’t have official business in the afternoon, Will come and visit."

"This... there are not many adults who come to visit with gifts?" Feng Langjiu was a little surprised.

Feng Yong frowned and asked: "Could it be that this king can't drink by himself without an adult coming? Buy some good tea, and, this money, I will exchange this money for broken silver. Next time someone gives a gift, see what this king and the princess are doing." If I ask you to give me a reward, I will reward you."

"Yes, yes, I'll go now, little one." Feng Langjiu agreed quickly.

After finishing the order, Feng Yong took Bai Lan to the main hall.

Not long after, the kitchen served porridge, a small pot of shredded chicken porridge, a small pot of fish porridge, and some snacks, as well as buns and shortbread bought by Zi Su.

Feng Yong said with a smile while eating: "Just these dim sums, you don't even have a third of your skills. If you open a pastry shop, I'm afraid they will all go bankrupt."

"It's not so exaggerated. These are old-fashioned shops and they all have their own customers. I just cook and eat casually, so they can't be considered elegant." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Feng Yong shook her head: "Various and elegant are rare. Too elegant is not necessarily good. For example, at the palace banquet, those dim sums look much more delicate, but they are actually not as delicious as homemade dim sum. Moreover, the palace banquet There are too many banquet etiquettes. In fact, dim sum has a time limit. If it exceeds the time, it will not taste good. You said that the imperial dining room has to inspect the things at the palace banquet, all the way to the emperor. In fact, it has already passed that It's time."

"As far as you can tell, isn't what the emperor eats not as good as what you eat?" Bai Lan said with a smile.

Feng Yong shook her head: "Of course it's not as good. For example, this sesame seed cake, do you think the emperor can eat this kind of thing? In the palace, these are eaten by court ladies and eunuchs. They are lowly things. In fact, this kind of thing is the most expensive thing. It has the aroma of grain, the original taste. And you haven’t seen it, did the emperor and queen eat it? Anything, just taste a little, and it’s knocked down. What’s the taste in that?”

"There is always etiquette when eating, not to mention palace banquets. We naturally don't have to worry so much at home. But eating at home is really comfortable, and the food cooked in the kitchen actually has a different taste. For example, this fish fillet porridge, the palace The fish fillet in the dish is as white as jade and as thin as cicada wings, but it actually lacks a lot of texture. As for the shredded chicken porridge, the palace one has added a lot of other things, but it is not as authentic as the palace banquet food. , I always care about ostentation, it won’t be that simple." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Feng Yong nodded: "You know a lot. The kitchen has a good taste recently. I don't know if it's a new cook. We didn't have a cook before."

At this time, Zisu said with a smile, "Your Highness is really good. This cook just came here and came to the door by himself. We saw that he cooks well, so we stayed for a trial. Sure enough, His Highness will like it."

Feng Yong smiled: "Where is this cook? Ask him if he would like to come out and we can meet. I don't know what kind of cook is such a homely cook."

Zi Su nodded: "The little one goes down and asks him to come up."

When the perilla was gone, Bai Lan said with a smile: "I'm afraid this cook is not simple. The fish fillet porridge and shredded chicken porridge both have a slight herbal aroma, and the snacks and other snacks also have the aroma of flowers. It can be seen that this is not vulgar. Craftsmanship, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person, maybe it's an old friend."

"Clothes are not as good as new ones, old ones, old ones, isn't it good? Besides, no matter who they are, with this kind of craftsmanship, we should all meet them. I tasted this taste, as if I had eaten it before. , very light and refreshing." Feng Yong smiled.
