Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 91 Cotton
After retreating from the court, the ministers walked out of the hall while still discussing the famous sayings made by Ying Zheng just above the court.

"Master Feng, I am very happy to be in charge of the Taiwei Mansion now. Isn't it time for a treat?" Qiang Xu stepped forward with a sinister smile on his face.

Feng Jing was walking with Feng Jie and others at the moment. When he heard Qiang Yu's words, he smiled helplessly and said: "Today I am hosting a banquet in my mansion. Come if you don't mind the wine. There may not be delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the wine will fry the locusts." It’s definitely enough!”

"That's enough!" Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe immediately became excited upon hearing this.

Yang Duanhe also greeted Li Xin who was not far away, "General Li, come together to celebrate Master Feng tonight!"

Li Xin frowned slightly, and glanced at Feng Jing with a slightly embarrassed expression, and Feng Jing was the same.

But after thinking for a moment, Feng Jing took the initiative to come to Li Xin and cupped his hands, "General Li, I have offended you many times before. Please forgive me. General, please come to our family dinner today!"

Li Xin was worried about how to ease the relationship with Feng Jie. After all, he would be the talker of the Taiwei Mansion from now on. Everything in the army could not go around the Taiwei Mansion, but Li Xin couldn't let go.

At this moment, he didn't expect that Feng Jie would take the initiative to let him go down the steps. Li Xin naturally wanted it, and came down along the steps.

"You're welcome, Mr. Feng. I will definitely go tonight." Li Xin bowed to Feng Jing, "Before I was in Qidi, I contracted some bad habits, which made Mr. Feng laugh. From now on, I will ask Mr. Feng to supervise me. Never again!"

"General's hard work has made great achievements, and it is understandable that he was negligent for a while, but he must remember it and not slack off." Feng Jing also bowed to Li Xin, "General Li does not have to worry about his previous responsibilities. Just pay attention in the future!"

"Of course, that's natural!" Li Xin nodded repeatedly, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng who had not yet left above the main hall couldn't help nodding, and admired Zhao Yi even more in his heart.

Feng Jing and Li Xin had already listened to what he had just said in court. They gave each other face, eased the relationship, and did not make things difficult for themselves. This is what Ying Zheng wanted to see.

Ying Zheng nodded secretly. From this point of view, he definitely made the right choice for the prince Zhao Yi. Even if he is absent in the future, with his ability, maintaining the government will not be a problem.

At this time, outside the court, Li Si frowned and asked Feng Quji: "Right Prime Minister, the saint your Majesty mentioned before, could it be that imperial master again?"

Feng Quji nodded immediately, "President Zuo asked this question, who else could it be besides the emperor teacher?"

"This emperor teacher is really a strange person!" Feng Jie pondered, "In the past, we people were able to advise His Majesty, but now I suddenly realize that we seem to be less and less important. Get tensed and don't slack off!"

Feng Jing listened to Feng Jie's words, but did not agree with him. At this moment, he was extremely grateful to that emperor teacher.

If it weren't for the emperor's teacher, Feng Jing believed that with His Majesty's previous temper, if he didn't give His Majesty the face he did yesterday, His Majesty would definitely give him a small shoe, how could he be promoted, let alone let him take charge of the Taiwei's Mansion.

So Feng Jing knew very well that the position under his buttocks could be stabilized because of the bystander, Emperor Master.

It is also because of the emperor's teacher, who is a bystander, that the emperor's teacher can make an objective judgment on everything in the court, and thus give Yingzheng the most suitable suggestion.

Feng Jie was nervous about his status because of the emperor's master. This fact is not true at all. If the emperor's master was in the court, it would be impossible for him to help Ying Zheng say such a famous saying.

"Ah..." Zhao Yi was at the Prince's Mansion at this time, accompanying Ying Liman and Feng Shuyi to write "The Story of the Stone" dictated by him.

Suddenly, her nose felt itchy, but she couldn't sneeze, which made Ying Liman beside her get very angry.

"Brother Yi, you're sleepy again. Look at you, can't you sleep less?" Ying Liman looked at Zhao Yi's tears and her temper suddenly rose.

Feng Shuyi, on the other hand, laid out another golden silk cloth gently, "Princess, Your Highness is probably feeling unwell due to the recent weather changes. I also often feel cold recently."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yi cast a grateful look at Feng Shuyi, "The weather has changed too fast recently, you should all wear more clothes, don't get cold!"

"That's right!" Ying Liman was fooled, but she wrinkled her nose and looked distressed, "I also found out that no matter how many clothes I wear recently, it doesn't keep me warm, instead it makes me uncomfortable!"

"It's just that at this time of year, it's too hot to wear a leather mattress, so it's really troublesome." Feng Shuyi agreed.

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's easy to say, I just planted some cotton, and it should be ripe soon. I will pick it in a few days and make cotton clothes for you. One of them is worth three or four of you now!"

"Cotton, clothes?" Feng Shuyi and Ying Liman looked at each other, a little startled, "Your Highness, what is that?"

"Brother Yi, you have hidden something good again. Is it really so magical? One can match the three or four I have now?"

"Could it be some kind of special animal skin? But it's not right, even animal skin can't make up three or four clothes!"

"Yeah, brother Yi, you are not kidding us, you bad guy!"

For Ying Liman and Feng Shuyi, the warmth-keeping ability of the cotton-padded clothes mentioned by Zhao Yi really made them question it. After all, it was not a product of this era, and it was difficult to arouse their approval.

"Well, cotton is a kind of crop, but it can't be eaten. It can only be made into clothes. Clothes made of cotton are absolutely warm. You will know when I make them." Zhao Yi explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Ying Liman and Feng Shuyi nodded cutely, doubtful, but it was obvious that Feng Shuyi was willing to believe more.

During this period, at Mrs. Feng's deliberate request, Feng Shuyi and Ying Liman came to the Prince's Mansion more often than before.

Zhao Yi didn't find it annoying either. After all, opposites attract each other, and Feng Shuyi was really eye-catching, so naturally the two of them had more contact together.

In the process of contact with Zhao Yi, Feng Shuyi found that she could not understand the new prince more and more, because his thoughts were too unconstrained.

Although I couldn't understand many of the ideas and words, I could feel the novelty in them. When I stayed by Zhao Yi's side, I would make new discoveries all the time.

Under such circumstances, Feng Shuyi naturally had a different kind of affection for Zhao Yi, and of course it was more of a fangirl-like admiration!
So when Zhao Yi said that cotton could be made into warm cotton clothes, Feng Shuyi believed it in her heart.

Then Feng Shuyi started seal carving "The Story of the Stone" with Ying Liman. The Story of the Stone was a short story that Zhao Yi told Ying Liman and Feng Shuyi when she had nothing to do recently.
