A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 27 Improved Dishes
Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining talked a lot in private, planning how to "deal" with the prince tomorrow.
The next day, after attending court, the prince came to the empress dowager's bedroom again.
"My two sisters, let me escort you out of the palace!"
The prince had changed into his daily clothes, a water blue shirt and wide-sleeved robe, and stood with his hands behind his back. The prince, Liang Jingquan, had a gentle and elegant temperament. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a scholar from someone's family.
The prince invited Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining to ride in the same carriage.
The prince's carriage was of extremely high specifications, with floral, bird and animal patterns painted on the interior. It was spacious and luxurious, much more gorgeous than the carriages of the prime minister's residence and the duke's residence.
"Sister Qing, have you tasted the delicacies of the capital during your time back in Beijing? The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor are usually busy with official duties, and your family is frugal, and you don't have a brother. Have you visited the fun places in the capital?"
Lin Qingyang has not been back in Beijing for long. Although she has a good relationship with Zhuang Weining, she has not spent much time outside the palace. She has tasted some delicious food, but has not had many other activities. Although she has seen some in her previous life, she has not had many opportunities to go out since she entered the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, Qing Yang rarely returns to Beijing. Although she keeps in touch with Ning Er, they only do girlish things together. She has been back for a short time and has not seen much of the world."
Lin Qingyang answered shyly. After all, the person in front of him was the Crown Prince, who was envied by everyone in the capital, so Lin Qingyang naturally had to be a little "shy". Although, at this moment, she felt disgusted.
It was this gentle and refined man in front of her that made Lin Qingyang realize the fickleness of men, the tendency to get bored with the old and love the new, and human nature.
“Sister Qing, you don’t have to call me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the time. Can’t you just call me cousin? I’ll take you for a walk later.” The crown prince’s smile was full of tenderness.
Lin Qingyang kept his head lowered the whole time.
"Brother Crown Prince, you are so busy, I can take care of Sister Qing. If you are worried about safety, just call my brother." Zhuang Weining took over the conversation "ignorantly".
"How can your brother be free? Hasn't he been busy with his clinic recently? It's the one not far from my Prince's Mansion."
Zhuang Weining blinked and thought for a while, "Yeah, he was just doing it for the novelty of making money, but he really cared about it. Recently, Prince An was out of the capital on business, so he was not idle either. It's better than living a life of debauchery, right?"
"Hasn't your father returned to the capital? After your brother gets married, he may not be able to take you out to play." The prince probed.
"It's too early, but I'm looking forward to him getting married. It's a pity that my brother is not ambitious enough, otherwise, I would definitely let Sister Qing be my sister-in-law, so that we won't be separated. Alas." After saying that, he spread his hands with a sigh.
Zhuang Weining still looks like a little girl in front of her relatives, but she is more "gentle" in front of outsiders.
Lin Qingyang had ignored their conversation, but Zhuang Weining suddenly mentioned her, which scared him. Marrying the prince? What a joke!
The prince just looked at the two people with a smile.
After leaving the palace, the carriage drove south for a while and arrived at the newly opened restaurant that the prince mentioned.
The carriage stopped and three people got off one after another.
The storefront in front of me is not very big. This restaurant is in an alley. It can be found, so I guess the food must be good.
Although the restaurant is small, the furnishings inside are not simple. It seems like a temporary conversion from some high-end courtyard. Although the decoration is not luxurious, it is elegant in simplicity, and the ingredients used are all top-quality.
The first floor only has a storefront, unlike ordinary restaurants that have tables and chairs displayed outside; the second floor has a series of private rooms, where meetings, visits to friends, and banquets are kept extremely confidential.
The prince's attendant gave a sign to a man who looked like the boss in the store, and that man led a few people to the innermost room on the second floor. It seemed that an appointment was required to come in. So, this place was not open to casual people.
The decoration in the private room is still elegant and fresh.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really knows how to find a place. This place is really good, quiet and safe. No one will come to disturb us, and ordinary people can't come in. But how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know such a place?" Zhuang Weining looked curious.
"I am the prince. There are many people in the capital who are looking for me. This is not as safe as those restaurants with people coming and going. Besides, we are just having a meal today. There is no need to bring unnecessary trouble to the two girls."
What the prince said seems to make sense, but if you don't want to cause trouble, why don't you stay away from them?
The waiter outside came in and served the food. There were only three simple dishes and a soup, but the simple dishes were cooked very exquisitely.
"This color and style are quite good. Let's try it and see if it's worthy of His Royal Highness' recommendation."
Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang tasted several dishes and praised them highly.
“The chef of this dish must not be from Beijing. The taste is sweet, but acceptable. The sweetness is just right.” Zhuang Weining commented.
"It tastes really good. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it's good. It seems like it's really worth recommending." Lin Qingyang expressed his opinion.
"Brother Prince, the person who recommended this restaurant to you couldn't be the owner of this restaurant, right? I'd like to know who is such a good eater."
The prince smiled but said nothing.
"It doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't tell me. After all, people outside may not know me even if I tell you. I just wonder if a restaurant like this accepts reservations from my family. I feel like these dishes are very time-consuming to prepare." Zhuang Weining looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked again.
"They probably don't accept large banquet orders. Their dishes need to be ordered in advance because it's troublesome to select ingredients and prepare dishes, and the cooking process of a dish is complicated. The boss is from the south, and he combines Beijing cuisine with southern cuisine to suit the tastes of Beijing people."
The prince explained patiently.
The three people who had the meal were very happy.
After finishing their meal, it was time to go back home. After leaving the restaurant, the three of them returned to the prince's carriage. The prince had promised to send them back home.
The carriage started, moved slowly forward, and left the alley.
No one of the three people in the carriage noticed that they were clearly seen by another person when they were leaving the restaurant.
