Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.
Only after being thrown into the mass grav...
His summer palace was filled with roses, all kinds of which were grown.
However, he had never seen such a peculiar variety before.
The roses he had ever seen, regardless of variety, were all only bright red, light red, pink, white, purplish red, etc., and he had never seen any other colors.
He couldn't resist stepping forward, intending to take a closer look.
A few people were eating and chatting at the booth, and they couldn't help but frown when someone approached.
The retired emperor, who originally only wanted to come and see the roses, was drawn to the steaming dishes that had just been placed on the table as he approached.
To be honest, the dishes did look quite ordinary.
But the fragrance could instantly wake him up.
This person is a top-notch gourmet who has tasted countless delicacies.
You don't even need to taste it yourself; just by smelling it, you can instantly tell that this dish is absolutely delicious.
"How can I help you?"
The people in the booth saw him getting closer and closer, and the veins on their foreheads started to bulge.
The guy who was being stopped nearby was getting increasingly anxious.
A hand reached out to stop him, and a cool voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Grandfather."
Old Sun also hurriedly stepped forward, "Hey, sir, let's go to the private room first."
The retired emperor realized he had been somewhat out of line, his face flushed red, and he smiled and bowed to the group in apology. He didn't even bother to look at the roses anymore and hurried away.
Old Master Sun naturally didn't take them to his private room.
Yun Zhiyi gave them that private room, and they all agreed not to bring anyone else.
After all, everyone comes to eat every day, and there are only so many seats. If too many people bring, there won't be enough room.
Upon learning that the Emperor Emeritus was coming, he began to try to reserve a private room.
However, at that time, all the private rooms were booked a month in advance.
He put in a lot of effort and used his connections to buy the private room from seven of them.
Counting the days, it just happens to be around this time.
It had already been more than a day, so there are only six days left to use this private room.
"Rose Pavilion, what a nice name."
Upon seeing the sign on the side of the private room door, the Emperor Emeritus's eyes lit up. "Do you also have those green roses like the ones downstairs?"
Old Sun wasn't sure. "I don't know either. Why don't we go in and take a look?"
He knew that the Emperor Emeritus liked roses, so each private room was decorated with flowers corresponding to the name of the room.
That's why he chose Rose Pavilion, but he wasn't sure if it was the same as the one downstairs.
After all, Wei Man Zhai always seems to be able to find all sorts of strange and unusual flowers.
The door was pushed open, and the first thing you smelled was the rich fragrance of roses.
Normally, restaurants and eateries rarely display strongly scented flowers.
Because it easily mixes with the flavors of the food, it leads to a poor customer experience.
At first, the guests at Wei Man Zhai were not used to it.
But the food was just so delicious.
And I don't know if it's because the aroma of the food is too strong, or if they've just gotten used to it.
Dishes infused with floral fragrances not only have a unique and harmonious aroma, but also a distinctive one.
Eating vegetables while smelling the fragrance of flowers makes for a unique experience.
This enjoyment is not obvious in the lobby.
This is especially noticeable in private rooms, so people who have the opportunity and means will try to book a private room in advance.
When the door was fully pushed open and the group entered, the Emperor Emeritus's eyes lit up when he saw the situation inside the private room, and he immediately strode in.
The layout of the private room has quietly changed a lot during this period.
Previously, due to time constraints, we didn't hire a professional to fix it.
Later, Lu Jingyi specially invited someone skilled in interior set design to come and renovate it.
The flowers sent by Yun Zhiyi will also be arranged according to each different scene.
The entire interior of this rose pavilion is designed to showcase the characteristics of roses.
Next to the dining table on the left, the entire wall is covered with climbing yellow roses.
But it wasn't crowded.
Two rose bushes were placed on either side of the wall.
A delicate little fence is placed at the base of the wall.
The rose vines climbed up the fence.
Due to time constraints, the material becomes sparser towards the top, creating a gradual transition with suitable shades.
A long, floating wooden frame was also erected at the corner where it meets this wall.
The rose vines also extended onto the wooden frame, blooming with roses of varying shades of yellow, interspersed with green and pink buds.
On some raised platforms nearby, there are also green rose bushes like those downstairs.
The green and yellow of the roses blend together without appearing out of place.
In the middle of the dining table, there was also a pot of roses. Strangely, this pot of roses had roses of various colors.
The combination of strong and light shades, though seemingly disparate, doesn't appear gaudy; instead, it creates a unique sense of variation.
The retired emperor looked over here and then over there, finally leaning on the table, wanting to move the potted rose bush for a closer look.
"Be careful, sir."
Grandpa Sun hurriedly reminded him, and Fu Tingchen also rushed forward to help the old man who was about to fall.
The round table in the private room has also been modified.
It's hollow in the middle with a base, just the right size to hold a potted plant.
The carpenter made an extra rotating tabletop on the table.
This way, when guests are eating, they don't need to stand up to pick up the food, which is often blocked by flowers; they can simply turn the dish around.
"Wow, this table is quite ingenious and convenient."
The retired emperor was in a very good mood and was satisfied with everything he saw.
After a while of fussing, everyone finally sat down to drink tea and order food.
After taking a sip of tea, the Emperor Emeritus exclaimed in surprise, "Excellent tea!"
He then turned to look at Old Sun and praised with a smile, "Pengju is very thoughtful."
He thought it was tea brought by Old Master Sun himself.
Everyone knows he's a tea fanatic; he only likes to drink good tea, and if he can't find it elsewhere, he brings his own.
