4 I am a dandy prince
◎Not a great writer◎
Tianxianglou, private room on the second floor
"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. What would you like to order?" The waiter handed over the menu quickly. "Stand aside and wait for orders.
Bai Yu brought a few servants to this small restaurant for dinner. He took the menu, flipped through it a few times, and then closed it. He asked the waiter beside him, "What are your signature dishes?"
"Sir, you've asked the right question. The matsutake chicken in our restaurant is absolutely the best."
"Is it really that good? I want to try it. Give me one portion. Also, a bowl of wine-brewed dumplings and two plates of pear blossom cake."
"Okay, one serving of matsutake chicken, one bowl of wine-brewed dumplings, and two plates of pear blossom cake. Grandpa, please wait a moment."
The dishes from the kitchen came out very quickly and soon the ordered dishes were brought up by the waiter.
"Sir, here are the pear blossom cakes, wine-brewed dumplings, and our signature dish, matsutake chicken."
"You serve the dishes quite quickly here. How about I try the Matsutake chicken first?" Bai Yu gently picked up a piece of chicken and put it into her mouth, feeling the soft meat in full contact with her mouth. As soon as she took a bite, the juice burst out and the aroma rushed directly to her taste buds.
"Not bad, worthy of being a signature dish." Bai Yu praised.
The waiter was very happy to hear this. He said, "To be honest, our boss hired a chef who just came out of the palace to make this dish. That chef used to cook for the emperor in the palace. How could it not be delicious?"
"Oh? She came out of the palace... How come she is in a tavern like this?"
The waiter next to him heard that Bai Yu seemed to be interested, so he continued to talk, chattering: "Young Master, you don't know that the chef took the initiative to find our boss a few months ago. Our restaurant is well-known in the capital, not to mention the whole country. I think the chef also took a fancy to our restaurant..."
Listening quietly to the waiter gossiping.
After Bai Yu finished his meal, he paid the bill with the silver he had exchanged from the system store.
When we walked out of the restaurant, it was almost dusk, and the servant beside us came forward to remind us, "Sir, we should go back now."
"Okay, let's go!"
In the restaurant, the waiter put away the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen.
"Huang Da, today another guest praised your cooking skills."
"Um."
"What a mute person," muttered the waiter.
However, he didn't know that the chef in front of him was having a hard time expressing his suffering. If Bai Yu was here, he would have recognized that this man was the current crown prince of the Yi Dynasty, Yi Yuean.
Now, under the pseudonym Huang Da, he works as a chef in Tianxianglou.
Thinking of his father, the emperor, who was not in tune with reality, Yi Yuean had a headache. When he came of age, he was sent out of Songzhu Academy, saying that reading thousands of books was not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and that he should feel with his heart and experience the people's sentiments.
If you say you are experiencing the people's feelings, you are really experiencing the people's feelings. You didn't give a penny. If you hadn't practiced some cooking skills in order to make your mother happy, wouldn't you be begging?
In other dynasties, brothers fought for power, but the emperor of this dynasty had only one child, Yi Yuean, and he was the undisputed crown prince.
Others envied Yi Yuean's stable life, but they had no idea that Yi Yuean prayed every day, hoping that his father and mother would have another prince to share his pain.
I really don’t want to be a prince!
However, Yi Yuean remembered that the letter sent by his father a few days ago said that he could return to Songzhu Academy the day after tomorrow.
My life here is about to end, and I am reluctant to leave.
"Mr. Huang, are the three servings of matsutake chicken ready?" The waiter came in to urge for the dishes.
"Right away." Yi Yuean skillfully put the chicken into the pot and started stir-frying.
Let’s end it now!
Houfu
"Yu'er, have a great time today." An Lanhui stepped forward and took off Bai Yu's cloak.
"Very well, mother." Bai Yu sat down, took a sip of tea and said.
"Then don't worry, mother. Relax for a few days. After this period of time, you won't be able to play when you go to school."
"Got it, Mom."
When he returned to his yard, he saw a set of four treasures of the study on the table.
"Lüzhu, what is this?" Baiyu asked the maid who was sweeping the floor.
"Sir, this is from Master Xie, congratulating you on your admission to Songzhu Academy."
This is not a congratulation at all, it should be a deliberate mockery, Bai Yu thought to himself.
"Luzhu, ask Chuanfu to take a few people to General Xie's residence."
"Prince, do you want to return the gift?"
"No, let Chuan Fu tell Xie Mingxuan that I have been studying so hard that I forget to eat and sleep. These may not be enough. I need a few more."
“…Yes…the prince.”
At this time, in the study of the imperial palace, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, reviewing memorials.
The eunuch Xiao Fuzi came in and said, "Your Majesty, An Yi is back."
"Send Him in"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He put down the memorial in his hand and looked at the investigation presented by An Yi.
"It turns out to be the son of Marquis Anping." He waved his hand to signal him to go down.
"Xiao Fuzi, have you delivered the message to the prince?"
"Your Majesty, I personally brought someone to deliver it."
Seeing the information about the two meeting at Tianxiang Tower, and thinking about the two going to Songzhu Academy together the day after tomorrow, the emperor couldn't help but sigh: "These two are destined to be together."
However, there were rumors in the capital that the son of Marquis Anping was extremely mean and unlearned, but news from Songzhu Academy was that this boy was an extraordinary talent.
Interesting, really interesting, is it a strategy of keeping a low profile or a fraud?
I am very curious.
And the prince, I wonder what he has learned during these days among the people?
The emperor stood up and looked at the vast landscape behind him. The world is still the world of the young after all. He said, "Xiao Fuzi."
"I am here, what do you want, Your Majesty?"
"Pass on my oral instructions. I heard that Songzhu Academy is full of talented people. I am very pleased. Now I intend to personally consider all the students who will be enrolled this year. The time will be set for the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As Xiao Fuzi left, the hall fell silent again.
Huh one one one
The wind blew in from the open window, creating ripples and messing up the book on the table. It turned page by page. A pair of hands came over and held it down. The book just turned to the last page, and on the cover was written "How to Become a Dandy".
