"The most direct benefit I've gained is the various policies of various dynasties. They're very useful and inspiring. Another thing is that my horizons have broadened, and I can now think about problems more deeply and further than before."
"Indeed, putting aside everything else, just the various policies of various dynasties are very instructive." The emperor affirmed the prince's statement, then thought for a moment and urged, "Be sure to flip through it when you have time, and read it several times. This kind of thing always keeps you fresh."
In fact, the prince is such a grown-up that he understands all these principles. The emperor himself knows that his words of advice are a bit redundant, but the emperor also said that it is not only the emperor's advice to the crown prince, but also the advice from a father to his son. So, in a sense, the prince is very lucky.
Several people talked about history books for a while, ranging from their views on the history books to the interpretation of the policies in them, including how to use them in the Dai Viet court, which ones are appropriate and which ones are inappropriate, etc. Several people had a brief discussion.
It was not until the evening that Yue Chengyu returned to Prince Rui's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Yue Chengyu habitually walked towards the original courtyard. It was not until he had walked halfway that Yue Chengyu reacted and pretended nothing had happened, turned around and walked towards the new courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt a cool breeze, which formed a sharp contrast with the stuffiness outside. Yue Chengyu instantly felt the happiness of modern people.
Yue Chengyu walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. He watched the man leaning on the sofa and eating the fruit bit by bit. On the TV was a picture that looked like a human but not a human (animation).
He said, "Princess, father and others said they would come over tomorrow to celebrate our move." Yue Chengyu couldn't help but twitch his mouth after he said that. In his heart, he felt that his father's excuse was a bit too careless.
Ye Han was caught off guard and frightened. "What did you say? Who wants to come over?" Ye Han seriously suspected that he had heard it wrong and asked again in disbelief.
"Father, Mother, and yes, my brother's family." Yue Chengyu answered very clearly, and Ye Han was sure that he had not heard wrongly.
After calming himself down, he asked, "Do you need to prepare anything?"
"We may need to prepare a meal. Just take care of the arrangements."
"Okay, does anyone have any dietary restrictions? For example, are there any food allergies? What foods do you like and dislike? Can you eat spicy food? And so on."
"My father and mother don't seem to have any allergies, but I'm not sure about my sister-in-law. As for spicy food, I'm not sure if they can eat it. After all, there are no chili peppers in the Dai Viet Dynasty."
"I understand. I'll prepare half of the meal light, just in case Mother and the others can't handle spicy food." After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "What do you think we should prepare? Stir-fry or something fresh that Father and the others haven't tried?"
"Just prepare as you see fit. Anything is fine."
"Well, let me think about it. I'll draw up a menu later and you can see if it's suitable."
Yue Chengyu nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Han stopped talking after seeing Yue Chengyu nod. His brain started working, thinking about what to eat tomorrow.
Let's talk about delicacies from land and sea. To be honest, everyone who comes tomorrow will eat a lot. They have tried everything at Dayue. But if we make sure they have something they have never eaten before, what if they happen to not like it?
Ye Han casually picked up the notebook and pen under the coffee table, and wrote down every idea that came to his mind. However, he crossed it out after thinking about it, and then wrote it down again and crossed it out again, feeling very conflicted.
Ye Han cleared his mind again and sorted the mess into three categories: food, drinks, and desserts.
Sure enough, after writing these categories in the notebook, Ye Han felt much more refreshed.
Starting with the simple things, Ye Han skipped the food at the top and prepared to start with drinks.
"For wine, get some white wine, beer, and red wine. If they can't finish it, they can take it away. For drinks, order a few cups of milk tea." This was what Ye Han was thinking. When he mentioned this to Yue Chengyu, Yue Chengyu said he had no objection. However, regarding the milk tea, Yue Chengyu said that if he bought it, the tea would be too obvious and not a good tea. He wasn't sure if he could get used to it.
After hearing this, Ye Han complained in his heart, "Your family is so noble." But even though he complained, Ye Han knew that what Yue Chengyu said was true. For the queen and the crown princess who were used to drinking premium tea, the tea used in modern milk tea shops might not be drinkable.
"Then buy the raw materials and make it yourself. Your Majesty, please contribute all your collection of fine teas." Ye Han immediately decided to listen to the advice and make it himself.
After the drinks were ready, they started to decide on desserts. This was easy, as Ye Han prepared some things that were not available in Dai Viet, such as cakes, egg tarts and other Western pastries. In order to prevent people from getting used to the food, he also prepared some classic Dai Viet pastries, with a complete variety.
When it was time to prepare the dishes, Ye Han also ordered some of the chef's specialties. The dishes of the Great Yue Dynasty were mostly light, so these dishes were relatively light. Because Ye Han had a wide variety of spices, he prepared some spicy and numbing dishes. In addition, he also prepared a barbecue.
Finally, after more than half an hour, Ye Han handed his handwritten menu to Yue Chengyu. "Your Majesty, do you see anything wrong?"
Yue Chengyu took the menu handed over by Ye Han and asked, "What is this barbecue?"
“It’s just grilling the food.”
Yue Chengyu nodded in understanding, then casually said, "Just do as you see fit."
"Then it's settled. No changes. It's a headache." Actually, Ye Han had arranged this quite easily, and he'd considered it thoroughly, but he was too lazy to think late at night. But he said what he had to say. While he might have said it, his arrangements were indeed thorough, taking every aspect into consideration.
"What is this thing you are looking at that looks like a human but not a human at the same time?" After the matter was settled, Yue Chengyu once again demonstrated his "virtue" of asking questions in a timely manner when he had any doubts.
"What does it mean to look like a human and not be a human? That's called animation."
"Oh, so what is anime."
"Anime is... um... it's not important. It's like opera, with a plot, but it's not performed by real people, it's drawn. This anime is called Detective Conan, and it's about... something like that."
Out of curiosity, Yue Chengyu also started watching with Ye Han. Ye Han released the pause button and the two of them started watching.
"Is the murderer among this group of people? But no one has left."
"It must be among this group of people. Would you like to take a guess, Your Highness?"
"I think it's the man wearing glasses." Yue Chengyu said as he pointed.
"I think it looks like that middle-aged woman."
"How do you know? That woman has never left our sight. If it was her, where did she find the time?"
"It's just a guess. Who it is will be revealed at the end."
