Feng Ning Yan explained with a smile, making sense and making Shen You Huang speechless and unable to get angry.
When the assistant generals and guards beside him heard this, they immediately puffed up their chests and puffed up their chests in pride.
The Southern Ning Army and the Feng Clan had already been trusted by several generations of emperors. They were stationed at the Dragon's Fang Mountain, guarding the border for the nation.
Hua Ruyu could not stand seeing Feng Ning Yan act so arrogantly. She ignored her uncle and the two princes who were present. She raised her chin and looked at Feng Ning Yan with disdain as she said:
"The rules are set by the people. Now that the overseer appointed by the emperor is here, even if you don't have any honor, you should at least be assigned a spot, right? How can there be the logic for Prince to sit in the second place? "
Previously in front of Feng Wei, she had been very respectful and cautious towards Feng Ning Yan, but now, she was absolutely fearless. This made Feng Wei even more convinced.
Feng Wei was both furious and in pain. He slammed his palm on the table, causing the table cup to clank noisily.
"Vice General Yue, take out this marshal's Howling Cloud Sword!"
With that said, everyone was shocked.
Shen Youhuang, Hua Ruyu, and Gao Zhuang were even more terrified as they recalled that Feng Wei had a family heirloom bestowed upon him by the late emperor, the Howling Cloud Sword.
This sword was a privilege granted to the Feng family by the late emperor. Under this sword, other than the imperial family, there was no one else that Feng Wei could not kill.
Shen Youhuang trembled with fear as she shouted nervously, "General Feng, do you want to rebel?!"
Feng Wei received the Howling Cloud Sword from Yue Qing. Holding it in his hands, he placed it on the table in an extremely respectful manner. He said calmly:
"Your Highness Duke Cheng, at the age of thirteen, Feng Wei has gone to battle and killed the enemy. For more than twenty years, in order to rule the city, the emperor has never slacked. All of them repaid the debt of gratitude that they owed the emperor, so he has never sent out any military overseers to interfere with the Southern Ning Army's military affairs. "
"Today, His Highness Duke Cheng blamed Feng Wei, the big and old, for not having the honor of welcoming. Feng Wei had no choice but to bring out the most precious and most meaningful Howling Cloud Sword in our Southern Ning Army to welcome His Highness Duke. I wonder if you are satisfied?" Would you like to take the seat? "
Shen Youhuang's face paled and she couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed.
He had thought that Feng Wei's request for the Howling Cloud Sword would be detrimental to him, but he didn't expect that it would actually serve as a greeting for the overseer.
Only Feng Wei would dare to think of such a strange ceremony.
If it were anyone else, who would dare to look down on the military overseer and not put the prince in their eyes?
Shen You Huang clearly knew that Feng Wei was using the late emperor's name to intimidate him, but Feng Wei and his daughter spoke respectfully without the slightest bit of disrespect, making it impossible for Shen You Huang to find any excuse to flare up.
The military could see that Shen Youhuang was weak on the outside, but the look in her eyes was full of contempt for this so-called military overseer.
Shen Youhuang clenched her fists in anger, but she could only walk with Hua Ruyu to the seat to the right of Feng Wei and sit down in a very stifled manner.
Hua Ruyu was also angered to the point that she wanted to vomit blood. She glanced at Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, who were seated at the other side.
He originally thought that he would be able to sit on equal footing with Feng Ningyan once he became the wife of Princess Cheng. He initially thought that he would be able to accept the kowtows of the Feng Family and Shen Ling Jue as well as feel proud and proud just by being the family of a military overseer.
However, because of a single sentence from Feng Ning Yan, Hua Ruyu had become a side concubine.
When it came to the dragon's teeth, Shen Youhuang was suppressed by the phoenix's might. Everything went against her will, causing her, the secondary wife, to lower her eyebrows and look at the Feng family at every turn. It truly infuriated one to see Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan pair up and love each other.
At this moment, Feng Ningyan also saw Hua Ruyu. She lightly smiled and said, "Servants, serve up the dishes."
She stood up and took a plate of steamed fish brought up by the soldiers, personally placing it on the table in front of Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu.
When Hua Ruyu saw this, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Feng Ning Yan put down the fish plate and explained in all seriousness:
"This dish is cooked with fresh bream and prawns from a stream nearby. The bream opens its intestines and breaks its stomach. The shrimps peel its skin and draw its threads. They are marinated in carved flowers and stuffed into the belly of the fish. All kinds of delicious seasonings are spread on the body of the fish to be steamed." If you want to eat prawns, first, part the fish belly, so its name is' Eating the inside out ', which is the side concubine's favorite dish. "
Hua Ruyu and Chen Youhuang immediately pulled a long face when they heard him.
The braised bream was actually called 'eating the innermost part'. If this wasn't secretly ridiculing Flower Rain for betraying the Feng family, then what was?
When Shen Lingjue heard that Feng Ning Yan had suddenly come up with the name of the dish, he couldn't help but smile. He casted a doting glance at her, but didn't stop her.
Hua Ruyu's face turned red and white for a while. Her mouth was flattened as she looked at Feng Wei in grievance, "Uncle …"
In the past, she only needed to pretend that she wanted to cry. In the past, she only needed to pretend that she wanted to cry.
But at this moment, Feng Wei only glanced at his niece and saw through her scheme. He became more and more disappointed and pretended he didn't hear or see anything.
Feng Ning Yan brought over the second dish and introduced it to everyone.
"This second dish is even more incredible. This is a secret recipe personally concocted by Prince Yu. You definitely haven't tasted it before."
As he spoke, he ordered a plate of roasted milk pigeons to be served, just like a thoughtful hostess.
She courteously let Chen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu taste it, "Pigeons are uncommon in dragon teeth. However, the past two days had been rather strange. There were often pigeons flying about inside and outside the military camp, and it was bustling with noise and excitement. A few officers of the archer battalion were unable to hold it in as they shot down the pigeons the moment they saw them. It just so happens that a feast is being held today, so I specially ordered someone to roast it with honey.
When Gao Dazhi heard this, his face turned green and he lifted his eyes to look at Shen Youhuang's back.
Although he didn't see his master's face, he knew that his master must have a murderous expression on his face right now.
Shen Youhuang looked at the silver tray in front of her, it was filled with the delicate and mysterious roasted milk pigeons. Her eyes were bloodshot with hatred.
No wonder none of those carrier pigeons came back after they were released. No wonder he couldn't get a reply from Pei Shi. They were all killed by Feng Ning Yan's men!
The name of the dish was "unable to escape even with wings"! It was simply a tight slap on Shen Youhuang's face!
Shen Youhuang glared coldly at Feng Ning Yan. She grit her teeth and said, "Princess Yufei has put a lot of thought into this. Your lordship will remember your great gift."
He had indeed committed this grudge to memory.
Although no one said anything, both sides understood the small movements that Shen You Huang and Pei Shi were making behind their backs.
Shen Lingjue heard Shen Youhuang's threats and smiled, "Fourth brother is too polite. As the young commander-in-chief of the Southern Ning Army and your sister-in-law, arranging a banquet to welcome you is nothing."
With that, he waved towards Feng Ning Yan. "My wife, you should take a seat. The roasted pigeons need to eat while it's hot. Once it's cold, the taste will be greatly reduced. "
As he spoke, he used his knife and fork to cut the pigeon meat into pieces and put them on Feng Ning Yan's plate.
Feng Ningyan looked at him with a sweet smile before she sat back down by his side.
Shen Ling Jue placed the piece of meat from the fork next to her lips and said: "This king has already improved the baking method. My wife, would you like to try it? Isn't it much better than the saltless turtledove we ate the night we killed the tiger?"
