Fang Fu took a step forward and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, an elderly lady next to the main seat suddenly said: "It is indeed the old green tea made by the He family. I used to like this tea, and the concubine makes it every year." Send someone to bring me some. I've gotten older in the past few years and I'm prone to sleepiness, so I gradually stopped drinking it. It still tastes the same as expected!"
"This is the old feudal lord of the Chen family in Hanyang Mansion." Fang Fu hurriedly approached Shen Tianshu and said in his ear, feeling a little surprised.
The Chen family of Hanyang Prefecture has generations of generals.
Mrs. Chen's husband died in the battlefield when she was young. She raised her three sons to adulthood by herself. Later, she also had two bones buried in the battlefield. Her only remaining youngest son still leads the army to guard the northwest border for Daqi. It can be said that she has a full family. Loyal and loyal.
In recognition of the Chen family's contribution to Daqi and Mrs. Chen's achievements in teaching her son, the imperial court also upgraded her titles one after another.
Chen Lao Fengjun is now a first-class concubine conferred by the emperor, the highest rank among foreign wives, and she is rewarded every year in the palace.
It can be said that in the entire Huguang world, Chen Laofengjun is second only to Concubine Fengrong.
It's just that she is old now and has no girls of the right age at home, so she rarely gets involved in these miscellaneous things.
The reason why I came to the banquet this year was because the concubine specially invited her here. No one expected that she would actually speak for Shen Tianshu.
At this time, the old feudal lord had spoken. The people in the pavilion who were still waiting and watching, or who didn't know who to believe, immediately unified their opinions.
"Isn't it just Laoqing tea? This is produced in Puqi. I have watched my grandfather and father drink this since I was a child. It tastes absolutely right!"
"The He family's tea-making skills are second to none. No wonder even the concubine likes to drink it. When I entered the room just now, my hands and feet felt cold. After sitting here and drinking two cups of tea, my whole body feels warm."
"This is my first time drinking this tea. I really didn't expect it to be produced locally. Coming to the palace is a great way to gain experience. After I go back this time, I have to ask someone to buy some for us to take home."
Although the Huang family is a wealthy local family, in front of aristocratic families, it is not enough.
In the past hundred years, although there have been several second-ranked Jinshi, they have not made any splash.
Although she sent a daughter into the palace and was quite popular with the Holy Heart, she was never welcomed by the Queen Mother, and she was only promoted to the concubine position after giving birth to the emperor's eldest son.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother's funeral a few years ago that she finally rose to prominence and was named a noble concubine. Everyone in the Huang family also followed the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.
Nowadays, everyone is giving way to the Huang family, not because of the imperial concubine, but because of the emperor's eldest son, Li Yongduo.
The emperor is now past his prime and does not yet have a legitimate son. If the palace continues to have no children, it is very likely that the emperor's eldest son will be made the crown prince in the end. By then, the Huang family will be the crown prince's mother-in-law, and their status will be very different from today.
However, the Huang family behaved in a petty and petty manner and could not get on the stage. Everyone usually looked down upon him and did not want to offend him. Today, when Old Fengjun Chen opened his mouth, they naturally wanted to step on him.
Huang Tingshan stood at the table, her face turning red and white, feeling that everyone in the cabinet was looking at her with ridicule and contempt.
His cheeks were even more burning and painful, as if he had been slapped hard by someone.
The few girls following Huang Tingshan didn't know what black tea or old green tea was. Seeing that Huang Tingshan's bragging was exposed, they didn't have the confidence to speak out.
They all came from ordinary families. Although they were lucky enough to come to the palace for a banquet because they received an invitation, they did not dare to miss Li Zian at all, so they gathered around Huang Tingshan to fawn over her, hoping to get some benefits, so they all kept their heads down. Dare to speak up.
At this time, Mrs. Yuan had already changed her clothes and came back. As soon as she entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere in the pavilion was not quite right, and the eyes she looked at her seemed to have the feeling of watching the excitement.
She looked around, walked towards her daughter and said, "Tingshan, what's going on? Why is your face so red?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Tingshan just mistakenly took the old green tea used by the palace to entertain guests as Anhua dark tea." A lady next to her explained, "Actually, they are both dark teas, and the texture and taste are different. It’s not big, and it’s not a big deal. But after all, she is a young girl and has a thin skin, so isn’t this a bit embarrassing!”
As soon as I heard what this person said, he was talking about the Huang family.
And while she was talking, she glanced at Shen Tianshu quietly with her eyes.
Yuanshi immediately understood that this matter must be related to Shen Tianshu.
Her first reaction was that because she just wanted to make Shen Tianshu look embarrassed, she wanted to retaliate against herself by making Tingshan look embarrassed in public.
Yuanshi looked at Shen Tianshu with an evil look in her eyes. Although she wanted to stain Shen Tianshu's skirt just now, didn't the cup of tea fall entirely on her?
This little girl has nothing to lose in the film, so why is she so vindictive? He actually went out of his way to bully his daughter while he was away.
Shen Yunhui felt uncomfortable all over just when she was caught in Yuan's peripheral vision.
Looking at Shen Tianshu after quarreling with others, facing the sharp eyes of Yuan's mother and daughter, but still sitting firmly and still in the mood to drink tea and snacks, I admired my eldest sister even more, and I will never do it again after making up my mind. Provoke her.
When Huang Tingshan saw her mother coming over, the grievances she had been holding back suddenly surged into her heart, and her eye circles instantly turned red.
Mrs. Yuan pulled her daughter aside and coaxed in a low voice: "Little ancestor, please don't cry. It won't look good if your makeup is stained by crying."
Huang Tingshan's voice choked up as she said, "Mom, I want to go home. I don't want to stay here and be laughed at."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The concubine and the princess haven't come yet. I've asked about it. The prince will be here soon! How could he just leave like that before he saw the real Buddha!"
"I lost such a big person today, how can I have the dignity to see the prince?" The more Huang Tingshan thought about it, the more she felt that she was so embarrassed just now, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"Tingshan, don't be willful." Yuanshi said in a slightly stern tone, "How did mother teach you at home? Can't you handle such a trivial matter? The imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and she was not granted the title until the emperor's eldest son was one year old. Concubine, I was laughed at by many people in the palace, but what do you think now?
"As long as you can marry the Crown Prince, the entire Prince Rui's Mansion will be yours from now on, and these people will all bow to you from now on. Who dares to laugh in your face, and who will remember what scandal you made today?"
The mother and daughter were talking when they heard someone outside shouting: "Princess Fengrong has arrived! Princess Rui has arrived!"
Yuanshi quickly poked her daughter and said: "Hurry up, stop making trouble, mother will take you over to talk."
