The eighteenth day of the lunar month is Su Jinli's seventeenth birthday, she doesn't want to make a big deal, she only invited Song Ling and others like last year.
Although she acted low-key, there were still many people who came uninvited, such as Gu Roujia and Zhang Rumeng, all of whom were people of noble status, and they couldn't catch up, so she had no choice but to order the kitchen to hurry up and rush a few tables of banquets.
She originally planned to have a small gathering with Song Ling and others in the warm pavilion of Ziliju, but now she can only move to the hall of the mansion to entertain guests, but fortunately, the carbon fire in the mansion is sufficient, so she did not lose the face of Prince Qing's mansion in front of these guests.
Su Jinli sat on the top and talked to them in the midst of a group of ladies and nobles, while Gu Mingjue called Gu Mingyan and a few people to go to the Blue Sword Pavilion alone.
When Su Jinli and Zhang Rumeng were laughing, Qingyue suddenly ran over in a hurry and said in her ear: "Princess, Biluochun is not enough!" โ
The smile on Su Jinli's face was sluggish, why was there a lack of these coquettish guests' favorite Biluochun in the house?
The Biluochun that these coquettish customers want to drink is not the kind that can be bought on the market, they want that tribute tea, which is really a bit difficult!
After thinking for a moment, Su Jinli had to endure the pain and said: "Open the two cans of Yuhua tea in the house!" โ
The taste and value of Yuhua tea are much better than Biluochun, take Yuhua tea out, these coquettish guests are too late to be happy, how can they look at Prince Qing's mansion?
"Princess! This tea ...... There are only two cans in the house! Qingyue was stunned and exclaimed.
This tea is not as good as other teas, and the two pots that exist in their house are still moved by the princess from the tea warehouse of Grandpa Guo!
Although his heart was dripping blood, on his face, Su Jinli still said indifferently: "It's okay, and serve these delicate guests well!" โ
Hearing this, Qingyue no longer hesitated, and directly took the order to retreat.
After Qingyue left, Su Jinli thought about it again and said, "Qingyu, go and call Miss Song to go with you to find Qingyue, and say that I am waiting to drink her specially prepared Yuhua tea!" โ
There were forty or fifty people present, and I was afraid that the two cans of Yuhua tea would not be able to withstand use.
I still asked Song Ling, who is proficient in the tea ceremony, to add other things to it, which is more secure!
"Hmm!" Qing Yu bowed his head, and then quietly walked towards Song Ling.
As soon as she finished dealing with the tea, Su Jinli heard a harsh voice: "This princess heard that the seventh nephew and daughter-in-law were jealous, and a few days ago, she directly sent a woman to the barracks!" But is it true? โ
When she raised her eyes, she saw Princess Ning looking at her with a snicker, her eyes full of anticipation for watching a good show.
"Back to Aunt Ninghuang, my nephew and daughter-in-law did demote a shameless and flattering girl to a military prostitute the day before yesterday!" Su Jinli said without thinking.
She did what she did, there was no need to cover it up at all, she wanted to see how Princess Ning reacted.
"Tut-tut...... The seventh nephew's temperament is really bigger! That girl is just serving the Seventh Emperor's nephew according to the queen's will, so you can't tolerate her so much, and treat her like this! Princess Ning said with a look of regret.
After that, the eyes of many clan elders and unmarried nobles looking at Su Jinli became subtle.
Princess Ning said it implicitly, where is Su Jin's move to be angry, it is clearly vicious!
Poor woman, it is Fanghua's beautiful youth who has become the most lowly military prostitute, I am afraid that she will not live long!
Su Jinli's heart was slightly cold, this Princess Ning was really uneasy and kind!
Today's hall is full of guests, and Princess Ning's words are all alluding to her viciousness and jealousy, which is obviously to ruin the reputation she has picked up with great difficulty!
With a slight wave in her eyes, she had an idea, she first sighed, and then said with an embarrassed look: "Aunt Ning Huang said that she laughed, that girl didn't just seduce Ming Jue!" The bold and cheap maid put Hehuan San in Mingjue's tea, this is plotting to kill Mingjue! The murder of the prince of the dynasty should have punished the nine clans, but my pity for her was just a momentary ghost, and she was the girl rewarded by the queen mother, so she was punished lightly! โ
Speaking of this, she paused, and then continued to say helplessly: "Alas! For the sake of the face of the prince and the royal family, I had to suppress this truth and carry this pot of jealousy myself! โ
Her words pushed the dirty water that Princess Ning deliberately poured on her, and by the way, she also won the sympathy of all the guests.
The guests are thinking, this Prince Qing is really pitiful!
Obviously, that did something shameless, but she has to bear the notoriety of being ruthless and intolerable!
After feeling the change in everyone's eyes looking at Su Jinli, Princess Ning was stunned to death.
She obviously wanted to make everyone disgusted and despise Su Jinli, but how could she have a good reputation for Su Jinli who endured humiliation and knew the general situation?
"Is this princess old, or is this princess lonely and unheard of for a long time? This princess didn't even know that this demotion to a military prostitute was a light punishment? Princess Ning raised her eyebrows, and said with a strange yin and yang aura.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward.
Princess Ning's dissatisfaction with Su Jinli in her words was really too strong, but anyone with a little brain could hear it.
Why did one of her elders target Su Jinli so much?
The minds of the women suddenly became active, and they all thought about what was going on between Su Jinli and Princess Ning.
"Imperial sister-in-law, enough is enough! Today is Li'er's birthday, don't make everyone unhappy! The eldest princess of Shunyi shouted coldly.
When Princess Ning mentioned the, she wanted to have a seizure, but she endured it because of the royal face.
Fortunately, Li'er was smart enough to round out Princess Ning's ulterior motives, and she was so relieved.
I thought that Princess Ning would shut up if she couldn't please her, but she didn't expect that she would directly ignore the reserve of her elders and directly target Su Jinli!
The people present are all the ladies and ladies with heads and faces of this Dayan, if Princess Ning continues to toss like this, I am afraid that in less than one day, Princess Ning and Su Jinli will become the laughing stock of Mrs. Kyoto's after-dinner tea and laughter!
The eldest princess Shunyi is known as a majestic among her peers, and she is obviously displeased, so Princess Ning has to close her mouth stupidly and bow her head to eat snacks.
Seeing this, the eldest princess of Shunyi withdrew her majestic gaze.
"Li'er worked hard to maintain my royal face, but she ended up with a bad reputation of being jealous and ruthless, but she was really wronged!" She looked at Su Jinli tenderly and said with pity.
Su Jinli knew that the eldest princess of Shunyi was defending her and justifying her name, so her eyes turned red with a busy cooperation, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said gratefully: "Auntie is serious!" That's what a royal woman should do! โ
As soon as the words fell, Gu Roujia suddenly spoke: "The Seventh Emperor's sister-in-law really understands the general situation, taking care of the overall situation!" Roujia admires it very much, and will definitely give this matter to the queen mother, so that the queen mother will reward you! โ
Su Jinli hurriedly said: "Eighth Emperor Sister is polite! โ
Gu Roujia smiled politely, lowered her head to eat refreshments, and Su Jinli quickly retracted her gaze.
If she could, she wouldn't want to say a word to Gu Roujia!
After a little farce, the servants of the palace rushed out and put on the delicacies, and the whole banquet was on the right track.
Just after Su Jinxiu and other nobles congratulated Su Jinli on her birthday, when she was about to start the banquet, Zhang Rumeng noticed that Song Ling, who was sitting next to Yunyang, was gone.
"Why is Miss Song missing?" She wondered.
Although the relationship between her and Song Ling was tepid, after Su Jinli and others married into the royal family, she would sit next to Song Ling at every big banquet, and over time, she also developed a little affection.
Therefore, she really cares about Song Ling's whereabouts at the moment.
As soon as she asked, Su Nian behind Yunyang saluted: "Back to Miss Zhang, Miss Song just went out of the hall with the Qingyu girl beside Prince Qing!" โ
Zhang Rumeng bowed her head, since she left with the people around Su Jinli, it must be safe, and she didn't have to worry.
"This princess has prepared a surprise for all your distinguished guests, and Miss Song has gone to help the stupid girls of this princess prepare!" Su Jinli explained with a smile.
"Oh? What is the surprise? Su Jinxiu was the first to ask curiously.
The other ladies and ladies also looked at Su Jinli, waiting for her to solve their doubts.
"If it's a surprise, it can't be said! Otherwise, how can it be called a surprise? Su Jinli politely declined the question with a smile.
Hearing this, all the women sighed in unison, and then they all said that they would wait for the surprise to come before starting the banquet, Su Jinli thought that Song Ling and they were almost coming back.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Song Ling leading Qingyue, Qingyu and a group of young maids in this mansion to walk in with fragrant tea.
"The courtiers (slaves) knock to see Prince Qing!"
"No rudeness!" Su Jinli smiled and raised his hand.
"The courtiers wish Prince Qing and Princess Yongchang and happiness! A cup of tea is served! Song Ling was blessed again.
"Oh? I have heard that Miss Song is good at tea ceremony, and this princess is looking forward to the tea in your hand! Submit it quickly! Su Jinli said happily.
Song Ling bowed her head, and then walked slowly to the top, and walked to Su Jinli's side, where she respectfully served the tea with both hands.
Su Jinli took it with her own hands, and then opened the cup, but saw that the tea in the cup was clear and clear, and there were a few pink plum blossoms floating on it, which was beautiful in an instant.
"The name of this tea is 'Bibo Liren', and it is cooked with Yuhua tea and the unique pink plum of Hanshan Temple." Song Ling showed a rare smile and patiently explained.
Su Jinli immediately took a sip, and then praised: "Good tea!" Mouthful! The name is also wonderful! This princess is very happy! โ
Listening to her unstingy praise, all the ladies and nobles stretched their necks to look at the tea cup in the hands of Qingyue and the others.
Presumably, the surprise that Su Jinli just said was the fragrant tea personally prepared by Song Ling with Yuhua tea as the base!
Su Jinli knew everyone's thoughts, and did not delay, and waved his hand boldly: "Qingyue, you will soon present the surprise to all distinguished guests!" โ
"Slaves obey!" Qingyue and the other girls answered neatly, and then distributed the tea in their hands to each guest in the hall in order.
