CHAPTER XIX

The day after tomorrow is the tea banquet in the prince's mansion, and the two Liangdi in the backyard will also entertain the guests at the banquet.

Wen Jing asked Lan Qian to tell the two Liangdi about the process of the banquet in the morning, but Song Liangdi was absent-minded all the time, playing with her fingers.

Wen Jing glanced at her, but still said: "This tea banquet, His Royal Highness and I attach great importance to it. Song Liangdi and Du Liangdi are both from good backgrounds, so I won't say much about the rules. It's about the face of the entire Prince's Mansion, if it's something I'm not considerate of, you can also help me take care of it. ”

"The lady was attentive and the arrangement was excellent. Many local concubines didn't expect that the concubines would just listen to the mother's orders. Du Liangdi chuckled, and she followed what Wen Jing said.

Song Liangdi glared at Du Liangdi fiercely, snorted lightly, but didn't say anything. She also knows the importance of it, and she doesn't dare to be a demon at such a time.

After getting down to business, the atmosphere was relaxed.

Everyone knew that Tian Fengyi was pregnant, but Wen Jing asked people to hide the matter, except for Song Liangdi, no one wanted to refute the arrangement of the crown princess.

Song Liangdi told Tian Fengyi about being pregnant in a few words, and the concubines' faces were not good, and Ruan Zhaoxun was about to smash his veil.

Now that everyone knows about it, Wen Jing has no intention of covering it up for Tian Fengyi: "This is a happy event, and there is nothing to hide." It's Tian Fengyi, who is shallow, so I asked her to raise it first. ”

This is also to blame Tian Fengyi herself, she was pregnant for a month, and she was red, and she didn't listen to the words of the imperial doctor to take care of it, so she had to embarrass Miss An.

Yesterday afternoon, I called Miss An to paint the pattern, and the painting lasted until it was dark. For three hours, I didn't even give Miss An a saliva to drink, and when Miss An came out of the Water Pavilion, everyone collapsed.

After a while, everyone in the backyard knew about it.

When Song Liangdi heard that Tian Fengyi was really pregnant, she was so angry that she began to speak freely.

Wen Jing symbolically reprimanded them and sent them away. She woke up early in the morning and wanted to remove her hair and sleep for a while.

Standing up with a yawn, the second-class maidservant came in again to report, saying that Du Liangdi asked to see her.

Wen Jing raised his eyebrows, Dushi? Didn't she just leave: "Let her in." ”

Du Liangdi had been walking behind everyone just now, Song Liangdi was still scolding Tian Fengyi in her mouth, and Ruan Zhaoxun and several people also got together to say that Tian Fengyi was pregnant, and she had no intention of noticing herself. Seeing that the people had gone away, Du Liangdi returned the same way.

After Du Liangdi saluted, Wen Jing waved her hand and motioned for her to sit: "Is there something wrong with Du Liangdi looking for me, or is the tea in Changchun Garden too fragrant, and Du Liangdi is not leaving?" ”

Du Liangdi covered her lips and smiled, a little hesitant in her heart for a moment. It can be seen that the princess has a good impression of her, and between the lightning and fire, Du Liangdi turned a corner, re-typed the draft, and said: "It's the concubine who thinks a lot, and the mother loves us every day." Niangniang has been so busy recently, but the concubine can't share her worries for Niangniang, and she is really ashamed. ”

"The concubine brought two grandmothers from home, although she was a little stupid, but she was a good hand in strength. If the mother does not dislike it, she will send them some work, so as to share the worries of the mother. ”

Du Liangdi is a serious concubine of the royal family, born in the Du family, she said it straightforwardly, Wen Jing is not easy to refuse her.

"It's okay, you're the most caring. I believe in Du's slave maid, Zhuyue, you follow Du Liangdi and see where the arrangement is. ”

It's not to buy such an important position, Wen Jing doesn't recommend it, Du Liangdi mentions it, and she dares to use it. If something goes wrong, Du Liangdi will also bear all the responsibility.

Out of Changchun Garden, Du Liangdi didn't smile.

It was she who was impatient, and wanted to insert her own people into the main position in the backyard, and she also took into account the princess's perception of herself, both fish and bear's paws, and finally lost two grandmothers to go in. It's just that people can still use it, just be careful.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Jing arranged everything, and before she got up, everything in the backyard began to do things in an orderly manner.

Jiang Xufeng is also in the mansion today, although it is just a banquet for women in the backyard, the scene is always different when he is supporting Wen Jing.

can borrow the post of the prince's mansion, how can anyone dare to refuse. The first to arrive were some officials, naturally this also included the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the Jiang family took Wen Qiong and came dressed up delicately and gorgeously. and Wen Xuan, she came with her mother-in-law, she hadn't seen her big sister for a long time, she was both happy and worried; After that, there were successive families with knighthoods; Then there are big families like the Song family, the Zhao family, and the Du family, all of whom are the daughters in charge of the family to receive posts.

When these people arrived, they were the old princesses in the clan. basically gave Wen Jing posts, and Wen Jing also sent invitation posts one by one, and they all led their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, a mighty family.

Then there is Princess Qing, Princess Huai, and several princesses. The last finale is the two eldest princesses, both of whom need to be greeted by Wen Jing in person, Princess Ning doesn't know what to think, she came with the eldest princess of Guangping, and when she saw Wen Jing come out to greet her, she raised her chin slightly, and the smugness in her eyes was about to overflow.

The eldest princess of Guangping still looked very enthusiastic, took Wen Jing's hand and praised it first, and after praising it, she said that Wen Jing was young intentionally or unintentionally, pointing out that there were bones in a few eggs, and it didn't hurt to do it well for the first time.

They all walked to the courtyard behind the banquet, and the eldest princess of Guangping said that Wen Jing didn't withdraw her hand a few times, but fortunately, the eldest princess Chengxu broke the siege in time.

"The two aunts are seated, I will give an order, and I will come when I go."

At the banquet, Wen Jing was not deserted, Song Liangdi and Du Liangdi were all there, and the eldest princess Cheng Xu also helped. As the host, Wen Jing can't leave for too long, and when she returns, the banquet will officially begin.

It's a tea feast, so how can you lack tea. There is a maid who specializes in boiling tea, and the movements are smooth, but for a moment, the fragrance of tea is refreshing.

Along with the tea, a variety of pastries and seasonal fruits are made, and the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant and light at the end of the feast.

The eldest princess Cheng Xu looked at the tea and said with a smile: "This is the new tribute tea this year, I have heard little, I still want to ask for some, I didn't want to drink it at the princess's place first." ”

Dayong's tribute tea is called Lushan Yunwu, the taste is mellow and sweet, the soup color is clear and bright, and it is deeply loved by the royal family.

This year's output is small, and there is not much in the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Xufeng has almost drunk it, and Wen Jing's is still the ones sent by Queen Song.

The ladies also echoed it, and the tribute tea was indeed rare, and ordinary officials and dependents couldn't drink it at all.

There are several kinds of teas one after another, although the types are all common green teas, but the quality of Wen Jing is excellent. With the delicate and mellow taste of the pastries during the banquet, the ladies were all praised, and the scene was also happy.

Princess Ning listened to the words of flattering Wen Jing in her ear, and couldn't help it for a long time, and suddenly said: "The tea in the Prince's Mansion is excellent, but I suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the Western Regions paid tribute, and there was black tea from the Western Regions. ”

"Now that I think about it, it's a strange thing, I don't know if the princess has it here? Let's borrow a light, too. ”

Wen Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the aroma of tea, and then replied slowly: "I am not as knowledgeable as the third sister-in-law, I'm afraid I will disappoint the third sister-in-law." The Western Regions are not as rich as my Chaodi, but it is just a strange picture. ”

If you want to say that the eldest princess of Guangping dislikes Princess Ning the most, it is probably that she can't control her emotions.

Princess Ning changed color almost instantly, and she remembered what occasion this was, and suppressed it again.

The day after that, Princess Ning didn't have any more moths. On the contrary, it was Jiang who took Wen Qiong to shuttle between the ladies of the families, Wen Jing had no time to care, Wen Xuan saw it a few times, and his eyebrows were twisted together.

In the middle of the afternoon, the tea banquet ended, and Wen Jing felt that his face was about to stiffen. sent everyone away politely, lying on the low couch really didn't want to move.
