Chapter 159 - Public Salutation of Tea
An Ran had originally planned to invite Wei Qing to the Princess Mansion, but since she was going to take Wei Chengfeng in as her concubine and put on a high front, she naturally had to do it without restraint!
Then, because such a thing had suddenly happened, Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian could not even be present.
She looked out the window at the heavy rain and was in a terrible mood.
”Princess, Aunt Zuo has already entered!” The maidservant reported back.
After a long period of silence, the maidservant thought that she did not hear her, so she transmitted her voice.
”Alright, this princess has heard it!”
This impatient expression caused the servant girl to flinch for a moment. She was unavoidably angered, and could only hold her breath as she silently retreated out of the room.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the hall.
A lot of guests came, and everyone praised An Ran. Wei Chengfeng felt that he had a lot of face.
When the crowd saw that An Jing had arrived at the front hall with the help of the maidservants, they all began to praise her.
A serene smile deep, ”This princess only wishes for home and happiness! As for everything else, I didn't think too much about it! ”
Wei Chengfeng looked at An Ran, and suddenly realized that she was not as detestable as before!
He had clearly caught the smile in Wei Chengfeng's eyes, and the rage in An Ran's heart became even more raging.
After the nanny called out ”A new person has arrived”, Zuo Xinci entered the hall under the escort of the nanny.
”I pay my respects to the princess!” Zuo Xinci knelt down.
When everyone saw the harmonious scene of his wife and concubine, the male guests all felt that if their family member was this reasonable, they would be as happy as gods or immortals.
The female guest then thought that Princess Tranquil must have a screw loose. Otherwise, how could she allow Zuo Xinci, this concubine, to enter the door?
Everyone had different thoughts, they calmly looked at Zuo Xinci whose face was like a peach flower, gritted their teeth and did not reply for a long time.
Wei Chengfeng looked at An Ran worriedly: ”Princess?”
She smiled peacefully, ”Aren't you going to serve me tea?”
This was what Wei Qing had instructed her when she had left the palace yesterday.
If you want to take the initiative, you must make Zuo Xinci toast this cup of tea in front of everyone.
Zuo Xinci was startled, but, the Northern Kingdom indeed had a rule, if anyone wanted to enter, they had to give their main wife a cup of tea.
However, no matter what, she was still the dignified daughter of the Minister. Worshipping her tea in public was simply embarrassing to her.
An Xin frowned, ”Is Aunt Zuo not willing?” This princess has already grown up and has already allowed you to enter through the doors. You aren't even willing to drink this cup of tea? ”
Hearing this, Zuo Xinci's face alternated between red and white.
The rest of the people started to discuss as well. These people all liked to watch gossip, so naturally, they did not mind the trouble.
Those words were getting worse, and since Wei Chengfeng could not protect Zuo Xinci in public, he could only give her a look.
Zuo Xinci took deep breaths again and again, and finally managed to obstruct her from becoming a Princess Tranquil, as she received the hot tea on the serving tray.
”I shall offer Princess Tranquil some tea!”
An Ran nodded with a smile, ”Don't have any psychological burdens in the future, you have to take good care of Prince Consort …”
She said a lot.
The warmth of the tea traveled through the walls of the teacup to his fingertips, which was a kind of torture for Zuo Xinci.
However, An Ran was warning her about some of the Princess Mansion's rules. Other than listening patiently, she had no other choice.
