Mingmen Family

When Shen Hui held a banquet, he dared to let his wife come out to entertain guests because Mrs. Shen was a long-sleeved dancer who was good at talking.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Mrs. Shen began to introduce the dishes. Not only did she explain the taste and recipe clearly, but she also explained the origin and legend of this dish very well.There were only four people at the table, and she was the only one talking lively.

Here, Ye Yaming brought food for Princess Yuning and Mrs. Qi, and also said a few witty words to Mrs. Shen.

The atmosphere of the banquet finally calmed down.

Princess Yuning said those words to support Ye Yaming and beat Mrs. Qi, not really wanting to tear her face apart.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi finally stopped sullenly, she pointed to a dish and said to the servant girl: "Mrs. Qi likes this, you can bring it to her."

Madam Qi was flattered and quickly stood up to thank her.

Princess Yuning motioned her to sit down, and then said to her: "I was a bit aggressive just now, and I apologize to you. But I really felt sorry for Yaming, so I said that. Mrs. Qi, don't Just blame me for meddling in your niece and daughter-in-law."

"Don't dare, dare not." Mrs. Qi said quickly.

After saying this, she felt that she had spoken forcefully, but it seemed that she was still angry.

She hastened to explain: "I know His Highness really likes Yaming. Yaming is under your care, it's a blessing for us to watch the game. As an aunt, I can only be happy, and I dare not think otherwise."

"That's fine. Alright, let's eat. Mrs. Shen's noodles are delicious and delicate, we have to try them out." Princess Yuning said.

Although everyone tried to persuade them to stay, Princess Yuning and her party returned to the capital the next day.

After returning to the capital, Princess Yuning went to the palace and gave the Tieguanyin that Ye Yaming specially asked her to bring to the emperor to Emperor Chu Chang.

"Yuning, you still think about the emperor." Chu Chang sighed with a smile, "People say that the emperor has everything. Poor me, I can't drink a sip of tea if I want to. Who will believe this?"

Ye family's Iron Goddess of Mercy, because it is a new product, the output is very unstable, and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not present it to him, for fear that it will not be available this year.

After all, this is not tribute tea, and the Ye family can't supply it, and they can't hold the Ye family accountable, and they themselves will have to bear the emperor's wrath.

Chu Chang also knew the concerns of these people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.He is not the kind of tyrant who only cares about his own preferences and ignores the life and death of others.After getting two catties of Tieguanyin from Princess Yuning last year, he drank it silently without telling anyone, and he didn't ask anyone to ask for it this year.

He knew that if he had this tea, the imperial sister would definitely think of him.

"That can't be helped." Princess Yuning said, "This Tieguanyin tea was made by Yaming last year. I heard from her that this tea must be made from the unique tea species in Fujian, and the tea from Lin'an It doesn’t taste like that at all.”

"Minzhou is so far away, she is pregnant again, and she has to make the Longjing tribute tea from Lin'an by herself, so she has no skills. This tea was presented last year, and you like it. What if the tea maker is not good enough this year? Didn’t it harm a group of people? Therefore, neither the Ye family nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare to bring it in front of you. It’s just me, I think about you when I have something good, and I’m not afraid of taking responsibility.”

"Yes, yes, hello little sister." Chu Chang said with a smile, "It happens that the palace got some brocade brocade. You can take it back later. You keep most of it, and give the other half to Mrs. Lu for me."

"Thank you so much, Brother Huang." Princess Yuning stood up and saluted.

After she sat down, she hesitated to speak.

Chu Chang asked strangely: "What happened to make you so hesitant?"

His younger sister, born of the empress, the prince's own sister, was favored since she was a child, and when she grew up, she married a wishful gentleman, and her own brother also successfully ascended the throne and became the emperor.

This has also cultivated her generous temperament, saying what she has, without too many scruples, and it is rare to see her hesitating like this.

"It's all right." Princess Yuning quickly said, "I just want to ask if the Ye family can become an imperial merchant. I'm not trying to be involved in politics, this is just a common conversation between my brother and sister, if you think it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say it. The main reason is that I feel uncomfortable watching Yaming going up the mountain to make tea with his stomach full, and being targeted."

As she said that, she told about the fact that the tea merchants in Lin'an City stole the tea recipes by various means, forcing the Ye family to sell the tea recipes.He also talked about the fact that Wang Kuan and others joined forces to step on the Ye family's superior position two days ago.

"Yaming dreamed about how to make tea. I told you last year. Outsiders said that she was the reincarnation of the tea god. I believe this, and Master Zhizhi also believes it. Otherwise, how can I explain why she is so young? Will you know so much that you can make tea for everything?"

"The reincarnation of the god of tea, this is the auspiciousness of the country, Tianzuo Mingde, it is the emperor brother, you have governed the world well, and the prosperous age is coming. For such a person, we have to protect her, lest cats and dogs come to bully her and annoy her God."

As she said that, she stood up and bowed to Chu Chang: "The imperial sister is presumptuous and speaks out boldly. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me, brother imperial."

Chu Chang hurriedly helped her up, and sighed: "Prince sister, you don't have to be like this. You have always been the most measured. If you didn't think that this matter is not handled properly, it is not good for the country and not good for me, and you would not have mentioned it to me. "

The reason why he treats his sister very kindly.In addition to being a sister of the same father and mother, it is also because Princess Yuning never interferes in political affairs.

And if something big happened to him, she would stand up to protect his brother, which made Chu Chang, who was so used to intrigues, that even his wife and son couldn't believe it, feel very heartwarming.

When Princess Yuning sat down, he said: "You said it's not difficult. I drank the tribute tea this year, and it tasted better than last year. I wanted to reward the Ye family. But it's just a simple reward, not Promise the title of Imperial Merchant. You must know that Imperial Merchant is a title that merchants can only give when they participate in the imperial court's big business."

"However, the imperial court signed a contract with the Ye family last year. This year, the Ye family will hand over a large amount of dark tea to the imperial court. When the dark tea is handed over, I will decree that the Ye family be designated as an imperial merchant, or one with an official title that can be hereditary." kind."

This was Chu Chang's original plan.

Not to mention the rumors of the reincarnation of the God of Tea, but only to say that Ye Yaming is Lu Guanyi's wife and the future daughter-in-law of Princess Yu'an who is about to marry Lu Zhongyong, so Chu Chang will treat the Ye family preferentially.

Chu Chang was worried about who would lead the hundreds of thousands of troops under Lu Zhongyong's command.Lu Zhongyong didn't have much ambition anyway, since Chu Chang didn't plan to replace him, he had to win people's hearts.
