Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 299 A Commoner

Lin Wanrong was surprised after hearing this and said it was incredible.

"Then your Majesty truly loves the Jade Concubine, and the Queen Mother and the Queen are really kind, and can be so tolerant out of kindness."

Lin Jinyan's mind recalled that cold and aloof stunning figure. Will the royal family really remember their kindness?
After midnight, Chu Chengyi finished his tea and praised him repeatedly.

"This tea will be bitter if you brew it for a moment longer, and it will lose flavor if you brew it for a moment less. It is just right. Boss An's tea-making skills are really rare. Brother Gu, thank you for bringing me here. It is a worthwhile trip."

An Zhixian: "The young prince is ridiculous. An, a commoner, must have some good craftsmanship to support himself. If the young prince likes it, the Marquis of Night will welcome him at any time."

Chu Chengyi: "Is this skill of Boss An inherited from the family? Boss An seems to be about the same age as me. He is so familiar with tea. He must have been exposed to it since he was a child."

An Zhixian refilled tea for several people: "You can't be considered a child. An's ancestral home is Pingzhou, and his ancestors were both merchants, so he had a small fortune. My parents died of illness when I was young. My uncle who was doing tea business in Zhangzhou adopted me. Since then, I have been exposed to tea since I grew up in Zhangzhou. An was born in March of the third year of Sheng'an. I wonder what year the young prince was born?"

Chu Chengyi: "I am also born in the third year of Sheng'an, just two months later than you. Boss An's ancestors are actually from Pingzhou. My former brother brought me Pingzhou's snack, which seems to be called Lunsu, which is extremely good. eat."

An Zhixian: "Young prince, you must have remembered it wrong. Pingzhou is most famous for its plum blossom cakes. The round cakes you mentioned... seem to be a snack from Xiangzhou or somewhere."

Chu Chengyi: "Really? Maybe I misremembered it. I'll come across that round cake later. I must buy it for a few people to try."

Gu Yichen: "I'm really looking forward to getting a nice word from the young prince."

Gu Ruizhou: "I'm also waiting for a feast."

After chatting and eating, the four of them talked about the spies from Mobei some time ago, the future situation in the north, and then the defeat of the previous dynasty. They talked about the past and the present without sticking to etiquette.

They chatted until evening before the three of them dispersed. After sending Chu Chengyi and the others away, Ling Yi came to reply.

"Master, the young prince in Prince Xiang's Mansion seems to attach great importance to you. He is afraid that you may be in danger, and even specially left someone to watch outside."

An Zhixian: "This young prince is extraordinary. He tried many words on me during the conversation just now. It's normal for him to leave someone alone to check on me. Don't worry about it, just pay attention."

After Ling Yi went out, An Zhixian looked at the place where Chu Chengyi had been sitting in trance.

The next day, he went to the palace for a banquet.

The old lady and Lin Yanqing were in the same car. Bai Yiran came to Lin Mansion and took Lin Jinan and Lin Jinyan into the palace.

After getting off the carriage, the old lady looked at the palace and sighed:
"I haven't come in for many years... The last time I came here, I was with Sister Mu."

Although this palace banquet only invited high-ranking officials of the second rank and above, all the relatives, princes, princes, and earls of the emperor were present, and together with their families, there were many more people than the last palace banquet.

Outside the Yongshou Palace were all the ladies of the official family waiting to pay homage to the Queen Mother. Looking around, one could not see the female family members dressed in rich and elegant clothes.

Many female relatives came around and said compliments when they saw Bai Yiran. Although Bai Yiran felt uncomfortable all over, he still forced a smile on his face to talk to others.

Fortunately, Lin Jinyan and his party didn't wait long as Yuzhi came out to send a message and let a few people in.

After the birthday celebrations, Bai Yiran and the old lady presented birthday gifts from the two families. The Queen Mother looked satisfied when she saw them, and greeted a few people to sit down.
