Shen Tianshu had long been wary of the Yuan family. After all, in her previous life, she had sat next to the Queen Mother and watched the ladies from aristocratic families play with this kind of trick.
And they are much better at playing than the Yuan family.
When Shen Tianshu swept Yuan's sleeve over the tea cup, he quickly turned around and met her back to back with a lady he knew who was standing diagonally behind him.
"I've met Mrs. Liu."
It didn't matter what she did. Yuanshi turned around subconsciously and failed to notice where the tea cup fell.
"Clang-"
The tea cup fell to the ground, and half of the remaining tea fell onto Yuanshi's floor-length skirt without any waste.
"Ah——" Yuanshi screamed, "My skirt."
"Oops!" Shen Tianshu also exclaimed, "Mrs. Huang, be careful not to move around, or you may step on broken porcelain and hurt your foot."
A little maid immediately came forward to clean it up, but Yuan's skirt was already wet.
Mrs. Yuan almost wanted to vomit a mouthful of old blood. She had specially hired a dozen embroiderers to come to her home to make this for this banquet.
I had just arrived not long ago, and before I saw the dowager and the princess, it was already like this, with a few over-soaked tea leaves hanging on it. It was simply horrible to look at.
It happened that she was still mute and couldn't tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. After all, everyone around her could see clearly that she knocked the tea cup herself and had nothing to do with Shen Tianshu.
There were people who had disliked her for a long time. They didn't dare to say anything before. Now they could finally speak openly and openly: "Mrs. Huang, please go change clothes. It's no joke to get wet and cold in this winter." .And the concubine and the princess are coming soon, so it would be really rude to dress in such a mess."
Hearing that Mrs. Yuan wanted to say something before, she didn't dare to delay after hearing the second half of the sentence, and hurriedly followed the servants of the palace out to find a place to change clothes.
As soon as she left, Miss Huang came down from the second floor with several young girls.
"Miss Shen, the girl in the red coat is Huang Tingshan, the only daughter of the Yuan family." Fang Fu whispered in Shen Tianshu's ear.
Shen Tianshu was too lazy to get involved with these people, he just wanted to find a quiet corner to stay quietly for a while.
It's a pity that there are always people who don't want her to live in peace.
Huang Tingshan came down from upstairs and immediately saw Shen Tianshu standing not far away.
The main color of her clothes today is water red, which just clashes with Shen Tianshu's color.
It would be fine if Shen Tianshu was born plain, but he is a bit too good-looking.
As Huang Tingshan walked down, she muttered to herself, whose girl is this? How come she has no memory of her?
She came downstairs and was about to ask Yuanshi, but her eyes wandered around the first floor several times, but she didn't see her mother or her personal maid.
"Miss Huang is looking for Mrs. Huang, right?" A girl wearing a goose-yellow jacket came forward and said to Huang Tingshan, "Your Majesty accidentally wet your skirt just now and went to change. You should be back soon."
Huang Tingshan was stunned when she heard this. She knew how much effort Yuan spent on that skirt. Why did it get wet not long after it came on?
"Did your skirt get wet?"
"Yes, Mrs. Huang was so focused on talking to Miss Shen just now that she didn't expect to have walked to the table. When she swept her sleeves, she accidentally dropped a tea cup. I don't know how it happened so coincidentally, half of the tea cup was spilled. It's on Mrs. Huang." The girl in the goose-yellow coat said, looking at Shen Tianshu to indicate, "But it's lucky that it didn't happen to Miss Shen, otherwise Mrs. Huang would have blamed herself even more."
Huang Tingshan was very clear about Yuan's methods. When someone said this, she knew that she was trying to get Shen Tianshu but failed, and instead suffered the consequences.
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Tianshu, who had walked to the corner and was about to take a seat, and secretly made a note for her.
Huang Tingshan then turned her gaze back to the person in front of her and sneered: "You don't have to sow discord in front of me. With your level, do you think I'm a fool?"
The girl in the goose-yellow coat paled when she heard this and said, "I kindly said that I knew Miss Huang, but who knew that my kindness was not rewarded."
From Yuan's attack on Shen Tianshu, to Shen Tianshu calmly resolving it, to Huang Tingshan coming down, everything that happened here was seen by the ladies around her.
Several close friends couldn't help exchanging glances.
Anyone with eyes can see what the Huang family is thinking.
The Yuan family was such a sweetheart, but they stayed with her until she was seventeen years old, and they didn't even talk about their marriage, just because her vision was too high.
Now, the target of choosing a son-in-law is directly targeted at Li Zian. Taking advantage of the fact that his sister-in-law is a noble concubine, he runs to Prince Rui's Mansion every two days.
In order to make Huang Tingshan the most popular at the banquet in the Prince's Mansion, Yuan used many unscrupulous tricks.
"It's just that because of the good looks of a family, when a noble concubine is born, they raise their tails to the sky without even looking at the buttocks under their tails." Someone couldn't help but whisper.
The people on the side quickly winked at her and said: "Keep your voice down, don't dare to say such nonsense."
Now in the palace, the noble concubine is favored and the queen has nothing to do. It is still unclear which cloud will rain in the future, but she does not dare to offend easily.
Huang Tingshan took a few girls behind her who looked like followers, walked through most of the room, and sat at the table closest to Shen Tianshu.
Immediately, servants from the palace came to serve tea.
Huang Tingshan opened the lid of the bowl, took a look, and said with a smile: "What did I just say? I knew that the one served today must be Anhua black tea. The concubine attaches great importance to health care and follows the seasons, so the Prince's Mansion The teas you drink are different throughout the year. In winter, Anhua black tea and Cangwu Liubao tea are often drunk.
"But this year's Cangwu vintage is not good, and the quality of the tea produced is not as good as in previous years, so Anhua dark tea will definitely be used when the royal family entertains guests."
A girl next to him immediately cheered and said: "Tingshan, you often come to the palace as a guest, so you naturally know these things best. We can't come here even once in a year and a half, but we don't understand the ways here. You have to tell us more." OK."
"This black tea is warm in nature and helps to keep out the cold. It is most suitable to drink at this time." Huang Tingshan said, "Look in the tea bowl. The tea soup is transparent and clean, and the bottom of the leaves is light and new. It looks like this year's tribute Tianjian tea, that is, The best batch of black tea this year. Take a look at it. The aroma of this black tea is rich and pure. It is not only refreshing and long-lasting, but the tea aroma is also mixed with medicinal, fruity and herbal aromas, which is particularly special. "
"Tingshan, you are so amazing, you know so much."
"That's not true. Tingshan's aunt is in the palace now. How can she drink less of this kind of tribute tea?"
"When Tingshan enters the palace from now on, she won't be able to drink as much as she wants, so there's no need to count on the aunt in the palace."
"Oh, what are you talking about!" Huang Tingshan pretended to be shy, but her eyes secretly glanced at Shen Tianshu's table, "I'm telling you about tea, but what nonsense are you talking about? If others listen to it, I’m going, I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!”
