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.
An Ran had been carefully observing her expression. When she frowned, she finally stopped talking.
Hearing this, everyone could clearly see the impatience in Zuo Xinci's eyes, as well as her almost knotted brows.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Zuo Xinci secretly exclaimed "Not good" in her heart. With a shake of her hand, a cup of tea was poured onto An Ran's hand.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
An Ran was gasping for cold air, Wei Chengfeng held An Ran's hand worriedly and shouted: "Hurry and get some cold water and medicine!"
Seeing Wei Chengfeng holding onto an tranquil hand with a face full of worry, without a trace of himself in her eyes, Zuo Xinci felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Very quickly, the servant girl brought out a bucket of cold water. Wei Chengfeng quickly took her hand and placed it into the water basin.
This was the first time An Ran enjoyed Wei Chengfeng's care and concern.
Wei Chengfeng saw the sparkle in the depths of his eyes and breathed heavily, "Does the princess still feel pain?"
This was also the first time Wei Chengfeng realised that peace and quiet could have such a forgiving side.
In front of everyone, he couldn't show too much concern about Zuo Xinci, or else, once the news spread to the ears of the empress dowager and the others, they would definitely investigate him, or even Zuo Xinci himself.
Everyone began to praise the peace and harmony between Wei Chengfeng and Wei Chengfeng, as well as their deep love for each other.
Zuo Xinci's focus had become like a decoration.
When Wei Chengfeng had finished applying the medicine on An Ran, he had already missed the auspicious time.
That night, Zuo Xinci said something to Wei Chengfeng peacefully and intentionally making things difficult for her, which made Wei Chengfeng very unhappy.
He was present at the scene and could see clearly that Zuo Xinci had spilled the tea here on purpose.
In the past, there were many tricky concubines that took the opportunity to serve tea to the main wife and purposely put on airs. Of course, there were also those whose main wife would make things difficult for their concubine.
However, what was wounded today was peace and quiet.
Zuo Xinci clearly saw the disgust in Wei Chengfeng's eyes, and she couldn't understand why the person who was so protective of her suddenly seemed to have changed?!
Wei Chengfeng gasped: "Sleep early!"
"Wind Ride!" Zuo Xinci's face suddenly changed, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to see the princess!"
"Kindness, don't tell me I treat you well?"
These words caused Zuo Xinci's heart to feel slightly sour, and she was unable to reply.
When Wei Chengfeng appeared in the peaceful chamber, the peace had just happened, and he could not see any peace at all. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Seeing Zuo Xinci throw the phoenix coronet and robe on the ground, the space between her eyebrows had practically been twisted into a knot.
"Xin Ci, what are you doing?"
"Chengfeng, you've changed!"
Wei Chengfeng did not expect that the first day Zuo Xinci entered the room, she had caused such a ruckus in the Princess Mansion.
It was raining heavily outside and his heart was heavy.
He suddenly thought of that divination half-immortal he had met on the street earlier. The moment he said that Zuo Xinci would enter, the Princess Mansion would let out bird calls and dog leaps, and would even bring about a fatal disaster to Wei Chengfeng, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"You said I've changed, but what about you?" Wei Chengfeng glared at Zuo Xinci furiously. With a belly full of anger, he flicked his sleeves and left.
When the door was opened, a cold wind mixed with drizzles of rain rushed in. The joyous candle shook unwillingly before finally extinguishing.
Zuo Xinci never thought that Wei Chengfeng would actually treat her in such a manner.
