pampering wife

Chapter 78

Princess Yongle was sitting idle in the warm pavilion in the third courtyard. When Qingmei walked in with Nu Shi, she heard someone inside laughing like a silver bell. It sounded like Wei Xin.

The two wine boxes had already been handed over to the servants of the princess mansion, and the female secretary told Luzhu to wait outside, and led Qingmei into the Nuan Pavilion.

In the first month, the weather has gradually warmed up. The narcissus in the big urn in the middle of the warm pavilion is blooming just right. After being smoked by the warm charcoal, the whole warm pavilion is filled with a light fragrance of flowers, which is even more unique than ordinary incense.

Qingmei glanced over and saw that Junli was also sitting there, so she knelt down and saluted, "Qingmei greets the princess and the third highness."

Princess Yongle said "Excuse me", Wei Xin said with a smile: "Qingmei, you are finally here, I came here specially for the princess to drink fruit wine." Qingmei also smiled: "It was me who made the move. It's too slow, in fact, I have already prepared wine for you in the mansion, but I haven't had time to send it over."

"Then I have to thank you." Wei Xin's eyes fell on the wine box.

With her background and temperament, she was born to be loved by others. Seeing her appearance, Princess Yongle suppressed a lot of her majesty, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are so greedy, come and have a taste." Her eyes fell on the wine box On top of that, obviously there is also some expectation.

The maid next to her came over holding a gold plate, inside which were a mandarin duck-turned incense pot and a few agate cups, this mandarin duck-turned incense pot was an object used by the imperial court, with exquisite workmanship and elegant curves, Qingmei had never seen it before Pass.However, in her opinion, fruit wine has a unique taste, and it may not be suitable to use these luxurious drinking utensils, so she shook her head with a smile.

Uncover the lid of the wine box, and there are five wine jars on it, carved with patterns of pear blossom, peony, golden chrysanthemum, pomegranate, and peach blossom respectively. There are five kinds of fruit wine in them, and in the lower drawer are green plums. wine set.This set of wine jars is patterned with twelve flowers, and the other wine box contains wine jars of seven other flowers.

Qingmei picked up the clay backflow pot, slowly poured golden pear wine into it, and then took three ancient pottery cups and presented it.This backflow pot was found by Wu Boren from the extreme south and then donated to Qingmei. The workmanship is not meticulous, but the object itself is rare and unique.

Most of the utensils used by Princess Yongle are gorgeous and expensive, but there are few such interesting and unique gadgets.When the maid presented the plate in front of her, Princess Yongle picked up the jug and looked at it upside down for a while, seeing that there was not even a drop of wine spilled out of the jug, she couldn't help admiring slightly, and then handed it to the female officer next to her. hands.

After the maid inspected it, she handed it to the maid, who then poured wine into the wine glass.

Both Jun Li and Wei Xin drank fruit wine, smelling the aroma of fruit and wine mixed together, it seemed that they could already taste the sweetness of the wine in their mouths, so they couldn't wait to raise their glasses.Princess Yongle smiled slightly when she saw this, took a half sip of the wine glass on her lips, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The maid next to him leaned forward and filled the three glasses of wine one by one.Raise the glass again, drink it up, and then the third glass.

Junli nodded to show his appreciation, Princess Yongle said: "It really is good wine, no wonder Xiner misses it so much." He said to Wei Xin: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Not satisfied." Wei Xin's bright eyes were full of smiles, "I still want to try the wine next to me!"

Seeing Princess Yongle's consent, the maid next to her poured out the wine in the jug, and then imitated Qingmei's example, picked up the jujube wine and poured it into the backflow pot.But she is not as skilled as Qingmei, it is difficult to use the wine jar to pour wine into the small hole, and finally Qingmei helped.

Princess Yongle took a special look at Qingmei after tasting it, and said, "It's hard for fruit wine in Beijing to have such a taste, it seems that you have worked hard."

"Serving the princess, Qingmei dare not do her best." Qingmei smiled sweetly, and then served the kiwi fruit wine.While tasting, Princess Yongle asked some superficial questions about making fruit wine, and Qingmei answered roughly. By the way, she told some interesting things related to wine, and also included the stories in the set of ancient pottery cups. Qingmei puts her heart into it.

In the end, Princess Yongle ordered someone to give Qingmei a flower-painting brocade box.

Because Qingmei accidentally mentioned that she would open a tavern, Junli praised and encouraged her, and Wei Xin was also looking forward to it, clamoring that once the tavern opened, she would be the first to join in.Princess Yongle was moved by Wei Xin's emotions, and today she was coaxed to be happy by Qingmei again, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have such ability and ambition at such a young age. If this tavern really opens, this princess will go to hold it in person. field."

Qingmei thanked after hearing the words: "Princess loves you, Qingmei is flattered." Her attitude is respectful and polite, but her heart is full of joy.

Regardless of whether Princess Yongle's words are true or not, at least as far as Qingmei is concerned, this can be regarded as an excellent shield - even the honorable and favored princess thinks that opening a tavern is a good thing, what can Madam Gu do to stop her? ?

It is also very interesting to do things like foxes pretending to be tigers once in a while.

When Qingmei bids farewell, Junli also bids farewell on the pretext of being busy, leaving only Wei Xin to accompany Princess Yongle.In the princess mansion, Qing Mei of course did not dare to walk in front of the prince, nor did she dare to talk casually with Jun Li, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.

When she got outside the door, Junli's figure had long since disappeared, Qingmei bit her lip, and cursed him secretly in her heart.
