Qu Qing Ju loosened her cloak and revealed a head full of hair that had been hidden. Under Mu Jin’s service, she exchanged the cloak for a silver fox skin cape. She waited for Wei Qing E to sit before sitting down herself at the table under the guidance of Qin Bai Lu. Because there were charcoal pans in the corner of the room, even the wind that blew in didn’t cause her to feel cold.
Qu Qing Ju had just been poured a cup of hot tea when she heard Wei Qing E ask, “Isn’t this a very good Long Jing?” She followed the sound and saw the other take a sip of tea.
“As expected from da sao,” Qing Bai Lu smiled and informed, “This is Xi Hu Long Jing. The Emperor bestowed down from part of the Imperial Tribute. It is too much of a waste to drink this on a daily basis but to use this tea to treat everybody, it is most fitting.”
“Rui wang fei’s tea is so good that even us common people find it delicious, “ The Marquess of Bao Rong interjected, “Chenfu[1] is taking advantage of wang fei’s good fortune, to be able to taste such deliciousness.”
Everybody knew that Bao Rong Hou Fu was close to Rui Wang Fu. Seeing the Marquess of Bao Rong’s ingratiating manner, it was sweet enough to make their teeth ache. The people who were able to come admire the plum blossoms were not of insignificant status and most were very careful when speaking. There really weren’t many who were as straightforward as the marquess.
“Bao Rong Hou furen is too complimentary.” Qin Bai Lu didn’t like the over-keen flattery of the Marquess of Bao Rong but knowing that the Marquis of Bao Rong was one of wang ye’s people, she kept a smile on her face as she gazed at the crowd, “The greatest accomplishment it will ever achieve is that everybody enjoys drinking it.”
Each year, not even ten catties of the Imperial Tribute Long Jing were produced. The fact that Rui Wang Fu could serve it to guests, it could be seen just how much the Emperor had bestowed. This was also what Qin Bai Lu wanted everybody present to know. Otherwise, any tea would do. Why did she have to specifically use the Long Jing tea from the Imperial Tribute?
Was it to let everybody feel that the one the Emperor held most important was He Yuan and turn to support He Yuan to succeed the throne? Qu Qing Ju blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, a smile appearing on her face. Nobody who sat here was stupid. If they really changed sides because of this bit of tea, they wouldn’t have made it to this place in the first place.
“San dimei is so generous,” Wei Qing E took another sip, “to be willing to let everybody have a taste of the tea that fuhuang has bestowed. Da sao here will give her thanks.”
“Da sao, don’t be so polite. We are one family, there’s no need to distinguish so much,” Stopping there, her gaze suddenly landed on the Marquess of Xiang Qing, Luo shi, “Speaking of this, the Marquess of Xiang Qing is part of ersao’s maternal family.”
Qu Qing Ju heard the topic had moved towards her and put down her teacup to look at her aunt. She had seen her aunt, Luo shi, when she had arrived, but it hadn’t been a good place to converse. Since Qin Bai Lu was pushing the focus onto her now, she would naturally accept it, “San dimei isn’t wrong. This is my jiumu. From very little, I have received much care from my jiumu. If I knew earlier that Jiumu was coming today, I’m afraid I would have come to disturb you much earlier.”
“I see that the person ersao wants to see the most isn’t dimei, but the Marquess of Xiang Qing,” Qing Bai Lu covered up a smile and said in a mocking tone, “I can’t compete with the Marquess of Xiang Qing.”
“You and I are part of one family, we will see each other often in the future. There’s nothing special. Jiumu is my relative, we won’t be as intimate as you and I,” Qu Qing Ju said in a confiding tone, “Dimei isn’t sad, you’re laughing at me.”
“I don’t dare laugh at saosao,” Qin Bai Lu hadn’t expected that Qu Qing Ju would say such words and, with a smile, she replied, “saosao is close to her aunt, nobody would laugh.”
Luo shi saw the two had finished and said warmly: “Rui wang fei must excuse us. It’s just that chenfu and Rui wangfei hasn’t seen each other for many days, wang fei is angry at chenfu as her jiumu so she is purposefully saying such things.”
Qu Qing Ju smiled and stood to beg for mercy, “Jiumu, don’t say anymore, if my cousins knew that I wronged you, they wouldn’t let me into the fu in the future.”
Luo shi smiled and half-declined to receive the bow and bowed in reply. They exchanged a few more words before calmly sitting down. She didn’t forget her own position because of Qu Qing Ju’s identity.
The people present clearly saw the intimacy between the two. People had said that aunts usually didn’t treat their nieces well but look at this family. Weren’t they so very close?
Qu Qing Ju knew that Luo shi was worried that she would be bullied by Qing Bai Lu so she had stood out. But she didn’t want to involve the Tian Family into the succession
