The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 440: Flower Appreciation Banquet at Yong'an Marquis' Mansion

Princess Le'an listened to her and agreed readily.

"Okay, you have to entertain us well then."

Shen Jiarou waved her pearl fan and smiled: "Definitely."

The two of them went out of the house together to Prince Su's house to find Princess Kangmei. The housekeeper enthusiastically led them to the backyard and sent someone to report.

Princess Kangmei's maid Yangqin came quickly.

"I greet Princess Yongkang and Princess Le'an. My princess invites you."

The two walked over hand in hand and saw the girl making tea at the tea table. They smiled at each other.

"Sister Qingqing."

Princess Le'an called her by her given name: "Sister Qingqing."

"Please take a seat. My tea will be ready soon."

The two of them quietly admired her skillful method of brewing tea.

"Sister Qingqing, do you know the legendary tea art?"

Princess Kangmei looked at her with a bright and flamboyant smile: "I wonder what kind of tea art are you talking about, sister Yiyi?"

"How can I describe it? It's like a kind of acrobatics. I'm not talking about you, I'm just saying that there is something like that. It looks pretty good."

Princess Kangmei smiled, a bright and flamboyant smile, so different from others.

"Look, here we go."

The teacup with a lid on it kept spinning in her hand... Shen Jiarou, Princess Le'an, Ruan Qingling, Nami and the others were all stunned.

"Awesome." Shen Jiarou couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Nami couldn't help but applaud to express her love.

Princess Kangmei put away the cup perfectly and stopped: "Excuse me for showing off."

"that's humble."

On the day of the flower-viewing banquet at the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, many families came, most of them came to see Princess Yongkang.

The old lady looked at the grand scene of guests and friends in front of her, as if she had returned to the glorious days of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and her eyes became slightly moist.

Nanny Sun understood her look and held her tightly with heartache.

"Madam, today is a good day, please take care of yourself."

The old lady looked at Nanny Sun, who had been with her as a dowry for decades, with a sighing look.

"I see."

Shen Jiarou deliberately wore a tangerine yellow dress that was neither high-profile nor low-profile. She had a simple bun on her head with a yellow hair comb and flower in the middle of her hair. She wore a golden phoenix hairpin and a pair of simple round bead tassel long earrings on her earlobes, which made her round face look longer.

"Princess Yongkang has arrived, Princess Kangmei has arrived, Princess Le'an has arrived, Princess Muxue has arrived, and Lord Xie has arrived."

When the men and women who came to the banquet heard the announcement, they all knelt down and bowed.

"Greetings to Princess Yongkang, Princess Kangmei, Princess Le'an, and Princess Muxue." People with imperial edicts do not need to see Xie Lianxiang.

"Meet Princess Yongkang, Princess Kangmei, Princess Le'an, Princess Muxue, and Lord Xie Xiang."

Shen Jiarou had the highest grade, and she raised her hand slightly.

"No need to be polite, just enjoy the flowers."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an brought Jiang Shuxin over for a private meeting.

"I have met the princess."

"Your humble servant greets the princess."

Shen Jiarou stepped forward and helped the two of them up: "Mother, Sister Xin, please don't be polite."

"Thank you princess."

"Thank you, Princess Sister."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and looked at the people around her.

"Let me introduce you to mother and sister Xin. This is Princess Kangmei, from Prince Su's residence. This is Princess Le'an, from Prince An's residence. You both know Princess Muxue and Lord Xie."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an and Jiang Shuxin bowed respectfully.

"I greet Princess Kangmei, Princess Le'an, Princess Muxue, and Lord Xie Xiang."

"Your humble servant greets Princess Kangmei, Princess Le'an, Princess Muxue, and Lord Xie Xiang."

Seeing that they were chatting happily, everyone changed their minds. As soon as Shen Jiarou and others left, they came forward to chat with the wife of Marquis Yong'an and Jiang Shuxin.

The old lady was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. When she saw a few people coming, she was about to get up, but Shen Jiarou quickly stopped her.

"Grandma doesn't have to get up."

"The princess and the other princesses and nobles are here."

The three princesses and Xie Xiangjun greeted in unison: "Hello, old lady."

"Hey, hello everyone, please take a seat."

"Grandma seems to have slept well these past two days, and her complexion looks much rosier."

The old lady and Nanny Sun smiled at each other.

"Really? That's good. I'm just worried that your complexion might affect the flower viewing party."

Shen Jiarou took her arm affectionately and said, "Grandma, you are joking. I see that you are in high spirits."

The old lady was amused and laughed happily.

"Greetings to the grandmother, greetings to the princess, greetings to several princesses and Lady Xie Xiangjun." Jiang Shujia and Jiang Shuya walked over together to pay their respects.

The old lady looked at Shen Jiarou, and Shen Jiarou smiled gently and raised her hand.

"Sisters, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Princess Sister."

"Let's all sit down and talk."

Two quarters of an hour after the banquet started, the maids brought up three kinds of drinks: small hanging pear soup, cooked water (the Song people's milk tea), and thirsty water (the Song people's concentrated fruit juice).

Less than a cup of tea later, the maids came to the courtyard with osmanthus cakes, Gaotang Luohan cakes, osmanthus and Euryale cakes, Chongyang cakes, etc., and waited for the maids guarding the table to put them down.

Shen Jiarou saw the movement here and stood up: "Let's go over and taste the cakes and drinks."

Several people stood up and went to the table.

Xie Lianxiang picked up a cup of pear soup: "Princess Junior Sister, try this."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Princess Kangmei picked up the thirsty water, and Princess Le'an picked up the cooked water to taste.

"What is this? It tastes pretty good."

Zhen Luosang explained: "To Princess Le'an, this is basil cooked water. The basil spice is dried and put into boiling water. The water becomes cooked water after it is soaked to release the flavor, so it is also called basil cooked water."

Princess Le'an smiled and said, "This is rare. Hey, Princess, is there any other cooked water?"

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Indeed, there are some, such as cardamom water, fragrant flower water, bamboo leaf water, etc. You can make whatever water you like. For example, many writers who are both great writers and foodies like Ophiopogon japonicus water."

After listening to her explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.

Zhang Xianshu held the drink in her hand and asked in confusion: "Miss Zhen, what kind of drink is this?"

"Miss Zhang, what you have in your hand is thirst water, which is a concentrated fruit juice. The fruit juice is squeezed and filtered, then boiled over low heat to evaporate the excess water until the juice becomes a thick paste. Then it is cooled and poured into a container and sealed for storage. When drinking, just like soup, take an appropriate amount and mix it with boiling water and you can drink it."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

"I never thought that the drinks in this small Yong'an Marquis Mansion would have so many styles."

"You forgot that the princess often stayed at Yong'an Marquis's Mansion."

"That's true. The princess loves to study food and drinks."

Bai Yunsu walked to the table, picked up a cup of pear soup and tasted it, and found it quite delicious.

Seeing the food on the table, she started eating seriously.

Seeing her eating happily alone, Shen Jiarou walked over with a smile.

"Sister Bai, how does it taste?"

Bai Yunsu immediately put down her cup and bowed: "Your servant greets the princess. May the princess be at peace."

Seeing that she was still so well-educated and well-mannered, Shen Jiarou smiled gently and brightly.

"Sister Bai, please don't be polite."

Bai Yunsu glanced at the cakes and drinks and smiled, "The drinks are delicious, and the cakes are tasty. It can be seen that the mansion put a lot of effort into this banquet."
