The wife of the Duke held a tea party in the suburbs of Beijing and invited Jiang Nansheng, the most famous tea merchant in Beijing. The Jiang family sent fresh tea to the Duke's Mansion the day before, and specially brought twenty servants who were good at tea art to the tea party in the suburbs of Beijing.

Although it was called a tea party, the Duke and his wife were both martial artists, so it was definitely not just for tea tasting. The land in the suburbs of Beijing is open and very suitable for horse riding and hunting.

The wife of the Duke set up a place in the suburbs of Beijing, with tea drinking on both sides, set up with white curtains and bamboo curtains, and a wide space in the middle for horse riding and archery.

The women of Ning'an have always admired music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and few women know how to ride horses and shoot arrows. It was only in the years after General Ningyuan won the battle that the practice gradually became popular. Therefore, a new horse for women was added to the tea party, which was slightly shorter than the horses for men.

The Duke's wife was also happy and prepared a string of jade beads given by the royal family as a reward, which could be won by the first person.

Jiang Shi was reluctant to let Jiang Yuanyi go, but the Duke's wife personally sent someone to bring the invitation, which specifically mentioned bringing two young ladies. Jiang Shi had no choice but to bring Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Xirong.

Both girls wore narrow-sleeved riding suits, and Jiang Xirong wore a light pink riding suit, which made her look soft and delicate. Jiang Yuanyi was wearing a crimson riding suit, which was gorgeous and eye-catching, and made her already bright and beautiful features even more radiant.

For the first time, Jiang Shi was a little disgusted: "Why are you wearing such bright colors?"

Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Xirong smiled at each other and hurriedly pushed Jiang Shi out.

The servants of the Jiang family arrived first. When Jiang Yuanyi and the others arrived, they had already brewed hot tea. They were all wearing new clothes specially made for them by the Duke's wife, and they were dignified and decent, and very presentable.

When the servants saw their master coming, several of them surrounded them and took them to the west to sit down. He glanced at the opposite side and whispered, "Opposite is where the royal family sits."

Jiang Xirong said excitedly, "Will the royal family come today too?"

The servant said, "Yes, I just heard from the maids in the Duke's Mansion. They said that Princess Mingyue will definitely come back, but I'm not sure about the other princes."

Jiang Xirong turned to look at Jiang Yuanyi, "Yier, you are Princess Mingyue's master."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and said, "Master is just a nice title. Princess Mingyue is playful by nature, and she liked me, so she asked for a playmate."

That was also the playmate of the most favored princess of the dynasty...

Jiang Xirong asked curiously, "Is Princess Mingyue easy to get along with?"

That mischievous face came out, Jiang Yuanyi smiled, nodded, and said, "Yeah, very cute."

Gradually, more people came. The tea party hosted by the Duke's wife must have invited many people, and it was very lively. Jiang Yuanyi sat with a bamboo curtain in front, so the shadows inside were not clear. She and her sister took off the veil and drank tea leisurely.

A large group of people walked in from outside and lined up in a neat row. The first few people were all tall and dressed in heroic riding costumes.

Xiao Tuo was walking beside Lin Zhengyu, who was slightly taller than Lin Zhengyu, wearing a black dress and a black jade crown, and seemed to be smiling.

Seeing his smiling face, Jiang Yuanyi felt a little better. She remembered what Xiao Tuo had written on the note last time, so she sat down and made him a pot of tea. She handed it to the maid beside her and said softly, "Please take it to the Duke of England for me."

The maid was from the Jiang family. She glanced at Jiang Yuanyi and took it with a smile.

Xiao Tuo sat down with his legs crossed, and was about to pour a sip of water to drink, when he heard a maid whispering, "Lord Duke, Madam Duke, this is the tea my daughter made for you."

Xiao Tuo never worried about these things, so he naturally didn't know that Madam Duke had invited the maids from the Jiang family to help make tea, so he asked, "Whose family are you from?"

The maid hurriedly said, "Jiang family."

Xiao Tuo stood up when he heard it, and heard his father scolding, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The maid walked past Xiao Tuo, brought the tea to Madam Duke's table, put it down on her knees, and divided the tea, saying softly, "Please."

Lord Duke glanced at his wife, picked up the teacup, smelled it, and then took a sip.

The tea fragrance was elegant, and the strength was just right.

He nodded secretly.

Pointing at Xiao Tuo, she said, "Give it to him to have a taste."

Xiao Tuo ran over and said, "No, no." He

took away the tray and the maid couldn't help laughing.

The Duke's wife couldn't bear to look at him and grabbed his clothes, "Two cups for your elder brother and sister-in-law. And your sister and Zhengyu."

Xiao Tuo put it down reluctantly. The maid poured out a few more cups. The Duke's wife looked at her disappointing son and said angrily, "Take it away quickly."

Xiao Tuo took it away with a smile and poured himself a cup. Thinking of the rules when Jiang Yuanyi demonstrated that day, he smelled it first and then drank it.

In fact, he couldn't taste any extra Taoism. He just felt that this was specially brewed by Jiang Yuanyi for him, so he drank one cup after another.

Jiang Yuanyi has good eyesight and it was funny to see it from the other end. Jiang Xirong couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuanyi and said, "Mr. Xiao really treasures the tea that his sister made."

Jiang Yuanyi blushed a little, lowered her eyes and drank a sip of tea.

This tea party was much more relaxed than the birthday banquet of Princess Hui. Many women were not wearing veils and were trying out horses in the stable. There were many horses prepared in the stables on the side, each with beautiful fur and majestic bearing.

Jiang Yuanyi was also a little itchy and wanted to go down and try it.

A figure with outstanding temperament walked in slowly, wearing a raven-colored riding suit and black boots. There were only a few servants following behind him, and there was no trace of Liu Ruyan.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled. As expected, Liu Ruyan was not brought with him.

The female family members were all wearing simple and neat riding suits today. He Huilan walked in with several young ladies from aristocratic families in a white riding suit, still looking elegant and dignified.

Jiang Yuanyi remembered that day by the Nanwu River, when Liu Ruyan first talked to He Huilan before coming over. He Huilan has always liked to kill people with borrowed knives. Liu Ruyan was furious and it was probably difficult for her to break away from her.

A figure as light as a bird ran in happily, wearing a bright yellow dress, with a neat and tidy bun, revealing a smart and childish appearance. As soon as Mingyue came in, she ran to the stable and called to the servants: "Help me pull out a horse! The best one!" The princess was used to it, and everyone let her do

what she wanted . Several ladies from noble families were also standing by the stables. When they saw the princess coming, they wanted to chat with her and ask if they could ride with her.

Although Mingyue was willful, she was not rude. Even though she was reluctant to go with them, she did not say anything on the surface. She just pouted her lips and said in a coquettish voice: "Okay."

Mingyue did not have many opportunities to go out and play. She only knew a little about riding a horse. She dared to ride slowly and had to be led by someone.

He Huilan had been to the palace several times and met the princess twice. She felt that she had a better relationship with her than others. She was about to open the bamboo curtain and go down when she saw Princess Mingyue sitting on the horse with a smile on her face.

She shouted to a slender and graceful woman: "Sister Yuanyi, come out and play with me!" The Duke's family must have known the news of her engagement with Chu Huan, so they arranged them together on purpose. She lifted the white gauze curtain on the side, and saw Chu Huan standing tall outside the bamboo curtain, looking at Jiang Yuanyi opposite.

She had been here for nearly a quarter of an hour, but she had not glanced at her.

He Huilan stopped and put down the bamboo curtain, jealousy surging in her eyes.

She reached out, touched the hairpin on her head, and then took it off.

Behind this is the place where water is boiled, and each maid will add tea to the designated place. He Huilan's eyes dimmed, and suddenly she smiled.

Princess Mingyue's voice attracted everyone's attention, and a pair of slender hands lifted the bamboo curtain, and a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone. Dressed in a crimson riding dress, bright and dazzling.

Jiang Yuanyi rarely wears such bright clothes. The eye-catching red color makes her gorgeous and charming, but there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that makes people unable to take their eyes off her.

Xiao Tuo turned his head to look at his mother and smiled: "Not bad."

Xiao Ting saw Xiao Tuo's eyebrows dancing with joy and his tail flying up to the sky, and couldn't help laughing.

Her parents never had any prejudice against family background, and they also had some good feelings for Miss Jiang. When they heard Xiao Tuo mention that Miss Jiang had been practicing horse riding and archery, they thought she wanted to show off her style.

On the opposite side, the girl in the crimson riding costume jumped down neatly, took the reins handed over by the servant, and climbed onto the horse. She has an upright posture and a slender waist. She wears a simple high bun with a single tail and a white veil, revealing stunning eyebrows.

Mingyue looked at her skillful and natural posture and couldn't help shouting: "Sister Yuanyi, when did you learn it? It feels so amazing."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled, gently pinched the horse's belly, and walked to Mingyue's side: "Don't be afraid, the horse is very docile."

Seeing her so calm and leisurely, Mingyue also held her breath, pouted, and said to the servant holding the reins in front: "You step down, I will do it myself."

The servant hurriedly said: "Yes." Then he bent his waist and stepped out.

Jiang Yuanyi took Mingyue to the side to ride a horse. After practicing for a while, the little princess lost interest, got off the horse, and pulled Jiang Yuanyi to her side.

The place prepared for the princess was much more spacious and elegant. Mingyue pulled Jiang Yuanyi to sit in her seat. Jiang Yuanyi waved her hands and said, "Princess, this is against the rules."

Mingyue said coquettishly, "There is no one else here. I am the boss. Don't worry about what others say. I will take responsibility if something goes wrong."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled helplessly and sat down at the seat next to her. She looked up and smiled at Mingyue, "Go ahead, pull me over to do it . What?"

Mingyue sat cross-leggedly at her seat and acted coquettishly towards Jiang Yuanyi: "The day before yesterday, my father mentioned by chance that he wanted to see if my tea art had improved. I..." She moved closer to Jiang Yuanyi, "You taught me that day, but I didn't listen carefully. Please teach me a few more times."

The princess was still in her teens, with soft baby fat on her fair face. She looked so cute when she raised her black eyes and acted coquettishly towards others. Jiang Yuanyi rubbed her head: "I am your tea art master. It is my duty to teach you as many times as I want."

The princess chuckled and watched Jiang Yuanyi's demonstration obediently.

Jiang Yuanyi deliberately slowed down her movements and demonstrated several times.

She slowly separated the tea from the fairness cup, and the fragrance of tea filled the air. Mingyue looked at it with bright eyes, picked up a cup and smelled it. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sound of a gong outside.

Clear and bright.

Jiang Yuanyi put down the fairness cup, walked to the bamboo curtain, opened it a little, and saw Xiao Tuo standing on the horse, with an upright posture and flying eyebrows.

The person sitting on the horse next to him was Chu Huan.

The author has something to say: The more I write, the more I feel that He Huilan and Chu Huan are a perfect match. Hahaha
