Chapter 390: Harassing the Trashy Relatives (3)_1
By now, he must have returned to the Empress’s side, assuming the responsibilities he should. However, she wondered if he was doing well and if he still remembered her...
"Younger sister, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and drink, it won’t taste good when it’s cold. The tea we are having now is unlike any we’ve had before, it’s flower tea!"
Du Wanqiu urged, lifting the lid of her cup and inhaling deeply, her face full of joy.
Cai Wei shook herself out of her thoughts, forcing a smile as she gently removed the lid of her teacup, preparing to drink, but she was suddenly taken aback by the sight of the familiar flower tea inside!
The flower tea was subtly aromatic. Each flower was a rare variety in this world. It was the same tea she had originally picked for her mother and Fei’er’s beauty regimen, which had later been sold by her mother to him for one hundred taels of silver.
But, how did it end up in the hands of Du Wanqiu?
Startled, Cai Wei asked, "Sister, where did you get this tea?"
Upon hearing Cai Wei’s question, Du Wanqiu replied with a complicated expression, "It was presented by the Empress Dowager to Cousin Rui Zhu. Cousin Rui Zhu is the legitimate daughter of the Great Aunt and the Great General. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager intend to marry her off to His Highness King Qin as his main consort. That’s why they favor her so much and gifted her this exquisite flower tea."
"Ah, so that’s how it is!"
Cai Wei’s heart sank. So, his main consort was already chosen, and she is the daughter of the Great General. Haha, the Great General, it does sound impressive. Undoubtedly, the daughter of the Great General could provide significant assistance in his rise to the throne!
