Chapter 1290 - 403: Instant Fame and Taking Advantage_4
Emperor Huian’s every move was a clear signal of his esteem for this legitimate imperial grandson. The ministers who attended the full moon banquet became even more cautious about the legitimate imperial grandson in their hearts.
Some shrewd ministers who were adept at currying favor were already pondering whether they had grandchildren of a suitable age to perhaps one day secure a role as a study companion, accompanying the future Crown Prince and even the future Emperor as he grows up, in order for their families to bask in the glory and prosper for decades to come.
Emperor Huian, swamped with state affairs, had managed to find some time out of his busy schedule to visit the Prince’s Mansion, but after staying for just half an hour, he left for the palace.
With the Emperor gone, the other ministers completely relaxed. As soon as the fine food and special wine were served, the ministers, who were originally going to toast to Chu Heng to congratulate him on the birth of a precious son, were stunned, simply because the color and aroma of the wine were so uniquely different from any they had ever tasted that they forgot what they were supposed to do next.
Chu Heng had anticipated this situation, and not only did he not take offence, but he also smoothly brought up the Mo Family’s winery, graciously giving the Mo Family’s winery some free advertising.
How could the wine praised by the Crown Prince be ordinary! This was the unanimous thought among all the ministers who came to offer congratulations, and some of them, while others were busy congratulating Chu Heng, were already sneakily drinking it, finding themselves unable to stop once they started.
The situation was similar on the ladies’ side. The Princess Consort Liang was already grateful to Mo Yan and genuinely liked these delicious fruit wines, so she was more than happy to lend Mo Yan a hand, subtly singing the praises of this wine during the banquet.
After trying it themselves, most of the noble ladies and young misses, originally skeptical, found they enjoyed the fruit wines, whether they were vivid and enchanting or fresh and elegant.
