After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

Concubine Zhao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew she couldn't panic at this moment, otherwise it would make the whole party worse.

So she ordered: "Send someone outside the palace to find wine and water immediately. Make sure the guests can drink as much as they want!"

At the same time, she asked the nanny to comfort the guests, explain the situation and apologize.

During this process, Qin Suling remained calm and composed. She knew that she couldn't panic at this moment, otherwise it would make Concubine Zhao even more worried.

She stood quietly by, observing the situation around her, ready to provide help to Concubine Zhao at any time.

Qin Suling gently put down the teacup in her hand, stood up slowly with a willow-like figure, nodded slightly in the direction of Concubine Zhao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Su Ling has an unwelcome request in his heart, I wonder if Your Majesty can listen to it."

When Concubine Zhao heard this, her eyes moved, as gentle as spring water, but also with a bit of doubt and expectation. She turned to Qin Suling and asked softly, "Do you have any clever ideas to raise money for the wine for the banquet?"

Qin Suling shook her head slightly, smiling with some confidence, "Su Ling doesn't want to buy the drinks directly, but there is another way."

Concubine Zhao frowned slightly, as if she was curious about Qin Suling's words. She asked, "Oh? What kind of wonderful method are you talking about?"

Qin Suling smiled and explained calmly, "Your Majesty, it is now the end of spring, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the heat is coming. Replacing alcoholic drinks with cooling drinks is not only in line with the season, but also can make the guests feel refreshed and pleasant. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

After hearing this, Concubine Zhao's eyes sparkled. She seemed to be moved by Qin Suling's words and asked, "What is the cooling drink you are referring to..."

Qin Suling smiled and said, "Su Ling knows a little about medicine. I like to make sour plum soup for myself. This soup is sweet and sour, refreshing and perfect for cooling off."

She continued, "All the materials needed are common things, and the Imperial Hospital has everything. If Your Majesty trusts me, Su Ling is willing to prepare drinks for the banquet."

When Concubine Zhao first met Qin Suling, she didn't know her very well, but she had no other choice but to give it a try.

She nodded slightly to indicate her agreement. "In that case, I will leave this matter to you. If you can handle it properly, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Time was running out, so Qin Suling immediately got busy after getting Concubine Zhao's permission.

She first sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to get ingredients such as black plums, hawthorns, tangerine peels, licorice, mulberries, and then began to carefully prepare them according to her mother's recipe.

Soon, the whole palace was filled with the faint aroma of sour plum soup.

In less than half an hour, the sour plum soup was ready.

Qin Suling ordered people to pour the sour plum soup into the jade pot, wait for it to cool naturally, and then add ice cubes.

She personally presented a bowl of sour plum soup to Concubine Zhao for her to taste.

When Concubine Zhao saw the tempting color, she took a sip and found it sweet and sour, refreshing and pleasant. She couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

"It's really delicious."

Concubine Zhao exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction and joy.

She looked at Qin Suling again, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude, "Su Ling, you are really my lucky star."

Qin Suling smiled slightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty, I am just trying my best to help you."

Then she told the maids to bring out the sour plum soup for the guests to taste.

The guests praised the dish highly, and some even curiously asked which cook cooked it.

When they learned that it was made by Qin Suling herself, everyone was even more surprised.

Qin Suling's heart moved. As she looked at the guests' love for the sour plum soup, she made a decision in her heart.

She smiled and said to everyone: "I have a shop on Weiyang Street, and I sell this kind of sour plum soup. When the shop opens, I hope everyone will come to support it."

People said they would definitely come and taste it.

Qin Suling knew that her sour plum soup had won a good reputation in the palace.

If this matter were to spread, the people in the capital would certainly be curious about the sour plum soup that the empress in the palace loved.

By then, her business will surely be booming.

This birthday banquet not only made Qin Suling happy, but also made Concubine Zhao very satisfied.

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with expectations and longings for the future.

As night falls, the capital city is brightly lit and bustling.

Thanks to Qin Suling's timely supply of sour plum soup, Concubine Zhao's birthday banquet was held as scheduled. There was laughter and joy at the banquet. Concubine Zhao was full of praise for Qin Suling. She personally gave her the jade bracelet on her wrist and also rewarded her with a box of gold, silver and jade articles, so that she returned home with a full load amid the envious eyes of everyone.

The opening of the Beijing Night Market seems to have injected new vitality into this ancient city.

Citizens went out of their homes and enjoyed this rare night time under the colorful lights.

Qin Suling's shop is about to open in this bustling night market.

Before this, the silence of the capital's nights was bound by a strict curfew, and citizens could only spend long nights at home.

But at this moment, the night market is crowded and bustling.

Qin Suyu stood at a corner of Weiyang Street, looking at the bustling crowd opposite, her heart was surging.

She failed to purchase the shop on Weiyang Street, and although she felt unwilling, she could do nothing about it.

However, she did not give up and decided to rent a small shop and open her own store.

She knows very well that reputation is the most important thing when opening a new store.

So she hired someone to make hundreds of promotional posters in advance, which indicated the store name, free tastings in the first three days of opening, and half-price discounts.

These posters were distributed in large quantities before the opening and were almost spread to every corner of the capital.

After calculating the costs for Qin Suyu, the accountant told her that she might make a loss in the first three days of opening.

But there was a determined light in Qin Suyu's eyes. She believed that it was worthwhile to incur a small loss to attract customers.

Seeing that his master was so determined, the accountant said no more and did as she instructed.

On the opening day, Qin Suyu's publicity strategy was indeed effective.

There was a crowd of people in front of the store, all attracted by the "Welcome to Try" sign.

Qin Suyu stood at the door with a smile on her face, personally handing out sample drinks to every guest who came.

Xiao Cui was enthusiastically introducing the store's activities and discounts.

At first, people were a little reserved, but gradually, they were attracted by the unique taste and went into the store to buy it.

The shop was bustling with people coming and going. Qin Suyu looked at this scene and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Her shop was rented right opposite Qin Suling's shop. Originally, she just wanted to take this opportunity to see who the owner of Qin Suling's shop was, but she didn't expect that the person who came out was Qin Suling herself.

Shopkeeper Li said respectfully to Qin Suling, "Miss, everything in the store has been prepared according to your instructions."

This scene surprised Qin Suyu. She never thought that the person competing with her would be Qin Suling.

This sudden news made her feel shocked and puzzled, but more of a sense of inexplicable tension.

She looked up at Qin Suling and saw that she was calm and graceful, as if she had expected all this.
