Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 31 Three-shift tea making
"I moved to the Hetai Temple, how could this be?" The woman frowned slightly, and Li Mang flashed in Danfeng's eyes. Leaving the harem was equivalent to being out of her control, so how could she be at ease.

"It was the will of Lord Long Live at noon. Last night, Sun Cairen in the side hall of Fangfei Hall suffered from an emergency. Her maid came to ask the servants and servants to ask the imperial doctor. On the way, she said that she saw the people of Xingchen Hall walking towards the cold palace, thinking about it. It was what the Concubine Concubine and the people in the Xingchen Hall said in the night, so the accident happened." The person who spoke was Mother Chen.

"Could it be..." The woman was startled and panicked. God knows if a crazy person will say anything nonsense.

"It shouldn't be. Today, our people reported back, saying that the waste concubine would not eat or drink after arriving in the cold palace. The wound was suffering from a high fever, and her mind was not sober. If she couldn't say anything, the maiden rest assured." The empress had already ordered the movement, so she could make it clear.

The woman calmed down, but could not be completely relieved, and muttered to herself: "For no reason, the day before yesterday, I was released from the cold palace, and the next day, I was allowed to move to Hetai Temple. This is not like the style of the master..."

Madam Chen approached the woman and said, "Mother, the long live Lord is not happy to be in the cold palace. Look at the people left by the late emperor. The sonless concubines, regardless of their rank, have all moved into the Hetai Temple, even those who were sent to the cold palace. , the Lord also granted permission to move in, the cold palace has long since been in vain. Maybe so, long live Lord changed his mind after thinking about it. "

"Well, it makes sense. Master Long Live can't rub the sand in his eyes. Anyone who makes a mistake will find it annoying in the cold palace, so I can't say for sure." The woman stroked her long hair and felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly it occurred to me that there seemed to be a low-level concubine living near the Leng Palace, so I asked, "That low-level promise, did he live in the Canglan Courtyard near the Leng Palace?"

Chen mama knew that what the empress was talking about was the Er Lengzi who dared to contradict the long live grandfather at the beginning, and Lian, who was punished by Li Meiren to kneel later, agreed, and replied, "Yes, speaking of this Lian's agreement, the palace maid's background is really not on the stage, how can you see it? What happened, yesterday when Concubine Abandoned moved to the cold palace, she happened to see it, I heard that the whole person was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and the servants around him even hid directly behind the master."

After speaking, he covered his mouth and giggled, the two masters and servants were just a joke.

"What, you said that the waste concubine moved to the cold palace and was seen by others?" Why was no one told her about this.

Mother Chen didn't dare to laugh any more, and hurriedly said: "This kind of trivial matter, the slave does not dare to disturb the empress, so she does not dare to report it."

Not everything is worthy of the Empress's knowledge. As Empress' confidant, you must first filter the information you get, and report back to Empress if it is useful.

It really wasn't a big deal for the woman to be silent. She had seen that low-level concubine twice. The first time she contradicted the Lord Long Live, and almost dragged her into the water. The second time, she was punished for kneeling. Only to get up, the banquet was also reincarnated as a starving ghost, just knowing the appearance of eating, it is true that I have never seen anything in the market.

That's right, this woman is none other than Concubine Xue Gui, who is now No.1 in the harem and the ruler of the sixth palace.

It can be recalled that Li Meiren was fined a while ago to learn the rules again, and now the defunct concubine has been moved out of the cold palace. It seems that there is more or less the shadow of this low-level concubine.

Instinctively, she also didn't believe that this low-level concubine could make waves, but to be able to reach the current high position, she relied on being cautious.
Thinking of this, she said, "Go and find out the origin and background of this lotus promise." It's better to superfluous, and she doesn't feel relieved if she doesn't find out.

Madam Chen felt that the concubine was over-hearted, but she did not dare to disobey her orders, and replied respectfully, "Yes, this servant will let someone investigate."

Having said this, Mammy Chen has already reported everything that should be reported, so please step back.

Concubine Xue Gui had a light look in her eyes. Long live Lord has not set foot in the harem for a long time. She knows that the world is not peaceful recently, and Lord is busy with government affairs, so she does not dare to disturb her, but according to her father, the situation seems to have eased recently. .

It's autumn, and it's time to have a flower viewing party.

……

Just after the third watch, Lianhua endured the pain and got up gently. Tonight, the two of them were too emotional. After tossing a few times, they almost couldn't get up.

Now we have reached the most critical step in making Qinglu tea. If we miss it, this batch of tea will be useless.

One of the cores of making clear dew tea is that the leaf buds that have been dehydrated must be wetted with dew after the third watch to ferment them.The dew after the third watch is the purest dew. It is not enough to be early. After it is wet, it is collected before the sun comes out. It is covered with black cloth and fermented for five days. Dew tea.

She gently broke free from Lord Long Live's embrace and crawled out from the end of the bed. She was going to take out her tea leaves and put them in the shower gel under the moonlight.

Just halfway through the climb, the emperor noticed that the lotus seemed to be moving, and woke up, thinking that she was having a nightmare again, sat up, his voice was a little hoarse, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, why are you awake?" Lianhua stopped moving, a little annoyed. Although she tried to keep her hands and feet as light as possible, she still woke people up.

Hearing her sober voice, the emperor was relieved, not a nightmare.

In the dimness, the emperor passed his hands under Lotus's arms, kissed her forehead, picked her up and lay down again, put her on his chest, closed his eyes again, and said in a daze: " what to do?"

Lianhua struggled and said, "Master, you are about to release the slave, the slave has to find out about Lucha."

Qinglu tea?The emperor thought vaguely that there was such a thing, and asked, "So late?"

"Well, now it's a critical time. Tonight, the moonlight is very good, and the dew is deeper. It's a good time to use wet dew to ferment. It will be almost done in a few days." Lotus replied.

"Go to sleep, just tell the servants to do whatever you want." The emperor held her in his arms and was about to call out.

Lianhua stopped him, shook her head in his arms, and said, "The secret recipe of Qinglu tea can only be known by the people of the Lian family. It is not allowed to teach others. The slaves have to come by themselves."

The emperor came to his senses completely, and recalled that at the birthday banquet of the imperial concubine, she seemed to have said the same thing.

"If you don't tell the minions the secret recipe, let them do what you say they can do, how about it?" the emperor discussed.

Lotus continued to shake her head: "No."

I can't even ask people to intervene and help, her temper is really stubborn, the emperor sighed silently, she knew she was stubborn before, and even the king of heaven dared to talk back when she became stubborn, but she is still so stubborn now, alas.

However, it seems that making this clear dew tea is really hard and not easy. In the past, she also did the tea herself, making it little by little.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little distressed: "I won't do it, I won't drink anymore, just sleep."

　Lianhua is a pure and sincere person, who can see clearly in her heart, but she is still pure and enthusiastic, and she treats people with sincerity. In the dye vat of the harem, she is simply an outlier, and the emperor may also be attracted by her.

　　In his childhood, the emperor had seen too many insidious and cunning people; when he became an adult, the ministers in the court became more complicated one by one. As long as he can use them, he can use them or destroy them; in the harem, his concubines treat him like wearing a mask, so that he can't feel half sincerity, and almost everyone around him wants something from him.

　　Therefore, in getting along with Lotus, there is no need to look at fake faces, and there are no unintelligible hints and hints in words. Lotus' simplicity and sincerity make him feel very relaxed. This is especially rare for him. A habitat in the complex environment of the court and the harem, which is why he has been coming to Canglan Courtyard.
