Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 641 Quitting Tea
Now that she has found out, it's better to take the initiative to mention it, don't wait for her to ask, otherwise she will be uneasy.

It's just how to dispel her doubts and hide the matter from the past?

The emperor stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, thought for a moment, and there it is!

He raised the teacup, looked at his little concubine, waited specially, and finally waited until someone looked back at him.

He was about to take a sip, but he seemed to think of something, sighed, and shook his head slightly.

Sure enough, Lianhua noticed the problem of the emperor drinking white water again, and seeing him sigh, she couldn't help asking: "My lord, why are you sighing?"

The emperor glanced at her, sighed softly again, and shook his head: "It's okay not to mention it."

"Oh..." Lianhua bit her lip and thought for a moment: "Is that so, well, if you don't want to mention it, then don't mention it..."

Forget it, don't mention it if you don't mention it, she believes Heitantou's words, and will supervise the sleeping and eating of the Long Live Lord in the future, and the rest will be told to her when the Long Live Lord has figured it out, and she will stop messing around.

It's not useless to toss about today, it's good to know that Long Live Lord is fine.

Changing from drinking tea to drinking plain water is a sudden quirk of the Long Live Lord. He has so many quirks, and there are not many more.

Thinking of this, Lianhua suddenly felt that she seemed to understand something, nodded deeply, and then sighed, as if she understood.

Everyone has weird hobbies, and Long Live God is no exception.

The emperor paused, and felt that her eyes were very strange. He just wanted to play hard, but he forgot her simplicity and directness. If he didn't mention it, he really followed him.

It’s really shooting myself in the foot, so that I can’t even say what I made up...

He paused, put down the teacup, and sighed slightly again, hesitant to speak, trying to attract her curious questioning again.

Lianhua blinked, and understood his meaning in an instant, and hurriedly comforted him: "Master, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I won't force you to say it, isn't it just a few quirks, it's nothing, Xiao Linzi will have to deal with it It’s not a big deal that I drool when I see corn.”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, quirk, what quirk?

Lianhua's face became hot, and she said embarrassedly: "Today, I was also worried about you today. I thought you had some kind of disease, you couldn't drink tea, and you wanted to hide it from me, so you made such a bad plan. Now I know it's not the case. For such a matter, I will ask you directly, and I will never let you see the imperial doctor again, nor will I let you take medicine indiscriminately."

The more she explained, the more embarrassed she became, and she admitted weakly: "Tantou is right, medicine is not a good thing, you only take it when you are sick, what you have is a quirk, not a disease, it is my fault, and you will be fine in the future." Not to mention letting you take medicine..."

The emperor heard the veins on his forehead twitch, and the co-author figured it out, but he was thinking about his eccentricity?
Is this a little crooked?

He is more unacceptable than being sick!

The emperor held his breath in his heart, he is a majestic son of heaven, every word and deed is a model, how could he have any eccentricities?

No, this needs to be explained more clearly.

He hesitated at first, but now there is no need to hesitate. At this moment, he is eager to let his little concubine know that he has no eccentricities.

"Nah!"

"Ah?" Lianhua was still explaining, but was suddenly interrupted, she couldn't help but look over, and even forgot what she wanted to say.

The emperor took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I've thought about it, so it's better to mention it."

Lianhua didn't react, her eyes widened strangely: "What are you talking about?"

Bliss came to her heart in an instant: "Oh, eccentricity, but..." She already knew...

The emperor's eyelids twitched, he couldn't let her think about it anymore, he interrupted: "I haven't had tea these days, I wonder if my daughter has found out?"

Lianhua scratched her head, nodded and said: "I know, isn't this just..." Is it a strange habit that Master suddenly acquired?
The emperor held back his breath, and continued one step ahead: "I don't know if my daughter has ever heard of fasting?"

Lianhua nodded again, feeling a little dazed, not sure what it had to do with Long Live Lord's eccentricities.

As soon as the conversation started, the rest became simple. The emperor began to tell the compiled words one by one: "Burning incense, bathing and fasting for three days, you can tell the gods to show your sincerity. The world knows about fasting, and the world knows about abstinence from meat, sex, and alcohol. I don’t know that apart from these, there is also a talk about quitting tea..."

It didn't exist before, but from now on, it does.

"Ah?..." Lianhua opened her mouth wide, very surprised, it was the first time she heard that she would quit tea.

The emperor took her hand, like a storyteller, set up an allusion, and began to speak eloquently.

He really had no choice but to tell her the truth, so he had no choice but to make a bad move.

The matter started a few days ago when a shadow guard was ushered in at the Hall of Stars.

Hu Miaomiao has been arresting the mastermind of the Lian family case, Guo Neng, while the He family, one of the accomplices, and the rest of the Guo family will be tried by others.

Soon the ins and outs of the Lian family's case and the old background of the Guo family were interrogated.

The moment he got the affidavit, the emperor knew why Guo Neng was going to attack his little concubine's family.

Many years ago, the Guo family was still a small group of merchants. They were busy with their business, buying and selling whatever kind of goods they wanted to make a profit from.

In the generation of Guo Neng's grandfather, Xu Shi realized that the profits of tea were huge, so he gradually became a half-born tea merchant.

Although he is a tea merchant, he has become a monk half way and has no unique secret recipe in his hands. He can only collect tea leaves from tea farmers and sell them to other places. It is unstable, and there is a risk of being replaced at any time. Even if it can support it with all its strength, it will not be able to do much.

It must be said that Guo Neng’s grandfather was a man who was very good at making money. He saw the situation of the Guo family, and he did not hesitate to invest a lot of money in building tea gardens, hiring tea farmers at high prices, and worshiping tea masters as teachers, and successfully gained a firm foothold in the tea industry. .

Later, he married the Xue family for some reason, and since then he has soared into the sky. Taking advantage of Xue Ping's power, he maliciously suppressed his peers, exploited tea farmers, forcibly seized and annexed a large number of tea gardens, and became the largest tea merchant and owner of the largest tea shop in the dynasty.

At the same time, during the period of the first emperor, with the help of Xue Ping, he was recommended to become an imperial merchant, who specially supplied tea to the palace. Since there were no problems for many years and the management was good, the Guo family's status as an imperial merchant has continued to this day.

When the emperor came to the throne, there were people who were hungry, and there were rebellious kings plotting rebellion, internal and external troubles, and he didn't notice such trivial matters at all. After making drastic changes to the harem, he handed over the power of controlling the harem to Concubine Xue.

In the previous dynasty, there was the Minister of the Ministry of Households as escort, and the harem was protected by Concubine Xue. The Guo family was prosperous and stable under the eyes of the emperor until now.

If it weren't for this incident, the Guo family might still be able to live a stable life, at least it would be their turn after the Xue family was liquidated.
