Donggong Zhangjiao

The next day.

As soon as Fang Yun returned to Luyun Pavilion, he learned from Yan Wei that Empress Li sent someone to pass the message, asking her to drink tea.

Hearing this, Fang Yun asked, "Who else is there besides me?"

Of course, it is impossible to invite her alone. What kind of onion is she? Her status is not high enough.

"The female relatives brought by the princes, as well as Concubine Yang and He Liangdi, have all been called." Yan Wei said.

After hearing this, Fang Yun smiled, "What kind of fun is this?"

But the complaints are the ones, so I changed my clothes and went out after counting the time.

It's a long way from here to Empress Li's residence.

Thinking of walking together and taking care of each other, Fang Jun and Concubine Yang went together. He Liangdi had always been at odds with them, so naturally she didn't go with them.

When they arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, where Empress Li lived, there were already people in the palace.

We met each other at the dinner yesterday, and now we all know each other.

Among the eldest prince's female relatives, Fang Pei, the side concubine, took the lead and led two concubines, and the second prince brought two concubines, so there is no need to introduce them here.

After entering the hall, everyone greeted each other, and after waiting for a while, the queen came over unhurriedly.

Standing behind her was the third princess, but there was no figure of the fourth princess.

But it's not surprising that the fourth princess was not born to the queen.

At this moment, Fang Yun also got up and saluted with everyone.

Empress Li sat down on the main seat, then waved her hands and said in a low voice.

"Excuse me. You've worked hard all the way here. Let's all have a taste of this tea. The emperor just rewarded me with this tea. I thought it was good, so I asked you all to come and taste it."

She had a slight smile on her face and a gentle tone, like an ordinary elder.

But few of the people sitting below felt relaxed, especially the prince's female relatives, even He Liangdi, who had always been upright, looked a little wary.

However, the eldest prince's concubines and Empress Li have a serious family, so at this moment Fang Pei is acting as a daughter-in-law, taking the lead in picking up Empress Li's words.

"My mother and concubine think this tea is good, so it is naturally the best thing. What's more, it is a gift from my father, and this tea is full of my father's affection for my mother!"

"Your child can talk." Empress Li smiled, and turned her gaze to Concubine Yang, "I remember that you are from Huizhou, and this tea is from Beijing. I don't know if you drink it well." Still likes?"

When it was brought up, Concubine Yang also dealt with it calmly.

"Good tea knows no boundaries, and the tea from Aunt Huang's place is the best if I taste it."

"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be used to drinking."

Empress Li looked kindly, and turned to look at Fang Yun again.

"How does Fang Liangdi think about this tea? I heard that you are very good at embroidery, so I think you are a careful person. I would like to hear your appreciation of this tea."

After she finished speaking, Fang Pei's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly said.

"The queen mother doesn't know. Although the second younger sister is a good female celebrity, she hasn't learned much about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea art and flower arrangement. The queen mother is afraid that she will embarrass her by doing this."

Growing up in a courtyard, how could Fang Pei not know how Fang Hao lived.

She hardly had the opportunity to learn what these noble girls should learn, so she was not left out of reading and writing.

It's a pity that the teacher who was invited to teach was teaching based on Fang Pei's learning progress. He always answered questions for Fang Pei alone, and never paid attention to the two concubines, Fang Jun and Fang Jin.

Therefore, Fang Pei's wages are taken for granted, and Fang Pei is an idiot who knows nothing.

What he said at this moment seemed to be an excuse for Fang Yun, but it was actually full of sarcasm.

When Queen Li heard what she said, she felt a little embarrassing, so she said.

"For three days after Shibie, you should treat each other with admiration. Your sister has been in the East Palace for a long time, and she often serves by the prince's side. There is always time to taste tea and enjoy the flowers, so it will naturally benefit."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fang Yun in a gesture of comfort and encouragement.

"Don't be afraid, just say it."

He made it clear that he wanted to see a joke, but he still acted like a good person, which really made Fang Yun sick.

But at this moment, Fang Yun is also fortunate. Since she entered the East Palace, she has been re-learning these things seriously when she has the conditions to learn these things again, and occasionally gets Pei Yao to point them out a few times. Although she is not very good now, she must have already started. Yes, it's okay to close the tea tasting.

It's just that he put on a embarrassed face, bowed his body, and said to Queen Li.

"The concubine is not talented, I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, the empress and all the sisters will make fun of me."

"It's okay, you can just say it, we are all a family, how can we laugh at you?"

Queen Li waved her hand, not intending to let it go.

After all, humiliating Fang Yun is also humiliating the prince, and she is happy to do it.

Seeing what she said, Fang Yun nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

At this time, Fang Pei, who was sitting opposite, laughed sarcastically.

"Sister, why do you only drink so little? Drink two more sips, so as not to make a mistake."

But Fang Jun turned a deaf ear to her provocation, and only savored the mystery in the tea carefully.

But seeing that Fang Yun didn't speak, Fang Pei became more energetic and said again.

"Don't embarrass yourself if you can't drink it. The empress has also said it. If you can't tell one, two, three, none of us will laugh at you!"

Seeing Fang Pei being so rude at this moment, the hot-tempered He Liangdi couldn't sit still, and gave her a rude look.

"What's the rush, concubine? The empress hasn't said anything yet. You're here to catch up. The tea that the empress is offering is so good, so hurry up and drink a few more, don't let it get cold!"

To say that although He Liangdi didn't like Fang Yun, she wasn't stupid enough, knowing that Fang Yun had lost face at this moment, and it was also an embarrassment for the prince, so they temporarily united front.

It can barely be regarded as Aiwujiwu.

Concubine Yang, on the other hand, sat still and didn't know what she was thinking.

Being teased by He Liangdi made Fang Pei unhappy, but before she opened her mouth to return it, Fang Pei opened her mouth first.

"Empress, I see that this tea is round and green in shape, the cord is tight and straight, the front sprouts are straight and pekoe, and the tea soup is green and clear, with elegant aroma, mellow taste and sweet aftertaste. It should be a famous tea in Beijing, Yuqiu Tea, I don’t know if I can taste it, right?”

As her calm and calm voice fell, the arrogance on Fang Pei's face, who was sitting opposite, receded inch by inch, and turned into surprise and disbelief.

Fang Yun took Fang Pei's expression into his eyes, knew in his heart that he was right, and he was slightly relieved.

Sure enough, after listening to these words, Empress Li at the top, her eyes flickered, and she said with a smile.

"Yes, this tea is Yuqiu tea. It seems that you were humble before."

"The concubine dare not lie to the concubine. The concubine is indeed as the elder sister said. She is not good at these things. It is just that after entering the East Palace, His Highness enjoys tea. Occasionally, she gives some advice to the concubine, so she learns a little bit, which makes the concubine laugh. "

Fang Yun didn't intend to go crazy after winning this small hand.

In front of Empress Li, it is better to be careful and follow the rules, so as not to be caught in the wrong place, the loss outweighs the gain.

But this time she couldn't stop her, Empress Li felt a little bored, the third princess next to her saw her mother's expression in her eyes, so she opened her mouth right now.

"Empress Mother, I know that Fang Liangdi is modest. Since we are tasting tea today, in my opinion, why don't we have a competition for fun, how about guessing the name by tasting tea?"
