Qingchuan: The empress is so cute and charming that she goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 49: Concubine Guo, come with me!
Seeing the crowd of concubines, Yinzhen frowned more and more in annoyance,

Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh silently,

He stepped forward and saluted,
"The concubine pays respects to the emperor!"

The chaotic voices in the pavilion fell silent for an instant.
Yinzhen helped Zhiyu up with his own hands, "I rarely see you visiting the Royal Garden."

Zhiyu stood up and smiled at Yinzhen.
"I am very lazy, but I heard that the Imperial Garden has been particularly lively these days, so I thought I would come and have a look. I didn't expect to meet you, the Emperor."

The few in the back, Chang Zai and Zheng Zhi, heard this and were already secretly poking at their veils.
Finally, after noticing Yinzhen and Zhiyu's glance,

And he immediately bowed respectfully,

"Concubines, please see Concubine Guo!"

Zhiyu smiled slightly,
Ignoring their eager gazes, he cried out gently and naturally,
Then at Yinzhen's signal, he sat down next to him.
"Who just finished talking about making tea himself?"

Yinzhen raised his eyelids and motioned for them to continue.

A person in the crowd wearing a peach-pink cheongsam suddenly shouted in surprise,

"Concubine! Back to the emperor, I am a concubine,"

It was Wang who agreed.

Xu didn't expect that with Zhiyu here, there would be a chance for them to come forward.
He stood up with bright eyes.

At Yinzhen's signal, the palace maid and eunuch prepared tea-making tools.

Wang promised to clean his hands, and then officially started under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Get water, wash cups, add tea, soak, pour tea
A set of movements flows smoothly and looks very pleasing to the eye.
Not only Yinzhen nodded,

Zhi Yu also has admiration in his eyes,
Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty basically drinks tea in a bowl. The slaves brew it and then serve it to the master.
So I don’t pay much attention to the way of making tea.

Rarely does the skill of making tea have such exquisite skills. Wang Yaosheng can tell that he has really put in the effort.

At the end of the last process, Wang promised to personally offer a cup to Yinzhen.

"Please taste it, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Yinzhen taking it, he personally offered another one to Zhiyu beside him.
"Concubine Guo, please have tea!"

Zhiyu smiled and nodded, taking it.

Holding this small ceramic cup and sniffing it,

Suddenly, the unique aroma of West Lake Longjing came to your nostrils.

Take a sip and the aroma of tea flows down your throat and into your stomach.
"good."

Zhiyu was still savoring it carefully, but Yinzhen beside him had already opened his mouth to praise,
Zhiyu swallowed the tea in his mouth and agreed:

"I don't know how to make tea, but Wang agreed to the tea, and I found it very delicious."

Wang promised to look proud and smug:

"Thank you, Concubine Guo, for your compliments."

Zhiyu smiled gently and silently put down the cup.

No wonder Wang promised to be good-looking but still not favored. It’s too easy to get carried away.
It's just a trivial matter. After being favored, there's no telling what it will be like.
In the past, I must have been suppressed by the concubines in the harem.
No wonder I still agree to it.

Zhiyu is secretly complaining,
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, glanced at Zhiyu,

"You don't understand the tea ceremony. You focus all your energy on eating. When it comes to eating, no one in this palace can match you."

Wang promised to smile proudly and smugly, but suddenly froze.
Zhiyu didn't even look at her, and quietly glared at Yinzhen, "Your Majesty~"

This is simply a way of mocking her for eating so much (si).

She doesn't want to lose face in public!

"Concubine Guo likes to study food?"

Unexpectedly, anyone would answer these words. Zhiyu looked at him in surprise,

I saw Li Yaosheng's eyes brightening slightly and looking at Zhiyu with an attentive expression.

"Concubine also likes to study food. I wonder if I am lucky enough to get the guidance of the empress and make some snacks together."

Zhiyu didn't want to answer this, he just smiled in a formal way and said warmly:
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I say it. I like to eat it, but if I say it, it won't work."

Yinzhen played with the cup in his hand and said nothing.

When Li promised to see this, he smiled and said,
"It can be seen that the empress is a blessed person."

Zhiyu's eyebrows moved slightly, he picked up the tea cup and took another sip, but did not answer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually getting lower,

The little concubine on the side was afraid that Yinzhen would leave directly, so she suggested: "Your Majesty, all the sisters happen to be here. Why don't we give orders together? Wouldn't it suit the lively scene today?"

"Okay, let's start with 'Autumn'."

Seeing Yinzhen nodding in agreement, Su Changzai, who suggested this matter, suddenly looked happy.
"Please go first, Concubine Guo."

Zhiyu: "I don't have much pen and ink in my stomach, so I won't make people laugh. Come here, I will take a look with the emperor."

joke,

Although she has memorized countless Tang poems, Song lyrics, Yuan operas, etc.,

But if we talk about poetry,

She is not comparable to this group of "talented girls" from the Han family who have read poetry and books since childhood.
What if I am really stumped and unable to speak out?

Wouldn't it be a loss of face for her as a concubine?
Forget it!

Moreover, this is a means for this group of people to always agree to compete for favor.

She didn't bother to compete with them for a little bit of favor, so why bother getting involved.

Su Changzai had no objection to this either.

In other words, she wished she would not join the party.
This way, she won't steal the limelight. When the time comes, she will outshine everyone and win the emperor's favor!

Su Changzai thought happily and spoke first,

"Then let the concubine start first. The cold mountains turn green and the autumn water gurgls!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone picked up next to him.

"Qiupu looks like autumn, but depression makes people sad."

……

Zhiyu looked at the concubines who were showing off their energy,

Then look at the old god beside him, Yinzhen, who is acting as a referee while tasting,

There is an inexplicable idea that Yinzhen is the oiran, and these concubines are benefactors.

In the name of poetry competition, the winner can spend a spring night with Yinzhen.

Zhiyu was startled by his sudden thoughts.
Looking at Yinzhen again, his eyes could not help but reveal something was wrong.

Yinzhen noticed Zhiyu's gaze,

His eyes were still looking at the concubines who were giving orders.

The hand under the stone table gently placed on Zhiyu's hand, and shook it gently.

Zhiyu was surprised,
He quickly came back to his senses, not daring to think any more.

About half an hour later,
The battle between the concubines and the concubines finally came to an end.
Wang promised that this tea-making beauty was head and shoulders above the rest.
With the sentence "Autumn bushes surround the house like Tao's house, all around the fence gradually slanting.", ended this flower blooming order,

Yinzhen nodded appreciatively,

"Not bad, reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang promised to be overjoyed and raised his chin slightly, looking like a victorious hen.
Su Changzai, who proposed the Feihua Order next to him, grabbed his handkerchief and secretly glared at Wang Yaosheng,
It seems that he is angry at himself for making a wedding dress for others.

Yinzhen stood up,
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but move accordingly,
Qi Wang agreed and looked at Yinzhen expectantly.

"It's getting late, so all my beloved concubines will return to the palace early. I..."

As soon as Yinzhen said these words,
Zhiyu felt that the light in Wang Yaosheng's eyes was about to overflow.

The rest of the people also cast jealous glances.
"I miss the fragrant apricots and dew honey of Yanxi Palace. Concubine Guo, please come with me!"

All the concubines:?
