Chapter 1497 The Four Volumes 173 The Beautiful Inner Palace (4 More)
Nala lifted his chin slightly, his eyes gliding past the empress dowager.

"In this world, only the legitimate son inherits the great line, which is justified. Even the emperor can't easily change it with his own will. Concubine Shu's children are noble, but only the son-in-law can surpass the children of concubine Ling. The rest All of them are the sons of concubines and concubines. It doesn't make any difference who the emperor appoints."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at Nala's, her eyes dimmed slightly.
.
There are two main palaces of the Qing emperors in Hangzhou.One is the "outside palace", which is the palace of Shengyin Temple.Located outside the Yongjin Gate, it was built at the southern foot of the Gushan Mountain and adjacent to the West Lake in the south. It is exquisite and beautiful. Therefore, the emperor ordered the empress to lead the harem, and entrusted the empress dowager to stay here.

He himself first stayed in the "Inner Palace", which is the Taipingfang Palace.Taipingfang is located in Yongjinmen, which was originally the office of Zhizaofu.

Although the Taipingfang Palace is not so close to the West Lake, it is more convenient for the emperor to handle government affairs.

This day Wanxi sent away the seal incense, and then Sun Yuqing came to pass the decree to take Wanxi to the Taipingfang Palace.

With such a coincidence of timing, Wanxi also understood that the emperor might want to hear her thoughts.She is a member of the banner, but she sheds the blood of the Han people. In this harem, she can best experience the pain of the separation between the Man and the Han.

When Wanxi arrived at the Taipingfang Palace, she couldn't help but look carefully all the way.

There are three kinds of weaving in Jiangnan: Hangzhou weaving, Suzhou weaving and Jiangning weaving.The responsibilities of the three weaving companies are similar, and Wanxi can't help but miss her elder brother Dexin.

My elder brother works in Jiangning Weaving. Although he is not in Hangzhou, but seeing this weaving office, he seems to be a little closer to his elder brother. From this, he can guess what kind of environment his elder brother has lived in these years.

After entering the dormitory, Wanxi did not expect to be so elegant.

The Shengyin Mountain Palace was first built as a palace during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, with relatively high regulations.Therefore, the emperor's dormitory over there is made of nanmu, which is the same as Chengde Mountain Resort.

But this Taipingfang Palace, because it was originally the weaving government office, so there is no Nanmu hall, it is just an ordinary public house.Fortunately, the weaving mansion is exquisite and beautiful, with moss marks on the steps and winding paths leading to secluded places, which makes Wanxi like it more.

Entering the palace, he saw the emperor himself making tea in an iron pot.

Wanxi hurried forward, firstly, the emperor shouldn't have to do this work himself, secondly——she couldn't help smiling and said, "The emperor is by the West Lake, can't you use an iron pot to cook Longjing?!"
.
Although tea is drunk in the east, west, north and south of China, the habits of drinking tea are different.For example, nomadic peoples such as Mongolia and Xueyu prefer to drink brick tea, and most of the tea bricks used are strong-flavored old green tea; they do not need to brew, but prefer to boil tea.

And the Longjing tea by the West Lake is a green tea with a light and fragrant taste, so it should be brewed rather than boiled.

Seeing her running over to stop her, the emperor couldn't help but curl his lips.He didn't resist, and let her serve her.

Wanxi carefully removed the iron pot from the charcoal stove, and poured the boiled tea into the cup—as expected, the tea color was not as clear as Longjing should have been, but turned black instead.

Wan Xi kept shaking her head, "Tsk tsk, the emperor is drinking Longjing as a medicinal soup!"

The emperor pouted, "...I cooked it for a long time. It smells delicious."

Wanxi sighed, "Then don't drink it, Your Majesty. Look, your Majesty, it's all tea and pig iron 'conflicting', so don't dare to drink it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's fine if I don't drink..."

But a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes, "But it's so bad, you can drink it."

　Over the past few years, Dongying iron teapots have become popular, and many people think that they are from Dongying.In fact, it is not, it has been mentioned in Lu Yu's "Tea Classic".This is all our Chinese, they just learned it.
