The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 319 Emperor Poisoning (1)
The appearance of the emperor and his party immediately made everyone in the garden excited.

Especially the group of princes who were behind the emperor, who were outstanding in appearance, handsome and majestic, won the hearts of most of the young ladies in the garden. They all hung their heads and rubbed their handkerchiefs, showing a shy look.

Seeing the performance of these women, Boqing couldn't help shaking her head. She really thought that a sparrow could become a phoenix by flying on a branch. You must know that before becoming a phoenix, you have to go through the pain of being reborn from the ashes.

Although these people are recognized dignitaries in the world, they are all wolves in human skin. If they are not careful, they will be eaten to the bone.

Especially Xiao Jinyu, who was walking beside the emperor, always looked at her like a beast from time to time, and couldn't help thinking a little more in his heart.

I hope that what happened today has nothing to do with him, and it is best not to take any action today, otherwise he must be caught.

Emperor Yan and his party walked up to the Empress Dowager, and after saluting, the Empress Dowager said happily: "Usually you are all alone, and Ai's family can't even see a shadow, what kind of wind is it today that blows you all to the Palace of Compassion and Peace?"

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "Get up. I used to hear the crown prince and the queen mention that the prime minister's wife is proficient in tea art. That day, she snatched the tea that this girl made for the prime minister in Mu's mansion. The taste still makes me unforgettable. I just heard The prime minister's wife wants to make tea for the queen mother, and they happen to be in the imperial study, so they came here to ask me for a cup of tea after hearing that, the queen mother won't drive us away, right?"

His fickle heart moved slightly, and the news reached the emperor's ears. He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he thought about it in secret.

After regaining consciousness, the Queen Mother said with a smile on her face: "Even the emperor praised that girl so much, her tea art must be outstanding, no wonder Shuang'er has been thinking about it." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and gave Xiao Jinshuang a look.

Xiao Jinshuang's beautiful yet heroic face showed a very smug smile: "Shuang'er is not just thinking about it for herself, she is thinking about it for the emperor's grandmother, and by the way, thinking about it for her father, and also thinking about it for all the emperor brothers." Otherwise, how would you have the good fortune today, tasted the tea made by the prime minister's wife, don't you think?"

The emperor and others couldn't help laughing, the queen mother poked Xiao Jinshuang's forehead and said: "You girl, you are obviously greedy, but you still say that you are thinking about us. Now the Aijia wants to change the mourning towards the prime minister. Madam said, if the taste of this tea is not good, the Ai family will not punish the prime minister's wife, but punish you instead."

It made everyone around laugh, Xiao Jinshuang was not afraid, raised his head and said to Bo Qing: "Madam Prime Minister, you have heard it all, the fate of this princess is now in your hands, you must behave well, don't Let this princess be punished, let's begin!"

Boqing Fushen said with a smile: "Princess speaks, my wife should do her best." She pleaded guilty and sat in front of the tea table.

All the tribute teas placed on the table are the best of the best. When he was about to pick out the flavor of the tea, Emperor Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

The people who were full of anticipation were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the emperor.

Then the emperor said to Eunuch Qin, "You send someone to the Queen's Palace and ask her for a jar. The snow water on the plum blossoms that I collected with her a few days ago was said to be for the prime minister's wife to make tea for the queen mother." .” Eunuch Tan responded, and hurriedly sent someone to do it.

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised, and said with a kind smile: "The Ai family doesn't know that the emperor also knows the art of tea."

Emperor Yan twitched his beard and said: "How did I know this? I heard it all from the queen. The queen said that in this tea art, in addition to the tea leaves that are made of tea, the water used to make tea is also very particular. But I But I think, in fact, the most important thing is the state of mind of the person."

The Empress Dowager looked at Baoqing who was sitting quietly in front of the desk, and nodded with some understanding: "In this way, this tea art is not just as simple as making tea."

Boqing said lightly: "making tea is the same as chanting Buddha and practicing Taoism. When the heart is clear, the tea is clear, so this flower stamen is the best for calming the mind and cultivating the body. If the concubine is in a restless mood, she will make tea quietly. Slow down and be quiet."

After listening to the Queen Mother, she smiled happily and said: "Hearing what you said, the Ai family is even more curious about this tea art. If you feel depressed some other day, you will also have people perform tea art for the Ai family."

Emperor Yan said: "If your mother likes it, I will immediately send someone to find a tea master to perform for you."

While everyone was chatting, the eunuch who went to fetch water had already returned.

After taking it, Bo'er poured the water into a small copper kettle, put it on a small stove and boiled it slowly under the guidance of Bo Qing, and then burned incense in the purple gold incense burner.

Boqing cleaned her hands again and began to choose tea leaves. Her eyes flicked over all kinds of tea leaves, and suddenly she saw something familiar.

The clear eyes were gently closed to screen away the distracting thoughts in their hearts, and the moment they were opened again, there was nothing in the eyes, as clear as a holy spring in Lingshan.

Roasted tea, Niancha, Luocha, Houtang, Xie (xie) tea, when everything is ready, hold the whisk with one hand and pour the soup with the other, like flowing water.

In her eyes, these are usually just things to pass the time, but in the eyes of others, it is more like admiring a peerless painting.

Because this banquet was just a coincidence for the Empress Dowager, Bo Qing did not wear the clothes of Mrs. Gao Ming today, but a long skirt embroidered with big flowers of the other shore with silver and red silk thread.

The long hair was loosely tied into a small bun by the ears, and two jade hairpins were inserted, which were exactly the pair of manzhushahua jade hairpins that Xiao Jintian gave to her.

This is the dress that Boqing is accustomed to. Compared with the wives and young ladies who are surrounded by Jin Daicui, it shows that she is pure and refined, noble and elegant. Coupled with her focused expression, she is as pure as in a pilgrimage the saint.

With the ups and downs of the fickle hand movements, someone suddenly shouted in amazement: "Look, everyone, look at the wafting heat, does it look like a landscape painting?"

That call immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Sure enough, with the different movements of Boqing's hands, the heat rising from the tea table also fluctuated up and down, just like continuous strange peaks protruding, and ancient pines protruding from the stone wall. People are amazed.

While people were amazed, they saw the flinty jade wrist suddenly turned, and the heat changed with her movements.

In an instant, Kazuki Samuume quietly bloomed in the white snow, and finally with his hands together, a huge peony appeared in front of his eyes like a king.

The whole process of flirtatiousness was done calmly and in one go, as if everything was under her control, and what she wanted to change was all in her mind.

After a while, Baoqing closed her hands, revealing nine exquisite white porcelain teacups. The tea in the porcelain cups was as green as jade. Looking at it made people feel as pure as a Buddha, without a trace of dust. There was no sound in the garden. After recovering, everyone couldn't help I am amazed again and again, it is really a miracle.
