Moonlight Allure

Chapter 112 Tasting Tea and Playing Chess
Another sunny day with a breezy breeze.The flowers are red, the willows are green, the butterflies are dancing and the bees are flying around, and the flowers are blooming, which is too beautiful to behold.

In the prime minister's mansion, in the gazebo, a man and a woman are playing chess attentively.

'Crack' when the sunspots fall, the winner and loser of the chess game are instantly determined.

"You lost." A clear female voice sounded, she picked up the teacup with her slender fingers, and took a sip.

"Hey!" The handsome and handsome man on the opposite side sighed: "We lost again." He glanced at the exquisitely beautiful woman on the opposite side: "Sisister-in-law, it's been so many days, haven't you seen fourth brother yet?" The man was Xiao Yuche, and the woman opposite him was Luo Qingyan.

Putting down the teacup, Luo Qingyan didn't answer his words, but put away the chess pieces slowly.

"People in the imperial palace are panicking recently, but you are free."

When the imperial decree of marriage was issued that day, the empress in the palace was anxious, and she would take action soon.Before everything is fully grasped, Xiao Moli will definitely take precautions during this time.That's why she deliberately took advantage of Qin Yuxin's matter to deliberately fight him coldly, just to delay their time to do it.

Seeing that she seemed a little absent-minded, Xiao Yuche waved his hand in front of her.

"Fourth sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law?"

"En?" Luo Qingyan came back to her senses: "What?"

Xiao Yuche pursed his lips: "Didn't Fourth Brother explain everything to you clearly? Why are you still angry?"

Glancing at him, Luo Qingyan said lightly: "You talk a lot"

Xiao Yuche was noncommittal and shrugged: "I'm sorry for the fourth brother. That night, the fourth brother entered the palace immediately after returning from your place. He told the emperor's grandmother that he would never take a concubine in his life, as long as you are alone The imperial grandmother was very angry, but the fourth brother insisted on going his own way. He also threatened the imperial grandmother. If the imperial grandmother insisted on doing so, then he would leave the royal family and be willing to be a commoner. Hey," he said here, feeling a little sentimental: "I always thought Fourth brother is cold-hearted, but he doesn't want to, he is still an infatuated person." He pointed at Luo Qingyan while talking.

Luo Qingyan was a little surprised in her heart, but her face was calm.

"The fourth brother also said that Qin Yuxin upsets you as soon as he appears. He punished her for offending the future Princess Li. From now on, Qin Yuxin is forbidden to enter the palace, Qin Yuxin is forbidden to appear in front of him, and she is not allowed to be in the palace." Gossiping in front of you. You see, fourth brother really has deep affection for you, so don't neglect him any more. "

"Lubbed?" Luo Qingyan glanced at him coldly, she really didn't look like a child of the royal family.But it was also because of his unrestrained temperament that she was willing to be friends with him.

"Cough cough..." Xiao Yuche coughed dryly, and said in embarrassment, "Slip of mouth, slip of tongue." This woman seemed harmless, but she was calm and introverted. If she accidentally offended her, she didn't know how she figured it out.

"Didn't you forgive fourth brother? Why didn't you see him? Fourth brother suffered an internal injury that day, and these days he was unhappy because of you..." He purposely didn't finish his sentence, just wanting to look anxious.

However, Luo Qingyan glanced at him indifferently: "Why don't I know, when did you become a lobbyist? He asked you to come?"

"No." Xiao Yuche shook his head immediately, and then shook his head again: "Fourth brother said that you don't look well, let me show you." Actually, what's wrong with her?People who practice martial arts are already physically strong, so how can they get sick so easily.

Luo Qingyan shook his head, he was still thinking about her body.

"If you think you have nothing to do, you can go to the palace to accompany your grandmother more often." She said lightly.

yeah?Xiao Yuche glanced at her in surprise: "I thought you would hate the emperor's grandmother."

He gave him a blank look, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Bi Ying who was walking over with tea.His eyes couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yuche who was facing the chessboard and frowned in thought, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Miss" Biying called softly, and Xiao Yuche finally looked up at this moment.He glanced at Biying seemingly unintentionally, and then lowered his head as if thinking hard about what to do next.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I want to know, is there anything else you don't know?" This woman seems to be omnipotent. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, martial arts, poison and dancing. Is there anything else she doesn't know?
After a while, a faint voice came: "No one is perfect."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuche looked up, looking at her with great interest.

"Hehe..." Biying suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yuche finally cast his gaze on Biying, meeting his gaze, Biying couldn't help but blushed.She whispered: "Miss can do everything, but she doesn't know how to work as a female worker." She was also surprised that the daughter of the ordinary family can be a female worker.But their young lady knows everything, except that she can't work as a female worker.

"Eh?" Xiao Yuche seemed a little surprised by this answer, but also seemed to understand: "No wonder, you really don't look like a woman who is buried in a boudoir embroidering flowers and birds. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, if you get stabbed all over your hands, you will be injured." I guess fourth brother should feel sorry for me again." He seemed to be sighing, but it was teasing.

There was a 'pa', and Luo Qingyan glanced at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Xiao Yuche didn't take it seriously, and said while eating the dim sum: "Sister-in-law Si, your cook is really good. This dim sum is sweet but not greasy, and has a unique taste. Even the imperial chefs in the royal dining room of the palace can't make such delicious ones." Dessert" He took another sip of tea: "This tea is obviously not too expensive, but why does the tea you make at home have to be a little bit sweeter." He took another sip after finishing speaking.

Luo Qingyan ignored him, but Bi Ying couldn't help but speak.

"The recipe of this dessert was thought up by the young lady. It is different from the ones you usually eat outside. Although this dessert is called osmanthus cake, it is shaped like a lotus flower."

"Why is this?" Xiao Yuche became interested.

"Miss carved a jade bowl in the shape of a lotus flower in advance, and took it out when it was half-cooked, and carefully carved it with a carving knife. Even the stamens were lifelike, as if they were about to bloom. Then, they were coated with osmanthus juice to add fragrance. Then add the stored honey to make it more lustrous. Wait until it is half-cooked, then take it out, and use the fresh lotus leaves picked in advance to cook and decorate. Then it is steamed for the last time. Even The color of this dim sum is prepared with various petal juices and fruit juices. There are many procedures for this flower alone. So after steaming, it looks like a lotus flower just picked, and the petals and lotus leaves can be used Eat it. And after it is finally out of the oven, it has to be sprinkled with fresh lotus pollen. So the fragrance is tangy, and the mouth is sweet and smooth. Just this dim sum is worth a hundred gold on the outside." Biying said with a little pride.

"So complicated?" Xiao Yuche picked up a piece of exquisite snack, and sighed: "It's really exquisite, I can't bear to eat it after looking at it, this bite ruins the beauty." He shook his head seemingly regretfully.

"No one will force you if you don't eat." Luo Qingyan said coolly.

"Hehe" Xiao Yuche put the dim sum in his hand on the plate: "But I'm curious, sister-in-law, can this dim sum be taken out and carved with a knife?"

"certainly"

Luo Qingyan fell, and Xiao Yuche lost again.But he didn't care, and asked: "How do you do it?"

Luo Qingyan smiled inscrutablely: "There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart. As long as you make up your mind, you will definitely be able to do it. Just like this snack." She picked up a delicate snack, like a green lotus just picked, Spotless.

"When I make people knead the noodles, I tell them to knead the noodles carefully, and make them hard. When it is steamed to half-cooked, it is like plaster. Of course, it is easy to carve. Then put the ingredients, so that it will slowly loosen during cooking, and the aroma will be released." Slowly blend into it. This lotus flower that was originally a bud will slowly bloom, and it will be taken out after steaming, of course it is like a real lotus." She said this with some meaning, pointing to a pot on the table Tea.

"There is also this Dahongpao, although it is not top-notch. But the water I brewed in is different, so the taste is naturally different."

"Oh?"

"I asked Huansha and Biying to pick fresh lotus dew for this tea, and I picked a bottle every day. After boiling, only three quarters of it was left. This fresh lotus dew The brewed tea is mellow and sweet, with a strong tea aroma. Although this snack is good, the taste is also moderate. But if you eat too much, it will easily accumulate food in the stomach, making it difficult to digest. But this tea is sweet and thirst-quenching, just enough to promote the smooth flow of the stomach."

"It really is unique." Xiao Yuche nodded in praise: "Fourth brother will be blessed in the future."

Luo Qingyan frowned, why did Xiao Yuche start to speak indiscriminately while talking?
He couldn't help saying coldly: "Your chess skills are poor, and your chess quality is even worse."
