The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 18 Making Tea
Early the next morning, Qilan came to my room and waited on me.

After we finished washing and tidying up our clothes, we heard voices coming from outside the house.

"Is Third Miss here?"

Hearing this, I glanced at Qilan, and then said, "Go out and have a look."

When Qilan heard this, she ran out, but soon she came back again.

"Miss San, she is Elder Sister Bailing in the Da Furen's courtyard."

Hearing that it was someone from Da Furen's side, I hurriedly got up, and then said: "Quickly tell her to come in and talk."

When Bai Ling came in, he had a sad expression on his face. Now that he saw me, he hastily saluted and said, "Miss San, can I have breakfast? Da Furen invites you to Fuxiangyuan!"

I was a little surprised when I heard this.

"What does mother want from me?"

On weekdays, Da Furen seldom sends someone to ask me to go to her yard, but now I am afraid that something important will happen to me.

Seeing me asking this question, Bai Ling looked a little embarrassed.

"Third Miss will know when she goes."

Hearing this, I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I stopped talking about having breakfast immediately and said, "Then let's go."

Seeing that I was about to leave, Qilan beside me said anxiously: "Miss San, you haven't had breakfast yet!"

Hearing this, I already walked out of the house, and said as I walked, "I will use it when I come back from breakfast. My mother has something to do with me right now. I have to go. Hurry up and get me a cloak. It's very cold outside." .”

After all, I have already left the room with Bai Ling, behind, Qilan hurriedly took a cloak and quickly rushed up to put it on me.

When I came to Fuxiangyuan, I could smell the smell of burning incense from a distance.

Bai Ling brought me into the lady's room, and as soon as I entered, I saw the lady holding a letter in her hand.

Seeing me coming, Da Furen put the letter in her hand on the table, raised her eyes to look at me carefully, and then sighed slightly.

Seeing the eldest lady like this, my heart trembled slightly.

"Greetings to mother."

I carefully saluted the eldest lady, and the eldest lady smiled faintly and said, "Get up."

Then the eldest lady handed me the letter on the table, "This letter was written by the Empress Dowager herself, you can read it yourself."

After receiving the letter that Da Furen handed me, I took a rough look at it, and only then did I understand why Da Furen sighed like this.

The general meaning of this letter is that the empress dowager mentioned the marriage between Yu Wenli and me, and she hoped that the eldest lady would make the decision for me. After two years, I will not have to enter the palace for a draft. It would be a good thing to become Princess Li directly .

"Mother, this..."

Indeed, I was completely dumbfounded when I saw this letter.

The eldest lady sighed softly and said: "I also heard about what happened to the three of you sisters in the palace yesterday, especially about you. Prince Li personally asked the emperor for a marriage, but you Refused to marry, Empress Dowager also said in the letter that this would damage the face of the royal family, so your marriage with Prince Li will not be possible."

I froze when I heard this.

Could it be that these outsiders have to decide my marriage?I am not reconciled, and besides, I have no intention of marrying Yu Wenli, all I want to do is enter the palace for revenge.

I pursed my lips tightly and didn't know what to say. When I remembered that I was Zhou Ning in my previous life, the marriage between me and Yu Wenjin was also planned by the current queen mother. Now I think that she will intervene in the relationship between me and Yu Wenli. I am even more dissatisfied.

"Third girl, even the empress dowager is concerned about this matter, you should think about it yourself."

Naturally, I can understand the meaning of what Da Furen said, if I don't want to marry Yu Wenli again, I'm afraid I will offend the Empress Dowager, if I offend the Empress Dowager alone, it is tantamount to offending the whole Murong Mansion to the Empress Dowager.

I clenched my fists subconsciously, but I had to maintain a harmless look on my face.

"Mother's words, Qingluan will definitely think carefully."

When I came out of Da Furen's room, I was still holding tightly the letter Da Madam handed me. Qilan stood beside me and saw that my face was not looking well, and said with a worried expression: "Third Miss, it's useless. Shan, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing my words, I turned my head to look at this familiar but unfamiliar face, yes, this Qilan, not that Qilan, how could she understand the pain in my heart.

I smiled faintly at her and said, "It's okay, let's go, you followed me here early in the morning, and you didn't have breakfast yourself."

I said this casually, but Qilan took it to heart, "Miss San hasn't had her breakfast yet, so naturally we slaves can't eat it first, but the servants have heard before that Miss San is a kind master." , it is a blessing for a servant to serve you."

Kind master?

I suddenly wanted to laugh, if the people in this entire Murong Mansion knew that my purpose of living was to kill the current emperor and empress, who would think that I was kind-hearted.

As soon as I came out of the yard, I saw a handsome man rushing towards Fuxiangyuan.

Although I have never seen this man before, but I understood it at a glance, this should be the eldest son of Da Furen, Murong Heng, also my elder brother.

Murong Heng has served in the army for a long time, and he seldom returns home, I haven't seen him for more than a month since I returned to the mansion, when we met this time, I saluted him and said: "Brother is well! "

Seeing me suddenly, Murong Heng stopped immediately, looked at me with a strange face, but heard Qi Lan who was beside me say: "Eldest Young Master, this is Third Young Lady."

Hearing this, Murong Heng just reacted.

"It turned out to be the third sister!"

A smile appeared on Murong Heng's face, and then he said: "I heard that you went back to the house a few days ago, I don't want to see you today as a last resort, and my elder brother has never brought you any gifts, so I will send someone to your house tomorrow." go inside."

Hearing this, I immediately smiled and said, "Brother is out, but I see that he is walking in a hurry, but do you have something urgent to discuss with your mother?"

Seeing what I said, Murong Heng was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said: "Last night, a small country on the border came to harass my Daqing territory and plundered many people. I came to bid farewell to my mother. The emperor has appointed me to personally Lead troops to crusade against these small countries, and restore the peace of our Daqing border."

When I heard about this, I was taken aback immediately, and then said: "Then brother, hurry up and go in, I'm afraid the next trip will be extremely stressful."

After I finished speaking, Murong Heng hastily entered the yard. Originally, I had been thinking about the marriage between Yu Wenli and me, but now that I met Murong Heng face to face, I was concerned about my own affairs. Let it go first.

Murong Heng's words brought back many memories for me.

I remember that when I was the empress, I often saw Yu Wenjin was troubled by these small border countries. Now that something like this happened, he might be worried for a long time again.

I always remember that when he was bothered, I would personally cook a pot of calming tea for him. That tea was brewed by a famous tea art master professor and me when I was in Zhou Mansion when I was young. At that time, I could feel that Yu Wenjin also liked the calming tea I made, so whenever he encountered troublesome things, he stayed in my bedroom and drank the tea I made. He is relieved.

However, now that his queen has changed to another person, I don't know if Zhou Xiaolian can be as good as me and can calm Yu Wenjin's emotions. Of course, she is a concubine after all, so I am afraid she has never had the skills like me.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that Murong Qingfeng was about to enter the palace.

Back in the courtyard, I had breakfast and sent Qilan to invite Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing to my room.

I searched for tea making utensils, and found some tea leaves. Although the tea leaves in my room are definitely not as good as those in the palace, the ingredients of Anshen Tea are actually simple, but they are made from some ordinary scented teas.

When Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing came, there was already a faint fragrance of tea overflowing.

As soon as Murong Qingqing entered the room, she smiled and said, "Third Younger Sister is inviting us to drink tea, the fragrance of tea can be smelled from a distance."

At this moment Murong Qingfeng also faintly laughed.

"I never thought that the third younger sister would have such superb tea-making skills."

Hearing this, I looked at the two of them with a charming smile and said, "You two sisters were joking, I read some books on tea art a few days ago, and today I found these things to try for myself, and I also want to invite the two of you Sister, come and have a taste, and see that my self-taught ability is still a bit powerful."

At this moment the tea was ready, Qilan poured two cups and handed them to Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing respectively.

The two of them smiled and tasted each other, but after a while, Murong Qingqing laughed and said: "Sister, this is really the first time for you to make tea? This tea makes people feel very comfortable when you drink it."

Murong Qingfeng also put down the teacup, and then said: "Third sister, can you teach me how to make tea?"

Murong Qingfeng is so intelligent, I had expected early on that she would need some skill to enter the palace in the future, and this tea art can be regarded as an elegant art.

I immediately smiled and said: "What did the elder sister say? Today I invite you and the second elder sister to come here because I think tea-making is a good skill to learn, and I want you to come and have a look together. Our sisters The three of you can learn together."

After all, I talked with Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing about the skill of making tea, but Murong Qingqing only cared about tasting tea, and it was Murong Qingfeng who really wanted to learn.

This time passed in a blink of an eye, Murong Qingfeng was also a smart person, I said something, and she carefully picked up my ready-made tea set and thought about it by herself, Murong Qingqing was still a little interested, after a long time She was tired.

"Elder Sister, Third Younger Sister, instead of discussing how to make tea here, we might as well sneak out of the house right now and play with swords and guns."

Hearing this, Murong Qingfeng looked up at Murong Qingqing and blamed him: "You, who likes to wield knives and guns all day long, should also learn other things to be close to you, so that when you get married in the future, you won't be in trouble The husband's family is obviously useless."
