Concubine Jinghua: The black-bellied prince, please stay here

Chapter 447
Qi State
After getting along for a period of time, Danxin seems to have regarded Shen Qian as one of his own, not only a confidant, but also a good partner who can discuss great things together.

"There is news from Wei State that Yun Huan will set off for Qi State in a short time. What do you think he should do when he arrives, what do you think, Shen Qian?" Dan Xin's eyes turned slightly, and he asked while playing chess road.

Shen Qian said indifferently: "You must concentrate on playing chess, you will lose if you do this." As soon as the words fell, Shen Qian made a move, and indifferently saw that his black chess was completely defeated.

"It's really what you said." I have never won Shen Qian once before, and if I continue like this, I am afraid that I will not have the confidence to play with him.But every time she plays chess with Shen Qian, Dan Xin always gets a lot of different insights.

"So, no matter what you do, you must be single-minded." Shen Qian said again.

Danxin waved his sleeves and ordered people to put away the chessboard, and sat at the table with Shen Qian, "I'm really not used to not going to court. Drinking tea and playing chess every day is like the life of ordinary people." It has not yet arrived During the Lantern Festival, all the officials are resting at home and do not need to go to court early, but Danxin feels very boring.

Hearing this, Shen Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Empress, you are really different, who would think that you have too much rest time." Just as the maid brought tea, Shen Qian asked the maid to step back, and got up to make tea for Dan Xin .

First put out the prepared tea sets one by one, then take out the tea leaves from the brocade box, observe carefully and put them into the teapot.

"Don't you want to fill it up?" Seeing that Shen Qian only put a little tea in it, Danxin couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's enough to use less than half of the teapot. Think of the teapot as three servings, about one serving is enough." Shen Qian explained patiently, then paused for a moment, guessing that the time was up, and poured out the tea, "This is the first There is a way to wash tea, the tea leaves in this course are not drinkable, because the tea leaves have just stretched out, and the aroma and rhyme are not perfect, so it is only used to wash the cup to retain the fragrance."

Shen Qian explained while doing it.

It's not that Danxin has never seen tea art before, but they are all tea artists performing, so it's not easy for her to ask.I mentioned it to Shen Qian when we were chatting, but I didn't expect that today, Shen Qian would actually perform tea art in front of her and explain it in such detail.

To be honest, if she hadn't already had someone in her heart, just like Shen Qian, it is estimated that any woman would be tempted.

After a few more efforts, Shen Qian's tea finally came out.

Danxin picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but Shen Qian said quietly: "Sip in small sips, three sips are the taste. Taste Tieguanyin, take a sip and hold it on both cheeks, and sip it slowly to the tip of the tongue. The second sip is still sipping slowly, and the fragrance has a rhyme, and the rhyme is sweet; the third mouth is full of orchid fragrance, and the aftertaste is endless..."

"It's really good..." Danxin followed Shen Qian's method to taste the tea slowly, after tasting the tea carefully, he found that it was really as he said.

Putting down the teacup and looking at Shen Qian: "I didn't expect your tea art to be so good, what else do you not know, can you tell me?"

Shen Qian lowered her brows and smiled slightly, neither boasting nor disgusting, she just said, "Actually, I am not good at tea art, but I like tea. I love, like, understand, and cherish tea. In the process of making tea, pay attention to It is calm, natural, and honest to let tea play to its best. If the essence of tea is lost because of the performance, I am not willing."

Shen Qian raised her chin proudly, "So I'm not tea art, I'm just drinking tea."

"It takes so much effort to drink tea. I don't have that much time." Although Danxin likes it, it takes too much time. Except for the rest time during the few days of the New Year, she almost takes lunch breaks all year round. How about some time to study tea art?
"In the future, if the empress wants to drink tea, no matter where she is, just say hello, and Shen Qian will arrive immediately." Shen Qian tasted the tea in her cup, "It tastes good, what do you think?"

Seeing that he had finished his cup, Dan Xin couldn't help saying sincerely: "That's right, it would be great if everyone could drink such delicious tea."

Seeing that Danxin deliberately changed the topic, Shen Qian looked gloomy, but raised his head again after a while.If this little setback could defeat him, then he would not be able to stay by the Queen's side long ago.

"By the way, on New Year's Eve, Empress, you were drunk and did not fulfill your wish. Do you have time tonight?" I originally invited Danxin to enjoy the fireworks together on New Year's Eve, but Shen Qian waited until the next morning. Appear.After rushing back to the palace to inquire, I found out that Danxin was actually drunk that night.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." When I mentioned this matter, I felt guilty in my heart, "Okay, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so tonight."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky outside, "It's too early to go out, so how about it, I heard that the major gambling houses in the city are very arrogant, you follow me to take a look, it's a private visit."

The corner of Shen Qian's mouth twitched, is this a date or dealing with government affairs?But indifferent, how dare he refuse, and said with a smile: "Queen, you really can't be idle, are you born like this?"

When Shen Qian returned to the Princess Hall to pick up some things, Dan Xin was already dressed in men's clothing and waiting in the imperial study.

"Empress, who is this?" Shen Qian couldn't help turning her head and snickering when she saw the light-hearted makeup.

He glanced at him lightly, and said: "I am so alluring, if women go out with you in women's clothing, do you think you can still walk in the streets and alleys?"

"Yes, the empress is wise!" Shen Qianchao Danxin gave a thumbs up, and looked at Danxin carefully. There is a kind of person who is always suitable for heavy makeup, but Danxin, even men's clothing is not inferior.

Shen Qian stood beside Danxin, saw that she was not much shorter than him, and then looked at her red lips and white teeth, and said, "It's over, I'm going to take you out now, my limelight has been outmatched by you .”

"Haha." Danxin smiled heartily, "That's what I want." After speaking, he strode towards the outside of the hall.

"Whose handsome son, wait for me?" Shen Qian strode to catch up, and walked out of the palace with Dan Xin.

After leaving the palace, the two first found a restaurant and sat down on the second floor with a great view. "Xiao Er, I want these dishes..." Shen Qian clicked out a lot of dish names, wondering why he didn't ask what he likes to eat. favorite dishes.

Something is about to come out, but he is indifferent but forcefully ignores it, looking out of the window a little bit, he can have a panoramic view of all the scenes on the street as far as he can see.

"Which gambling house is that over there?" Dan Xin caught a glimpse of a gambling house on the south side of his line of sight, with gamblers coming and going, how busy it was, so he couldn't help asking.

Shen Qian followed her indifferent eyes, squinted her eyes for a while, and then said: "Zuixian Pavilion used to be the most prosperous casino in Jingzhou City, but now it has been compared to another one."

"Isn't this kind of business a good business?" Looking at the gamblers coming and going at the door indifferently, and then looking at the building, it is estimated that the building is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people.But if so many people are obsessed with gambling, what should their families do?
"Not counting." Shen Qian lightly shook her head, just as Xiao Er was serving food, Shen Qian stopped the topic, "Let's eat first, after I'm done, I'll accompany you to the No. [-] gambling house."

When Xiao Er heard that the two were going to the No. [-] Gambling House, the chatter broke out in an instant, "You two are going to the No. [-] Gambling House?"

Looking at Xiao Er's expression, he knew that he had something to say, so he nodded lightly, "That's right, do you have any suggestions?"

Xiao Er was so fascinated by the indifferent smile, he didn't know why he would be confused by another 'man' as a man.It wasn't until Shen Qian snapped his fingers in front of the shop waiter that the shop waiter came back to his senses, "You two are so handsome, so you must not go there. This first gambling house is in the gambling business on the surface, but it's dirty in private. There's a lot going on."

When this matter was brought up, Xiao Er became very angry, "I heard that a few days ago, a man lost money there, and he ran out of money. The first gambling house said to lend it to him and pay it back slowly. Who Knowing that the man lost again, he borrowed again, and this borrowed a lot. The first gambler saw that the man had not paid the money, so he ran to his house, tied up his wife and daughter, bought them in a brothel, and went to pick up customers and pay them back. Money, you say, is this immoral?"

"So wicked?" He listened calmly and realized the seriousness of the matter, and frowned, "Did that man not report to the police?"

Xiao Er curled her lips, "Why do you apply for an official? These days, officials and businessmen have colluded. As long as the merchants give them enough money, how can the officials care about you?" One and five countries, but even our own country is managed like this, what do you think it is?"

"You..." Shen Qian was about to get up when she heard the gesture, but Dan Xin pressed his hand, and shook her head slightly to signal him not to be impulsive.

"Little bastard, you're talking bad things about the No. [-] gambling house here again, right?" The manager ran up and tugged at Xiao Er's ear, "I'm just wondering, who is that man, and you speak for him everywhere?"

While being pinched by the ears, Xiao Er said, "Any righteous person will speak up for him, shopkeeper, you are too hard-hearted."

"Justice? Can justice be eaten? You, a little ant, can contend against the power behind the No. [-] gambling house? If you continue like this, you will get into trouble sooner or later, and my shop will be implicated. I warn you, I can't let you go." You!" The shopkeeper Haosheng taught Xiaoer a lesson.

Danxin lost her appetite for dinner, and put down her chopsticks after dealing with it casually. Shen Qian knew that she was in a bad mood, so she called Xiao Er, "Check out."

"Why isn't it the one from just now?" Looking calmly at the Xiao Er who came in was not the Xiao Er who just told them about the first casino, he couldn't help but worry, did the manager of this shop do something to Xiao Er?
"Get out of here, my shop is too small to accommodate you." When the two walked out of the restaurant side by side, they happened to see the waiter thrown out of the restaurant by the person in charge.

Dan Xin stepped forward to help him up from the ground, looked at the scar on his arm, "Take this money and find a good doctor."

"No, justice is what everyone should do." After finishing speaking, he spitting at the door of the restaurant, "I don't want to stay in such a crappy place."

"Then would you like to do me a favor?" Danxin invited him with burning eyes.
