Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 462 New Year's Eve Banquet (6)

As soon as these words fell, the joy in the hall stopped suddenly, and the beautiful dancers spread out to make way.

Wu Danqing carefully carried an emerald plate with six exquisite purple sand teacups on it. He brought the tea to the emperor's throne steadily, leaned over and said respectfully,

"Your Majesty, after drinking for three rounds, I know that you are a little drunk. I ordered someone to make tea earlier. This water was collected from the white plum blossoms in the mansion a few days ago and melted. , I originally had a small pot, but unexpectedly there are only a few cups left after brewing tea, and I brought it here for the emperor and the princess to taste."

"Oh?" The emperor stood up slightly and looked at the clear tea in the cup and smiled immediately, "Ai Qing has a heart, bring it here and let me have a taste."

Hearing this, Wu Danqing immediately served tea to the emperor and imperial concubine Yu who were seated on top one by one, put a cup in front of Pei Yuzhang and Ning Yuyao each, and then handed the last two cups to Lu Boqi.

Pei Yuzhang and Ning Yuyao looked at each other, and they both focused on the tea in front of them, and the hands that were held under the desk involuntarily squeezed even tighter.

Is there any problem with this tea?
The two turned their attention to Wu Danqing again, and saw him returning to his seat, raising his teacup and saying, "Auspicious snowfall from the sky means that there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year. May God bless my Ningguo, which will flourish forever."

"It's a good one that lasts forever, let me taste how sweet this snow-boiled tea is." The emperor stood up and raised his glass, and Concubine Yu Gui stood up accordingly.

As soon as the emperor handed the tea to his mouth, Concubine Yugui stopped the emperor, took the tea in his hand and smiled, "Is the emperor so impatient? Can't wait to drink Master Wu's tea? Look, Wu The adults have said so many auspicious things, shouldn't you also express them?"

There was obvious jealousy in Concubine Yugui's tone, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face, and he said, "I originally wanted to announce this important event when the banquet was almost over and near the beginning of the new year. At this time, the interest of all the ministers is high, so I will make this matter public."

The emperor's tone paused, and during this brief pause, the banquet was completely silent.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts what the emperor wanted to announce.Regarding the upcoming crown prince announcement, they all broke into a cold sweat secretly.

Especially Lu Boqi, the corners of his mouth were raised high, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he already looked confident.

Ning Yuyao's face was also gloomy, and he could no longer maintain his previous calm.

Everyone's eyes fell on the emperor's face, the emperor's lips moved, but Concubine Yugui spoke again, and she returned the tea to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what you said next is related to the country, the result is announced In the end, I don’t know how many families are happy and everyone is sad, it’s better to take advantage of everyone’s excitement and have a drink with the officials first.”

Seeing this, Lu Boqi also smiled and said, "The minister then replaced the wine with Master Wu's tea, drank Ruixue into his belly, and filled his heart with a good harvest. May Ningguo be more prosperous in the new year."

"Prosperity and prosperity."

"Prosperity and prosperity."

All the officials echoed in unison, which lasted for a long time.

The emperor's eyebrows had already turned into crescent moons, he lifted the tea in his hand to his lips, and drank it down in one gulp.

Afterwards, Lu Boqi drank the tea without hesitation.

Concubine Yu raised the tea to her lips, looked at the emperor, and drank the tea.

Pei Yuzhang and Ning Yuyao silently clenched their hands under the desk, raised their glasses and looked at each other, and after seeing the fearlessness in each other's eyes, they also drank tea.

From the corner of Wu Danqing's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Pei Yuzhang's and Ning Yuyao's tightly holding hands, and there was a bitterness in his eyes.
