Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 1245 Concubine Zhang's Alliance Teammate

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sure you won't be able to guess, it's Chen Shulan!"

"Chen Shulan? Is that the salt merchant's daughter?" Feng Qi blinked, she really didn't have this person in her list, no wonder Liu Ye said she couldn't guess.

"That's not it. I've inquired about her affairs, and there's something you can't think of, but can you tell me your impression of Chen Shulan first?" Liu Ye began to play tricks again.

Feng Qi thought for a while: "It looks like she is indifferent to the world. At first I thought she didn't want to be a show girl."

Liu Ye curled her lips: "She not only wants to be a show girl, she even wants to replace the empress with great ambitions."

Feng Qi raised her eyebrows, thinking of the scene of barbecue, this woman is really not simple, but does he have any secrets?

Liu Ye continued: "In fact, she is not the most suitable young lady at home, she also has a younger sister who is stronger than her in age and appearance, the Chen family originally made her younger sister a showgirl.

Later, when the younger sister went to the temple to offer incense, she was taken away by bullies and brought into harm's way. She couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by biting her tongue. "

Feng Qi frowned: "So this Chen Shulan became a show girl?"

Liu Ye shook her head: "The Chen family has four daughters, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The youngest, Chen Shuju, originally had a marriage contract, but after Chen Shuzhu's death, the marriage contract was changed. Chen Shuju entered the palace, and Chen Shulan fulfilled the marriage contract.

But that Chen Shuju didn't know what happened. The day before she was going to enter the palace, she ate something wrong and got a rash all over her body. In the end, the Chen family could only let the most inconspicuous Chen Shulan enter the palace. "

Feng Qi's eyes turned cold, are there really so many coincidences?

"Where's the eldest daughter of the Chen family?"

Liu Ye said: "It seems that it is gone, but the servant girl didn't ask how it was gone."

Feng Qi nodded: "So can I find out the content of her cooperation with Concubine Zhang?"

Liu Ye sighed: "I don't know the details, but I probably know something. Concubine Zhang is Chen Shulan's backing, helping her speak well.

If Chen Shulan wins No.1, then she must join forces with her to deal with the empress. "

Feng Qi smiled faintly: "I guessed it, but I'm not that easy to deal with. If Chen Shulan wins the first place, then Concubine Zhang should deal with Chen Shulan the most."

"Why?" Liu Ye was a little confused.

Who is Chen Shulan, she hides so deeply, and her methods are vicious, so she will not willingly succumb to Concubine Zhang's despotic power.

Besides, she is the imperial concubine who gets the first place, what is Concubine Zhang?Killing her is a piece of cake. "

Liu Ye was not worried about Feng Qi at all: "Your Majesty, why don't you just watch and see what kind of trouble they can make."

Feng Qi nodded: "That's right, wait and see what happens. Let's go, the competition in the afternoon should also begin."

When the two came to the square, the beautiful girls here were a bit dull, maybe they were nervous because they didn't know today's exam questions.

Feng Qi took a look at the list and said, "Let's make tea today."

Making tea is not difficult, every girl in the boudoir has to learn, so all the beautiful girls are relieved.

however……

"Oh my God, this is a tea tree, how do you cook it before you pick it off?"

"Yes, shouldn't fresh tea leaves be roasted?"

"Well, should it be soaked directly? Will it be difficult to drink?"

"Sure enough, I can't think too well."

"Ugh……"

The beautiful woman looked at the tea tree in front of her sadly.

Feng Qi said with a smile: "Ten people, one tree, picking, frying and cooking tea by themselves."

Someone boldly asked: "I don't understand something, can I ask the empress?"

"Ask, you can ask any questions you have in the future." Feng Qi nodded.

"Empress Xie, I don't know what is the significance of this fresh tea leaves to the finished product?" the beautiful girl asked.

Feng Qi smiled lightly: "Every time the emperor goes out, he will bring some tea, but after all he is away from home so he doesn't bring much.

There are also some accidents, such as falling into the water or something, which makes the tea undrinkable. At this time, it depends on how you please Longxin. "

The words are very simple. To put it bluntly, if you bring a cup of fragrant hot tea to the emperor in a difficult situation, it will definitely warm the emperor's heart, and thus increase the degree of honor and favor.

All the show girls accepted this explanation, although the possibility of this accident is very small, but this skill is definitely a good skill to compete for favor if mastered.

A few show girls seem to have picked new tea, and their movements are smooth and smooth, which is very eye-catching.

The rest of the people could only follow suit, and secretly decided in their hearts to learn more about this aspect in the future.

Fortunately, these people all know that good tea leaves need a few leaves, and the tea picked is basically not bad.

The level of frying is not very easy, and some can be produced if the amount is small. After all, only one cup is enough.

There are also some who stir up tea leaves, they have to start again, fortunately this time there is no time in the competition, otherwise those who stir up will be miserable.

Feng Qi found a tea tree at random, picked some tea leaves at a dizzying speed, and then started frying them in a small iron pot. Toss the tea in the air for the first time and then drop it again.

Let the tea leaves not be scorched by the fire, and the color of the tea leaves is very beautiful when they are finally out of the pot.

The show girls looked dumbfounded, some admired, some were jealous, and some were disdainful.

"Taste it yourself." Feng Qi didn't ask them to bring the tea up.

The show girls tasted their own tea one after another, some were distressed, some were surprised, and some were indifferent.

Feng Qi is very satisfied with the performance of these people, after all, this is not ordinary tea.

"That's right, you all got full marks today." Feng Qi smiled lightly.

Those who did well were dissatisfied: "Empress, the courtiers are not convinced."

"Oh?" Feng Qi raised her eyebrows.

"The minister's work is very good, there is no mistake, the color and taste of this tea soup are first-class, and it should be given full marks. Why are their inferior teas also given full marks?"

Feng Qi nodded: "Good question, I will explain it to you, but first tell me, how long have you been learning from picking tea to making tea?"

"The courtier has studied with my grandmother for five years," said the woman.

Feng Qi nodded: "Five years, you already have five years of experience, but these people don't, it can be said that most of them are making for the first time.

Originally, the fixed points were three points for picked tea, five points for roasted tea, and two points for brewed tea. In the end, as long as the tea soup comes out, no matter whether it is good or not, it is full marks. "

The woman frowned and bowed to Feng Qi: "Your servant understands, it's really not easy to make tea soup for the first time."

Feng Qi smiled and said: "It's getting late today, you guys go back to rest, the competition will be normal tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow is embroidery, but the content of embroidery will not be made public for the time being, you have to prepare your needles and threads."

The hearts of all the beautiful girls were raised, not for anything else, just because of the mysterious smile on the corner of Feng Qi's mouth.
