The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 384 Making Tea (2)
Zhao Jing saw it, but there was no teacup on it, so Zhao Jing thought it was just Zhou Xu's display.

"Since when did the emperor have such an elegant mood?" Zhao Jing walked up with a smile, and saw that the old root was more than half a meter in diameter, and the branches were strong, looking very imposing.

I only heard Zhou Xu say: "Last time I had a drink with the emperor's uncle, and today is the second time with my aunt. I will go to the tea room to explain it myself, so that they don't know which tea to serve."

After Zhou Xu finished speaking, he tossed his robe and went outside. Zhao Jing wanted to call him to stop, but saw that he had put on the robe and left the imperial study to go to the tea room.

The tea rooms of the Royal Study Room are located in the side rooms on both sides of the main hall. Because of the large space, the maids and eunuchs usually rest here.Although Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui are both timid girls, the maids in this palace don't usually see people from outside, especially those who work in the imperial study. It's so easy to see girls' homes, so the two of them After sitting for a while, he was surrounded by several young maids asking this and that.

"Second Miss Xu, is your Marquis treating our aunt well? The emperor just couldn't bear it when my aunt just came out of the palace. It's hard to eat and sleep every day!"

"Uncle treats my aunt very well. I don't see any smiles on my uncle's face on weekdays. Only when he is in front of my aunt, can I always smile happily." Xu Xian's eyes were shining when she said this. I love it very much, but I haven't smiled at myself a few times.Everyone in the house originally thought Xu Si'an was like this, but since Zhao Jing entered the door, they realized that Xu Si'an didn't know how to laugh, but was just too lazy to smile at others.

"Auntie is the best married among us maids who have left the palace. Aunt Chunxiu will marry in a few days, but she is a noble concubine after all, not as honored as Madam Hou like my aunt." They haven't reached the age of leaving the palace, but they have already begun to think about the future, and everyone has some longing in their hearts.

While talking lively inside, suddenly a voice came from the door saying: "Go and pour a cup of tea, I want to give it to the emperor!"

The little maids were discussing Huan, but they didn't react for a while. When everyone raised their heads, they saw Lu Xinyue half sideways, standing at the door of the tea room.

How did Lu Xinyue know that Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui were sitting in this tea room, so she was a little embarrassed to see the two of them here.Although she has always been gentle and pleasant in front of people, it doesn't mean that she is also like this in front of these servants in the palace.At this time, the two of them suddenly saw her, and she felt a little bit annoyed, so she bit her lips and said to the little palace lady beside her, "Why are you standing still, hurry up and make tea."

Most of the maids who served in front of the little emperor also had exquisite hearts, so when they saw Lu Xinyue like this, they naturally flattered them on the surface and scolded them in private.It's a pity that Princess Lu is very considerate in front of the emperor, but the emperor likes her very much, so what can they do if they are slaves?

At this time, Lu Xinyue's eyes had already lingered on Xu Xian. When she was growing up with Ji that day, her mother told her to take Xu Xian to play with her, so she didn't neglect her that day. .But what virtue and ability does this Xu Xian have today, that even the Queen Mother likes her so much?In terms of birth, she doesn't have to live up to herself, and in terms of appearance, even Qi Xinrui next to her can't compare, let alone herself.

Lu Xinyue gave Xu Xian a cold look, but Xu Xian was too embarrassed to sit down again, so she stood up together with Qi Xinrui, and said to Lu Xinyue, "Greetings to the princess."

At this time, Lu Xinyue didn't want to look at her again, she just glanced over her body coldly, but her gaze stayed on the tourmaline on her wrist.That string of tourmalines was too bright, it was the best watermelon tourmaline she had ever seen, but it was a pity that it was now on Xu Xian's wrist.

The anger in her heart hadn't dissipated yet, but the maid over there had already come over with a tea tray, and she only spoke cheerfully: "My lord, the tea is ready, it's the Emperor's favorite West Lake Longjing."

Lu Xinyue responded lightly, and when she was about to take the tea tray, a poisonous plan suddenly appeared in her heart.She deliberately pretended to reach out and take the tea tray lightly, but she didn't use any strength in her hand at all. As a result, the boiling hot tea poured down coldly, and it was about to splash onto Xu Xian's body with a splash.

Xu Xian was young, so she only yelled in shock, but fortunately, Qi Xinrui, who was standing beside her, reacted a beat faster, and hurriedly pushed Xu Xian aside.However, the tea in the cup also splashed all over the floor, slightly staining a corner of Qi Xinrui's dress.

Seeing this, Lu Xinyue didn't panic, instead she raised her head and said to Abi who had just handed her tea, "How did you serve the tea? It looks like you've stained the dresses of the two girls! "
