Chapter 31
The mediocre days pass by the fastest, and it will be spring in a blink of an eye.In order to wish that all things grow better in the new year, Kangxi ordered the House of Internal Affairs to organize a 'tea banquet'.Inevitably, I will be in charge of making tea at the tea banquet.
help!Normally, Xiangning does it for her, but now she asks me to soak it, not because she intends to embarrass me!Worst of all, in order to ensure the fairness and openness of the tea selection, I had to make tea in front of everyone, not even looking for the shooter.
I had no choice but to read the "Tea Classic" given to me by the [-]th night. If I didn't have braids, I would have my head hanging from the beam.
"Sister is so leisurely and carefree!" This girl, since the last big reconciliation, she has become more and more 'presumptuous'.
"Stop mocking me! I'm not worried about tomorrow's tea party."
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he woke up a little and continued reading.I was so tired, my upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting, I struggled between reading and sleeping, and finally I decided to sleep for a while and continue reading.Unexpectedly, I fell into unconsciousness as soon as I touched the pillow, and I slept until five o'clock, fortunately, Xiangning was covering it for me, otherwise it would have been miserable.
I hurriedly got up, dressed and tidied up, and hurriedly prepared for the next tea banquet.Tea from all over the provinces has been delivered one after another.
Longjing before the rain, Dahongpao, Mengding Ganlu, and Qianlong’s favorite Biluochun, etc...
This is the first time I have seen so many tea leaves, which really opened my eyes.I was amazed for a while, and joined the inventory work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.I looked at the dizzying varieties of tea in front of me, and I said what I just learned last night in one breath.Who said that sharpening a gun in front of the battle is not effective, but it is still very effective, at least the group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were stupefied by me.
After tossing for half a day, the tea feast is finally about to begin.Kangxi sat in the middle, surrounded by his concubines.From the left hand side are: Concubine Mi, Concubine Xiang, Concubine Jin; from the right, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi, Concubine Tong, Concubine Ding, Concubine De, Concubine Huihui sitting on both sides of Kangxi.
Xipin, I am very familiar with her, because she is my favorite 21 elder brother - Yinxi's mother-in-law.She was wearing a plain silver cheongsam, looking very simple and approachable.
Concubine De is wearing very gorgeously today, a bright dark purple cheongsam, which makes her look very eye-catching.On the other side, the imperial concubine Huihui was not to be outdone, and she was gorgeous in a pink dress.It is well known that Kangxi likes foreign things, and she also knows how to match what she likes.
After appreciating the wonderful tea-picking dance, it's time to go to the tea art performance, followed by the tea tasting session.A tea art artist, a handful of long-mouth pots.The scalding water flowed down quickly, and then floated in the air as the artist turned his body. For a moment, I thought there was magic to make the water defy gravity.Halfway through the appreciation, I went down to prepare tea. It's a pity that I can't finish watching such a wonderful performance.
In front of all the princes and ministers, I brewed cup by cup, and the fragrance of tea slowly drifted out with the hot water vapor.I never thought that making a good cup of tea can give me such a sense of accomplishment.But when I brewed so much tea and saw so many people drinking the tea I brewed, an inexplicable sense of pride emerged.I was suddenly very grateful to Fourteen. It was the "Tea Classic" he gave me that kept me from making a fool of myself.
A tea banquet, that is, a tea banquet, naturally does not end with just making tea.What's more, it was already noon and everyone wanted lunch, so I tentatively asked Kangxi if he wanted lunch, and he let me decide for myself.After thinking about it, I felt it was necessary.Moreover, this lunch can't be ordinary, since it is a 'tea feast', let's simply have a 'tea meal'.
Now that I have made up my mind, I hastened to send someone to invite the Imperial Dining Room to make a 'tea feast'.Stewed chicken with tea leaves, steamed meat with tea powder, stir-fried shrimp with tea leaves, mussel tea soup, etc...
When Kangxi saw these dishes, his heart was overjoyed, and he only said that I was a ghost, and rewarded me with a top-notch red robe on the spot, and even made an exception for me to have a meal with my master at the same table as a servant.
"Now you are so majestic!"
As soon as the tea feast was over, Shisi couldn't wait to come to me.
"Hehe, that's thanks to you!"
"Thanks to me, don't say that, how can I help you!" He looked puzzled.
"You forgot, when I first entered the palace, you gave me a copy of "The Classic of Tea" for my birthday! That would be of great help to me!"
"The "Tea Classic"? How come, you remember it wrong! That time when I was about to give you a gift but ran into Huang Ama, I forgot about it. I feel ashamed to say it, I..."
Fourteen's words were like a bolt from the blue, if it wasn't from him, who else would.I suddenly thought of a person - the fourth elder brother, I don't know why I thought it was him.Obviously there are many other candidates, such as Concubine De, but my first instinct is the fourth elder brother.What's wrong with me, he takes good care of me, but he also remembers things like birthdays!There is another possibility, because Nian Gengyao is my older brother.In order to build a good relationship with my brother, he did it on a whim. After all, except for that time, I never received a birthday present.
There is no result in thinking wildly here, so I just ask him, and do it when I think of it.I didn't have time to say hello to Shisi, so I hurried to look for Si elder brother.I inquired everywhere, only to find out that he was sought by Kangxi, and I waited for him outside the Golden Luan Hall.After a while, he came out with the ministers, and the ministers congratulated him one after another, congratulating him on becoming the prince.
I wanted to go up to him and ask him, but he was a prince and I was just a court lady, so I quietly hid behind the stone steps and watched him leave.He seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly turned around to check. My heart tightened, and I tightened even closer to the stone steps.Suddenly, there was an unexplainable pain in my heart.I gritted my teeth and didn't make a sound, but the sound of falling to the ground couldn't be covered up.He still found me, and in a trance, I saw him running down the stone steps quickly, and then I fell unconscious.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in my own room.Xiangning brought me Chinese medicine, she fed me the medicine juice, and then left.The fourth elder brother came one after another, and he said, "You look for me."
"The Book of Tea..."
He frowned, and said lightly, "It's just for the "Tea Classics."
"Is it... you sent it..." He sent it, and I already have the answer in my heart, but I still want to hear his own confirmation.
"Yes!" He replied very simply, "Just for this," he approached me, "You risk your life for this!" There was a hint of anger in his tone, and he asked.Is he caring about me?With the still cold face, I can't see any clues.
"Yes." I answered truthfully, also to provoke him, hoping to catch a clue.He didn't give me a chance, he said: "Forget it, probably blame me for 'nosy'." He turned and left.
I watched him leave, is he caring about me?I denied it, but I vaguely felt that the answer was yes.
