Chapter 45 Tasting Tea

After a period of repeated trials, the Queen made careful arrangements and plans for the promotion of new tea proposed by Su Qiyu. Various scented teas were classified according to different functions and became popular throughout the harem. On this day, the Queen invited all the palaces to

The concubine went to the back garden of Changxi Palace to enjoy flowers and taste tea.

The Changxi Hall has always been a quiet place. Today, the concubines of all the palaces are all dressed up and dazzling like flying butterflies among the flowers in the garden. Concubine Wan, Concubine Li, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Su Qiyu are all invited.

Accompanied by Lan Zhu, Su Qiyu came to the back garden wearing a simple and elegant green dress. Compared with other colorful concubines, she was instantly compared to the other concubines, just like the green leaves lining the red flowers. Only a pair of veins under her plain face

His passionate eyes make everything around him dim and beautiful.

The queen was sitting on the phoenix chair in the middle, watching Su Qiyu coming, Shi Shiran stepped forward to salute, with thoughtful etiquette, decent dress, and a look of approval on Ci'an's face.

It was such a refreshing and indifferent concubine who was favored without fighting, which made her feel a little more at ease.

"Okay, everyone, take a seat!"

The queen greeted the concubines who were sitting and standing.

According to their positions, Concubine Wan and Concubine Xiang sat at the top on the left and right respectively. Su Qiyu and Concubine Li sat next to Concubine Xiang.

Su Qiyu thought of Jinmo's visit to Hanxiang Palace on the night of the Lantern Festival a few days ago, so she couldn't help but tilted her head curiously and paid attention to Xiang Fei.

It has been more than a month since I came back from the paddock. This is the first time I have seen Xiang Fei. I can still remember all the past events, but my feelings are different when I see Xiang Fei now. She has taken off her heavy makeup and is wearing red.

Her clothes are a comfortable and elegant water red color, and the number of red hairpins on her hair ornaments has been reduced by half, making her less flamboyant and more beautiful. Looking at her temperament, she seems to be indifferent.

After the Queen ordered the maid to bring the scented tea, Concubine Xiang elegantly raised her hand and brought the tea to her lips, taking a sip and savoring the aftertaste. A trace of satisfaction showed on the corner of her curved mouth, and her light smile was like the lilies blooming in her teacup.

Generally elegant and gentle.

How can a man not be attracted by such a rare beauty?

If Jin Mo saw her like this, he would definitely be heartbroken.

At this moment, a harsh voice sounded at an inappropriate time. "Sister Yufei is going to lose her soul looking at sister Xiangfei."

Xiang Fei's eyes turned slightly, and her bright black eyes caught Su Qiyu's gaze. Su Qiyu hurriedly looked back and focused on the talkative person.

Concubine Wan looked at Su Qiyu with a domineering look, her eyes seemed to convey the meaning of "I just want to find trouble."

Su Qiyu ignored Concubine Wan's eyes and quickly stood up and bowed to the queen: "I have lost my decency!"

The queen waved her hand to let her sit down, and kindly helped Su Qiyu: "Xiang Fei and Yu Fei have similar faces. Standing together is like looking into a mirror. If there is someone in this palace who looks similar to me, it is inevitable to

I’m curious to take a few more looks, Yufei, don’t you think so?”

Su Qiyu was grateful to the queen for helping her and saving her from embarrassment, so she agreed and sat down.

Seeing the queen's help, Concubine Wan didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to continue this topic.

Sipping the tea, they each commented on the tea in their cups. They all felt that this tea was very good for popularizing in the harem. It not only saved expenses, but also scented tea played a very important role in women's conditioning. The queen often laughed at this.

Yep, her efforts have at least been well received.

"It turns out that such delicious tea was made by Sister Yu." Xiang Fei, who was quietly tasting it, suddenly turned her head and smiled warmly at Su Qiyu, showing her appreciation.

Su Qiyu was startled. When Concubine Xiang smiled at her in the past, she always had the feeling that there was a knife hidden in her smile, but now Concubine Xiang was indescribably awkward.

"Sister, thank you. My sister is just sharing the Queen's worries. The lily tea in my sister's cup can clear fire and moisturize the lungs. It is the best drink to relieve the heat in summer. I hope my sister likes it." Su Qiyu answered modestly, no matter what she had in private.

When it comes to grudges, words must be spoken politely and appropriately.

During this tea tasting, Su Qiyu helped the queen a lot and personally prepared scented tea for the sisters in the harem. The queen was very satisfied with her efforts.

Xiang Fei continued to drink tea and did not continue the topic, but Su Qiyu was a little uneasy. Such Xiang Fei was much more dangerous than her usual arrogance.

"Sister is really a good helper for the empress." Concubine Wan's sarcastic laughter came again. She would never miss any opportunity to ridicule Su Qiyu. Then she glanced at the queen and said: "No wonder the emperor is

Let my sister live in the Cheng'en Palace. Throughout the ages, how could an emperor and his concubine live in the same palace? If my sister does this, isn't she taking advantage of the emperor's favor? Aren't the sisters in our harem just used as decoration?"

The resentment in her words was hard to get rid of, and one could tell that it had been pent up for a long time. I am afraid that Concubine Wan had been thinking about these words since she moved into Cheng'en Palace. It happened that the queen had been studying scented tea, and she endured her anger until today.

The sisters all gathered together before they said these shocking words, making Su Qiyu a public enemy of the harem.

Su Qiyu took a peek at the queen, and saw that the queen's smiling face suddenly dropped.

The cup in her hand was placed heavily on the coffee table, and the clattering sound made Su Qiyu's heart tremble. She knew that the queen would know about this sooner or later, and then brainwashed her with some big principles.

"I have never heard the emperor mention this matter. Concubine Wan, please don't belittle yourself." The queen looked at Concubine Wan and scolded her. Because of the scented tea, the queen liked Su Qiyu very much. She also knew that Concubine Wan liked to talk nonsense.

language, so she chose to favor Su Qiyu.

Concubine Wan did not expect that the queen would defend Su Qiyu, and said angrily: "My dear, my concubine's words are true. All the sisters in the harem can help me testify."

After saying this, she asked for help and looked at Concubine Li next to her and Concubine Xiang across from her, but they remained silent. Concubine Wan was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

Concubine Li and Concubine Xiang will never step into this muddy water. Anyway, they are just waiting to become fishermen and reap the benefits.

The Queen understood clearly and scolded Concubine Wan even more severely. "Concubine Wan, I appreciate your seniority. I don't want to hear such nonsense in the future."

The mute Concubine Wan ate coptis and could only stare and get angry at Su Qiyu.

Although Su Qiyu was thankful, she didn't feel any sense of schadenfreude. After all, paper can't cover the fire. The queen will know it sooner or later. Therefore, she stood up and planned to confess to avoid being told the truth.

"Empress, this matter..."
