Cats are fed by caring people, and cats can hide many things, such as bugs and powder.
Butterflies... butterflies also have powder on them!
The black cat fell outside the tray put down by the little eunuch, and the dust flew into the wine pot. Ye Changzai was startled by the black cat that jumped down, and the powder fell into the cup. She drank to calm down her shock.
All this was not enough to make the emperor and Ye Changzai's medicine take effect, because the imperial doctor verified that the wine was not poisonous.
Butterflies are not poisonous, and wine is not poisonous, but so many coincidences come together, which is quite strange in itself.
The timing of the black cat's appearance was also coincidental.
The person who was frightened by the black cat was Ye Changzai, who had an affair with the emperor.
etc!
There was also the handkerchief Zhang Meiren lent to Ye Changzai to wipe his mouth.
Ye Changzai said that the scent was very unique and she liked it very much, but Zhang Meiren said that it was just an ordinary handkerchief wrapped with candied fruit, not a floral scent.
Could it be Beauty Zhang?
Jiang Xinyue had only been in the palace for a short time, so she didn't know much about many of the not-so-prominent concubines in the palace.
She nodded: "Go and invite Concubine Jiang, and tell her that I have cooked some rare delicacies here, and invite her to have lunch with me."
The crisis of Jiang Xinyan's marriage has been resolved. Pei Zhishuo was bitten by the poisonous scorpion released by Jiang Xinyue. Although it was not fatal, he would never be humane again.
The scorpion itself is not highly poisonous, but Jiang Xinyue applied the anti-toxic medicine prepared by Dr. Yan on the stinging tail of the scorpion.
There was no need to marry a disciple, so Jiang Xinyan returned to the Jiang family's residence and stayed with her two cousins to prevent others from speculating that she was a gift prepared by her sister for the emperor.
"You said that the Imperial Concubine invited Concubine Jiang to dine with her?"
The emperor stopped the imperial pen in his hand, looked at the sick Wang Dequan, and asked tentatively: "Isn't anyone here to invite me?"
Wang Dequan rubbed his sore lower back and said in the emperor's expectant eyes: "Yes, there are. Liu Gui and Cheng Jieyu from Lanyue Pavilion, and Zhang Ronghua from Qingliang Pavilion are all here. Are you going, Your Majesty?"
ill!
The emperor glared at him and went back to correcting the memorial with a sullen face.
Wang Dequan was involved in traditional Chinese medicine last time. After the imperial doctor used medicine to untie him, he lay in bed for three days before he could get off the ground. His lower back also continued to hurt.
After he got up, he felt that his body was not as good as before. Fortunately, the emperor remembered his old feelings and did not blame him for being clumsy. He now scolded the person who had drugged him thousands of times in his heart every day.
After listening to Jiang Xinyue's description, Jiang Guibi answered for her: "Zhang Meiren was drafted into the palace five years ago. She seems to be from Jingzhou. The local government recommended her to the palace because of her beauty. I heard that she was an orphan. Because of her Her life experience is unknown and she has not been favored so far, she is just a little beauty."
After saying that, Jiang Guifei winked again: "As you know, my empress, our emperor has that kind of temperament. No matter how good-looking someone is, he will not look twice at her. Not everyone is an empress." you."
Concubine Meicheng is like this, that is an exception.
The moment she sheds a tear, the emperor would like to pluck the moon from the sky and give it to her, let alone the mere title of queen.
Jiang Xinyue could only say that since the cold palace came out, Jiang Guibin seemed to have turned on her filter to the maximum.
"What about the fragrance on the veil?"
She only cares about this: "What flowers are used to pickle the flower-flavored dates? Why does Zhang Meiren say the fragrance is unique?"
Jiang Guifei frowned and thought for a while: "I can't guess it just by listening like this, but if I can get the handkerchief and smell it, I can basically tell."
She is not bragging, but with her nose, if she inherited the incense-making family's business from her mother's family, she would become the most outstanding incense maker in the Great Yan Dynasty.
In the past, the emperor loved her very much and praised her more than once for her pleasant fragrance and that she was the most fragrant and smelling flower in the imperial garden.
But it is a pity that after the imperial concubine entered the palace, the emperor seemed to have lost his sense of smell and could no longer smell the priceless fragrance of flowers on her body.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
She felt that it was quite nice now that she didn't have to look at people's faces or fight for favor, and could still appreciate the peerless beauty of the imperial concubine every day.
To be honest, she was willing to become Concubine Li's pawn because of Concubine Li's unrivaled beauty in the harem.
She is a very discerning person.
"It's not difficult either."
Jiang Xinyue used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for her: "Eat first. After dinner, I will invite all the concubines to come for afternoon tea in Baiyuan Garden."
The term afternoon tea was also known to the palace people from the imperial concubine.
Come and drink tea in the afternoon, isn’t it afternoon tea?
"She also invited all the concubines to have afternoon tea?"
The chopsticks that Emperor Xuanwu was eating were almost broken by him, and he gritted his teeth and said: "She has time to invite Concubine Jiang to dinner, and she has time to invite Concubine Jiang to tea, but she just doesn't come to see me or invite me, right?"
"That's right!" Tang Shiliang frowned in disapproval: "The Imperial Concubine has gone too far."
"you shut up!"
No matter how much he goes too far, only he can scold him. Emperor Xuanwu would feel offended if someone said something bad about Jiang Xinyue.
Tang Shiliang held back his laughter and served the emperor a meal: "The emperor misses the imperial concubine, why don't you go directly to Baiyuan Garden? Is there any place in this summer palace that you can't go to? Besides, empress Cheng Jieyu has also been invited. , will not be discovered.”
Cheng Jieyu has been favored recently, and others will only think that the emperor is looking for Cheng Jieyu.
The emperor thought so, and started eating a little faster.
Wang Dequan looked at the emperor and then at Tang Shiliang. He didn't know if it was his imagination. It seemed that after he recovered from his illness, the emperor and Tang Shiliang became much closer.
He had served the emperor for half his life, but he did not dare to make such jokes with the emperor, but that boy Shiliang did.
And the emperor didn't seem angry.
After serving the emperor's meal and clearing the table, you have to make tea for the emperor.
Wang Dequan shook the whisk in his hand: "Shiliang, I haven't made tea for the emperor for several days. Please make the tea for me today!"
Tang Shiliang raised his submissive eyebrows, glanced at his godfather, and then smiled: "The tea made by my godfather has always been the most suitable for the emperor's taste. My son's tea making skills were not taught by my godfather. ?"
Having said that, Tang Shiliang obediently followed Wang Dequan to the tea room.
Although the emperor has all the wealth and the best things in the world, only Wang Dequan knows that the emperor's favorite tea is not the precious Jingua Tribute Tea, Taiping Houkui, or Wuyishan Dahongpao.
But the green snow bud tree tea is not as famous as the first three. After hundreds of years, this tea is still full of spirit and shape, protected by clouds and mist, nourished by spring dew, and has excellent color and fragrance.
Wang Dequan only taught this secret to his godson Tang Shiliang.
The right water temperature brings out the aroma, color, temperature and taste of the tea, which is the kind most suitable for the emperor.
Wang Dequan smiled slightly: "It seems that you have learned all the skills of godfather."
Therefore, his promotion is no longer needed.
