Concubine Ning's temperament is similar to her title, she is peaceful and peaceful, and she is a woman who is very easy to make people feel at ease.
Now she is standing on the cusp of the limelight, although she has to guard against being framed by someone with a heart, but no one dares to be rude to her on the bright side. This kind of scene that everyone treats with care makes it extremely easy to feel spiritual satisfaction, and it is no wonder that such women try their best to favor the harem, because power, luxury, and vanity must be built on the emperor's favor.
"Concubine Ning's tea is always more flavorful," Concubine Xiangui smiled and put down the tea cup, "Even the same tea leaves in my palace can't brew this flavor."
"That's the truth, the emperor always wants to praise the tea from Sister Ning Concubine when he comes to my palace to drink tea," Concubine Rou smiled and said, "When I drink it today, I really think the tea in my palace is shabu-shabu water. ."
"The words of Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Rou make me have nowhere to hide my face." Although Concubine Ning's voice was not a jade plate, it gave people an indescribable sense of comfort. As a woman, Zhuang Luoyan couldn't help but feel a little bit of love.
Affinity is a weapon in the harem.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip, the taste was very light but with a long plum fragrance, which reminded her that some time-travel heroines in the past life attracted the attention of some important people by making good tea. Thinking of this, she felt that she was incompetent. In terms of talent, she could not recite poetry, or draw, or even make tea, or sing or dance. She couldn't even memorize the thirty-six strategies in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". How many. Emotionally, it didn't cause any man to be unable to eat, swallow, sleep, or sleep. It really didn't meet the minimum standards of the Transmigration Clan.
"What is Zhao Xianrong thinking, so fascinated?" Concubine Rou tilted her head slightly to look at Zhuang Luoyan, this angle made her seem a little condescending.
"I just thought that when the emperor came to the concubine's place, he also disliked the tea from the concubine and concubine. The concubine didn't know the reason, but now I finally know." Zhuang Luoyan took another sip reluctantly. The concubine has been raised so high, a layman like a concubine can't make good tea for the emperor."
"Zhaoxian Rong Niangniang is polite, who doesn't know that the food made in your palace's small kitchen is extremely delicious," Yangui Concubine was embarrassed by the previous promotions, so she faced entering the palace later than herself, but already Xianrong's Zhuang Luoyan was very upset, "Even if you don't have good tea there, there is still delicious food to keep the emperor's stomach."
Is she insinuating that she relied on food to keep the emperor's stomach, and not for other reasons
Zhuang Luoyan looked back lazily at Concubine Yangui, "Concubine Yangui likes the food I eat there. If you have free time in the future, will you dine with me?"
You laugh at me relying on food to keep the emperor, I laugh at you don't even have food, Zhuang Luoyan has never been kind and noble when attacking his opponents.
"Thank you Empress Xianrong for her kindness, concubines and concubines don't want to eat too much," Yangui Concubine smiled stiffly, "It's better not to disturb the concubine."
Concubine Shu Gui leisurely watched several women push each other, blowing the tea stems in the tea, and after Yan Gui Concubine finished speaking, she slowly said: "It seems that Yan Gui Concubine still likes food, otherwise why would you remember it? It's in the small kitchen in Zhao Xianrong's palace." She put down the tea cup gently, and she glanced at it, "Even the emperor said that Zhao Xianrong likes food, and your appetite is naturally no better than Zhao Xianrong. ."
Concubine Xian Gui's brows moved, Concubine Shu's words really didn't give Yan Gui Concubine face, although this Concubine Yan Gui came from the old way of learning Concubine Shu's dance skills, but it's a pity that it's hard to draw skin and bones, and imitating some things is not imitating. Come here, so Su Ruizi is Concubine Shu, and she, Xue Zhenyao, is just a concubine.
No wonder Concubine Shu is rude in her words, no one likes someone to climb up on their own way, this concubine Yangui is ignorant at this time, and she wants to come out and talk a lot, so it's no wonder that others don't give her face.
After Concubine Shu's remarks, Yangui's concubine's face became even more ugly. Concubine Shu's remarks pointed at her that she was no match for Zhuang Luoyan, but she couldn't refute it.
"This is actually not a rare thing, but it was made by picking the plum blossoms that bloom when it snows. It's also thanks to you that there is something in the sky and nothing in the ground." Ning Fei's soft voice sounded in the room, "Speak up. Go, it's just a novelty."
Concubine Ning succeeded in dispelling the awkward atmosphere in the house. Zhuang Luoyan didn't realize that he was also one of the awkward atmosphere, and took another sip of tea, "The concubine is a layman who doesn't know how to drink tea, but I just think this tea is very good. drink."
"Looking at the way Niangniang is drinking tea, the concubine also believes that you won't be able to taste tea," Jiang Guibi smiled and covered the corner of her mouth. "Concubine is rude, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me."
"I know you want to talk about the allusion to the cow chewing peony," Zhuang Luoyan smiled and shook his head, "For me, the great truth is that Ningfei Niangniang's tea is delicious, isn't it?"
"The taste in tea and the character in the fragrance of plum, how can it be so easy to taste," Xu Zhaorong smiled lightly, "Ms. Xianrong should be sincere."
If there is a woman in the middle who can't stand Zhuang Luoyan, and Xu Zhaorong ranks second, no one can rank first. This kind of pretentiousness is really sour. The joke in the plum garden a few days ago is this only one. Afraid to forget again.
"Being honest also has the benefit of being honest. It's only when you are so sad all day that you feel hypocritical," Concubine Rou sneered, "If we are lay people, we naturally don't understand the character, and it's no wonder that Xu Zhaorong is so hot in the sun. Enjoy the plum blossom in the severe cold."
When Concubine Rou spoke, there was a burst of light laughter in the room, thinking that everyone had not forgotten about Xu Zhaorong's jokes in the previous days, so everyone couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Xu Zhaorong's ugly face, Zhuang Luoyan sighed in his heart, someone who is hypocritical will not accept it, and someone with a temperament like Concubine Rou can't stand Xu Zhaorong's arrogance, so what she said is true. enough damage.
Concubine Shu Gui smiled and shook her head, looking at Zhuang Luoyan with a joking attitude: "It can be seen that you have also failed the plum blossoms that the emperor gave you, fortunately you will not make this plum blossom tea, otherwise those poor plum blossoms will still enter your stomach."
"Concubine Shu Gui must save some face for the concubine, otherwise the concubine will be ashamed to stay here." Zhuang Luoyan blushed and held up a teacup to hide her shyness.
"I think Concubine Ai is very reasonable. Fortunately, those poor plum blossoms didn't enter your stomach."
As soon as the emperor's voice came out, all the girls got up and greeted each other.
Feng Jin stretched out his hand to help Concubine Shu, then turned to look at Zhuang Luoyan, "You can drink less, otherwise I will feel sorry for Concubine Ning about this good tea."
Concubine Shu Gui also joked a few words, then glanced at the woman in red who was following behind the emperor, "Isn't this a talented person?" She looked up and down, "The Empress is really discerning, this red dress is worn on a precious person. , couldn't be more suitable."
"My concubine, thank you for your reputation," Zhen Cairen glanced at the concubines and concubines in the room with admiration. These are all the masters of some status in the harem. She thinks that she will be like these women soon, and let the servants of the harem be careful. Waiting, not like now, when you see a concubine with a little bit of rank, you have to kneel down to greet you.
"I just happened to meet a talented person in the imperial garden. I heard that Concubine Ning invited the concubines to drink tea, so I came to see." Feng Jin sat down at the top and took the tea presented by Concubine Ning, "You all sit down, I'm not here to spoil your interest."
With you here, even if these women were half interested in tea, Zhuang Luoyan sat down in the same place, glanced at Zhencai who was sitting in the bottom seat, and remained silent.
"Just now I heard that Zhencai also made good tea, but unfortunately I haven't had better tea than Concubine Ning," Feng Jin took a sip of tea and turned to look at Concubine Ning, "It's really good tea. It's no wonder that some laity would rather be chewed by a laughing ox and drink more peony."
"Your Majesty praised her wrongly," Ning Concubine smiled at Zhen Cairen, "Why don't you let your concubine taste Zhen Cairen's tea too."
"Well, let her brew it and try it." Feng Jin put down the tea cup and said indifferently.
When Zhen Cairen heard this, there was an undisguised joy on his face, and he got busy after salute.
Zhuang Luoyan sighed inwardly, this talented person is still simpler, just wanted to win the emperor's attention, but never thought that this was Concubine Ning's tea tasting banquet, where would she be allowed to show off her tea skills, not even the slightest humility, I really don't know if she is too confident or if she doesn't take Ning Fei seriously.
Under the eyes of all the concubines, Zhencairen made a beautiful tea-making posture, holding the purple sand quilt in her white hands, and wearing the red dress, she was indescribably bright and charming.
When the tea was presented to everyone one by one, the plum blossom tea that Ning Fei had brewed was so cold that there was no heat left.
Feng Jin took a sip and nodded approvingly, "Although it's not as clean as Concubine Ning's, it's still a bit of a taste."
Concubine Ning said with a smile, "The emperor has raised his concubine, and Zhencairen's tea is also unique."
Zhuang Luoyan took a sip. The taste of the tea was really good, but it was in the wrong place.
"The tea is almost finished, let's put these tea sets away." Feng Jin put down the tea, and did not like the tea that Zhen Cairen made.
"Yes," Zhen Cairen received the emperor's admiration. He was very happy, and hurriedly asked the maid next to him to clean up the tea set, "Luo'er, put the tea set away."
Feng Jin watched quietly as the tea set was taken away, and talked with the concubines for a while. After another incense stick, he turned his head and said to Concubine Ning, "It's not early, I should return to the palace."
The concubines and concubines got up to see them off, Feng Jin got up and took two steps, suddenly stopped and pointed at Luo'er who had returned to the house: "Jin Cairen, this palace maid is by your side, what's her name?"
Zhencai people thought that the emperor had taken a fancy to Luo'er, and although he was unwilling, he still replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, this is the maid of the concubine's side, called Luo'er."
"Which network?" Feng Jin frowned slightly.
"Going back to the emperor is a network of silk." After Zhen Cairen replied, he didn't get a response from the emperor for a long time. He couldn't help but raised his head cautiously, but only saw that there was no expression on the emperor's handsome face.
"Come here, drag this palace maid named Luo'er out and stab her to death," Feng Jin glanced at Zhencai person indifferently.
Zhen Cairen looked pale and looked at Luo'er being dragged away by Eunuch Dali.
"This tea banquet is over, it's time for this palace to return," Concubine Shu Gui left first without looking at Zhen Cairen.
Everyone left one after another, and when Zhencai left Concubine Ning's palace ignorantly, she felt cold all over her body.
"I don't even look at what I am, and I dare to use this name. I deserve to be killed by the cane. This talented person is really arrogant. Dare to let the palace maid beside me call this name, it is really unworthy of the stage."
