Imperial Concubine Chen tilted his head and stared at Song Qingyu, rebuking him: "Qingyu, if you don't know how to cook, then you shouldn't cook. You should know that this is a new tribute, all of this is here, you are wasting it."

While reprimanding her, she slammed the teacup on the table. The tea splashed all over the place and was unexpectedly still fragrant.

Everyone looked, it was truly terrible, but seeing that the Imperial Concubine Chen was angry, no one dared to speak up. Mu Xin was already angry about why Song Qingyu had such a good marriage, and was actually not bad looking.

With great difficulty, she grabbed the opportunity and lightly frowned, "Imperial Concubine Chen, big sister Song is after all from the countryside, it's understandable that you don't understand this."

Imperial Concubine Chen coldly snorted, "Do you not understand? Didn't I remind you before? This good tea is ruined. "

When one of them spoke, the others immediately echoed his words. One of them cried out in alarm, "Ah! Sister Song, it seems that you steeped an entire pot?"

Imperial Concubine Chen's heart was at ease, but he deliberately looked surprised, as if his heart was aching.

Song Qingyu immediately walked out of his seat and took a quick glance at the six misses. In his previous life, he was the one who had faked his face to be a hypocrite, as well as Mu Xin's cousin who was bullying him while he was down.

Song Qingyu slowly kneeled down. "It's Qing Yu's fault. Qing Yu thought ?"

"Qing Yu, you only know how to put on airs. This is not enough." Imperial Concubine Chen sighed.

"Qing Yu knows his wrongs. Imperial Concubine Chen, please punish me. " Song Qingyu kneeled on the ground and bowed.

"Go back and transcribe the Female Commandment a hundred times over. I have to reflect on myself. You are not allowed to leave the manor until one month later. "

A month passed just in time for the New Year. Imperial Concubine Chen meant for Song Qingyu to not participate in this New Year's Eve's Palace Feast.

Mu Xin was extremely pleased with himself. She was not on par with Song Yiyan's beauty or power. But a little country girl could not hide her beauty.

Song Qingyu lowered his head in grievance, "Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Chen, Qing Yu really didn't do it on purpose. Although the tea that Qing Yu brewed wasn't as much as the ones these big sisters had learned, Qing Yu did put in a lot of effort. "

"With your heart?" Imperial Concubine Chen sighed lightly.

The empress dowager wasn't too happy either, thinking to herself, As expected, those who came from the countryside rarely see them. However, this fragrance was quite peculiar. Unconsciously, he took a glance inside the teacup and saw that it was slowly moving. He felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Pour another cup."

The empress dowager suddenly spoke.

The Imperial Concubine Chen was shocked and advised, "Empress Dowager, this is the first time Qingyu has entered the palace and doesn't understand etiquette. It's your concubine's fault that you haven't thought it through, since you've already been punished. "Don't worry about it."

"Filling it again."

The empress dowager's voice sank as the Imperial Concubine Chen glanced over, not knowing what the empress dowager's action meant. Imperial Concubine Chen had been rolling in the palace for so many years, he suddenly thought of something. Could it be that Song Qingyu had left some tricks just now?

Song Qingyu slowly poured another cup and handed it over.

When the palace maid received the cup of tea, Imperial Concubine Chen first opened the lid of the cup.

Ye Zichen let out a deep breath, then returned to his ghostly appearance.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, chenqie will definitely punish her well."

The empress dowager didn't say anything. Her entire face was tense as she reached out to take the teacup.

As the cup swayed, the hot air caressed its surface. The tea leaves were actually moving slowly. What used to be a ball of something, was now slowly fading into an azure color.

The color of the tea turned dark.

The tea leaves rippled and slowly started to bloom.

The palace maid's eyes were sharp. "Empress Dowager, what's going on?"

The empress dowager was also surprised when she saw this. She raised her hand, indicating that she didn't want to speak. Afraid of disturbing the change.

Imperial Concubine Chen looked over. In the cup, a flower slowly bloomed. The flower continued to fluctuate and in the end, the word "Blessed" appeared.

It wasn't easy for flowers to bloom like this. There were actually words.

Generally speaking, whether it was the former or the latter, this tea brewing technique was already very outstanding.

This was the second time Her Majesty had seen such skill, the first being Nanyao's ambassador.

At that time, the empress dowager had also lost this match and lost her national prestige. She had blamed herself for a long time, but she couldn't help but praise her opponent.

But now, such an extraordinary person had also appeared in the Dasu. This made the many years of anxiety in the empress dowager's heart suddenly loosen.

In the end, he took a sip of tea. The fragrance seeped into his nose, and the bitterness in his seat faded away. Sweet and sweet spread throughout his body.

After a long time, the empress dowager finally remembered and couldn't help but praise, "Good, good, good. "Where did you learn this skill, Qing Yu?"

Everyone could see that the empress dowager was overjoyed, but they didn't know what had happened.

"To reply the empress dowager, I learned it from a wandering master I met by chance. I didn't learn it well." This time, Qing Yu was wrong to disappoint the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Chen. "

"No, you have made This Dowager very happy. If one were to say that you are not skilled enough, the people seated here do not dare to treat you like one at all. "Fa Ni, send Qing Yu a jade ruyi from my early years and a tea leaf from the West Lake Longjing, which I recently paid my tribute to."

Mu Xin was shocked, what exactly happened!

Song Qingyu pretended to be flattered, "Qingyu doesn't dare."

"You can bear it," the empress dowager's voice was sonorous as she continued. "Qingyu, in the future, you'll have to come to the palace often and make tea for This Dowager. How about that?"

"Thank you, empress dowager, for your grace."

Song Qingyu kowtowed in joy.

Seeing the empress dowager's loving look, Mu Xin's face turned green and she clenched her sleeves. She was obviously the most outstanding one in the past, but who would have thought that this time, all of her limelight would be snatched away by a peasant girl.

She was here, so she couldn't see what was going on above. He could only sit in his seat unwillingly. How could Mu Xin's cousin Mu Peier be as calm as him?

He hurriedly looked up, but didn't see anything. He thought that the empress dowager had purposely let Song Qingyu down the steps so that he could get away from her! He blurted out anxiously, "Esteemed empress dowager, why don't you let us see whether Big Sis Song's tea is really outstanding?"

The other young misses also took advantage of this to take a look.

Her Majesty paused.

The eunuch by her side immediately scolded her. "Impudent! How can you hold your tongue over the words of the empress dowager!?" "Slap!"

When her father-in-law said this, Mu Peier believed even more in his thoughts. When his clothes were pulled by Mu Xin, she did not hesitate to sweep him a cold glance.

"How presumptuous in front of the empress dowager!"

The empress dowager raised her hand, indicating that there was no need to punish them. "Servants, pour Qingyu's brewed tea out. Reward together. "Be careful and carry it over."

When one end after another passed by.

Mu Peier ferociously snatched the cup over, and with a shake of the cup, Song Qingyu's painstaking drawing of the tea was destroyed. Mu Peier opened it and stared, "Country girl, it's exactly like this."

"Pyle, stop it."

With much difficulty, Mu Xin managed to pull Mu Peier back, and then indicated for her to see the wondrous scene in the cup. Mu Peier's eyes flashed a look of shock, followed by a flash of ruthlessness.

"This... This... That's impossible. Song Qingyu must have cheated. "

Everyone praised him endlessly. Her Majesty was also very satisfied. Imperial Concubine Chen could only smile.

The empress dowager and Song Qingyu were on good terms with each other at first sight, but it was Imperial Concubine Chen who was in the way to set up a feast. After tasting the tea later, they could only leave.

After the empress dowager left, the Imperial Concubine Chen dismissed the crowd and led Song Qingyu to the side hall.
