C22 Tea-making

Gu Qingli said: "Your highness should rest first, after tomorrow, your symptoms will be better. She could use acupuncture to ease his pain, but she was determined to make him suffer a little more.

Walking out of the courtyard, Gu Qingli felt a burst of pride in her heart. The night's pain was something that Xiao Yixiu would suffer, she had merely borrowed Luo Yun's hand to give him a small punishment. He thought that the early stage of bezoar overdose was cold sweat and palpitations, and after a while, it would still be possible ? When she thought about Xiao Yixiu running towards the latrine all night, she could not help but laugh out loud.

But she had more important things to do.

Madame Jia was walking alone under the moonlight, feeling apprehensive when her vision suddenly turned black. She looked up in shock and realized that it was only the Ghost Doctor blocking the moonlight in front of her.

"Miss Li Yue ?"

Gu Qingli said indifferently: "Tonight, I saved you, do you know why I sold you this favor?"

Madame Jia was stunned.

"Do you really think that bowl of medicine is okay?"

Shocked, Madame Jia immediately kneeled down. "This humble one knows how gracious this young lady is in saving my life."

Gu Qingli snorted: "Since you know, then you should also know who is trying to harm you?"

Madame Jia pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head: "That Miss Lo, does he also want to enter the Duke Palace?"

Gu Qingli nodded in approval. It seemed that she wasn't very clear about the relationship between the Imperial Conscubine Lan and him.

"But Prince believes in her. I can hide from you for the first time, but not from you for the fifteenth time. I hope that Miss Li Yue can point out a path for me."

Gu Qingli patted her shoulder.

On the night that the Madame Jia entered the palace, although there were no guests attending a banquet, there were still a few tables set up with excitement. Most likely, those who were invited were those who had close relations with Xiao Yixiu.

The mansion was decorated with lanterns and decorations. The new room was decorated a deep crimson color. After all, it was not the main room, so it could only be considered as a small celebration.

Li Yue refused to attend the party because he was not used to such an occasion.

Gu Qingli participated in the wedding as the main wife of the wife, because it was impossible for one to avoid a newcomer kneeling down in worship. She secretly observed and realized that apart from a few who appeared to be civil servants, most of them were martial generals.

Even if these people had changed into civilian clothes, their rough demeanor and unyielding appearance were completely different from those of civil servants.

Xin Ziyao had been confined for a period of time and was released today. Since he was a lateral concubine, how could he not attend?

She sat below Gu Qingli, and below her were a few other wives. Gu Qingli had heard from Nuan Xiang that they were all sent to the same place as Xin Ziyao, and although they were given different ranks and ranks based on appearance and background, they were basically all under Xin Ziyao's orders. A while ago, Xin Ziyao suffered a miscarriage and his health was not very good.

Amidst the joyous music, Jia Biruo who was dressed in a dark auspicious attire entered from the side door. Under the support of the matchmaker, he got off the palanquin and leisurely walked into the wedding hall.

Since the palace was accepting concubines, naturally, the imperial concubine wouldn't come. There was no need to bow to heaven and earth or to the imperial concubine.

Xiao Yixiu wore a set of profound silk clothes, his face was warm like jade, and his actions were elegant and expensive. Luo Yun looked at him, as if he had become infatuated with him.

Gu Qingli saw that he was bowing to Jia Biruo, and the expression in his eyes became slightly gloomy. However, his face had a warm smile, and couldn't help but think that this person had played a good role, and even if the guests in the hall had people from the Imperial Conscubine Lan s, they would not be able to see that there was anything wrong with him.

After picking up the lid, Jia Biruo smiled seductively and carried the tea cup in the maidservant's tray, bowing to the current lateral concubine and his wife who just entered the sect.

Gu Qingli did not make it difficult for her. He smoothly took the cup and drank a mouthful, then gave her some Jadeite Jadeite Jadeite Scratch.

But angrily, Xiao Yixiu did not act like he was teasing her. Instead, he stuck the reward into Jia Biruo's head and just sat there, watching.

lateral concubine only bowed slightly as Jia Biruo bent his knees and brought the tea Gu over.

Xin Ziyao laughed as he lifted the cover of the tea Gu, his eyes slipping as he said: "Yo, why are there so many things here like red dates, walnuts, and raisins? And lotus seeds, medlar, cinnamon ? This lateral concubine has never respected this tea before, may I ask Royal Consort, what kind of tea is this, and what is the meaning of this? "

Her face showed some arrogance, as if she was bragging that she had entered the palace early in the morning and had not even tasted Chief Imperial Concubine's tea before. Actually, this Eight Treasures Tea was very ordinary, how could she have not seen it before?

Gu Qingli smiled faintly, "This is the Eight Treasures Tea, it is used to nourish the Yin to moisten the lungs. A newcomer will enter the mansion to offer this tea, which means Eight Treasures, many sons, and riches. When Zi Yao entered the palace, this wangfei had not yet gotten married. According to etiquette, they should meet again on the second day. However, since Zi Yao did not recognize this tea, she would naturally not know about royal etiquette.

With a single sentence, he dissolved Xin Ziyao's arrogance and retorted with the crime of "not knowing etiquette".

Xin Ziyao's expression was a little unsightly, she took another glance at the tea Gu and spoke with a sinister tone: "Since it's the Eight Treasures Tea, then I have to think of a good idea, why are these dates so small ? Wouldn't that be damaging the good fortune of having an early son? "

Then, he glanced at the tea Gu on the table that Gu Qingli had placed on the table, and sneered: So it turns out that there's something special about the Eight Treasures Tea, the one given to Chief Imperial Concubine is a little bigger than the lateral concubine's dried fruit!

Gu Qingli lowered his eyes and looked, it seemed that there was something different about it, but these teas could not have been personally prepared by Jia Biruo in the kitchen, it was clearly borrowed by Xin Ziyao, and wanted to make Jia Biruo look good.

When one looked at Jia Biruo's trembling legs again, they would know that this half a salute was actually half a squat in midair. It would be even harder than kneeling for a long time. After a while, she stealthily used her ring finger to support her index finger.

The tea Gu had no ears, and the bone porcelain was thin. It had been hot and transparent for a long time, it was strange that the bone porcelain was not hot enough to make Jia Biruo's hands tremble. However, in front of all the guests in the hall, she was a lady from a noble family. She was very well-mannered and could only grit her teeth and endure.

The ghost-like person naturally saw through Xiao Yixiu's trick, he pretended not to see it, and used Xin Ziyao's hand to make things difficult for Jia Biruo.

Gu Qingli thought for a while, maybe he was the one doing the worst in the tea, borrowing a knife to kill people was his favorite thing to do. Causing Xin Ziyao to fight with Jia Biruo, wasn't that equivalent to a secret battle between the Queen and the Imperial Conscubine Lan?

"I'm afraid that this lateral concubine will not have much luck with this tea. As soon as a newcomer enters the door, he immediately gave me, an old man, a look!" Xin Ziyao looked at Xiao Yixiu bitterly. "My prince, if you don't like me, why don't you send me away so that I won't be bullied!"

's hair stood on end when she said this, but Xiao Yixiu's tone was gentle and soothing, "lateral concubine, don't feel sad. It must be because the people from kitchen were not able to handle this matter, I ordered them to do it again."

Xin Ziyao still had a wronged expression on his face. He neither accepted the bowl nor allowed Jia Biruo to put it down, he only cared about acting coquettishly with Xiao Yixiu and seemed to have forgotten to let Jia Biruo get up first.
