Zhuang Xiyan entered the palace in the morning, and was serving the Queen Mother for lunch at the moment, Jiang Yu had received the gift of the Queen Mother and sat with her.
Although it is not the first time that Jiang Yu has eaten with the Queen Mother, she is cautious everywhere, clinging to the Queen Mother, and only eating some of the nearest ones, so she set up dishes and chopsticks to serve the Queen Mother.
Jiang Yuji and Zhuang Xiyan served soup with vegetables left and right, the Queen Mother was a little happy today, she loved Zhuang Xiyan very much, so she ate a few more chopsticks than before.
On that day, after Zhuang Wanjiao was harshly taught a lesson by Zhuang Hong, she did not eat a drop of rice for three days, did not get a drop of water, and almost starved to death. Zhuang Xiyan secretly sent two pieces of pastry, and she picked up a life.
Since then, Zhuang Hong pardoned Zhuang Wanjiao and thought about it behind closed doors, and also invited her to teach a teacher to study classics such as female rings.
Zhuang Wanjiao didn't dare to disobey, but she studied for a few days, and then she had no intention of learning again, wasting time with the master, and scolded the master, and the master was angry and walked away seven or eight.
Zhuang Hongjiao is another lesson, Zhuang Wanjiao has pretended to mix up every day without fighting or making trouble, but she has never stepped out of the door, she loves to talk, and the master who is annoying all day long is miserable, so she almost hit her head and died.
Zhuang Hongyu thought about the empress dowager's estrangement from the Zhuang family because of Zhuang Wanjiao's disrespectful words, and had the intention to send Zhuang Xiyan into the palace as a link to ease the relationship.
However, the reason why Zhuang Xiyan was willing to enter the palace was because of Min Tian, she only knew that Min Tian had another garden outside the palace, and inquired about it, but she never saw Min Tian.
I heard that Min Tian was in the palace all day and rarely went out, so he couldn't wait to enter the palace.
The Queen Mother saw Zhuang Xiyan's cloth and waited, everything was done in place, carefully, and her heart was happy.
Jiang Yuji also has a good impression of Zhuang Xiyan, after all, a beauty like her, she can take care of people so considerately, and there is not much in the slightest.
The women who have entered the palace, but who have a little family background and beauty, which one is not a person who is arrogant and arrogant, and who steps on the low and praises the high.
Women with prominent family backgrounds are not easy to get along with, either mocking and sarcastic, or rejecting people thousands of miles away, and no one looks down on them.
Of course, Meng Lin is not among them, Meng Lin treats Jiang Yu really well.
Zhuang Xiyan handed over the golden spoon to spit mouthwash for the Queen Mother, and her movements were smooth and very skillful. The Queen Mother glanced at her and was secretly satisfied.
"Queen Mother, slow down." After the Queen Mother rinsed her mouth and was about to get up, Zhuang Xiyan had already stretched out her right arm to help the Queen Mother.
Jiang Yuji had to admire Zhuang Xiyan's ability to serve people, she was so thorough and soft-spoken, how could the Queen Mother not like it.
"Xiyan, there are no outsiders in this Spring and Autumn Palace, so I won't talk about those many rules in the future, you and your concubine will have dinner with your family. Look at this table of dishes, where can the mourning family finish eating, otherwise it would be a pity to waste it. Although last year, although the heavens opened their eyes, there was enough rain in the later period, and the harvest was quite abundant after the autumn, but the mourning family still had to be more frugal. The Queen Mother walked as she spoke.
She was going to walk to the mahogany carved Ruyi moire soft chair.
"The Queen Mother loves Xi Yan so much, Xi Yan is afraid, Xi Yan does not dare to trespass, if the Queen Mother feels that it is a waste, Xi Yan will eat again after the Queen Mother finishes eating, after withdrawing it." Zhuang Xiyan smiled, his tone was gentle and moderate, and he was respectful.
Jiang Yuji had already instructed Xianglan to prepare refreshments and fruits after the meal, and at this moment, Chun Sui and three of the palace maids were bringing them in.
"Xiyan really knows how to be polite and humble, so that the mourning family loves it very much, so it's up to you." The Queen Mother was not reluctant to be solemn.
The Queen Mother's reward is a great grace, Zhuang Xiyan can say this, not against the Queen Mother's wishes, but also put himself in the right position, it is really Bingxue smart, Jiang Yuji secretly admired.
If you are someone else, you are afraid that you will be busy kowtowing and thanking you. In the past, the Queen Mother taught Jiang Yuji to eat together, she found an excuse to shirk it, today is Zhuang Xiyan, of course she can't shirk it, she has to teach Zhuang Xiyan to see her position in the Queen Mother's mind.
Zhuang Xiyan entered the palace this time, and Jiang Yu thought that he was here for Mintian. If she insists on having a result with Mintian, she has to ask for the support of the Queen Mother.
That's why she worked so hard to please the Queen Mother, and the so-called courtesy was solemn.
"Thank you for the Queen Mother's praise, Xi Yan is ashamed and dare not be, Xi Yan should have come to the palace to serve the Queen Mother earlier, but there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and Xi Yan's mother is not in the house, Xi Yan is big, and I have to plan more and take care of it, I am only a year or two late to enter the palace, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not be blamed. My father has always told us sisters to go into the palace more often to see the Queen Mother, and I am really ashamed that I only entered the palace today. ”
Zhuang Xiyan helped the Queen Mother sit firmly, took the tea cup in Chunsui's hand, lifted the lid and took a look, wiped the temperature with the cup with her hand, and gently blew a few small mouthfuls and said, "Xiyan doesn't know the Queen Mother's usual tea drinking habits, Xiyan looks at the water is not very warm, the Queen Mother tastes whether it is hot, be careful." ”
"Good, good, good." The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and the more she saw Zhuang Xiyan today, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and said in her heart that it would be good if Zhuang Xiyan was her own granddaughter.
Zhuang Xiyan saw Jiang Yuji standing aside, silent, and said with a smile, "The princess is tired, do you want to drink tea to relieve fatigue?" Xiyan recently learned tea art, do you want to try it? ”
Jiang Yuji said in her heart, she really came prepared, the Queen Mother has always liked to eat tea, so she learned the art of tea, and she didn't dare to rashly dedicate it to the Queen Mother, take Jiang Feiji to start, and really teach Jiang Yuji to look at her a few times.
If Jiang Yuji said that her tea art was good and praised her, the Queen Mother would have to taste it, and this trick was really a wonderful trick to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
When she said this, she must have a firm grasp of her tea art, how could Jiang Yuji brush her mind, Ying Ying smiled and said, "Okay, then you must try your cousin's craftsmanship, and you can ask for advice." ”
Zhuang Xiyan smiled and said, "It's not a craft, and I ask the princess to evaluate one or two." ”
After that, Zhuang Xiyan ordered a personal maid to take the tea tray she brought into the palace.
Not long after, the fragrance of tea brewed by Zhuang Xiyan filled the Spring and Autumn Palace, and the Queen Mother praised again and again, and without waiting for Jiang Feiji to drink it, she clamored for a share.
During this period, Zhuang Xiyan's kung fu of making tea is not only skillful, but also smooth, and it is also very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yuji took a sip of tea and said, "The tea brewed by my cousin is really different, light and fragrant, fragrant between the teeth, and very moist in the throat." My cousin must teach Yu Ji to learn this tea art. ”
Zhuang Xi smiled lightly and said, "The princess is embarrassed by this, no matter how ordinary it is, it can't be on the stage, and it is up today, so that she can show off one or two with the princess, if the princess does not dislike it, she should explain one or two to the princess." ”
Jiang Feiji and the Queen Mother praised it again, Zhuang Xiyan smiled even more, and said some modest words again and again, looking happy.
Since Zhuang Xiyan learned the art of tea to please the queen mother, Jiang Yu did not dare to fall behind, and immediately began to learn the way of tea art.
Although Zhuang Xiyan's tea is fragrant, the taste is inevitably stronger, Jiang Yu knows that the Queen Mother doesn't like strong tea, of course she has to study better tea to overpower Zhuang Xiyan.
