Chapter 78:

So Father Li wrote a statement to the emperor after accepting the emperor's handwritten letter, not saying the pitiful words that he was old and reluctant to give up his daughter, but said that he was not virtuous enough and had no son to raise Li Chengxiu as a son, so that Li Chengxiu did not look like a girl at all, with a wild temperament, poor cultivation, and a brutal, willful personality and temperament were all written to the emperor, and even told Li Chengxiu that he had beaten and sold her cousin who was molesting her to the flower boat, and the matter of a woman dressing up as a man to go to school was even more clear.

- But it's a pity that the emperor is very open-minded and thinks that these are not problems, he just takes a fancy to Li Chengxiu as his daughter-in-law, and thinks ...... Li Chengxiu's temperament is more in line with the temperament of the crown princess?

It's really "intentionally planting flowers and flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade." The emperor was not frightened, but he was given a preventive shot, and almost said to the emperor: "I made it clear to you beforehand, and you won't be very messy about me afterwards".

Therefore, although Li Chengxiu's virtues are not known to everyone, in the palace, the royal relatives in the imperial capital all know.

So, now everyone is sitting back and waiting to see the joke.

Wu Dan was also a little worried, he hadn't seen her cook decent tea in the months of 'Yangsongzhai'.

And in fact...... really stumped Li Chengxiu, she really didn't know how to cook tea.

However, she can try to make tea.

As soon as Li Chengxiu stretched out his hand, Jiusheng took out his bracers to put away the wide cuffs of the phoenix robe, and cleaned his hands with clean water for Li Chengxiu.

The water has been boiled, you just need to choose the tea set, set which tea to use, and then pour boiling water and it's OK.

"Huh?" Looking at the tea made by Li Chengxiu, the old eunuch on the side couldn't help but be surprised, but there were two kinds of tea brewed in a pair of white jade cups, and the blue and red colors and the white jade color complemented each other, but they complemented each other.

Hmph, that's impressive, right?

It's not just the old eunuch who is impressed? Who in the temple is not surprised?

Of course, some people were not convinced, saying: "The princess cooks this tea to be eye-catching, but it is a little different." ”

It was a great beauty who spoke, really beautiful, only a little worse than Li Chengxiu...... In the end, the years are not forgiving. -- Realizing this, Li Chengxiu secretly shouted that he was so lucky, he was almost squeezed into the "third place"! The current ranking is, Wudan is first, she is second, and this beauty is third......

This beauty has a goose egg face, a pair of long eyebrows into the sideburns, a pair of Danfeng eyes looking forward to shining, skin as white as jade, thin as clotted fat, red lips like fire, before moving the fragrance, looking twenty-four or five years old. Her hair is tied in a high bun with a golden phoenix treasure hairpin, a small thumb-sized ruby hangs down on the forehead, just corresponding to the eyebrow makeup, the bright purple palace dress on the body is embroidered with colored threads, gold threads draw butterflies, white fox fur seals, and the neck wears a red gold collar with a flowering shape, draped on the ground, faintly visible a golden silk silk swaying around the waist, the end of the silk silk is tied with a square white jade, such as a cloud pile cut under the skirt corners of the golden lotus, standing there quietly like flowers shining on the water, presumably the action is also as moving as a breeze blowing willows.

It is rich and powerful, graceful and luxurious!

To have such a bearing is an unusual identity.

"This is Concubine Xiao Xian." The old eunuch reminded on the side.

Oh, it turned out to be the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, the queen's cousin Concubine Xiao Xian, she looks so young, I heard that the Seventh Prince is fifteen years old...... Could it be that this Concubine Xiao Xian completed her development at the age of ten? You're in a hurry, aren't you?

is also a prince, but he asked Wu Dan to pick up the leak, and he is not to blame for his grievances.

Li Chengxiu said secretly, this is the curtain that opened her palace fight, right?

Since it's the first battle, you have to get a good win, right? You can't admit it!

Li Chengxiu's face was full of shyness, and said: "Let the mother laugh, Chengxiu is dull and can't understand the tea ceremony, and can't cook any good tea." When she was about to get married, her mother taught Cheng Xiu a few tea-style cooking, and Cheng Xiu also learned seven or eight points. It's just that Cheng Xiu thinks that tea ceremony is both a ritual and a heart, and the most important thing is 'sincerity', so Cheng Xiu doesn't want to cook the tea that has only learned seven or eight points to his father and mother, but to offer what he thinks is the best. ”

Concubine Xiao Xian snorted and sneered, "Our crown princess really has a sharp mouth. ”

didn't seem to hear Concubine Xiao Xian's sarcasm, Li Chengxiu said innocently: "Don't worry, Niangniang, you will taste the tea cooked by Chengxiu in a while." ”

……

Is this girl big-hearted or really stupid? Why can't you provoke her fire?

Concubine Xiao Xian grinded her teeth secretly, this feeling of punching the air is really not good.

"Father, please have tea." Li Chengxiu held the jade cup in front of the emperor.

The emperor took the jade cup, only to see that the white jade cup contained a pool of light green tea soup, the tea soup family of blue tea slowly stretched, a few jasmine flowers in the tea soup ups and downs, it is very good-looking.

"It looks a little bit clever." The emperor smiled, tasted it shallowly, and then was stunned, glanced at Li Chengxiu with some surprise, and then took another sip, tasted it carefully, and his eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, this tea tastes bitter at first, and the aftertaste is sweet and sweet, and the fragrance leaves teeth, which makes people feel that the Lingtai is clear." ”

Li Chengxiu said: "Bitterness is the original taste of tea, and the sweet aftertaste is because Erchen added a little honey to the tea." At this time, it is the season of spring to return to the earth and all things to recover, and the human body is also the time to relax the hair. Therefore, Erchen put a little jasmine when cooking tea, so the tea is fragrant and refreshing. ”

"Oh?" The emperor took another sip, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, the aroma is strong but fragrant but not floating, refreshing but not turbid." He glanced at another cup of tea in the brocade plate and asked Li Chengxiu: "What's so important about the queen's cup?" Serve your mother quickly, so that I can explain it quickly. ”

"Yes." Li Chengxiu hurriedly took the jade cup and knelt down in front of the queen, and respectfully said, "Please use tea for the queen mother." ”

The queen didn't embarrass Li Chengxiu, she took Li Chengxiu's tea very happily, tasted it lightly, and was slightly surprised: "It's sweet." ”

"Yes." Li Chengxiu explained: "It is also related to the season, the tea served by the sons today is all flower tea, but the difference between this cup of flower tea of the queen mother and the flower tea drunk by the father is that there is tea in the flower tea drunk by the father, while the cup of the queen mother only has flowers." The dried flowers that have been processed leave the fragrance of flowers, but they lack some of the bitterness of flowers, and it is most refreshing to drink with honey. And the flower tea cooked by the son for the queen mother is made of peony flowers, and the grace and luxury of the queen mother is only matched by the national color and fragrance of peony flowers. In addition, peony can pass through the heart, liver and kidneys, regulate the body's qi and blood, and have the effect of nourishing the skin and rejuvenating the skin......"
