One hundred and six

Hearing that Prince Rui was in the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but ask Eunuch Liu, "Did the second child say something?" "Lord Rui has been getting more and more lazy recently, except for the monthly dynasty and the fifteenth day of the new year to greet the queen mother, he usually rarely enters the palace at other times, let alone waiting in the imperial study early in the morning like today.

His Majesty the Emperor wondered if something had happened.

But Eunuch Liu also didn't know anything, shook his head and responded: "It's not like a bad thing for a slave to see the prince like that. He went to the imperial study to take a look before, and Prince Rui sat on the chair with his eyes closed, his hands in his sleeves, and shook rhythmically, as if he was humming something. This really doesn't look like being wronged to sue you.

When the emperor heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and went straight into the study.

As soon as he entered the house, Prince Rui immediately got up to greet him, looked at the emperor with a smile on his eyebrows, beckoned to him excitedly, smiled mysteriously, and lowered his voice very low, "Brother Huang, I have something good to show you." He didn't even salute the emperor as distantly and out of town as he usually did, and for a moment, the emperor suddenly felt as if they were back to the young and enthusiastic age they had been more than ten years ago.

The emperor's mood also involuntarily improved, and he also had a smile on his face, tilted his head sideways and glanced at Prince Rui a few times, his eyes fell on his wide sleeve, "What is hidden in your sleeve?" ”

Lord Rui smiled in a good mood, and instructed Eunuch Liu: "Go to the kettle and boil water." ”

Although Eunuch Liu didn't understand why, he still retired as well. This kind of trivial matter was not his turn to do, but Eunuch Liu was a clever person, and he immediately realized that Prince Rui and His Majesty the Emperor had something to say, so he immediately took the opportunity to retire, and at the same time glanced at the other palace people who were waiting in the study, and the palace people also quietly retreated.

When everyone in the house was gone, Prince Rui cut to the point, took out the small porcelain jar hidden in his sleeve, and sent it to His Majesty the Emperor like a treasure, and then, looking at him expectantly, his two eyes were simply shining, just like when he was a child, he sneaked out of the palace and struggled to pick up a few bird's eggs from the bird's nest in the treetops to bring back the treasure. His Majesty the Emperor thought that even if this porcelain jar contained a few birds' eggs, he should be happy.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Lord Rui while casually opening the jar, and then ...... A refreshing fragrance suddenly came into his nose, His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows and glanced at Prince Rui puzzled, "Second child, when will you make incense?" The taste is also elegant. "It smells a little familiar, but I can't tell what it smells like, it's not as restrained and heavy as sandalwood and agarwood, but there is a feeling of lightness and elegance.

Lord Rui was quite proud, "Brother Huang didn't smell it?" ”

His Majesty the Emperor looked up at him, "What the hell is it?" As he spoke, he shook the porcelain jar again, and poured out a small handful of bright green tea leaves from the jar, all of which were young shoots of the same size, like lotus hearts, and the color was oily and tender green, which was very beautiful. This is...... Could it be tea? ”

His Majesty the Emperor is not a person who is industrious and industrious, and when he was young, he also followed the first emperor to the south to inspect, and he had seen the original shape of tea with his own eyes, so this can reveal the truth in one word.

As he spoke, Eunuch Liu had already entered the house with a kettle, and Lord Rui quickly stepped forward to take it, and waved his hand at him, and Eunuch Liu retreated out of the door willingly.

Prince Rui didn't say much to the emperor, he made a pot of tea according to the tea method sent by Zhao Chengjin, he and the emperor took a cup, squinted their eyes and tasted it beautifully, drank it, and asked: "What does the imperial brother think of this new tea?" ”

"Good!" The emperor was concise and to the point, he immediately saw the huge profits in this new tea, and he was in a trance for a while, but he looked at the excited Lord Rui on his face, and exhaled heavily, in the end, it is better than falling into the hands of others.

"That'...... Since the imperial brother also said so, the younger brother cheekily asked you, do you see if this method of making tea can ...... What kind of title or something...... "Lord Rui was still a little awkward when he said this, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet fiercely and said: "I won't hide it from you, this is all Brother Shun's ghost idea...... " He Balabala explained Zhao Cheng's marriage to the Meng family, and said helplessly: "If Brother Ping did this, I will definitely break his legs, but Brother Shun ...... I really can't do it, and I can't even scold it, who made me, the father of the king, owe him. ”

His Majesty the Emperor had already fallen into a deep shock and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after being stunned for a long time, he jumped up and roared excitedly at Lord Rui, "Second brother, second brother, I see that you are really getting more and more confused!" This is Brother Shun's marriage, he is young and ignorant, you are still messing around with him, is this marriage event a child's play? That Meng family...... What kind of official did you just say? What a fart big official! What kind of girl can be raised? Tell me yourself, can this matter be solved by giving him a knighthood? How can a girl from a small family be the mistress of the palace? What are you not fooling around? What about the princess? How can she mess around like this with you and Brother Shun......"

Rui Wangye had long expected to be scolded by him, but he was not angry at this time, and yelled patiently at him, and when he roared dryly, and when he picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, Rui Wangye defended himself with a needle: "Isn't there nothing I can do?" The princess has already responded to this matter, if I don't agree, Brother Shun won't have to make trouble with me. ”

"Then you can't give the marriage without saying hello!" The emperor was so angry that he wanted to smash the tea cup in his hand.

Lord Rui wanted to cry without tears, "Brother Shun is in a hurry, if you don't propose marriage, the Meng family will recruit a son-in-law for his girl." People didn't want to marry their daughters, saying that they were Qi Dafei, afraid that the children would be wronged in the palace, and wanted to stay at home to recruit a son-in-law, but Brother Shun was in a hurry, he couldn't eat, and he didn't go out. That child has been sensible and well-behaved since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot outside in those years, and I feel sad when I think of this, where can I let him be wronged again. It's the royal brother, and I feel distressed to see him like that. ”

The emperor was still unhappy, but finally stopped scolding, and his face sank like the bottom of a pot. Lord Rui was not afraid at all, and continued to babble, "...... I also went to see that girl, although she was not from a high background, but she was not the kind of little girl who was twisted and pinched on the stage, whether it was her appearance or character, or her demeanor, otherwise, Brother Shun would definitely not marry her. If you really want to talk about it, some of the daughters of the big families are not necessarily better than her, that big girl of the Li family-"

"What is the Li family," the emperor immediately interrupted him unhappily, obviously the farce of the eldest lady of the Li family in the Rui Wangfu had already reached the emperor's ears, so he reacted like this.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, but Prince Rui didn't nag anymore this time, he made tea and tasted it slowly, and when he saw that the emperor's cup was empty, he quickly added it to him.

"Where's Brother Shun?" The emperor finally thought of something, and suddenly asked.

"In the tea garden, it is said that this is the time to stir-fry and make spring tea, so you have to keep an eye on it in the garden."

"The little girl from the Meng family also went?"

Lord Rui smiled a little embarrassedly, "That...... If she doesn't go, the tea won't be able to be fried. However, she is not the only one, and the Meng family Xiaolang is also there. ”

His Majesty the Emperor slightly lowered his head and glanced at the turquoise and clear tea soup in the cup, and did not make a sound.

…………

The Qingming holiday in Xiangshan Academy was only four days, and Ah Chu should have gone back to study a long time ago, but Zhao Chengjin came up with various reasons to keep him temporarily, "...... Boys must be able to write and martial arts, and they can read books at any time, but this kung fu of riding and archery is not so easy to learn. There isn't even a decent racetrack in the capital, so how can you learn to ride a horse......

Ah Chu was so fooled by him that he forgot to return to Beijing at all.

After taking a nap, the three of them went out for horseback riding together.

When he was a cat, Xu You had a natural love for horseback riding, and now that he has become a person, there is nothing to stop her, in just a few days, her riding skills are simply a thousand miles a day, so that Zhao Chengjin and a group of guards look at each other differently, but Ah Chu's progress is a little slow, until now, he only dares to ride a pony slowly, a little faster, he is frightened, and then, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Xu You.

"You...... That one...... Follow Brother Xiaoshun well, you know, I'll run two laps first and then come back to see you. Xu You couldn't help but smile and touched Ah Chu's brain, and waved his hand at Zhao Chengjin, who looked helpless, and flicked the whip gently, and the horse immediately spread his legs and galloped all the way.

"Miss Meng's riding skills are really clever!" A guard came to Zhao Chengjin's side to pat him, Zhao Chengjin glanced at him, and then looked up at Xu You, who had already run far away, and could barely see his back, he couldn't tell whether he wanted to cry or laugh, he didn't know that there was already a team of people who had arrived at the foot of the tea garden mountain.

…………

Because the weather was really good, the emperor simply abandoned the car and got on the horse, and walked slowly along the mountain road. There are not many people living in this mountain, the ancient trees are towering, the branches are luxuriant, there is quite an ancient meaning, to bypass a hill, the front suddenly opens up, it is a huge green canyon, the canyon is full of tea trees all over the mountains, and the air is faintly filled with a faint fragrance of tea.

The emperor took a deep breath and looked far away, seeing the mountains in the distance, the houses nearby, and the scattered peasants working in the tea plantations on the hillside, and a slender figure galloping on the path like lightning......

The emperor looked at the figure on horseback with half-squinted eyes, and whispered to the Wei guards: "You said about my coming to the tea garden today?" ”

Wei Guards shook their heads with a calm face, the emperor glanced at him, and then moved his gaze to Eunuch Liu, who hurriedly clarified, "Your Majesty, the slave didn't say a word. "God knows how someone would ride out to meet him.

But soon, the emperor realized that he had guessed wrong, and they had only walked a few steps, and when they reached the gate of the tea plantation, they were stopped, and two young men who looked like peasants shouted at them in the middle of the road, "What are you doing? Isn't this an official road, don't you see a sign on the side of the road? You can't go any further, turn around! ”

Wei guards always had a cold face, squinted their eyes and glanced at them, the two farmers suddenly shuddered, but not only did they not get out of the way, but instead shouted for help at the top of their voices, and they didn't know where they spoke.

Eunuch Liu was startled, and when he saw that the emperor's face was about to be wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, and said to the farmer who was blocking the road: "Our master is a noble person from the capital, and a distinguished guest of your master, hurry up and go in to report." ”

Those farmers were very fierce, and they didn't eat his set at all, and snorted when they heard this, "Just make it up, if there are really distinguished guests coming, why don't you see Steward Shen come over and greet us." Steward Shen had told him in advance, no matter who it was, no one could let it in without his orders. Don't think that we believe it if we dress like people, don't you just want to sneak into our tea garden and steal things......"

The emperor laughed angrily, thinking about it and feeling that this was indeed Zhao Chengjin's handiwork, and then he felt strange and interesting.

The two sides were in a stalemate, Xu You rode a horse galloping, and saw a group of people blocking the gate of the tea garden from afar, and couldn't help but be stunned, so he grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, and asked loudly: "What's wrong, how do you block people at the door?" ”

But the farmers all recognized her, and immediately rushed over to say, "Miss Meng, these people from outside have to enter our tea garden, and they say that they are distinguished guests from the capital, and they have been stopped by us." Didn't the prince say that you can't just let outsiders in? Don't look at them well-dressed, but maybe they really have other intentions. ”

Xu You was also a little puzzled, if Prince Rui wanted to come over, he wouldn't even give a message, and in this capital, would anyone know that they were secretly making tea here? Besides, looking at the clothes of those guards, they don't look like those from the Rui Wangfu.

Her eyes quickly swept over a kind of guard, and then, suddenly saw His Majesty the Emperor and Wei guards in the crowd, Xu You shook his hand, and the horse under him suddenly misunderstood, and was about to run, Xu You was suddenly startled, hurriedly pulled the reins, and the center of gravity suddenly shifted, and then, in front of everyone, she fell off the horse......

Wei Guard's face remained unchanged, His Majesty the Emperor gloated and hooked the corners of his mouth, he heard the farmer call Xu You "Miss Meng", and immediately guessed her identity, so his mood suddenly became very delicate.

When the farmers saw Xu You's buttocks, their faces turned white with fright, and they came forward in a panic and asked, "Miss Meng, are you okay?" ”

Xu You waved his hand with a stiff face, "I'm fine, that ......" She endured the pain, struggled to stand up with the horse's legs, bared her teeth, and ordered: "Hurry up and report to the prince, just say, he ...... Uncle came, and asked him to come and greet him. ”

"Ahh The farmer touched his head with some fear, "It's really a relative of the prince." He glanced at the emperor timidly again, and this time he finally saw the domineering spirit of the emperor's □, his face suddenly turned whole, and he pulled his mouth and squeezed out a smile at the emperor with difficulty, and then ran away.

Xu You hesitated, not knowing whether he should step forward to ask His Majesty the Emperor for his guilt, or should he pretend to know nothing and continue to hang this moody Emperor His Majesty here - Xu You secretly glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor was also looking at her, her heart suddenly jumped, her stiff face squeezed out a smile and said "hehe" to him twice, thought about it, and put on a flattering expression very shamelessly to greet him.

Before she could speak, the emperor suddenly kicked the Wei guard lightly and said in a low voice, "Why do I suddenly think that this little girl looks very familiar." This fake flattery, but barely concealed face, is exactly the same as the cat that was so frightened to death that many years ago that he had to lie on his lap and pretend to be stupid.

I don't know why, he seems to suddenly understand Brother Shun.
