The emperor angrily put a cup of tea on the case, very annoyed. Gonggong Chen, who was standing on the side, lowered his head worriedly, looked at the emperor with slightly slanted eyes, and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Qing'er walked lightly, holding a cup of fruit tea.

Chen Gonggong gave Qing'er a hint, and the emperor was in a state of boredom, so he asked Qing'er to act at the opportunity and speak well, so as not to touch the emperor's prestige and cause trouble.

Qing'er nodded approvingly.

Qing'er only felt like walking on thin ice, and her heart trembled.

"It's you!"

The emperor glanced at Qing'er, his eyes full of majesty.

Qing'er saluted, "Your Majesty, it's a slave!" The slave maid made a special tea for the emperor today, would the emperor like to taste it? See how the slave and maid are doing? ”

"Then tell me first, what kind of tea is it?"

"Your Majesty, it is spring now, and according to the law of this solar term, it is easy to be irritable and sleepy. As the old saying goes, 'spring sleep is not aware', from this point of view, spring is easy to sleep, the ancients are like this, and the ancient meaning is so. Today, the slave maid specially made Sydney tea, and the slave maid has asked the imperial doctor, and I heard that Sydney can moisten the lungs and relieve fatigue, making people feel calm. I wonder if the emperor would like to taste it? ”

The emperor glanced at Qing'er, "Come on!" ”

"Yes!"

The emperor picked up the pear tea, took a sip, and tasted it again, "The entrance is sweet, moistens the lungs and relieves fatigue, and the faint fragrance of Sydney pear in the mouth has an endless aftertaste!" Wonderful! ”

Qing'er's tense heart was finally relieved.

Gonggong Chen, who was on the side, finally showed a smile, looked at the emperor, looked at Qing'er, and felt very satisfied.

"Qing'er, what kind of method is your Sydney tea?"

"Back to the emperor! The slave boiled the peeled pears in boiling water, added six rock sugars, rock sugar can not only increase the sweetness of the tea, but also increase the taste of the pears, simmer for about half an hour! ”

The emperor's majestic face showed a faint smile, "You are really a slave with a heart!" Since you just mentioned the ancients, how do you think I compare with the ancients? ”

In an instant, Qing'er felt stunned, and she was speechless for a while.

I wanted to take advantage of the spring and fatigue, which has been around for a long time, to comfort the emperor, but I didn't expect to let myself fall into it.

This question seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to answer, saying that the emperor is good, it is a sycophant, and the ancient people with lofty ideals, the virtuous monarch is not in vain; On the other hand, to say good things about the ancients is to despise the saints and really seek their own death.

For a while, Qing'er was in a dilemma.

Looking at Qing'er, Gonggong Chen also looked worried, afraid that if Qing'er didn't pay attention, he would anger the emperor, and he was uneasy.

"Huh?"

The emperor looked at Qing'er majestically, waiting for her answer.

Qing'er walked on thin ice, "Your Majesty, there is such a story among the people: a foreigner came to Datang, and he found that Datang is really a state of civilization and etiquette. He was prosperous and rich, and the road was not left behind, and the people were very kind to him; However, his biggest discovery was not only that, but found that the people of the Tang Dynasty were very benevolent and filial. He didn't understand what contributed to such a Tang Dynasty atmosphere, and why the subjects of his country couldn't do it. So, he made up his mind to find out. He went into a village and went from house to house. He found that there was a statue of Confucius in every household, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, incense would be offered and bowed down. He finally understood, and said very happily, 'It turns out that it was the kindness and filial piety of the ancients that influenced the villagers and made you like this!' ’”

At this time, the emperor's eyes were full of majesty, and his eyes were cold.

Chen Gonggong was anxious and worried.

Qing'er didn't stop there, but continued, "However, this foreigner's question not only changed his original opinion, but also rediscovered a secret. The villager's reply was: You are only a small part right, and you have not discovered or seen the important things! The Gentile did not believe that there was anything else he had not discovered. So, he visited many more households, but the answer he got was the same as what the villager said! In the end, a villager told him: We respect our ancestors, and some of the ideas of our ancestors do have merits, but it is our parents who really benefit us a lot! They gave me life, protected me, fed me, taught me how to live, how to understand etiquette, and they are my greatest worship! I think of the ancients, but I respect Lord Gaotang even more! ”

Chen's worries turned to stability.

The emperor's majestic face gradually eased, and he smiled majestically, "Qing'er, your Sydney tea is really good to drink!" It also quenched my thirst, and my spirit became bright! In the future, prepare more of this tea for me! ”

Qing'er's heart can finally fall.

"Yes! As long as the emperor likes it, the slave and maid must be dedicated! ”

The emperor smiled kindly, "Say it!" What shall I reward you? ”

Qing'er saluted, "It's all within the slave's share!" Slaves and maids don't dare to ask for any reward! ”

The emperor glanced at a plate of grapes on the case, "This plate of grapes has just come from the southern kingdom!" I've rewarded it to you! ”

Qing'er saluted, "Thank you for the emperor's reward!" ”

With that, he stepped forward and picked up the grapes.

"Stand down!"

"Yes!"

Qing'er turned to leave.
