Chapter Seventy-One: Meet the King of Chu

"You're here, sit down." When the king of Chu saw Luo Rao coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him. He stretched out a hand, palm facing upwards to the empty seat opposite, the wide sleeves swaying slightly with his movements, looking calm. His eyebrows are like ink paintings, his eyes are faintly flashing, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, with a faint smile, he looks a little elegant. He has a clear silhouette and a majestic instrument, but it doesn't feel cold, but like a spring breeze blowing slowly.

Luo Rao was stunned at a glance, and quickly reacted, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Highness is too polite, it should be Luo Rao who thanked His Highness." ”

When she sat down, she secretly said in her heart: He is worthy of being a recognized jade-faced son in his previous life, but in just a few months, he has added a little more elegance than last time. If it takes a little longer, I'm afraid it won't be so convenient for him to go out. When the time comes, the champas on the street will be like clouds, and the scene must be very interesting, and she can't help but turn up the corners of her mouth when she thinks of this.

"What is Miss Luo laughing at?" Qi Lian's voice is wide and gentle, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.

Luo Rao came back to her senses, "The little girl is just glad to meet a gentleman like His Royal Highness." "Wei Feng" has a saying: There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. I think it's the best way to describe Your Highness. ”

"Where, where." Qi Lian smiled, "Miss Luo praised it falsely, I don't know what happened to me this time?" ”

Luo Rao looked at Bi Zhi, who was standing on the side, and motioned for her to take out the wrapped plate of incense. After Bi Zhi took it out, she reached out and took it and handed it to Qi Lian, "I want to ask Your Highness to help find the imperial doctor to see if there is anything wrong with this incense." ”

Qi Lian took it, opened it and looked at it, leaned over to smell it again, and then shook his head to say that he didn't see anything wrong with this incense. He wrapped it and handed it to the guard beside him, "I'll let the Imperial Doctor check it carefully, don't worry." ”

"Your Highness Youlao." Luo Rao turned the teacup on the table, a little embarrassed, "Thank Your Highness for asking the imperial doctor to treat the courtier's mother in time." Luo Rao troubled His Highness several times, and she was really uneasy. ”

"These little things are nothing, it should be Miss Lian Xie Luo." Qi Lian was referring to the thing that designed Qi Yin, and he benefited more than a little bit from it. Because of Qi Yin's mistakes, Concubine Li was not treated well by His Majesty in the harem. At this time, there were no new beauties entering the palace, and his mother was more and more favored because of her gentleness and touching, and he naturally got a lot of light.

Speaking of which, last time it was Lian who was ashamed in his heart, he originally promised to protect the Shen family, but he didn't expect the second child to refuse to let them go. By the time I got the news, it was too late. He sighed, very regretful, "It's the king's fault, I didn't realize that the second child was already so vicious, when he killed the Shen family's daughter before, I should have thought that he was not so merciful." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this." Luo Rao comforted: "We didn't think of this, the fault can't be counted on His Highness, it's really that the King of Eagle is too vicious." Fortunately, it can be regarded as blocking his way now, and he will probably be in peace for a while. ”

Qi Lian smiled, the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes lit up, and he looked a little more energetic, "What Miss Luo said is. ”

Luo Rao nodded, "Bizhi, it's been a long time since you went to see it, why haven't they come over for tea yet." ”

After a while, Bi Zhi found out the reason and reported, "Miss, that excellent tea master accidentally burned his hand, and the only way you asked them to brew before was this master's best, and other masters ...... Don't dare to try. ”

"Is it serious?" Luo Rao asked with concern, seeing that Bi Zhi nodded, "Then you let him go back to rest first, I will take care of it here, and let them use the sencha equipment well." ”

Qi Lian looked at Luo Rao with some surprise, "Could it be that you say?" ”

She looked at each other and smiled, "As His Highness thought, Luo Rao is now the owner of this 'tireless' teahouse. ”

Everything is well used, Luo Rao is proficient in skilled techniques, and Qi Lian who watched it was even more surprised, "You can actually make tea, and you are so proficient." ”

"It's just that when I was in the mountains, Master liked to drink, so I practiced." She smiled slightly, her hands moving non-stop, and she looked more coherent. From appreciating tea and placing tea in the purifier to flushing the water to watch the soup and smell the fragrance, she constantly recited the fairy bath, the first show of fairy posture, the flying snow sinks into the river, the waterfall pours straight down, the bamboo shoots are unearthed, and the fragrance is explored.

Her movements were unhurried, the timing was just right, and then she read: "Tea fragrant leaf sprouts, Mu Shike monk's house." Grinding and carving white jade, weaving and dancing red yarn. The night invites the bright moon, and the morning glow is in the morning. Ancient and modern people are tireless, how can they boast when they are drunk? (Adapted from Yuan Zhen's one-character to seven-character poems)

After Luo Rao finished speaking, the last action was also completed, she looked at Qi Lian, her eyebrows bent, "Your Highness, please use it." ”

"Okay." Qi Lian picked up the teacup with one hand, and his thumb and forefinger were close to the edge of the teacup. The thin and translucent milk embryo ice porcelain gradually approached his mouth with his movements, and he was immediately attracted by the fragrance that emanated, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took a sip until the aroma overflowed his throat, and then he slowly swallowed it.

"Good tea." After he drank it, he praised happily, "I never thought that Miss Luo's craftsmanship was so good." ”

Luo Rao smiled in her eyes, "It is really Luo Rao's blessing to be praised by His Royal Highness." His Royal Highness is too polite, just call me Luo Rao. ”

"Good. Don't call your Highness, why do you need so many rules when you go out, just call me Qi Lian. ”

Luo Rao and Qi Lian sat near the window, they didn't notice that the door of a private room was ajar, just in their direction, and their every move was in full view.

The man in the private room stared at them closely, watching them talk very happily, and the woman smiled and laughed, and kept talking about the topic, relaxed and happy. The woman poured tea for him with her own hands, and they got along well.

He also carefully remembered that Luo Rao looked at Qi Lian when he came in, although it was only for a moment, but he just saw it, and he couldn't forget that moment no matter what. He squeaked and thought about it, then picked up the herbal tea and drank it all.

The guard next to him was silent, and looked at the pair of people who were drinking tea with a calm face, the man was handsome, the woman was gentle, and she looked very right. After a long time, the guard tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked down at the ground, believing that his Highness would not sit idly by and ruin their good atmosphere.

The result was beyond his expectations, and after hearing His Highness's words, he felt as if he had been hit by a big rock, and his chest was stuffy. He took a deep breath and spit it out, but it still couldn't alleviate the feeling, and his heart was still blocked and couldn't be evacuated.

He thinks of his Royal Highness, the heavens and nobles, whether it is above the court or elsewhere, they are all indulgent. Although he has been restricted, there are constant open guns and hidden arrows, and in the past few years, with His Highness's ability, he has not been able to get what he wants, and at this moment, His Highness, who he regarded as a god, actually said this.

"With the wind, this king is jealous ......"
