Chapter 274: Plum Tea
Zhang Dongxu and his entourage returned to the palace, and Qingwu returned to the home of the Dongfang Lord, originally Yan Ling wanted her to live in the palace, but Qingwu still refused, saying that the Dongfang Lord's home has always been cleaned, but it is also clean, and the people who came with them are all people from Qingyang Mountain, and the top ten disciples are here, although the eldest disciple has a disagreement with Zhang Dongxu, and with the instructions of the second chief, he does not dare to make a time, Zhang Dongxu is in the time of employing people, so he naturally does not account for it, and the two of them laughed and laughed at this enmity.
"Sister, sister, are you there?"
Madame Dongfang heard the shouts outside and knew that the little girl in the palace was here again.
"Here we are." Qingwu opened the door gently, Yan Ling had already taken a bunch of people outside the door.
"Sister Qingwu, I'm here to play with you, you don't feel at ease when you look at the emperor's brother, you have to bring so many people with me, it's really annoying like a piece of wood." As he spoke, he stared carefully at the light dance's expression.
Qingwu only lost his mind for a moment, and then regained his composure in a blink of an eye, "Come in and talk, it's snowing heavily, come and drink some hot tea." ”
"Well, it's freezing to death outside."
Yan Ling rubbed his hands, the sky outside was really getting colder and colder day by day.
"Ma'am." Yan Ling saluted gently.
Mrs. Dongfang didn't have any expression, "Miss Yanling is here again, now that the road is slippery in snowy weather, you have to be careful on the road." ”
Yan Ling's face flushed, "Thank you Madame for your concern, why haven't you seen Lord Dongfang in the past few days." ”
"That old man doesn't have time to come out now, he's been cultivating lately. It's just that this girl is getting lazy and lazy. Mrs. Dongfang glanced sideways and danced lightly, and it was difficult to hide the doting in her eyes.
"Mother, don't talk about me here anymore, let Sister Yan Ling laugh at me in vain."
Qingwu stepped forward to hold Mrs. Dongfang coquettishly, although Mrs. Dongfang was her stepmother, she had always loved her as her own daughter.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go inside, I'll have someone make you some tea, it's such a cold day." Lady Dongfang glanced at the gray sky and sighed. Walked in.
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The two little sisters held hands. Walking into the courtyard of the light dance together, the cold plum is blooming, and there are white snowflakes on the red petals. There are several urns under the snowflakes with lids.
"Sister Light Dance. What's that? ”
Qingwu glanced at it. "This is the snow on the plum blossoms I collected, Master likes plum blossoms, and the plum blossoms here are all planted by my mother and my father herself, and the varieties are excellent. The flowers are huge and extraordinarily fragrant, and the contaminated snow water has a clear plum blossom fragrance, so I took some more. “
Yan Ling's eyes rolled, "Sister Qingwu, have you made a lot?" How long does it take for the plum blossom aroma here to be good. ”
With a slight smile, she plucked the most beautiful plum blossom from the branch, with a little snowflake on it, and put it in an urn.
"I'll give it to you later."
Yan Ling blinked, "Really? ”
"This is nature," the two of them picked a bunch in the snow, and when they brought it to the room, the unique fragrance of plum blossoms was still very strong.
"This flower really tastes good." Yan Ling took one of them and sniffed it softly.
"The flowers here are carefully cultivated by my father and mother, and this is a plum blossom from the deep mountains, and I am afraid that there will be no plum blossoms with such a fragrance in the palace."
Qingwu put the urn into the house, and the red charcoal fire burned inside, and soon the snow on the flowers began to melt.
Qingwu took a small silver spoon, scooped a little snow water, put it in the teapot, put a few plum blossoms in it, warmed it on the charcoal fire, took out some tea leaves and put it inside, and after a while, the house was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms and tea leaves.
"Sister, this tea is obviously more flavorful, why is the plum blossom taste stronger?"
Qingwu scooped a cup of tea and put it in Yan Ling's hand, "Taste it and see what the difference is?" ”
Yan Ling smelled the fragrance of tea in the cup and took a sip gently, "Hey, how can this be?" ”
"This kind of tea grows on the cliff of the snow-capped mountain, I have one day when I learned the sword, followed the master to pass by the snow-capped mountain, the master wants to pick a Tianshan snow lotus to the second master to make up for the body, I am idle without chatting in the air and actually floated down the plum blossoms, you also know that my mother loves plum blossoms the most, the plum blossoms are huge, the fragrance is incomparable, I flew up, originally picked two branches to my mother, but there is a tea tree growing under the plum branches, the snow water on the plum blossoms watered it, the tea leaves actually have the taste of plum blossoms, and I picked a lot, Some of them were given to my mother and father, and some of them are with me, and this is also a blessing for you, and if you like it, I will give you some later, and I promise that you have not tasted it. ”
"Indeed, this tea is warm and moist in the mouth, and it does not have the astringent feeling of ordinary tea leaves."
Yan Ling likes it very much.
"Wait a minute, my sister must share a little with me, I want to give the emperor's brother a taste."
When Qingwu heard Zhang Dongxu, her face suddenly turned red, and she nodded, "I'll give you all a little later." ”
Yan Ling approached Qingwu and squeezed his eyebrows, "Sister Qingwu, what did the emperor's brother tell you that day, you two both have a weird feeling, I let you enter the palace to play with me, you don't go, there must be a reason." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that we came this time to get rid of demons, and living in the palace inevitably has a lot more rules, and I still feel more comfortable at home."
Qingwu didn't tell Yan Ling, Zhang Dongxu told her when he sent her back, he had always liked his princess, but because he fell in a lake with him, he would be responsible, as long as Qingwu was willing, he was willing to marry her in the position of a concubine. "Really?" Yan Ling looked incredulous, "Sister, there is no one else here, I will definitely help you keep it a secret, I will return to the palace, and every day the emperor's brother will say your name." ”
Zhang Dongxu in the palace sneezed fiercely.
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go in."
Jiao Tianru said.
"I heard that Yan Ling went to the Dongfang Lord's house again?"
"Yes, Yan Ling likes the light dance girl very much, and the light dance girl is also a very good girl." Jiao Tianru said truthfully.
Zhang Dongxu looked Jiao Tianru up and down, "Tianru, aren't you very sensitive to the people of the previous dynasty?" Miss Xiyue, you can hurt her very badly, how can you have such a big evaluation of the light dance girl. ”
Jiao Tianru didn't hide it, "She must not be the princess of the previous dynasty, the minister just thinks that the light dance girl's Taoism is much better than the minister, this time the light dance girl can show that she is still interested in Your Majesty, presumably Your Majesty is the same for the light dance girl." ”
Zhang Dongxu sighed, "Qingwu is indeed a good girl, but I never thought of taking advantage of her."
"The minister knows." Jiao Tianru lowered his head, even though His Majesty had no intention of using it, but the minister has, there are some things, and the minister can bear it, but Jiao Tianru will not tell Zhang Dongxu these words. (To be continued.) )
