Chapter 174: Mother and Son
Wan Ning comforted Mrs. Pei, "Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the young lady in the house will definitely be fine." ”
Mrs. Pei nodded, she also had no way to ask Miss Yao Qi, she saw with her own eyes how Zhongyi Hou changed from a frightened child to what he is now.
Ming Zhao took Zhao Fan to ride a horse, and when he came back, Zhao Fan specially sent her the prey, and told her jokes with a smile to make her happy.
The chamberlain slowly stepped forward, Mrs. Pei didn't want to say anything, so she got on the sedan chair with Wanning, the sedan chair stopped at the inner palace gate, and Mrs. Pei and Wanning stepped into the Yongshou Palace together.
"The Queen."
The female officer shouted softly, "Mrs. Yong'an Hou and Miss Yao Qi have arrived." ”
The queen nodded, and Mrs. Pei and Yao Wanning entered the inner hall to salute.
The female official put the brocade pestle, Wan Ning and Mrs. Pei sat down after thanking her, the queen held the stove and looked at Miss Yao Qi sitting below, she looked like a beautiful embryo, she sat there without panic or fear, and her gestures revealed everyone's beautiful knowledge and courtesy, such a young lady should be liked by the elders.
The female official brought over the new tea and purple clay pot sent by Wanning, and the queen looked over, "This is the new tea that is prevalent in Beijing?" ”
Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "But isn't it," she said and looked at the purple clay pot, "That's the purple clay pot?" I can see you here at Niangniang. ”
Wan Ning stood up and saluted, "The courtiers have the courage to bring the tea in, and I don't know if I can offer it to the queen." ”
The waiter came to Yao's house and mentioned her new tea. Otherwise, she would not have taken the tea and purple clay pot into the palace so recklessly.
When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, the female official just asked and took the tea away, and she was even more sure that the queen wanted to see the new tea she made.
The queen looked at Wan Ning with a smile. "This palace also listened to the county lord of An Yi."
The female official brought hot water, Wan Ning walked over to brew the tea, and the carefully selected tea leaves were brewed, and immediately the attendants and female officials came up to taste the tea, and finally sent it to the queen's mother.
Wan Ning said: "In the past, most of the popular tea was raw tea, which is ripe tea, and ripe tea is good for yin and stomach. It is suitable for drinking in autumn and winter. ”
The female officer brought a glass to Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei tasted it and smiled and bent her eyes, "This is better than what I let you brew." ”
The queen took a sip of the new tea and put it on the table.
She is not a tea lover. This tea tastes different from what you taste on weekdays, the taste is a little strange, and there is a faint orchid aroma in the aftertaste.
Tea merchants snatch tea from each other.
The purple clay pot on the table is also chic.
She's seen a lot of novelties, but none of them stand up to scrutiny. The things that Miss Yao Qi brought seemed to be more than just a "coincidence".
The queen raised her eyes and asked. "How did you come up with the idea of making tea like this?"
The queen would not be interested in a cup of tea, and what she wanted to know was why so many tea merchants wanted to get the recipe for making tea from her.
"Hui Niangniang," Wan Ning said, "when I was in Taixing, a descendant of a tea merchant who often came and went with my family came to defect, and the tea of that merchant was damp and unusable, and the family lost all their money and was called for debts, and the family was ruined." This year, Fujian has been rainy and rainy, and many tea estates are like this. One of my family's subordinates mentioned the practice of brick tea, I instructed the shopkeeper to find a tea master to try to make tea hoarded by the tea house, such tea also has the advantage of not being afraid of long-distance transportation, placed for a long time and will not lose the fragrance of tea, although it is like brick tea, but it is different, there is no bitterness, pine smoke taste, use the tea well, but will be more faint flower and fruit fragrance. ”
It's rare for a teenager to come up with such a method, and it really took a lot of effort to ask the tea master to do it, so the new tea will sell well in Beijing.
A smile appeared on the queen's face, "It's rare for you to have such a mind, just keep the tea, and taste it when the palace is fine." ”
Mrs. Pei's eyes couldn't help but light up, it was rare for the queen mother to say so many words, which showed that she liked Miss Yao Qi a little.
Wan Ning stepped forward to thank her, and as soon as the words fell, she heard the palace outside: "The eldest prince is here." ”
Mrs. Pei hurriedly got up.
Wan Ning looked up, a look of relief flashed on the queen's face, and her eyebrows were raised, obviously happy and liking.
"The Queen." Mrs. Pei was ready to retire.
But the queen instructed the palace people, "Invite the eldest prince in!" ”
The queen has no heirs, and the palace people around her gave birth to the eldest prince for the emperor, according to the rules, the emperor will rely on the son of Guijin to seal the palace people, but this matter is pressed down because of the queen's illness, the queen's illness has just improved, but the palace people have died of a sudden illness, and the eldest prince naturally stayed with the queen's mother.
Before Wan Ning entered the palace, she asked Mother Tong to inquire about the rumors in the queen's palace.
It is said outside that the queen mother punished the palace people by being sick.
But at the age of the queen mother, it is not without the opportunity to give birth, it stands to reason that she will not leave the eldest prince by her side with such a ruthless hand, since the palace people are from the Yongshou Palace, the queen mother can envelop the palace people, and the grace and power are combined, not only to collect the mother and son, but also to win the reputation of virtue.
Wan Ning was thinking about it, a three or four-year-old child walked in, Wan Ning took the opportunity to glance at it, the eldest prince pursed his lips, there was not much expression on his face, even if there were two more people in the palace, he just glanced at it curiously and immediately withdrew his gaze.
Not at all like a three- or four-year-old.
The queen mother had already smiled and asked the eldest prince to get up.
Compared with the queen mother, the young child of the eldest prince seemed more regular, there was a little timidity in his eyes, and he subconsciously leaned towards the palace people next to him.
The eldest prince is afraid of the queen's mother.
The queen mother was a little helpless, and beckoned the eldest prince to come and sit.
The eldest prince walked over slowly, and then put his hand on his knees, without the slightest admiration.
The queen's eyes were a little gloomy, but she didn't forget to ask the palace people, "How is the eldest prince's body?" Can you have a cough these days? ”
The palace man said in a regular manner: "It's much better, I only coughed twice yesterday." ”
"You can't be careless, you have to take the medicine on time," the queen mother took the eldest prince's hand, "Did you take the medicine today?" ”
The eldest prince nodded a little weakly, "Ate some." ”
The queen couldn't help but advise, "Eat as the imperial doctor says." ”
The eldest prince's head lowered a little deeper, "Medicine bitter ......"
"Bitterness must also be suffered."
Wan Ning suddenly felt that she was looking at a pair of problematic mothers and sons, a mother who hoped that her son would become a dragon and a son who was afraid and did not understand his mother.
The eldest prince is only three or four years old, if it goes on like this, how will the mother and son get along?
A child will not have such a big resistance, it is deliberately instilled by others to have such a result, the purpose is to want the eldest prince and the queen to deviate from morality.
If the queen can't have children, when the emperor wants to establish a prince, someone will take advantage of this mother-son relationship to fight.
Wan Ning thought and lowered her head.
The battle in the palace has nothing to do with her, she just needs to be cautious and do her own thing.
"What's that?" The eldest prince suddenly pointed to the unicorn made of purple sand on the table.
The queen mother looked at Wan Ning, and Wan Ning saluted: "The eldest prince, that's a tea pet." ”
"What is a tea pet?" In the end, it was a three- or four-year-old child, very curious about the chubby little thing on the table.
Wan Ning said: "It is an object nourished by tea, after a long time, the more tea is poured, the more beautiful it will become, and there will be a faint fragrance of tea." ”
The eldest prince's small hand was clenched tightly, very curious, and he shrugged his shoulders twice to raise his arm but put it down.
"This tea pet has been raised with cold water, and it will spit water when it encounters hot tea." She didn't want to demonstrate it in front of the queen mother, and the queen mother would not care about this little trick.
The eldest prince's eyes were clear and he became curious, "That'...... Will spit water? As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at the queen mother.
The queen laughed, "Then try it and see if it will spit water." ”
The palace people immediately went to make tea, and even if the eldest prince was very curious, he sat respectfully, not daring to urge the palace people.
The hot tea is poured down, and the tiny unicorn slowly spits out the water.
"Spit water, spit water......"
The eldest prince was surprised for a moment and spread his arms.
The queen mother was also a little surprised, "I really spit water." ”
Hearing the voice of the queen mother, the eldest prince immediately sat down, but his eyes couldn't take his eyes off the tea pet.
"Let's play with this!" The queen mother instructed the palace people, "Take it to the eldest prince." ”
Wan Ning bowed her head and said: "It doesn't work to always pour hot tea, you have to wait until the tea pet is cold before watering, and you must use the new tea sent by the courtiers on weekdays to raise, so that it will be brighter and brighter." ”
After getting what he liked, the eldest prince had the appearance of a child, and he seriously memorized Wanning's words, and instructed the palace people, "Remember." ”
The palace people stepped forward to ask Wanning clearly, how to raise tea pets, and what to pay attention to on weekdays.
Looking at the little tea pet, Wan Ning lost her mind for a while, before she came, she was still thinking about whether to take this purple sand unicorn, and it was because it could make the purple sand pot and tea set look more beautiful, but she didn't expect to be taken by the eldest prince.
It's really unintentional.
After a long time in the queen's palace, Mrs. Pei and Wanning got up and retired.
The two of them got into the sedan chair until they reached the palace gate, and Mrs. Pei came over, "It's still early, and I don't know if Miss Yao Qi can go to our house to sit." ”
This is the third time that Mrs. Pei has invited her, and Wan Ning is not easy to refuse, so she followed Mrs. Pei into the carriage of the Pei family.
The carriage stopped at the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Pei got out of the car first and took Wan Ning to the hall to sit for a while.
Wan Ning stood up, "I'll follow Madame to see my sister." ”
Mrs. Pei said gratefully, "Then I'll bother Miss Seven." ”
