In the first carriage, the waste prince Chen Yin saw the people waiting at the Jianchun Gate in front of him through the window, ordered the carriage to stop, then pulled the door to get out of the car, and saluted the old man: "Mr. Yuan." ā€

"Too... King Wu Xing..."

Shang Shu Servant Shot, Prince Zhan Shi Yuan Xian, looking at the former prince, his voice was choked, and a thousand words turned to his mouth, only saying the word "take care", he had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop the emperor from abolishing Chen Yin's crown prince.

After a short farewell, the convoy continued to move forward, and Yuan Xian looked at the back of the carriage that Chen Yin was riding and sighed.

Chen Yin is the eldest son of today's great Chen Tianzi, his biological mother Sun died due to the birth of Chen Yin's dystocia, raised by his mother (crown princess) Shen, regarded as his own, and the emperor Chen Yin at that time also regarded Chen Yin as the emperor's grandson.

Later, the crown prince Chen Shubao ascended the throne, and Chen Yin was made the crown prince, and the famous Yuan Xian was appointed as the prince's concubine.

Chen Yin likes to read, and often talks with Wang Gongqing and Taixue in Taixue, Emperor Chen Shubao does not want to see the prince do this, and Empress Shen, who is disgusted with the amorous feelings, is gradually dissatisfied with Chen Yin.

He doted on the concubine Zhang Lihua, and Aiwu and Wu doted on the son of the two, Shi'an Wang Chen Shen, and gradually had the intention of abolishing the establishment, Yuan Xian was anxious about the prince's situation, and tried every means to maneuver but with little success.

Chen Yin usually does not abide by the rules and regulations, Yuan Xian expressed his advice and sincere words, but although Chen Yin accepted it on the surface, he actually had no intention of repenting.

Empress Shen misses Chen Yin, who she raised single-handedly, and often sends people to the East Palace, and the prince also sends people to Queen Shen from time to time, Chen Shubao is very jealous of this, and Zhang Lihua also takes advantage of this to fan the flames, Yuan Xian tries his best to persuade Chen Yin but still can't change anything.

Chen Shubao decided to abolish the crown prince Chen Yin, and set up Chen Shen, the king of Shi'an, as the crown prince, and the abolition of the establishment has become a reality today, so that Yuan Xian is a little relieved that Chen Yin was not deposed as a concubine but was renamed the king of Wuxing, and was properly placed in Jiankang City.

"Yuan servant shot, the slave and maid still have to return to the official family, so they will retire first."

A eunuch shouted at the throat of the male duck to Yuan Xian to retire, as an overseer, since the abolished prince has left the palace, then his duty has been completed.

Yuan Xian looked at the favored eunuch beside the Son of Heaven, and the corners of his mouth moved to say something, but the words still didn't come out of his mouth.

Although a few years ago to recover Huainan, but lost Yingzhou, the Northern Zhou State was about to destroy the Sui, and Chen not only did not send troops when the two countries were at war, but the official army was tossed by the people in various places to run for their lives.

Internal and external troubles, but the official family does not want to forge ahead, drinking and having fun all day long, and now he has abolished the prince, it is really... Alas.

The eunuch stopped, looked back at Yuan Xian's bleak back, snorted and continued to walk, passing by the noisy East Palace, only to see that the old was being replaced with a new one in order to welcome the arrival of the new master.

He walked forward quickly, came to the front of the Linguang Palace, here is built Linchun, Jieqi, Wangxian three pavilions, the pavilion is dozens of zhang high, stretches dozens of rooms, is built for skilled craftsmen, and the wood used is precious sandalwood.

Your Excellency accumulates stones for mountains, diverts water for pools, plants strange trees and flowers, whenever the breeze blows, the fragrance smells for dozens of miles.

The Son of Heaven lives in Linchun Pavilion, Zhang Guifei lives in Jieqi Pavilion, Gong, Kong two noble concubines, lives in Wangxian Pavilion, there is a double road connection between the three pavilions, and there are concubines with both talents and colors are called from time to time, and they take turns to enter the pavilion to serve the Son of Heaven.

The eunuch entered the pavilion and walked up the stairs, but he heard laughter and laughter in the Linchun Pavilion, he whispered a few words to the eunuch waiting outside the door, and then stood with his hands down and did not dare to disturb inside.

In the Linchun Pavilion, Chen Shubao sat on the top couch, the concubine Zhang Lihua sat on the left, Kong Guifei sat on the right, and the lower head was Shangshu Ling Jiang Zong, Du Zhi Shangshu Kong Fan, and Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing were also on the left and right.

The concubines who performed singing and dancing have retreated, and the focus of everyone's attention is all gathered on Kong Guifei, to be exact, it is the tea set she is holding in her hand, this beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, is now performing "tea art".

In front of Kong Guifei, there are many tea utensils, and the never-before-seen tea ceremony performance is slowly kicking off.

The first is the "white crane bath", that is, washing the tea set with boiling water, and then the "fairy descending" is to put the tea leaves into the tea set; Next is the "Alpine Flowing Water", which raises the boiling water and flushes it into the teapot.

The spring breeze blows the face, is to use the lid or lid of the cup to gently scrape off the floating white foam in the cup, and so on, each technique has a name, Kong Guifei used her hand to make a jade, elegant will be unheard of "make tea", like a dance to interpret again.

Chen Shubao watched quietly, watching the loose tea that exuded aroma turn into fragrant tea after one technique after another.

The tea buds in the teacup are blooming, the leaf veins are green, like pieces of jade dancing, the tea is yellow and green, the lips and teeth of the drink are fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, Chen Shubao squinted his eyes and recalled the tea fragrance that he had never tasted, and unconsciously fell into a trance.

"Good, good! It's a good tea, it's a good Xiyangchun, it's really good! ā€

When he opened his eyes, Chen Shubao smiled: "Everyone, Aiqing, hurry up and taste this Xiyang Spring!" ā€

The palace maids presented the brewed tea to everyone present, and after the white-haired Mr. Jiang tasted it carefully, he sincerely admired: "Official, Weichen has never tasted such a good tea!" ā€

"The best tea in the world is made of group tea, Wechen has never seen such loose tea, and has never seen the method of 'making tea', and now it is an eye-opener."

Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing couldn't help but admire, half flattering and half sincere, they really hadn't seen loose tea and tea brewing, this kind of tea, the flavor is much stronger than common boiled tea.

There is no need to add ingredients, and you can directly taste the aroma of tea, which is back to basics!

Kong Fan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The official family likes it, so Weichen can finally put his mind at ease, this tea-making technique, the noble concubine has practiced for a long time." ā€

"Aifei's tea art is really eye-catching, I have been drinking tea for decades, and I never thought that tea could be brewed, nor did I expect that making tea can have such a wonderful technique."

Chen Shubao said here and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ā€

"Official, the best is yet to come." Kong Guifei said delicately, the technique of practicing for many days came in handy, and she was relieved.

"Aifei said that there is still a wonderful thing in the future? I don't know what's the trick? ā€

"The official, the pot of tea that the concubine just made, the tea is yellow-green, and the tea that will be brewed for a while is another color."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Quick, concubine, hurry up and make tea, let me see what color it is! ā€

Seeing that Chen Shubao was so happy, Zhang Lihua, who was also happy, added a sentence: "Don't be in a hurry, the official family should work slowly, and Sister Kong can't make good tea if she is in a hurry." ā€

"Yes, yes, Concubine Ai take her time and make tea slowly."

Kong Guifei performed the "tea art", and no one can match the limelight today, but Zhang Lihua didn't care at all, because her son had been made the prince, which was the most important thing.

Of course, the tea that Kong Guifei "brewed" today is really delicious, Zhang Lihua has never tasted such a fragrant tea, and she can't help but be interested in this unique loose tea.

Xiyang Spring? Could it be the tea produced in Xiyang, Jiangbei?

After a while, the pot of tea newly brewed by Concubine Kong had been divided, and Chen Shubao took the teacup and looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The tea is actually red?" ā€

In the milky white teacup, the red soup and red leaves, accompanied by the fragrant fragrance, look pleasing to the eye, smell refreshing, taste a sip is still the aftertaste of the mouth, he never thought that tea without ingredients can have such a beautiful color.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Chen Shubao stroked his palms and laughed again, and after everyone present saw and tasted the fragrant tea of this red soup and red leaves, they were also full of praise: "The tea is actually red and green, and Weichen is eye-opening today." ā€

The guest of honor was happy, Kong Fan and Kong Guifei exchanged glances, they were both relieved, with a smile on their faces, and their hearts were also happy, this was a "performance" carefully prepared by him and Kong Guifei, and now it really made the Son of Heaven happy, and it was not in vain.

King Xiyang's idea is really good! (To be continued.) )
