Chapter 419: Tribute Tea
? Tang Xie and the others were depressed, and suddenly there was such a Zhao Gongzi who came out to help them out of the siege, and invited them to the royal observation tower to watch the scenery, which was big enough.
Not only can they get back the face they lost before, but they can also point out the country from the viewing tower in the scenery, Tang Xie and others don't want to miss such a meeting.
"Yongning, let's go up together, it's hard to be gracious!" Han Yu also came over to say something.
Zhao Yuanxuan looked at Ji Ning coldly and said, "Brother Ji, you won't give me face now, right?" ”
Ji Ning knew that he couldn't get angry with a fifteen-year-old girl, so he nodded and said, "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for please, then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
A few people followed Zhao Yuanxuan upstairs together, and before they arrived upstairs, a few people found a problem, there were no guests in this observation building, even there were few miscellaneous servants, only the stairs on each floor stood attendants, these people were all armed with knives, and it was obvious that these people were not small.
Tang Xie was still keen to come up before, but at this time he muttered and said, "Yongning, there won't be any problems, right?" ”
"What could be the problem? This was originally the observation tower of the royal family, shouldn't it be arranged like this? Ji Ning said.
"That's right, but ...... I always feel a little infiltrating, can't there be a knife and axe hidden in it? Tang Xie was a little unnatural.
A group finally went upstairs, a refreshing wind blew when boarding, although the building is a little cool, but the scenery is also excellent, several people can feel relaxed.
A man stood up opposite, walked over with a smile, and said, "If it's really Yongning, you were not wrong just now!" ”
When Tang Xie and the others saw the person in front of them, they almost thought that they had seen it wrong, and they looked at it clearly, who was not the prince of Chongwang?
"His Royal Highness?" Tang Xie and the others hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be polite, you are all friends of Yongning, that is, friends under you, come, come over and have a cup of tea together!" Zhao Yuanqi greeted him very warmly, and invited Ji Ning to the table, only then did he notice that there was another person, this person was very strange to Tang Xie and others, but Ji Ning was familiar with it, it was Princess Ren Zhao Yuanrong.
"This ......" Ji Ning didn't know what to call at this time.
Zhao Yuanxuan was called "Zhao Gongzi" before, Tang Xie and others must now think that this person is related to the royal family, after all, the surname Zhao is the national surname, plus this is the royal observation tower, it is natural that people with the surname Zhao can go here.
If he calls Zhao Yuanrong "Zhao Gongzi" again, then many things are tantamount to revealing stuffing.
Zhao Yuanqi smiled and said: "Yongning, let me introduce you, this is Rong Gongzi, and he is also a friend of the next generation!" ”
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Zhao Yuanrong stood up and saluted Ji Ning with a smile, with a slightly evasive look, as if he deliberately wanted to make a clear relationship with Ji Ning.
Ji Ning will not be unacquainted, he knows that he can't break Zhao Yuanrong's identity at this time, after all, Zhao Yuanrong is a princess and has an outstanding status in the court, and he definitely doesn't want others to know that she left the palace and appeared in the Beijing Poetry Club.
Ji Ning introduced Zhao Yuanqi one by one, in fact, Zhao Yuanqi is not the first time to know Tang Xie and others, these people also have a certain reputation in Jinling City, and after the township test before, Ji Ning also met Zhao Yuanqi with Tang Xie and others in Tianxianglou, and at that time they also sat down and talked about governing the country together.
Zhao Yuanqi said with a smile: "Yongning, several, please sit down, come here, prepare good tea to entertain distinguished guests!" ”
Zhao Yuanxuan didn't know what politeness was, she sat directly next to Zhao Yuanqi, and Ji Ning and the others were not easy to sit down, after all, it was rude to sit with the prince of Chongwang, and it was still so many people at one time.
"No need to be polite, please be seated! It's good to think of it as Jinling City, we are in the north, so we should help more! Zhao Yuanqi looked very polite.
Tang Xie and the others are most curious about the identity of Zhao Yuan, the "Zhao Gongzi", they are all curious about who can be friends with the prince of Chongwang, and they also appear on the viewing tower of the royal family together.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Yuanqi couldn't help but recommend to Zhao Yuanrong: "Young Master Rong, this is the Ji Ning I mentioned to you before, Ji Yongning, he is Xie Yuan of the current township examination in Jinling City, and this time he came to the capital to catch the exam!" ”
"Luckily!" Zhao Yuanrong smiled and saluted.
Ji Ning arched back, Zhao Yuanqi smiled and said: "Yongning's talent is excellent, I have heard a lot of his insights on governing the country before, which are admirable, this son also happens to want to recruit talented people, originally wanted to ask Yongning to help, but unfortunately his ambition lies in the temple, and he wants to achieve something in academia in the future, which makes this son quite regretful!" ”
Zhao Yuanrong thought that Ji Ning refused to agree to her solicitation, but agreed to Zhao Yuanqi, but after hearing Zhao Yuanqi's words, her expression improved slightly, and she nodded slightly: "The man's ambition is also admirable!" ”
A few words, all of which were said to Ji Ning, Tang Xie and the others would feel a little embarrassed when they sat next to them, but when they looked out from the building of the observation tower, the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance still made them feel heroic, and they didn't care that they were left out in the cold.
Soon, the fragrant tea was handed over, and Zhao Yuanqi said: "Yongning, how about tasting this tea?" Come, all of you, please! ”
was slapped by Ji Ning, and Zhao Yuanqi realized that he had ignored Tang Xie and the others next to him.
After drinking tea together, Tang Xie and the others obviously did not taste the uniqueness of the tea, and even after Ji Ning tasted it, he also felt that this tea was very ordinary.
Zhao Yuanxuan said angrily: "Don't count it, this is tribute tea!" ”
"Tribute tea?" Ji Ning was still a little surprised, it stands to reason that the tribute tea can only be enjoyed by the emperor, and the princes and ministers are not qualified to enjoy it, and now it is actually taken out by the prince of Chongwang to entertain guests?
"It's indeed tribute tea!" Zhao Yuanqi explained, "This is a reward from His Majesty, it's not much, I came to invite Rong Gongzi today, and I brought a little bit of it, the arrival of Yongning and a few brothers, it's just a coincidence!" ”
"Where is this tribute tea? We'd like to try it! ”
Tang Xie and the others didn't think that tea was a good thing, but when they knew that it was tribute tea, the taste of it suddenly changed.
Ji Ning asked curiously, "Where is this tribute tea?" ”
According to Ji Ning's knowledge, there are not many types of tribute tea in the Dayong Dynasty, and he can still know some of them, but this kind of tea is somewhat similar to grass when drunk, and it really lacks the taste of tribute tea, and it can't even compare to ordinary tea.
"This ...... I don't know about it. Zhao Yuanqi said, "Who dares to ask more about the things that are given by the emperor?" ”
Ji Ningxin felt strange.
There seem to be only two possibilities, one is that the emperor has a special taste for tea on weekdays, and likes some tea from peculiar origins.
There is also a possibility that the tribute tea given to King Chong was secretly packaged, but King Chong didn't know about it.
