Chapter 118: Filial piety

Luoyang Palace is already full of lights, and the ministers who wish for their birthday are pressed and there is no end in sight.

Qin Shaoyou is just a little doctor, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the Vientiane Divine Palace to worship his birthday, he is wearing a new official robe, mixed in with the crowd, and looks so inconspicuous.

However, there are also some people who know him, and they whisper to the people next to him while looking at him a few times, of course Qin Shaoyou doesn't care about this.

At noon, the ministers of the outer world retreated after celebrating their birthdays, and Qin Shaoyou began to leave the palace with the flow of people.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came over and said, "Dr. Qin, which is Dr. Qin......

So countless eyes fell on Qin Shaoyou's body, and Qin Shaoyou stopped and said, "Xia Guan is." ”

"The sage has a word, please enter the Ming Hall."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, turned around and walked towards the Ming Hall.

Mingtang has long been newly decorated, and the just right decoration everywhere makes people overwhelmed. When Qin Shaoyou entered the hall, he saw many acquaintances.

Those who can accompany Wu Zetian here to celebrate his birthday are all top figures in the court.

Qin Shaoyou is familiar with a lot, Cui Jing, Shangguan Wan'er, Li Lingyue, Wu Chengsi, Lai Junchen, in addition, there are many fresh faces, just seeing that their old gods are there, they still look free and easy in front of the saints, and they are all high-powered figures.

Qin Shaoyou came in, and everyone looked at him curiously, after all, it was a bit unexpected for someone like Qin Shaoyou to come in with a silver turtle bag.

At the place near the door were already placed a table and a kneeling futon. Qin Shaoyou knelt behind the case.

At this time, seeing Wu Zetian's joy, he said, "Zhuqing is really bothered, I am there." It's a year old again, and people are old, and you still have to remember it. ”

After that, he smiled and said: "Actually, this time, it is said that Yue'er has put a lot of thought into giving me a surprise, Yue'er, you can talk about it." ”

Li Lingyue came out. He saluted and said, "Mother." Erchen is stupid, where can he have so many thoughts, but when the mother and queen have a big birthday, how can Erchen be lazy. So I found Dr. Qin and asked him to work as a consultant, Dr. Qin knew that the mother emperor liked the Buddha and was good and elegant, so he and his sons made a thing and asked the mother to taste it. ”

"Oh?" Wu Zetian became interested and looked at Li Lingyue curiously.

The ministers in this hall couldn't help but set their eyes on Qin Shaoyou.

Many people suddenly realized something.

It is said that Qin Shaoyou is close to Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping and is suspected of having a personal relationship, but Princess Taiping is not taboo about her relationship with Qin Shaoyou. As a result, everyone is a little suspicious of this private affair. It's not Princess Taiping preparing gifts, and this Qin Shaoyou is said to have a lot of tricks. That's when we got together, in order to prepare a gift?

So......

No wonder......

No wonder Zhou Xing was suddenly convicted, and his life and death are still unknown.

Many people have a sense of enlightenment.

It's just that...... Do you need to stay at the princess's mansion in order to prepare gifts? That's not unavoidable...... It's still a bit far-fetched.

At this time, I heard Wu Zetian say: "Show me what kind of gift it is, I have something to say first." If I don't like it, I'll be angry. ”

Li Lingyue smiled. But he stretched out his slender hand and patted it.

A crisp palm sound came out, and at this time, several palace people cautiously carried a few sons in.

Everyone was even more suspicious and stretched out their heads to look.

Immediately, another eunuch moved a small stove, and there was a fire in the furnace, Li Lingyue bent down and personally scooped the clear spring water in the kettle on the side into the pot on the stove.

Everyone saw a few tea sets, and they knew in their hearts that Her Royal Highness the princess was going to make tea, and many people felt that it was wonderful, although the princess did not have any new ideas, it was just to make tea for the saint herself, but after all, the princess was also a daughter, and she personally made tea for her mother, which is indeed much more precious than simply offering pearls and jade.

But...... If it's just the idea of boiling tea, although it is novel, it can indeed see the intentions of Qin Shaoyou and Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Qin Shaoyou stays in the princess's mansion, it is still difficult to explain, Qin Shaoyou has an idea, why be so close?

At the moment when everyone was suspicious, someone found a difference, because Li Lingyue did not put the tea into the boiling kettle, it is really strange, this water is about to be boiled, and the tea and salt and ginger, orange peel, mint, dates and other things are not put in, when will it be?

Some people even found that there was no ginger, salt, orange peel on this coffee table, and there was not even a mashed tea ball.

You know, the tea of this era is to mash the tea leaves into a ball, and then add various condiments to boil, the drinker directly drinks all the tea, this way of drinking tea is similar to the Mongolian butter tea, but the Mongolian Tibetans just like to add milk and other things.

Tea in this era is far from being cultural, or endowed with some kind of elegant meaning, in essence, it is nothing more than because rich and noble families generally want to eat mutton, and these meats are often difficult to digest, must eat tea, dredge the stomach, as for adding orange peel, salt, mint, dates and the like, it is nothing more than according to individual tastes.

Although this is also called tea, the essence is actually just soup, a soup with tea.

And now, Li Lingyue waited until the water boiled, and then carefully took off the pot, untied the lid of the pot, and the boiling hot water suddenly rose white mist, she was not in a hurry, but gently picked up a tea cup, the tea cup was a little weird, round, big mouthful, and a treasure lid on it, and then, Li Lingyue took out a paper bag from the side, and opened the paper bag, but it was a green and black leaf-like thing.

"This ...... It's tea ......."

Many are even more suspicious.

Because in their cognition, the so-called tea is nothing more than a pounded tea ball, slimy, like a small briquette.

And what Li Lingyue took out was completely different from the tea that everyone knew.

When Li Lingyue took it out, she introduced: "Mother Emperor, this is Qin Shaoyou's tea, this tea is called Princess Tea, all the tea leaves are two or three leaves of ripe new shoots, and then specially made, the biggest effect of this tea is to refresh the mind, the mother emperor usually works hard for state affairs, it is very hard, if you usually eat more of this tea, not only can you prolong life, but also dredge the stomach and intestines, and beautify your face." The most important thing is ......" Li Lingyue blinked and said: "The mother queen will know after a while, and she will know when she tastes it." ”

As he spoke, after the boiling water in the pot gradually settled, Li Lingyue put the tea leaves into the coffee table and brewed with water.

When she brewed, her figure leaned slightly, the tea came out of the spout, the tall and thin water slanted out, the hot water entered the cup, and the tea suddenly tumbled, and bursts of white smoke rose up.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but straighten, just because of the kind of beauty that Li Lingyue showed, and then intertwined with the tea leaves and hot water in this cup, there was an indescribable feeling.

Such elegance, indifference, tranquility and the gentle sound of water are so wonderful.

It seems that all of a sudden, everyone has returned to the countryside in the Book of Poetry, and it seems to feel the leisurely and carefree feeling of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Since the past dynasties, whether it is a celebrity or a high-ranking man, what he pursues is not that kind of noise, which is the atmosphere that has evolved from the pre-Qin period to the present, after countless tempering.

Thereupon...... There was a song in the poetry that the doctors chanted in their idle mouths, 'Rank and rank Sigan, secluded South Mountain.' Such as bamboo buds, such as pine trees. So there was the deep mountain indulgence of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Tao Yuanming's chrysanthemum picking went southeast, and Cui Jing sat in the grass house.

This kind of elegance in the bones is indescribable, but now...... This is the feeling, Li Lingyue's every move, and the clear boiling water quietly falling, the boiling water melts the dry and hard tea leaves, and the tea leaves begin to stretch, isn't this kind of quiet change?

The people in the hall held their breath.

In this noisy birthday, there was an extremely quiet scene, and this elegant feeling made people feel relaxed in a trance.

And the moment they began to breathe, a fresh fragrance came out.

This fragrance is not strong, but it seems to surround the tip of the nose, as if it is absent, but it lingers.

This feeling is like this again, and with this simple tea fragrance, this feeling begins to get worse.

From the very beginning, this 'new' thing did not give people any sense of disobedience, because this thing itself fits in with the things in the bones of the people here.

Fragrant...... It's so fragrant.

Our ancestors obviously didn't like that kind of strong fragrance, so they could never make the best perfume in the world, they pursued such a simple taste, such a little fragrance in the plain.

And this kind of tea fragrance, let people inhale gently, as if they are in the mountains and flowing water, on the side of the gurgling stream, burning incense and playing the piano, listening to the birds, feeling the slightest fragrance, this feeling makes people crispy to the bones.

Call......

Li Lingyue exhaled a long breath, and the corners of her forehead were already oozing fine fragrant sweat.

If such a noble world, who has no distinction between grains and grains, and wants to make tea, everyone present can immediately imagine how much effort she has spent on learning.

Thereupon...... The truth is right in front of you.

The so-called Dr. Qin's stay in the princess's mansion day and night is not a personal affair at all, but this unprecedented tea-making process and unprecedented fresh attempt requires Qin Shaoyou to constantly correct and guide him.

It is also conceivable that in order to make this pot of tea today, Princess Taiping does not know how many times she has practiced, how much effort she has spent, and how much sweat she has shed.

And all this is just for filial piety.

At this time, if anyone thinks about whether Qin Shaoyou and the princess are together and what personal feelings they have, it will inevitably ruin the scenery and destroy the elegance of what they see and hear in front of them today.

All the gossip is self-defeating in this moment!
