The concubines settled down, and then they welcomed the queen mother to enjoy the scenery and laugh in the garden. One step at a time, comparable to the Suzhou garden, is truly "a hundred acres of ponds and ten acres of flowers, and the green branches of the old trees".

The Queen Mother and others were tired of walking, so they rested in the Liuxiang Pavilion along the lake, interpreting that in order to amuse the Queen Mother, they kicked the shuttlecock in the pavilion.

The shuttlecock seemed to have taken root at Xie Yi's ankle, and she was allowed to kick in various fancy ways, which made people look full of joy.

Concubine Ling smiled lightly: "In the end, it is good to be young, Lafayette, you see how flexible her body is, if she changes her concubine, I am afraid that she will flash her waist." ”

The concubines praised one after another, and the more they kicked, the more cheerful they became, a carp jumped over the dragon gate, and the shuttlecock flew straight out as if it had inserted its wings.

Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the shuttlecock, and it was regrettable that the last kick was about to miss, but unexpectedly, the shuttlecock did not hit the ground, but happened to be intercepted by the passing emperor.

Xie Yi watched the emperor walk towards her, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave greets the emperor." ”

The emperor smiled at her and returned the shuttlecock to her.

The concubines stood up to greet each other, and the Queen Mother laughed loudly: "The emperor is back so soon?" Just right, sit with us for a while and drink tea. ”

The emperor said that, he looked at Yingyun with scattered eyes, and sat down beside her.

Concubine Ling smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the tea art of the interpreting girl is good, you can taste it." ”

The emperor looked at her with a smile and said, "The granddaughter of the elder of the pavilion, I have also heard of it, and when I saw it today, it was really beautiful and refined. ”

Xie Yi saluted again, ordered someone to bring up the tea set, washed a pair of Qianqian jade hands, and immediately boiled tea.

The tea ceremony pays attention to the beauty of the five realms, tea, tea, heat, tea utensils, and environment, all of which are indispensable. The tea leaves used in the solution are the newly picked Ming Qian Longjing this year, and the tea is the snow water collected on the plum blossoms in winter, and the water has a dark fragrance.

After a while, she filled the tea with a refreshing white porcelain open cup, held it in front of the emperor with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

The emperor took the cup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, tasted it carefully, and praised it with satisfaction: "Good tea!" The Han people pay attention to the tea ceremony, and we are full of people only after entering the customs to know the artistic conception of tea tasting. ”

Xie Yi smiled and said: "The tea art of the Han people has a long history, and the slaves compared the "Book of Tea" handed down by Lu Yu, and the shallow skills made the emperor and the ladies laugh. ”

The emperor said in high spirits: "Do you like Lu Yu? ”

Explained: "The slave likes his integrity, 'I don't envy the golden jade, I don't envy the white jade cup; Do not envy the province of the dynasty, do not envy the stage at dusk; Envy the water of the West River, once came down to Jingling City. Although the slave is a boudoir woman, my grandfather always said that women should also have integrity. ”

"Well said!" The emperor cast a look of approval at her and said, "She is worthy of being the granddaughter of the elder of the pavilion." ”

Concubine Ling smiled meaningfully, and said: "The girl is as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, making people so pitiful, Your Majesty, do you say?" ”

The emperor smiled noncommittally, glanced at Yingyun secretly, and saw her roll her eyes at him, adding a little more to his smile.

The Queen Mother relieved the siege in a timely manner and said: "Concubine Ling, don't make fun, you understand the girl's family, but you will be red-faced by you!" ”

Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Yes, the concubine just looked at her and was happy." ”。

Everyone chatted a few words in the pavilion, and when the Queen Mother became tired, she sent the Queen Mother back to her room to rest and dispersed.
