008 Tea smokes, conspiracies emerge one after another
◣ Latest Chapter Baidu Search ◢╰╮ Good Ruoshu Bar╭╯ Bai Pengfei left Zhaoyang Hall and walked outside the palace. The cold sunlight of the morning sun poured down from the vast sky. The nine-fold palace dotted in front of you is reflected in a picturesque way. Not like the world. And it's in a pavilion not far away. A shadow smashed into his eyeball.
The woman knelt in a long skirt of Shu brocade in the color of the Hunan concubine and sat in the banquet. Playing with the neatly arranged tea ceremony in front of him. The blue and blue skirt pleats flow to the ground like a river of spring water. Dressed in a white gauze coat. Revealing a well-defined neck and a clear and delicate collarbone. The green silk is pulled into a flowing cloud bun. One by one, the golden steps are swayed in a regular manner. The golden spike hangs low. With the action of her fiddling with the tea set. Gently slapped in the face. More and more graceful and feminine.
It's hearty. Or unintentionally. Bai Pengfei didn't have time to think about it. Hurriedly turned around and walked back. Then. The woman in the pavilion raised her face slightly. Looking at the white back of his shirt. Laughed softly: "Big Brother Bai. Sit down and have a cup of tea and let's go."
This soft whisper. Like droplets of water dripping cold from a very high place. Every drop fell on his long-sealed heart. In an instant. Scenes of the past swept through his mind. As a result, Bai Pengfei struggled a little. After all, it stopped. Turned and walked over to her.
A farewell for many years. She's as glamorous as ever. Just as he did when he first met her. The beauty amazed him. And she called "Big Brother Bai" at the moment. and as gentle as ever. But now the two have a clear disparity in identity. There is no longer the same match as a talented man and a woman. Jiang Yan, who was outstanding in talent when he was a teenager, has walked out of his life. And the one in front of you. It's just a noble and glamorous noble concubine.
"The last general has seen Concubine Jiang. Niang Niang auspicious." Bai Pengfei couldn't hide his embarrassment and saluted. Lowered eyebrows and didn't look at her expression. But a feeling of doubt sprouted in my heart. With her knowledge of Jiang Yan. It should be okay to go to the Three Treasures Palace. And this is a chance encounter. Or did she wait here on purpose? Even he himself is a little uncertain.
"Big Brother Bai sits." Jiang Yan raised her eyes. Smile as shallow as water. Relative to Bai Pengfei's embarrassment. She was calm between her eyebrows. Pick up a wooden spoon made of mahogany and scoop the tea leaves into the bowl. Then pour boiling water from a pot next to it. Suddenly. The ethereal steam carries the fragrance of tea and rises. So that people's hearts are gradually precipitated in the smoke of tea.
A long-lost sense of familiarity hit the desolation in Bai Pengfei's chest. Let his ups and downs gradually return to tranquility. Looking at Jiang Yan who was repeatedly making tea. Slowly asked the doubts in his heart: "Your concubine Niangniang is specially waiting for the last general here."
Jiang Yan ignored his questioning. Just bow your head and concentrate on cooking tea. Her movements are light and elegant. The pot holder is between the fingers. It's as light as a piece of tissue paper. Press the kettle button with the middle finger of your left hand. The water flows down leisurely. Wrist drive fingers. It's like tracing a delicate painting. Little by little. One stroke of a stroke from the bottom of my heart.
Finally. She will serve a small bowl of tea. Gently push it in front of Bai Pengfei. Ying Ying smiled lightly: "This tea is a tribute to the green top. You need to use mountains and rivers to soak. Ordinary tea three times has been able to produce flavor. The green top needs to be soaked seven times. to bring out its taste. And you can't drink it hot. To wait quietly for the tea to sink and float. Wait until the teacup is cool. The tea leaves are slowly rolled up before they can be tasted. Only in this way will the taste be sweet and lasting. If the tea leaves are in a different form. The tea will be slightly bitter. But bitter but not astringent. Bitter and sweet. It's also a wonderful taste. Taste it."
Bai Pengfei looked at the slightly curly buds and leaves that sank to the bottom of the cup. Suddenly, the heart was rolled up with a small fold in the page. Take a sip of tea. I just feel fragrant. I couldn't help but praise: "The top grade in the green top. It is known as the 'green pearl' in tea. It's a must."
Jiang Yan smiled lightly. Suddenly, he was depressed and said: "In fact, cooking tea is the same as being a person. Taken from. Water use. Choose a tea set to master the temperature of the water and heat. Every process is wrong. Otherwise, it will affect the taste in the tea. There will even be a slight negligence. It spoiled a good cup of tea."
Bai Pengfei was stunned. In an instant, she tasted the meaning of her words. Fingers caress the rim of the tea bowl. Light smile." Thank you for your advice. The last general will abide by his duty. You can't go wrong."
Jiang Yan saw that he didn't care. Immediately said in an extremely nervous voice: "The emperor is now making things difficult for you everywhere. If you don't know what to do with Shen nobles. Sooner or later, the emperor will be completely angered. I know his temper best. That's a man who can't hold half a grain of sand in his eyes."
Bai Pengfei sneered: "Now the noble people are closed to thank the guests. The last general also plans to stop walking around the palace in the future. As for the emperor. Desire to add sin. There is no excuse. After all, the Bai family is the old ministry of Emperor Xuanwen. It's only a matter of time before he moves me. In short, the soldiers will block. Water comes to cover the earth. Whatever he wants."
The smell of tea curls with warm white smoke. Like a light veil, Jiang Yan's beautiful face was covered in mist. I only heard her voice vaguely sad: "What is so good about that Shen nobleman. Not only did he get the favor of Emperor Xuanwen in every way. also fascinated the current emperor. and is so deeply attached to Big Brother Bai. It's so envious."
Beauty is like a flower. The fragrance of tea through the mist. But when I saw her face full of sorrow. More beautiful. There was a trace of pity in Bai Pengfei's eyes: "Don't say that. You only see the superficial scenery of Shen Guiren. In fact, she has a lot of unspeakable pain in her heart. It's something that no one else can understand."
"No one else can understand it. But Big Brother Bai, you can understand. Be able to experience. Isn't it?" Jiang Yan sneered. The eyes are full of jealousy and sorrow. Qi said: "Big Brother Bai. You'd better hurry up and start a family. This is also a good way to reduce the emperor's hatred for you. The swallow is also looking at the love of the past. I came to persuade him. But that's all I can say."
"The kindness of your concubine. The last general has a heart." The smile in Bai Pengfei's eyes. As faint as the shallow light and shadow falling on the branches and leaves: "It's really a last resort. I will consider your concubine's proposal."

And in another place. The moon charm stands quietly not far from the pavilion. eavesdropped on Jiang Yan and Bai Pengfei having a conversation that didn't match.
She was wearing a gorgeous white butterfly purple brocade robe. Wearing red gold flying phoenix gold step shaking. The hanging crushed gold tassels shimmer in the daylight. Such a luxurious and flamboyant dress. than the beautiful pavilions behind her. And three points of beauty.
And beside her. Standing is the delicate Xilinyan. After the death of Emperor Xuanwen. She became Wen Hao's concubine. The son she gave birth to naturally fell into Wen Hao's name. But after all, the child is not his own. I'm getting old. Never been called to chance. Empty has the title of concubine. But no one is looking at her.
So she had to take refuge in some concubines with capital. The queen is unattainable. She couldn't help herself. And Ming Shen is the most favored. but they are the enmity of their family. There is only one Jiang Guifei left, who is arrogant and arrogant. That's why she chose Concubine Yue as her backer.
Because Moon Mei has been following the emperor's concubine since childhood. The relationship is naturally extraordinary. And it just so happens that she is a woman with no background. So her background in the Xilin family. It just complements it. That's why. After Yue Mei entered the palace, she and Xi Linyan hit it off. Since then, the two have had a great relationship.
Moon Charm turned her head to look at Xilin Yan. asked, "Did you hear what Concubine Jiang said?"
Xilinyan helped the tourmaline hairpin flower in her ear. replied: "It seems to be persuading Bai Shaoqing to stay away from Shen Guiren. I'm afraid he'll be killed."
Moon Charm snorted coldly. Pretty face instantly frosted: "It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true. Shen Guiren and this Bai Pengfei must have a personal relationship."
Xilinyan covered her mouth with a handkerchief. chuckled, "What's more. Bai Pengfei used to be a fox for the noble people. I have done a lot of things that violate the rules of the palace. Especially when the Shen nobles were still waiting for Emperor Xuande. The two of them looked at each other in Wutong Garden. Same in and out together. I don't know how to avoid suspicion."
Yuemei Xing's eyes narrowed slightly: "According to what you say. Shen Guiren should also care about this Bai Pengfei."
Xi Linyan nodded and said, "It should be. It is said that when Bai Pengfei was bedridden. Shen Guiren also personally went to the Admiral's Mansion to visit the sick. The two hugged each other in front of the flower hall of Zhanpeng Hall. Intense kissing. I was caught by my brother."
The moon charm provokes a willow-like green eyebrow. said to Xi Linyan: "I've heard my sister mention this too. I just didn't expect them to be so unbearable. Since she cares about that Bai Pengfei. You're going to tell your brother tomorrow. Let him give Bai Pengfei any crime. Refer to him in a joint book."
Xi Linyan listened. His face changed and he asked, "But the emperor is so shrewd. Can you believe it?"
The snow-white fingers of the moon charm twisted a wisp of green silk that hung diagonally on her chest. The corners of Danhong's lips rose slightly: "The emperor is eating Bai Pengfei's vinegar. Your brother is playing at this time. It can be said that he has fallen into the hands of the emperor. And the noble man is here. As long as she dares to intercede for Bai Pengfei. The emperor will definitely be annoyed with her."
Xi Linyan said worriedly: "Then what if the noble people don't go."
Yuemei said confidently: "Impossible. I used to spend some time with her. She's a person who values love and righteousness. Even if she is right or wrong about Bai Pengfei, it is about Fengyue. will also lay down his life to intercede. When the time comes, the emperor looks at the woman he loves and is bent on others. Naturally, I will come to this palace with a change of heart."
Xi Linyan heard this. couldn't help but praise: "Concubine Yue is so calculating. Your mind is so delicate. It's about people. No wonder you can have a special room in Prince Rui's mansion. Even a stunning talent like Concubine Jiang is not as good as you."
Moon Charm blushed. She turned around shyly. Sister Yan Fei will make fun of me. Ignore you. Remember to get things done right."
Xi Linyan stepped forward and took her arm. smiled and said, "You can rest assured. Ever since Shen Guiren framed my brother in front of Emperor Xuanwen. We almost harmed the nine clans of our Xilin family. My brother hated her to the core. Don't care about anything else. Deal with this prudent nobleman. He's sure a hundred hearts."
