CHAPTER XXV
Xue Xuan intended to please Long Chuxia, showing that she was better at being a person than Concubine Qin, so after the concubines left, she stepped forward and saluted: "The Queen Mother, the courtiers see that the mother likes to drink tea, and it just so happens that the courtiers have brewed tea with their father since they were young, so it is better for the courtiers to make a pot for the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother for her guidance."
Concubine Qin didn't expect her to make such a move, and she didn't have time to stop it for a while, for fear that Long Chuxia would see her appearance and be angry for a while, so she looked at Long Chuxia worriedly
Long Chuxia said: "Oh? Concubine Qin, isn't it? ”
Concubine Qin had to say: "My sister has indeed made tea for her father since she was a child, but her skills are not very good, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the golden mouth of the Queen Mother."
"If you can't get in, you have to try it to know" Long Chuxia said lightly, she turned her head to Xiao Xun and said, "Take Xue Xuan in!" ”
Xue Xuan was slightly stunned, the Queen Mother actually knew her name? She glanced back at Concubine Qin in some surprise, Concubine Qin's face was pale, and she was looking at her Queen Mother helplessly, she secretly sneered in her heart, and followed Xiao Xun into the inner hall
Seeing her enter, Concubine Qin didn't care about the presence of Concubine De and the queen, knelt on the ground uneasily, and choked up: "The queen mother ......."
Long Chuxia didn't wait for her to finish, and said reproachfully: "Concubine Qin, what are you doing here?" Hurry up, your sister will make tea for the palace, even if it doesn't taste good, the palace won't punish it, you just go back and teach it yourself" Her words were so clear that they couldn't be hinted at, she meant that she wouldn't deal with your sister, your sister's grievances, you shouldn't have a sister to solve it yourself Of course, there is also a sentence that Long Chuxia didn't say, that is, if you don't deal with it, she will make a move, but, it won't be this time
The queen also smiled and said, "Yes, Concubine Qin, what are you doing here?" Although you love your sister like your life, the Queen Mother is not a big worm that eats people, what are you afraid of? ”
Concubine De didn't make a sound, but looked at Concubine Qin quietly
Concubine Qin had to stand up in fear, sit back in her chair, and wait anxiously
After about a quarter of an hour, I saw Xiao Xun walking out with a cup of tea, followed by Xue Xuan with a smile on his face
Xiao Xun handed over the tea, Long Chuxia took it, lifted the quilt, gently blew the end of the tea, took a sip slightly, and praised: "Good tea, Concubine Qin, your sister is ingenious, should you study with her, or do you also have a good hand of tea, but you don't want to serve the palace, right?" ”
Concubine Qin said in fear: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine doesn't like to drink tea, so she didn't learn this craft, if the queen mother likes it, the concubine will learn it immediately."
Xue Xuan smiled slightly, "If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, more courtiers will enter the palace to make tea for the Queen Mother in the future."
Long Chuxia looked at her with a smile and said, "If you don't dislike it, how can you dislike it?" It's just that I want you to run on both sides, and I've worked hard for you."
Xue Xuan was slightly blessed, smiled softly and said: "Serving the Queen Mother is a blessing that has been cultivated by courtiers for several generations, how can it be hard?" She raised her eyebrows at Concubine Qin with some pride, and Concubine Qin only felt that her heart was constantly sinking and sinking.......
Concubine De said lightly: "Concubine Qin's health is not good, as a younger sister, you should also enter the palace to see her more and take care of her."
Xue Xuan looked at Concubine De and smiled slightly: "Concubine De's mother has taught her a lesson, and the courtiers will remember it."
Concubine De was stunned, a lesson? It seems that this woman's scheming is definitely not simple, she just said it casually, she actually pulled the lesson so lightly, which made the Queen Mother listen to it, and she may still think that she is jealous It's just that Concubine De has never been concerned with others, and now although she is dissatisfied with Xue Xuan in her heart, she didn't show it, she only nodded slightly
"The emperor has arrived!" There was a shrill voice from a eunuch at the door
Xue Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe cross the threshold, and walked in with a smile, her eyes did not stay on him, but fell on the man wearing a black brocade robe behind him, his face was thin, his eyebrows were thick as ink, and his facial features were as sharp as ice sculptures, looking at him, her heart suddenly beat violently as if it was being beaten, and a painful voice in her chest almost broke out of the wall, "It's him, it's him, the person you've been looking for for a long time, it's him!" ”
Long Chuxia was slightly stunned, looked at the man in black and smiled gently, "Why are you here?" ”
The person who came was Feng Xiaoxiao, and he responded as he walked in: "Yes, Qingping said that he had something to discuss with me, so he discussed it in the imperial study for a while."
"See the emperor!" The queen led Concubine Qin to salute, Xue Xuan had seen the emperor several times before, and she was no stranger, but now she was a little depressed, and it wasn't until Concubine Qin pulled her that she came back to her senses to salute
The emperor also said happily: "No courtesy! He glanced at Xue Xuan and said, "Mrs. Chen has also entered the palace?" ”
Xue Xuan replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers entered the palace to greet the queen mother."
The emperor was very appreciative and said, "Okay, you have this filial piety, which is worthy of praise."
Feng Xiaoxiao sat next to Long Chuxia, Long Chuxia moved to the side, the two sat side by side, the queen and Concubine De Qinfei had never seen Feng Xiaoxiao, although he didn't know his identity now, but seeing Long Chuxia's actions, he could also guess a rough idea, but what surprised the two of them was that this emperor was not much older than the emperor, but the kind of mature and steady, deep and introverted in action, but it was not comparable to the emperor
It's just that now the three of them don't know what to call them, so they stand there stiffly, a little embarrassed
Long Chuxia smiled: "He is the emperor's father, and naturally he is also your father."
When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly knelt down: "See my father!" "Originally, it should be the queen who is qualified to call this father, but since Long Chuxia has already spoken, everyone is no longer formal, and they also call their father
Feng Xiao smiled slightly: "Well, no courtesy!" ”
Xue Xuan looked at Feng Xuan and smiled stupidly, only feeling that he was familiar, but racking her brains, she couldn't remember where she had seen him and see him sitting with Long Chuxia, and a thousand anger suddenly rose in her heart, and that anger was burning, making her almost want to burn
Seeing her like this, Concubine Qin hurriedly pulled her to retire, where was she willing to go, so she said: "Niangniang, since the emperor and the emperor are here, it is better to let the people make another pot of tea, so that the emperor and the emperor can warm up!" In this way, it is already extremely rude, Feng Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, very disgusted that he was the lord of hell, and now looking at her eyebrows, it seems that she has seen some clues, but she is not very sure, so she said: "Go!" ”
Xue Xuan was flattered, quickly saluted, and then asked Xiao Xun to take her into the inner hall
She brewed two cups of tea, but she looked at Feng Xuan and drank tea with a smile, this kind of strangeness, everyone present saw it, Xiao Xun was angry and learned that she couldn't wait to push her out Concubine Qin was worried, seeing that her sister was out of shape, and she didn't know what she was thinking, plus she had a grudge against her before, so she said in her ear: "Follow me immediately, otherwise you don't want to enter the palace in the future!" ”
Xue Xuan was startled, glanced at Concubine Qin angrily, saw her face was pale, and knew that she was really coming, so she restrained her expression and bowed with Concubine Qin
