Chapter Ninety-Seven: Osmanthus Oolong Tea

A few days later, Zhu Youzhu officially decreed that Zhang Yue would be canonized as the queen, and announced that a ceremony would be held a month later.

So Zhang Yue's Kunning Palace became busy and lively again, and more and more people entered the palace to meet and congratulate him, like Zhang Yue's mother Jin's family, Li Dongyang's wife, and other close people, and many princes and noblewomen also entered the palace to congratulate them.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Rites and the Master of Ceremonies, who were in charge of the post-sealing ceremony, constantly had officials visit Zhang Yue and ask for instructions on various matters.

Zhang Yue really didn't get tired of it, and many people let Xiaotong block it.

On this day, Zhang Yue was leisurely drinking tea in the room, studying the new Huarong Dao Bureau, and planned to make it difficult for Zhu Youzhu at night.

Since Zhu Youzhu easily untied her layout that day, Zhang Yue has been obsessed with setting up a game for Zhu Youzhu to solve the game, but no matter what the game, Zhu Youzhu can solve it in three clicks and two clicks. Zhang Yue secretly made up his mind that he must put on a difficult situation to stump Zhu Youjiao.

Xiaotong came in from the outside to report,

"Niangniang, the Ministry of Rites has sent an official to meet you!"

"Xiaotong, didn't I mean those people, did you block them for me? Whatever they want to ask, let them decide for themselves. ”

"Niangniang, this time is different, it's Young Master Dongyang who is here."

Zhang Yue raised his head in surprise, "It's Senior Brother who is here, hurry, invite him in." ”

After a while, Li Dongyang was wearing a scarlet court robe and a black gauze hat, and his handsome face slowly walked into the room with a smile.

Zhang Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Dongyang, and said hurriedly, "Senior brother, this is not outside, don't do these false courtesies to scold me." ”

Li Dongyang said with a smile, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, Xiao Wu, you will soon be the queen of my Ming Dynasty, it is very normal to be a courtier in the future, you have to get used to it!" ”

Zhang Yue waved his hand, "Not yet, let's talk about it later." Senior brother, sit down. I haven't seen you in a long time. After speaking, he pulled Li Dongyang and sat down.

Li Dongyang sat down with a smile and glanced at Huarong Dao on the table, "Yue'er, you're playing Huarong Dao." ”

"Yes! Senior brother, I also want to thank you for letting people send this set of jade Huarong Dao into the palace, the jade quality is all high-quality, it feels cool to the touch, and the design inside is many times more complicated than ordinary Huarong Dao. It cost you a lot of money, hehe! That is, you remember that I loved to play this since I was a child. ”

Li Dongyang's smile froze, "Yue'er, this is what Yuan Mo sent to my mansion and asked me to bring to you, this set of Huarong Dao design is so exquisite, he must have taken great pains to collect it." ”

Zhang Yue was stunned, "Yuan Mo...... Is he still angry with me now? ”

"How so? He still cares about you. ”

"Oh, but he hasn't been back to the capital?"

"Yue'er, he always has to have a digestion process, over the years, you have been in his heart... How important it is, I'm afraid you can't think of it. ”

"However, for so many years, I have treated him as a good brother."

"Alas! Who can say the word fate clearly. Don't talk about that. ”

"Senior brother, did you enter the palace to see me today because of the post-sealing ceremony?"

"Yes, I was appointed by the emperor as the chief master of ceremonies of the Queen's Ceremony, and this position should have been held by Lord Zhou Hongmo Zhou, but Lord Zhou recommended me to the emperor. I am also very willing to do this. Because I want to be the master of ceremonies for your wedding, it is also a blessing for you to get married, so I didn't refuse. ”

Zhang Yue's eyes revealed a kind of emotion, "Senior brother, since I was a child, I have caused you a lot of trouble, you have never cared, you have helped me and taken care of me without regrets." ”

"Xiao Wu, don't talk about this, you are the same as your own sister in your senior brother's heart. The emperor is a person who can be entrusted for life, and I am relieved to have him take care of you. ”

Li Dongyang seemed to think of something again, hesitated a little and said, "Little Wu, no matter what happens in the future, you just need to remember that everything Senior Brother does is for your good, don't think about anything else." ”

Zhang Yue nodded vigorously, "Of course I know this, senior brother is the best for me." ”

"It's getting late, I'm leaving."

"Well, senior brother, I'll send you!"

Zhang Yue quickly stood up, and suddenly remembered something, "Senior brother, wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he ran to the side of the cabinet, turned out a brocade box, and handed it to Li Dongyang,

"Senior brother, this is the osmanthus oolong tea I carefully made this year, and it's all here. I want to ask you to give it to Yuan Mo, that guy is just my mouthful, the taste I gave him over the years has been spoiled, I am afraid that he will be upset if he can't drink this tea for a long time. ”

Li Dongyang silently glanced at Zhang Yue and the brocade box in her hand, nodded, took the brocade box, turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and turned around, and looked at Zhang Yue with a smile,

"Little Five, tomorrow is the five-year calligraphy appreciation conference jointly organized by the four major academies in Beijing, and famous calligraphers from all over the country will gather. Oh, and I was asked to be one of the judges. ”

"Senior brother, what do you mean?!"

"Nothing." Li Dongyang glanced at Zhang Yue with a smile in his eyes, then turned around and left.

Zhang Yue looked at Li Dongyang's back, stunned for a while, and finally understood that the senior brother was afraid that he would be bored, and this kind of grand occasion must have been for him to watch the excitement. A warmth rose in my heart.

——————————————————

After Zhu Youzhu returned to Kunning Palace for dinner, he found that Zhang Yue seemed to have something to say to him today, and he stopped talking several times.

When drinking tea after dinner, he found that it was not the osmanthus oolong tea in the past, but the tribute tea in the palace, and he was strange.

"Yue'er, how to cook the palace tribute tea today."

"Oh, Your Majesty, that, Senior Brother Dongyang entered the palace today, and I let him bring all the osmanthus oolong tea to Yuan Mo."

"Oh." Zhu Youzhang's eyes were a little deep.

"You don't know, that guy was spoiled by my taste in the academy for many years, and he didn't drink any other tea except for my secret osmanthus oolong. Now he is not in Beijing. I asked my brother to bring him all the rest of the tea. ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't say anything, lowered his head and drank tea silently.

Zhang Yue asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, you wait a minute, I'll find some good dried golden osmanthus flowers in a few days, and then configure new tea for you...... That, you're angry! She gently shook Zhu Youzhang's arm.

Zhu Youzhu raised his bright eyes, stretched out his hand and dragged Zhang Yue into his arms, leaned over to look at her eyebrows, and lightly opened his lips.

"What if all the tea was given to him! The heart is enough for me. ”

Zhang Yue looked up at Zhu Youjiao's handsome face, his face was ruddy, and he was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head,

"Heart?! What heart? Don't know what you're talking about? As he spoke, he struggled out of Zhu Youjiao's arms.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the shy Zhang Yue, the corners of his lips rose, and a feeling of pleasure surged in his heart.

Zhang Yue remembered the matter of the calligraphy appreciation conference, and thought that he could go with Zhu Youjiao, so he said, "Your Majesty, have you been busy these days?" ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded slightly, "There have been a lot of affairs in the past few days, and although the newly formed cabinet has changed half of its blood, it is still not the ideal composition in my heart. Prefectures and counties are also plagued by natural and man-made disasters. Alas! ”

Looking at Zhu Youjiao's frowning appearance, when it came to his mouth, Zhang Yue swallowed it again, and quickly comforted the emperor a few words. I thought to myself, don't disturb the emperor.
