In April, the peach blossoms in the peach and plum orchard in the west of the courtyard have just bloomed, which is a scene of its own, attracting everyone in the palace to come to watch it in groups from time to time, making the courtyard that is cold on weekdays no longer quiet in the past!

In the past few days, everyone in the courtyard has gotten up early every day to collect peach blossom water to make tea, and pick fresh peach blossoms to make peach blossom wine.

The morning light was faint, Qi Ying was holding a wide-mouthed white porcelain pot to collect dew, and from a distance, he saw the fifth lady Chu Yuyu with two maids disclosing it.

"The fifth sister really came so early!"

"Sister-in-law is fine" Chu Yurong walked up to Qi Ying and saluted, "Sister-in-law, isn't she brewing peach blossoms today?" Why don't you see the flowers? ”

"I've brewed a lot in the past few days, if you save it, it will be enough to drink next year......" Qi Ying waved his hand to beckon Xin Weaving and Kexin, "The dew is enough, you go and help Miss Fifth pick flowers"

"Thank you, sister-in-law! My sister-in-law collects so much morning dew, is it still used to make tea? ”

"Yes! Make some flower tea today"

"Flower tea?" Chu Yurong pondered for a moment, "Is it peach blossom tea?" ”

Qi Ying shook his head, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and said with a smile: "Last year, I saved some golden cinnamon and plum, and I dried some apricot blossoms a few days ago, and boiled some with today's peach blossom morning dew, can the fifth sister taste it later?" ”

"The osmanthus in the golden autumn, the plum in the cold winter, the apricot blossoms in the warm spring, the peach blossoms in the early summer, it is the fragrance of the flowers of the four seasons, I will taste it in a while....." Chu Yuyu's immature face was overjoyed at this time, eager to try, and then hurriedly instructed the maid: "You pick it quickly, I will taste the flower tea of the princess in a while, I can't eat it when it's late." ”

Listen, everyone chuckled in unison.

"Fifth sister doesn't have to be in such a hurry, today's tea pipe is enough!" Qi Ying smiled, "The morning dew is almost there, so let's take it back and prepare it first!" ”

"Miss, don't take it off, your sleeves are wet, it won't be good if you catch a cold again......" Chu Yuyu's maid persuaded solemnly.

Qi Ying pulled Chu Yuyu's sleeve and touched it, but fortunately it was not soaked.

"Although it's already summer, it's still very cold in such a morning, the fifth sister has just the cold, don't repeat it, why don't you go back and make tea together?"

Chu Yuyu was recovering from the cold, and her body was indeed a little weak, and when she saw that everyone was worried and persuasive, she followed Qi Ying over.

Qi Ying ordered someone to prepare a stove in the west wing, burn silver charcoal, boil water to make tea, and do not fake human hands.

"Fragrant" Chu Yuyu gently smelled the aroma, tasted it again, and said: "The taste is mellow and fragrant, it should be a good product." Does this flower tea have a name? ”

"It's just a whim, I want to get together a few kinds of flower bubbles to taste, I have never heard of such a bubble before, and there are no books or other sources, naturally there is no official name, but I made it up randomly, called 'four o'clock with the same cup', what does the fifth sister think?"

"Four o'clock in the same cup" muttered to himself, his eyes were low, and he pondered for a moment: "A cup of flowers in all seasons, this name is very wonderful, sister-in-law is really smart!"

"It's just made up randomly, my sister's calligraphy and painting, my sister-in-law is ashamed!" Qi Ying stretched out his hand and moved the pastries beside him, "Fifth sister, don't just drink tea, eat some snacks and pads......"

"My sister-in-law praised me like this, if I don't say one or two, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law's praise!" Chu Yuyu winked at Qi Ying playfully, "Why don't I make a danqing for my sister-in-law?" Now that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, how about painting in the peach blossom orchard? ”

Qi Ying smiled lightly and said nothing, and was busy preparing pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Qi Ying hurriedly stopped: "I heard the princess say that the princess of Yuya County will return to the palace today, I'm afraid it's almost there, and I have to go to the main courtyard later, I'm afraid it's too late today!" ”

"Yes! I almost forgot, big sister came back today, and I have to go back early! Why don't I come back tomorrow to paint my sister-in-law? ”

"Good!"

Among King Su's many daughters, Qi Ying and Chu Yuyu got along with a deed, and Qi Ying naturally would not refuse her kindness!
