Chapter 70: The Idea of Killing Multiple Birds with One Stone

I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, what does the Queen Mother mean by this?

"Water is the mother of tea, and cooking tea is very particular about water quality, and the tea soup cooked by different water quality is very different. The Queen Mother said lightly: "I don't know if Miss Eleven is particular about this?" ”

"Tianquan, Tianshui, autumn rain, plum rain, 'dew' water, and soaking the 'spring' of Biluo are all appropriate." I bowed my eyebrows and said.

"A handful of blue snails 'spring', 40,000 'spring' tree buds. The 'cave' Tinggong tea of the mourning family is fragrant and elegant, rich and sweet, and I also mean that no matter what kind of water is suitable. The Emperor and the King of Qi are quite picky about tea, and they have different opinions, and the mourning family is in a dilemma, and they don't know whose taste they should cater to. The Queen Mother dragged out the last note, which was meaningful and authentic, and clearly meant something.

I couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant for a while, I couldn't understand the mystery, and I didn't dare to answer abruptly.

"There is a special 'gate' there to pull the mountain spring water from the foot of the mountain outside the city, the mountain is beautiful and the spring is godly, the spring water is clear, and it is best to make tea, I told my subordinates to fetch it." The emperor seemed to be in high spirits, and when he turned around, he was about to order Gonggong Guo, who was standing solemnly behind him.

"The spring at the top of the mountain is light and clear, the spring under the mountain is turbid, the spring in the stone is clear and sweet, the spring in the sand is clear, and the spring in the soil is thick. It's better to be a spring in the stone. Liang Ci said leisurely, and he was so straightforward and ruthless in front of the emperor.

"Oh, I didn't expect Brother Xian to know the tea ceremony, I remember that you have always been indifferent to these elegant things?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, as if he was careless.

"Open the 'door' seven things, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, only tea has a way. I only take one scoop of weak water for 3,000, and I am not sloppy or perfunctory about this. ”

Liang Ci said unhurriedly, with a sense of provocation, and did not give an inch. After speaking, he glanced at me, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he smiled.

The Queen Mother leaned over to look at me, stared into my eyes, and asked word by word, "What does Miss Eleventh mean?" ”

I instantly understood that the Queen Mother was clearly using things as a metaphor to ask me for my opinion.

Under her razor-like gaze, I was terrified for a moment. I don't know how to answer to get to her heart.

I only know that I absolutely can't hesitate about this matter, let alone go against my will, and say categorically at the moment: "Guanyin sinks like iron, which is more suitable for the emperor's mountain spring." The young woman grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and she was used to cooking tea with water in the stone, and she couldn't realize the "subtlety" of the spring under the mountain, hoping to beg for forgiveness. ”

The Queen Mother's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, and the tips of her eyes were slightly raised, as if the strong wind of the cold winter swept across her face, which made me shiver involuntarily, full of panic, but I tried to 'straighten' my spine, neither humble nor arrogant, firm and calm.

There was a moment in the dormitory, no one spoke, everyone was silent, full of thoughts.

The charcoal stove around me was blazing, and the flames were bursting out of the charcoal stove with teeth and claws, and there was no smoke and dust. **Scorching me, sweating, and wetting my heart.

Or, the Queen Mother eased her face, smiled and beckoned to the palace people on the side, and said casually: "Today, the two of you are blessed, and there is a jar of plum 'flower' under the begonia tree The snow water collected on the calyx, which is a hundred times stronger than the spring water, is cheaper for the two of you." ”

The palace people got the will, waited for a while, and came in with a clean grimace, opened the seal, poured it into the pot, and opened the charcoal stove wind 'door', the charcoal fire was fierce, and it only took a moment to boil.

The tea cup is a very clear bone china, and there is no half of impurities and decoration, I rolled up the cuffs, skillfully warmed the cup, took the tea, washed the tea, brewed, for a while the clouds were steaming, and the tea was fragrant.

The tea cup is clear, and the tea leaves can be seen from the outside.

The palace people presented the tea to the queen mother and the emperor respectively, and the three of them drank it slowly, and they were all amazed.

The emperor put down the teacup in his hand first, and teased: "Miss Eleven's craftsmanship can be described as the peak, and it is no wonder that the Qi prince has not seen him for a long time, so he chased after him reluctantly, I am afraid that I am worried that this palace is the 'den' of the Longtan Tiger, and Miss Eleven will be eaten alive." ”

The Queen Mother pinched the lid with her jadeite-inlaid armor fingertips, and gently 'made' the tea leaves in the cup, her face was unclear, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Liang Ci said: "The emperor's words are bad, and the young woman can win the favor of the queen mother." It's her blessing, so why don't you feel at ease?

However, the royal brother also knows that the foolish brother has always had a hidden disease, and Qingwen has been acupuncture and moxibustion conditioning for me, and she can't be sloppy. I have finally sought a good doctor after many years, and naturally I can't give up halfway. I can only take the liberty of begging my mother to make a yard for me to live in Puning Palace, and I don't have to go back and forth.

In this way, Qingwen can not only cook tea for the queen mother with peace of mind, but also diagnose my illness, and I can finally have the opportunity to honor my mother, which is an idea that kills multiple birds with one stone. ”

I immediately understood the reason for the noise outside the courtyard today, and while it was funny, my heart was warm, and it was softly 'rippling'.

The Queen Mother left me in Puning Palace on the grounds of diagnosing my illness, and although I couldn't rest assured, I naturally couldn't be disobedient. He used the excuse that I needed to diagnose him every day and moved into Puning Palace, and the emperor and the queen mother couldn't say anything. Then, we can still face each other day and night, and it doesn't make sense for the Queen Mother to leave me in Puning Palace.

"Seeing that the virtuous brother is so prosperous today, I thought that the entire Qiwang Mansion would be moved into Puning Palace."

The emperor seemed to be joking. Liang Ci and I both know that when the emperor speaks, it is a seemingly calm swamp, and if you are not careful, you may fall into it.

"The Queen Mother just kept Qingwen by her side for a few days, and I only brought a few changes of clothes with me, and the rest are all 'medicine' materials needed for diagnosis. Qing's recipe is unique and not static, so I had to dig up some of the 'medicine' in the 'medicine' garden and bring it over, and I have to toss people back and forth every day. ”

"Really?" The emperor took a sip of tea, turned his head and asked me, "I wonder if King Qi's condition will improve?" If you need any 'medicine' materials, even if you open your mouth, I think that the 'medicine' materials are still available. ”

I think the emperor is the king of the public and the brother of the 'private', but he is suspicious and fickle everywhere. And the queen mother, as a mother, is unfair and biased, and it is inevitable that she will be aggrieved by the cold words, so she said:

"Thank the emperor for his gifts, they are all old diseases, and they are really laborious. Although the foundation of Qi Wangye was solid in learning martial arts, he was too greedy and caused great damage to his body. ”

The Queen Mother put down the teacup she had been playing with in her hand and asked me, "Is Liangci's body so bad?" What injuries have you had before? Isn't there a healing? Why have you never heard of it before? ”

There was worry and distress in her voice as a mother, as well as a hint of anxiety.

It seems that Liang Ci really didn't talk to his queen mother about the past. I stood up, turned the tea table, stepped into the middle of the room, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and then raised my head and said in a deep voice:

"Please forgive the Queen Mother for the sin of being blunt. I don't know how much suffering and sins Lord Qi has endured before, and he has never mentioned it in front of me.

But when I gave him acupuncture, I saw that his entire back was densely packed and overlapped, with hundreds or even thousands of scars in size, and his body was incomplete.

It was for the practice of the method of washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow of the sutras used in the Supreme Mind Method. The incision was cut every day on the body of a child less than six years old, and the "medicine" of the wolf and tiger was buried deep into the wound with extremely stinging "excited" and "sexual" wolf and tiger, and the whole body was like ten thousand ants gnawing and stabbing with needles and knives, which ordinary people could not bear. Not only that, but every day he has to soak his body in the 'medicine' liquid with a dripping body of blood, which is a hundred times more painful than salted whipping.

Doing so can indeed have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, making kung fu progress by leaps and bounds, so that the Qi prince can cultivate a supreme martial arts, and he can't do it. However, it is also fueled by seedlings, and there are countless hidden dangers to people's bodies.

Qing Yu respects the Qi prince, he is the patron saint of our entire Chang'an Dynasty, and these are the prices he has paid for his family and country. What I need to do every day now is to try to eliminate the lesions in the body of Qi Wangye, so that his body is healthy, and I am forever. ”

Although I exaggerated a little, and more or less slandered the master whom Liang Ci respected the most, it did come from the bottom of my heart.

What is the purpose of Liangci's suffering? Isn't it for your splendid country, so that you can sit on that high place and enjoy power and glory? Did you consider his feelings when you took him for granted and were suspicious of him in every way?

Liang Ci lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips, and there was no expression on his face, but I could see the wings of his nose fluttering, and his Adam's apple sliding up and down with difficulty. These were past experiences that he didn't want to recall, and my words must have made him feel uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother sat on the seat and was stunned for a long time, finally stood up, walked towards the cool speech step by step, and the tears were faintly visible in her eyes: "My son, take off your clothes and let the Queen Mother see." ”

Liang Ci sat still and said indifferently: "It's all over, what is the fuss?" ”

"Fade off!" The Queen Mother insisted sharply, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Liang Ci stood up helplessly, turned his back to the past, opened the placket down a little, 'exposed' the scarred and 'intertwined' back, and then quickly covered it, which was extremely unnatural.

Although it was just a glance, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were a little moved. Now that many years have passed, many scars have faded, and they are still so shocking, how much suffering did they have to suffer in the first place?

The Queen Mother's hands couldn't help but tremble a little, her lips couldn't help but tremble, she almost couldn't cry, she stood behind Liang Ci, stretched out her arm, and gently hugged his shoulder, cautiously, it seemed a little jerky, and a little timid.

The Queen Mother gently turned her face away, tears rolled down the back of Liang Ci's neck, and Liang Ci's spine instantly stiffened.

The Queen Mother immediately let go, and in the end she just sighed: "Child, I made you suffer." ”

At that moment, Liang Ci's face was obviously a little moved, although he was only facing me sideways, but I could see that the corners of his 'lips' twitched slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he was desperately suppressing something. When the words came out, his voice was still cold: "If you have to endure hardship, you will become a master, and I understand the hard work of the master and the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't speak again, her face gloomy.
