Chapter 1641: Forming an Alliance
Outside the door, Wang Chong, the housekeeper in blue and white clothes, looked at the thin figure kneeling in the courtyard, and seriously showed a deep pity, and finally left, no matter what, no matter what she became now, he did his best to protect her.
"Lord Wang!" Hongdou took a step forward, knelt on the ground, first made a big salute to Chu Chengqian, then lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "Lord, the slave and maid are confused, and ask the prince to forgive the sin, the young lady repeatedly told the slave and maid before, this Yunpu wine should be seasoned with plums to cover up the fragrance of roses, but the slave and maid forgot, and ask the prince to forgive the sin!" ”
After Hongdou finished speaking, he secretly gave Xia Ye'er a look.
Miss, the slave can only help you fall here
Xia Ye'er saw the red bean's eyes, although she didn't fully understand, but she basically understood, the fragrance of flowers, the scene of contacting the palace garden, she thought of a question.
Lord Wang, you can't smell the fragrance of flowers, and maybe even maybe, you can't smell all kinds of fragrances!
Hmph, Xia Bingtao's trick is really not clever, Xia Ye'er sneered in her heart.
In ancient times, women who did not regard their husbands as their heavens and were bent on pleasing their husbands, even if they were wives and concubines competing for favor, no matter how they hit each other, they should not pull the prince in. No man tolerates being used, not to mention, Xia Bingtao knows the weakness of the prince, but he doesn't point it out, and deliberately finds fault with the prince, making the prince uncomfortable.
"Red beans, you stop, the taste of Yunpu and the floral fragrance of roses are combined, and the wine will appear more mellow and fragrant, although the plum taste is sweet and sour, but the prince is a man who stands up to the sky, and he must not like these. Please don't dislike it, and give it a taste. ”
Thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, so it's okay, right? You are a big man, you don't like fragrance, and you definitely won't like sweet and sour things, you don't know it's not guilty, she just got married, and it is normal to not know the prince's preferences, even if he really has a secret about it, he will look at Prime Minister Xia Liehou's face, and don't care about her, anyway, she is not favored now, and there is nothing worse than this, but Xia Bingtao and Shen Meiyu, two little singers, even if they are given by the emperor, Chu Chengqian will not allow them to make trouble under his nose and challenge his authority.
Besides, with Xia Ye'er's conjecture, Chu Chengqian is very suspicious of her now, maybe, today's thing is a good thing?
"That's it, this king doesn't like this, drink it yourself!" Chu Chengqian has been standing still, silently observing Xia Ye'er's every move.
"Lord Wang, my sister has a heart, just try it!" Shen Meiyu gently persuaded Xia Ye'er to find that she was really good-looking, although Xia Bingtao was also good-looking, but she was too charming, and she belonged to the kind of person who she could see at a glance that she was not a good person. But Shen Meiyu is different, her smile and smile give people a gentle feeling, just like now, although she looks like she is talking to Chu Chengqian, but the corner of her eye can catch a glimpse of Xia Ye'er's side, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Thinking of the last time she took the initiative to show her favor and sent someone to decorate the wine room for her, did she really want to be good friends with her, so she treated her comrades as warm as spring?
"No need, you sisters get together, this king will go first." Without a trace of emotion, he went out directly after speaking, the speed was so fast, Xia Ye'er happened to be holding the tray, ready to persuade Shen Meiyu to persuade a glass of wine, just with the right smile, between the eyebrows, he just went out!
Xia Ye'er was stupid for a moment holding the tray, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, and Hongdou hurriedly ran over to help her take it. Xia Bingtao laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered his palm with a handkerchief, but the laughter was released unscrupulously.
Xia Ye'er breathed a sigh of relief, re-energized, walked upright in front of Shen Meiyu, and bent down slightly, "My sister has been in the house for many days, and I should have visited my sister a long time ago, but my health has been not good, and I have delayed, so I ask my sister to forgive me." I specially prepared this Yunpu wine for my sister, and I hope my sister likes it. ”
Shen Meiyu said in the palm of her hand, "Sister, please get up", and she also helped her with a void in her hand, but this gift was still accepted, Xia Ye'er watched her actions carefully, this woman's face was too cautious, there was no flaw at all, and she could only start from somewhere else.
"Where did my sister say, my sister's daughter's body, delicate and expensive, my sister should have taken the initiative to visit, but the affairs of the palace are really too busy, and I can't spare time, and I rarely have time today, so I hurried here, who knew that I had good luck and caught up with this good wine brewed by my sister, what a luck!"
"It's good if my sister doesn't dislike it, and I invite my sister to taste it." Xia Ye'er gave the red bean a look, the little maid hurriedly served the tray, Xia Ye'er secretly struggled through Shen Meiyu's cold little hands that were holding her tightly, picked up a cup, and gave it to her with a smile.
Xia Bingtao has been sitting next to her and blowing her nails since they started greetings, but Xia Ye'er has been paying attention to her, and she didn't let go of Shen Meiyu when she said, "The affairs of the palace are really too busy", Xia Bingtao's disdain, it seems that the relationship between the two of them is not good, it should be watching her come, so the two of them barely formed an alliance, what she has to do is to split the two and form another alliance, which does not seem difficult.
Shen Meiyu picked up a small glass of wine, the wine in the celadon cup was red and drunk, the color was bright, gently leaned to the nose, and a strange fragrance immediately spread, with the strong fragrance of roses, the fragrance of wine, the faint fragrance of Yunpu, and a sweet taste. Zhu sipped lightly, and the sweet taste immediately filled the entire mouth, not greasy at all, with the taste of wine, but not as slightly stimulating as wine, and the taste was very soft and sweet.
"Sister, what kind of wine is this, why have I never drunk it? Even the Imperial Palace has never heard of such wine! ”
Xia Ye'er has been very nervous since she picked up the wine glass, although on the surface she is still immobile and calm, in fact, her heart has long been tangled, this is the first jar of wine she taught herself! This is related to the livelihood of the future! Can she not be nervous? But looking at Shen Meiyu's expression, it seems that the taste is up to standard, the fragrance is up to standard, it depends on the curative effect, although she is a medical professional, but in ancient times, she didn't know if there was any difference in the medicinal properties of herbs, and she didn't know Yun Pu's temperament, and the wine was all kinds of worries anyway, and now, she could temporarily put her mind at ease.
"Hmph, Sister Mei Yu probably forgot, our Great Chu Dynasty is rich in resources, what good things are not there? Unheard of wine in the palace? I'm afraid my sister is lonely and unheard, right?
