Didn't Duan Xiaolou fall into a strange poison and lie in her bedroom to rest? How did he get out of the Meng Mansion, how did he come to the Yan Palace?

He Angelica was incredible, looking at Duan Xiaolou's slow walking posture, steady and powerful, not at all like a person with an injured calf walking. What is Duan Xiaolou doing? She looked at him worriedly, and thought about it, if the antidote quilt Zichen was found, instead of handing it over to her and rushing back to Mengfu to save people, it would be better to save people directly here.

Duan Xiaolou's ink hair fluttered, and behind him was a moon-white round door in the shadow of the heavy pavilion, with thin lips and smiling, and fluttering clothes, like an immortal coming from under the moon.

Duan Xiaolou's appearance made most of the girls present blush, and there was obviously a girl's shyness and delicateness in their eyes, it seemed that he was very popular here. But he said from afar that He Angelica was "a real tea expert", which caused many young ladies to be dissatisfied, and they squinted at He Angelica with their eyes and discussed a lot.

"Isn't she the county lord from a small family? What good tea can she recognize? ”

"Did Master Hou know her?"

"Lord Duran! What are you doing stupidly holding her arm! ”

was called like this, and the girl in yellow who had been holding He Angelica came back from her daze, let go of the hand she was holding, and stood aside with her head down in frustration. He Angelica felt strange in his heart again, and just now he also heard Duan Xiaolou's mother, Mrs. Ge, say, "There is a durian here today, so it's not good to ask him to come with him." "This girl in yellow named Duran, the relationship between her and Duan Xiaolou is ......

He Angelica glanced at Du Ran, and then turned back to look at the maid Pu Cao with inquiring eyes, so Pu Cao whispered to her: "This is the county lord of our palace, the second daughter of the prince." As for the issue that He Angelica was most concerned about, Pu Cao did not mention it. After all, this Zhu Liuran is a serious master of the palace, and his subordinates would not dare to talk about the master's privacy on such an occasion.

Duan Xiaolou walked over and sat down next to his mother, Mrs. Ge, and the two whispered softly, as if they were arguing about something, and Mrs. Ge also looked up at He Angelica twice. Duan Xiaolou also turned his head to look at He Angelica, his eyes were gentle and affectionate, without concealing it, if someone noticed this scene at this moment, he would definitely be able to see the clues. He Angelica began to hypnotize himself, I can't see the nest, you can't see the nest......

Duan Xiaolou was wearing an ink-colored satin robe, with silver hollow hibiscus flowers bordering inside, dark cloud sleeves, a jade belt around his waist, and a folding fan with ivory bones. He put one hand on the propped leg, and the other hand used a folding fan to pluck a cup of tea, slightly bowed his head and took a sip of tea soup, turned the fan and pushed back the tea cup, his movements were chic and natural, like an elegant prince, attracting the attention of a group of girls. Those young ladies who were about to twist the dry handkerchief out of the water were probably all admirers of Duan Xiaolou.

He Angelica looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, wasn't Duan Xiaolou wearing Meng Xuan's clothes? A few days ago, she cleaned up her wardrobe and ironed the welt of this black satin robe! Why did Duan Xiaolou run out of the Meng Mansion? He is now a wounded man who is in danger of dying at any time.

"Alright, I'm here to close the registration deadline!" The lord of Xiancao County, Yu pointed to the name of the note, and when he looked up, his eyes focused on He Angelica, and he shouted, "Who still wants to sign up, only now is this opportunity!" ”

He Angelica lowered his head and tidied up his cuffs, without any intention of joining, causing several young ladies to think that they had caught the evidence that she was rude and did not understand tea, and laughed in a low voice. However, the laughter continued for a while and then stopped, it turned out that Princess Yan had arrived, and she greeted He Angelica with a smile from afar: "How is it, is the tea banquet in our house lively?" Yesterday, the palace gave four new teas, plus the tea brought by the prince from the north, a total of twelve varieties, Qing'er, have you tasted it? ”

Many of these young ladies have a higher status than He Angelica, such as the lord of Xiancao; There is also a county lord who has always had a close relationship with the princess, although he is a concubine, but he is also together in the morning and dusk. They had never been so cared for by Princess Yan, and now when they saw Princess Yan not only dressed up at the tea banquet, but also took special care of He Angelica, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they guessed everything in their hearts.

He Angelica pursed his lips and smiled: "It's really very lively, it's the first time I've participated in such a tea banquet, everything is very fresh, and I heard that everyone is going to play the game of guessing the name of the tea, which is even more eye-opening." ”

A few young ladies pouted, and they were sure to be dirt buns.

Princess Yan approached, patted He Angelica lovingly, and said softly: "You also go to play, eat tea and eat hungry, go directly to eat inside, and the princess has arranged the meal." ”

Since Princess Yan named her to participate, He Angelica had no reason to refuse. Besides, Duan Xiaolou's people are already here, and if Zichen's antidote doesn't come, she will have to wait forever. So I signed up for a blindfolded tea guessing game and played with them.

After the girls' chattering discussions, the specific rule was that the twelve teas were divided into three groups, each with four teas. The first group of teas is the most common, so add a spoonful of honey to the tea to make it more difficult to identify. Those who can't guess want to invite everyone to watch the play, and they have to pour tea for those who pass the test.

The second group of tea has a lot of treasures, is the young lady does not often drink the variety, respectively with Qingming rain, plum blossom snow water, pine needle soaking water and cypress leaves soaking water to brew, guess the tea, not only to say what tea to drink, but also to brew the water also distinguished, in order to smoothly enter the next level. Those who guess incorrectly will be asked to do one thing by the people who have been brushed down in the first round, such as performing some talent in public.

Princess Yan added that the day before yesterday, she had a few shawls and silk scarves cut for golden cicada wing yarn, and they had not yet been distributed to several daughters, and anyone who guessed correctly in this round could get one.

When the young ladies heard this, they became excited, and several young ladies on the spot couldn't resist the temptation and signed up for the game. Because the golden cicada wing yarn is a tribute, something that money can't buy, it is ten times more precious than Shu brocade. Moreover, the leader of the clothing trend in Beijing, the eleventh princess Nankang, has recently gone out wearing a streamer cicada wing veil, and every move is the focus of attention, envying how many boudoir daughters.

The next third group of teas is the most obscure, and some of them have not even drunk Princess Yan, who is the host, a few times. This group of teas is all boiled and brewed with clear and sweet mountain spring water, and the blindfolded ladies smell it before tasting it, and there is a chance to guess wrong. The young lady who can pass this level can feel free to ask the young lady or son present to do a "difficult" thing, and the other party must not refuse. At the same time, there is no punishment for those who guess wrong.

At this time, in addition to Duan Xiaolou, there were four or five sons sitting in a pavilion on the other side of the garden, and when they entered the pavilion, they began to talk to each other, because they were chatting and did not come here. It's hard to tell who they are through a few shadows, but those who know them well can definitely hear their voices.

The rules of the third group were proposed by Mrs. Niu's golden cow Wen Lan, and when the young ladies heard that it was interesting, they all agreed, and asked the maid to go and talk to the sons of the pavilion over there, telling them, "The honor has become part of the reward, and we can't dismiss our face at that time." Several people on the other side had no objections, and replied, "Listen to the courtesy, and the ladies are happy." ”

Then, the game just began.

He Angelica felt a little weird, she was not afraid of losing, but she was afraid of winning to the last level, I don't know how to ask a person to do a "difficult" thing in public, who to do, and how difficult it is, so many pairs of eyes to look at, do a little deviation of the truth is true! So she thought, anyway, the game is so tricky, it is estimated that there will be few people in the third level, and then she deliberately guessed two wrong and lost, neither being ridiculed by everyone, nor punished, isn't it wonderful?

"Ringing ringing!"

The girls decently arranged the venue, not only a long table for cooking and tasting tea, but also a guest seat and a judge's seat, on which sat Princess Yan, Duan Xiaolou, Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Tong and a young woman with her hair in a bun, as if she was the side concubine of the palace.

There are a total of thirteen young ladies who signed up to participate, Zhu Liuran, the lord of the palace, and Zhu Gutan, the third young lady who was not canonized, are all from the Yan Palace, and they may have tasted the twelve kinds of tea in the game before, but they both want to participate. So everyone discussed it, and it made it more difficult for them, adding a small piece of milk to each cup of tea they tasted as an obstacle to confusion.

Blindfolded with a three-inch-wide purple cotton veil, as soon as the bell rang, the maids who were cooking tea over there rushed in, and placed a tea tray in front of everyone, and there were four tea cups in the tea tray.

The thirteen young ladies guessed in turn, He Angelica sat at the last seat, blindfolded, and listened quietly to the twelve people in front of him, and unconsciously brushed off seven people, only Zhu Liuran, Zhu Gutan, Xiancao County Lord Li Xianqian, Niu Wenlan and a strange gentle female voice passed.

In the end, it was He Angelica's turn, her four teas had not yet been lifted, but her hand had figured out the position of the teacup, so she brought the first one on the right, and picked up the porcelain lid and sniffed it lightly. After just sniffing it, she frowned, because the hot air in her nose was wrapped in the obvious smell of milk! Why does she also add milk to her cup? No one had agreed on this beforehand, right?

Tea fragrance is the best indication to distinguish the name of the tea soup, if only honey is added to it, just smell the tea fragrance, you can still distinguish what kind of tea it is, most of the ladies who are good at drinking tea can do this.

He Angelica also heard it just now, many people talked about it, many young ladies only smelled the fragrance of tea and identified several kinds of tea, only the two Miss Zhu who added milk to the cup, because of the smell interference, had to taste it with their own mouths to distinguish the taste of tea, but they still guessed the name correctly under the interference.

There is a smell in the milk, although the nose of He Angelica is smart, but he knows nothing about the tea on the tea banquet in advance, there are thousands of tea products in the world, only with the tea fragrance mixed with the smell of smell and nectar, it is not very certain, and if you say the wrong one, you will lose.

The next moment, she put the cup to her lips and wanted to taste it before answering, and immediately someone laughed: "This is a tea ceremony connoisseur?" Even I could smell what kind of tea it was, and she had to taste it with her tongue! ”
