In order not to embarrass Li Yuqi, Zhang Mengjie said: "Queen Mother, don't blame Concubine Li, Concubine Li should be worried about the emperor and her daughter-in-law before mentioning this matter." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The concubine also thinks so. ”

Seeing that Li Yuqi was sullen and unhappy, Zhang Mengjie changed the topic and said: "Concubine Li, Concubine Zhuang, there is something in this palace that the queen mother and you have helped me, and this palace has not thanked you yet!" ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The queen laughed, the concubine doesn't remember that the concubine and Concubine Li's sister helped the queen." ”

"You'll find out later." Zhang Mengjie whispered to the breeze on the side.

After a while, Sun Dehai followed Qingfeng with four cups of tea.

Li Yuqi asked curiously: "Isn't there tea here, the queen is this?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "This tea is light, and this palace wants to change it for you." ”

Murong Xue saw that Sun Dehai brought tea, and knew that it was osmanthus tea, so Qingyu couldn't wait to open the tea lid and smell the aroma as soon as she put the tea in front of her.

"Good fragrance" Zhuang Xinyan, who smelled the aroma, took the cup directly from Qingfeng's hand: "It's a pity that it's hot." ”

Sun Dehai said: "Concubine Zhuang might as well take a sip and try it first, this tea is not hot!" ”

Zhuang Xinyan took a sip of it carefully and said, "It's not hot, it's just right." This tea has already been brewed? ”

Qingfeng said: "This tea lady just let the slave maid brew it for the masters to drink." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "Then why is this tea not hot?" Could it be that the water is not boiling? ”

Sun Dehai said: "Concubine Zhuang is only half right, how can it be that the water that has not been boiled is used by the masters, the water for making tea is freshly boiled." It's easy to cool down freshly boiled water. It is to put the freshly boiled water in the water, not to mention that it is now a hot summer, and it is not necessary to walk fifty steps, and the water is the same as if it was not boiled. ”

Murong Xue said: "This tea has been cooled in this way?" This method cools down so quickly, how do you manage the time? ”

"The slave cooled down with this method, but not beforehand, but on the way to serve tea." Sun Dehai saw their surprised appearance and said, "The secret is on this tray." ”

Murong Xue said: "The mourning family just felt that this tray was different from the tray they usually saw. ”

"Everyone wants to drink hot tea on such a cold day, but the method just now is not as the Queen Mother said, and the time is not good, and a cup can't hold much water. Later, the minion thought that he could find a way on the tray. As long as you make a few cylinders on the tray that can fit the teacup, and make the periphery under the cylinder solid, so that the water poured inside will not leak out, and there will not be much water poured inside, and the hot water will not cool down so quickly. It is easy to take out the top as a virtual cup, too. Sun Dehai said: "The Lu Gong Guild carpenter, so the slave asked him to help make this tray." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The queen is smart, and even the minions are not simple. It's a pity that it's the queen's person, otherwise the concubines would have to take it for their own use. ”

"Concubine Zhuang has won the award, Gonggong Sun is a smart person, but he is not from this palace." Zhang Mengjie saw her confused look and said, "Concubine Zhuang forgot, the father-in-law next to Zhao Meiren is recuperating in this palace." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The concubine knows that it is him, Zhao Meiren didn't say that he will be the queen's person in the future." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Having said that, after all, no one knows what Zhao Meiren thought at the time, and it is still a little inappropriate for this palace to keep him in Luanfeng Hall like this." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The father-in-law next to the concubine is about to leave the palace, so let him follow the concubine in the future?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "He is a free body in this palace, as long as he agrees." ”

Sun Dehai immediately knelt down to Zhuang Xinyan and said, "Slave Xie Concubine Zhuang raises love!"

Zhuang Xinyan said: "You get up." ”

Li Yuqi said: "Congratulations to my sister for winning the slave she likes, this slave sister has always liked it, but let my sister take the lead." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "It's my sister's luck." Queen, this is osmanthus, right? ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Yes, last time Qingfeng and Qingyu looked for clothes that were not needed in various palaces, just to pick up this osmanthus flower. The two of them ran so many places to get clothes from the queen mother, Concubine Li, and Concubine Zhuang, and it happened that the three of them were here today, which was considered a thank you gift. It's a pity that Bengong thought of making this tea a little late, so I can't give it to you, but you can come to Luanfeng Hall to drink two cups when you have time. ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "I didn't expect this osmanthus to be able to make tea, can the queen teach her concubines how to make this osmanthus tea?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "This can only wait until next year's osmanthus blooms." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "After disturbing the queen for so long, the concubines should also go back." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The palace wants you to have time to accompany the palace more, Concubine Zhuang just said that the father-in-law next to you is about to leave the palace, and it is true that the father-in-law of Sun will go back to adapt earlier." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The concubine said goodbye first." ”

Zhuang Xinyan was leaving, and Li Yuqi naturally followed.

Murong Xue said: "Sun Dehai is very pleasing, there are only a few people in Luanfeng Palace, why don't you keep him in Luanfeng Palace?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Queen Mother, you know very well about Sun Dehai, if Jie'er really left Sun Dehai in Luanfeng Palace, people who know him still think that he is really Jie'er's person." I don't know, I think Jie'er robbed the slave that others rely on. It was still a little inconvenient for Sun Dehai to stay in Luanfeng Palace. Concubine Zhuang has done Jie'er a great favor. Besides, Jie'er doesn't like so many people to follow, it's cumbersome. ”

Seeing Lu Deshun's worries, he knew that he wanted Sun Dehai to stay in Luanfeng Hall with him: "In the harem, Concubine Zhuang is gentle, and Sun Dehai can be regarded as a good master when he goes to her." ”

Murong Xue said: "You will only think about others if you have such a temperament. originally wanted you to go to the mourning family, but when I saw you like that just now, the mourning family didn't embarrass you. ”

Zhang Mengjie found that her legs were no longer numb.

As soon as the queen mother said, Jie'er felt that her legs were no longer numb. As he spoke, he got up from his seat and walked a few steps: "The queen mother just said that Jie'er should go to Kunning Palace, is there something wrong?" ”

Murong Xue said: "Look at you, if you have nothing to do, the mourning family can't invite you to Kunning Palace to sit." After you went to the imperial temple yesterday, the mourning family was idle and bored and thought of the pastries that the mourning family used to make when they were outside the palace, and the mourning family tried to make some, thinking that you would try it. Thinking of your craft, the mourning family thinks about it. ”

In fact, Zhang Mengjie at this time really wanted to rest for a while, but when she saw Murong Xue's lonely eyes, she still wanted to accompany her: "Queen Mother, you are wrong, although Jie'er can make meals, this pastry really can't be made." And the pastries made by the queen mother are not something that ordinary people can eat. ”

Murong Xue said: "I'm afraid that the mourning family will disappoint you." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The queen mother's hands are so skillful, how can it be disappointing, let's go, Jie'er really wants to try the pastries made by the queen mother as soon as possible." ”

Murong Xue was very relieved to see Zhang Mengjie so caring, and the two happily went to Kunning Palace.
