Chapter 55: It’s not in vain to conquer Mount Tai
"You slaves, why didn't you alert me when someone came?" Concubine Rong frowned and scolded the palace officials, who immediately knelt down to apologize.
"That's it this time. I will never forgive you lightly next time!"
After getting angry, Concubine Rong ordered the people around her, "Why are you still standing there? Help the person up quickly."
Xianglu stepped forward personally and stretched out her hand to help Chu Liuzheng, "I was negligent. Girl, get up quickly, can you still stand?"
Chu Liuzheng fell on top of her and almost knocked the unprepared Xianglu to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have any strength in my legs. I couldn't stand firm for a while." Chu Liuzheng pushed Xiang Lu hard, kicked his legs to stand up straight, and pulled Xiang Lu with an apologetic look.
"Ah!" Xianglu called out in a low voice, her face twisted, "Don't, don't pull me, my waist is twisted."
[My aunt’s practice of pushing the mountain is not in vain, she is just a little lighter, otherwise she will definitely crush you to the ground. 】
During the years that Chu Liuzheng was in the palace, he also learned a few tricks to save his life.
It's obvious that you can't beat them, so you're just trying to trick people. Every time you trick someone, you'll be sure.
"Useless thing!" Concubine Rong Gui unexpectedly tormented Chu Liuzheng once. Before she could do anything to Chu Liuzheng, she had tormented someone first, feeling embarrassed, "Hurry up and lift it off!"
At that moment, several palace officials came forward and lifted Xianglu down, who could not move.
Chu Liuzheng raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked obediently: "My Lady, do you want to start making tea now?"
Concubine Rong was angry, but she had no excuse to express it, so she had to order: "Zhang Baorong, take her to the tea room."
"Wei." The great eunuch Zhang Baorong bowed to accept the order and made an invitation gesture to the outside, "Please, girl, come with us."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang."
Concubine Chu Liuzheng Chaorong was blessed and followed Zhang Baorong out.
Looking at Chu Liuzheng's back, Concubine Rong's lips curled down and her white fingers brushed the jade bracelet on her wrist. She wanted to see what this little fox could do.
The tea room of Huaqing Palace is located in the wing room of the small kitchen. It is equipped with all tea sets and there are three types of water for making tea: mountain spring water, dew water and snow water.
After Zhang Baorong finished the introduction, he took a large tea can as high as forearm from the shelf to the table.
As soon as the lid was opened, a rich and strong aroma wafted out.
Chu Liuzheng had never smelled such a tea fragrance. He couldn't help but get closer curiously and lowered his head to look into the jar.
I saw reddish-brown tea leaves mixed with round beads. I don’t know what they are.
Zhang Baorong said: "Our queen is a noble lady and has a habit of drinking tea. She must drink the tea leaves picked out from the fragrant pills. They must be complete without any defects."
Looking at the meatballs in the jar that were the same color as tea leaves and not much bigger than rice grains, Chu Liuzheng felt the deep malice from Concubine Rong.
[Isn’t this intentionally torturing people? 】
Zhang Baorong said: "I heard that the girl is very good at making tea. I think the skill of making tea is also excellent, so I gave this jar of fragrant tea to the girl and asked the girl to take out all the tea."
【all? ! 】
Chu Liuzheng took a breath in his heart. According to the dead eunuch's request just now, such a large jar cannot be distributed until the evening, right?
"Eunuch Zhang, you won't need so many tea leaves to make a cup of tea." Chu Liuzheng decided to take advantage of the situation, "I still have to go back to the Wenhua Palace to be on duty. If your Majesty goes back and has no tea to drink, you may not want to look for me. I’m afraid it will harm Concubine Rong.”
"One thing is worth nothing. Since the queen asked the girl to share the tea, the girl should finish it."
Zhang Baorong held the fly whisk in his hand and looked at her with a pair of three-white eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"My Majesty is used to caring for us slaves. If she is really too slow and misses the time, she will send someone to speak to Your Majesty. With His Majesty's love for your Majesty, I think you will not offend your Majesty."
【Ma Dan! There is obviously too much work to finish, but according to this damn eunuch, it is because I am too slow to finish it. What kind of shameless capitalist face do I have? ] Chu Liuzheng choked on his chest with a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood, and wanted to spray it in the face of the dead eunuch who was gloating about his misfortune.
[Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, there will be no one to take care of you when you get angry. 】
[The first level of officialdom crushes people to death. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and their heads must not be cut off or bleeding. She is a noble concubine and you are just a little palace maid. You cannot afford to offend her! ! ! 】
Chu Liuzheng's lips curled up into a standard toothless smile, "I'm going to start sharing the tea. Can Eunuch Zhang stay here and watch?"
Zhang Baorong was in charge of the affairs of Huaqing Palace and was very busy, so he had no time to watch a little palace lady sharing tea here.
"We won't accompany the girl if we have something to do at home." Zhang Baorong called the two young eunuchs to come in. "They will be guarding the door of the small kitchen. If the girl has anything to do, just ask them."
Chu Liuzheng glanced at the two young eunuchs, were they trying to prevent her from escaping?
[That’s redundant, isn’t it? If running away was useful, I would have run away long ago. How could I be here? 】
Chu Liuzheng nodded, "I understand, Eunuch Zhang, walk slowly."
Zhang Baorong winked at the two young eunuchs before raising his feet and leaving.
As soon as he left, the two young eunuchs did not stay in the tea room for long and spontaneously went to the door of the small kitchen to guard him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chu Liuzheng turned his wrist, tilted the tea can and poured some into a clean basin.
She picked up the bamboo tweezers and tried to separate them.
The small fragrant pills are round and round, so it is difficult to pick them up with bamboo tweezers and they are easy to lose.
If you use bamboo tweezers to pinch tea leaves, you must control your strength, otherwise they will be easily broken.
Chu Liuzheng took a few slices and then gave up.
The color of the small fragrant pills was similar to that of the tea leaves. They were so separated that she was blinded.
She straightened up and looked around, trying to find a simple solution.
At the same time, a petite green figure ran across the bluestone and headed towards Changchun Palace.
In the main hall of Huaqing Palace, the hourglass on the table was leaking sand, and a small mountain had already accumulated.
The two little palace maids knelt in front of the imperial concubine's couch, holding the beauty's slender hands, carefully brushing flower juice on the manicured nails, and then carefully wrapping the solid color with gauze soaked in medicine.
Concubine Rong stretched out her arms, spread her fingers, and began to wait boringly.
She moved her long, white fingers and lazily asked the eunuch standing by, "How's it going in the tea room?"
Zhang Baorong smiled maliciously and said, "I'm picking tea leaves right now. I'm afraid I'm going to go blind."
Concubine Rong snorted softly, tilted her head and glanced at the sunshine outside the window, frowning slightly, "The sun is still a bit dazzling today."
Zhang Baorong stepped forward and lowered the gauze curtain halfway, which could block the direct sunlight without making the hall too dark.
He said: "Your Majesty, it's already winter. While the sun is nice, we should take out the things in our palace to dry them, especially the leathers, so as not to get bugs and destroy the good things."
"Then let's bask in the sun." Concubine Rong leaned back on the soft pillow and gently blew the gauze on her fingers. "I remember that the sun is best over the small kitchen, so I set up a pole to bask in the sun there."< br>
Zhang Baorong rolled his eyes, "Wei."
He stepped back and was about to order someone to get something when he turned around and saw Chu Liuzheng walking in with a tea tray.
He was stunned and turned his head to glance at the hourglass on the table.
How long has passed now, no matter how many people there are, they can't be separated so quickly.
