Chapter 1256 (Updated on June 25) Is More Sour than Lemons

And the servants beside her served tea to the concubines.

Ruoyin looked at the pure white jade cup, which was 70% full of tea, and the tea soup was yellow-green.

The yellow-green tea leaves float on the tea soup and gradually sink.

She didn't taste the tea right away, but put the cup on the tip of her nose and smelled the tea lightly.

Then, she started drinking tea.

When the yellow-green tea soup enters the mouth, it has a slightly sour taste.

It is sour with sweetness and sweet with fragrance.

After entering the throat, the taste is mellow and refreshing, with a long-lasting aftertaste.

If Concubine Xin didn't serve her tea, she didn't have to make any comments.

Concubine Ke Xin not only served tea to fourth master, she also served tea to her personally.

This is still very disciplined.

So, Ruoyin said officially: "Concubine Xin, your tea art has reached the point of proficiency. From the color to the taste, this oolong tea is soft but has a lingering charm. It seems to have a hint of fruity aroma."

After she had finished speaking, the fourth master, who was always venomous, also said officially: "Concubine Xin, this pot of tea of ​​yours is well brewed, take a sip, the fragrance will linger on your teeth and cheeks, and the sweetness will return to the bottom of your throat."

"I would like to thank the emperor and the empress for their praise. The water used to make tea this time is specially boiled with dew by someone ordered by my concubine, so it will be slightly sweet, and drinking it is also very good for the body. My concubine is willing to make tea for you from time to time." Concubine Xin bowed in a blessed manner.

Fourth master didn't respond to this.

He just ordered someone to reward Concubine Xin as usual.

After Concubine Xin, the rest of the people just sent some handmade gadgets.

After all, not everyone has the courage to show their hands.

Moreover, he still showed his hand in front of the picky emperor.

Among the remaining concubines, they were either honest or low-status.

They didn't dare to do it again, and compete with these high status.

Ruoyin held the cup, and the tea in it was still hot.

I have to say that the tea made by Concubine Xin is really delicious.

But her gaze lightly swept across the concubines in the harem.

I want to say that this year's harem is full of masters.

One by one, in addition to being proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there was also someone who could make good tea.

It seems that these days, without any special artistic skills, there is no way to gain a foothold in the harem.

A few days ago, she also asked them if they had any ideas or any talent show.

At that time, except for the lively Concubine Jin, there was no one to talk to.

She thought that these newcomers were really unmotivated.

It turned out that they wanted to keep it mysterious and surprise them.

She can also see that it is good to be young, and she is also very confident.

Otherwise, on Fourth Master's birthday, those old people didn't do anything wrong.

Only these newcomers have a lot of ideas.

After the concubines had finished expressing themselves, everyone began to eat.

First, fourth master and Ruoyin ate intently.

But the concubines at the bottom have their own thoughts.

And those little thoughts summed up, nothing more than one point: invite pets!

At this moment, even though the dishes on the dinner table are very delicious, Concubine Qi is still chewing on wax.

She didn't have much confidence in the first place, but after seeing the behavior of these little vixens, she felt even more hopeless.

This year she only embroidered a sachet for the emperor.

It's not that she doesn't have new ideas, and it's not that she doesn't want to show off.

It was her enthusiasm that had been worn away by the emperor's day-to-day indifference.

Because she knew that no matter how much she tried to please the emperor, it was useless.

Presumably those old people who came to Maobi also saw through this point, so they didn't show too much.

Only those newcomers who don't know the depth, don't know how deep and muddy the water in the harem is.

Young and energetic, he always doesn't pay attention to anything.

And these old people, they have already seen it.

The emperor has a queen in his heart.

Otherwise, tonight, why didn't the emperor present the queen's gift to everyone.

Perhaps in the eyes of those newcomers, the emperor disdained to look at the paintings drawn by the empress.

But in her opinion, why did the emperor do this? Either he was giving special treatment, or he was unwilling to show the queen's paintings to others.

This means that the painting given to him by the queen has been regarded as his own property!

In the following palace banquet, the concubines were the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and each showed their magical powers.

However, the fourth master at the top was always as indifferent as ice.

What he said was very official.

Can't tell who's different.

But if you take a closer look, you can still see that those mysterious black pupils always glance at the empress at the side from the corner of the eye.

Moreover, when he ate delicious food, he would order someone to reward Ruoyin to taste it.

"Queen, I remember that you like to eat oven-roasted chicken." After speaking, he gestured to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng understood, and brought the "roasted chicken" in front of him to Ruoyin.

This is the third time that the emperor rewarded the empress with dishes.

You know, no other concubines have this kind of treatment tonight, only the empress does.

Ruoyin gladly accepted fourth master's order for delicious dishes.

"His Majesty Xie still remembers the taste that my concubine likes." She smiled at Fourth Master.

Fourth master stared at it for a few seconds, then withdrew his eyes, continued to eat without speaking.

Seeing this scene, the fighting spirit of the concubines in the harem was reduced by half.

Although the empress is the lord of the middle palace, it is normal to have some special treatment.

However, they felt that it was more sour than lemons.

Originally, I thought about the emperor's birthday, so I would like to use the birthday celebration to invite pets.

It's not to come to see the emperor and empress spread dog food!

Really, now they can see it for real, the emperor really treats the empress very differently as rumored!

But if this is the case, why does the emperor disdain to see the paintings drawn by the empress himself?

After about half an hour, the palace banquet came to an end.

Fourth Master, who was the protagonist, wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.

Seeing this, the concubines looked at him secretly, but their hearts were full of anticipation.

I want to say that the emperor is about to leave.

I don't know whose palace he went to after he left, or whose signboard he checked?

However, just as everyone looked eager, fourth master walked into Ruoyin's room through the side door.

This caused the eagerness in the eyes of the concubines to immediately turn into disappointment.

Ruoyin was a little surprised by fourth master's actions.

Because fourth master ordered someone to bring her favorite meals.

For the rest of the performance, it doesn't look like she wants to stay with her.

But since he entered the inner room, she got up and said to the concubines: "It's getting late, and it's snowing heavily outside again, and it's freezing cold. When you go back, let the servants support you."

"Yes." After the concubines agreed, they left disappointed.

Ruoyin lifted his foot and entered the room.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw fourth master sitting on the armchair beside the bed.

"Today, the sisters in the harem put all their energy into pleasing the emperor. The emperor also watched the excitement all night, so why did he stay in the concubine's room?"

The fourth master heard the little emotions in her words, got up and pulled her into his arms, "It's delicious, huh?"
