Xue Xuan intended to please Long Chuxia and showed that she was a better person than Concubine Qin. Therefore, after the concubines left, she stepped forward and saluted: "The Queen Mother, I saw that your empress likes to drink tea. It happens that I have been brewing it with my father since she was a child.
How about tea, let me make a pot of tea for the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother for advice."
Concubine Qin did not expect that she would do this, and had no time to stop her. She was afraid that Long Chuxia would see her appearance and get angry, so she looked at Long Chuxia worriedly.
Long Chuxia said: "Oh? Concubine Qin, right?"
Concubine Qin could only say: "My sister has indeed made tea for her father since she was a child, but her skills are not very good. She is afraid that she will not be able to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother."
"You won't know until you try it whether it can enter your mouth or not," Long Chuxia said calmly. She turned to Xiaoxun and said, "Take Xue Xuan in!"
Xue Xuan was slightly stunned. The Queen Mother actually knew her name? She looked back at Concubine Qin in surprise. Concubine Qin's face was pale and she was looking at her Queen Mother helplessly. She sneered secretly in her heart and moved to follow Xiaoxun.
Entered the inner hall
Seeing her entering, Concubine Qin didn't care that Concubine De and the Queen were present. She knelt on the ground uneasily and choked: "The Queen Mother..."
Long Chuxia didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said reproachfully: "Concubine Qin, what are you doing? Get up quickly, your sister will make tea for me. Even if it doesn't taste good, I won't punish you. You can go back and teach me."
Just teach me." Her words were so clear that they were no longer a hint. What she meant was that she would not deal with your sister. It is up to you to resolve the grievances between your sisters. Of course, there was something Long Chuxia did not say.
In a word, if you don't deal with it, she will take action. But, it won't be at this time.
The Queen also smiled and said: "Yes, Concubine Qin, what are you doing? Although you love your sister dearly, the Queen Mother is not a man-eating insect. What are you afraid of?"
Concubine De said nothing, just looked at Concubine Qin quietly.
Concubine Qin had to stand up in panic, sat on the chair again, and waited uneasily.
After about a quarter of an hour, I saw Xiaoxun walking out with a cup of tea, followed by Xue Xuan with a smile on her face.
Xiaoxun handed the tea, and Long Chuxia took it, lifted the quilt, blew the tea powder gently, took a sip, and praised: "Good tea, Concubine Qin, your sister is very clever, you should learn from her."
That's right, or you are also good at making tea, but you just don't want to serve me, right?"
Concubine Qin said fearfully: "I don't dare. I don't like drinking tea, so I haven't learned this craft. If the Queen Mother likes it, I will learn it immediately."
Xue Xuan smiled slightly and said, "If the Queen Mother does not dislike it, more courtiers will come to the palace to make tea for the Queen Mother."
Long Chuxia looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, and said: "If you don't dislike it, how can you dislike it? I just want you to run on both sides, thank you for the hard work."
Xue Xuan was slightly blessed, smiled softly and said softly: "Serving the Queen Mother is a blessing that has been cultivated for generations, so how can it be hard?" She raised her eyebrows at Concubine Qin with some pride, and Concubine Qin only felt her heartache.
Keep sinking, sinking...
Concubine De said calmly: "Concubine Qin is not in good health. As my younger sister, you should visit her in the palace more often and take care of her."
Xue Xuan looked at Concubine De and smiled slightly: "Concubine De has taught you a lesson, and I will remember it."
Concubine De was stunned, a lesson? It seems that this woman's scheme is definitely not simple. She just said it casually, and she actually talked about the lesson so lightly. This made the Queen Mother hear it, and she might even feel jealous.
It's just that Concubine De never cares about others. Now, although she is dissatisfied with Xue Xuan in her heart, she doesn't show it, she just nods slightly.
"The Emperor has arrived!" a eunuch screamed at the door
Xue Xuan was stunned for a moment and looked up, only to see a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe crossing the threshold and walking in with a smile. Her eyes did not stay on him, but fell behind him wearing a robe. The man in the dark brocade robe had a thin face, thick eyebrows, and facial features as sharp as ice sculptures. Looking at him, her heart suddenly beat violently like a drum, and there was a painful pain in her chest. The voice almost broke through the wall, "It's him, it's him. The person you've been looking for for a long time is him!"
Long Chuxia was slightly startled, looked at the man in black and smiled gently: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Feng Lingxiao. As he walked in, he responded: "Yes, Qingping said he had something to discuss with me, so he discussed it for a while in the imperial study room."
"See you, Your Majesty!" The Queen led Concubine De and Concubine Qin to salute. Xue Xuan had met the Emperor several times before and was no stranger to him. However, she was now a little lost. It was not until Concubine Qin pulled her that she came back to her senses to salute.
The emperor also said happily: "No courtesy!" He glanced at Xue Xuan and said: "Mrs. Chen has also entered the palace?"
Xue Xuan replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I will enter the palace to pay my respects to the empress dowager."
The emperor was very impressed and said: "Well, you deserve praise for your filial piety."
Feng Lingxiao sat next to Long Chuxia. Long Chuxia moved to the side and the two sat side by side. Neither the Queen nor Concubine De and Qin had seen Feng Lingxiao. Although they did not know his identity now, they saw Long Chuxia's Their actions can be roughly guessed, but what surprised the two of them was that the Supreme Emperor was not much older than the Emperor. However, the maturity, poise, depth and restraint in his actions were not comparable to that of the Emperor.
It's just that now the three of them don't know how to call them, so they stand there solemnly, a little embarrassed.
Long Chuxia smiled and said: "He is the emperor's father, so naturally he is also your father."
Hearing this, the three people knelt down quickly and said, "See you, Father!" It was the Queen who was supposed to be qualified to call Father, but since Long Chuxia had already spoken, everyone stopped being polite and called Father as well.
Feng Lingxiao smiled slightly: "Well, no courtesy!"
Xue Xuan looked at Feng Lingxiao dreamingly, feeling that he was very familiar, but racking her brains, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Seeing him sitting with Long Chuxia, she suddenly felt filled with anger. The rage was burning, making her almost want to burn up
Seeing her like this, Concubine Qin hurriedly pulled her to leave, but she was unwilling to leave, so she said: "Your Majesty, since the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty are here, why not let the daughter of the common people brew another pot of tea to warm up the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty? !" This was extremely rude. Feng Lingxiao frowned slightly, feeling disgusted that he was the Lord of Hell. Now looking at her features, she seemed to see some clues, but she was not entirely sure, so she said: " go!"
Xue Xuan was flattered, bowed quickly, and then asked Xiaoxun to take her into the inner hall.
She brewed two cups of tea, but looked at Feng Lingxiao drinking tea infatuatedly. This strange behavior was seen by everyone present. Xiaoxun was angry when she learned that she wanted to push her out. Concubine Qin was worried, seeing that her sister was so angry He was out of his mind and didn't know what she was thinking. In addition, he had resentment towards her before, so he whispered in her ear: "Come with me immediately, otherwise you will never want to enter the palace in the future!"
Xue Xuan was startled and looked at Concubine Qin angrily. Seeing that her face was livid, knowing that she was serious, she calmed down and bowed to Concubine Qin to leave.
