The ladies and noble ladies were led to the Plum Garden Palace, while the princes and sons were led to the Jingchen Palace not far from the Plum Garden!

After enjoying the plum blossom banquet, the emperor and the empress led everyone to the plum garden to enjoy the flowers!

The Plum Garden Hall is located in the center of the entire plum garden. Walking up the high marble steps and standing on them, you can witness the scenery of the entire plum garden!

I heard that this plum forest was planted by the queen herself. The queen loved plum blossoms very much and would come here to plant flowers when she had nothing to do. Therefore, the emperor ordered people to build a Plum Garden Palace here for the queen to enjoy the plum blossoms and rest!

The queen was wearing a golden phoenix dress with lifelike birds paying homage to the phoenix on it. She was graceful and dignified. She sat at the head of the Plum Garden Hall.

Sitting below is Concubine Xiao, who is dressed in scarlet peony clothes. She looks charming and gorgeous, with a golden peacock hairpin on her head. The scarlet red is similar to bright red, and the peacock is like a phoenix. She seems to be competing with the Queen for supremacy!

The concubines sat on both sides in order of rank.

The Queen smiled and said, "The whole garden is filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms. I am inviting you to a plum blossom banquet today, so you must have fun!"

Everyone bowed their heads: "Thank you, Queen, for your grace!"

The queen held up the handrail, motioning for everyone to excuse themselves, and said to the senior palace maid beside her: "Jinxiu, serve the plum blossom dew!"

Jinxiu said respectfully: "Yes!"

"Plum blossom dew!"

At the command, the palace maids came in one after another, poured plum blossom dew for everyone, served plum blossom hibiscus cake, and various side dishes made with plum blossoms!

Suddenly, waves of plum blossom fragrance drifted into the lungs, making people feel relaxed and happy!

"This dew is only found in heaven, and it is rare to taste it on earth. The dew of the Queen is sweet and mellow, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is really a treasure on earth!"

The Queen smiled and said, "As long as Princess Chongyue likes it!"

Everyone looked towards Princess Chongyue, only to see that Princess Chongyue was wearing a purple dress with snow-white plum blossoms embroidered on it. Her pretty face revealed a sense of boldness!

Princess Chongyue nodded slightly: "The exposure of the queen is not only liked by Chongyue, but also by anyone who has been tempted by it, it will be full of meaning!"

"This dew, Madam, is made from the purest dew in the morning, which has been brewed for ten years. It is made from plump plum petals and buried underground for more than a year before being dug up and drunk. It has a mellow taste and the fragrance of plum blossoms. Not only Princess Chongyue likes it, but I, your servant, like it too!"

The Empress showed admiration on her face: "If I am not mistaken, you are the Grand Tutor's granddaughter Zhuang Biyao, right?"

Zhuang Biyao said respectfully, "Yes, I am the eldest granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhuang Biyao!"

The Queen smiled and asked, "How did you know how to make this plum blossom dew?"

Although Zhuang Biyao is the eldest granddaughter of Grand Tutor Zhuang, she doesn't like needlework but loves drinking!

She always secretly bought a lot of good wine and tasted it behind closed doors. As she drank more and more, she started to brew her own wine. The more wine she brewed and the more wine she tasted, she became an expert!

But she couldn't tell the Queen that she liked to drink, so she made wine and became an expert!

When she gets back, her mother will skin her alive!

After careful consideration, she lowered her head and said, "I have been well-read since childhood, and I have also seen how our ancestors made wine. Now I have tasted your wine, which is similar to what I read in the book. I was so excited that I offended you. Please forgive me!"

The Queen's eyes were filled with admiration: "I have long heard that the Grand Tutor's eldest granddaughter is exceptionally intelligent. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed well-read and knowledgeable, and very smart!"
