Zong Qiongyao's beautiful jade is flawless

"The "Tea Classic" has a saying: "The spring at the top of the mountain is light and clear, the spring at the bottom of the mountain is heavy and turbid, the spring in the stone is clear and sweet, the spring in the sand is clear, the spring in the soil is thick, the flowing one is good, the one with negative yin wins, the mountain is thin and the spring is few, and the mountain is beautiful. God, the stream water is tasteless.' There are different kinds of water for making tea, such as Tianquan, Tianshui, Autumn Rain, Plum Rain, Dew, and Knocking Ice. The white jade urn hides the snow water from the calyx of last year's plum blossoms to make tea, which is quite interesting, but only my elder brother who has cultivated himself on Mount Wutai for a long time can have such a leisurely mood, how could we have such kung fu."

The innocent and lively voice of the little girl caught Qianlong's attention. Is this Qi Buchen?Then the elder brother she was talking about should be Yongzheng. This is also a strange thing about Qianlong. Qi Buchen has always been called only brother Yongzheng, and the other brothers are called with rankings. When did they get so close? I haven't met a few times, and Yongzheng and I are not so close.

Qianlong, who once again resented his son for not being close to Ama, looked over there curiously, and saw Yongzheng and Qi Buchen making tea and drinking under the peach tree not far away.The weather in early spring was still cold and damp, a tiger skin blanket was spread on the floor, and on the small table made of huanghuali wood, there were Yixing purple sand pots, Jingdezhen ginkgo cups and other utensils for making tea.

Qianlong's eyes were completely attracted by Yongzheng. Yongzheng knelt on the tiger skin, made tea, scraped the foam, poured the pot, scalded the cup, sprinkled the tea, and poured the tea. .Yong Xing has a smile on his face and is as warm as jade. Yong Xing, who is wearing a red velvet cloak, usually looks pale and rosy, and the peach blossoms are falling on his shoulders.

Qi Buchen next to him was dressed in a lake-blue flag dress and a white fox cloak, holding a teacup and smiling coquettishly, sitting with Yongzheng like a golden boy and a jade girl in front of the Guanyin seat.But somehow Qianlong suddenly felt that she was such an eyesore?Qi Buchen, you are actually wearing a cloak made of white fox fur hunted by Yongxin, sitting on a blanket made of tiger skin hunted by Mulan Qiuyong last time, and drinking tea brewed by Yongxin!I, I have never drank it!Yong Xin never gave me a gift!

Qianlong was deeply depressed, but was Qianlong an emperor, or a somewhat willful emperor, as long as he thought what was not his?So he stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between Yongzheng and Qi Buchen: "You two little guys are very elegant, but I don't know if there is a cup of tea from me?"

Seeing Qianlong's arrival, Yongzheng and Qi Buchen stood up and saluted. Qianlong sat down and said, "Don't be so polite, I didn't expect Yongzheng to have such a good tea art, but I can smell the fragrance of tea from a long way away." .”

"Etiquette cannot be discarded. Huang Ama's kindness is not an excuse for Yongzhen to be arrogant and ignorant of etiquette." Yongzhen still finished the ceremony: "Yongzhen dare not say that he is superb at tea. Drinking tea is always in Mount Wutai. As a hobby to pass the time while praying for the Qing Dynasty, tea art is nothing more than practice makes perfect, and Huang Ama sees it as an honor for Yongxin."

Yong Xing surrounded the three teacups together, and shuttled between the three cups with a flushing can until each cup was [-]% full.At this time, the tea in the pot should also be closed and poured out, and the rest of the tea needs to be tapped into the three cups one by one.What "Guan Gong patrols the city" and "Han Xin dispatches soldiers" is done freely.The amount and color of the tea in the three cups are even and the same, and people can't help but praise the skillful work.Finally, Yongzhen offered the poured tea to Qianlong with both hands.

Qianlong took it, and saw that it was a high-quality Tieguanyin; when he smelled it, the fragrance was strong, strong and long-lasting, and the fragrance of flowers was fresh and refreshing.Once you drink it, the mouth, tongue, teeth, and gums all have a stimulating and sharp feeling.

"Good! Not only the tea is good, but the tea art is also good." Qianlong praised three good things in a row: "Yongzhen is really self-effacing, your tea art is not good, who else is better?" Qianlong always surprised himself with this The son is very satisfied, wise and courageous, gentle and polite, friendly to his brothers, he is a model of a modest gentleman.

"Exactly." On the other hand, Qi Buchen also chimed in: "As far as I know, the Four Books and Five Classics, riding and shooting martial arts brother needless to say, my brother also dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony and wine tasting, and he is proficient in the art of Qihuang. Obviously. My brother is the most powerful, and he always likes to be humble and doesn't like to show off. Qi Buchen can ask his brother if he doesn't understand anything, but he just can't help his brother, Qi Buchen feels that his self-esteem has been hurt!"

"Oh, there is such a thing? I didn't expect Yongzhen to be proficient in the technique of Qihuang?"

Last time, what Yongzheng revealed in San Age Mansion could not be hidden from others. Instead of being discovered and used by others in the future, it is better for him to tell Qianlong now that he is proficient in medical skills, so he readily admitted: "Yes, Master Wuxu of Wutai Mountain is good at medical skills. He is very skilled." Paradoxical explanation, Master Wuxu is indeed good at medicine, but he did not say that he learned his medical skills from Master Wuxu, so this is not considered deception.

Qi Buchen jokingly talked about the last time Yongzheng punished Manager Qian with tickling powder, which made Qianlong laugh out loud, and the whole atmosphere was joyous.

Yong Xin's body has always been afraid of the cold, and he would choose such a cold time to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and make tea, not just to get closer to Qianlong.No, Yong Xin's follower is here.

"Where is Rong Momo going?" Yong Xin called out Rong Momo who was passing by in the distance with sharp eyes: "But what's going on with Empress Huang'er?"

"Greetings to the emperor, the emperor is auspicious; greetings to the little master, and Qigege. Forgive the old servant for being blind, I didn't see all the masters in a hurry just now." Aunt Rong took the eunuch who was holding a tray behind them and saluted them: "Mr. As for the master, Huanzhu Gege has just entered the palace. Although the concubine Ling is taking care of her now, she still needs to care about her as a aunt, but she is worried that she is used to being serious and scaring Gege, so she just sent the old slave to send some things for Gege .”

Qianlong raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect the queen to be quite virtuous.Also, in recent years, the Queen has eaten vegetarian food, recited Buddha, and cultivated her character. Although she still respects the rules, the rumors that the palace treated her harshly to the palace people have really disappeared, and she has never treated the princes and princesses equally.

"Huanzhugege, is that sister who was shot by the fifth brother?" Yongzhen pretended not to see Qianlong's embarrassed eyes when he mentioned Huanzhugege: "Yongzhen hasn't seen her yet, I heard that she The injury was not serious, and Yongxin was not easy to disturb, but a few days ago Huanzhugege talked, laughed and drank with the fifth elder brother in Yicui Pavilion, and it seemed to be a good thing. Choosing a day is worse than bumping into the sun, and Yongxin also talked with the mother Let’s go to Huanzhugege together.”

"I'll go too, I'll go too!" As the younger brother's little tail, Qi Buchen responded positively: "Prince Huanzhu is now living in the side hall of the Yanxi Palace, and the mother and concubine are very busy taking care of Huanzhuge. I also go to pay my respects to my concubine."

Qianlong recalled that he had never seen Xiaoyanzi since he accepted her as his adoptive daughter. Qianlong had complicated feelings for this woman who was suspected of being a daughter. Now that her identity investigation has not come out, he is not at ease when his two favorite sons and daughters go to see Huanzhugege alone, so Qianlong decided to take care of her: "I will go together too."

……

Qianlong took Yongxuan and Qi Buchen to the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ling got the news that Qianlong was coming in advance, she dressed up very carefully, and greeted her after the notification sounded at the door.

"The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is auspicious." With a graceful figure and a soft voice that can squeeze water, the concubine did not forget to cast a subtle wink when saluting.

"Yongzhen has met the concubine Ling, the concubine is auspicious.", "Greetings to the concubine mother, concubine mother is auspicious." Yongzheng and Qi Buchen came up from behind Qianlong to greet the concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling's expression froze, she didn't expect these two brats to follow the emperor.She naturally didn't want to see Yongzheng as the queen's son, and she didn't like Qibuchen as her daughter very much. After a serious illness at the age of three, we became estranged from her a lot. Except for the daily greetings and her, he was not close to her at all. Brother named Qi Buchen as his boudoir, as if he was the biggest brother.Does she remember?No!Will not!What a three year old can remember.

However, Concubine Ling quickly collected her thoughts, and said in a loving and gentle voice: "Brother Twelve, you don't need to be too polite, you are really a slave. The same is true for Xiaoqi. I haven't seen Concubine Mother for so long, and I still pay so much for coming here." Li, don't get close to mother and concubine much."

Concubine Ling didn't cry out, neither did Yongzheng, so she wouldn't give her a chance to frame him for his lack of manners.Qianlong saw that his son was still saluting, so he pulled Yongzhen up impatiently: "Concubine Ling just call it out, why is there so much nonsense, and she still calls herself a servant girl, and she has lost her identity for no reason."

Concubine Ling originally wanted to show her approachable and loving motherly demeanor, in contrast to the empress' rigidity and coldness, so as to win over this legitimate son and make their mother and son separate.Unexpectedly, the emperor would accuse her so much, so the concubine Ling showed grievances, and her eyes were watery.

Before Lingfei could speak, Qi Buchen interjected instead: "My concubine has misunderstood Qi Buchen, Qi Buchen visits and greets my concubine every day, but my concubine doesn't have time to take care of my princess. Pay attention to Qi Buchen, Qi Buchen doesn't want to disturb the concubine and cause trouble to the concubine, so he salutes in the main hall every day before going back to the princess's place." Qi Buchen also looked aggrieved and wanted to cry, accompanied by a lovely She has a small face, but she is even more lovable than Concubine Ling.

The concubine Ling didn't want to gain the reputation of being unkind to her mother, so she hurriedly comforted Qi Buchen: "Xiao Qi, don't be sad, it's all the fault of the concubine mother, it's the concubine mother who misunderstood Xiao Qi." The stinky girl with her elbows turned outward!

Don't think I don't know why Xiaojiu is always sick recently, Qi Buchen still cares about this sister very much, if he just hated Lingfei's indifference to her before, now he hates Lingfei's uncompromising methods to win favor up.But no matter what, Qi Buchen's identity is still the daughter of the concubine Ling, so Qi Buchen can only accept it as soon as she sees it, "Then the concubine mother will not blame Qi Buchen, right?" , with a charming daughter's attitude: "I know that the concubine is the best. The concubine, Qi Buchen, hasn't seen the new Princess Huanzhu, and today she brought Huang Ama and brother here to play with Princess Huanzhu. Concubine Mu, please recommend Qi Buchen."

Seeing Qianlong nodding his head, Concubine Ling took them to the side hall.I saw that the door of the side hall was closed, and there was not even a gatekeeper at the door.

It is said that in this side hall, the little Yanzi is lying on the ground, and four people, Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, Mingyue, and Caixia, are throwing dice and gambling.The four palace maids and eunuchs all obeyed Xiao Yanzi's orders, lying on the ground, enjoying themselves.

Who knew that Qianlong and his group would suddenly "arrive"?No one was sent to guard the door, and when Qianlong's personal eunuch Wu Shu came, "The emperor is here, the concubine is here, the twelve elder brothers are here, and Qi Gege is here", Qianlong and his party were already standing in front of the little swallow.

The little swallow was startled and jumped up from the ground in a hurry.Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, Mingyue, and Caixia all changed their colors, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they panicked.Everyone got up from the ground.Before they could stand still, they raised their eyes and saw Qianlong, and knelt down again with a "plop plop plop".Kneeling together, they were in a hurry, hats, hairpin rings, dice, copper plates... rolled all over the floor.

Little Swallow was flexible in her hands and feet, and hurriedly knelt down on the spot: "Little Swallow respectfully invites the emperor Ama to be safe, and the imperial concubine to be safe!"

Seeing how messed up the crowd was, Qi Buchen laughed inwardly: "What is this sister doing? It's so lively!" Qi Buchen said with a curious face.

Qianlong frowned, terrified, looking at the mess all over the floor: "Little Yanzi, what are you..." Seeing the dice, Qianlong was furious, glared at the four of Xiao Dengzi, and shouted: "Who brought the dice in?"

Little Yanzi was afraid that the four of them would be scolded, so she hurriedly complained: "Huang Ama! Don't scold them, I forced them to find me for me, if you are idle, you are idle, just pass the time!"

Hearing this, Qianlong was even more displeased. He snorted, glared at the eunuchs and maids, and cursed: "Gathering a crowd in the palace to gamble, what does this sound like? Have you learned the palace rules for nothing? You are so bold! Good job!" A Gege, you have led him to ruin!"

Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, Mingyue, and Caixia knelt on the ground, and Lai Lai trembled, so they could only kowtow and beg for mercy, "We... slaves deserve to die!"

Concubine Ling raised her eyebrows, and immediately said: "What do you mean 'our slaves deserve to die'? Who is 'us' to you? What kind of rules do you have?" Concubine Ling was born as a slave, and now she is a master, and she can't bear it the most Others used her background as an issue, and their "we" can be said to have touched her bad luck.

Little Swallow hurriedly shouted again: "I want them to say 'we'! Huang Ama, Lingfei empress, if you want to beat or scold, you can do it to me, don't blame them all the time!"

"You! You really owe me discipline, don't you know any rules!" Qianlong's face was so ugly, Little Swallow secretly screamed that something was wrong, and confronted Qianlong: "I don't know the rules of the palace. !"

Concubine Ling hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, little Yanzi has just entered the palace, so she doesn't know the rules of the palace. Isn't it the innocence of little Yanzi that you like?" Little Yanzi gave her a grateful look.Qianlong was depressed, when did I say that I liked the innocence of Little Swallow?

It is rare for Yongzhen to agree with Lingfei: "Huang Ama, what Lingfei's empress said is also reasonable. It was just right that Huanzhu Gege was injured before. I am afraid that I haven't had time to learn the rules of the palace; but Lingfei's empress also said some things. Now, this crowd-gambling is not innocent."

"Okay, read in Yongzheng to intercede for you, it is also true that you just came from outside the palace. From tomorrow on, you will go to the study room on two days to learn how to write and read from Master Ji; on one day, let Concubine Ling bring the nanny to teach you the rules ! If something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely beat you! You are not joking, you better believe what I say!"

The imperial concubine squatted down and saluted: "Yes, your majesty, the concubine is taking the decree." Satisfied in his heart, the emperor actually let the little swallow go to the study room. .As for Elder Brother Twelve, I will make you look good sooner or later!

Little Yanzi backed away suddenly, her face changed drastically, and she shouted anxiously: "Huang Ama! Why did you do this?"

"I know what it means to be 'proud of being favored' and what is meant to be 'love it, and do harm to it'! I can't pamper you anymore!"

As soon as Qianlong used the idiom, Little Swallow was confused and worried, and without thinking about it, he shouted angrily: "What's a 'worm call', what's 'warm squeak warm squeak'? Huang Ama , don’t drag me, you don’t like me betting money, I just don’t want to bet, you hand me over to this nanny, don’t you give the chicken to the weasel? Next time you want to find me, maybe even There are no bones to be found!"

Qianlong was so angry when he heard the little swallow's "it's a worm" and "nuanzhinuanzhi".To such a little swallow, I really couldn't bear it, my face was hard, and I sternly shouted: "I have already decided! No more arguments! I say to learn the rules, you must learn the rules! You are so ignorant and incompetent, I can't help it Be patient!" Then she turned around and shouted, "Concubine Ling"

"The concubine is here!" The concubine Ling replied crisply.

"I handed her over to you!"

"Yes, after ten days, my concubine will definitely give you a handsome princess." The proud concubine Ling didn't see the meaningful smiles of Yongzheng and Qi Buchen behind her: now the concubine Ling is completely tied to the same boat as Huanzhugege , she will suffer in the future.
