Chapter 26 Really good
On the east side of Jiankang, several carriages left the East Palace under the escort of the imperial guards and were about to pass Jianchun Gate and leave Taicheng. An old man in his sixties stood beside Jianchun Gate, and a team with a desolate expression came towards him.『
.
In a carriage, the deposed prince Chen Yin looked through the window and saw the waiting person at Jianchun Gate ahead. He stopped the carriage and opened the door and got out of the car, saluting the old man: "Mr. Yuan."
"Tai...Wuxing King..."
The Prince of Shangshu Pushe was the secretary of the prince Yuan Xian, and the prince of Ri, his voice was choked, and he turned his mouth to his mouth with thousands of words, saying only the word "take care". He had tried his best, but he still failed to stop the emperor from abolishing Chen Yin's position as crown prince.
After a brief farewell, the convoy continued to move forward, and the back of the carriage Yuan Xianyin was riding sighed.
Chen Yin is the eldest son of the current emperor of Chen. His biological mother, Sun, died of childbirth due to difficulty in giving birth to Chen Yin, and was raised by his legitimate mother (the crown princess) Shen, and regarded him as his own off. The emperor Chen Xu at that time also regarded Chen Yin as the crown prince.
Later, when Prince Chen Shubao ascended the throne, Chen Yin was made the crown prince and appointed Yuan Xian, who was famous, as the son of the crown prince.
Chen Yin liked to study and often talked about scriptures and teachings with princes, ministers and students in the Imperial Academy. Emperor Chen Shubao did not like the prince's behavior. In addition, Empress Shen, who disliked and did not understand the charm, gradually became dissatisfied with Chen Yin.
He favored the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua, loves the house and the two sons Chen Shen, Chen, and gradually became deposed. Yuan Xian was anxious about the prince's situation and tried every means to deal with it, but it was very effective.
Chen Yin did not abide by the rules and regulations on his daily life. Yuan Xian submitted a message to advise him and spoke earnestly. Although Chen Yin accepted it on the surface, he actually had no intention of repentance.
Empress Shen missed Chen Yin, whom she raised, and often sent people to the Eastern Palace. The prince also sent people to Queen Shen's place from time to time. Chen Shubao was very afraid of this, and Zhang Lihua also used this to stir up trouble. Yuan Xian tried his best to persuade Chen Yin but still failed to change anything.
Chen Shubao decided to depose the crown prince Chen Yin and make Shi'an King Chen Shen the crown prince. The decree became a reality today. What made Yuan Xian feel a little relieved was that Chen Yin was not deposed as a commoner but was renamed King of Wuxing and was properly placed in Jiankang City.
"Yuan Pushe, I have to report to the official family, so I will take my leave first."
A eunuch bowed to Yuan Xian with a duck-sounding voice. As a supervisor, since the deposed prince has left the palace, his responsibilities have been completed.
Yuan Xian, the beloved servant around the emperor, moved the corners of his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say it to the point of his mouth.
The tree has been completed, and it is useless to say more. The Great Chen Jiangshan is now in a storm. Although Huainan was recovered a few years ago, Yingzhou was lost. The Northern Dynasty Zhou State was about to destroy the Sui State. Not only did the Chen State not send troops at the time of the war, the official army was exhausted by the civilians in various places.
The government is worried about internal and external troubles, but the government is not enterprising. It drinks and enjoys all day long. Now it is abolished and the crown prince is abolished. It's really...ah.
The eunuch stopped, turned back to Yuan Xian's bleak back, snorted and continued walking, passing by the noisy East Palace, and saw that the old was being changed to the new ones in order to welcome the arrival of the new owner.
He walked forward quickly and came to Linguang Hall where three pavilions of Linchun Jieqi Wangxian were built. The pavilions were dozens of feet high and dozens of rooms. They were built by skilled craftsmen, and the woods used were precious sandalwood.
You have accumulated stones to make mountains, water to make ponds, and planted with famous trees and flowers. Whenever the breeze blows, the fragrance will smell for dozens of miles.
The emperor lived in Linchun Pavilion, Concubine Zhang lived in Jieqi Pavilion, and Concubine Gong and Kong lived in Wangxian Pavilion. There was a connection between the three pavilions, and concubines with talented and beautiful concubines were summoned from time to time and took turns to serve the emperor.
The eunuch entered the pavilion and followed the ladder, but heard laughter and joy coming from Linchun Pavilion. He whispered a few words to the eunuch waiting outside the door, and then stood with his hands down and did not dare to enter and disturb him.
In Linchun Pavilion, Chen Shubao sat on the upper couch, the concubine Zhang Lihua sat on the left, and Kong Guipin sat on the right, and the lower one was listed as the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling Jiang Zongduzhi, and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Shi Wenqing Chen, also on the left.
The concubines performing singing and dancing have stepped down, and everyone's attention is all gathered on Kong Guipin. To be precise, the tea set in her hand, this beautiful beauty, is now performing "tea art".
In front of Kong Guipin, there were many tea art instruments, and the tea art performance that he had never seen before was slowly kicking off.
First, "White Crane Bathing" means washing the tea set with boiling water, then "The Fairy descends to the earth" means putting the tea leaves into the tea set; next, "The flowing water of the mountains" means raising the boiling water into the teapot.
The spring breeze blows on the face, gently scraping the white foam floating in the cup with the lid or cup lid. Each technique has a name. Kong Guipin used his delicate hands and elegantly interpreted the unheard "tea brewing" like a dance.
Chen Shubao quietly spreads the fragrance of loose tea, and after a series of techniques, he turned into fragrant tea.
In the tea cup, the leaves are green, like pieces of jade dancing, the tea water is yellow and green, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless. Chen Shubao squinted his eyes and savored the tea fragrance that he had never tasted before, and before he knew it, he was fascinated.
"Okay, okay! A good tea brewing, a good Xiyangchun, it's really good!"
Opening his eyes, Chen Shubao smiled: "Dear friends, please taste this Xiyangchun!"
The palace maids presented the brewed tea to everyone here. After carefully savoring the white Mr. Jiang, he sincerely exclaimed: "The official, the empress has never tasted such a good tea!"
"The best teas in the world are made of group tea. I have never seen such loose tea, nor have I seen the method of 'making tea'. Now it is an eye-opener."
Shi Wenqing and Chen kept admiring, half flattering and half sincere. They have never seen the method of loose tea and making tea. Such tea has a much better flavor than the common tea brewing.
No need to add ingredients, just taste the fragrance of tea, this is the return to nature!
Kong Fan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The officials like it, so the Weichen can finally feel relieved. The noble concubine has practiced this tea-making technique for a long time."
"The tea art of my beloved concubine is really eye-catching. I have been drinking tea for decades and never thought that tea could be brewed, nor did I expect that making tea can have such a wonderful method."
Chen Shubao said this and laughed: "Miao, Miao!"
"The official family is even better." Kong Guipin said coquettishly. She felt relieved after practicing hard for many days.
"The beloved concubine said there is something wonderful about the future? I don't know what's the wonderful about it?"
"The tea pot I just brewed is yellow-green, but the tea I brewed for a while is another color."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hurry up, my dear concubine, make tea quickly, let me know what color it is!"
Seeing that Chen Shubao was so happy, Zhang Lihua, who was also happy, added: "Don't be anxious, the slow work is done, and Sister Kong is in a hurry, but she can't make good tea."
"Yes, my beloved concubine takes her time and brews tea slowly."
Kong Guipin used the "tea art" and was unmatched today, but Zhang Lihua didn't care at all, because her son had been made the crown prince, which was the most important thing.
Of course, the tea that Kong Guipin "made" today is indeed delicious. Zhang Lihua has never tasted such fragrant tea. When she savored the fragrance, she couldn't help but become interested in this unique loose tea.
Xiyangchun? Could it be the tea produced in Xiyang, Jiangbei?
A moment later, the pot of tea that Kong Guipin had made had been divided. Chen Shubao took the tea cup and looked at it and felt extremely surprised: "The tea turned out to be red?"
In the milky white tea cup, red soup and red leaves are accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, pleasing to the eye. It makes people feel refreshed when smelled. It still makes the fragrance linger on the mouth after a bite. He never thought that tea without ingredients could have such a beautiful color.
"Miscellaneous, wonderful!"
Chen Shubao smiled again, and after everyone present tasted the fragrant tea with red soup and red leaves with their own eyes, they also praised it: "There is actually a red and green tea, and I am very eye-opening today."
The guests and guests of the host were all happy. Kong Fan and Kong Guipin exchanged their eyes, and they were relieved. They smiled constantly, and their hearts were also excited. This was a "performance" carefully prepared by him and Kong Guipin. Now it really made the emperor happy and it was not wasteful of effort.
