The queen was startled and quickly stood up from her seat, immediately heading towards the entrance of the palace to greet her.

Concubine Xian didn't expect that His Majesty and the Concubine Wang Zan would really come. She thought that Defu would find a chance to sneak out for a walk and then come back. Did she really go to His Majesty to complain?

When the queen saluted Emperor Liang, she did not forget to glance at Defu. Defu was also cautious and could not tell anyone about his troubles. How dare he not take Yu Wenliang's instructions seriously? After all, he is the person specially given to His Majesty by His Majesty, so I dare not ignore his words.

When Yu Wenliang saw his father and master approaching, he grinned and stepped forward with sixteen big white teeth.

"Father, I have really discovered a rare treasure. This Qingyou sister's Northern Dynasties tea buds have a unique taste. Come and have a taste."

Yu Wenliang directly led Emperor Liang to look at the tea platform.

Ye Qingyou was already kowtowing and saluting beside the tea table, very politely.

This was not the first time Emperor Liang saw her. He looked at her for a moment and then shouted "get up". But Emperor Liang was not happy. He was full of hostility towards everyone who came close to Yu Wenliang.

Because more than one person wanted to get close to Yu Wenliang, with cunning thoughts and evil intentions. In Emperor Liang's view, Ye Qingyou was no exception.

He had no intention of caring about whether this Northern Dynasty tea bud was a trick specially set up by the Queen, "Didn't you say that your craftsmanship is very superb? Then show it to Gao Ru and let me see my horizons."

He lifted up his front and sat across from Ye Qingyou's tea table.

Wang Zan stood aside, stroking his beard, and had been looking at Ye Qingyou since he entered the door.

Yu Wenliang was not familiar with this woman, but he had heard a little about her. It was also because of his love for Yuwen Yan that he put down his body and listened to the gossip about this woman.

Now that I see the real person, although I am not disappointed, I am not surprised either. After being granted a seat by Emperor Liang, he sat slightly behind the chair and watched Ye Qingyou making tea quietly.

The Queen hesitated to speak, and finally just sat and watched quietly, but Concubine Xian felt that she was superfluous.

But when His Majesty came, she didn't want to retreat. She personally took the fruit from her mother's hand and handed it to Emperor Liang without letting the eunuchs serve her.

Yu Wenliang has been staring at Ye Qingyou with great interest, but the more cheerful his eyes are, the more Ye Qingyou feels distracted by his eyes.

She didn't know Yu Wenliang's weight, and she didn't expect that his intentions just now would cause such a big trouble?

However, she was not afraid of making tea. After the ceremony began, she washed the cups and tea again. This time, there were no fancy moves. She only counted the number of breaths and brewed tea regularly in three levels: upper, middle and lower, including the temperature of the hot water. I used my fingernails to stick to the wall of the pot to test.

The faint clear sound was faint to the ear, but this tiny movement made Wang Zan slightly surprised, and he looked at Ye Qingyou more seriously.

Run the tea three times and pour it into the pot violently.

Then the tea was divided into four bowls, leaving out only Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian's face turned red, and she didn't dare to complain at this time. Although she is a noble concubine, she cannot be compared with the great Confucian Wang Zan.

Eunuch Li brought tea to Emperor Liang, who took a sip.

Although the queen thought it tasted good, she couldn't explain it.

Wang Zan used his hand to stir up the tea, and then drank it three times.

Each time, his look of astonishment became even greater. When the tea bowl was empty, he still wanted to drink it. He picked up Yu Wenliang's bowl and drank it too.

Ye Qingyou stood aside obediently and said nothing.

Seeing Wang Zan's expression, Emperor Liang asked, "Can I ask Confucian Wang to comment?" Wang Zan was silent and did not comment, but asked Ye Qingyou why he divided the entrance three times, "... I also divided the entrance three times, but the results were different each time. , does this have something to do with your method of stimulating tea?"

Ye Qingyou was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Wang Zan to actually ask about the way out?

However, this was a great scholar from the Liang Kingdom, so it was not unusual for him to know this method of stimulating tea.

"The first stimulation, three breaths, is for quickening; the second stimulation, two breaths, is for moistening; the third stimulation, four breaths, is for intoxication."

"Then why didn't you continue the second and third bath?" Wang Zan asked again.

Ye Qingyou paused for a moment, then spoke truthfully, "Tea buds in the Northern Dynasties originally grew between the soil and rocks in the wilderness. They taste bitter. The method of stimulating the tea is faster, so that it does not show the mania after drunkenness, making it easier to drink."

"The tea will taste spicy and fishy after two or three infusions, and then it will taste sweet again. Most people will give up on it after tasting it nine times."

Ye Qingyou spoke slowly and calmly, "The civilian girl is making tea for His Majesty, the Queen, the Confucian Master and His Highness. Naturally, she does not dare to show off the subsequent techniques, so she only stirred the tea three times, which is enough."

This statement seems to make sense, but in fact it also reveals aloofness. The people in the palace are used to being pampered, so how can they drink spicy food? I already scolded the tea maker and ran away!

How could Emperor Liang not hear something in her words? But he is an emperor after all, and he will not trouble a little girl over such details.

Yu Wenliang was very surprised when he heard this, "Didn't my sister try the next few teas for me just now? Why didn't I taste the bitter taste?"

"Because I guessed that His Highness would not like to drink it, and Minnu did not dare to waste the Northern Dynasty tea buds, Minnu added spices to confuse the taste, but she did it a bit quickly, and His Highness did not notice it." She stabbed the knife mercilessly.

Yu Wenliang: "..."

It sounded sour, but he really didn't notice it.

Wang Zan couldn't help but laugh, and he laughed very happily, "You haven't noticed any of the details. It's no wonder that the little lady doesn't show it in front of you. She still doesn't have enough skills."

"But I am very interested. You can make these nine teas one by one. I want to taste the final sweetness of the first tea, how intoxicating it is."

Emperor Liang couldn't help but feel suspicious. Even if Ye Qingyou was the daughter of Uncle Zhongyong, she wouldn't drink the Northern Dynasty tea buds as big jasmine? How could she know the taste of Jiupin tea? It sounds too mythical.

Wang Zan didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, and he didn't want to care about it. "I also want to taste it, so why don't you ask me to show you my taste?"

His tone was much kinder and his eyes were brighter.

Ye Qingyou bit her tongue, "There must be a condition."

"Nonsense, do you have to pay attention to the conditions for making tea for His Majesty and Confucian Wang? You girl is getting more and more arrogant!" The queen couldn't help scolding her, for fear that Ye Qingyou wouldn't be able to say the right words at this time.

Ye Qingyou said bluntly, "If His Majesty doesn't agree, then the folk girl's tea can't continue."

Yu Wenliang's eyes were full of curiosity, "Sister, please tell me what your conditions are. As long as they are not excessive, I will agree to it."

Ye Qingyou ignored Yu Wenliang and kept waiting for Emperor Liang's words.

"You tell me first."

Emperor Liang seemed to have noticed that she was about to reveal her secrets. The original purpose of getting close to Yu Wenliang would soon be revealed?

He knew that no one in this group had pure thoughts, especially this Ye Qingyou, who had already fascinated his fourth son and started to take aim at the younger son again?

Emperor Liang's mind had reached this point, and his eyes were already filled with murderous intent!

On the first day of 2024, I wish you all good health and prosperity, prosperity, prosperity. (This is my wish, and it automatically becomes yours)
