Chapter 58 Tea Bureau

Shangguan Yue was so busy this time that when Xiao Xianfeng appeared in front of her, she remembered that she had not met him for a long time. Xiao Xianfeng looked a little cramped and mumbled something, "I will compete in the arena tomorrow. Can you watch the match? I don't expect to win, but I still want to try my best." Shangguan Yue felt a little ashamed of this infatuated big boy. She had long preferred to seal Xuanrui in her heart, and the contest for marriage has now become a farce. It's just that there is no turning back, and people from all over the world come to Beijing in an endless stream, so there is no reason to end halfway. She wanted to tell Xiao Xianfeng not to take part in this boring game, but what she had already said turned into. "Xiao Gongzi, in fact, with your conditions, you can find a better girl than me." Xiao Xianfeng's face turned pale. "You mean, I have no hope at all." "That's not what I meant." Shangguan Yue did not dare to look Xiao Xianji's disappointed eyes. "Don't worry, I will be there tomorrow." Xiao Xianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "The Queen Mother has promised that she will join me when the time comes." The Queen Mother always didn't like to fight and kill, and promised to go to Rosefinch Terrace to watch the war. Naturally, it was on the face of Xiao Xianfeng, her favorite grandson. Xiao Xianfeng brothers also came to gather together this excitement, which surprised her. If I had known that these two silly boys were interested in Shangguan Yue, I only needed her to solve the problem by an imperial decree. I didn't need my little buddies to compete with so many rivals. Now, I can only let fate take its course. There is no lack of martial arts experts in the challenge arena. If nothing else, Tuoba Hong of Beiyan and Yu Wentai of Xiyu are no rivals. However, she was still very happy to see her little grandson's heroic bearing in the challenge arena. The Queen Mother is so interested that the Daliang State is based on filial piety. The emperor has to go to the scene to help, and the harem and nobles have to accompany him. Yu Wang Feng Xuanyue and the Minister of Rites held urgent discussions to replace Xiao Xianfeng's opponent with Yu Lin's son of Qingguo's public house. Feng Yulin is also a beautiful teenager, but his body is weaker and he is not Xiao Xianfeng's opponent at all. Sure enough, the Queen Mother had just let out the wind that she was going to watch the battle at Rosefinch Terrace, and the Emperor, Queen and Qi Guifei were also ready at once. When the nobles and ministers heard the news, they all came to the scene and occupied a brocade shed. Feng Xuanrui's poison has been removed, and now he is recovering from his wounds in the house. At the invitation of Xiao Xianfeng, he also arrived at the scene. With Shangguan Yue four eyes in the eye, two people can't help but dumb smile. Knowing that the Queen Mother was picky, the opponents arranged on this day were not bad. They were all young swordsmen of the same age and the same weapons. As soon as they met, they began to confront each other with speed, speed, rigidity, and no cleverness. This style of play yields quick results. The winner is humble and courteous, while the loser simply concedes defeat and steps down. He acts with temperament and is very open and aboveboard. Soon it was Xiao Xianfeng's turn and Feng Yulin's turn to enter the challenge arena. Two expensive childe, with their faces like crown jade and delicate body and meat, walked lightly to the middle of the challenge arena. An appearance drew applause from the whole house, as if this was not a contest, but a performance match. Xiao Xianfeng saw that his opponent was Feng Yulin and didn't put him in the eye at all. In order to make the Queen Mother happy, she flew all over the field like Hua Hudie, showing all his best-looking and most stylish posture. Sometimes, Feng Yulin's offensive accidentally blocked the tricks he was going to show, and he had to stare at others. In spite of his busy schedule, he did not forget to choose an angle to show a charming smile to the monarch. The Queen Mother immediately couldn't stand up with laughter. She gasped and waved with her hand and said, "Fenger, enough is enough. Don't show off. You are in gallants. You are competing. At least respect Brother Yulin." Xiao Xianfeng saw that everyone in the audience was laughing their heads off and performing almost as well. He easily forced Feng Yulin into the challenge arena by using a trick of "falling into profusion". The referee took the stage and raised Xiao Xianfeng's hand. "This time, Xiao Xianfeng Xiao Gongzi won." Although the atmosphere of this competition is warm, it is similar to juggling, and the traces of performance are too heavy. The first game can make people laugh, and then people feel boring again and again. The emperor's face was not ready, and the queen mother also said she was tired. As soon as the two important figures left, the ministers also dispersed in twos and threes. Shangguan Yue was about to leave, but Shangguan Yu came to her side. "Yue, are you still used to living in Houfu?" Under the eyes of the public, Shangguan Yue had to say, "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for thinking about it. Thanks to Princess Royal and Hou Ye, there is nothing unaccustomed." Shangguan Yu looked around and said carefully, "Our father and daughter haven't seen each other for some days. Is it okay for my father to talk to you?" The father of the original owner was the prime minister of the current dynasty. He was so powerful that Shangguan Yue could not bear to be so humble in front of his daughter. "Shangguan adults might as well say something straight. There is nothing between us that cannot be said to others." The monarch's every move was particularly concerned in the presence. Shangguan Yu coughed awkwardly. "The monarch chooses a son-in-law, which attracts worldwide attention. It's just a marriage event, not a child's play. There are some words that I still want to tell you a thing or two for my father." Shangguan Yue never looked good at Shangguan Yu, but the prime minister never got angry. He was still right with Yan. Shangguan Yue suddenly sympathized with him. Tiger poison still does not eat children. After many things, perhaps Shangguan Yu has sincerely repented and wants to treat his daughter well. With compassion, Shangguan Yue didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone. "Now that you have arranged it, I will go with you." There is a teahouse beside Rosefinch Terrace. The outside looks like an ordinary teahouse. Unexpectedly, the inside is surrounded by corridors, carved beams and painted buildings. It is very luxurious. Shangguan Yue lamented that Shangguan Yu was really generous. In order to meet her, he did not hesitate to pack the whole teahouse, which was really a luxury. Unexpectedly, a maid-in-waiting greeted her. "Lord Shangguan, the Imperial Concubine Empress has been waiting for a long time." Shangguan Yue couldn't help but be stunned. "Shangguan adult, don't you want to talk to me? How can an imperial concubine come out?" Shangguan Yu rebuked lightly, "Yue son, don't be rude to the imperial concubine empress!" Shangguan Yue felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. He was about to quit when the imperial concubine Qi had already welcomed him. "When the distinguished guest arrived, it was not far away!" Shangguan Yu came forward to see the ceremony. "The old minister visited the Imperial Concubine Empress." "Lord Shangguan, don't mention it." Qi Guifei turned and affectionately took Shangguan Yue's hand, looking up and down and paying homage. "I heard that the monarch looks beautiful and truly beautiful. When I met him that day in Rosefinch Terrace, my heart immediately itched. I wanted to be close to you, but I was afraid that the monarch would excuse me, so I asked Shangguan to introduce me and asked the monarch not to take offense." Qi Guifei said so politely that Shangguan Yue had to smile: "Imperial Concubine Empress is too flattered." Qi Guifei's delicate and white fingertips crossed a small arc in the air, and her skirt moved slightly, giving her a fragrant smell. "When I entered the palace, I was younger than you. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years passed quickly. When I saw you, I remembered when I was young..." Qi Guifei's lips opened gently and her eyes moved, as if she were still a young girl in 28. Just because of this nostalgic sadness in my eyes, Shangguan Yue relaxed his tense nerves when he first came in. A maid-in-waiting served tea, and the air of Zhilan immediately filled the whole room. Shangguan Yue was just thirsty, so he reached for it. Tea is transparent with a faint green and a faint fragrance. She took a sip and only felt that the tip of her tongue was slightly sweet. A smell of tea slowly oozed from her nose to her throat, and her limbs were full of skeletons. It was an unspeakable relief. Shangguan Yue couldn't help sighing, "It's really good tea! Looking at the world, I'm afraid I can't find any more precious tea than the Pixia Palace of the Imperial Concubine."
