Skills to please

I don’t know if it was the eldest prince or Cheng Lanqing’s idea, so I asked Xue Chi to marry the fourth lady of the Pei family.

The most famous noble lady in the capital now belongs to the fourth lady of the Pei family.

The fourth lady is as beautiful as a fairy and has outstanding talent. She is twenty years old this year and has not yet gotten married because she got engaged at the age of sixteen. She almost killed her life after a serious illness.

Then, the monk advised her that if she wanted a healthy and smooth life, she would have to talk about her marriage later, and she would have to be at least twenty years old.

The Pei family quit her marriage.

The man was very worried that his son would be "defeated" and saw that the fourth lady was dying of illness, so he was eager to leave the marriage.

After she retired from the bride, she got better day by day and then she stopped getting sick.

A woman from Chu State, at the age of fifteen, discussed relatives at the age of hairpin. The negotiation process was divided into procedures. It was very complicated for wealthy families to discuss relatives. The entire process was very common for two or three years.

Therefore, it is the same as when we are 14 or 15 years old, when we get married at the age of 17 or 18 years old, and when we get married at the age of 20, we can get married at the age of 20.

It was only when I was twenty years old that I discussed the marriage. After I got married, I was afraid that it would take until twenty-three or four, and I would look a little older.

However, the character and appearance of Miss Pei Si are like this family, let alone twenty years old, even if she is over thirty years old, the person who wants to marry will break through the threshold.

It is often a property, and only women who are not powerful enough will be disliked by people as old.

"... Although Xiang Pei publicly supported me to restore the Eastern Palace, he has never been close to us. I think it was because of the staff member's mistake in doing things." The eldest prince said to Xue Chi, "It would be best if he could marry Pei."

Where is the staff going wrong?

The aide Mr. Bai came to threaten him. Pei Xiang naturally thought that the eldest prince also knew his family's secrets and could not avoid the eldest prince, so he could still get close to him?

This is a hidden danger. Even if the eldest prince is restored, he may not be able to become an emperor.

Pei Xiang is an old fox.

Xue Mei's move openly helped the eldest prince and showed the Yuan family's methods, but behind his back a strong enemy for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince also felt Pei Xiang's alienation.

Li Si talked about it since the beginning of the year. It has been almost half a year since the fifth prince’s momentum has not diminished. The sixth prince, who was squeezed out, has regained the court officials and prominent clans.

Looking back, the eldest prince found that his advantage was very little left now.

Outsiders only see the eldest prince being in a strong position, but only he and Cheng Lanqing know that they are about to lose their skills.

King Zhuang is a firm prince party. Even if the sky falls, he is loyal to the eldest prince.

He doesn't look like the emperor's son, but more like the eldest prince.

Because he was implicated in the case of the eldest prince, he still has no official concubine; he has disabled legs but he is elegant and handsome, and is more popular with women than those men with ordinary appearance.

Xue Chi needs to show loyalty.

"...Did the brother show that he refused?" Xue Mei asked.

Xue Chi: "No. Once you explicitly refuse, you may be torn apart."

"Brother should have his own position." Xue Mei said, "You are a brother and a subordinate, but not his servant. Only your servant can match them at will."

Xue Chi: "..."

Xue Mei's words were mean, which showed that she was annoyed.

I haven't seen her so angry for a long time, and she is the only thing about his affairs.

In Xue Mei's heart, I have weight.

Xue Chi only felt his heart softening, and a sour and sweet feeling poured in. The heart, which was frozen into an ice cone in the eldest prince's mansion, slowly melted.

"I'll go to the palace tomorrow." Xue Chi said, "Once I succeed, I will refuse clearly. I said that I have to decide my marriage."

Xue Mei nodded: "Come on, brother."

"come on?"

"It's just to work harder." Xue Mei said.

Xue Chi laughed.

The next day, he indeed entered the palace.

After Xue Chi returned to Beijing, he never came to the palace, let alone the emperor.

Now that he entered the palace, he did not go to see the emperor, but to meet Concubine De.

Concubine De is the heart of a Bodhisattva - anyone can worship her, she smiles at everyone, kind and gentle, but she does not put anyone in her heart.

It is all delusion to want to curry favor with her, beg her to favor, or do things.

Gradually, everyone understood Concubine De's temper. Even though she had an unusual relationship with the emperor, others would not follow her path.

Those who come to her are just sitting.

Xue Chi is here too.

"...I heard that the Empress likes the Tea Classic very much." Xue Chi said.

Concubine De really likes making tea, and discusses tea: "Have you read the "Tea Sutra" too?"

Xue Chidao is.

Then, he talked about tea with Concubine De.

According to legend, there is a tea art that can make all kinds of flowers in the water, which is vivid.

After hearing this, Concubine De was even more interested: "This is not a legend. I remember that in the seventh year of Jianhong, a master came to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager and brewed such tea.

Unfortunately, she passed away a few months later and her craft has not been passed down. I also like making tea since then."

Xue Chi: "I accidentally obtained a book called "Tea" and there is a record of this kind of tea art. The book is a lonely book and was destroyed a few days ago.

Fortunately, my sister remembered it after reading it, and copied it all. She wanted to give it to the Empress, but she was afraid of offense."

Concubine De's eyes lit up: "Is there really such a book?"

"yes."

"Take it and let me take a look."

Xue Chi took out the book "Tea Brief" from his arms, which was about a few thousand words, and it talked about three ways to make a fancy way.

As Concubine De read, she was fascinated and actually forgot that Xue Chi was still there.

After getting familiar with it, she asked the palace maid to bring tea and hot water.

After an afternoon of attempt, Concubine De finally brewed a flower in the water. It only appeared and disappeared in a few breaths.

Even so, she was extremely happy.

"You are still filial!" Concubine De said happily, "If you have good books in the future, don't be afraid of offense and send them in directly. You are the prince, why should we see each other like this between mother and son?"

Xue Chidao is.

He left the palace.

Well-informed, he quickly spread this matter throughout the capital, and everyone who should know it knew it.

The emperor also heard about it.

When he went to Defei's place, he saw her brewing a peony tea. He was as happy as a girl, and his eyes were shiny.

"It seems that King Zhuang is trying to please him." The emperor casually picked up the tea and took a sip, "What did he ask for?"

"He didn't say it."

"Didn't say it?"

"I didn't say it, just say it." Concubine De smiled, "He asked for protection. Someone in the court must have made him embarrassed, and he had no choice but to force him. When I spoke, I said that I liked the book he gave me very much.

No matter who makes him embarrassed, he probably has to consider it. To be honest, he is very pitiful. Alas, it is not easy, but he looks weak and smart."

The emperor's expression was faint.

There are too many pitiful people in the world, so I can sympathize with you everywhere?

As princes, they are rich and well-off, able to study, and have servants in and out, which is much better than ordinary people. What else is there to be pitiful?

If you can live, you will not be pitiful.

You should know that the process of the emperor's growth is a process under the death threat of powerful ministers and clans. What he experienced and endured was definitely not comparable to that of his sons.

Therefore, the emperor may be jealous of the sons who were hiding under his wings to enjoy wealth and glory. When he got up, he drove them to a barbaric land to eat sand.
