Yuanwan of Qing Dynasty

After the tea-picking dance was over, it was time for Concubine Quan to offer Lingyan tea. The group of people below were all extremely nervous, only Yuan Wan sat upright, with a smile on her lips. It’s too low-level to frame someone, so let’s play something fresh yes.

"It's really good tea! Concubine Quan has a heart!!" The queen mother just sniffed it, and it was indeed rich in color and fragrance. How is it possible?She clearly presented the rough tea that farmers drink today!

"Emperor Niang, Yilan went to Wofeng Tea Garden to collect this Lingyan tea for you!" Daoguang hurriedly spoke good words for Niu Hulu Yilan when he heard the Queen Mother's praise.

"No, no," Niu Hulu Yilan wanted to tell the truth, but Yuan Wan quickly interjected: "No, everyone has seen sister Yilan's misfortunes these days, so sister Yilan can't tell the truth." Be humble~”

Niu Hulu Yilan was distressed for a while, it's over, the concubine who will definitely have something good to say, she heard Ama say that the imperial court recently imposed heavy taxes, and the people's lives are in danger, she also offered this precious Lingyan tea, This, this actually hurt her!Who the hell did this? ! !

Sure enough, as soon as the queen's words came out, Concubine Yun provoked her, "Your Majesty, you don't know about it. I heard that the Wofeng Tea Garden has suffered a serious loss of tea due to the drought, but I don't know where Sister Niu Hulu came from to collect so much money." Here comes Lingyan tea~"

"Slave,, slave,," Niu Hulu Yilan didn't know what to say now, saying that she bought it in a shop outside with a lot of money must be another wave~ The price of Lingyan tea is not low, especially after listening to the Queen Mother The cup in her hand is definitely the best~

"What's the matter? Sister Quanfei can't tell? Or are you afraid to say it? You obviously bought it with a lot of money! You must know that there are many natural disasters in various parts of the country, and the emperor is worrying about the food relief and the implementation of tax cuts. Niu Hulu's younger sister didn't want to share the emperor's worries, but she made such a big deal as soon as she made a move, which is really surprising~ Or is it that Niu Hulu's family is really rich~" Cheng Fei sarcastically not to be outdone.

Niu Hulu Yilan's face was dark at first, and then she was furious. She retorted without thinking, "It is the empress's will to find Lingyan tea for the empress dowager, and it is also the duty of a slave. As long as the empress dowager likes it, I'm afraid it's okay to do everything I can." Let’s divide it~ Or, if Sister Chengfei and Sister Yun handle this matter, they will just offer low-quality tea to the Empress Dowager in a perfunctory manner?!”

"You!!!" Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yun were furious, "Slick tongue!"

"Okay, two sisters, what's wrong with Yilan's sister who found this Lingyan tea for the Queen Mother? Even if it costs a lot of money, it's her business, so what has it to do with you? Besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics !" Yuan Wan pinched the handkerchief, glanced at the empress dowager's dark face, and suddenly reprimanded her.

"Slaves are shameless! Please punish the empress!" Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yun knelt down and pleaded guilty when they saw that the big hat of being an official had been buckled.

Yuan Wan winked at them, signaling that they should apologize to the Queen Mother, not her!Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yun are scrambling to beg for mercy, you say: "The Queen Mother, the servant is wrong, the servant is just jealous of the concubine Quan's generous hand, and has no other meaning." , and ask the empress dowager to punish me, the slave has no complaints!!"

"Okay, Concubine Quan may have been 'confused' for a while, since the emperor is worrying about the disaster relief, Concubine Quan, you should take the lead in donating some silver taels that are lacking in disaster relief, just to 'make up for it', but having said that, Concubine Cheng Yun said It's not unreasonable, now that we are living a prosperous and stable life, we forget how many people are suffering in times of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Don't think that as a concubine in the harem, you have no obligation to share the emperor's worries. Sometimes Just a cup of tea can clearly see a person's nature, and this Lingyan tea is too precious to drink, don't say that Aijia values ​​luxury and loves to enjoy~ In the future, I will also add some tea that ordinary people drink to Shoukang Palace, let the Ai family feel the taste of good tea tasted by ordinary people." The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yun, who were kneeling below and still trying to provoke Concubine Yun, curled her lips, eyes flashed sharply, and suddenly I said this very carefully.

"Emperor Niang..." Daoguang just wanted to say that it was just a cup of Lingyan tea with a high price, but it was so serious that the queen mother was asked to drink tea from ordinary people. She looked at Niu Hulu Yilan and Concubine Yun concubine blamefully, thinking that if the Queen Mother really wanted to drink it, she would have to let the people below pay attention to it. It's not that you can't drink low-grade tea, it's just that the Queen Mother is used to drinking it. For a while, I drank low-grade ones, and my stomach was ruined.

"Slave complies with the order!" Niu Hulu Yilan received the reproach message from Daoguang's eyes, and immediately saluted with a bitter face, recalling in her mind what Ama had warned her a few days ago, don't cause trouble for the emperor, heh, Ama is probably the one who is in trouble now, she only brought a few pieces of plain clothes into the palace, where can there be any silver to donate?

"Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yun, if you want to donate, please join us. A good tea tasting conference must make the Queen Mother unhappy!" As soon as Niu Hulu Yilan finished speaking, Daoguang hurriedly said, Concubine Cheng Yun The concubine heard the words and hated Niu Hulu Yilan to the core. The queen mother snorted coldly and said nothing, but Yuan Wan continued with a good sense of current affairs: "All the younger sisters have donated, so naturally the queen of this palace will also donate." It’s not easy to hide it privately, and it happens that there are still some soft ones that can be taken out, which is the concubine’s kindness~”

The empress took the lead to donate, and there were some spectators who couldn't just sit still, and all of them expressed their willingness to contribute. A good tea tasting meeting became a 'fighting' scene of concubines vying to raise money for food.

Then after the tea tasting meeting, Cailan completely entered Daoguang's eyes, and Yuan Wan also pushed her out according to the original plan, and became Jing Changzai in a flash.

Kunning Palace

"Slave, thank you Empress for your advice~" Jing Changzai knelt down and saluted sincerely at Cailan, Yuan Wan signaled her to get up and answer, Jing Changzai was not polite, she knew that the queen had something to ask, but she didn't care, There is always a price to be paid for enjoying the glory and wealth!

"Well, Jingchang has been with you for almost two or three years. You followed me when you were in the mansion, right?" Yuan Wan said suddenly.

"Yes~" Jing Chang nodded.

"Then you can understand the relationship between the palace and the emperor?" She wanted to explain everything clearly to her, and asked her to work for her willingly and then...

"This,, this slave can see clearly, but I don't know, what do you mean, empress?" It's really strange that this empress has been observing for many years. It's like she doesn't want to be favored at all. If she didn't mess with her, she would live like this, and she would never take the initiative to please the emperor or anything.

"This palace can grant you prosperity and wealth. You are always here now, and in the future you can be a nobleman, concubine, concubine, noble concubine, and even... as long as you are used by this palace?" Yuan Wan said seductively.

"Empress, what you said, the slave may be able to rely on himself~" Jing Changzai blinked suddenly and said boldly, Yuan Wan was taken aback, "You really dare to say~ Oh, do you believe it?" If you don't believe me, I only need one sentence, even if you are a concubine, within three days, if I want you to die suddenly, you will have to obediently see the King of Hades~"

Jing Chang turned pale and pursed her lips and stopped talking. Although this queen does not compete for favor, she is a queen after all, and her means must not be underestimated. Otherwise, why is she not someone else when she becomes a queen? "The slave is willing to be ordered by the empress~" Finally, Jing Chang agreed after thinking about it, because she really didn't want to be a lowly servant anymore and let people order her around! !

"Very good, as long as you are obedient, you will be promoted after two months. The first thing I want you to do now is,, go to Chengqian Palace to recognize your relatives!" Then Yuan Wan threw out another letter The letter and half of the stone plaque were given to Jing Changzai, and she was asked to put her ear on it, and Jing Changzai did so. After a while, Jing Changzai stood there in a daze, not understanding what was the purpose of this?

"I believe that with your intelligence, you won't reveal your flaws, and you know how to lie. As for the letter and the real owner of the stone plaque, Bengong will help you out. From now on, your identity will be Mother Cui's own daughter!" Yuan Wan wanted to This Cailan went to meet Niu Hulu Yilan, and then took advantage of the favorable time and place for these two months to conceive her!

"Slave complies with the order!" Since the queen asked her to do so, she would do it, it's not bad anyway!

"Remember, after entering Chengqian Palace, I didn't let you move, so you just stay there obediently, don't be smart and try to climb up, take your time! You can't become fat with one bite! And don't give me Niu Hulu Yilan You will forget who you are if you benefit from it. You have made it clear to me. I just don’t use means. It’s not that I don’t have means! I only give you one chance. What did you do below, even if the emperor is willing to protect you, I will definitely make you peel off!! You better remember clearly! It is too easy for a person to disappear in the harem!!" Yuan Wan Looking at Jing Chang who was shaking a little bit, he smiled lightly, disobedient, it's ok, then wait until the time to die and don't know how to die!

"Your servant understands! This servant must keep his head and wait for the queen's orders!!" Jing Changzai knew the master's temper well, so if she said it right, she would just stay like this for the time being, and wait until she really got the favor and gained a firm foothold. . .

"Caiyan, take this palace's phoenix decree, and bring Cailan to Chengqian Palace. From now on, I will live in the side hall of Chengqian Palace!" Yuan Wan winked at another big court lady beside her, and then turned to Cailan who was about to turn around. Said: "As for the matter of recognizing relatives, let's figure it out for ourselves. You don't have to be in a hurry to make people suspicious~"

"Slave understands~Slave will leave~" Caiyan and Caiqiao both saluted and bid farewell, Yuan Wan waved their hands to let them go down, and after they had gone far away, they recruited someone to come in and whisper a few words, and it was not long before they were in the prison Caiqiao, the court lady who stole the new pearl hairpin prepared for everyone by Concubine Yun during the tea-picking dance, died suddenly because of the severe punishment.
