Behind this nameless door was a very quiet little yard. It was a normal courtyard house with both main house and side rooms. There was an ancient well in the middle and an indescribable variety of flowers, plants and trees in the middle.
There was a red clay stove for brewing tea on the stone table under the shade of a tree, inside it were pieces of red charcoal. As a Emperor, Zai Chun had good eyesight, after looking at the charcoal's appearance and smell, he knew that it was the best walnut charcoal.
Paleogene's method of brewing tea was very particular. Whatever water it was, what fire it was, what utensils it was, whatever tea leaves it was, everything came in one set!
The designated hickory was the kind of walnut with thick, firm skin. They would choose the same size and use it to make chunks of hickory charcoal according to the process of burning charcoal!
Using this charcoal to make tea, it was hard to say how delicious they would be, but at the very least, it was exquisite enough, and in Xiao Letian's words, they had to be strong enough!
A simple and unadorned iron pot had already begun to rumble. The Old Eunuch's tea servant lifted the lid and sent in a cup of dark tea. It was hard to tell what kind of tea it was!
However, after it became like water, the fragrance of the flowers began to disperse!
”Is this jasmine tea?” Zai Chun asked.
”No, this is the Hundred Blossom Tea Powder. Back in the days, it was created by the Queen with kindness and filial piety. This is the most beloved of the Queen. There aren't many of them left in this world …”
filial piety and filial piety in Queen? Zai Chun thought about it carefully, he did not know who this filial Queen Xu was, he had never heard of him, but today he found it strange. No matter how suspicious Zai Chun was, he would not ponder over this issue for too long, as if he had forgotten about it!
”Aiyo, this tea of yours sure is beautiful. It's been a while …”
In the servant's hand was a simple bamboo tea cup with three carved plum blossoms. The pattern was not unusual, and what was rare was that this layer of sap carried the imprint of time!
The color of the tea had already changed to a dark red color. Especially since the handle that he was holding had gone through many years of human friction and had turned purple.
”Aiyo...” This tea can't be served in twenty years! ”
”Year?” The tea servant narrowed his eyes and said, ”old slave can't remember how long it has been since the last time, when the palace craftsmen gave it to Queen … I remember that it's still a topaz color, and this shake should be four to five hundred years ago! ”
Today, Zai Chun had truly become bewitched. Even if he was a Idiot, he would be able to know exactly what this treasure represented for the past four to five hundred years.
This meant that this filial piety Xu Queen was not Queen at all, he was definitely the master of the imperial palace!
An old tea servant eunuch who seemed to be of unknown age used the Hundred Blossom Tea Powder that was invented by Queen Xu and the bamboo tea from before.
This was clearly a ghost, this eunuch was clearly a ghost eunuch!
But Zai Chun didn't feel it at all, after listening to so many things, he nodded his head, and really threw himself down, without showing any sign of a normal person's reaction. It was as if everything that Zai Chun did was very normal for him!
”Fragrant!” Why is this tea so fragrant? I've never had a drink before... ”Give me another one, I'm dead thirsty …”
One after another, Zai Chun's thirst and irritation from just now were completely swept away!
After consuming these few fragrant tea, Zai Chun suddenly felt that this Old Eunuch was as trustworthy as his old friends that had been friends for many years. It was as if he had really drunk his tea when he was young!
”Tea slaves!” ”Why can't I remember the last time I saw you?”
