Chapter 805 (2/2)
He raised his eyebrows and looked at imperial concubine Li: ”the empress once said that the king's poison was caused by his father and Emperor. That's the case, why didn't the fourth brother have a chance?”
Princess Li sneered at the corner of her lips: ”you don't have to excite the palace. You just want to know the truth of your poisoning.”
Xiao mubai took the warm cup from the handmaid who ordered tea, spoonful by spoonful, and divided a cup of tea for imperial concubine Li: ”but I hope your mother can solve her doubts.”
I don't know if Xiao mubai's sudden softness satisfied imperial concubine Li. She took a sip of tea and looked at the maid who cooked tea: ”your skill is good. I haven't seen you these days.”
The maidservant bowed her eyebrows and collected her eyes respectfully. The standard of etiquette was comprehensive, and there was a trace of joy in her tone: ”the fresh tea buds and leaves are slightly purple, and the young leaves roll back like bamboo shoot shells. It is very necessary to order tea skills, and the maidservant Xiao Yun can also do this craft. Lord Mo said that the maiden likes to drink Guzhu purple bamboo shoots most, and sent the maidservant to order tea to beg for a living for the family of mo.”
Princess Li sniffed, ”this MOGA has been so hard for so long that he is afraid of dying.”
She sipped the tea again, showing satisfaction: ”your tea cooking skill is really good. Raise your head and let the palace have a look.”
Guzhu purple bamboo shoots are originally tribute tea. Few people can cook its original tea fragrance and flavor. Even Yansu is not good at it.
Therefore, imperial concubine Li has never drunk such authentic Guzhu purple bamboo shoots for a long time.
Just as concubine Li was waiting to see the maid Xiao Yun look up, Xiao mubai invited her with tea and called out again, ”empress.”
Concubine Li's eyes turned to his face and saw him look urgent. She smiled: ”the poison was really fed to you by the emperor.”
Princess Li put down her hand holding the lamp and compared it with the stone stool to a similar height: ”that year, you were about three years old, staggering, babbling and jumping into his arms with joy. The emperor coaxed you in a warm voice and fed you the poison one by one.”
In such a late spring morning, even the breeze is warm and warm. Xiao mubai listens to her eloquent words, her bone marrow is cold, and cold sweat gradually seeps out on her forehead and body, thin and like the tip of a needle.
Princess Li looked at his hand holding the lamp. Her knuckles turned white and smiled: ”is it heartache? How hard the truth is to accept. Do you still want to know?”
Xiao Yun gently pressed Xiao mubai's wrist and added tea to his tea cup.
Xiao mubai involuntarily took back the tea cup with his fingers. The tea cup tilted slightly. The floating foam in it had not yet dissipated, and two or three points overflowed.
He looked at the beautiful imperial concubine with a fixed pair of Phoenix eyes: ”what else does the king don't know?”
Princess Li raised the pear flower to her nose and sniffed the purple red anther. Her face was as bright as the moon, as if it could illuminate the spring in the whole garden behind her. Even the white pear flower in front of her nose could not take away half of the brilliance of her white as jade cheek.
”When you were four years old, the emperor was poisoned. When you were five years old, Zhao Lansheng eliminated the loss of fragrant jade to save the emperor.” Princess Li's face showed a pleasant color of smelling the fragrance of flowers.
She gently twirled the pear flowers, then pulled out two petals, waved and said, ”it's a pity that Hou ye and Zhao Lansheng were a pair of beautiful couples in Chang'an.”
