Noble Qi building.
Jiang Luzhong sat by the table and held the tea that the clerk served. He blew on the hot steam and sipped it before sighing with emotion.
I remember drinking tea at Lord Wei’s place last year. It was refreshing and left a lingering fragrance in my mouth for six hours.
Wei Yuan, who was rummaging through the books on the bookshelf, said with his back to him, “”That is the tribute tea of the palace. Only three Jin is produced in three years. His Majesty is usually reluctant to drink it.”
No wonder … Jiang Luzhong came to a sudden realization and asked curiously, “”Where does such a magical tea come from?”
“From the capital.”
“There’s such a good tea in the capital? How come I’ve never heard of it?”
a woman planted it. She lives in the capital. This tea is produced in the capital. Wei Yuan’s voice was warm and mellow.
Jiang Luzhong nodded and didn’t ask any further questions. Although the tea was good, he was a martial artist and wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about tea. He had a clear and definite purpose for coming to the noble spirit building this time.
“Today, I heard from ningyan that he is like a fish in water in the Imperial Academy and is well-liked by courtesans for a reason.” Jiang Luzhong said.
“Beauties love poetry, especially women with Affairs.” Wei Yuan laughed.
No. Jiang Luzhong shook his head.”Other than poetry, there are two other secrets. They are ‘speaking deeply with strangers’ and ‘whether it will work or not’. I’ve studied it for a long time, but I’ve gained nothing … Of course, it’s not that I want to be that kind of person. I’m just curious.
Lord Wei is knowledgeable and knows everything. I am here to ask for your advice. With Lord Wei’s knowledge, you should be well aware of it.
After saying that, Jiang Luzhong saw Duke Wei turn around and stare at him faintly.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and said casually, “”Lu Zhong, you’ve been with me for almost ten years, right?”
“Yes.”
“In these ten years, you’ve done your duty and worked hard. I’ve seen it all and I’m very pleased.” Wei Yuan took out a book and said, ”
alright, I’m going to Continue reading. You may leave.
Jiang Luzhong left in a daze and returned to his own Hall.
Before he could sit down, an official came in and bowed, “”Jiang Jinluo, Duke Wei has given his orders.”
Didn’t you just chase me away … “What’s the matter?” Jiang Luzhong asked.
“Duke Wei said that Jiang Jinluo is dedicated to her duty and should continue to maintain it. For the next month, I’ll leave the night duty to you.”
After a pause, the clerk continued,”Lord Wei also said that he hoped Jiang Jinluo would pack up and move to the Yamen.” Don’t go home for the time being.”
“???”
Was this an order for a dedicated and conscientious subordinate? Was this human language? [ I’ll be on duty all night for a month. Doesn’t that mean that I can’t go to the Imperial Academy for the next month? I can’t even touch women! ]
Jiang Lu was stunned.
…………..
Xu Qi ‘an had been waiting for two hours.
Fortunately. he didn’t drink too much water on his way here, or it would have been awkward … The sun isn’t strong enough to bring out my sadness … He waited patiently, neither complaining nor urging.
However, Xu Qi ‘an noticed that every 15 minutes, there would be a Palace maid standing in the courtyard and looking at the door sneakily.
Xu Qi ‘an pretended not to notice.
The sun was bright and the spring breeze was warm. After spring, the back garden of shaoyin garden began to wake up, gradually revealing its beautiful and charming side.
The second Princess Lin ‘an, who also had peach blossom eyes and a charming and amorous temperament, sat angrily in the pavilion and directed her two personal Palace maids to play Gomoku.
As she played chess more often, she began to like teaching others how to play chess.
The two Palace maids did not have any gaming experience, but they did not dare to disobey the second Princess.
“Princess, Lord Xu is still waiting outside.” The palace maid came to report regularly.
Lin ‘an replied with a reserved ” en ” and didn’t continue.
The palace maid retreated.
After a quarter of an hour, she went over to check on the situation again. Seeing that Xu Qi ‘an was still there, she was a little touched.
Our Princess is always throwing. tantrum. Isn’t this driving an outstanding man like Lord Xu to Princess huaiqing’s side … As the thought flashed through her mind, she saw Lord Xu’s body suddenly sway and fall to the ground, unconscious.
“Aiya …”
The palace maid was anxious and ran over to check on the situation. She saw that Xu Qi ‘an’s face was pale and he was frowning in pain.
“Lord Xu, Lord Xu?” The little palace maid pushed him anxiously, looking like she was about to cry.
Xu Qi ‘an woke up slowly. He covered his chest, coughed a few times, and waved his hand. I’m fine, I’m fine. I was just too heavily injured in the battle and stood for too long just now. My injuries reappeared. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.
The little palace maid was touched and her heart ached. She advised,”Lord Xu, you should go back first. The second Princess is still in a fit of anger and won’t see you.”
“Is His Highness still in a fit of anger?”
Xu Qi ‘an was shocked. what’s wrong with Your Highness? who’s the blind one who made Your Highness angry? ” he asked.
The little palace maid was at a loss for words, thinking,”isn’t it you who made His Highness angry?”
“The guards at shaoyin court saw Lord Xu enter the palace and go to Dexin court,” she said in a low voice.
Xu Qi ‘an was silent.
Seeing that he didn’t explain, the little palace maid was a little disappointed and warned, “”Lord Xu, please return. You can come again when His Highness’s anger has subsided.”
After that, she left Xu Qi ‘an and entered the courtyard.
He walked quickly all the way to the pavilion in the inner courtyard and said in a hurried tone, “”Your Highness, Lord Xu has just fainted.”
Lin ‘an suddenly raised his head, a stunned and nervous expression flashed across his face. He then suppressed it and said lightly, “”Unconscious?”
