Chapter 217 I drank some wine
Chapter 217 I drank some wine
Some people can't wait to leave, but some people just want to stay a little longer, like Wang Leyao.
"Okay, you go back first." Emperor Yongjia said to Wang Leyao who was fiddling with making tea nearby.
Wang Leyao put the teapot back on the stove to warm it up. "But Your Majesty, you haven't even tasted the tea I made for you."
Just now at the window, she wanted to hand it over, but the emperor just walked away without taking it.
For the first time, Wang Leyao doubted her cooking skills, thinking that the taste was not to Emperor Yongjia's taste.
Apart from anything else, Wang Leyao is very confident in tea art.
People nowadays advocate drinking pure tea, which is tea brewed directly from tea leaves.
What Wang Leyao learned was how to make tea from his ancestors. The nobles also imitated their ancestors and wanted to experience the skill of making tea.
Ordinary people can't eat it, and her cooking skills were specially taught by a master invited by her family, so Wang Leyao is very confident.
Emperor Yongjia had eaten her several times and said that her cooking skills were good, so Wang Leyao felt that this was what set her apart from other concubines.
Today, because Emperor Yongjia turned over her name card at night, she came to show her courtesy in advance.
Emperor Yongjia said calmly, "Put it aside for now, you can go back."
It means drink it later.
Wang Leyao felt a little unhappy, but she could only smile in front of Emperor Yongjia.
And she was used to it. Emperor Yongjia didn't like to smile, and it seemed that he treated everyone like this.
But for some reason, her admiration and love for him did not diminish because of his alienation and coldness.
On the contrary, every time she accepted his kindness, she felt that she was lucky to be his woman.
Liu Qiuniang was favored before, and now this good fortune has finally come to her.
When Qin Liuse came over just now, Wang Leyao was indeed a little uneasy, so she came out holding the teapot.
She couldn't help feeling unhappy when she thought about Qin Liuse monopolizing so much favor from Emperor Yongjia.
But it doesn't matter. No matter how favored she is, she just saw that the emperor didn't treat her very warmly.
Wang Leyao knows her strengths and weaknesses, so she won't do anything on purpose in front of Emperor Yongjia.
She was always obedient in front of him.
So when Emperor Yongjia said this, Wang Leyao said tactfully, "Then I will withdraw first."
After saying this, she threw a pair of seductive eyes at Emperor Yongjia, "Your Highness will be waiting for you tonight."
But it was like throwing a wink to a blind man, because Emperor Yongjia didn't even look up.
Wang Leyao stood up and walked out, and Emperor Yongjia looked up at her back.
But it was more like he was looking at something else through her back.
Emperor Yongjia shook his head expressionlessly. It was good that he was sensible and obedient.
It would be nice if other people were as obedient as this.

Qin Liuse came out of the imperial study and walked back towards Shu Yuexuan.
Qingqing was somewhat sad, "I thought that by coming here..." the Emperor would reconcile with her Concubine.
But Qingqing didn't dare to say the rest of the words, for fear that her master would be unhappy after hearing it.
In fact, Qin Liuse was not unhappy at all, it was just that people who felt sorry for her were unhappy for her.
Walking through the bamboo garden near Shu Yuexuan, Qin Liuse saw Nuanchun Pavilion next to the bamboo forest and suddenly had an idea.
"Let's have a barbecue here for dinner!"
The maids felt sorry for her, so she would naturally feel sorry for them as well and treat them to a good meal.
Qingqing pouted. Although she was happy in her heart, she didn't understand how her master could be so open-minded.
I don’t know whether I should be happy or not.
Qin Liuse did what she said. After returning to Shu Yuexuan, she ordered the maid and eunuch to prepare things and move to Nuanchun Pavilion.
Nuanchun Pavilion is not high, it has only one floor, with windows on three sides and a door on one side, from which you can enjoy the bamboo and pond views.
But in spring, what you appreciate is the bleakness and the whiteness of the snow.
Nuanchun Pavilion is not located in the prosperous area of the imperial city, but is relatively remote. Not many people come here on weekdays, which makes it suitable for the master and servant to lie.
The maid cleaned up the room first, and then moved the other barbecue utensils over.
The barbecue stove is set up outside the attic, with barbecue sauces, meat slices and vegetables placed next to it.
There were several layers of carpets in the pavilion, and there were low tables on the floor where people sat. There were several red stoves burning all around, and it was warm and cozy. It was truly a warm spring pavilion.
As it got dark, everything was ready and we started to barbecue.
In the pavilion, Zijin was making tea and preparing liquor.
The master Qin Liuse was directing Qingqing to grill meat outside the pavilion.
Originally, she really wanted to bake for them, but Qingqing said so, but when it came to making it, she still felt she couldn't bear it.
So Qin Liuse stood there and directed her when to put the meat in, when to apply the sauce, and when to turn over.
It was snowing outside, and we were eating meat and drinking tea and wine inside. We were so happy.
Qin Liuse took a skewer of barbecue and put it in his mouth. It was fresh and smooth. He couldn't help but praise, "Qingqing's cooking skills are good."
Qingqing was a little embarrassed, "No, no, Zhaoyi taught me well."
"Oh, our Qingqing would feel embarrassed." Aunt Mingyue joked.
Qingqing even blushed a little.
Because of Qingqing's funny look, everyone in the pavilion laughed so hard that they held their stomachs.
Because the atmosphere inside was so lively, no one noticed that there were people outside.
Qin Liuse felt a little stuffy inside for some reason, so she wanted to go out for some fresh air and have someone else come in to eat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Emperor Yongjia standing at the steps at the door, looking at him.
Qin Liuse didn't know what he was thinking, and his movements were half a beat slow. For a moment, he thought he had seen it wrong.
After reacting, he hurried down to pay his respects.
Because the shock in my heart overshadowed everything else, there was no longer the awkwardness that I had felt during the day.
Xiao Baoer, who was grilling meat nearby, wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that his Zhaoyi had finally come out.
When the emperor came just now, he was also surprised and naturally bowed immediately.
It was the Emperor who raised his hand, signaling him not to move.
He didn't know what the emperor meant, so he could only continue to grill the meat.
But the emperor was standing here, watching the meat roast. It was very cold outside, but he was sweating.
Qin Zhaoyi came out and finally saved him.
Qin Liuse naturally would not blame his servants for not informing him. It goes without saying that if it was not the Emperor Yongjia's intention, he would not dare not inform him.
Qin Liuse saluted and asked without thinking, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Emperor Yongjia glanced at her face lightly. There were lanterns outside the pavilion, but the light was not bright enough. However, he could still see the blush on her cheeks.
I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or because I’m a little tipsy.
Emperor Yongjia did not answer but asked, "You know how to enjoy such a cold day."
For a moment, Qin Liuse really didn't know what he meant.
Is this praise, envy, or sarcasm?
"It's a bit cold today. I thought this place is remote and won't disturb anyone, so I decided to go here with them to have a barbecue."
Qin Liuse was probably emboldened by the alcohol. He had nothing to say during the day, but now he had a lot to say. He asked again, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
At this hour, in a little while, it will be almost time to go to bed.
"I should leave now." Emperor Yongjia said calmly, "It's getting late."
Qin Liuse was stunned when she saw his back. She turned to look at the oven next to her and wondered if he came here because of the smell.
However, as the emperor, he certainly cannot describe himself as a dog.
But at this moment, Qin Liuse suddenly seemed to understand.
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, but I just felt that I always used interests to weigh the relationship between myself and Emperor Yongjia.
But they seem to have forgotten some ways of getting along between men and women.
But it is true that she doesn't quite understand these things.
Qin Liuse felt that he was really wasting his time. There was obviously a better way, wasn't there?
Instead of wasting time, it is better to leave some soft feelings in his heart. No matter whether he loves her or not in the future, he will never treat her unfairly when he thinks about it.
Thinking of this, perhaps because he really had drunk some wine, Qin Liuse took action.
She walked quickly forward, went over, and hugged Emperor Yongjia from behind.
Emperor Yongjia only felt a scent coming from behind him, and then heard her softly say, "Your Majesty, please stay and accompany me. Tomorrow is my birthday."
