Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 338 Green Tea

Qingyue Palace.

Concubine Lin looked at the tea that the palace maid placed in front of her and didn't say anything for a long time.

It was Shi Yaoyao who broke the silence.

"My sister came here this time because she was asked by the Queen Mother to discuss cooperation with me."

"Oh…"

Concubine Lin moved her eyes away from the tea bowl in front of her in surprise and looked at Shi Yaoyao.

"It's like this, the Queen Mother knows what happened here last night."

Shi Yaoyao decided not to beat around the bush with Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin was very smart, and trying to be clever in front of her would only backfire.

Concubine Lin's face turned red all of a sudden. She didn't know that this matter had already spread.

very good…

She knew that Concubine Du would not let her off easily.

"What does the Queen Mother want you to come over for?"

She asked with difficulty.

There's nothing I can do. I was the one who caused this incident, although I don't know how much the Queen Mother knows.

but…

The Queen Mother has this handle in her hand.

"Sister, don't doubt the Queen Mother's sincerity. The Queen Mother can help you achieve your wish."

"She has only one request, which is for you to help her kill that Concubine Ye, and it has to be a miserable death."

Shi Yaoyao knew what Concubine Lin was thinking, so she explained the purpose of her visit more clearly.

At this time, Concubine Lin fully understood the Queen Mother's intention. Wasn't it because of Concubine Ye's incident that the Queen Mother placed her under house arrest?

I didn't expect that the Queen Mother hated Concubine Ye so much.

It just so happened that the rise of Concubine Ye made her wary, and it would be best to kill her before she was fully grown.

"If I say I am willing to cooperate with the Queen Mother, will there be any benefits?"

Concubine Lin is not someone who can suffer losses.

Although her heart was in turmoil, she did not show it on her face, and she looked calm, as if this incident had no effect on her at all.

Shi Yaoyao suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Concubine Lin, which scared her.

"Sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Concubine Lin wanted to pull her up, but she was too weak. As soon as she moved, beads of sweat began to drip from her head.

"I know your situation in the palace. To be honest, you have nowhere else to go after you join the Empress Dowager..."

Shi Yaoyao told her situation half-truthfully.

She didn't care whether Concubine Lin believed it or not, as long as she was willing to listen.

Concubine Lin nodded. She believed that apart from the Queen Mother, no one would be willing to pay attention to this person.

"Sister also knows that the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu..."

She pointed to her head.

"Their personalities... are destined to prevent them from taking that position."

Concubine Lin also believed that even though Concubine Xu was very powerful, she had never regarded her as an opponent.

"Sister, you are different. You are smart and intelligent. Looking at the harem, I think that position belongs to you."

Shi Yaoyao has learned a lot from currying favor with the empress dowager recently, and she knows what words Concubine Lin likes to hear.

Why doesn't she say it now in a way that pleases the other party? Maybe her plan will succeed?

It was a lie when Concubine Lin said she was unhappy. No one doesn't want to hear nice things. This talented lady Shi is very good at changing her attitude according to the situation.

Look, she even abandoned the Queen Mother and came to join her. What does this mean?

This means that everyone in the harem knows that she is closest to that position.

She felt the gloom from last night lifted.

Concubine Lin was in high spirits and no longer weak. She walked up to Shi Yaoyao and helped her up with her own hands.

"I appreciate your kindness, don't worry, as long as you help me get to that position, I will not treat you unfairly."

Concubine Lin promised.

"I don't have any other ideas. I'm just afraid that Concubine Ye will become too powerful. I know the grudge between me and her. If she takes that position, it will be my death."

Shi Yaoyao kept a very low profile.

She knew that only if she humbled herself would Concubine Lin be able to accept her as her own.

"Don't worry, even if it's for the Queen Mother, that Concubine Ye must die."

Concubine Lin's thoughts now are completely different from before. She used to think that Concubine Ye was a simple-minded person and posed no threat to her.

Now?

Now she has become a serious concern for her.

"Then I will have to rely on my elder sister's support from now on."

Shi Yaoyao smiled shyly and decided to add another set of chips.

"If I have a child in the future... with your help, I am willing to give him to you to repay you for your support."

Everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Lin had been poisoned and had no offspring.

She is now speaking from the bottom of her heart, which makes her sincerity more apparent.

It has to be said that Shi Yaoyao's words touched Lin Jieyu's heart.

She couldn't get the eldest princess because the eldest prince was too weak. She was afraid that if she snatched him away, he would be gone before she could even warm up to him.

If later...

She helped Shi Yaoyao gain favor, and when she had a child...

The more Lin Jieyu thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, so the look in her eyes when she looked at Shi Yaoyao became softer.

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye had no idea that both the Cining Palace and the Qingyue Palace were plotting to kill her, and she was very busy now.

It turned out that this morning when she and Hongdou were practicing martial arts in the grove, they found something useful.

Since they were not as busy as before when they had to come back to pay their respects to the Queen, they practiced a little longer today.

By the time they were ready to come out, it was already daybreak.

Huang Ye was in a good mood. She took Hong Dou and walked around in the grove, breathing in the fresh air.

Suddenly, she stopped, and a small patch of low bushes in front of her immediately attracted her attention.

This is clearly a tea tree...

Why didn’t she notice it before?

"Red beans, tea tree... This is tea tree... With this, we can have green tea to drink."

Huang Ye was so excited that she was incoherent. She thanked the heavens, the earth, and all the gods and Buddhas. Finally, she didn't have to drink that disgusting tea anymore.

The two men ran back, changed their clothes, then called Xiao Xiangzi, Xiao Chengzi and the other two young eunuchs, and followed them to the grove to pick tea.

Because it is already late autumn and no one is taking care of the tea trees, not much tea leaves can be picked.

But this does not affect Huang Ye's good mood.

With autumn tea already here, is spring tea far behind?

Huang Ye is now experimenting with roasting tea leaves with Lu Dou and the others.

In her previous life, Huang Ye had roasted tea leaves by herself. When she was in middle school, her teacher took them to the countryside to experience life. In a tea farm, the master craftsman taught them personally.

Stir-frying, kneading, Huang Ye meticulously followed the steps taught by the master chef.

Huang Ye was thinking a little further ahead. If she succeeded today, she would ask Xiao Zhao to buy a tea plantation, specialize in making green tea, and sell it at her Tianxia Diyilou.

As long as the name is known, if you open a teahouse, it will definitely be the first in Beijing.
