Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 432: Problematic Tea

Yihua Hall.

Seeing Concubine Liang's expression, Huang Ye further confirmed his guess.

She glanced at Eunuch Yu who was waiting behind the emperor.

Eunuch Yu nodded imperceptibly.

Huang Ye regretfully put the plum vase in his hand back to its original place.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like, so I will not ask you for this plum vase."

However, Huang Ye quickly changed the subject.

"Sister Liang, let's go take a look at the winter jasmine flowers you have here. I came here today just for the flowers..."

Princess Liang watched Huang Ye put the plum vase back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now she had to admire the playfulness of Concubine Ye.

No one knows how she caught the emperor's eye with her restless temper.

Is it because she is pretty?

Princess Liang did not deny it.

The appearance of Concubine Ye is first-class, not only in the harem, but also outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, please come with me to see the small garden in Yihua Palace."

Concubine Liang also stood up and invited the emperor who was sitting on the chair.

But she was still a little confused. She had just observed carefully and found that the emperor didn't drink a sip of tea.

This definitely couldn't be that the emperor had noticed something.

Maybe the emperor had already drunk tea in the Yangxin Palace, so he was not thirsty now.

After finding enough excuses for herself in her mind, Concubine Liang brought the emperor and Huang Ye to the small garden of Yihua Palace.

The winter jasmine flowers in Yihua Hall are not famous for nothing.

The blooming forsythia flowers are announcing the arrival of early spring.

"Sister, the winter jasmine here is really as famous as it is said to be."

Huang Ye admired it sincerely.

Princess Liang was a little proud.

This winter jasmine is that person’s favorite…

These people only know that the forsythia in Yihua Hall is famous.

How could they know that these forsythia flowers embody her longing for that man.

So the three people, each with their own thoughts, strolled happily in this small garden while talking.

They kept walking until Yin'er came over and invited them to go back for dinner.

The dining room of Yihua Palace.

The dining room of Yihua Hall, like the entire Yihua Hall, is exceptionally spacious and bright.

Although it was still daylight outside, candles were already lit in the dining room.

This makes the whole dining room look brighter.

"Your Majesty, please try these dishes and see if they suit your taste."

Concubine Liang took the initiative to serve food to the emperor.

Huang Ye curled his lips in his heart.

The dishes on the table are what the emperor usually eats. Whether they suit his taste or not still requires others to say.

However, judging from Concubine Liang's appearance, she might not have the chance to poison the food.

Besides, there is another girl at the table.

If she poisoned two people at once, she would not be able to get away with it.

Therefore, if she wanted to poison the emperor, she would do it when he had finished his meal and was drinking tea.

Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor must drink some tea to warm his stomach after dinner.

Thinking of this, Huang Ye looked up at Eunuch Yu again.

Eunuch Yu was also busy serving food to the emperor.

He noticed Huang Ye's gaze and nodded imperceptibly.

Huang Ye felt relieved.

She ignored Concubine Liang's attempts to courteously entertain the Emperor and just ate and drank to her heart's content.

Her heroic eating manner made Concubine Liang forget to serve the emperor food.

This Ye Jieyu is really rude.

Her behavior is really embarrassing for these noble ladies.

Princess Liang thought to herself.

"Your Majesty, please try this steamed pork ribs. This steamed pork ribs is my favorite..."

Huang Ye didn't care what Concubine Liang was thinking.

There is still a tough battle to fight next, how can we do it without eating enough?

The emperor cooperated and ate the steamed pork ribs that Eunuch Yu put into his bowl.

He thought the same as Huang Ye.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a lot to come.

Just like what the yellow leaves said, the sky is big, the earth is big, but eating is the most important thing.

Only when you are full can you better deal with what happens next.

The meal ended with Huang Ye talking loudly.

Princess Liang's ears almost hurt from listening to this.

Does this Concubine Ye have any awareness of being a noble lady?

Doesn’t she know the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping?

Yes, she was born in that kind of family, and her family spoiled her to the point of not knowing the limits of the world, which is understandable.

After the emperor put down his chopsticks, Concubine Liang asked Yin'er to call someone in to clean up.

And the three of them went to the guest room.

"Your Majesty, you just finished your meal. Have some tea to warm your stomach."

Concubine Liang personally poured a bowl of tea for the emperor and placed it on the tea table in front of the emperor.

"Thank you, Concubine Liang."

The emperor picked up the tea bowl calmly.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the bowl of tea.

And it only smells like tea, with no strange smell.

"I am thirsty too, Your Majesty, please give me your bowl of tea."

Huang Ye made a request to the emperor with a smile.

"No..."

Princess Liang blurted out.

After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had overreacted.

"That's the tea my sister made specially for the emperor."

Concubine Liang explained to Huang Ye.

"It's all my elder sister's fault for neglecting it. Now I'll make tea for my younger sister."

Concubine Liang was like an older sister coaxing a little sister who was having a bad temper.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Concubine Liang personally made tea for Huang Ye, Eunuch Yu nodded to the emperor.

"Princess Liang, why do I smell something strange in your tea?"

The emperor picked up the tea bowl in front of him again.

Just as he was about to take a sip, he put the teacup down again.

Concubine Liang's heart was in her throat.

"Your Majesty, the tea I have here is first-rate tea. Your Majesty, please try it."

Although she was questioned by the emperor, Concubine Liang still advised the emperor to try it.

As long as the emperor took a sip, she would be considered successful.

The emperor picked up the tea bowl again.

Concubine Liang looked at the emperor eagerly.

Unfortunately, the emperor just sniffed it and put the tea bowl down again.

"This smell is really strange, Xiao Yuzi, come over here and smell it."

Eunuch Yu cooperated by picking up the bowl of tea and putting it under his nose to smell it.

"This taste is wrong, Concubine Liang, could it be that you put something in this tea?"

Eunuch Yu suddenly turned hostile and scolded Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang's heart was pounding wildly.

No, that person would not lie to her.

He said that the poison was colorless and odorless, and even the imperial physician could not detect it.

This eunuch Yu must be deceiving her.

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that this bowl of tea is absolutely fine. What do you mean, Eunuch Yu..."

Concubine Liang questioned Eunuch Yu.

"Whether there is a problem or not, we can ask the imperial physician to come and take a look and we will know."

Eunuch Yu said in a sarcastic tone.

When Concubine Liang heard Eunuch Yu say to call the imperial physician, she was obviously relieved.

"Your Majesty, if the imperial physician came and checked this bowl of tea and found nothing wrong with it, Eunuch Yu would frame me like this..."

The way she acted, it was clear that she wanted the Emperor to punish Eunuch Yu.

Punish Eunuch Yu, this servant who does not know the difference between respect and inferiority.
