Chapter 188

The queen quietly watched the big hand calmly cook tea. She smelled the tea fragrance that began to overflow. The hot steam seemed to dispel the cold around her, but it also made her eyes a little astringent.

The tea soup was poured into the exquisite tea bowl.

Xu Yun picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently.

Xu Mingyi looked at him.

The second uncle is really interesting today. He only poured his own tea——

If Grandpa was there, he would have to slap him on the head.

Ah Kui timely lifted the teapot and poured two bowls.

"Try it, madam." Xu Mingyi took up a tea bowl and handed it to the queen.

The queen took it with a smile and was not in a hurry to drink.

Xu Yun glanced without trace and smiled coldly at the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, it was the same as before. I had told her many times that drinking tea in winter was a hot word. Only when it was blown and drunk could it taste, but she had to let the tea soup cool completely before it could be imported.

Obviously, they have become another person. Why not change these habits thoroughly?

"You go play, ah Kui didn't like to throw snowballs before?" Xu Mingyi said to the two girls holding a tea bowl.

Ah Kui took a look at ah Zhu around him.

"I like to throw snowballs, but I'd better forget it if I play with ah Zhu..."

Others hit a snowball, that is to hit a snowball, but ah Zhu is different.

——As long as the soft snow is grasped by ah Zhu's hand, it is no longer a snowball, but a solid iron ball.

It takes not only snow, but also life.

After all, if you are a little careless, it is possible to break your head and bleed blood.

Ah Zhu glanced contemptuously at her friend.

Isn't playing snowball fun and exciting? What's the meaning of it——

However, she really can't bully people who don't know martial arts, so she always plays with her father.

"The first snow this year is so big that it must be a cold winter."

The queen looked at the white silver outside the pavilion and said with a smile.

"Yes." Xu Mingyi nodded, but his mind suddenly drifted away.

This year's winter seems particularly cold, not only in the capital, but also in Ningyang.

Should it snow in Ningyang at this time?

The queen lowered her eyes and ate the cool tea.

The tea soup is fragrant, bitter but not astringent.

Somehow, she seemed to choke her eyes and burst into tears.

The queen was suddenly in a panic.

It's strange that she has not been tired of these emotions for more than ten years. She thinks that she can't be more secure in controlling her emotions. At present, the more she lives, the more she goes back?

Put the tea bowl down, she hung her eyes, tried to take a natural and calm tone, smiled and said, "I'll go and see the snow in the mountains, too."

While talking, he stood up and left the pavilion with mother Jiang.

Xu Yun glanced at the motionless tea soup in her bowl and straightened his lips slightly.

Sure enough, after staying in the palace for a long time, I was destined to be unaccustomed to his crude tea.

After drinking all the tea soup in his bowl, Xu Yun poured another bowl full and drank it with his head up.

Then put the tea bowl in the tea tray with a bang.

A moment later, he got up and said, "Zhaozhao, the second uncle went back first."

——Just started drinking. Are you going back now?

Xu Mingyi was puzzled, but he just nodded "good".

Take a look at the back of his second uncle striding away, and then take a look at the empty tea bowl. Xu Mingyi's confusion is getting deeper and deeper.

If the empress and her second uncle are old acquaintances, it's not surprising - the two elders fought together at the beginning, and it's normal for the younger generation to have an intersection.

But she looked at her second uncle's abnormal attitude today... How did it seem like a holiday?

And although the second uncle is casual, he is not a person who doesn't know how to do superficial Kung Fu. At present, he doesn't even drink tea - is this festival... Very serious?

"Empress..."

Not far away, under a plum tree, mother Jiang whispered, "master Xu is gone."

The queen put away her veil and turned her head.

The tall dark blue man's figure gradually disappeared outside Meilin.

Mother Jiang sighed almost imperceptibly.

If she knew that the second master of the Xu family was there, she wouldn't encourage her mother to come here.

If you can't relax, you'll have to worry again

The queen didn't say anything. She took a breath slowly, spit it out slowly, and then folded back into the pavilion.

As soon as I sat down, I saw two chestnut candies wrapped in oil paper in the tea tray on the stone table.

She was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously, "where did the chestnut candy come from?"

Xu Mingyi looked at it and replied casually, "it should be left by my second uncle - he likes to drink strong tea and occasionally goes with a chestnut candy."

For this behavior, although she would like to say "if you feel that strong tea is bitter, just drink green tea", everyone has their own habits, and others like to put salt when drinking tea.

"If you think the tea is bitter, would you like to eat a piece of sugar?"

The queen took the chestnut candy from Xu Mingyi, and her mind suddenly drifted away.

It was also a winter and snowy day

She was only seven or eight years old. Once she secretly followed her eldest brother to see her father in the military camp, so she was scolded by her father.

She hid behind the military tent and cried.

A little boy came to her. She didn't want to lose face in front of others, so she quickly wiped her tears.

He came over without saying anything comforting. He stretched out his fist in front of her and said, "guess how many sweets I have in my hand? If you guess right, I'll give them to you."

She was annoyed by what she heard.

She's crying to death. Who would want to guess how many sweets he has in his hand?

But as a lady of an aristocratic family, she couldn't say anything that was out of style, so she opened her mouth and said, "ten."

No one can put ten sweets in his hand. Of course, this means urging the other party to go away.

Unexpectedly, the other party said, "you guessed right."

He spread his palm out in front of her.

It's clear that there are only two.

She looked up at him puzzled.

The boy, who was already a little elegant at a young age, said to her seriously——

"You guessed right. I'll give you two first. I owe the remaining eight. I'll give it to you later."

What kind of gamble is this?

If he opened a gambling shop, wouldn't he want to lose all Xu Jiajun?

But she was amused.

She still remembers what the chestnut candy tastes like in her mouth... It seems that she has never eaten anything so sweet since then.

The queen slowly clenched the oil paper candy in her hand.

Whispered: "it's getting late. It's time for the palace to go back."

Xu Mingyi told the boys to pack up the tea set and put out the charcoal fire.

After leaving the Hanming temple, the carriage drove back smoothly in the direction of Princess Chang's house.

Mother Jiang helped the queen out of the carriage.

Xu Mingyi followed closely.

"Send this peace talisman to the palace." the queen handed it to mother Jiang and told her, "remember to put it under the Jingrong pillow."

Mother Jiang answered.

Not long ago, I turned back, but it was a strange description.

"Empress, princess, your Highness has an accident..."
