"Daughter! It's so late and you're still here…Uh, what happened to Yiai? Why are you here?"
When Fang Xuanling returned from court,
He had just walked to his daughter's study, intending to discuss with her about what His Majesty had said tonight.
She happened to see her son standing in front of her daughter's door with a pile of tiles on his head.
"Father, don't worry about him."
Just as Fang Xuanling was about to ask what was going on, Fang Yi Zhu's cold voice rang out from the study.
"Uh, alright then!"
Fang Xuanling gave Fang Yiai a helpless expression and walked straight into the study.
"Huan 'er, go make a cup of tea for Father.”
"Yes, Miss."
...
When Fang Xuanling entered the study, he immediately saw the stack of papers in front of his daughter.
"Father, His Majesty called you to the palace late at night. Is there something important? Did the reform of the imperial examination make new progress?”
Ever since Li Shimin pointed out the many drawbacks of the imperial examination.
Almost every day, there would be a huge ruckus in the imperial court.
Almost everyone was fighting for their own interests.
For this matter, Li Shiming would occasionally call his trusted subordinates into the palace to discuss strategies.
Today, Fang Xuanling and the others had reached their final decision in the Imperial Palace.
"Regarding the imperial examinations, His Majesty appeared exceptionally unyielding this time. Something might happen tomorrow! Those people who did not know what was good for them might have their heads broken this time.”
Fang Xuanling felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of what Li Shiming had said earlier.
'If there is a mistake in what I want to do, you should advise me! If there is no mistake, also warn him, is it because I have no need to shout?'
Those influential families had opposed Li Shiming's reform one after another.
Now, the anger in Li Shiming's heart was gradually rising.
This was an emperor who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
How could he twirl the tiger's beard when his blood had not been wiped away?
"There's nothing we can do here! After all, this reform had touched the interests of too many people!”
Fang Yi Zhu looked at her father's solemn expression and could already guess the Emperor's decision.
If the discussion didn't work, he would resort to violence.
"Miss, Master, the tea is here!"
While Fang Xuanling and his daughter were discussing, the maid Huan 'er came up with a teapot and two teacups.
When the tea slowly flowed out of the teapot, a fragrance of tea slowly drifted out along with the heat.
Fang Xuanling looked at the porcelain teacup in front of him in disbelief.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Daughter, when did you receive His Majesty's reward? Why do I know nothing about it?"
Fang Yizhu, who was about to tell Fang Xuanling about the tea, was stunned when she heard her father's words.
What reward from His Majesty?
I only met His Majesty once last year at the Empress 'birthday celebration!
Where did the reward come from?
"Father, what are you talking about? It had been a long time since his daughter had seen His Majesty! How could he receive His Majesty's reward!”
Fang Yi Zhu said as she looked at the teacup in front of her.
Could it be that his father was talking about this tea?
"Is that so? That's really strange!"
Fang Xuanling picked up the teacup in front of him and tasted the tea.
The familiar tea fragrance and sweet taste made him squint his eyes in enjoyment.
The taste was exactly the same!
"Daughter, where did you get these tea leaves? When I was discussing matters in the palace today, His Majesty took out this tea leaf for everyone to use. At that time, Cheng Yaojin drank a pot of tea leaves in one gulp and even chewed the tea leaves. When he saw His Majesty, he cursed loudly! Thinking about it, this tea leaf was also a precious thing to His Majesty! How did you get it?"
"What is it? There's actually such a thing!"
Fang Yi Zhu's expression changed slightly when she heard her father's words.
This... Wasn't this tea specially made by the shopkeeper of a small shop?
If it wasn't for the fact that she found the name of the restaurant interesting and went in for a meal, she would have gotten a cup of tea by chance.
Even she had never heard of such tea leaves in the world.
Why would His Majesty have one?
And he seemed to cherish it!
Did she miss something?
Wait a minute...
When Fang Yi Zhu thought of this, she frowned slightly.
Her thoughts seemed to have returned to the moment when she argued with Lin Feng in the afternoon.
Everything that happened at that time replayed in her mind.
Finally, the scene stopped at the moment before she left the house.
In the crowd, two familiar faces slowly appeared in her mind.
Then, as she left in the carriage, she vaguely saw the Zhangsun Clan's carriage parked not far away from the store.
Could all of this be a coincidence?
"Fang Yi 'ai, come in!"
The more Fang Yi Zhu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
She shouted at Fang Yi 'ai who was still in a horse stance outside the door.
The kid immediately threw away the tile in his hand and ran in.
"Sis, have you thought it through? Hehe, I knew it. Sister, you're so smart, you must…"
"If you say another word, go to the door and kneel!”
“...”
