Faced with Xu Zhaopei's provocation, Xiao Yi counterattacked gently: "Since you said this tea is not good, then just cook a new pot."

He said to Xiaozhuang again: "The tea is ready later, and then pour tea for grandfather."

Xiao Zhuang responded and looked at his grandmother again. Seeing that his grandmother nodded, he handed the teapot to the servant and sat back to his grandmother.

The singing and dancing continued, and the laughter started again, as if the little confrontation just now had never happened.

On the other side of the stairs, Xiao Yi's confidant servant supervised the servant to cook tea again. The four of them stared at the two servants preparing tea. The one who cooked tea was to prevent someone from poisoning.

The royal palace has strict supervision of the kitchen, and the ones that are prevented are poisoning, because the king has specially instructed that we must beware of "poisonous women" who poison and poison others.

Who is the "poisonous woman"? It goes without saying.

Therefore, not only does the back kitchen have a supervision kitchen, but the management of ingredients and seasonings is very strict, and even when cooking tea, there is strict supervision.

Tea leaves and seasonings used when cooking tea (the mainstream preparation method for tea in this era was to cook, usually some seasonings were added, just like cooking dishes), and various tea sets were also kept by dedicated people.

No matter what kind of food or food, someone will try the poison before the noble person tastes it.

Just now, the tea and tea sets prepared by the princess, as well as the tea and tea sets for other ladies and husbands, have been tried on poison.

Now that I have to cook again, I have to try the poison for a while before I can take it over.

The servants were cooking tea aside, and on the mat, Xu Zhaopei watched the singing and dancing absent-mindedly.

Last night, she dreamed of Xiao Fang and others, dreaming of her son saying goodbye to her.

Xiao Fang and others said that he was about to be reincarnated as a human being, born in a wealthy family, and from then on he had no worries about food and clothing, and had peace and safety for the rest of his life.

I came to say goodbye to my mother, telling her not to worry about her anymore, and ask her mother to take good care of Xiaozhuang.

Xu Zhaopei ran forward crying, trying to hold his son's hand, wanting to ask which wealthy family his son was born in.

She was going to take a look, just take a look.

But the son gradually faded away and she could not catch up. Seeing his son wave goodbye to her with a smile, and then gradually disappeared, Xu Zhaopei woke up from his dream crying.

Then, looking at the pillow, my son's relics - a jade pendant. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and burst into tears.

After experiencing hardships, Xu Zhaopei repented and regretted that he ignored his son in order to revenge on Xiao Yi.

Since the day she married one-eyed Xiao Yi, she has hated this marriage and also hated Xiao Yi for finding another woman, so the couple is like enemies.

For decades, she has been constantly humiliating Xiao Yi in various ways, and even deliberately having an affair with others, just to make Xiao Yi furious, but she can do nothing.

But if they do this, their son Xiao Fang and others will be hurt.

Xiao Fang and others were caught between their parents, in a dilemma, were vented by their father, scolded for everything they did, and were implicated by their mother's behavior, becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

It was not until Xiao Fang and others were killed that Xu Zhaopei suffered some hardships that he realized that he was sorry for his son. His son suffered too much pain for what he did.

Xu Zhaopei wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yi, but he hurt his son, his only son.

But regret is useless. Xiao Fang died at a young age.

It is impossible for Xu Zhaopei to say sorry to his son again.

However, although Xiao Fang and others were dead, they still had their son Xiao Zhuang.

Therefore, Xu Zhaopei, who regretted it, decided to use the rest of his life to make up for his debts to his son and treat his grandson Xiaozhuang well.

As long as Xiao Yi did not divorce his wife, she was still the Princess of Xiangdong, and Xiaozhuang was the unquestionable grandson of Xiangdong King and the only grandson of the only one.

Therefore, Xiao Zhuang should inherit the throne of Xiangdong in the future.

However, Xiao Yi was determined to maintain the position of prince of his concubine Xiao Fangzhu. Even according to the patriarchal law, Xiao Zhuang should be the "generation grandson".

Xu Zhaopei refused to admit defeat and must maintain her grandson's status. She decided to continue to waste Xiao Yi first, then confess her feelings to the empress dowager and the emperor, and restore Xiaozhuang's original status.

However, the situation has changed and I am afraid it will not be enough to waste it.

First of all, her family and brothers have passed away one after another. Her younger brother Xu Junqian is sick and can't afford to get sick at any time. Therefore, the support from her parents' home is almost gone.

Secondly, as the auxiliary vassal king, Xiao Yi held great power. After careful arrangements and casting a big net, Xu Zhaopei silently saw it.

When the Internet is closed, no one in and outside the court can compete with Xiao Yi, so...

Then, this one-eyed person who seized the throne and became the emperor and the crown prince must be Xiao Fangzhu, who lived with the king's slut, and she was not just as simple as ending up divorced.

If one-eyed emperor is the emperor, not only will he not make her the queen, but he will also turn against her. It is considered polite to give her to commit suicide.

She ended up like this and it was her own fault, but what should Xiaozhuang do if she died?

The Crown Prince Xiao Fangzhu and the Wang brothers and sisters at that time would not let go of this disaster.

Xiaozhuang is the only bloodline of Xiao Fang and others in the world, and Xu Zhaopei cannot let his son die.

She has already felt sorry for her son, and she cannot be sorry for her grandson.

what to do?

Xu Zhaopei thought of the most extreme method, because only by doing that can he turn defeat into victory.

But it cannot be implemented because Xiao Yi's defense was very strict. Xu Zhaopei knew that Xiao Yi's eyeliner must be among the maids around him.

Even if you succeed after implementation, you cannot guarantee that you will be out of the matter.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Yi dies, she will be doomed.

But she could not die with Xiao Yi, otherwise who would support the helpless Xiao Zhuang, and who would ask the empress dowager to uphold justice, so that Xiao Zhuang became the grandson of Xiangdong and inherit the throne?

If the empress dowager had the attitude to say something like "brothers and brothers", she would dare to break up and ask: Why is the prince's grandson sitting on the imperial throne?

Therefore, even if she is willing to implement the extreme method, she cannot do it.

But, "he" said yes.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaopei felt a little guilty and subconsciously wanted to glance at Xiao Yi, but he still held it back.

Xiao Yi was always on guard against her, and the left and right must be staring at her every move, so any unnecessary small movements will arouse Xiao Yi and his left and right suspicion.

The newly cooked tea was served in the teapot and served.

As explained before, the servant stood beside him with a teapot and Xiaozhuang came to pour tea for his grandfather.

Xiaozhuang is twelve years old this year and is quite smart. He has just said something wrong with his grandfather and grandmother just now.

But after all, I am young and have no experience, so I don’t know why this is the case, so I thought of a solution.

He poured a cup of tea, but did not offer it to his grandfather, but slowly drank it himself: "Grandson will try it to see if it is palatable."

It is called "testing hot and cold", but it is actually trying "whether there is a problem" so that grandfather and grandmother will not quarrel again.

Of course, someone had tried poison before the tea was served.

Xiao Yi was quite surprised to see this and found that his grandson was very clever.

Then he glanced at Xu Zhaopei and found that Xu Zhaopei looked as usual. Xiao Yi felt relieved: No matter how vicious Xu Zhaopei was, he would not attack Xiao Zhuang.

Xiaozhuang tried the tea and deliberately delayed it for some time to prove that the tea was fine.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaopei also said whether the tea tasted good, so he asked Xiaozhuang to pour another cup and drink it.

Both grandparents and grandchildren drank, and there was nothing unusual, so Xiao Yi had no reason to worry about anything anymore.

It is not impossible for Xu Zhaopei to die with him, but it is impossible for Xu Zhaopei to kill Xiao Zhuang.

After taking the tea that my grandson poured, Xiao Yi sipped it carefully for a few sips. He felt that the taste was really good, as if his mind was much clearer.

He likes reading, but he has one eye and cannot withstand the use of day and night, so he lets him read it to him.

Even so, listening to books at night is easy to get tired, and sometimes when you are in a mood, you have to stay up late to compose piano music, so you need to drink tea to refresh yourself.

Xiao Yi likes to add various seasonings when cooking tea, just like cooking wine soup, and is also very picky about tea leaves. It not only ensures the taste but also has excellent refreshing effects.

After Xiao Yi finished drinking the tea, the servant brought the steamed persimmon cakes and placed them in front of the nobles' desks.

Before the persimmon cake was served, I had tried the poison and could taste it. Xiao Yi picked up a piece and divided it with a small part to Xiaozhuang to show his closeness.

Xu Zhaopei also picked up the persimmon cake and tasted it slowly.

Xiao Yi was eating the persimmon cake and was quite expecting: I insisted on eating it, and I thought the disease would be cured.

He had a hard time saying that he was suffering from "hemorrhoids", which was quite troubled by this.

Later, I found a good recipe and relieved it. I also learned that eating persimmon cakes on weekdays can harmonize the stomach and intestines and relieve symptoms.

After persisting for several years, the effect was still good, and at least the attacks did not occur so frequently.

Therefore, the royal palace has a large number of good persimmon cakes that are properly stored for Xiao Yi to eat on a daily basis.

However, you should not eat too much persimmon cake, as eating too much will lead to abdominal distension.

And you cannot eat it with fish or crabs, otherwise it will be prone to abdominal pain.

Xiao Yi believed in the taboos of eating persimmon cakes, because Zhang Zhan wrote in the Jin Dynasty, "The Collection of Health Preservation": Persimmons and crabs (eat together), and have severe abdominal pain and diarrhea.

It is said that this is the principle of mutual generation and restraint between different foods. Xiao Yi pays great attention to this dietary taboo and will never mix persimmon cakes, fish, crabs and other aquatic products or seafood.

So I have not experienced abdominal distension in the past few years after eating persimmon cakes, let alone my stomach hurts after eating persimmon cakes.

When I travel today, since I use persimmon cakes as snacks, there will never be fish soup or fish soup during the meal.

After eating the persimmon cake, Xiao Yi saw that his family gathered and the atmosphere was harmonious, and Xu Zhaopei did not make trouble, so he couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
