Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen waved his hand and asked all maids to start making tea. These people have all been trained in the palace.

Making tea is like dancing, elegant and graceful, with a beauty that men cannot match.

It contains the elegance and nobility that civil officials and scholars like, as well as the beauty and grace that military generals like.

It's a pleasure to watch.

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly to this. When it came to these nonsense things, his tenth son was the best at it.

They both spent money and lived extravagantly, but his son lived a particularly luxurious life.

No wonder he is so good at business and so many wealthy people are willing to pay for him.

"Aye."

Li Shen came and sat down next to Li Shimin.

"Yeah, well done."

Li Shimin rarely praised him.

"It's all thanks to Aye's good teaching." Li Shen said modestly.

After a while, the tea was ready, and Li Shimin picked up the tea:

"Come, everyone, taste King Ji's new tea."

After saying that, he smelled it. The fragrance of tea was everywhere. He took a sip, savored it carefully, and his eyes lit up.

"Good tea."

Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaimed, "It tastes great!" The dish had a unique taste and was sweet in the mouth.

"Good tea, mellow and sweet, refreshing at first taste, with a distinct rhythm."

The first one to react was Cheng Yaojin. Li Shen secretly pouted in his heart, you are a flatterer who knows nothing about tea.

"Bah, flattery, you know nothing about tasting shit, you just drank it like water."

As if he had heard Li Shen's thoughts, Yuchi Jingde, who was sitting next to Cheng Yaojin, made a "Pah" sound and mercilessly exposed Cheng Yaojin's ugly face.

Li Shen cheered secretly.

"Humph, you are jealous that I am better at tasting tea than you are. I think you are the one who drinks like a cow, wasting such a good thing. I, Old Cheng, am ashamed to be associated with you."

Cheng Yaojin snorted and turned his face away, his face full of disgust.

These two guys always quarrel with each other, and everyone is used to it, so no one pays any attention to them.

Ma Zhou, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke first:

"It's really good. The taste is different from other teas. It's very unique. The aroma is strong, the taste is delicate, and the taste is elegant. It's worthy of being from Prince Ji's Mansion."

"Yes, the fragrance of flowers and the rich and fresh aroma are unforgettable."

“It has a mellow taste, and there is a comfortable feeling after entering the mouth, accompanied by aftertaste and sweetness, and the taste is extremely rich.”

Zhangsun Wuji and Yu Zhining also expressed their gratitude.

Next it's the turn of the people below to perform.

All kinds of flattery and praise can be summed up as to how good the tea is, worthy of being produced by the Ji Wang Mansion.

Prince Ji is filial and Your Majesty is blessed.

Li Shimin had never smiled before, he nodded frequently, he was so happy.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, where are they for sale? I want to buy some."

Duke Zhang Liang of Yun stood up and asked loudly.

"Duke Yun, I have just said that this tea is specially made for my father and mother. I hope that my father and mother can live longer after drinking this tea.

This tea is a tribute and is not sold to the public."

Li Shen stood up and replied.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Yeah, this tea is really good, there's nowhere else to buy it."

Voices of regret were immediately heard from below.

Zhang Liang did not sit down, and asked with some reluctance:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I know your filial piety very well. This kind of divine tea must be hard to find.

I dare not hope for this kind of fine tea, I would like to ask if there is any lower quality one.

This kind of tribute is naturally only for His Majesty and the Queen to enjoy, and we are not qualified to do so."

"Well... since you all want it, then I will naturally satisfy you. You are all meritorious officials who have followed His Majesty in battles across the country.

You have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty has always taught us to treat you well.

Never mind. After I go back, I will order a batch of tea to be produced and sold. The quality will definitely be lower.

After all, this kind of tribute tea is worth a fortune and is too expensive.

But don't worry, the raw materials are still from Fuzhou, and are only slightly inferior to this Gongcha.

This king will sell it at cost, and only to you.

This is also the reward from His Majesty to you all."

Li Shen finally nodded in agreement with a helpless look on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji."

Zhang Liang was the first to salute loudly, and the other officials also stood up to express their gratitude.

"This is what Prince Ji should do. Come, gentlemen, continue to taste tea."

Li Shimin raised his teacup happily.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, does this tea have a name?"

Ma Zhou stood up and asked.

"Well... yes, there is a truth. Please forgive me, Aye. This tea was made for my mother, and the tea leaves are as thick as iron, so I boldly named it Tieguanyin."

Li Shen stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin before saying his name.

Everyone present was stunned. Tieguanyin? Guanyin? The ministers all knew that the Queen's nickname was Guanyinbi.

Ever since I married Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the only person I can call in the world.

Even his eldest brother Changsun Wuji and his uncle Gao Shilian were not allowed to do so.

It is disrespectful to name King Ji. You should know that since ancient times, people have been taboo in naming, and they have avoided mentioning the king.

Just like Li Ji, whose original name was Li Shiji, but because he had the same character as Li Shimin, it was changed to Li Ji.

Li Shimin was also stunned. He did not expect that this rebellious son would dare to be so bold.

He looked at Li Shen who was saluting.

"Aye, I am just thinking of my mother. If the name is not acceptable, please forgive me.

Aye, please give me a new name."

Li Shen saluted again.

Li Shimin did not say anything, but picked up the tea leaves and weighed them.

"How about this name, my dear ministers?"

He looked at everyone. No one dared to speak. No one dared to speak about such a thing.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji stood up. He was the only one qualified to talk here.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the name given by His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

This tea was specially made by His Royal Highness Prince Ji for the Empress Dowager and was named after her. This is enough to show His Royal Highness Prince Ji's filial piety towards the Empress Dowager.

Since ancient times, filial piety has been the most important virtue. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty personally tasted medicine to serve his mother.

There is also Lao Laizi, the founder of Taoism in the pre-Qin period, who picked out delicious food to offer to his parents.

In order to make my parents happy, I raised a few beautiful and singing birds for them to play with.

Today, you specially made tea to show your filial piety. I admire your filial piety.

Using the Queen's name may become a good story that will be passed down through the ages."

Although Changsun Wuji and Li Shen did not get along, he still stood up and expressed his approval of this matter.

If for no other reason than for my sister.

To leave your name in history, you don't necessarily have to be written in the history books. From ancient times to the present, many history books have been lost or destroyed, and many facts have been modified due to wars.

Many biographies of celebrities are derived from fragments of folk or unofficial history.

He believed that once this matter was spread, it would surely spread widely among the people.

And the tea named after his sister will surely be passed down.

Thousands of years later, when people drink tea, they will also remember the origin of the tea's name.
