Lin Xuan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, try it and see if it suits your appetite."
Li Shimin picked up the teacup, and when the teacup was close to his mouth, the aroma of the tea became stronger.
The tea fragrance smells very elegant and has a refreshing feeling.
Li Shimin took a sip and tasted it carefully.
"This tea..." Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he didn't know how to describe it for a while.
Lin Xuan smiled, and said humbly: "I just changed it casually, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."
"Well, it's really average." Li Shimin said.
He just couldn't understand Lin Xuan's complacent look.
"Since His Majesty doesn't like it, I will take the tea back." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin quickly said: "I brought it all, why take it back. Although it is ordinary, but I am tired of drinking tea, this is not bad."
"Since Your Majesty said so, then stay." Lin Xuan said with a half-smile.
Xiao Mian, didn't you say normal?
I can't cure you yet.
Li Shimin glared at Lin Xuan, and said angrily: "If I remember correctly, you should be crowned soon, right?"
"Your Majesty has a lot of work to do every day, and I am really flattered to have time to pay attention to such trivial matters as the crowning of the minister." Lin Xuan said gratefully.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "I am not concerned about your coronation, but to tell you that after you are crowned, you need to go to court every day, so don't look at it."
"Your Majesty, are you joking with me?" Lin Xuan asked with a bitter face.
Just kidding, if he got up so early every day and came to court, wouldn't it kill him.
And how boring it is to go to court, maybe you will be impeached all the time, what's the point.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Who is joking with you? Noble Marquis, official rank above five ranks, must go to court every day. You have not been crowned before, and after you are crowned, you must follow the rules."
"Your Majesty, can the minister give up this title?" Lin Xuan asked.
He thought that the title of title does not need to go to court, how could he know that those above the marquis need to go to court every day.
If he had to go to court every day, he would rather not have a title.
"Do you think the title is what you want and what you don't want?" Li Shimin said with his eyes wide open.
Many people worked desperately for the title. Lin Xuan actually wanted to give up the title in order not to go to court. If those who wanted the title but couldn't get it knew, they probably wanted to strangle Lin Xuan to death.
"Your Majesty, it's okay if I don't go to court. Chen is still young, and I don't understand the court rules." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin said angrily: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you don't understand the rules, someone from the Ministry of Rites will teach you. If you are fine now, get out of here."
"Your Majesty, I brought some to the empress and wanted to send them to her." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin said: "For you boy, you still have some conscience. Li Mu, let Rang take him to the Lizheng Hall."
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan bowed, followed the eunuch who led the way, and left.
……
"I see the empress!"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Excuse me, sit down and talk."
"I got a kind of good tea, and I specially sent some to my empress." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"You are determined. If that is the case, I will accept it." Empress Changsun said.
Empress Changsun doesn't care if the tea is not tea.
But Lin Xuan had this intention, and she was very happy.
"Your Majesty, the way to drink this tea is different from before. I will show you to your Majesty." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Oh? Come here, bring a set of tea sets." Empress Changsun ordered.
"Yes!" Ruxue replied, and went to prepare the tea set.
When the tea set arrived, Lin Xuan made a pot of tea for Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty, try it." Lin Xuan said.
Empress Changsun said with a smile, "Although I haven't tasted it yet, I know it's good tea just by the fragrance of the tea."
After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun took a sip from the teacup.
"Sweet in the mouth, very good, much better than boiled tea." Empress Changsun praised.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "It's good that the lady likes it. I also know a kind of black tea that is more suitable for women. I got it later and brought it to the lady."
"If it's troublesome, it's fine if you have the heart." Empress Changsun said.
"No trouble." Lin Xuan said.
……
Lin Xuan was busy delivering tea all day, and he delivered all those who knew him well.
He didn't even forget Kong Yingda.
Every time he sent a family, Lin Xuan would teach them how to make tea.
Of course, what he sent to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were all tea leaves from Shifeng Mountain.
Others don't have this kind of treatment. They are all produced on the Shifeng Mountain, and some lesser ones are used.
……
The ninth day of April was Lin Xuan's coronation day.
Today is not Lin Xuan's birthday, his birthday has passed a few days ago.
The ancients still attached great importance to crowning, and they needed to choose an auspicious day, not on their birthday.
This morning, Lin Xuan was taken to the ancestral hall by Lin Dongyang before he had time to eat breakfast.
The ancestral hall of the Lin family is not the ancestral hall of the Lin family, but a small ancestral hall built by Lin Dongyang for worship during festivals.
Because when the crowning ceremony is in progress, the guests should be crowned three times in turn, that is, they should wear three hats in turn.First of all, a black cloth crown made of black linen is added, which means that you have the qualifications to participate in politics and can take on social responsibilities; then add a leather hat made of white deerskin, which is a military cap, which means that you have to serve in the military to protect the country; Finally, a plain crown with black and red is added, which is a popular top hat in ancient times, which means that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony from beginning to end.
Lin Xuan didn't want to make it too grand, so he only invited Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Qin Qiong to help him crown the crown when it was held.
In the tedious etiquette, Lin Xuan completed the crowning.
"Zi Chu, hurry up and change your clothes, and go to see His Majesty." Qin Qiong reminded.
Lin Xuan didn't realize it at first, he was stunned for a moment, then remembered calling himself, and said quickly: "I'm sorry to bother you uncles."
No need for a good name, the ancients didn't find it troublesome if they had to come up with a character.
"Haha, these are trivial things, just give me a little more of your top-quality Longjing tea." Cheng Yaojin said.
Cheng Yaojin also doesn't like the taste of brewed tea, but he likes the brewed tea very much.
"Don't worry, Uncle Cheng, there must be one." Lin Xuan laughed.
"Father, you entertain a few uncles first, and my son will go to the palace first." Lin Xuan said.
According to the rules, Lin Xuan is a marquis, and after the coronation is completed, he needs to enter the palace to meet Li Shimin.
……
"The minister has been crowned, and I am here to pay homage to His Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Since the crowning ceremony is completed, you can come to court tomorrow, and people from the Ministry of Rites will come to your house in the afternoon to teach you etiquette."
Lin Xuan said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, can you not go to court?"
"There is no need to discuss this matter. I still have things to do. You should go back first." Li Shimin said.
"Yes, the minister is leaving!"
Li Shimin couldn't do it here, so he had to think of other ways.
……
Lin Xuan returned home, entertained Cheng Yaojin and the three of them, and sent them out of the mansion after they were full of wine and food. His coronation ceremony was considered complete.
Lin Xuan returned to the living room, where Lin Dongyang was making tea.
"Xuan'er, come and sit down." Lin Dongyang called.
"Father, let me do it." After sitting down, Lin Xuan reached out to take the teapot from Lin Dongyang.
"No, the old man can do it by himself. It's quite fun to make tea." Lin Dongyang said.
"Father, as long as you like it." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Dongyang said with a smile: "This tea is not bad. It tastes much better than brewed tea. The most important thing is that it is very convenient."
The steps of making tea are very cumbersome, which is not as convenient as making tea.
"Father, what do you want me to do?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Dongyang poured a cup of tea for Lin Xuan, and said, "Xuan'er, you have been crowned now, which is no different than before. From now on, I will entrust you with all the family affairs. You should study hard."
"Father, you should take care of the family affairs. How can I be free?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin asked him to go to the court, which already made him feel dizzy, and if he took over the family affairs, it would be fatal.
"What are you thinking? The family affairs will not be handed over to you until you get married. What Dad said is to let you learn more." Lin Dongyang said.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, don't worry, as long as I have time, I will definitely study hard."
Now he can only stabilize Lin Dongyang and find a way to solve the matter of going to court.
Let me explain again here. Many people have said that in ancient times, men had [-] crowns, and women had [-] crowns.
Say what the author writes indiscriminately, in fact, the ancient times would not follow this requirement.
The coronation ceremony and the Jiji ceremony will be held before the marriage.
In ancient times, people got married relatively early, and they couldn't have children, so let's hold it again.
