Then keep quiet for now and let Empress Duan think that her evil plan has succeeded.
"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Be careful with what you eat, wear and use."
"Yes, my lady."
Two days later, the annual tea tasting party was held in the Yijing Garden of the Imperial Palace.
In the center is the imperial throne, surrounded by a circle of tables and cushions, which are the seats for the concubines.
There are Kung Fu tea utensils on each table.
After the concubines prepared the tea, they presented it to Emperor Xuanwu for tasting and the winner was selected.
Of course, tea cannot be without fruit snacks.
Palace servants from the imperial kitchen brought snacks one after another, and Chief Steward Liu bowed and brought a plate to the imperial throne.
"Your Majesty, this is the phoenix egg that Yue Yuchu has just developed. Please give your comments."
Phoenix eggs are made from unripe eggs from a hen’s belly. After being taken out, they are stuffed with minced fish and minced meat, and then fried until golden brown.
Xuan Ling picked up the jade and tasted one, praising it: "It tastes pretty good. I'll give it to you..."

She had a sweet fragrance. Xue Jieyu, who was sitting next to her, asked quietly, "Sister Cui, what kind of perfume are you using? It smells so sweet."
Cui Nianmi smiled slightly.
Sheng Xiyan glanced at Xuan Ling with a pair of lustful eyes, and then looked at his Mi'er!
Pick up the phoenix egg with jade and taste it.
Hmm, it’s delicious. The meat filling seems to have a special flavor.
He ate while savoring the food and finished all five phoenix eggs on the plate.
Empress Duan became alert. Why did Concubine Chen have such a good appetite?
Concubine De also noticed that something was wrong.
