The ancient plain was awarded the best tea in the world
Cixi asked him why he didn't go into the courtyard to fight for tea. Gu Pingyuan said angrily that the people inside had paid a lot of money to get their rankings. Just to get in would cost several thousand taels of silver. He couldn't afford it and he couldn't keep up.At this time, Gu Pingyuan recognized Su Zixuan, who was pretending to be a maid and wanted to poison Cixi, but told Cixi not to drink.At the Ten Thousand Tea Conference, Prince Gong was in charge, and tea merchants from all over the country were offering their own teas to participate in the competition. The eunuch suddenly came to report that Cixi had come to the scene and had returned to the palace.
Prince Gong stopped the game and rushed to the palace to apologize.At the same time, word had spread that Gu Pingyuan's Lanxue Tea was praised by Cixi, and Anhui Governor Qiao Song sent someone to invite Gu Pingyuan to his home.From Qiao Song's words, Gu Pingyuan realized that the middle-aged woman he had just met was actually Cixi, and was shocked.Qiao Song also revealed that Cixi admired the ancient plains very much.Prince Gong was reprimanded by Cixi. Soon after, Cixi's personal eunuch An Dehai brought people to announce the imperial edict and deliver the plaque. He announced on the spot that Gu Pingyuan's Lanxue Tea had won the first place in the world. Gu Pingyuan was surprised.
The heads of tea merchants' associations from various places learned that Huizhou tea had won the first place in the world. They came to congratulate Mrs. Hu on winning the championship and wanted to see the plaque given by Cixi.Mr. Hu was very surprised. He didn't know what was going on until he heard the other party said it was Lan Xue Tea.Mr. Hu asked Hou Er to quickly invite Gu Pingyuan.Regardless of past suspicions, Gu Pingyuan accepted the invitation, but both of them were fainted.It turned out that the carriage that Hou Er got on was specially prepared by Su Zixuan, and she had poisoned the tea.
