Retell a folk story, less, neither more nor less, and you will get something!

Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, and watched the country girls pick tea to show their affection. On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several country girls picking tea at more than a dozen shady tea tables. He was very happy and learned to pick tea. Just picked one, suddenly the eunuch came to report: "The Queen Mother is ill, please return to Beijing as soon as possible."

When Emperor Qianlong heard that the Empress Dowager was ill, he put a handful of tea leaves in a bag and returned to Beijing day and night. In fact, the queen mother is not seriously ill, but she has eaten too many delicacies and got angry. As she spoke, the Queen Mother smelled a fragrance on her face and asked Gan Long, "What good things did the emperor bring from Hangzhou?"

Ganlong thought, I hurried back, but forgot to bring some gifts to show my filial piety to my mother. However, I smelled it carefully, and he touched it with his hand, remembering that it was a handful of tea picked by Lion Peak. A few days later, it dried up.

Qianlong made the maid-in-waiting make a cup, and the queen mother took the fragrant tea and drank it slowly. Strange to say, the queen mother felt particularly comfortable after drinking tea soup. Gan Long quickly sent a decree to name the tea tree in front of the Gong Hu Temple as Imperial Tea Tree, which was taken care of by special personnel. It is collected and sent to Beijing every year for the exclusive use of the Empress Dowager. Because there are only eighteen tea trees in front of Gong Hu Temple, it has been called "Eighteen Palace Tea" ever since.
