Chapter 17 Tea Tasting

This is the truth, but when you say it to your face, it is a little impersonal.

Qin Shuyan's already red face became more and more red when she heard this, but this time it was not because of shyness, but because of embarrassment.

It's a pity that King Qi didn't find the big beauty at a loss, and after saying a word, he didn't mean to continue chatting. He sat down slowly, lowered his head and studied the tea set carefully for a while, then took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and made it himself as if no one was around.

When Jiang Mengyun entered the imperial garden, he saw that there was a complete and exquisite set of tea-making tools on the low table in front of each of them, a small tea stove, a small teapot, two tea bowls, and even the tea leaves were packed in small glass bottles.

It's just that she has always been able to drink and not cook, and she wasted good things in vain.

Jiang Mengyun thought to herself, of course she wouldn't speak, besides, she was not familiar with this Qin beauty, even if the other party looked gentle and submissive, she couldn't take the initiative to help resolve the embarrassment, as for King Qi, he was engrossed in watching the heat of the tea stove, and didn't pay attention to anything else at all.

The air was suddenly quiet, and Qin Shuyan was thrown on the spot, so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into!

Fortunately, although the third princess is stupid, her big personality can break the silence, and when she saw that no one spoke, she immediately shouted: "Ah, Brother Qi is really, you just thought it was specially painted for Sister Shuyan, what's wrong?" Anyway, it's all a gift for her! By the way, Sister Shuyan, let's go and sit down with Mrs. Qin. ”

Mozi Qi was still making tea, and when he heard this, he paused with his hand holding the teapot, and raised his head very seriously to explain: "This king never lies. ”

“……”

Mo Xin'er was speechless, she almost crooked her mouth in anger, pulled Qin Shuyan and ran away, not caring whether it was appropriate to leave Jiang Mengyun and King Qi to sit alone, and muttered in a low voice as she walked: "Brother Qi is really not at all puzzled, he always doesn't reply when he should answer, and he doesn't need to answer, he answers faster than anyone else!" ”

Qin Shuyan didn't know what to say, and was reluctantly dragged away with a strange face.

For a while, except for a few palace maids standing far away in the pavilion, only Jiang Mengyun and Mo Ziqi were left.

Their seats were far apart and extremely unfamiliar with each other, Jiang Mengyun glanced at him, and hurriedly lowered his head silently and pretended to study the tea set. Mo Ziqi sat there stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if he finally realized that he had made people angry, so he lowered his head in a little panic and continued to make tea.

On the way, he accidentally spilled the tea outside, and he almost didn't burn his hands, which made Jiang Mengyun tremble.

But he didn't speak, and she didn't take the initiative to speak, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Mo Ziqi didn't know what he was thinking, and when he poured the tea into the tea bowl for the last time, he really burned his hands and gasped. Jiang Mengyun resisted the urge to step forward to take a look, he had already hurriedly wiped it with a towel, but with a wave of his hand, he overturned the entire teapot, and the hot water flowed all over the table in an instant.

Jiang Mengyun is really on pins and needles, regretting that she entered the pavilion too early, and can't help but miss the "thick-skinned" third princess just now, if she is here, the scene may not be as out of control as it is now.

One is His Royal Highness King Qi, who is famous in the Great Liang Kingdom, and the other is a little orphan girl who is "famous" in the enemy country, Jiang Mengyun knows his identity, even if he wants to come forward to help, he can't do anything, even if he takes the initiative to speak, he can't do it.

No matter how many pairs of eyes looked, she couldn't make a mistake.

Fortunately, the little guy who had been following from a distance over there saw it, and soon rushed up to help, but he didn't really let His Royal Highness King Qi wet his clothes, and he didn't retreat until everything was cleaned up. Just when Jiang Mengyun finally put his heart down, Mo Ziqi suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I'm calling the girl a joke." ”

Jiang Mengyun raised her head when she heard the sound, looked left and right for a long time and there was no one around, before she reacted to what she said to her, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no ......"

I thought that the conversation would end here, but the surroundings were quiet for a moment, and the king of Qi had nothing to say: "I forgot the time when I learned calligraphy last night, and I practiced the sword for a moment when I got up in the morning, and for some reason my arm was a little sore, and I made such a joke, I hope the girl doesn't mind." ”

"......" Jiang Mengyun had to admire Mo Xin'er, although this Royal Highness is not an indifferent person, but when she speaks, she is really unable to answer, she has already said that she can't laugh, how can she explain now, and ask about "minding"? After a pause, he had to pull his mouth again and say, "Don't mind, don't mind." ”

Awkward silence.

Mo Ziqi's hand holding the teapot paused for a moment, and almost spilled it out again, but he stabilized it in time, and said again: "Doesn't the girl make tea?" ”

"......" is really unanswerable in every sentence! Jiang Mengyun felt that he was about to grit his teeth, and almost wanted to throw the tea cup in front of him, but he had to respond, "I...... Won't cook. Can't let this messy topic chat anymore, Jiang Mengyun can only steal the conversation with the guest: "Your Highness likes to make tea?" ”

Mo Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if it was because of Jiang Mengyun's justifiable "can't cook", or because he was frightened by her sudden and active questioning. This time, however, he replied quickly, with his usual simplicity: "Yes." ”

And it was gone.

"......" Although Jiang Mengyun is articulate and can speak well, it is usually when the nerves are tense and the task is needed, and at this moment, facing the person in front of her, for some reason, she really can't find a topic for a purpose, but she is running out of words.

The scene suddenly became a little cold.

After King Qi answered, he didn't hear her continue to ask, raised his head, his eyes turned around her, then lowered his head and brewed the tea in his hand again, and actually grabbed the topic again: "Does Miss Jiang drink tea?" The king's craftsmanship is okay, you can taste it. ”

…… Can she say no?!

"I can't ask for it, I'm flattered." Almost at the same time, Jiang Mengyun had a smile on his face, and hurriedly stood up and bowed in thanks. This is basic etiquette, although she is full of unhappiness, but when the other party takes the initiative to invite, and the tone clearly does not allow her to have a choice, she naturally can't deliberately avoid it.

She took a few steps, and sat down cross-legged in front of him.

As soon as King Qi raised his hand, he slightly supported his cuffs and made a "please" gesture to her, Jiang Mengyun was not polite, she didn't know how to make tea, but there was still some skill in tasting tea, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and the next moment, she was curious: "This is not the tea in the palace, but the taste is somewhat familiar, is it King Qi's private collection?" ”

"Yes." He replied quickly, Jiang Mengyun thought that this sentence had already been answered, but when he picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth again, King Qi gave an unprecedented explanation: "This tea is tasted by others, it is nothing more than sweet and refreshing, but the girl should feel different." ”
