Chapter 556: Making Tea



"Your Majesty, based on what this man said, you doubt me?"

At least there was some affection between them. Just saying this casually makes one doubt what affection there is. He Zhizhou stood aside, and the guard next to him also quietly approached.

"Your Majesty, now..."

He Zhizhou kicked the guard out of the door.

What now, he never intended to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, nor did he intend to reveal his true identity. As a bastard, he had suffered a lot of injustice in the He family.

Now he finally understood why those old stubborn people were determined to take away his dagger.

How could he be a bastard from some aristocratic family? He was clearly a candidate for the throne of the royal family!

Even if they wanted to watch him die, it would depend on whether these people had the strength. Even at this moment, they were planning to collude with the Qin Dynasty to end things together, and it was impossible for them to rebel.

"Your Majesty, believe me."

"I believe you."

His feelings for He Zhizhou were not just a matter of a day or two. From the beginning to the end, they helped each other. Besides, when he was poisoned before, he was also gone.

If you really wanted to rebel, you should have done it then. There's no need to wait until now.

"His Majesty!"

The admiral blew his beard and glared at his subordinate, whose crutches clattered loudly. There was already sufficient evidence in front of him, so why was he still doubting this matter?

But the current admiral of the navy has obviously forgotten that the battle reports from the front line are both true and false, and not all of them are true.

A mixture of true and false.

"I'm wondering... have you just forgotten the ridiculous thing you did earlier, Admiral?"

It was obvious that Zhao Xin wanted him to review the crime of deceiving the emperor that night, and it was also clearly a threat.

If he said one more word, I guess this head...

Not to mention having the Imperial Sword in hand. Even if you have the Golden Medal of Immunity, it is useless. You are just coming here to die.

"Oh, my old waist was sprained just now."

He knew very well that revenge is never too late. Besides, he could have come today or tomorrow, so there was no need to rush in today.

If the other party is not happy after the gun hits you, you will be like hitting a wall and there is no turning back.

The consequence of not looking back is just one word.

die.

"That's perfect. Prime Minister Zhuge, please help the Admiral out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Now the two most threatening people in the room have been eliminated, and the only one left is Xiao Chenzi standing next to him.

The eyes that know people.

He Zhizhou's loyalty to him couldn't be better, so he had no reason to frame a good person.

Besides...if this matter was heard by someone with ulterior motives.

"I know you have a lot of grievances that you can't express, but now you can talk to me. I also heard that you..."

And this person once again picked up the Gan Jiang sword and arrow at the door.

"Your Majesty, this sword is shining all over. If Your Majesty wants to make it into a door god, it would be better to give it to me!"

My goodness, this guy just passed the test and now he is asking the emperor for things blatantly. Who gave him the courage? It must be Fish Leong!

"fart!"

Zhao Xin only glanced at him, and the man on the other side curled his lips and gently placed it on the sword rack. There was no way he could do that, he just loved collecting swords and arrows, especially Gan Jiang and Mo Ye.

He didn't even dare to dream about it.

The two swords and arrows, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, can still appear in the dreams of the Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this sword arrow can do much more than this, and your Majesty has placed it where it is and can only do this."

This is quite true, but according to Zhao Xin's nature, he would not give this valuable thing to anyone even if he took it into the tomb, even to those around him.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a double-edged sword?"

He also didn't know much about swords, so when this question was asked to him by chance, he really couldn't answer it.

"Your Majesty, do you know about this sword?"

Seeing Zhao Xin staring at Jian Shi at the door for a long time without saying anything, he was stunned and asked. However, Zhao Xin still didn't say anything. He sat silently on the chair and drank a cup of tea.

"Xiao Chenzi, go out and make me a pot of Longjing tea to entertain this foreign guest."

This is the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Everyone who comes from afar is a guest.

"Your Majesty... I'm afraid this Longjing tea is a little lacking. How about brewing a pot of Dahongpao directly?"

Mother trees are scarce, and while Da Hong Pao isn't as valuable as Longjing, it's still a valuable commodity. So I didn't dare to start my own business.

Also ask the emperor's opinion first.

"Soak, soak more."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He didn't really like drinking tea anyway, so if he brewed the tea and waited for it to cool down before sipping it, it would be a waste. If he didn't drink it, it would be a waste of tribute from other countries.

Each country paid tribute to China with tea, even high-quality tea bags, and also sent several top-notch tea artists.

But all of this is based on his desire to drink tea.

If you don't want to drink tea, it's useless.

"Your Majesty... Although this tea is delicious, you can't steep it too long. It will become bitter if you do."

snort.

If you weren't there, I would have really wanted to let Xiao Chenzi make trouble by soaking you in this hot water, and scald and burn you all at once.

At this time, Su Xi came back and completely missed the big show. When she entered the room, she found these two people drinking tea and playing Go.

She sniffed the air and found a hint of...the smell of burnt tea leaves?

Who is this? Is this the only skill in making tea?

This person is so good at making tea that it is really speechless. Although it has nothing to do with her, but this emperor is not picky at all?

I heard that the emperor of the previous two years was so corrupt, incompetent, and picky that he developed a tongue that was truly that of an emperor. You can tell what it is by tasting it.

And nowadays I don’t see this technique being used anymore.

And looking at this...

"Your Majesty... don't you think there's something wrong with this tea?"

He also tasted the problem.

Bitter tight.

Xiao Chenzi had clearly understood what he meant. The taste was truly unbearable. He didn't know why, but even if he wanted to eat something, he couldn't take more than one bite.

Not only are there constraints from the court, but there are also constraints from himself.

"What can I do? Do you doubt my taste?"

This is not a doubt... He asked the question blatantly. Could it be that Zhao Xin really can't taste it at all and still has to ask?

That's not his style.

Lost your sense of taste?

It's possible. I mentioned before that I had a cold. It's true that catching a cold can cause a temporary loss of taste, but it will recover soon.

This poor emperor's tongue.

"Tsuru no Shuu, what do you think?"

"It's tasteless. We should add more salt. I heard that Xinzhi once offered as tribute the method for refining fine salt."

You're dreaming. You're thinking of getting a share of this newly-tributed tribute. Where do you get the courage to ask for it? Aren't you afraid that Zhao Xin will send you to jail for two days on the spot?

"His Majesty?"

"Don't be stingy, little Chenzi. Bring me the box of fine salt from my room."

He Zhizhou smiled happily.

As a result, half of the box fell inside.

Zhao Xin was considerate enough to take out a golden spoon from the side and place it on the table after shaking it.

"please."
