Chapter 220 What a disgrace
Jiang Fei's eyes went dark, and when she turned around, she saw that Pei Jing's face had darkened.
She didn't understand why this person was so obsessed with her tea. Was rock tea poisonous? Why couldn't she drink it?
"Um...drinking rock tea occasionally for a change of taste is okay...right?"
Jiang Fei tried to comfort Pei Jing, but his face became even gloomier, and even his cheeks tightened.
It didn't look like she had drunk rock tea, it looked like she had cheated on him in front of him.
"Okay, okay." Pei Jing said coldly, "Are you tired of drinking Baihao?"
Jiang Fei didn't understand, so she said honestly, "It's a bit boring to drink it every day. You can actually switch it up."
Princess Anping seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere. She smiled and handed over the brocade box. "This tea is strong, but has a long aftertaste. Take it home and drink it slowly."
This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Pei Jing took the brocade box without saying thank you. Instead, he held Jiang Fei's wrist and walked towards the carriage.
His back was stretched straight like a fully drawn bow. Everyone could see that he was furious, but he didn't show his anger in front of others.
Jiang Fei was silently taken to the carriage by Pei Jing. Pei Jing threw the brocade box on the table, leaned against the wall of the carriage and said nothing.
Jiang Fei secretly raised her eyes to glance at him, and saw that Pei Jing had his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, and his profile was as hard as a piece of ice.
The brocade box on the table opened when he threw it down, and the rich aroma of Wuyi Rock Tea wafted out.
Pei Jing's mind was full of Jiang Fei being tired of Baihao Yinzhen and wanting to drink some other tea. She was tired of it, she was tired of it so quickly...
"Well." Jiang Fei tried to break the deadlock, "Actually, I only tasted the rock tea."
"You promised me that you would only drink Baihao Yinzhen." Pei Jing suddenly leaned forward and said, "You didn't do it."
Jiang Fei said honestly: "I didn't do it, but I was visiting a guest. I can't refuse the tea given by the host, right?"
Pei Jing said in a deep voice, "Of course you can. I have always refused all the beauties presented to me at banquets. I never even looked at them, let alone tasted them."
Jiang Fei was confused by what he said. What was going on?
"Can this be the same?"
"Why is it different?" Pei Jing laughed self-deprecatingly. "Yeah, drinking Silver Needle Baihao every day would make you tired of it. After all, the punch of Rock Tea really does bring out the freshness."
Jiang Fei couldn't understand his agonizing way of getting angry at all, and said angrily and anxiously, "Pei Jing! You're being unreasonable."
"How am I being unreasonable?"
"It's just tea, how can that be wrong? From now on, I'm not only going to drink rock tea, I'm also going to drink black tea, white tea, and oolong tea. I'm going to drink a different kind every day!"
Pei Jing was stunned by her roar, as if he had not expected her to get so angry.
The anger on his face faded away in an instant, replaced by a look of almost confused grievance. His lips were pressed into a straight line, and he looked embarrassed and helpless.
The carriage bumped along all the way into the palace and stopped at the gate. Neither of them spoke again.
Jiang Fei was the first to lift the curtain and jumped out of the carriage without waiting for Pei Jing to help him, leaving Pei Jing's outstretched hand hanging there.
The two men entered Xiesongzhai one after the other. The servants sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and none of them dared to step forward.
Jiang Fei hurried into the room and slammed the door shut. Pei Jing stared at the door for a moment, then turned and went to the study.
Duan Jiu and Wen Zhu looked at each other and stood in the corridor to discuss countermeasures.
Wen Zhu didn't go with them today and didn't know what happened.
"What's going on? How did they end up falling out after just one outing? The prince actually turned his back on the young lady."
Duan Jiu glanced at Wen Zhu and asked, "Why do you think it got to this point?"
Wen Zhu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. "From what I see, maybe the young lady stared at some handsome young man for a little too long? Or maybe she got too close to him. Otherwise, why would the prince be so angry, his face as black as the bottom of a pot?"
Duan Jiu's temples throbbed when he heard this. "It's all your fault."
Duan Jiu lowered his voice and recounted the previous story about Baihao Yinzhen and rock tea.
…
After returning to her room, Jiang Fei took a sip of tea to cool down.
The door knocked twice. Thinking it was Pei Jing, Jiang Fei quickly grabbed a book and opened it, but Wen Zhu walked in.
Wen Zhu walked up to Jiang Fei and without waiting for Jiang Fei to speak, he knelt down on the ground.
Jiang Fei was startled, closed the book, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wen Zhu lowered her head, her tone somewhat annoyed, "Miss, this is all my fault. I was too talkative and talked nonsense to the prince."
She told Pei Jing everything she had said to him about tea, and kowtowed at the end.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have used tea as an analogy."
Jiang Fei was stunned after hearing this.
No wonder, he took off his clothes and let her touch him when he entered the room, and also didn't allow her to drink rock tea. It seems that he compared tea to a person, and he himself was the Baihao Yinzhen tea.
So Jiang Linyuan is Yancha. A few days ago, when Jiang Linyuan came to see her, she couldn't even look at him.
The anger in her heart instantly subsided. She thought Pei Jing was so chauvinistic that he even controlled what kind of tea she drank.
Jiang Fei's expression became more serious. "How many years have you been with him?"
Wen Zhu looked up and said, "Ten years, ever since the prince started looking for a young lady, Wen Zhu and my brother have been following the prince."
"Don't you understand his character after all these years?"
Hearing this tone, Wen Zhu also became serious. "In other matters, the prince is very shrewd and doesn't need his subordinates to say much. But once it comes to the young lady's affairs, the prince is like a different person. He tends to get stuck in a rut and even take a joke seriously."
After hearing Wen Zhu's words, Jiang Fei sighed softly.
"The prince just...cares too much about you."
"I know," Jiang Fei rubbed his brows, "but this won't work. He has to learn to trust me."
Wen Zhu wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally lowered his head and didn't dare to respond.
Jiang Fei turned and looked at her, "Go down first, this is not your fault."
Jiang Fei stood by the window for a while.
The shadow cast by Pei Jing's childhood still lingers like an lingering haze, lurking in his heart. Pei Jing still lacks a sense of security.
…
In the study, Pei Jing sat there blankly, Jiang Fei's words still echoing in her ears.
Wen Zhu went to the young lady to persuade her, and Duan Jiu could only take on the job of comforting the prince. After all, the disaster was caused by his own sister.
"She said she wants to drink black tea, white tea, and oolong tea in the future, and change it every day. Baihao Yinzhen is not her only choice."
Duan Jiu looked at the prince's listless expression and said earnestly, "Don't take it to heart, Prince. Teas all have their own flavors. Green tea is refreshing, black tea is mellow, and oolong tea has a sweet aftertaste. Drinking them alternately will not only allow you to try new things, but will also be good for your health."
Pei Jing raised his eyes, frowning even tighter, and said in a muffled voice, "But I am Baihao Yinzhen!"
Duan Jiu almost couldn't hold it in. He was getting too stuck in this dilemma.
"Tea is tea, people are people. You can drink tea in different ways, as long as the people around you don't change. If you are worried, you can accompany the young lady to drink tea in the future."
After hearing this, Pei Jing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Could it be that when she was "drinking" other "tea", he would have to watch and "taste" it with her? This was too...
Pei Jing slammed his fist on the desk and shouted, "How shameless!"
