Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly pulled Jiang Xirong to stand up and kneel down, knocking her head to the ground, and shouted: "I dare not!"

At the end of the long corridor of the pavilion, the two girls knelt on their knees, their heads buried low, and were silent.

Xiao Tuo glared at Liu Zhen fiercely, and clenched his slender hands tightly.

Seeing that the two girls were scared like this, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Don't be scared by San'er. I just want to taste the tea brewed by the famous Jiang family. There is no need to panic."

Jiang Yuanyi realized what the emperor wanted to do, and the two of them still knelt and dared not get up.

The emperor said, "Hurry up and have someone demonstrate the art of tea making to the young masters and young ladies of the noble families."

Jiang Yuanyi then helped her sister stand up. Jiang Xirong's fingertips trembled a little: "Yier, I can't do it..."

If something goes wrong at this time, it might be a disaster for the entire Jiang family. Jiang Yuanyi patted the back of Jiang Xirong's hand: "I'll go, don't be afraid."

Xiao Tuo still didn't relax. He watched the girl walk towards him gracefully. The half of her face that was exposed was still amazing, especially her eyes, which were clear and bright, but because of the upturned eye shape and slightly red eye tails, they exuded a natural charm.

Several princes, including the emperor, showed amazing expressions.

Chu Huan sat aside and looked away.

The third prince narrowed his eyes and said, "You are not respectful enough to cover your face when meeting His Majesty!"

Jiang Yuanyi cursed the abominable third prince three hundred times, then knelt down and said, "I have a wound on my face, and I am afraid of polluting His Majesty's bright eyes."

Xiao Tuo finally couldn't help but said, "Third prince, what's wrong with other girls who haven't reached the age of marriage wearing a veil? But you, who have repeatedly made trouble for me, are a disgrace to men." Liu Zhen

said, "Mr. Xiao, you have repeatedly made trouble for me , which is a disgrace to men." Why are you talking about defending her?"

Xiao Tuo smiled and tilted his head towards the third prince: "I

just can't get used to it." The emperor looked at the two people who quarreled as soon as they met, smiled, and said: "Miss, if you don't want to take it, then don't take it. Let them enjoy this world-famous tea art."

Jiang Yuanyi then stood up and called a maid: "Can you light a stick of incense for me?" The maid hurried over, took the top-grade incense in the mansion, lit it, inserted it in the incense burner, and brought it back soon.

The maids in the palace had already brought a tea table and a futon. Jiang Yuanyi knelt on it, waiting for the water to boil.

She had a slender waist, a long neck, a straight back, and an extremely elegant posture. Just sitting upright gave people a sense of tranquility and elegance.

On the tea table was a tea bucket, which contained tea scoops, tea clips, tea strainers, tea needles and other tea utensils. On the right was a kettle for boiling water. In the middle was a tea table, on top of which was a purple clay pot and a fair cup with a black background and gold embossed patterns. In front of the purple clay pot were seven sets of tea sets - on seven coasters, there was a columnar smelling cup and a slightly flat tea tasting cup. Next to the tea table were tea filters and tea filter trays, as well as a tea scoop.

The water had boiled, and Jiang Yuanyi turned the inverted smelling cup out and placed it side by side with the tea tasting cup. Then he lifted the wooden handle of the kettle and slowly poured the water into the purple clay pot, then poured the water into the teacup, warming the cup and boiling the cup. Jiang Yuanyi took out some tea leaves with a tea clip and put them into the teapot, then used a teaspoon to put the tea leaves into the purple clay pot.

The girl's fingers were as slender as jade, soft and boneless, and every step was slow and gentle, which made people calm down unconsciously.

At this time, the pot was warm, wrapped with dry tea leaves. Jiang Yuanyi slowly poured water, and the water covered the tea leaves. The tea leaves slowly stretched out a little. Jiang Yuanyi held the handle of the pot with one hand and gently pressed the lid of the pot with the other hand, pouring the water in the purple clay pot into the fairness cup. The tea leaves in the purple clay pot slowly stretched out their leaves, as if they had woken up.

Jiang Yuanyi picked up the kettle, slowly poured water into the purple clay pot, and started brewing. She gently twisted the lid and closed it, then picked up the freshly brewed tea water and slowly poured it on the purple clay pot.

She put the tea strainer on the Gongdao cup, then gently picked up the purple clay pot with her jade hands, and slowly poured water into the Gongdao cup. The aroma of tea immediately overflowed, blending with the incense burned in the incense burner, complementing each other.

The emperor was the closest, smelling the refreshing and elegant fragrance of the tea, which slowly penetrated from the tip of his nose into his throat, and his limbs and bones became relaxed and relaxed.

The woman was so elegant, and while performing this tea art, she didn't feel isolated at all. It just made people feel that she was doing something very ordinary. All her body language blended naturally with the fragrance and tea.

Jiang Yuanyi slowly poured the tea in the fairness cup into the seven scented cups in front. Her eyes were like water, and she looked straight ahead, and said softly, "Please."

One cup for the emperor, one cup for Prince Hui and the princess, one cup for the three princes, and one cup for the princess. Of course, there was no one for him, and Xiao Tuo curled his lips.

The maid of the palace hurried forward to pick it up, put it on the tray, and then brought it to the seven nobles.

The emperor poured the tea in the scented cup into the tea tasting cup, and then held the warm scented cup to the tip of his nose and sniffed it a few times. This Tieguanyin has a natural orchid fragrance, which is rich and lasting, refreshing and moisturizing the lungs.

He held the edge of the cup with his index finger and thumb, and the bottom of the cup with his middle finger, with the base of the cup facing himself. He used a little force with his middle finger to lift the cup up, and a mouthful of the light and mellow Tieguanyin was sent into his mouth. It was slightly bitter at first, but after the bitterness, it quickly became sweet, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

The emperor nodded: "It lives up to its reputation."

The Sixth Prince took a sip. Compared with the masters in the palace, this tea art is only better than that of the masters in the palace. After all, she was a woman who grew up in a tea family. Her movements were smooth and her temperament was relaxed and elegant.

He looked up at the woman and felt that her figure was somewhat familiar. He lowered his eyes and thought... It turned out to be her...

The Third Prince had always been addicted to wine, and he didn't know anything about tea, but he pretended to enjoy it and drank a few sips.

Xiao Tuo walked around the Fourth Prince and whispered to him, "Third Prince, I'm thirsty."

The Third Prince rolled his eyes at him and drank the tea in one gulp.

Xiao Tuo: "..."

Jiang Yuanyi picked up the kettle and slowly poured water into it, and began to brew the second cup of tea. The second cup of tea was not as fragrant as the first cup, but the tea taste was more mellow. She divided the second cup of tea, and the maids in the palace hurriedly brought it down.

The emperor drank and sighed: "I have always heard Prince Hui talk about the Jiang family, and he always praised the Jiang family's tea and tea art. Today, I tasted it and it is indeed worthy of the reputation."

Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly stood up, knelt and saluted, with her hands on her legs: "Your Majesty, thank you for your compliments."

The emperor waved his hand: "Miss Jiang's tea art is indeed superb, and there are also tea etiquettes." He turned to look at Princess Mingyue, "Yuer, how about letting Miss Jiang be your tea art master?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room burst into laughter.

A small merchant girl actually became the tea art master of the most favored princess today. This is a gift from heaven, which makes people have to be amazed.

Xiao Tuo turned to look at the emperor and silently tightened the cup.

Jiang Yuanyi knelt down quickly and said, "I am a humble girl with limited knowledge and talent, and I am afraid I am not qualified to be a princess..."

A crisp voice interrupted her, and Princess Mingyue said coquettishly: "Okay!"

Jiang Yuanyi raised her head and saw Princess Mingyue standing up, smiling at her.

Yuanyi had no contact with the princess in her previous life. She only knew that she was later sent to marry a foreign prince, but she never heard about her life after the marriage. But in this life, she became her master. Where

the river of fate will start to flow is no longer under her control.

Jiang Yuanyi didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse, whether to be happy or sad, she just lowered her eyes silently, kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor directly ordered someone to add a seat next to the princess, and Jiang Yuanyi walked to the princess and sat down. In front of him was Chu Huan, and in front of the right was Xiao Tuo.

Xiao Tuo spread one leg sideways, his right hand lazily resting on his knee, his slender fingertips holding a cup, his narrow eyes looking straight at this side, his eyebrows furrowed.

Jiang Yuanyi knelt beside the princess, lowering his eyebrows, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

The princess turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuanyi, pouting her lips and whispering, "Aren't you happy to be my master? Do you know what an honor this is?"

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and shook her head, "Princess, you're overthinking it."

The princess turned sideways and looked at Jiang Yuanyi with bulging eyes, "Whether you like it or not, it's a foregone conclusion. From now on, you have to come to the palace when I ask you to, otherwise I will sentence you."

Xiao Tuo was close and heard clearly. Seeing that Jiang Yuanyi didn't say anything, he thought she was really scared by Mingyue, so he smiled and said, "When did our little princess like to scare people so much?"

Chu Huan turned his head to glance at Xiao Tuo, and when he turned his head to look at Jiang Yuanyi, he found that she was looking at Xiao Tuo with a smile in her eyes. The moment she noticed his gaze, she quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head.

The maid beside him saw that the tea in his cup was half full, and said softly: "Sir, do you want more tea?"

Chu Huan smiled and turned his head: "No."

The maid saw that he was handsome, with bright eyes and eyebrows, and his face was half red.

He Huilan looked at the coquettish maid, clenched her fingers tightly, and pinched her palms white.

Mingyue made a face, then turned to Jiang Yuanyi and said fiercely: "Did you hear that?"

Jiang Yuanyi nodded obediently: "I heard it."

Mingyue stopped talking, picked up the cake in front of her and handed a piece to Jiang Yuanyi, and suddenly said: "I'm only thirteen years old, younger than you, you have to give in to me."

Jiang Yuanyi was really happy this time. She thought that the little princess agreed to let her be her master because she liked her. She took the cake from the princess and smiled: "Okay."

The tea party ended at the beginning of the Hai period. Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Xirong stepped aside and walked out of the pavilion slowly after all the nobles left.

A person suddenly came out from behind and a note was secretly put into her hand. Jiang Yuanyi raised her head in surprise, and saw Xiao Tuo walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yuanyi clutched the note tightly, her face flushed behind the white veil. She followed her sister to the side hall to find her mother, and then got on the carriage back home.

About a mile to the right of the Prince's Mansion was a lake. It was already dark, and only a vague shadow could be seen outside.

Jiang Yuanyi inadvertently lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw several dark shadows lifting a man and throwing him into the lake.

The man seemed to be tied up tightly and gagged, and he didn't make any sound.

Jiang Yuanyi shouted, "Stop!"
