Chapter 195 Cooking Tea
The palace maids brought breakfast to the table.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Xiao Xixi immediately stuffed the candied fruit in her hand into Baoqin's hand.
"Please help me put these candied fruits away. I want to eat them as snacks later."
Baoqin smiled and agreed: "Okay."
After breakfast, a pile of files were delivered from the Ministry of Justice.
When Xiao Xixi thought that there was another story to listen to, she immediately became excited. She ran to sit beside the prince and diligently helped him grind the ink.
At this time Sizhu came back again.
She changed into a dark blue double-breasted skirt, which was tied around her waist and made her figure look graceful.
She still held the jade bottle in her arms.
After stepping forward and greeting, she smiled sweetly and spoke softly.
"I heard that His Royal Highness loves to drink tea. This is the dew that I collected from the Imperial Garden before dawn. The tea made with this dew tastes the best."
Baoqin secretly thought that this was not good. This woman was not giving up and still wanted to compete for favor.
She immediately winked at Xiao Liangdi, wanting her to suppress the man.
If Sizhu really succeeded in winning favor in front of Xiao Liangdi, other people would follow suit. In that case, wouldn't Xiao Liangdi become a stepping stone in the eyes of others?
This must not set a precedent!
Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "Does it taste really good?"
Sizhu smiled: "You will know once you have tasted it, my lady."
After saying that, she knelt down beside the small red clay stove and began to make tea.
She was obviously used to doing this kind of thing, and her movements were skillful and graceful, which was pleasing to the eye.
While she was making tea, she would look up at the prince from time to time.
That look hides endless ambiguity.
Baoqin was almost anxious to death when she saw this.
She winked at Xiao Liangdi frantically, but Xiao Liangdi was still staring at the teapot on the small stove. She was curious about what tea brewed with dew would taste like.
Luo Qinghan had already unfolded a file. He asked, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Xiao Xixi immediately shifted her attention from the teapot to the prince.
She quickly moved over, sat next to him, and replied obediently, "I want to listen."
Luo Qinghan began to tell the first story.
Xiao Xixi held her chin with both hands and listened very attentively.
Sizhu looked at the prince several times, but saw that he was always looking at the file in front of him and never looked at her at all. She felt extremely depressed.
After finally waiting for the tea to be cooked, she picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.
She walked to the prince with the teacup in her hand. In light of the lesson last night, she didn't dare to touch the prince this time. She just bent her waist lower on purpose when she put down the teacup.
From the prince's perspective, he could just see the white skin on her chest.
Luo Qinghan glanced at Xiao Liangdi and reminded her, "Seal."
Xiao Xixi immediately picked up the prince's seal and stamped it on the place he designated.
After doing all this, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Sizhu asked expectantly, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Luo Qinghan: "General."
He put down his teacup and picked up another file.
Sizhu was unwilling and wanted to say something else, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Xiao Liangdi say.
"This tea is too weak. I don't like it."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "If you don't like it, then don't drink it."
Xiao Xixi said, "I have a way to make this tea taste better."
She asked Baoqin to bring a bowl of buttermilk and a bowl of honey.
She poured buttermilk into the tea, mixed it, and added appropriate amount of honey to taste, and a cup of milk tea was freshly prepared!
She tried a sip and praised it with surprise.
"It's delicious!"
She handed her cup to the prince and asked with sparkling eyes.
"Would you like to try it, Your Highness?"
