Jiang Yao didn't think much about it, but when she lowered her head to get the teacup, her eyebrows twitched.
Haha, it’s interesting to add something to her cup in front of her.
Jiang Yao turned the teacup in his palm and brought it to his nose, pretending to smell the tea fragrance, but actually he was checking what was wiped on the cup.
Wow, it’s exactly the same as what was in the cup of tea that Zhao Ye handed her.
But Zhao Ye will also be there to taste the tea, so the poison would not have been given by him.
Jiang Yao lowered his eyes, pretending not to see the expectant gaze in the corner. He poured a cup of boiling hot tea, and the moment he picked it up, his hand slipped.
“Snap!”
The teacup broke.
In this competition, each person only had one teacup. Although it was no big deal if it was broken, they could just get another one, but because it was Jiang Yao who broke it, the people around him looked at him unfriendly.
"Go get Miss Jiang a new teacup."
Zhao Ce was very impatient.
Su Qianji waved at Langqi, and Langqi quickly retreated and came back after a while.
"Master, the teacup fragments that Jiang Yao threw away are also poisonous, just like the tea just now."
So Jiang Yao really understands poison.
Suku Chiji confirmed this and looked up again.
Jiang Yao was particularly motivated after changing to a new teacup. She used a small clip to pick up some of the tea leaves in front of her and put them into the teapot.
Zhao Ce and Zhao Ye also noticed this scene at the same time.
Zhao Ye looked strange, and secretly said to Zhao Ce: "Brother, can I not try Miss Jiang's cup of tea later?"
Zhao Ce's face didn't look much better either. He looked at Su Qianji again. The latter had a calm expression and his eyes were unfathomable.
"What do you think?"
If Su Qianji wants someone, he has to say that he can use him even if he is a waste.
After the competition, cups of tea were served to Zhao Ce and Zhao Ye one after another.
The two sisters Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing from the Jiang family, He Wan'er, the legitimate daughter of Minister He, and Xu Jing, the second daughter of Grand Tutor Xu, these four people passed the test at the beginning and almost all of them were eliminated later.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or everyone’s intention, but Jiang Yao was left as the last one.
When she came forward with her teapot, everyone around her looked at her at the same time.
"I just saw that this Second Miss Jiang doesn't know how to make tea at all."
"That's possible. Her sister is Jiang Shu. Everyone in Jincheng knows the relationship between Jiang Shu and the Crown Prince."
"Jiang Shu is really generous. She is on good terms with the Crown Prince and even brought her sister with her. Is she planning to marry her sister off with her in the future?"
The noise of these discussions was neither loud nor soft, and every word was clearly heard by Jiang Yao and Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was so angry that her fingers were trembling slightly while holding the handkerchief. She tried to maintain her composure on her face, and looked at Jiang Yao with uncontrollable hatred in her eyes.
Being stared at was a very uncomfortable feeling, and Jiang Yao's heart was trembling.
——It’s terrible. Women who are irrationally jealous are the most terrible.
Su Qianji looked up quietly, and their eyes met unexpectedly, and the voice in his heart came again.
——Not only jealous women are scary, jealous men are scary too. Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao, you said you wanted to seduce Zhao Ce but failed, and you not only offended his future wife Jiang Shu, but also his beloved little husband. No wonder people poisoned you twice at this banquet.
Lang Qi lowered his eyes and watched helplessly as the wheelchair he had just replaced was on the verge of breaking apart again.
Zhao Ce's face was very dark. He looked at the tea in Jiang Yao's hand and it took him a long time before he reached out to take it.
He touched it lightly to his lips, then said expressionlessly: "Yes."
Zhao Ye's eyes lit up. It seemed that it was not impossible to eat.
He walked to Jiang Yao's side and smiled at her brightly: "Second Miss Jiang's tea looks different."
After taking a big gulp, Zhao Ye's face turned dark instantly. He looked at Zhao Ce sadly, but the latter curled his lips and ignored him.
Are you kidding? He knew it tasted bad but still drank it. He is not a fool. He just touched the teacup with his lips.
"Seventh Prince, isn't it delicious?"
The girl's soft voice was filled with uncertainty, and her clear black and white almond-shaped eyes contained only innocence and expectation.
Zhao Ye was a man who was kind to women. Seeing Jiang Yao's expression, he forced himself to swallow the tea while suppressing the bitterness in his mouth.
"No, no, it's delicious."
——Seeing you drinking makes me want to vomit, but you can actually swallow it. You can tell at a glance that you are a young man who will achieve great things in the future.
Jiang Yao looked calm and composed, muttering to herself, I guess she won't be allowed to pass this time.
The third cup of tea was about to be served to Su Chiji.
Jiang Yao was a little hesitant, but she couldn't hide now, so she gritted her teeth and walked forward.
The man lowered his brows and didn't look at her.
"Mr. Su, please have some tea."
——It’s okay if you don’t drink, just let me be eliminated.
The corners of the man's lips curled up slightly. Want to be eliminated? He refused to let her have her wish.
The bony hand slowly reached out towards the teacup, and the narrow eyes stared at the girl with exaggerated makeup.
"I've always been particular about my tea."
Jiang Yao's eyes were confused. He just drank it. Why would he say anything to her?
“I never drink anything that doesn’t taste good.”
Jiang Yao still didn't understand.
Lang Qi suddenly said from behind: "Last time, a blind palace maid put the tea leaves in the wrong place, ruining my young master's fun. Later..."
He paused, looked up at Jiang Yao, and whispered the last sentence: "The hand is gone."
Jiang Yao's arms trembled and felt a dull pain in her arms, as if her arms were about to fall off.
——Woo woo, don’t scare me like that. I didn’t ask you to drink it, so you don’t have to.
The man seemed unaware of her embarrassment. His eyes were dim as he slowly raised the teacup in his hand to his mouth.
"Mr. Su, you can't do that."
Jiang Shu suddenly rushed up with a cup of tea in her hand.
He came forward and scolded Jiang Yao harshly: "How could you make such a terrible tea for Master Su? Is this what Grandpa always taught you?"
The scolded girl suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and looked obedient: "Big sister scolded me, I know I was wrong, I will pour out all the tea now."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he reached out to take the teacup from Su Qianji's hand.
There was a small teacup, on one side were Su Qianji's slender fingers, and on the other side were Jiang Yao's slender fingers. Both of them held one side of the teacup, and no one let go.
"Master Su, this tea doesn't taste good. You'd better not drink it."
——Why are you still holding it? Give it back to me.
The man's eyes darkened, but he didn't let go of his hand and raised his chin to look at Jiang Shu.
That look was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"Is the tea good or not? When is it your turn to be nosy?"
Jiang Shu's whole body stiffened. It was summer, but she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the coldness gradually spread throughout her body.
Su Qianji's eyes were light and vague, but the courage in them made people dare not look directly at him, and his aura was terribly depressing.
Everyone around was sweating profusely and didn't dare to breathe.
But only Jiang Yao was still determined to get the teacup back.
