The princess must not want others to know that she is out playing this time, otherwise she would not be wearing a veil and taking medicine to change her voice.
"Why are you here too?" Jiang Yuyan asked with a smile.
"I just happened to receive a jade token from Prince Guangcheng, so I came to see them. These two are my good friends." Yu Rou smiled faintly.
When Yu Rou said this, everyone was surprised, but no one doubted whether it was her or not.
Instead, He Yulian pulled Yan Wanyun over and said with a cold smile, "Today is the most powerful tea-tea competition in the capital. Do you understand? You just come here to join in the fun."
Yu Rou didn't want to pay attention to her, so she just treated her words as nonsense and turned a deaf ear to them.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, He Yulian became even more angry and said, "Tea competition is not only about the tea, but also about the cooking skills. You don't know anything. You are really wasting the quota and taking up space. Prince Guangcheng is just attracted by your appearance. You are already engaged, and you still accept the invitation. How shameless."
He Yulian's words were so excessive that Princess He Ning couldn't stand it anymore. She and He Yulian were cousins, but she had disliked He Yulian since she was a child. Now Yu Rou was brought by her, but He Yulian said this to her. She couldn't help but feel insulted by He Yulian, and her face became ugly under the veil.
She was about to open her mouth to scold He Yulian, but Yu Rou held her back, shook her head, and said, "Madam He, you're joking. Although I'm not an expert in tea art, I do understand it. Besides, Prince Guangcheng personally sent me an invitation, asking me to come and watch. How could I not come? Unlike Madam He, you didn't have an invitation. I'm afraid you came with your brother's jade token. I heard that you, Madam He, don't seem to be very proficient in tea ceremony either."
He Yulian was indeed not very good at tea ceremony, and she had snatched the jade token from her brother, so Yu Rou was right.
She was furious and about to lose her temper when Yan Wanyun tugged at her sleeve, "Yu Lian, be low-key. We are all great scholars here. We shouldn't bother with her."
As soon as Yan Wanyun said this, Princess Hening and Princess Jingning looked at her with disdain.
Yan Wanyun naturally couldn't see the looks from the two princesses, so she pulled He Yulian and said, "Let's go in, it should be starting soon."
He Yulian glared at Yu Rou and Princess Hening again, then followed Yan Wanyun.
The princess said excitedly, "Let's go in too."
Jiang Yuyan thought about it and walked with Yu Rou.
Yu Rou asked, "Sister Yan, do you know who will be participating in today's tea-tea competition?"
Jiang Yuyan said softly, "There aren't many people participating in this tea competition, but they are all famous tea masters in the capital. I've heard that it seems that Lay Buddhist Zilian, Lay Buddhist Chunxi, and Master Puji are all here."
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the two princesses.
The people we invited this year are all very talented.
Jiang Yuyan's pretty face showed joy. She said softly, "Come to think of it, I haven't met Master Puji yet. Also, I heard that Ms. Chunxi is a woman who is as capable as any man. Not only is she quite accomplished in poetry, but she is also very proficient in the tea ceremony. I have wanted to meet her for a long time, and I didn't expect to get my wish today."
Princess He Ning suppressed her excitement and said, "Let's go quickly, it's almost time to start."
The place for the tea-drinking competition is in the courtyard behind the teahouse. Enter through the corner door of the teahouse, where a servant is waiting to lead the way.
When he saw people coming, he hurriedly bowed to everyone, then led the way with his head lowered.
After walking through the winding path, I saw a rosewood carved screen with crabapple embroidery. After passing the screen, I saw a staircase of medium height with scattered small flowers planted on the edge. Next to it was a low red wall, and on the other side of the wall I could see ancient pines with vicissitudes of life. Soon I saw a bamboo house with a plaque hanging on the door with three big characters written on it: "Jiaozhai".
The name of a study room or studio often becomes a nickname for the owner of the study room. I think the two words "Jiaao" are also a nickname for the owner of this teahouse.
When everyone entered, they saw that the place was already full of people.
A deep, deep voice was heard. "Today's tea competition is honored to have Prince Duan, Minister Jia, Duke Wen, and Master Puji as judges. The rules of the competition are that the first round is for multiple players to compete, the second round is for two players to fight against each other, and two out of three will win. The first round is only about the quality of the tea, but the second round will not only involve the quality of the tea, but also the tea-making process, and also tea-themed performances. Finally, three winners will be selected."
Yu Rou's expression brightened. Even the judges made such a big fuss. It must be said that Prince Guangcheng was really prestigious.
"Those who want to participate in the tea competition can sign up now."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people came forward to register.
Yu Rou was also pulled forward by Princess He Ning to sign up. Princess He Ning didn't know how good Yu Rou was at tea making, she just wanted to help her vent her anger and thought that she would try her best to help her later.
After a while, a young servant in blue came forward with a booklet and announced the list of people who would officially participate in the tea-fighting competition.
Who knew that Yan Wanyun, He Yulian, the Fifth Prince, Chunxi Jushi... and so on were all on the list.
There are also several anonymous people who do not want to reveal their identities. They are mysterious and very curious.
