Long Live the Empress

Chapter 192 Tea Art Competition (2)

Later, the performances of several young ladies were quite satisfactory, but the audience was not interested.

Yue Jinghong also snorted in her heart, how could such a person be compared with her?

The eleventh was Bai Xuer, the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Envoy, who was known as one of the four great talents along with Yue Jinghong. Bai Xuer was petite and cute, which was very consistent with her name. She brewed black tea, which was the favorite tea of ​​the eldest princess. Black tea was a semi-fermented tea, so special attention should be paid to the water temperature when brewing it. However, she used a black purple clay tea set.

The maid handed the tea prepared by Bai Xuer to the nobles. The eldest princess gave a wink, and the maid quickly picked up another cup and handed it to Yue Jinghao.

The old emperor took a sip and said to the eldest princess, "Who in Wei State has the most exquisite tea tasting skills? It must be my eldest sister! Please give me some comments!"

The princess turned to Yue Jinghao beside her and said, "Girl, how about this tea?"

Yue Jinghao nodded slightly and said, "Please forgive me for being so bold as to show off in front of you all. Miss Bai's tea has the fragrance of green tea and flowers, as well as the mellow taste of black tea. Add to that the purple clay tea set that has been soaked in tea for a hundred years, and it adds a lot of flavor!"

Bai Xuer looked at the prince secretly. Seeing that he was not looking at her, she followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at the woman beside the eldest princess... Bai Xuer bit her lip in jealousy and retorted, "Miss, how did you know that I was using a purple clay tea set that was soaked in tea for a hundred years?"

"Before drinking the tea, the tea fragrance is strong, but when you take a sip, it only has a light fragrance. And this purple clay tea set looks black from a distance, but it is actually because there are thick tea stains on the tea set..." Yue Jinghao said with a smile.

When the eldest princess heard this, she nodded slightly and said lovingly, "You are a clever girl!" How could she be as stupid as a pig and without any talent as the outside world said?

The prince also nodded in agreement. His imperial aunt was not an easy person to get along with, and it was not easy to make her so happy...

Bai Xuer wanted to say something else, but was gently reminded by Mrs. Bai, so she returned to her seat unwillingly.

Yue Jinghong looked at Yue Jinghao carefully, trying hard to remember who she was...

The remaining two talented ladies in Beijing, seeing Bai Xuer being praised, secretly encouraged themselves.

The fifteenth was the talented lady Hua Xiangrong from the capital. As her name suggested, although she was not as stunningly beautiful as Yue Jinghao, she was comparable to Zhu Jinghong. After she saluted the emperor, she raised her head and glanced at Ning Baihao shyly.

It seemed that Ning Baihao didn't look anywhere else, he just looked at Yue Jinghong with admiration.

Hua Xiangrong brewed green tea. The green tea, paired with the thin white porcelain tea set, and the beauty brewing the tea, was truly a feast for the eyes. Some of the gentlemen sighed: "Miss Hua is truly worthy of being one of the four great women of talent! Even brewing tea can make people indulge in it..."

The maid placed the brewed tea in front of everyone. The princess looked at Yue Jinghao again. Yue Jinghao bowed and said, "The tea brewed by Miss Hua tastes slightly bitter at first, but soon turns into a strong, mellow, mild, and peaceful taste. It is astringent, refreshing, and sweet aftertaste. When you look at this white porcelain teacup through the sunlight, you can see the light green tea. It is top quality!"

After hearing Yue Jinghao's words, everyone nodded, and Hua Xiangrong looked at the eldest princess again.

The princess also spoke up, but she said: "Although the tea is top quality, the person who brewed it has evil thoughts in his heart. What a pity..."
