Chapter 201 The Tea Was Bitter and Astringent



Chapter 201 The Tea Was Bitter and Astringent

Hearing Murong Xun's unrestrained laughter, Xue Ruanruan knew he was mocking her, and she felt both embarrassed and angry.

I don't know where she got the courage, but disregarding the difference between ruler and subject, she glared at him with what she thought was a "fierce" look.

The woman's delicate face featured arched eyebrows and slightly upturned eyes that revealed a subtle allure. Her watery eyes were tinged with anger, yet they were surprisingly endearing.

Murong Xun's breathing became slightly labored, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, like a feather caressing his heart, causing an unbearable itch.

The fingers gripping the teacup slowly tightened, the fingertips turning white from the force.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the amazement and hidden glint in his eyes, picked up the jade-white teacup, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip.

The bitter taste spreads in the mouth, hitting the taste buds directly. The best Junshan Yinzhen tea is slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste, which is not for everyone.

Hearing her master's hearty laughter, Yueyin, who was in charge of the journey, relaxed her brows.

Yan Xiao was right. Miss Xue was indeed his master's lucky star. In all the years he had followed his master, he had never seen his master laugh so heartily.

"Miss Xue, please speak freely. I would like to hear your true thoughts."

The man tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. His prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Xue Ruanruan blushed instantly and quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him anymore.

"Your Highness, this tea is both bitter and astringent, and I am not used to drinking it."

When the man mocked her like that, Xue Ruanruan lost her temper and decided to stop hiding her true feelings and tell the truth.

"Oh? What kind of tea does Miss Xue prefer? I wonder if I will have the pleasure of tasting it."

Murong Xun immediately became interested. Since she could provide so many rare and precious supplies, she could naturally also obtain top-quality tea.

I suddenly wanted to taste what the tea she had drunk tasted like.

"Your Highness is too kind. I will go and fetch it for you when we return to the manor."

Murong Xun had always given her the impression of being aloof and unapproachable, like a snow-covered mountain peak, cold and majestic, making him difficult to get close to.

Every time I see his cold and aloof expression, I can feel an invisible chill emanating from him.

This is why I was so afraid of him in my past life.

Having been reborn and spending more time with him, she found that Murong Xun was not as ruthless and cruel as she had imagined, who treated human life as worthless.

Xue Ruanruan never expected that the dignified Regent would take the initiative to ask her for tea. A sudden inspiration struck her.

How could she have missed something so good?

Tea is nothing to ordinary poor people, but it is extremely attractive to those court officials and wealthy people.

She remembered that the finest teas had sold for exorbitant prices in the capital; as long as the tea was good, there was no worry about it not fetching a good price.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Xue."

Murong Xun did not refuse; on the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Miss Xue has secrets, which he will not investigate for the time being, but the goods that come from her, whether rice, vegetables, fruits and medicines, are all of the highest quality.

Uncle Zhang was full of praise for the medicinal herbs from last time, especially the ginseng that seemed to be relatively young, which saved the patient who was thought to be beyond saving. He said that even the hundred-year-old ginseng dug up in the deep mountains and forests could not compare to the ginseng provided by Miss Xue.

To receive such praise from Uncle Zhang, the medicinal herbs must be of exceptional quality.

I never expected that she could even get tea leaves. What else could she not get?
