Chapter 24 - Unfair
Mo Xiyan was the first one to finish brewing the tea using her own skills and extraordinary learning ability.
As she poured the tea into the teacup, a rich fragrance wafted out, causing the surrounding people to sigh in admiration.
"Oh my god, this tea is so fragrant. I really want to taste it."
"I really didn't know that Miss Mo's tea ceremony was this superb. Just by smelling the fragrance of it, I was certain that the winner today would be her."
"I don't care who's number one, I just want to have a drink."
Everyone started to discuss among the crowd, all of them praising Mo Xiyan, whose fame had overshadowed Wang Qianrou who was right behind her.
"Miss Mo, could you save a cup for me to drink the tea you made later?" She smelled the tea and couldn't help but want to try it.
As a good teaser, she only had admiration for Mo Xiyan's skills.
"Alright." Mo Xiyan liked her straightforwardness and immediately decided to make a friend out of her.
However, Mo Jingyuan, who hadn't even finished brewing the tea between the two, was on the verge of collapse.
The current her, other than unceasingly increasing her speed, had no other goals. After all, it was better to finish it earlier than to miss an hour to finish it.
The former would not have the opportunity to participate in the evaluation, while the latter could be considered as having a slim chance of survival.
Unfortunately, the more she panicked, the more her hands moved in an irregular manner. The final result was that her tea could only be considered boiling and not as steeping.
During the process of her cooking, not a single trace of the aroma of tea wafted out.
This once again garnered a lot of criticism from the crowd. Of course,'s evaluation of him was as different as the sky and the earth.
"She made tea?"
"I think it's just boiling water. After all, it doesn't even have any tea flavor."
"She did pretty well a few years ago. What's wrong with her today?"
"I think it's because the Miss Mo is here that she missed out."
"I think so too. After all, there is still a difference when it comes to the position of a direct descendant. Even if he were to be promoted to the position of a direct descendant, the imposing manner in his bones cannot be compared."
Everyone was discussing, the more they spoke, the more unpleasant the words sounded, causing Mo Jingyuan to become more and more angry.
Damned Mo Xiyan, after you go back, I must let father chase you out, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the hatred in her heart.
Mo Xiyan naturally noticed her hateful gaze, but she did not mind.
To her, Mo Jingyuan's gaze was nothing more than a clown's performance, she simply did not need to care about it.
However, since she still didn't understand the situation, shouldn't she give her a helping hand?
Thinking about it this way, Mo Xiyan summoned the palace maids and brought the tea to the Imperial Protector Princess.
Then, she stood on the small platform, bowed towards the princess, and said in a loud voice, "Please enjoy the princess' appreciation."
The best time to taste this tea wasn't when it was just made, but after a few minutes and the temperature had slightly decreased, it was the best time to taste it.
Of course, this time was controlled by the individual himself. This tea scalding destroyed a bit of the tea's fragrance, and a bit of cool would cause the tea's taste to deteriorate as well.
Mo Xiyan was very clear on this point, she spoke out when Mo Jingyuan was in a dire situation. Firstly, it was to continue provoking her, and secondly, it was obviously to get the best tea time.
Imperial Protector Princess and the others had smelled the fragrance of the tea before, and after receiving the cup of tea, they started to drink lightly, feeling extremely impatient.
What a good tea. She couldn't help but praise Mo Xiyan's excellent cooking skills.
Furthermore, this tea was actually much better than the ones she had drunk before. No, no, it was probably not worse than the one the Emperor drank before.
Where did the tiny Prime Minister direct daughter get such good tea?
At the same time as Imperial Protector Princess was tasting the tea, the way she looked at Mo Xiyan also changed.
This tea was most likely grown by her. If that was the case, she could consider becoming friends with her. As for her marriage with the crown prince, she naturally insisted that she wasn't suitable for it.
The disciples from the other families were much more reserved than those from the Imperial Protector Princess.
When they had their first sip, they had already begun praising him loudly.
"The Miss Mo's tea is the best tea I've ever had. It's really surprising for me with all three flavors."
"This tea should only be found in the heavens and rarely ever tasted in the mortal world. If it wasn't for the fact that Miss Mo's marriage has already been set in stone, I truly want to marry her for her tea ceremony."
"Let's not let this dream go to waste. I only hope that I can get the rest of the tea here, and this trip will not be in vain."
Their evaluation of him was undoubtedly extremely high, and this made Mo Jingyuan's face instantly turn cold.
She clutched her teapot, hesitating between falling and not falling.
"Princess, I concede." Just as she was shaking and swaying, Wang Qianrou's voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh, why?" Imperial Protector Princess drank another mouthful of tea before her gaze landed on her.
"Miss Mo's tea is already the best. It's best if you don't let my tea stain everyone's mouths." Wang Qianrou said, and actually poured out the tea she brewed.
Her straightforwardness was appreciated.
"There's no need for you to belittle yourself. I have also witnessed your tea ceremony in the past, and I thought that it would not be worse than Miss Mo's." Imperial Protector Princess had always had a good impression of Wang Qianrou, so she was very gentle when speaking to her.
"No, Princess is too kind. I used to think that I was pretty good too, but today, after seeing the tea ceremony of the Miss Mo, I realized that I was being arrogant."
As Wang Qianrou spoke, she winked at Mo Xiyan and smiled, "Then, what about the cup that you agreed to give me?"
Mo Xiyan was startled, and then laughed: "I prepared it for Miss Wang a long time ago."
She picked up the cup of warm tea beside her and walked to the edge of the small table. "Please."
Wang Qianrou could not wait to receive the teacup. Xiao Jiu stood up, and then let out a burst of praise, "It is indeed as wonderful as I thought it would be, the tea is not only fragrant but mellow.
As she spoke, she took another sip before continuing, "Today, the chief shall be this tea."
Her evaluation was the same as everyone else's, they all felt that Mo Xiyan's tea would definitely be number one, no one else.
"Miss Wang, you praise me too much. I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings that I need to learn. Moreover, there are still many ladies that have yet to show off. There are many outstanding talents among them, so I feel that it's hard to say who will be number one."
Mo Xiyan immediately shook her head and said modestly.
"Miss Mo is right. Since the performance of the second group is already over, let us invite the third group to the stage."
The Imperial Protector Princess had a whole new level of respect for her because of Mo Xiyan's words. She suddenly felt suspicious, wondering, could such an open-minded person be brainless enough to announce the annulment of the marriage to the whole world?
In her opinion, it must not be possible, so that meant that there was something else going on with Mo Xiyan's rejection of the marriage?
When and Wang Qianrou had finished speaking, they left together after greeting each other. She clearly felt that there was a change in the way Imperial Protector Princess looked at her.
Although she didn't know why she would change her opinion of him, it was indeed a good thing for her. After all, having a friend was much more comfortable than having an enemy.
"Why didn't you appraise my tea!"
Right at this moment, Mo Jingyuan let out a loud shout, and kneeled on the small stage with a * pa * sound, "Princess, you have always been impartial, why are you treating me so unfairly today?"
The moment she said that, the entire audience went into an uproar, the Imperial Protector Princess's face darkened, the gaze that landed on her body turned bone-chilling cold …
