Within the Wutong Courtyard, dense leaves covered the tall trees. The warm sunlight shone through the leaves and onto the ground.

Under the tree, there was an exquisite small sandalwood table, and three golden silk blocks.

On the table, there was a purple tea set made from sand and it had a faint aroma of tea floating in the air. A young lady in white with a slender waist and delicate teapot in her fingers slowly poured the clear tea water into a cup.

Beside the table, the three youngsters had smiles plastered on their faces.

"Good tea, good tea, is this the dragon well before the dawn?" Xuanyuan Lian's body slanted to the side without any regard for his image. He held the cup in his hand and sniffed it before immediately recognizing that this tea was a rare good tea.

Although he had never been particular about things and had always been carefree when he did things, he was a noble descendant of the royal family and had seen all kinds of good things since he was young. Even if he wasn't proficient in the Way of Tea, a cup of good tea couldn't escape his eyes.

"Indeed, it was Longjing before the dawn. It is truly a waste of this rare and good tea to serve you." Compared to Xuanyuan Liankang, Chiselling Yao was much more elegant. Her long black hair floated in the air, and she was carelessly tied up with a band embroidered with gold. He gently took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly lit up.

This tea was indeed a rare and good tea.

Although he was the legitimate son of the Minister of the Left, he was not someone who could be reached daily.

"Yes, yes." I am a cow chewing peony, so what? No matter how good the tea is, isn't it supposed to quench my thirst? " With a roll of his eyes, Xuanyuan Liangliang swept a careless glance at Shift Yao. He and Mu Jingyao had grown up together. Xuanyuan Lian had long since gotten used to his venomous tongue.

Holding the cup, he drank it all in one gulp.

Xuanyuan Lian was somewhat thirsty as he wiped the corner of his mouth. He did not wait for Gu Huayan to help him pour the tea before he filled the teapot and gulped down a few cups of tea. He was finally not that thirsty anymore.

"Tsk tsk, look at you. You're the crown prince!" This time, not even Gu Xi was able to continue watching, let alone Mu Ning Yao.

Normally, they were often together, but this time around, due to what happened last time, his mother had already been holding him hostage for a few days. Today, it wasn't easy for Mu Jadeite and Xuanyuan Lian to both come over, so Mother didn't stop him from coming out. It was just that he did not expect to hear the news that he did not want to hear the most – a few days ago, Prince Lian had requested that Xuanyuan Lian be conferred with the title of Crown Prince.

Originally, he had always felt that his and Xuanyuan Lian's statuses were on par with each other. Even though he could be considered brothers with Mu Jingyao, he still felt that his statuses were inferior to his and Xuanyuan Lian's. Fortunately, Congee Yao was a very good person. She was also very experienced. Every time she was with him, she would feel as if she was bathed in the spring breeze. That's why the three of them were able to get together, but … It was just that this time, Xuan Yuan had already become the crown prince, but he …

So he was depressed.

"What happened to the crown prince?" "Is the crown prince not allowed to get thirsty?" Xuanyuan Lian had always been a carefree person, so he didn't know about the twists and turns in Gu Xi's heart. If that wasn't the case, then so be it. In any case, Mu Jiuyao had a genuine talent, so it didn't matter if it was her identity. But as a concubine, her status was completely different from his.

"The crown prince has the appearance of a crown prince. Look at you, how can you have the appearance of a crown prince? I really don't know what your father is thinking, and I'm not afraid that you'll lose the face of Prince Lian's estate."
