The tea taster meets a cup of good tea, just as the wandering chivalrous hero meets a peerless sword, infatuated and enchanted.
"Xiao Yang, this prince has never sought advice from others. Today, you must tell this prince exactly what you used to brew this cup of tea. No matter how I drink it, this prince feels like a different person from the tea you drink in the past."
Duan Changge traveled the martial arts world, went to many places that produced tea leaves. He had also picked the tea leaves with the tea farmers before, he had seen how the tea leaves were baked, he had also seen the local tea farmers make tea using their own methods, but it was so different from today's cup that it made people curious.
Just then, Duan Yunfei also raised his teacup to taste it, and nodded. The tea this time was indeed different from the previous times, but Duan Yunfei could feel that the method to make the tea should be the same as what she had taught Xiao Yang.
"Xiao Yang, don't try to hide it anymore, just tell the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince has always been curious, so if this continues, he might get depressed."
Xiao Yang covered his mouth and laughed, "Reporting to the princess, to the Tenth Prince, the tea for today is indeed brewed according to the way you used to teach your servant."
"Then why does the taste look different? Xiao Yang, don't fool this prince, this prince has also tasted the tea that you've brewed before."
Without waiting for Xiao Yang to finish speaking, Duan Changge threw out the next question, leaving him speechless.
"The method is the same as the method, Tenth Prince. However, the water is different today."
"Water?" Duan Changge was puzzled, he had heard of Duan Yunfei's method of brewing tea, but the most outstanding point was that ordinary well water would be replaced with fresh dew that he had collected early in the morning. But other than the well water and the dew, Duan Changge could not think of any other water that could be used to brew the tea.
However, Duan Yunfei understood. A few days ago, Xiao Yang informed Duan Yunfei that after Duan Yunfei was scalded with the tea, he had melted the snow into the tea and allowed the tea to cool down.
However, at that time Duan Yunfei was drinking anxiously and did not taste it carefully.
Duan Changge thought for some reason, and his gaze somehow landed on the footprints left behind by the palace maids at the entrance. Because he had previously walked in the snow, his footprints were mixed with snow. The warmth brought by the brazier in the house melted the snow, leaving behind a small puddle of water.
"You used water melted by snow, didn't you?" Duan Changge said as if he was determined to win.
"The Tenth Prince is really smart."
Duan Changge had actually thought about this question for a good while, but Xiao Yang's answer definitely made Duan Changge a little proud. Duan Changge even thought in his heart that after he returned, he must personally boil a pot of tea with snow water.
Duan Yunfei felt that if sshe allowed Duan Changge to continue tangling with this cup of tea, he would not be able to obtain the good news that Duan Changge was talking about today.
"Tenth royal brother, we're almost done with the tea. Shouldn't we get down to business?"
Duan Changge had always been a strict conduct, but when it came to things that piqued his interest, he would easily be distracted, and unknowingly, would indulge in them and throw his original goal out of his mind.
"If Yun Fei hadn't reminded royal brother, he would have forgotten about this."
It was precisely because Duan Yunfei understood Duan Changge that she would remind him at this time. Otherwise, who knows when Duan Changge would start discussing about this cup of tea.
"Princess, this servant will be leaving first." Xiao Yang knew that Duan Yunfei and Duan Changge were preparing to get down to business, so he prepared to leave.
Normally, Duan Yunfei would have allowed Xiao Yang to stay at the side, but today, Duan Yunfei had silently allowed Xiao Yang to avoid all of that. This was not because Xiao Yang should not have heard what they were talking about, but because Duan Yunfei felt that if Xiao Yang was present, she would involuntarily want to ask about the method to brewing tea. If this continued, by the time the sun sets, Duan Yunfei would not know the true purpose of entering the palace today.
"Please speak, royal brother."
If it was someone else who tried to interrupt Duan Changge's questioning about his obsession, Duan Changge would probably turn hostile towards him. But because it was Duan Yunfei, he could only bear with it.
"You … Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you allow your royal brother to finish his question?" That's right, Xiao Yang is really a wonderful girl. I knew that you would not be willing to part with her, or else royal brother would really want to ask you for her. "
Let alone Duan Yunfei, even if Duan Yunfei was willing, Wu Shan would not let this happen. Even if it was for the sake of Wu Shan's lifelong happiness, Duan Yunfei had decided that it would not be as Duan Changge wished.
Xiao Yang has been by my side for many years, and already has a relationship that surpasses that of a master and his servant's. If Yun Fei wanted to ask his royal brother for the treasured ancient book, his royal brother would have to think about it many times. If a dead thing is like this, then what about someone with feelings? "
Duan Changge never thought that his joke would actually make Duan Yunfei believe it, and the atmosphere immediately became serious, to the point that Duan Changge was not used to it.
"Alright, royal brother is only joking. Royal brother knows that you have always valued kindness, forget about Xiao Yang, even if it was any of the palace maids in Red Luan Palace, you would probably be reluctant to part with them."
"It's good that royal brother knows." Duan Yunfei smiled, to her, everyone in Red Luan Palace was her family, a family that she could not part with.
"Alright, time to get down to business." Duan Changge cleared his throat and became serious.
Didn't you mention the power of the Fifth Emperor in the imperial court? You know that I don't care about the struggles of the court anymore, but there are still people in the court who are my brothers. "
Duan Yunfei listened seriously, she did not continue, she only nodded.
"After discussing with you that day, when royal brother went back, he sent people to investigate. They discovered that there were a lot of corrupt officials under Fifth Emperor, so naturally, Fifth Emperor turned a blind eye. However, the current situation is different. A few days ago, Royal Father took this matter very seriously. A few days ago, a local official came to the capital to report on this matter.
Duan Yunfei looked at Duan Changge's pleased expression and asked, "What did royal brother do?"
"Royal brother, I, had my men set a trap for the Fifth Emperor's men and let them expose my secret. You know that Royal Father cannot allow officials to embezzle, so he ended up in jail. There was a vacancy in that position, and then naturally it was replaced by my royal brother. "
"Royal brother's technique is really high. Yunfei is truly impressed."
