Since the play was ordered, there was a knock on the door soon.

"Enter."

Chu Qingyao watched curiously as the door opened, and then a handsome man came over with a tray.

On the tray was a set of tea sets with landscapes, and behind it followed a little boy, also holding a tray with six jars on it. The jars were small and exquisite, with six kinds of flowers painted on them, which were very eye-catching.

"My name is Xiang Ming. I will show you the tea ceremony. What kind of tea do you like?"

Xiang Ming's voice is elegant and gentle, which is not unpleasant.

Chu Qingyao looked at everything in front of her with great interest. She thought this place was really novel and interesting. She smiled and said, "Oh? What kind of tea are there? I saw six jars on the little boy's tray. Could they be six kinds of tea?"

Xiang Ming nodded slightly and replied politely, "Exactly. These six cans of tea are black tea, green tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, dark tea and white tea."

Chu Qingyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. In Da Chu, drinking tea was not as particular as it was here. It was already very good to have tea to drink.

She smiled and said, "I want to try them all."

Chu Qingyao was in a good mood, but she saw Xiang Ming signaling the boy to put down the tea tray and ordered, "Bring the snacks."

"What do you mean? I don't think I ordered any snacks? Is this an extra charge?" Even though Chu Qingyao came from a wealthy family, she was no sucker.

I haven't even had a sip of the tea yet, are you going to spend money on it?

"Miss, you may not know that some teas are not suitable for drinking on an empty stomach."

Xiang Ming smiled and explained, then he gently picked up a jar, opened the lid, and let Chu Qingyao smell the tea.

Chu Qingyao closed her eyes, feeling the refreshing fragrance, and secretly admired it in her heart.

Then, Xiangming skillfully rinses the tea set with hot water, puts the right amount of tea leaves into the teapot, pours in hot water, covers the pot, waits for a while, and then pours the tea into the teacup. The whole process is elegant and meticulous, which is pleasing to the eye.

Xiang Ming handed Chu Qingyao a cup of brewed tea and said with a smile, "Please taste it."

Chu Qingyao took the teacup, took a sip, and felt the mellow taste.

She savoured it carefully, then put down her teacup and nodded in satisfaction.

Not long after, the little boy brought in plates of exquisite snacks.

"Please eat something first, miss."

Xiang Ming then continued to show Chu Qingyao how to brew five other types of tea, each of which had unique flavors and characteristics.

Chu Qingyao was in a particularly good mood as she savored the delicious snacks and appreciated Xiang Ming's performance.

I have to say that this Theatre of the Opera is quite interesting! There are so many details just for drinking tea. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also tastes good. It is worth the money!

After Xiang Ming finished cleaning up, he asked again, "Miss, would you like to drink?"

"Not for now. I've had some tea and snacks, and I'm feeling full. If I drink more, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold any more. Don't bother with anything. What are you going to do next?"

Chu Qingyao looked Xiang Ming up and down, and had to admit that he had no similarities with Xie Yunxiao, but that was just okay!

Xiang Ming saw that she was not interested, so he said, "Miss, are you interested in listening to music and watching dance?"

"You?"

Chu Qingyao yawned and asked casually.

"I can't handle it alone. If you are interested, I will ask my friends to come in." Xiang Ming smiled and looked at her with a smile.

"Okay! But first, tell me how much silver did you need for that performance just now, and how much silver do you need now? How much silver will each of you need later?"

Chu Qingyao sat up straight, obviously feeling a little weak.

"The performance just now is ten taels, and listening to the songs and watching the dances is twenty taels. As for each of us young ladies, there is no upper limit. If we are lucky enough to catch the young lady's eye, it is our good fortune."

Tsk tsk, my flesh hurts!

Although Chu Qingyao thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face and said, "That sounds okay. Go and get ready!"

At the same time, in the princess's mansion, Nangong Ziqiu, who was having dinner with Hua Xin, was called out by Qingfeng.

"What's the matter?"

Usually, if there is nothing important, the breeze will not disturb them at this time.

"Master..." Qingfeng whispered in Nangong Ziqiu's ear for a while. After hearing his words, Nangong Ziqiu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"really?"

"really!"

Seeing Nangong Ziqiu's expression change after he came back from going out, Hua Xin couldn't help but ask curiously, "What made you change your expression? Is there something wrong with your industry? Or is there any news from Nanxun Country?"

Nangong Ziqiu was surprised at Hua Xin's sensitivity, but thinking that everyone at the dinner table was their own family, there was nothing to hide, so he shifted his attention to Xie Yunxiao.

Xie Yunxiao, who was originally concentrating on eating, suddenly felt that the surroundings became unusually quiet. He looked up in confusion, but was frightened by the gazes of everyone.

"You, what are you all looking at me for? Did I eat too much?" Xie Yunxiao asked in confusion.

"Yun Xiao, do you know Chu Qingyao?"

"puff!"

Xie Yunxiao spat out the food in his mouth and raised his voice: "Who? Who are you talking about? How do you know this name?"

Hua Xin looked at Xie Yunxiao's face as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes, revealing a hint of curiosity and inquiry.

"Brother Yunxiao, it seems there is a story behind this!" Hua Xin said with a slight smile, her lips curled up.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xie Yunxiao felt a little uncomfortable with Hua Xin's gaze. He coughed awkwardly a few times, then explained anxiously: "Nini, listen to me, this Chu Qingyao is a crazy woman!" His tone was full of helplessness and annoyance.

Xie Yunxiao felt that he could not eat this meal, but luckily he had eaten a lot just now, and he would not really starve in the princess's mansion.

However, Hua Xin's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Crazy woman? Crazier than He Xinyue?"

Hua Xin has not forgotten the person who instigated others to assassinate her. Now she was surprised to hear Xie Yunxiao say that Chu Qingyao was even crazier.

"Listen to her name, what's her surname, and what's the surname of the country of Chu? She is the younger sister of the current emperor of Chu, and also the famous Princess Qingyao." Xie Yunxiao rubbed his temple as he spoke, as if mentioning Chu Qingyao gave him a headache.

"So? Is this your love interest out there?"

Hua Moxuan rarely spoke, but once he opened his mouth, he made Xie Yunxiao very angry.

"Brother, brother, please listen to my explanation." Xie Yunxiao knew Hua Moxuan's status in this family. If he didn't explain clearly, he might have no place to stay in this princess's mansion.
