Cen Che deliberately looked at Bei Hui twice more.
The lady Zhuo Qiran was about to marry...even though she was a maid, her overall demeanor surpassed that of the six female officials in the Liang imperial palace. No wonder she caught Zhuo Qiran's eye.
He entered the warm cabin.
Shi Anxia was waiting, and Wen Yan invited the fifth prince of Liang to take a seat.
Bei Hui leaned over to pour tea, and under Cen Che's gaze, even her wrist did not tremble.
The boiling hot tea swirled out an amber arc in the celadon cup, and the water line stopped abruptly at the third point of the cup edge.
She gathered her wide sleeves and took two steps back, performing a standard bow. Her back was as straight as a pine or bamboo, and her skirt didn't move at all when she bent her knees, and even the pearl tassels hanging from her temples didn't sway at all.
"Thank you, sir, for the tea." Bei Hui's voice was clear and crisp, like the ice ridges under the eaves blown by the wind. "I dare to ask you on behalf of the princess, can you guess what kind of tea this is?"
Cen Che lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup.
The tea soup is as clear as glass, and the leaves are spread out like sparrow tongues at the bottom of the cup, but the aroma is faintly rusty and cold.
This is the kind of tea brick mixed with salt and blood foam that soldiers on the border often chew.
Cen Che leaned in and took a deep sniff. When he raised his eyes a moment later, he caught the fleeting curve of Bei Hui's lips. "Blood foam tea? And it's mixed with a third of Gongcheng's unique snow-top mist buds?"
Bei Hui just smiled and didn't answer.
Shi Anxia also smiled warmly and glared at Bei Hui, "Okay, Bei Hui, don't scare the guests. Change the tea to good ones."
It is clear that treating guests is like treating enemies, seven parts hot and three parts poisonous.
Bei Hui then put away the blood foam tea and bowed deeply to Cen Che, "I was just joking with you, young master. I hope you don't take it seriously."
Seven parts courtesy, three parts murderous intent. This is a show of strength! It's not a joke. Cen Che pursed his lips lightly, "It's okay, everyone around the princess is very humorous."
Shi Anxia waited until Bei Hui had changed the tea before she got straight to the point, "I heard from my uncle that Master Xie gave up ten carriages, and I am grateful. I wonder how many carriages Master Xie has left? What are they being used for? Can you give them all to me in case of emergency?"
Aren't you trying to get close to me?
What if I fulfill your wish and accomplish your goal?
Unexpectedly, Cen Che refused. He turned out to be a man with his own ideas.
He stood up and bowed deeply to the princess. "I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order. Please forgive me. My carriage is full of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded quilts, cotton-padded shoes, as well as doctors and medicinal materials. We are all going to Iron Horse City to save lives!"
The teacup on Anxia's fingertips paused slightly, and the tea in the cup rippled in a circle, "..."
I am not afraid of the enemy's cunningness, but I am afraid that the enemy will think what I think and worry about what I worry about. When that happens, I really want to kill you, but I can't do it!
For the first time since her rebirth, her smile froze on her face. "Sir... I think the same thing as you."
Shi Anxia raised her eyes to look at Cen Che, who was standing in front of her in a snow-white fox fur coat. His eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as jade, which made his earnest expression even more sincere.
Cen Che said, "The first batch has already set out, and I think they will be able to enter Iron Horse City in three days."
"Sit down and talk." Shi Anxia's eyes were gentle, even a little respectful, "Master Xie, are you planning to go to Tiema City to sell winter supplies?"
Cen Che said sternly, "My Xie family does not profit from national disasters. Although we are merchants, we also know the principle of 'helping people in need'. This time, we will distribute all the medicines and clothes to the disaster victims without charging a penny."
Shi Anxia: "......"
This!
If she didn't know that this guy was the prince of Liang, she would have believed it.
