"Miss Li has a good eye. I did bring the konghou here. I wanted to entertain myself when I was bored. Now that I am entertaining the princess, I should offer it to you!"
As Xie Yunrou spoke, she glanced at Qian Yao below with an embarrassed and apologetic look.
"Then let someone get it quickly. We, Miss Qian, can't wait to show off our talents!"
When Mingyue saw Xie Yunrou's downward glance, she became even more angry at Qian Yao.
She didn't like Xie Yunrou, but she couldn't really do anything to Xie Yunrou because of her mother's eldest brother's wishes.
Now this tone happens to be coming from Qian Yao.
The Xie family's maid quickly brought in the things, which were still phoenix-headed instruments.
Qian Yao looked at the people here, but no one was willing to speak for him. He had to get up and go to the middle of the tent, kneel down in front of the harp, and start to play with the strings.
The sound of the Fengshou harp is very good, and Qian Yao's skills are indeed good.
pity.
Although Taoye didn't understand the rhythm, what Miss Qian played should be a cheerful piece of music, but the cheerfulness in the music was not smooth, as if it was blocked.
About a quarter of an hour later, the song was finished. Qian Yao put down his hand on the strings and glanced at the people present uneasily.
"Continue, this princess is excited!"
"My lord, you obey!"
Qian Yao didn't dare to speak.
"You are not allowed to stop until I tell you to stop!"
"yes!"
As soon as Qian Yao put her hand on the string, she heard this sentence, her hand shook, and her face turned as white as rice paper.
Then Qian Yao played three more pieces, and half an hour passed. Ming Yue probably listened to the music, and her face looked listless and uninterested.
"Princess, I just heard from Fifth Young Master Rong's people that Miss Taoye is very good at making tea. I wonder if you are lucky enough to have a sip of it!"
Taoye sighed secretly, but finally came.
"What's the matter with blessing or not? It's just making tea!"
As expected, Ming Yue's face showed interest again, and she glanced at Tao Ye who was standing next to her.
"The skills of this slave are poor, but the princess and ladies dare not turn them down when they express their love!"
Tao Ye was not afraid of just making tea, but Qian Yao just said something to praise the fifth young master and took another look at him, which is what he looks like now.
She, the fifth young master's "favored" cousin, will only make the princess even more angry.
Kneeling in front of the tea stove, after a few smooth movements, three cups of fragrant Biluochun were brewed on the tray.
The first cup is dedicated to the bright moon above.
Tao Ye knelt on the ground, holding the tea cup in both hands, but her hands were still not free.
"Today is the most passionate time of autumn hunting. Why are you playing this sob song?"
Mingyue drank Qian Yao dissatisfiedly.
"My daughter, I know my mistake! My daughter, I will change the song again!"
Qian Yao had been playing for more than half an hour and did not dare to rest for a moment. She did not have the energy to play those cheerful and fast tunes anymore. Besides, there were only a few songs in Dongyu Konghou's music score, and she really couldn't choose any one.
Although she was extremely tired just now, she heard someone mentioning the peach leaves, and later saw the peach leaves being knelt on the ground. She felt secretly happy in her heart, thinking that someone else could bear the princess's anger, and she would be free soon.
Unexpectedly, the princess still refused to let herself go.
Mingyue saw Qian Yao's sweaty head and panic on her face. She felt better again and took the tea from Tao Ye's hand.
Taoye lowered her hands in a hurry, but before she could get up to serve tea to the other ladies, she heard Mingyue's dissatisfied voice coming from above: "This tea is cold, make another cup!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Peach Leaf responded with a calm expression, returned to the tea stove, brewed new tea, and served it to Mingyue again.
"Let me do it!"
Chuntao next to her took a step forward and hurriedly reached out to take the tea cup from Mingyue's hand.
The movement was very familiar, and Taoye knew it, but did not avoid it. He let the full cup of tea pour into his hand, turning it red.
"Princess, please forgive me, but I was not sure about it. Please bring me another cup!"
Taoye's face looked like she was holding back the pain, but she didn't dare to show a trace of grievance. She apologized and asked in an extremely polite manner. When she kowtowed, her hands were on the ground, and a bright red could be clearly seen on the backs of both hands.
"That's all, I don't want to drink anymore, so go give it to them!"
Mingyue felt much better when she saw Tao Ye's appearance. Thinking about how she had been beating her so hard today, this maid didn't dare to flatter Brother Ajiu every day, let alone say anything wrong with her.
"yes!"
Taoye responded in a low voice, enduring the sting in her hands and serving the tea to the noble lady below.
"This tea tastes good, but I feel like it's missing something? No wonder the princess wasn't interested just now!"
As soon as Taoye returned to stand behind Mingyue, she heard the lady who had just proposed to let Miss Qian play the music say in a regretful tone.
"What's missing?"
Mingyue asked casually without interest.
"The water for making tea must be ordinary spring water!"
The noble girl smiled and continued: "I heard that tea made with dew water has the most fragrant aroma. It is not comparable to ordinary spring water. The taste of tea is very frivolous!"
"Princess, I just saw that there happened to be an osmanthus tree near the foot of the mountain. If the dew on the flower is taken, it can bring out some osmanthus fragrance, and it will definitely taste unique!"
Mingyue was not interested after hearing this.
At first she had little interest in tea tasting, nor did she like these elegant things.
Secondly, she had just finished tossing two people who coveted Ajiu's brother, and she felt very at ease.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
Originally, the princess was not interested, so everyone stopped talking to the noble lady who was talking. However, the soft and hesitant voice that suddenly came to mind attracted everyone's attention.
"What do you think Miss Xie San has to say?"
Facing Xie Yunrou, Mingyue sneered habitually.
"This kind of dew can only be found at night and early in the morning. There are many wild beasts in the mountains. How can Miss Taoye, a delicate woman, go there? Don't say that we people can't bear it, even Young Master Rong won't let it go!"
Things happened by chance, but they never happened again. This time, Taoye was almost sure that Miss Xie San was really full of malice in her treatment of him, and every move she did was meant to hurt others.
To others, he still looks gentle and kind.
"If the princess likes it, I will certainly be willing to go collect the dew. Before coming here, the Fifth Young Master also told me to serve the princess attentively and not to make the princess unhappy!"
Taoye didn't wait for the bright moon to glare, and knelt down with a plop on the ground, and continued: "But as Miss Xie said, the dew needs to wait until the evening! Can I brew it for the princess tomorrow?"
"Since you have this intention, the princess will be waiting for your dew tea tomorrow!"
"Get up!"
Mingyue's anger, which had just been aroused by Xie Yunrou's few words, was mostly dissipated.
Everyone didn't take it seriously and said that this maid was someone who knew how to flatter. Only Xie Yunrou had a few cold dark gleams in her eyes. .
