Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 31 Bribery
One of the maids brought Ji Liangruo to Jingyueyuan last time. When she saw Ji Liangruo, she hurriedly stood up: "I have seen the princess, the prince is waiting for you."

The others also stood up and stood up, calling Dongyue: "Sister is right here, don't let us serve you later."

Ji Liangruo went to the back alone, looking at the scenery along the way, wondering why he walked in the wrong direction along Qinsizhu when he came here for the first time, and walked directly outside his study?

What an evil fate!

Qin Yunyao and the others were under a banyan tree directly behind the house.Ji Liangruo saw a woman in yellow and a man in white from a distance. They were the fifth princess Qin Yunwei and the fifth prince Qin Yunyang. She had seen them several times in the palace.

Qin Yunyang and Qin Yunwei are brothers and sisters, and their biological mother is Qing Taifei.After the first emperor passed away, the fifth prince deliberately took the fifth princess to live with him outside the palace.In the palace, it is really not suitable for a long princess who is not valued to grow up.

Ji Liangruo felt relieved when he saw them.Walking in front of them, before saluting, Qin Yunyang stood up first, and bowed to her: "I've seen my sister-in-law—"

He is very young, he can be said to be a kid, he should be younger than Qin Yunyao she first met back then.

"Fourth sister-in-law." Qin Yunwei is only 14 years old, just the age of innocence, smiling heartily, with starry eyes, making people envious.

"Fifth Prince, Fifth Princess." She greeted softly, while sneaking a glance at Qin Yunyao.

He guarded a set of tea sets to make tea without raising his head: "Sit down, why are you being so polite?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Yunyang suddenly smiled ambiguously.

A chill passed over Ji Liangruo's body, not knowing what charade they were playing, he walked to the empty seat beside Qin Yunyao and sat down.

Qin Yunyao brewed a cup of tea for her, and said to himself: "It doesn't mean that the tea has to be boiled slowly to get its taste, why is it no different from brewing it directly?"

She silently took the tea, lowered her head and took a sip.

Qin Yunwei said: "You have to try more. This is a new thing from Yuelan, and there is no predecessor to set an example, how can you know?"

Qin Yunyang immediately said: "I heard that there are many plants that can be used as tea in a small city in the south, and it has been renamed Mingcheng?"

"Why is it called Mingcheng again?" Qin Yunwei asked.

"That's the habit of Yuelan's side. They say it's tea casually, but they call it tea when they are serious. I don't know which god taught them."

"Mingcheng?" Ji Liangruo was also curious, she had never heard of this.

"It's in the south of Wangcheng." Qin Yunyang sighed, "The Second Emperor has occupied Wangcheng and is the king. The south of Wangcheng is almost under his control. I don't know how many years this tea will last."

Ji Liangruo's hand paused slightly, the second prince has already occupied the most central city in Wansheng - Wangcheng?
"Isn't there a merchant who bought it from Yuelan?" she said.

"The commercial road leading to Yuelan must pass through the south, and now it is completely controlled by the second brother." Qin Yunyao said, "Besides, Yuelan has already retreated and no longer communicates with any country."

"why?"

"Why?" He looked up at her.

She didn't dare to look at him, she hurriedly moved away, and said: "Retreat..."

"Then who knows." Qin Yunyao said indifferently and ruthlessly, "Yuelan is the most developed, richest, and most beautiful country in our vast continent. They have everything, all kinds of strange things, like a fairyland. Sudden retreat, so There's not much good in this continent."

If Ji Liangruo knew something about Yuelan, they themselves don't like to communicate with the outside world.But those who go to their country, they are all hospitality, retreat means that they do not allow anyone to visit...

"Yunwei has research on tea, I think you can drink tea too, let's make it together." Qin Yunyao suddenly said to Ji Liangruo.

Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunwei glanced at each other and nodded.

Qin Yunyao changed his seat and asked Qin Yunwei to sit where he was before, so that he and Liang Ruo could study the tea ceremony together.

If Ji Liangruo hadn't studied it carefully, he didn't dare to mess around, and handed over all the steps to Qin Yunwei, and he just followed suit.Qin Yunyao was sitting right behind her, and she could feel his gaze on her.I was apprehensive and didn't understand what his plan was.Last time it completely annoyed him, he couldn't let himself go.

After cooking a cup, she brought it to the table and handed it to him, while Qin Yunwei brought a cup to Qin Yunyang.

Qin Yunyang took a sip and sighed: "Good tea! It's still Yunwei who can cook it!"

Qin Yunyao took a sip: "I've also drank Yunwei's tea, this one is almost there."

The cup in his hand was cooked by Ji Liangruo according to Qin Yunwei's steps. He said that, Ji Liangruo didn't care, but Qin Yunwei and Qin Yunyang were a little embarrassed.

Qin Yunwei said: "These are all new gadgets, and there is no benchmark. How do you know who is good and who is bad?"

"That's a feeling." Qin Yunyao said, after pondering for a while, he added, "It's a refreshing feeling."

Now, Qin Yunwei didn't know what to say.She has studied tea, and knows that the best description of tea at Yuelan is "refreshing".

Qin Yunyao suddenly laughed again: "However, the tea made by the concubine herself has a special taste."

Ji Liangruo was drinking tea, his hands trembled in fright at his words, the teacup slipped off, and he knelt down along his clothes.She picked it up in a hurry, her sleeves were already wet with water, so she turned them over and wiped them off.With a jingle, the golden hairpin hidden in the sleeve fell out.

"Huh?" Qin Yunwei bent down to pick it up, looked at it carefully, and praised, "This hairpin is really unique."

"The princess has won the prize." Ji Liangruo stretched out his hand to ask for it back.

Qin Yunyao stretched out his hand before her: "Show me."

Qin Yunwei was stunned for a moment, thinking what he would do with a woman's hairpin, but she was also afraid of the fourth brother in her heart, so she handed the hairpin into his hands.

He held it and turned it left and right for a long time before he said to Ji Liangruo: "Such a beautiful hairpin, why don't you wear it on your head and put it in your sleeve?"

Ji Liangruo knew that he had seen through his thoughts, and felt a chill in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I don't know when I put it in, I forgot."

He turned sideways, propped his chin on the table with one hand, and slowly inserted the hairpin into her bun with the other hand: "Yunyang, didn't you say last time that Yizhan Pavilion has new jewelry every month? They will send it to your fourth sister-in-law to pick and choose."

Qin Yunyang didn't answer and asked instead: "The last time I asked fourth brother, didn't fourth brother say that there is no need for it? It seems that you really feel sorry for fourth sister-in-law!"

"After all, she is a princess, so she can't lose her reputation. If you have a good hairpin, you can't wait to hide it in your sleeve. How petty? Give her more and she will grow up."

Qin Yunyang and Qin Yunwei were speechless in embarrassment.

Ji Liangruo's expression remained the same, he reached out to touch the golden hairpin on his head, and smiled at Qin Yunyao, "Thank you, my lord."

He looked at her, was startled for a moment before regaining his senses, and drank the tea in the teacup.

The four of them ate at the same table that night, and Ji Liangruo felt that Qin Yunyao had no intention of killing her, as if he didn't care about what happened last time.This relieved her a lot, so that she could carry out the next step of the plan to expel him from wariness.

Washing hands and making soup is still too fast, and she is not good at cooking, and it will only be self-defeating without prior practice.Now, she can only serve him food.

He put the vegetables in his bowl, he was slightly startled, and raised his eyebrows at her.She said nothing, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, never touching the dish.

When Qin Yunwei saw it, she also took a piece for him with a smile: "Fourth brother eats vegetables."

"There is nothing to show courteousness to, adultery or robbery." Qin Yunyao said with a smile, "Are you afraid that your fifth brother will marry you indiscriminately, so you came to the fourth brother to bribe you?"
