After entering the western part of Guangdong Province, a group of robbers removed their masks and scarves. The one leading them was Yu Heng, who was standing beside Yue Wang.
The other guards, dressed as robbers, stared curiously at the linen-covered burlap sack on the carriage. Some of them couldn't resist reaching out to pinch it, and some even went up to smell it.
Yu Heng looked back and saw their actions and could not help but exclaim lightly, "Don't move, this is the ginger tea that Miss Mu had sent in. Eunuch Cheng has instructed me a thousand times to not damage it."
The others looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity. For Yu Heng to address her as' lady 'so respectfully, she definitely had an extraordinary identity. However, they had never seen how similar the prince and the young lady were to each other.
Those who could be sent to do this were the trusted aides of King Yue. Thus, they did not have much reservations when they spoke.
"Which family does this Miss Mu belongs to?"
Yu Heng swept a glance at him and the smile on his face became even more mysterious.
Even though they didn't know what kind of tea it was, but they still knew how precious it was. Even if it was just ordinary tea leaves, it would cost tens of thousands of silver taels to buy them all. Which family would be so generous?
After sending Jiang Cha back to the Residence of Yue, the curiosity in everyone's heart did not dissipate.
After returning to the residence, Yu Heng went to report, "Mistress, Miss Mu has sent someone to bring back the ginger tea."
King Yue stood up and walked to the courtyard, where he saw the guards taking down one sack after another.
Yu Heng picked up a gunny sack and stood it up, carefully opening it for Yue Yang to see.
The guards, who had been curious for a long time, stretched their necks to look around. When the sack was opened, it was still wrapped in a waterproof, moisture-proof blanket. When the blanket was removed, a fragrant scent wafted out. Everyone could not help but take a deep breath, their eyes were filled with joy. In the western part of Guangdong Province, there was not much food to eat, and just like that, they would have to deal with the harassment and looting of the Northern Frontier Tribe and the Cloud Slave.
Oil.
After travelling for an entire day, they suddenly smelled the fragrance of ginger tea. They only felt that the smell seemed to have grown claws, causing their stomachs to rumble.
Yue Yang reached out and grabbed some ginger tea, and while the light in his eyes were still cold, there seemed to be some kind of emotion flickering in them.
Eunuch Cheng had already prepared bowls. In order to help Mu Yunyao earn a reputation, he had taken quite a few bowls. Basically, he went to each of the guards in charge of escorting Jiang Cha.
"Prince, we finally managed to get this ginger tea in here. How about we have a taste of it?" He asked for advice, but without hesitation, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and placed it in the bowl.
Yue Wang lightly nodded his head, causing everyone to immediately smile.
He was somewhat anxious to see Sir Cheng scoop up a handful of ginger tea and put it directly into his mouth. He could not help but stare in pleasant surprise, "Delicious, this ginger tea is so delicious!"
He thought it would be tea, but it turned out to be a yellowish rice noodles with vegetables and diced meat. He had not expected it to be this delicious and salty.
"This was brought over by Lady Mu from afar. If I knew that you would be acting like this, I wouldn't have let you taste it!"
As soon as Eunuch Cheng finished speaking, there was a whimper.
"Don't. Eunuch Cheng, you see how filial we are to you? Let us have a taste first, isn't there a lot?"
"Eunuch Cheng, who is the Miss Mu you spoke of?" They had heard it from Yu Heng, and now that Eunuch Cheng had mentioned it again, it really made them extremely curious.
"Don't ask blindly. When it's time for you to know, you will naturally know. Alright, this ginger tea is not for eating. I have already ordered someone to bring boiling water. Everyone should go and fill the bowls to the brim."
"Alright, thank you very much, Eunuch Cheng."
Speaking of delicious food, everyone temporarily suppressed their curiosity and went to boil a bowl of water.
After the hot water had been boiled, the fragrance became even stronger. The dried ginger and green vegetables spread out and released a rich fragrance. The meat was especially delicious.
The Titan King shook his head and walked towards the carriage. After scanning the carriage, he took out the gunny sack and brought out an exquisite wooden box. On the wooden box, there was a piece of paper, written on it.
Eunuch Cheng sucked on his ginger tea as he moved closer. When he saw the handwriting on the paper, a smile flashed across his eyes."Your highness, I presume that the contents of this box were specially prepared for you by Lady Mu. Why don't you open it?"
Yue Wang glanced at the bowl in Eunuch Cheng's hands: "Uncle Cheng, they have already begun drinking the second bowl."
Eunuch Cheng turned his head and slapped the spoon in his hand over, "You brats, put down the bowl for me."Yu Heng, you're the one I'm talking about. You're not allowed to carry so much. Your bowl is only so big, and with so much tea in it, wouldn't it be a complete mess if you washed it with water?" Taking advantage of the commotion, King Yue took the wooden box back to the study room and opened the box. On top of the letter was a letter detailing the eating method, dosage and preservation method of Jiang tea, explained in great detail, but after reading it King Yue could not help but frown. He opened the oil paper, and saw that it was clearly connected to the inside.
After the different ginger tea leaves were served, his expression became slightly more relaxed.
Eunuch Cheng took the hot water and chopsticks and left with a smile without saying anything.
Yue Yang opened a bowl of ginger tea, and just by smelling the fragrance, he felt that it was much more fragrant than what Yu Heng and the rest were drinking outside. He glanced at the wooden box again and finally relaxed his mind.
In the Jiang-Nan brocade garden, Supervisor Qin stared at Yu Yi with his mouth agape: "What did you say? Say what you just said again?"
Yu Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. He took two steps back: "Manager Qin, don't be so agitated yet. Didn't you personally say that I would deliver the letter to the prince? Didn't I already give it to you?" I wanted you to personally deliver the letter to the Prince, but you didn't say that you would hand over both letters! " Chief Steward Qin really wanted to grab Yu Yi and stamp his feet twice. There was a letter inside that was addressed to an experienced person. He had hinted a lot of words that Lady Mu liked about the prince.
Your highness and Lady Mu, what if your highness were to see it? What if it backfired? Yu Yi felt that Steward Qin's gaze was looking at his sworn enemy, so he hurriedly took two steps back, "You can't blame me for this. You didn't mention who you wanted to hand over to on the envelope, so when I returned, Eunuch Cheng was still by my side asking questions. I saw that the envelope was blank, so I passed the letter to the prince.
"
"I... Who am I supposed to give it to? "
"Yes, the envelope is blank. You didn't write a word." Yu Yi firmly nodded his head.
Steward Qin was stunned for a moment before swallowing his saliva."No wonder Your Highness only said three words in his reply. So this is where the roots are!" Your highness knows that Lady Mu secretly likes him? But in reality, he was just making it up. What should he do?
