Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

"This kid, he doesn't do his job all day long. Why haven't I heard that he can make any kind of tea?" Li Shimin murmured without confidence. However, having said that, his nose moved inadvertently. After all, the faint tea smell in the air seems to be pretty good.

Li Shimin took out a box casually. Some landscapes are simply engraved on the box, and the bottom is engraved with a few words in regular script: Tieguanyin.

In fact, the tea leaves made by Li Xin certainly have their own names, and Li Xin picked them according to the more famous teas in later generations. The green tea is called Biluochun, the oolong tea is called Tieguanyin, and the black tea is almost called Sri Lanka. Fortunately, Li Xin resisted the urge to play tricks and honestly named it Qimen.

There are always tea sets in Liangyi Hall. Li Shimin concocted it according to the law, and got a cup of clear tea. He nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Let's not talk about how it tastes, it smells okay." After finishing speaking, he was about to drink, but He Changzai said: "Hold on, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at He Changzai suspiciously.

"This old slave also feels greedy when he smells the tea, and wants to ask His Majesty for a cup of tea." He Changzai bowed and begged with a funny look.

Although he said that he was greedy, Li Shimin immediately understood what he meant.

The emperor was very careful about what he ate, and usually the cook in the imperial dining room had to taste it first, and then eat it after confirming that it was all right. However, the tea in front of him was given by Li Xin after all. If it is necessary to follow the original rules, it is not impossible to find a eunuch to try, even if it is easy to make people feel impersonal, Li Shimin may not be happy in his heart.

Therefore, He Changzai cleverly pretended to be "greedy" and offered to ask for a cup of tea, with the intention of helping Li Shimin eliminate the danger of one in ten thousand or even one in one hundred thousand.

In his opinion, no matter how good Li Xin's relationship with his own Holy Master is, it doesn't mean that he can be completely at ease. What if the people below tamper with the tea in this box? This is something that can't be sloppy at all.

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, understanding the old slave's loyalty. He didn't break He Changzai's careful thinking, but simply handed over the cup of tea in his hand and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a taste of the first cup of tea."

He Changzai took it without hesitation, and said with a smile: "The old slave will not be polite." After speaking, he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"How can the old slave taste the quality of such elegant things? It's just a taste." He Changzai said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face became crowded together, like chrysanthemums.

After a while, Li Shimin picked up another cup, poured himself a cup of tea, blew on it, and brought it to his lips to sip.

"Hmm." He subconsciously snorted out of his nose, his voice raised, and there was an unexpected satisfaction in his eyes.

He Changzai smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks this tea is okay?"

"It's light and smooth, with a long fragrance, and it's even more flavorful than tea soup." Li Shimin said slowly while nodding, "It's completely different from ordinary tea cakes." He said, took another sip, and said: " I really don't know how this stinky boy got it."

He Changzai smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a fantastic idea, but this old slave can't even guess it."
