20, cloud

After a pause, I sorted out my thoughts and continued, "At the beginning, I was also shocked. The tea actually had smoke rising, and it would automatically fall back into the pot. After careful observation, I found that the smoke should be a thin fluff rolled in the middle of the tea. When boiling water is injected into the tea, the outer layer of the tea is scalded at high temperature, so that the fluff inside is sprayed out. After the fluff spewed out of the teapot, it encountered steam rising in boiling water. The steam happened to hold the fluff that was about to fall back, so it formed a spectacle of smoke condensing in mid-air. After all, this fluff is a part of the tea, and it will also melt in water. When the fluff absorbs enough water in the water vapor, the weight will exceed the water vapor, and the water vapor can no longer hold it, and then it will fall back into the pot. Your Highness, I don't know if what I said is wrong?

Cheng Yuanjia nodded and said, "Although it's not, it's not far. That's basically the truth."

The seventh prince continued: "The fluff of tea is not actually soluble in water. When the temperature of the tea drops slightly, the fluff combines water vapor and rises out of the water. At this time, the fluff does not float too high because it is too heavy, and it looks like floating on the water. When the light passes through the water mist, it is reflected seven colors like a rainbow, reflected on the bottom of the white cup.

Cheng Yuanjia smiled and said, "The rainbow at the bottom of this cup will be more beautiful in the sun. It's night now, so I can barely see the seven colors. But this rainbow is a surprise. I didn't want to get this out.

"Then came the fragrance of this tea. To be honest, I drank a lot of tea here in Junjun, but there has never been a kind of tea that can have such a unique fragrance, more than ten feet away. It seems that the fragrance is around me. After drinking it, the fragrance emanates from the pores all over my body. Such a strange fragrance is really unheard of. . The taste of the last tea, compared with the color and fragrance of the tea, I think it is slightly inferior. Although it is also clear and boneless, it lacks stamina and looks a little superficial.

Cheng Yuanjia stroked his palm and praised, "The seventh prince is worthy of being my confidant. With just a cup of tea, he has explored the mystery of this tea and said his shortcomings. Yes, the only disadvantage of this tea is that the tea is too sweet and lacks sweetness. Regarding this defect, I haven't come up with a proper solution. When it is improved again, I will definitely ask the seventh prince to comment on it again.

As for the last rough man, no one consulted him.

The seventh prince and Cheng Yuanjia usually talk about tea tasting in the Qianwang Palace. In addition to the Qianwang who has participated in it two or three times, others have listened to his comments on Cheng Yuanjia's tea ceremony for the first time, especially the emperor. He never knew that his son still had this skill. He couldn't help but be impressed by this son who has never attracted his attention. Look at each other.

"Hao'er, do you always talk about Qinrou Junjun's tea art like this?" The emperor looked at the seventh prince meditatingly.

"My father, although I don't know how to make tea and cook tea, I have a lot of experience in tasting. Qinrou Junjun's tea art is unparalleled in the world. I am lucky to be invited to evaluate it, and I should do my best." The seventh prince knelt down to the emperor and said respectfully.

"With just a cup of tea, you can observe and think diligently, which shows your ability." The emperor sighed, "With such a miraculous tea, you can find the key in a short moment and answer it. Even I have to admire your insight. It seems that I have been ignoring you all the time. I have always known that you are the only one among the princes who can be praised by the teacher and the leader, but I always feel that you are still young. Even if you are a little talented, it is also because there are no outstanding characters among the princes and companions of your age. It seems to be my misunderstanding. Fortunately, it's not too late to find out that I won't bury you.

When the seventh prince heard the words, he kowtowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "My father's words are serious. My son's diligent study is just to abide by his duty, and he doesn't want to be ashamed of his father's reputation because of his slackness. Therefore, I never thought of paying attention to my father. I just asked my father to think of a son like me in his spare time, and I was already satisfied.

The emperor stared at the seventh prince, and his eyes were full of meditation. Although the emperor owes something, it does not mean that he is a stupid king. On the contrary, he is a good emperor who strives to govern diligently. Under his rule, the State of Wei is prosperous all over the world. It was precisely because he had the ability to govern the country that Prince Qian supported him to inherit the throne. Otherwise, with the ability of Prince Qian, how could he choose a mediocre emperor to assist him.

The prince can't stand on the stage, let alone be an emperor. The emperor knows this very well, but at present, the prince can still play a role in stabilizing the heart of the queen's family. Before the fall of the Xiang family, he can't touch him for the time being. After the prince came down, who would inherit the throne? This question also troubled him. The best candidate in his heart was the King of Qi, but the King of Qi lacked interest in the throne. As for the seventh prince, he has never cared about the prince born to the man of the harem. In his opinion, the prince who can inherit the throne must at least be born to the noble concubine. At this moment, he has to carefully consider his son's ability to have such observation, which is the ability that a superior should have, even the king of Qi is not as good as him.

The King of Qi came to Prince Qian's ear and said, "It seems that my father has noticed the talent of the seventh brother."

Prince Qian nodded slightly and said, "This is exactly what we want to see."

Cheng Yuanjia put the empty teapot on the table again, got up and saluted the empress dowager and said, "Empress dowager, your Majesty, you have already drunk this tea. Please correct the name of my tea. This is what you promised me."

The Empress Dowager slowly rotated the palm of the teacup, appreciated the looming rainbow in the cup, and said, "Please ask the emperor to name it. I'm not good at this."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "When this tea is bleed, the water vapor is like clouds, and neon appears in the cup, which is called neon cloud tea. What do you think?"

The Empress Dowager put down the teacup and smiled and said, "Although it lacks elegance, it is appropriate."

"Thank you, emperor, for your name." Cheng Yuanjia saluted the emperor and turned around and ordered the maid to collect the tea set.

The king of Qi smiled and handed the teacup to the maid who came to clean up the tea set and said to his father, "Father, we have also drunk this tea. Today, Qinrou Junjun was frightened, and we will no longer disturb her to rest, so we will leave."

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, you did a good job today. After returning to the palace, you will go to the warehouse to choose a sword, and I will reward you. You all go back to rest and continue hunting tomorrow.

"Yes!" The king of Qi and others were about to retreat after saluteing. Cheng Yuanjia, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

All eyes fell on her again.

Cheng Yuanjia, like a proud little rooster, stared at the seventh prince and said, "Seventh prince, at least you have drunk my tea for two years. Have I ever charged you for tea?"

"This..." The seventh prince was stunned and said, "Does Qinrou Jun want to charge? But let's say it first. Don't be too expensive.

"Ha ha." Cheng Yuanjia laughed happily and said, "Do you think my tea can be bought with money? Don't worry, I won't let you pay, but the effort is inevitable. Since you have drunk my tea for two years, you can send me water for two years. You found the spring water today. From tomorrow on, take three pots of spring water under five feet of this spring at sunrise every day and send it to me within two hours. Even if you arrive in the capital, you must send it to me within three hours. Can you do it?

The seventh prince was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He was not sealed, and because his biological mother was not a nobleman and had no power, he did not have any subordinates at all. Cheng Yuanjia's request was actually difficult for him to do.

"Why is it so difficult? I agreed for the seventh brother." Of course, the king of Qi on one side was very clear about the situation of the seventh prince, and immediately agreed: "Isn't it just to send water? You can drink such good tea, let alone send water for two years, even if it is worth it for a lifetime. But seventh brother, I can help you send it in the past two years. When you have the ability, you have to send the rest of the years by yourself.

It's not far from the spring. Even ordinary horses can come and go back and forth in two hours, so it's not difficult to deliver water in these days. However, Shanglin Beiyuan is still 200 miles away from the capital. If the water is to be sent to the Qianwang Mansion in the capital within three hours, it must be transmitted at an urgent speed of 800 miles, and the horse needs to be changed on the way. For this kind of private matter, you can't use official resources, that is to say, you can't use the horses and manpower of the official post station, and you must solve the matter of changing horses halfway by yourself. This is too difficult for the seven princes who is alone. The king of Qi, who loves his brother, is about to get things over.

"Let's go, seventh brother, tell me how to get water so that I can arrange manpower." After the king of Qi saluted the emperor and the empress dowager, he took his younger brother out happily, and Zhou Huan quickly followed.

Cheng Yuanjia and other maids put away all the tea sets and saluted the empress dowager and the emperor.

The Empress Dowager came forward and took Cheng Yuanjia's hand, comforted him, and left the main hall together.

The emperor looked at Prince Qian standing beside him and said, "Uncle has something to say to me. Let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Follow the decree." Prince Qian nodded and went out first.

This night, King Qian and the emperor talked to each other in the middle of the night in the garden, and did not go back to their rooms until they were more exposed.
