Chapter 778 It’s really good tea!

Qiao Ran smiled and said nothing.

She didn't tell Mo Beihan about what she had done to Shui Bailian. Perhaps it was because she was used to being independent and didn't think such things needed to be told to outsiders.

Or maybe, she hasn't really considered Mo Beihan as a close person. After all, engagement is just a temporary measure, and it's hard to say whether the two of them can really be together in the future.

The two entered the main hall, where the old prince was already waiting.

Seeing Qiao Ran coming in, he immediately put down his teacup and greeted her with a smile:

"Girl, are you here? Come, come, come and try the cakes made by the royal chef! You have suffered a lot in the past, right? You are too thin, you need to eat more!"

Qiao Ran was speechless. There is a kind of thinness that makes your elders think you are thin.

In fact, when she first put it on, she was indeed thin, small and skinny, and looked a year or two younger than her actual age.

But later, with the nourishment of spiritual spring water and good food and drink, she had become a lot fatter than before.

Her figure has also become visibly fuller. Although not extremely sexy, at least she has a curvy figure with a well-proportioned body!

"Thank you, Grandpa Mo!"

Qiao Ran didn't act pretentiously. She just said thank you and walked over. She picked up the pastries on the table and started eating. The old prince liked her even more.

She is indeed a straightforward girl with a good temper, just like him!

Watching Qiao Ran eat two pieces of cake with a smile, the old prince glared at his grandson who was only concerned with eating and had no tact at all.

Then he poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Qiao Ran, speaking in a very kind tone:

"Girl, I heard that you like to drink tea too? Cakes alone are too dry, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

"Yeah, I like tea, too. Thank you, Grandpa Mo!"

Qiao Ran naturally picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea, but saw the old prince staring at her with a smile.

She looked over in confusion, and the old prince asked with a smile:

"Girl, how about this tea? I bought it from a foreign merchant at a high price. One ounce of it is worth ten ounces of silver!"

After hearing this, Qiao Ran realized that the old prince wanted her to taste the tea.

She just drank two sips because she was thirsty and didn't taste it carefully.

In her opinion, how could this ancient tea compare to the high-end tea in her own space?

But the old prince was still waiting for her answer, so she picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully before saying:

"This tea is OK. Although it is a little bitter at first, it becomes sweet after a while, leaving a refreshing tea aroma in your mouth."

The old prince was expectant, thinking that she would praise the tea as the best she had ever tasted, but he didn't expect that she would only say it was "okay".

The old prince was immediately dissatisfied and asked:

"That's it? Don't you think you can smell a rich and sweet fragrance after a while? This is the best tea I have ever tasted. The tea provided in the palace is not as delicious as this."

Qiao Ran put down the teacup and chuckled:

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Mo, I'm quite blunt, please don't be offended. I've had better-tasting teas, which are really fragrant and sweet. Your tea is a little worse than mine. I think I have two bags in my carriage, how about I go and get them for you to taste?"

The old prince had just heard her say that this tea was not as good as the ones she had tasted before, and was about to refute her when he heard her say that there was some in the carriage, so he immediately urged her:

"Okay, okay, then go get it! I really want to taste your tea. How good is it? It's even better than the foreign tea that costs me ten taels of silver per tael."

Qiao Ran smiled faintly, then immediately strode out to get tea from her carriage at the gate of the palace.

She got on the carriage, took out two cans of Longjing tea and a set of tea sets from the space, and returned to the main hall of the palace.

The old prince stared at the two strange jars she brought in with shining eyes and asked:

"Is this your good tea? What is it packed in? Why does it look weird? Did you buy it from overseas too?"

Qiao Ran nodded:

"Well, I bought this from a foreign merchant on the way to sea. It's an iron can with a layer of oil paper inside."

As she spoke, she opened the tin can, took out the packaged tea from the can, and gently tore a hole in it.

Suddenly, an unusually pleasant and refreshing tea aroma wafted out, and the old prince could not help but lean forward to smell it.

"Mmm~ What a nice smell! It really is a good tea!"

Qiao Ran smiled and did not use the teapot on the table. Instead, she put a cloth bag in her hand on the table, took out a complete set of tea sets from it and placed it on the table.
