Chapter 205 A Lustful Nature
"Master, Miss Xue has arrived."
Upon receiving the gatekeeper's report, Yueyin dared not delay for a moment and strode quickly to the study in the backyard.
"Um"
Murong Xun, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His dark eyes looked out the window and, sure enough, saw a red figure passing through the archway and heading towards the backyard. A perfect smile appeared on his lips.
"Prince"
She had gone to bed late last night and was summoned as soon as she woke up. Xue Ruanruan felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Didn't you sleep well last night?
"Your Highness has so much energy."
"Which aspect are you referring to, Miss Xue?"
Originally unintentional, Murong Xun's teasing made her realize the ambiguity of her words. Her eyes widened as she looked at him with a half-smile, her face turning bright red.
"Hahaha......"
The deep, resonant laughter was especially loud in the enclosed space. Xue Ruanruan quickly lowered her head, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
He was mocking himself.
He knew perfectly well that he had no other intentions. Sure enough, no matter how upright and aloof a man may appear on the surface, he can't escape his lustful nature.
"Your Highness, please drink more tea so you don't choke."
Xue Ruanruan gritted her teeth and "kindly" reminded him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xue."
Murong Xun indeed picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The entire study was filled with a rich aroma of tea, a familiar scent to her.
"Why has Your Highness summoned me?"
"With Miss Xue's intelligence, she should have guessed it long ago."
Murong Xun did not respond directly, but lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the exquisite teacup in front of him.
In the clear, transparent tea water, a few tender green tea leaves floated, as if they had just been picked from the branches, their color vibrant and full of life.
The emerald green color is like the tender grass that has just sprouted in spring, fresh and soft; it is also like the clear spring flowing in the mountains, clear and bright.
"Last night, I presented Your Highness with three kinds of tea to taste. I wonder which one Your Highness preferred?"
"What? Can't I like them all?"
Does this woman even know the quality of the tea she's offering? Any one of them could attract high-ranking officials and nobles to compete for it. Of course, he wants them all.
A look of joy flashed in Xue Ruanruan's eyes, and she parted her lips slightly, "Your Highness is exceptionally perceptive and has a discerning eye. I deeply admire you."
"I had no idea that Miss Xue was such a sycophantic and obsequious person."
With her long, slender fingers, she picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and looked at Xue Ruanruan with a knowing smile, completely unmoved by her words.
"What kind of person I am is not important; what is important is that I know Your Highness is a wise and dignified man, possessing both intelligence and bearing..."
"Stop, where did you learn that word? I've summoned you to discuss tea."
The man said something distasteful, but his expression showed that he was very pleased. Then he straightened up and got back to the point.
"Your Highness, please speak freely."
"The tea you gifted is indeed more fragrant than tribute tea. If sold, it would surely bring in a fortune. I wonder if Miss Xue has any ideas about cooperation?"
"Of course there is."
"Next time you deliver, Miss Xue, please send over the tea as well. The price is currently unknown, but I will grant you a 50% profit margin."
"Your Highness, what do you think of that flower tea?"
"Indeed, but it is not suitable for me to drink."
"Of course it's not suitable for Your Highness. It's specially prepared for the ladies and young women of noble families. There's no such thing on the market right now. If you seize the opportunity, you can earn just as much as green tea."
