Chapter 411 Commitment
Although it was called etiquette, she just thought that the farmers had let them eat too much and had nothing to do.
But he was better than those old-fashioned people. He just strictly followed the rules and didn't say too much to her.
That’s why Bei Jingchu evaluated him as a young man from an aristocratic family. As for the others, they were just saints that had gone awry.
Chang Tingyi waved his hand and asked all the servants in the room to leave.
He even made a joke: "If Your Highness were a lady in the boudoir and stayed in the same room with a man, I'm afraid you would lose your reputation."
"The next step may be to marry into the Chang family."
Bei Jingchu: "..."
Can't laugh.
She just continued to cross her arms across her chest with a blank expression on her face.
Chang Tingyi shut up angrily and got to the point.
"The personal servants grew up with us and have a deep bond with us. I guess Your Highness will be reluctant to let them go."
"If we can find evidence, the matter of the musket was not leaked by Madam Changyan."
"She will be investigated for dereliction of duty, but she will not lose her life."
"Your Highness, would you like to do me a favor?"
Chang Tingyi used a long-handled spoon to add a cup of tea from the teapot and placed it in front of her.
At that time, people's popular way of drinking tea was not just tea powder, but also adding salt, onion and ginger for seasoning.
Bei Jingchu thought the taste was very strange, so she followed her example in making tea in the East Palace and just drank the tea leaves.
The palace servants also added ghee to her favorite milk tea.
As for the popular flavored mixed drinks on the market, Bei Jingchu still cannot accept them.
Seeing the chopped green onions floating in the teacup, Bei Jingchu's mouth twitched.
She picked up the teacup, returned the greeting, and drank it down with her head tilted back.
The taste of tea leaves mixed with green onion, ginger and salt is really weird!!
Bei Jingchu drank the tea and wine happily, and then... made a sound.
The smiling face of the person opposite froze.
Bei Jingchu tried her best to maintain her image without letting her true emotions show, but when she raised her head, she still had a mask of pain on her face.
Chang Tingyi realized it later: "Your Highness, you don't like to drink this?"
"nonsense."
He seemed to realize something and hurriedly defended himself, "I didn't mean to force you to drink. I didn't know you hated this."
Bei Jingchu was also confused: "Didn't your rhetoric mean that if I want your help, I have to do it?"
"No, I don't have such bad taste. Why don't you ask, Your Highness?"
Bei Jingchu would never admit that she was overthinking, and she very skillfully shifted the blame: "Who told you to look so cunning and treacherous."
"When I talk to you, I feel like every sentence I say has to go through 800 twists and turns before I can understand your meaning."
Chang Tingyi: “…”
Blame him?
Maybe this is the price of showing off.
After Bei Jingchu expressed her ugly refusal to mix tea, she added water and tea powder to an empty cup and stirred it, finally getting a drinkable drink.
Bei Jingchu always believed in giving and taking in transactions, so she asked, "What do you want from me?"
Chang Tingyi smiled and said, "I want a promise from Your Highness that I will ask for it when I need it in the future."
This deal was so good that Bei Jingchu couldn't help but look at him as if he were a fool.
Chang Tingyi seemed to understand her expression and explained in a gentle voice: "I understand that it is most cost-effective to pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time."
"Now the evidence of saving people is in my hands. Even if my request is a little difficult, Your Highness will do his best."
"But if Changyan has been rescued, and I come again to make a promise, Your Highness can go back on it at any time."
"Promises are the most illusory things in the world. You can't trust what men say."
He looked straight at me, as if to shine into my heart, and shook his head gently, "You can't believe what a woman says."
