"I forgot what it smelled like." Finally, he decided to say it directly.
"Haha, you are so inattentive." Qiong Ying suddenly laughed, maybe he was not lying.
Ye Chen looked at her and was fascinated. It turned out that she could also smile. It was not a smile without any smile in her eyes, not a smile that was absent, but a bright smile.
"Try again to see if it tastes good." Qiongying gave him more tea and motioned for him to drink it.
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment. She was so strange. Has she always been like this, or was she just like this today? Or has he fallen into her trap?
"What's wrong?" Qiongying asked.
"Nothing." Ye Chen picked up the tea. He didn't dare to think about anything else this time, and tasted it carefully. It was fresh in the mouth, then slightly sweet, fragrant, and a little bitter.
"Does it taste good?" Qiongying asked.
"Generally." Ye Chen came up with such a compromise answer after being extremely confused.
He didn't think it tasted particularly good, nor did he think it tasted bad. She was probably a picky person and didn't even like the tea made by Caiyi, so she probably found it unpleasant to drink.
Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy. Would she suspect that he was not good at tea?
"I think it's very good." Qiong Ying said with a smile, and then took the tea and tasted it.
Ye Chen was stunned. Did he guess wrong? No, she said it was good before she even drank, so she must have deliberately said it was good, even if it was not good. But why did she distort the facts?
"Eat a piece of pastry and choose what you like to eat." Qiongying pushed a plate of pastries in front of him, then looked at him, as if waiting for him to eat.
Ye Chen was completely confused. Under her gaze, he had to obey her order, so he took the smallest piece, which was the size of a red date.
"Eat quickly." Qiongying urged.
"Do you have to eat it?" Ye Chen asked suddenly. In fact, he wanted to say, how can I eat when you stare at me like this?
"Don't you like eating anything?" Qiong Ying asked in confusion. If he didn't like it, she wouldn't force him.
"No." It's not a question of whether he likes it or not, and he doesn't know whether he likes it or not. As long as it's not too weird food, it doesn't matter to him.
"Then why don't you eat?" Qiongying continued to ask, is he already very full?
Ye Chen did not speak, and could only prove it with his actions. He ate the pastry as if he was taking poison. The taste was extremely light and the texture was excellent. However, he chewed the pastry without knowing the taste. It was probably the most painful food he had ever eaten.
"Is it delicious?" Qiongying looked at him curiously and asked gently.
Ye Chen almost choked, and she asked if it was good again. He didn't think it was particularly delicious, nor did he think it was unpalatable, but the food that was brought to this table must be of high quality and made by a chef. Why?
Probably not good.
"Very good." He nodded and replied.
"I think it's very ordinary." Qiongying picked up the chopsticks with boredom, picked up a piece of pastry, and ate it very slowly.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's mind was in confusion at the moment, and he felt like running away. Did he guess wrong again? Or was she deliberately distorting the facts to test him?
At this time, Caiyi came into the palace. Seeing this scene, she was so surprised that she forgot to speak.
"What's the matter?" Qiongying raised his eyes and glanced at Caiyi.
"Your Majesty, my young master invites you to go to the pavilion on the lake in the garden." Caiyi quickly lowered his head and replied.
"Well, let's go down." Qiongying said calmly.
Caiyi nodded and hurriedly exited the palace gate, still feeling shocked. She had always known that Mr. Yechen was extraordinary, but she didn't expect him to be so extraordinary.
