Wanyan Chao said, "Good, then drink this cup of tea before you go. I've let it cool down to the perfect temperature, just right at eighty percent hotness."
Bright Pearl listened, took the tea, and slowly drank it.
She was the legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation and the only daughter of the current emperor, truly of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves. From a young age, she was diligently raised by her Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, hence her refined upbringing. When drinking tea, she followed the standard tea ceremony posture, even the motion of placing down the cup was gentle and enchanting, as if she was dancing.
When going downstairs, Bright Pearl walked side by side with Wanyan Chao, each step perfectly in sync. Today, she was dressed as a man; on normal days, when she walked, the earrings on her head would remain still, while the hem of her skirt would ripple like waves with her steps.
