"For whom is the third teacup for?" Li Xueyue asked.
Lady Ge Beining brightened her smile. She briefly glanced at the maidservant that accompanied the Crown Princess.
"I prepared a cup for your maidservant to test the tea out, Princess. Before the Empress eats or drinks anything, she has her most loyal servant try out the food. I'd assume the same applied for the Crown Princess."
Li Xueyue slowly nodded her head. It seemed Lady Ge Beining was prepared. She glanced down at the silver spoon, as shiny as ever indicating the absence of any poison. Silver turned black from poison.
Suddenly, Lady Ge Beining sniffed the air, her eyes widening with delight. "Oh, I closed the lid, but the scent is so strong and sweet, it still came out!"
Lady Ge Beining calmly stood up and poured the tea from the large teapot into a smaller tea pitcher that was light and could be held with one hand.
