There is a scenic spot in Xicheng, Kyoto called Quanchi. The spring pool covers an area of only ten acres, but has dozens of springs. Some literati wrote poems praising it: "The spring water rises like a pearl." The spring water in the spring pool is endless all year round. It can be said that "the spring water is tinkling and the water color is beautiful in Kyoto". It is a good place to visit in Kyoto.
Xiao Yi went earlier, and when Shen Zhuo arrived, he was sitting in a pavilion making tea.
Xiao Yi is not good at this. In his eyes, both good tea and crude tea are the same as water. They are just things to soothe the throat and quench thirst. There is no big difference. But Jiang Ning told him that tea is more than just water for all ladies. They have received special education since childhood and almost all like tea ceremony, which will show their nobility, elegance and taste.
So when Xiao Yi got bored of waiting, he asked Jiang Ning to find a tea set and start making tea. Not long after, through the rising water vapor, Xiao Yi saw Shen Zhuo walking towards him with his personal maid.
Shen Zhuo wore a light goose-yellow dress today. Under the midsummer sunshine, she looked like she had just taken it out in the early morning. The freshest flower buds were still covered with dew, making them particularly fresh and delicate. She never walked in a dignified and elegant way, always with a hint of impatience. As she walked, the breeze stirred her tulle skirt, fluttering like a dancing elf.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, she really deserved the most delicate color in the world.
"I have met His Highness Seventh Prince." Shen Zhuo saluted.
"sit."
Xiao Yi raised his hand and poured Shen Zhuo a cup of tea. The temperature was just right, not hot nor cold. Shen Zhuo took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Xiao Yi made a move, what about being noble and elegant as promised? He glanced at Jiang Ning who was standing aside, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but shrink back.
"Let's go." Shen Zhuo finished drinking and put the tea cup on the table and said.
Xiao Yi frowned and looked at Shen Zhuo.
"Isn't His Majesty the Seventh Prince going to visit his old friend?" Shen Zhuo continued.
Xiao Yi glanced at Shen Zhuo, and then said quietly:
"Then let's go."
The two of them walked outside the spring pool. Xiao Yi was about to mount his horse, but was stopped by Shen Zhuo.
"Your Highness Seventh, these days, you have been accompanying me back to the mansion one after another, causing a lot of gossip. Today, I would like to ask Your Highness to ride into the mansion with my daughter in a carriage to avoid being conspicuous and causing trouble again."
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Zhuo. Shen Zhuo is not short among women in Kyoto, but compared with Xiao Yi, she is still a whole lot shorter. Xiao Yi always looked down at Shen Zhuo.
Ying'er, who was standing aside, had her palms clenched with sweat, for fear that Xiao Yi would see some clues. However, Xiao Yi didn't say anything and went straight onto the carriage.
So Jiang Ning rode a horse and led a horse, following Shen's carriage.
After Shen Zhuo sat down in the carriage, he took out a set of exquisite wine sets from the hidden compartment of the table, poured a glass of wine from the jug, and handed it to Xiao Yi.
She smiled and said: "This is the mulberry wine from my hometown. It can stimulate body fluids and moisturize dryness. It is a good drink to relieve the heat in summer. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
Shen Zhuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a smile in his eyes, looking pretty and charming.
Xiao Yi glanced at the wine in the glass. The wine was light amber in color, clear and clear, and smelled of a light sweet and sour aroma. Xiao Yi's eyes darkened, he didn't speak, he just watched. Shen Zhuo suddenly felt flustered and was about to take the wine glass back when he saw Xiao Yi reaching out, taking the wine glass and drinking it all in one gulp.
"It's really sweet." Xiao Yi said lightly.
Then, the next moment, Xiao Yi tilted his body and fell on the carriage.
