"Your Highness, please accept my honor. I dare not sit down." Yin Mei nodded and stood aside.
The two of them were alone in the pavilion, one standing and the other sitting. Prince Duan quietly traced her clear and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, with a deeper smile on his face. "I think there is nothing you dare not do."
Chapter 8 (Catching Bugs)
"Miss Yin seemed quite courageous in the shop that day, but why is she so reserved now when she is alone in front of me?"
Yin Mei lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Prince Duan poured her a cup of tea and said, "I just wanted to invite you to taste tea."
For a moment, the aroma of tea filled the air and the scent of jasmine wafted through the pavilion.
Yin Mei held the cup but showed no intention of drinking. Prince Duan seemed to have guessed her thoughts, smiled, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"This is an excellent fragrant tea, you should try it."
Yin Mei couldn't refuse anymore, so she took a sip.
A rich aroma rushed into the mouth and nose, and the instant sweetness surged to the tip of the tongue, but after a sip of tea, it felt a bit greasy, and in the aftertaste, there was a hint of bitterness.
Yin Mei couldn't help but recall the tea she drank in the carriage on that snowy night.
Bitter first, sweet later.
The sweet aftertaste is intoxicating.
"How is it?" King Rui saw that she was a little dazed after taking a sip of tea, and couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you look absent-minded?"
Yin Mei came back to her senses and lowered her head to answer, "Your Highness Prince Rui's tea must be the best."
"Miss Yin, you are too kind." King Rui looked at her deeply and said, "Come and sit down. Tell me about these jewels in detail."
King Rui finally opened one of the jewelry boxes, took out a bracelet, turned it over in his hands, and looked at it carefully.
Only then did Yin Mei slowly sit down beside him.
She deliberately kept a distance from King Rui, but King Rui could still smell the aroma of the fragrant tea coming from her, as well as a faint... faint fragrance.
Prince Rui's Adam's apple moved slightly as he watched her carefully introduce the bracelet to him.
I could only hear her soft voice, "This is a plain bracelet, no carvings, the bracelet surface has been tested, there are no cracks, this bracelet is special here..."
Yin Mei pointed to a red spot on the bracelet and said, "There is a piece of red jade on this side, which means good luck."
Prince Rui stopped looking at the bracelet and looked at her with interest.
When Yin Mei heard that he didn't respond, she looked up at him, but saw that he was not looking at the bracelet, but was looking at her with burning eyes, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Prince Rui's hand holding the red jade bracelet suddenly moved, and he reached out and held Yin Mei's hand.
Yin Mei was so scared that she immediately stood up, hid aside, and stood obediently at a very far distance.
She didn't expect that King Rui would suddenly do such a thing.
King Rui seemed to find her reaction so intense amusing.
