The day has arrived for Prince Tian and Xinyi's date. Prince Tian was already waiting for Xinyi outside the manor with the whole entourage. Xinyi makes his way to the entrance of the manor.

"Duibuqi to keep you waiting, your highness," Xinyi said while Prince Tian took his hand to guide and help him embark on the carriage. The Prince could no longer contain himself from pressing gently the smooth and soufflé hand of Xinyi.

"You've got a smooth and soufflé hand my consort that is a compliment because it's true." Prince Tian said.

"Xei xei ni, Dianxia. Where are we going on our date?" Xinyi said.

"Will be going to the royal palace for about five days to we can spend time knowing each other. I have already arranged for everything." Prince Tian said.

"I don't have clothes with me to change. I don't even have a servant to help me out. I thought that we will just stroll around or sightseeing. I didn't think that we're going on a date somewhere far from here." Xinyi said.

"You don't have to worry about my consort. In our summer palace, we've got a lot of servants and I already assigned a servant for you. Regarding your clothes, it's already prepared in the palace you choose what pleases you to wear out of your cabinet." Prince Tian said.

"It can't be helped then but I did not ask permission to my father and mother about taking some time off with you for five days." Xinyi said.

"I've got it all covered in advance so do not worry at all. I got permission from your parents to take you out on a date for five days in our royal summer palace." Prince Tian said.

"I see. Xei xei ni Prince Tian." Xinyi said covering half of his face blushing.

The summer palace was not far to travel so they arrived in the afternoon in time for tea. The maidservant Suyin serve the tea at the summer palace hall.

"Welcome, Dianxia and Consort Xinyi to the summer palace. Your tea is served, Dianxia and Consort Xinyi." Suyin said.

"Xei xei ni, Suyin."Both said it at the same time and they were giggling who would have thought that they would reply at the same time at the same exact moment.

"I'll take my leave, your highness, and Consort Xinyi if you don't have anything you want from me." Suyin said.

"Just stay outside the hall. We may have wanted something after our afternoon tea." Prince Tian said.

"Shi." Suyin said.

"Have some tea, my consort." He took a small cup and gives it to Xinyi.

"Xei xei, Prince Tian. You don't have to do that I can certainly manage to take that cup of tea on my own."Xinyi said and they took time to drink the tea that they were served by Suyin.
