"  well..  admittedly,    i  dont  really  like  jasmine  tea..  "     mei  nianqing  trails  off,   finger  on  his  lip.   although  he  doesn't  leave  mount  tonglu  often,    he  still  occasionally  comes  down  to  puqi  village  to  visit  his  student.    the  discussion  of  tea  came  about,    well  whenever  he  visits,   he  always  takes  a  bag  of  jasmine  tea  leaves  to  go.     it  makes  little  sense  why  he'd  always  take  some  tea  leaves  to  go  if  he  doesn't  like  the  tea.   "   i  didn't  like  it  two  thousand  years  ago,  and  i  certainly  dont  like  it  now.   in  all  honesty..   i  like  white  peony  much  better.  "
          
          *    dropping  smth  while  i  add  notes  to  my  mnq  portrayal..   squints  real  hard.   +   finished  tgcf  so  this  is  like..   post  canon

"   sometimes.  "   he  admits,   his  tone  quiet  as  he  looks  down  at  his  tea,    mei  nianqing's  lips  drawn  into  a  thin  line.   he  sighed,   taking  strands  of  his  hair  and  running  through  them  with  his  palms.   he'd  done  this  in  xianle   too,    whenever  the  subject  was  raised  of  jun  wu,   though  at  the  time  mei  nianqing  hadn't  recognized  him.   "  there  are  days  i  don't  remember  a  lot  of  wuyong,    and  others  that  i  remember  too  much.   as  we  get  older,   we  gradually  forget  some  things  to  make  way  for  the  new.

            ㅤㅤㅤ...  i  see.  i  suppose  you  recall  those  days  fondly , then.      *   xie  lian  knew  a  lot  more  about  sacrifices  than  once  before.  although  this  particular  sacrifice  felt  a  little  mystifying , xie  lian  could  see  reason  within.  it  wasn't  as  though  the  ' higness '  mei  nianqing  referred  to  so  often  was  the  same  person , and  yet..  it  seemed  as  though  his  guoshi  would  always  be  his  guoshi.   *

"  hm...  "    mei  nianqing  considers  his  words  carefully,   mindful.   "  well..   back  in  wuyong,    it  was  a  favorite  of  his  highness  when  he  was  the  crowned  prince.     i  never  liked  it,   but..   it  seems  to  still  be  something  he  enjoys.   and  for  those  we  care  about,    sometimes  sacrifices  are  necessary.  "

/   xie lian rant!!
          
          /   do people forget that he's canonically very skilled? when he was still wandering, he would busk or perform on the streets to earn money. i can see him doing palm readings as well. he did sword swallowing as well as other very circusy tricks
          
          /   xie lian's overall character is also somewhat unsettling in my opinion. in the novels and the donghua, he uses ruoye to strangle things and he's very, very calm when asking it to do so. he's more socially aware than most people perceive him as and i think he uses this to his advantage. he can be very deceiving if he has to and i really do think he could be good at manipulation 
          
          /   SLIGHT SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION!! there are arcs where he is quite literally cursed by something even the heavens cannot undo and somehow he manages to break free of that curse by just talking to it (or more specifically, deriving it of its nutrients, fear)
          
          /   on that note, he's quite talkative when he's around a good listener (e.g. he talks to hua cheng a lot because he listens)
          
          /   although i think my depiction of xie lian isn't always the most accurate, i do consider myself a very big fan or xie lian eheheheh

/   AND!! in the extra chapters, he's seen to be more flirtatious with hua cheng
