It was Zhan Tianye!
He had actually come out of the palace!
Yun Shu clutched her teacup tightly. Thinking that these were spies from the assassination bureau or Li De, she suppressed the surprise in her eyes.
Qin Yiqing secretly marveled at her luck today. To encounter Zhan Tianye in a teahouse! And who was this Zhen Shizi?
Qin Yiqing's tea was forgotten as she swallowed.
If she was this excited, how much more so was Yun Shu? She immediately looked at Yun Shu, only to find her face as calm as ever.
So composed.
However, if one ignored Yun Shu's hand gripping the teacup, they would think that Zhan Tianye, who had just entered, had nothing to do with Yun Shu.
Qin Yiqing secretly stared at Zhan Tianye, trying to discern something from him.
But after a long time, she still couldn't see anything.
Zhan Tianye still had a cold, ice-like face, with no other superfluous expressions! Looking around, she still preferred her Ji Rong...
Thinking of Ji Rong, Qin Yiqing's face immediately turned cold, and she stopped her thoughts.
Zhan Tianye's arrival startled the shopkeeper.
Although the shopkeeper had never seen Zhan Tianye before, the moment he saw him, he was certain that this person was no ordinary man! He was definitely a person of high status; a mere glance from him could make one's scalp tingle.
"Guest..." the shopkeeper was about to speak.
Zhen Lin turned his head and saw Zhan Tianye. He stood up and said with some surprise, "Your Highness Prince Jin."
He hadn't expected to see His Highness Prince Jin at Yue Ran Teahouse today.
Zhan Tianye's cold eyes swept over Zhen Lin, and he nodded indifferently.
Just as he withdrew his gaze, his eyes suddenly sharpened and landed on Yun Shu.
From his angle, he could only see the woman's profile and side face, as well as her slender and tender hand holding the teacup.
The woman had only glanced at him when he entered.
Then she lowered her head.
But she had been holding the teacup and hadn't taken a sip.
An indescribable emotion welled up. Zhan Tianye wanted to grasp this emotion but didn't know where to start.
When the shopkeeper heard Zhen Shizi call the man His Highness Prince Jin, he immediately became extremely respectful. It was indeed His Highness Prince Jin! The Prince Jin who was now unparalleled in favor with the Emperor!
"Does His Highness Prince Jin want a private room on the second floor, or..." the shopkeeper asked cautiously.
Zhan Tianye's brows were cold. His gaze remained on Yun Shu, and he changed his mind about going to the private room on the second floor, saying, "The first floor."
"Ah... yes." The shopkeeper was a little surprised. Why was the first floor so lively today?
Didn't these noble guests usually prefer the second floor?
But there was no time for the shopkeeper to ponder. He quickly led His Highness Prince Jin to a seat.
Lin Qingluo hadn't paid much attention at first because she was truly savoring the delicious tea and pastries, the first she had ever tasted so good. She carefully noted the flavors, and only after realizing someone had arrived and hearing the words "His Highness Prince Jin" did she belatedly notice Zhen Lin standing up.
She looked up in confusion.
When she saw the legendary His Highness Prince Jin, she was stunned!
She felt her blood run cold.
Was that His Highness Prince Jin?
She had initially thought Zhen Lin was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but after seeing His Highness Prince Jin, she realized that perhaps no man in this world was more radiant than him!
Even Princess Ningde would pale in comparison if she stood before him.
"Qingluo," Zhen Lin called softly.
Lin Qingluo quickly came back to her senses and immediately lowered her head. Fortunately, she hadn't stared for too long and knew her place. Currently, she was no match for His Highness Prince Jin, and her only focus should be on holding onto Zhen Lin.
"I've heard of His Highness Prince Jin before, I didn't expect to see him today," Lin Qingluo quickly said, wanting to conceal her momentary失态 from Zhen Lin.
Zhen Lin didn't mind.
Anyone his sister wanted to marry must be an extraordinary man, someone every woman in the world would wish to marry. And His Highness Prince Jin was indeed capable of driving all women in the world to madness.
However, His Highness Prince Jin was also sitting on the first floor?
He looked around. Besides him and Qingluo, there were two unfamiliar women.
This Prince Jin's actions were unfathomable.
Perhaps all the officials in the court wanted to know what Prince Jin was thinking, but they probably couldn't guess.
Two guards followed Zhan Tianye. The guards, dressed in plain clothes, stood guard nearby.
The teahouse instantly became even quieter.
Qin Yiqing kept winking at Yun Shu. This was a rare opportunity! They weren't in the palace, but outside. She could take this chance to ask everything she wanted to.
Yun Shu, however, picked up her teacup and took a sip.
The tea, which was originally of high quality and worth savoring, now tasted bland.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper reacted quickly and immediately asked the musician behind the screen to play the zither. The melodious notes fell into every corner of the teahouse.
This also helped to mask any conversations that might be overheard.
"Is our luck too good today? Should you be thanking me for insisting on dragging you here for tea? Let me tell you, I had a strong premonition before I came out today that I had to take you out for a walk!" Qin Yiqing's words were filled with smugness.
She felt that if she didn't inherit her father's escort agency in the future, she could become a fortune teller, reading fortunes and faces, and still make a living.
Yun Shu responded softly, "Indeed, our luck is quite good today."
As long as she wasn't in the teahouse, outside, she could find an opportunity to speak with Zhan Tianye alone.
No...
It was a test.
Qin Yiqing was always bold. In her eyes, handsome men were all the same; it was natural to look at handsome men more. She clicked her tongue twice, "Besides you, no one can compare to him, right?"
His face was simply blessed by all of heaven's favor!
There were absolutely no flaws!
If a man looked like this, and wanted to be a decadent ruler, he could have tens of thousands of women without issue! Ruan Xi would have to stand aside. It's a pity that although Zhan Tianye was heart-stirringly handsome, his eyes were too terrifying.
An unintentional glance from him could make one's heart skip a beat and their palms sweat.
She then whispered, "He's looking at you, could it be..."
He recognized you?
Qin Yiqing swallowed the latter half of her sentence, fearing their conversation could be overheard.
Yun Shu lowered her eyes, looking at the swirling tea leaves in her cup, and said in a light tone, "Are the tea snacks delicious?"
"Ah?" Qin Yiqing just now came to her senses. She had been so focused on looking at Zhan Tianye that she had forgotten her favorite delicacies, especially since the tea snacks here were simply too delicious! xxs one
One bite and you'll be lost in its taste! Tsk tsk, too delicious.
Her attention quickly shifted back to the food. As for Zhan Tianye, she'd think about it after she finished eating.
Yun Shu pursed her lips slightly. She could feel that sharp, knife-like gaze behind her.
