The Xianghun Tower was sealed off, and Man Yao easily took away Chen Yu, and the news that Li Wang would visit Yuanyue Tea Garden in person in three days spread like wildfire. In the past few days, Tianshui Lake was very lively, and Man Yao was happy to save trouble, even promoting You don't have to do it. Just imagine, how many people want to see the real face of the prince who is most loved by the emperor, and how many noble children of the royal family want to take the opportunity to get closer to this noble and extraordinary prince, one can imagine.
Three days later, the shore of Tianshui Lake in Xicheng was crowded with people, and surrounded the Longyue tea garden. When the governor of the capital learned about this, he quickly arranged more than a hundred guards to maintain law and order, so as to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Li Wang.
The moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright, shining on the lake like a mirror. When Zongzheng Wuyou and the Ninth Prince arrived, the Yueyue Tea Garden had just opened and announced that it would only accept twenty guests a day. The crowd began to make noise, and those who attempted to make trouble were suppressed by the government. Zongzheng Wuyou stepped into the gate of Yuanyue Tea Garden amidst the sound of everyone kneeling and worshiping.
There is only one dark light hanging in the long and narrow passage, the light is dim, and the top of the passage is low. Walking in it has a strong sense of depression, as if you can't see the light.
The Ninth Prince frowned and said: "I heard that all the construction and decoration teams near the capital were used to build this tea garden. I thought it was a big deal. It turns out that it is not as good as an ordinary teahouse on the street. Dim..." He didn't speak, and his voice disappeared deep in his throat when the two of them reached the end of the passage and turned a corner. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring blankly at the strange scene in front of him.
It was a capped and spacious garden. The willows in the garden were smoky and pruned into an umbrella shape, surrounded by a tree of cherry blossoms in full bloom. There was a touch of red in the green, which was particularly eye-catching from a distance. A clear clear water canal shuttles and surrounds under the willow trees. There are exquisite translucent lotus lanterns floating on the water surface. When the breeze blows, the lotus lanterns drift with the wind, and layers of shallow water ripples.
The glazed cup hangs high in the sky, the radiance reflects the wave surface, and the water patterns are reflected, flowing on the tower-shaped roof of the silver mirror, and refracted in the whole garden at different angles. The ripples of silver light, like the Milky Way flowing backwards in the Milky Way, are indescribably beautiful, like a fairyland.
The Ninth Prince patted his palms with a folding fan, and exclaimed: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! I never thought that after such a dark passage, there will be such a wonderful scene."
Zongzheng Wuyou stopped in his tracks, and said, "This is exactly the ingenuity of the designer."
Using the narrow and dark space to precipitate the perception of the outside world, and contrasting this Yinshui Garden, can bring a stronger visual impact. Zongzheng Wuyou closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, only to feel a faint fragrance flowing into the lungs along with the air, which made people feel refreshed. He walked up the steps, stepping on the white floor tiles mixed with fine gravel, feeling at ease. Manyao greeted him personally, saluted briefly, and said, "Your Highnesses are welcome, please come inside!"
Zongzheng Wuyou nodded, and she led the two of them to sit at the glass table under the cherry tree. The Ninth Prince couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that you designed this garden yourself?"
Manyao smiled and said, "Yes, His Highness the Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince's eyes were bright, and he praised: "It's really beautiful." He was never stingy in praising beautiful people or things.
Manyao said sincerely: "Thank you, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, for your praise!" This is a design she has practiced, and she is naturally happy to be recognized and praised.
The Ninth Prince said again: "It's as beautiful as yours."
Manyao was stunned, and intuitively glanced at Zongzheng Wuyou. In front of this man who coexisted with gods and evildoers, no matter whether a man or a woman, who could be worthy of the word "beauty"? She smiled faintly, bent down slightly, and stretched out her hand to push a button under the glazed table. Only a slight click sound was heard, and a silver mirror on the top of the garden was moved aside, revealing a round hole, facing the bright moon in the sky. Average size, gradually expanding and extending down.
The moonlight was like water, pouring down instantly, covering the glazed table and the three people beside the table, giving people a very subtle feeling, as if—the moon tonight is its light.
Zongzheng Wuyou was slightly taken aback, looking at the man in white who was bathed in the moonlight in front of him, he saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his smile was shallow, and his clear pupils shone with dazzling brilliance. The silver waves in the garden are all overshadowed by this person.
The Ninth Prince clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful! No wonder it's called Yuanyue Tea Garden, and it will open until evening. It's really good! You're such a wonderful person, by the way, what's your name?"
Man Yao was about to answer, but he heard "Ah", and said again: "Let me think about it, this garden full of glass, water, moon... I will call you Liyue, Liyue... Seventh brother, what do you say? , is it suitable for him?"
Zongzheng Wuyou gave a rare smile, looking at her with radiant eyes, and said with a voice as clear and elegant as the sound of nature, "Well, Liulimu, Yuehua people, women should be like this!"
Manyao was startled, Liulimu, Yuehua, was Zongzheng Wuyou talking about her? But... what should a woman do? She raised her hand to touch her fake Adam's apple, making it very realistic, so she shouldn't be recognized, right? She smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness Li Wang was joking."
Zongzheng Wuyou pursed his lips, with a half-smile, and stopped looking at her. There is mist in the air, misty like smoke, and there is a circular high platform in the center of the garden, with gauze hanging down, swaying gently in the breeze, forming soft arcs. In the center of the gauze curtain, the woman's fingertips twirled, and a series of beautiful notes flowed, like rippling water, slowly washing away over the quiet garden.
Manyao brought an exquisite tea list, Zongzheng Wuyou looked at it twice, and said indifferently: "That's all?"
Man Yao was taken aback, and said: "Your Highness, almost all the teas that people in the world drink are here, so there is no one that His Highness likes?"
Zongzheng Wuyou raised his eyes to look at her, and said: "If you can drink it in a teahouse, why does the king need to come to your Longyue Tea Garden?"
Man Yao was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Tasting tea is not only the tea itself, but also the process of making tea, the environment of tea tasting, and the mood when drinking tea. I will let His Highness prepare the mood." , I wonder if His Highness has brought it?"
Only a natural and peaceful state of mind can taste the way of tea, Zongzheng Wuyou habitually squinted his phoenix eyes to look at her, and said slowly: "What this king wants is something that doesn't exist outside, it's unique."
Manyao thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Yes, but I am afraid that His Highness will not get used to drinking it for the first time."
Zongzheng Wuyou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Submit it."
Manyao handed over a tea list of scented tea and milk tea. The folk customs in this world are quite open. It is common for the wives and young ladies of many rich families to go out to drink tea and rest, so she wanted to try to promote it, but she did not expect to open the door It came in handy in one day.
Zongzheng Wuyou flipped through the tea list, much more carefully than before, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, then... each of these... a copy."
Manyao was stunned, there were at least dozens of teas on the list! Zongzheng Wuyou didn't have any expression on his face, but his eyes were very serious, it definitely didn't look like he was joking. But according to this way of pointing, it seems that he is not drinking tea for the sake of drinking tea, but more like looking for something.
