Chapter 367: Chapter 367,
"Master Han, please!"
Teng Fei was exceedingly polite.
Yun Jinnian nodded, leading Hemei and Henuan through the snow following Teng Fei.
Chu Yu immediately came over upon seeing this, "Jinnian?"
"Brother Chu, Master Zhou invited me for tea, come join us!"
"Sure, I’ll go over to Master Zhou’s for a cup of tea as well!"
Chu Yu really didn’t feel reassured about Yun Jinnian being alone with Zhou Yunshen; there were too many wolves in sheep’s clothing these days.
Teng Fei looked at the following Chu Yu, his heart full of bitterness.
How was he going to explain to his master? He hadn’t invited Prince Rui, it was Miss Yun who did, and now that the prince wanted to come, he couldn’t refuse.
Zhou Yunshen’s tent was very large and warmly lit, seemingly quite cozy.
Yun Jinnian remembered that among Zhou Yunshen’s party, there were two burly men carrying large packages, likely the tents themselves.
The most important thing when entering the snowy mountains was to keep warm and avoid avalanches.
Chu Yu was in high spirits, which could be seen from his upturned lips and smiling brows.
The better his mood, the more worried Teng Fei was for his own master.
To Yun Jinnian, Zhou Yunshen might not harbor genuine feelings, but his interest was certain.
Strikingly beautiful, unparalleled in medical skills, composed and sensible, serene, and lovely.
Extremely learned, speaking eloquently.
Embodied with grace, even if Zhou Yunshen was the Crown Prince, he was but a mortal man; how could he not be moved.
"The two of you, please!" Teng Fei said, lifting the tent curtain.
Zhou Yunshen’s tent was very spacious, about four or five times larger than Yun Jinnian’s, and it was the largest tent in the group.
Yun Jinnian and Chu Yu entered Zhou Yunshen’s tent, and Zhou Yunshen was momentarily taken aback before standing up to greet them.
"Miss Yun. His Highness, Prince Rui!"
Since Zhou Yunshen addressed them as such, Yun Jinnian could only bow slightly, while Chu Yu hooked his lips coldly.
Zhou Yunshen’s intentions were clear to all.
Did he really think everyone was blind, unable to see his scheming towards Jinnian?
"Master Zhou!" Chu Yu called out softly, intentionally not exposing Zhou Yunshen’s status.
Zhou Yunshen inwardly sneered, but remained composed as he invited Chu Yu and Yun Jinnian to sit.
A simple bed, two chairs, a small table, and several charcoal basins, the tent was warm and toasty, contrasting sharply with the freezing world outside.
No sooner had they sat down when Teng Mu brought the tea.
"Miss Yun, His Highness, please enjoy the tea," Zhou Yunshen said warmly.
Yun Jinnian nodded, took the teacup, and tasted a sip, her eyes narrowing slightly, as if amongst the misty clouds of the snowy mountains.
Grown in the cold high cliffs of the Great Zhou Kingdom, yielding only about a pound of leaves a year. The frequent dew and early snows endured by the leaves imparted a fragrance that, when brewed, would fill the area with a misty swirl, earning it the name "Snow Mountain Mist."
The Great Zhou Kingdom truly was prosperous.
"Snow Mountain Mist, Master Zhou is too kind!" Chu Yu said, taking a sip before setting the teacup on the table.
No matter how fine the tea was, he wasn’t particularly interested.
Seeing this, Yun Jinnian also felt it inappropriate to continue drinking and set down her teacup, taking a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
It almost seemed like a duet between husband and wife.
Zhou Yunshen was so infuriated he could have spat blood, but he couldn’t lash out, so he too set his teacup down and said indifferently, "Actually, I invited Miss Yun here to check my pulse, as I’ve been feeling a bit unwell lately!"
With Zhou Yunshen saying this, Yun Jinnian couldn’t well refuse.
She looked at Chu Yu, who quickly said, "I’ll have someone bring a damp cloth for you to wipe your hands!"
"Yes!"
Yun Jinnian nodded with a smile.
Such tacit understanding only wounded Zhou Yunshen further, "I’ve already had someone prepare a damp cloth, Miss Yun, you can rest assured, it’s brand new and never used!"
Yun Jinnian nodded, her smile faint.
Chu Yu then said, "Master Zhou might have misunderstood, Jinnian needs the damp cloth to wipe her hands not because she has a mania for cleanliness but because it makes feeling the pulse more accurate!"
