Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 13 Treating guests with bitter tea
Emperor Chongwen straightened his expression, his tone was rather helpless, and he said: "It's not like you don't know. The most noble people in Daliang are not only my Ming family. The Jianyu family in Heaven holds the luck of Daliang in their hands, and can detect disputes and wars. Entering the world with destiny... If I am the true dragon emperor, then the Yu family is the one who seeks the dragon. They can do what I can't control, and they can predict what I don't know."

Emperor Chongwen curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone, "I can't afford to offend you. If one day the Yu family no longer retreats from the world and comes to this Nine-Five Court, they can be equal to me."

Mei Chengting said firmly: "That day will never come."

Emperor Chongwen thought he wanted to comfort himself and smiled at him.

Unexpectedly, Mei Chengting said the next sentence: "The Yu family is not short of money, and there is nothing they want in the court."

"..." Emperor Chongwen was speechless, "Mei Aiqing, the second princess spent more than 200 taels of gold, you can pay half of it for her."

Mei Chengting's mouth twitched slightly, 40 years later, why is this person still so petty?

Tingxian Building, fifth floor, Zhifeng Pavilion.

Yin Luo and Yu Ruyi followed Nie Renxi to the front of the pavilion. Nie Lu, who was following behind Nie Renxi, bowed and retreated.

Nie Renxi made a "please" gesture, then opened the door and walked in.

Yin Luo lowered his eyes and thought about it before following him, and Yu Ruyi followed slowly.He once again marveled in his heart, the boss of Tingxianlou is really rich!He looked up at the gorgeous decorations outside the pavilion, the colorful glazed phoenix, the half-gold and half-jade gourd for fortune... Yu Ruyi tried his best to hide the light in his eyes. He couldn't let them think that he had never seen the world!
When Yin Luo stepped into the pavilion door, the first thing he saw was the green-robed young master sitting lazily at the tea table. He looked towards Yin Luo with a faint smile in his eyes.

Yin Luo's heart stopped for a moment.

He was different from everyone she had ever met, both in appearance and temperament.His complexion is extremely fair, and the sunlight from the window shines through, making him almost transparent. His long eyebrows slant into his temples but are not arrogant at all. His peach blossom eyelashes are long and cast a small shadow under his eyes, making it appear that the smile in his eyes is deeper. The bridge of his nose is high and his lips are naturally colored, a rare watery red color, which makes him look very attractive.

His appearance is very light and clear, but not bland, even pretty?But there is a very strong nobility surrounding him, which is even more obvious than that of Mei Chengting, the envoy of Antais. If Mei Chengting has been in a high position for a long time and is looked up to by others, then the person in front of him looks like he is sitting alone in a high hall and pointing out the world.He was lazy and casual, but Yin Luo could see through this disguise and see the fierceness inside him.

The smile in his eyes was not genuine, it was more like he had fun seeing his opponent.

Somehow, Yin Luo's heart seemed to sink. This was a feeling he had never felt before.Instinct made her wary.

The moment Chi Ye saw Yin Luo, he felt very interesting.

The golden flower-red dress on her body came alive under the light, reflecting her rare raised eyebrows, like red lotuses in full bloom, warm and gorgeous but lonely, making people unable to take their eyes away.There is a ruthlessness in her bones that seems to be the same as his.She was looking at him, putting away her indifferent expression in the audience, and her eyes were filled with vigilance and caution.Like a hunting wolf.

The most interesting thing is that she folded her hands in front of her body in a very standard Daliang palace manner.This confirmed one of Chi Ye's conjectures.

The young man behind her was also looking at him. The smile in Chi Ye's eyes deepened. The young man looked both male and female, and he looked very aristocratic. His eyes moved down to the Ruyi silver pattern on Yu Ruyi's robe, and he was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows slightly.

People who go up to the top of the beam to learn from the sky.

Yu Ruyi's attention was also on Chi Ye, and he frowned.

The clothes worn by the green-robed young master are actually made of Haicheng Qi brocade, which is hard to find in the world!And it’s the same style as the dragon robe!It's just that there is no soaring golden dragon pattern on his clothes, but some intricate patterns of flowers and leaves, which seem to be woven and embroidered using some secret technique. They are faintly visible, but cannot be seen clearly.

A rebellious rich man, this is the conclusion Yu Ruyi made for him in her heart.Only then did he look at Chi Ye's face. It was a face that even Yu Ruyi would be amazed at, like a mountain like a spring, like clouds like snow.

Yu Ruyi looked at him a little seriously, but did not notice that the Yuhe scroll in the secret pocket of his right sleeve jumped slightly...

Nie Renxi felt that the atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit strange, so he interrupted everyone's thoughts and said, "Master, these are the Yin family siblings." Yin Luo also came to his senses and nodded at him.Yu Ruyi lowered her eyebrows slightly as a greeting.

Chi Ye smiled lightly and said, "Sit down." He raised his hand to indicate that tea was already brewed on the table.

Nie Renxi sat next to him, Yin Luo was stunned for a moment, then sat opposite him, and Yu Ruyi sat next to Yin Luo.

Water mist rose from the sandalwood tea table in all directions, followed by the small emerald gold-swallowing incense burner on the table, and scattered in the sight of the four people.

Yin Luo lowered her eyes and looked at the tea cup. Inside was the ups and downs of the wind spirit Kuding. She was stunned and looked at the young master in green robe.

Chi Ye took a leisurely sip of tea from the cup, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Yin Luo staring straight at him.

Yu Ruyi also looked at him, not quite understanding why he was serving this tea to his guests.

Fengling Kuding is hard to find, but it is the bitterest tea in the world.Although this tea can clear away heat, detoxify and clear the muscles and veins, it is extremely astringent in the mouth, just like all the pain in the world of mortals, and ordinary people will never buy it.

Chi Ye's expression did not change. He gently put down the tea cup and said, "Aren't you two used to drinking bitter tea?"

Faced with his knowing question, she would definitely reply with disdain according to Yin Luo's past style: "It's not as good as the master's unique taste."

But now she lowered her eyebrows and shook her head slightly, but said: "This tea is hard to find, so it is a good idea to treat guests with it." She met Chi Ye's eyes, "Wind Spirit Kuding, it tastes astringent when exposed to water. Adding sugar makes it more bitter, just like the human heart. It floats and sinks in a cup, and rises when it falls to the bottom, just like the luck of life. Like thick but not light, there is no difference between joy and sorrow, just like the changes in the world."

She smiled at Chi Ye for the first time, her lips still sarcastic as usual, "What do you like about it, Master?"

Chi Ye naturally did not miss her look. He smiled back, his tone still calm: "All three are available." He turned to look at Yu Ruyi, "I'm not used to drinking," and then looked back at Yin Luo, "Then How about we stop drinking and chat for a while?"

Nie Renxi immediately answered the conversation, very much like a compliment, "What do you want to talk about, Master?"

Yu Ruyi looked at him with interest.

Yin Luo didn't comment, just raised his eyebrows slightly, with an indifferent expression.

"The Yin family is engaged in business, and Tingxian Building is also open to welcome guests. Why don't we talk about... money."

Yu Ruyi became interested.Yin Luo was a little confused, why were they talking about money?
Chi Ye looked at Yu Ruyi and asked, "What do you call the young master?"

"Yin Yu." Yu Ruyi smiled lightly, "I don't know what you call me, and how do you plan to talk about money?"

"Chiye." He answered the question first, and then said: "If I read it correctly, Mr. Yu's white clothes are made of silkworm silk from Yinshan Mountain, and..." His eyes stayed on him. On the sleeves, he paused for a moment before continuing: "The Ruyi silver patterns on the cuffs and hem are made of soft silver and embedded in silkworm silk. This dress is worth the price of a house in Beijing."

When Yu Ruyi heard his name, she was stunned. When she heard him say "Master Yu" again, her back became a little tense. After he finished speaking these words, Yu Ruyi's body was already a little stiff. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Chi has good eyesight."

Yin Luo's heart trembled when he heard his surname. Moreover, Yu Ruyi clearly told him that his name was "Yin Yu", but the young master named Chi in front of him slowly called him "Young Master Yu". It was even more obvious that Yu Ruyi Chi Ye even left some room for the raw materials and production methods of Ruyi's silver-white dress specially made by Shang Tianjian.

All the silver patterns on Yu Ruyi's robe are sharp blades. Shang Tianjian practices internal skills and does not practice sword dancing, but he will inlay sharp blades on his robes. When the sharp blades are inserted into the clothes, they will form patterns. In critical moments, as long as Caressing your robe lightly, and then using your inner strength to move your skills, you will create thousands of flower-like sharp knives in front of you... But Shangtianjian also has ancestral instructions, and descendants should not eat meat, see blood, and not be brave and fierce. Therefore, Shangtianjian's secret law is Rarely known.

Mei Chengting could recognize Yu Ruyi because he held a high position and was in charge of the Daliang family scrolls, so there must be records in them, but how did Chi Ye recognize it?
