"This little girl even reminded me to drink the wine. Well, get me the wine that the princess gave me the last time." Watching Feng Ruqing leaving, Feng Tianyu couldn"t help but smile.The wine was the first present that Feng Ruqing had given him. Naturally, he could not bear to drink it. Now that Feng Ruqing had reminded him, he must take a sip.
Not long after, a eunuch walked into the imperial study with a cup of wine placed on the tray in his hands.
Feng Tianyu brought the jade cup to his lips. Before he took a sip of the wine, the fragrance of the wine streamed from the cup and into his nostrils. It was so intoxicating that Feng Tianyu was slightly jolted.
"This wine…" The wine was no ordinary wine and was rich in spiritual qi.
"Eunuch Ling, this is the wine that the princess gave me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch waved the horsetail whisk as he answered respectfully.
Feng Tianyu gulped down a mouthful of wine with an imposing expression on his face. As the wine streamed down his throat, a sudden warmth engulfed his body. Feng Tianyu could not help but groan softly.
Spirit wine could soothe aches and pains as well as strengthen the body. However, it was not capable of treating all the diseases. Even so, Feng Tianyu felt so much better than before.
"Haha! This is such good wine! Get me another cup of this wine!"
Ever since Empress Nalan had pa.s.sed away, Feng Tianyu had suffered from overwhelming distress, both physically and mentally. He had never felt this good for a long while. This wine was truly amazing!
"Your Majesty, since you love this wine so much, why don"t this servant buy all of this wine for you?" Ling asked joyfully. It was truly rare that Feng Tianyu would love wine so much. Eunuch
"How could you buy such good wine with money?" Feng Tianyu broke into laughter.
"Then Her Highness…" Eunuch Ling was slightly startled.
"If the wine could not be bought with money, how could the princess get that?"
"I don"t care where Qing"er got this from. Everyone has her own secret. Why should we care about that? Go and invite Master Nalan. I want to drink this wine with him today. Haha!"
Feng Tianyu let out a boisterous laugh. As the saying goes, shared joy is a double joy. It was such a waste to drink such a great wine alone.
"At your command." Eunuch Ling retreated.
When Eunuch Ling left the imperial study, he could still hear the Feng Tianyu"s laughter in the air. He had not been laughing so happily ever since Empress Nalan"s death.
Eunuch Ling shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
"As His Majesty has dealt with great pain for losing the one he loved the most, his health has deteriorated. Has it not been for Her Highness, His Majesty would have taken his own life."
At the entrance of Qin Manor.
Feng Ruqing stopped walking with Dai"er in tow. Standing at the door, Dai"er"s tiny hand clung onto Feng Ruqing"s arm.
The two guards flew into a great panic when they saw Feng Ruqing and could hardly say a word.
"Your… Your Highness?"
"I heard that my aunt is at Qin Manor. I am here to take my aunt home. Could you please inform her?"
"Alright," the guard quickly answered and rushed into the courtyard.
The chamber was peacefully silent with white yarn dancing in the wind.
Qin Yi was sitting next to a bed with intricate wood carvings. Her hand held gently onto the young lady"s hand as she said softly, "Pinyao, don"t overthink. Your health is more important."
Lying in bed, the young lady looked extremely sorrowful as color drained from her face.
