Yan Xiu calmly helped Li Yuyu with her tea refill.
He also picked up his tea bowl to taste the tea, the bowl obscuring his smiling lips. Today's tea was indeed too sweet, yet it gave him a distinctive flavor.
The heat behind his ears gradually dissipated as he sat in the pavilion, enjoying the wind and sipping his tea.
His patience had worsened since he met the little concubine. Earlier on the dragon boat, he nearly lost control but was thankful the little concubine was caught in surprise and blush, not noticing his moment...otherwise...
Yan Xiu silently released a long breath.
"Sir, would you like some pastries?" Feng Yin opened the pastry box, asking with a smile.
Li Yuyu peeked inside, seeing the pastries in the box: "Wow, it's lotus pastries and lotus cakes!"
The method resembled that of the Imperial Chef in the palace kitchen, Li Yuyu immediately recognized.
"Yes, please!" Li Yuyu swallowed eagerly.
