Substitute Attack and Scum Shou Your Majesty

in the tea room.

Shi Yin poured a bowl of white water and pushed it to the opposite side.

Han Zongyan hurriedly reached out to take the bowl, glanced at the tea set beside him, smiled, then looked at Shi Yin, and asked tentatively, "Master, why is this tea cup... still there?"

Shi Yin glanced at the three teacups placed together, but didn't intend to reply to Han Zongyan.

Han Zongyan didn't delve too deeply into it, and didn't ask any more questions if he couldn't get the answer. He just took a sip of plain water, put the bowl down, sighed, and said, "Although it's late this year, it's hotter than this year." In previous years, it would be extraordinarily hot, and the capital is almost overwhelmed with people, and I look forward to moving to the palace earlier every day to escape the heat."

"However, our Emperor His Majesty doesn't know what the plan is, and the day to go to the palace is postponed again and again. If the Queen Mother in the palace hadn't suffered two bouts of heatstroke, His Majesty would probably have to postpone it even further."

Shi Yin frowned and asked, "You... are going to the palace too?"

Since he came to Beijing, he has been trapped in this abode for a long time. Among the three people he only knew, two of them are now going to the palace with him...

A Luan... Maybe he knew Han Zongyan?

When Han Zongyan heard the question, he rubbed the mouth of the bowl and said with a smile, "Master, it's because of your mistake."

"At least I have an inherited title, don't I? What's more, my grandmother is still a princess, so why can't I accompany you to the palace?"

Shi Yin lowered his eyes, straightened his turned-up cuffs, and asked, "How long will it take to escape the summer heat in the palace?"

Hearing this, Han Zongyan looked at Shi Yin, still smiling, but with a little more inexplicable meaning, and instead of answering, asked, "Master, why are you suddenly curious about things in the palace?"

Shi Yin straightened his cuffs, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "It's just a question."

"It turned out to be a random question," Han Zongyan restrained his thoughts, still with a smile on his face, put his fingertips on the rim of the bowl, and tapped a few times at random, before he continued: "But since the master is the one who asked, I will take it for granted." I have to answer every question—although it is hot this year and I went later, but according to the usual practice in previous years, it is time to come back by the end of September at the latest."

When Shi Yin heard it, he nodded his head, didn't say anything, and didn't seem to care, as if he was just asking.

After Han Zongyan answered the questions, he didn't make a sound. He just picked up the bowl, drank the rest of the water, and said he was going to leave.

But just got up, but suddenly sat back by himself, Han Zongyan looked at Shi Yin, turned the ring on his hand, and said: "By the way, there is one most important thing, and I almost forgot to tell the master."

Shi Yin looked up at Han Zongyan, waiting for his next words.

"Master, there is an answer to the matter you entrusted me to refer the question last time." Han Zongyan paused, and then said: "The one said... Master, you can do what you want, and no one will dare to stop you."

"But now that the heat is in full swing, Master might as well wait for the weather to cool down before going out. In short, there will be no running away——I added this sentence to Master."

After finishing speaking, Han Zongyan stood up holding the tea table. This time he really wanted to leave. He waved his hand again and said, "Okay, I have brought the words with me. I will take my leave. Master, please stay."

After finishing speaking, Han Zongyan left the tea room and the abbot very elegantly.

Shi Yin sat there alone for a while, put away the empty bowl, but set out the tea set, which meant that he was ready to make tea.

Sure enough, a pot of tea was just right, and people came.

"Master, Guiyun Guiyu, the two little masters, have you gone to the Buddhist Hall again and haven't come back yet?"
