Other than the matter with Prince Shaoyuan, there were no other obstacles along the way. The carriage arrived at Madam Ya's residence without a hitch.
At this time, Ito Mori was the first to get off the carriage. He stood beside the carriage and stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner. He helped Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, and Zhao Qian, who looked shy, get off the carriage and entered the mansion together. Finally, they stopped in a hall.
Zhao Ya summoned a maid and prepared a sumptuous meal. At least for this era, it was a sumptuous meal of meat, vegetables, and wine …
"Forget it, Zhao Ya. Get someone to take everything away. This time, I will let you see what is called good food and wine in this world. " Sei Itō, who had had enough of the taste and monotonous cooking methods of this era, as well as the wine that was similar to water, couldn't help but speak up.
"Oh? Then Ya 'er will wait and see. "Zhao Ya, who still remembered Sei Itō's ability to point out gold, said hurriedly as her eyes lit up. After that, she summoned the maid again and took away the food and wine that had just been placed on the table, leaving only four empty tables in front of each of them.
During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms Period, the aristocratic families and royal families who followed the ancient customs had always used the Western food sharing system. It was only during the Tang and Song Dynasties that they gradually changed to sharing food, which had continued until today.
After that, Sei Itō smiled at Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, and Zhao Qian who were looking at him curiously. With a thought, four or five dishes that were still emitting steam and fragrance, as well as a palm-sized white porcelain bottle and two transparent glass cups, instantly appeared on the tables in front of the four of them. This attracted the gazes of the three of them.
"This …"
Among them, Zhao Ni and Zhao Qian were even more stunned as they looked at the things and food that had suddenly appeared in front of them. They were tongue-tied and couldn't say anything.
"Come, have a taste." Sei Itō picked up the chopsticks on the table and invited them with a smile. Then, he immediately picked up a piece of food from the plate and put it into his mouth to chew.
With Sei Itō taking the lead, Zhao Ya and the other two, who could no longer resist the temptation of the aroma, picked up their chopsticks one after another. They carefully picked up some food from the plate and elegantly put it into their mouths.
In an instant. Zhao Ya and the other two's movements paused, their faces involuntarily revealing a shocked expression.
"How is it?" Sei Itō, who had poured himself a glass of wine, asked with a smile.
"After this, I won't be able to eat the food I used to eat." Zhao Ya looked at Sei Itō with a resentful expression and said softly.
"Yeah." Zhao Ni, who happened to be shocked by the delicacies, answered subconsciously. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately came back to his senses and turned his head to the side in embarrassment.
"Chen Lang. You have to take responsibility for this. "Ignoring Zhao Ni, Zhao Ya said coyly.
"Well said." Sei Itō smiled and said, "Now, let's have a taste of these wines."
Then, with a wave of his arm, the white porcelain bottles on the table of Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, and Zhao Qian immediately floated up on their own. The lid and the body separated and tilted. A wisp of clear spring-like liquid was poured into the glasses, which were also considered extremely precious in the eyes of the people of this era.
"Hua ~"
After a moment, when the wine was poured, Sei Itō raised his glass and invited, "Please."
"Chen Lang is indeed a celestial being. The items that he casually took out. They are all rare treasures in our eyes. "Zhao Ya picked up the wine glass on the table and sighed with a shocked expression.
However, although her voice was low. In this quiet room, it was still clear and audible. Therefore, immediately, Zhao Ni and Zhao Qian, who were admiring the glasses in their hands, looked at Sei Itō with shock and disbelief.
"Sister, Qian 'er, this time we are in luck, so we must seize it." Zhao Ya, who noticed their expressions, looked at them and said with a smile.
"Come, let us toast to you." Then, Zhao Ya turned to Sei Itō and raised her glass.
Zhao Ni and Zhao Qian came back to their senses when they heard that. Their faces blushed and they raised their wine glasses.
Obviously, under this continuous shock, even the rational Zhao Ni's mind was a little shaken, not to mention the young Zhao Qian. None of them refuted Zhao Ya's words and made a gesture of tacit agreement.
"Please." Sei Itō smiled. Then, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, and Zhao Qian followed suit and raised their heads to drink the wine in the glass. However, in the next moment, all three of them turned red, turned around, and coughed violently on the ground.
Obviously, even if Sei Itō specially took out the low-alcohol liquor, it was still too strong and too strong for the women of this era. They couldn't get used to it in a short time, so the three of them couldn't help but cough violently.
"Phew, what a strong liquor." After a moment, Zhao Ya, who was used to drinking, was the first to get used to it. Her cheeks were red as she sighed. At the same time, Zhao Ni and Zhao Qian, who still felt that their throats were a little uncomfortable, nodded in agreement.
"Come, eat a few more mouthfuls." Sei Itō said.
…
Just like that, under the influence of good food and wine, as well as Madam Ya's adjustment, the four of them happily enjoyed this sumptuous meal. However, at the same time, because of the high alcohol content, Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, and Zhao Qian were all drunk. In the end, under the service of Zhao Ya's eight personal maids, they were carried into the room and placed on the big bed that was big enough for five to six people to lie on. They fell asleep soundly.
On the other hand, Sei Itō, who had become a 'loner,' put away the things that he conjured and returned to the front room that was connected to the bedroom alone. He laid down on the low bed that was big enough for one person to lie horizontally and started to rest as well.
After that, they didn't talk for a while and in the blink of an eye, it was already night time.
"Mmm …" Accompanied by a seductive moan, Madam Ni, Zhao Ni, sat up from the bed with her hand on her forehead.
"Where is this?" Zhao Ni, who was still a little hungover, looked at the unfamiliar environment in a daze as she whispered to herself. However, she immediately recalled something and a flash of realization appeared in her eyes. "Oh right, this is Sister Ya's mansion."
Thinking of this, Zhao Ni's expression changed and she quickly lowered her head to check the clothes on her body. Although it looked a little messy, it was still her clothes and no one had touched it. Only then did she let out a long breath and relaxed.
"These two people …" Then, Zhao Ni turned her head to look at Zhao Ya and Zhao Qian who were lying on both sides of her and chuckled softly. Then, she gently moved off the bed, put on her shoes and stood on the ground before walking out of the room.
"You're awake." However, just as Zhao Ni walked to the front room, a familiar male voice suddenly rang in her ears, giving Zhao Ni a shock.
"Greetings, Mr. Chen." Thinking of her embarrassing situation, Zhao Ni bowed and greeted.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Sei Itō looked at Zhao Ni and smiled.
"I'm a little thirsty." Zhao Ni replied softly. "And it's getting late. I should go back to the palace."
"You don't have to worry about the palace. After you got drunk, I already asked Zhao Ya's maid to inform the Queen's Palace that you and the Third Princess will be staying here today." Sei Itō put the bamboo scroll in his hand aside and flipped his palm to produce a cup of water. He walked to Zhao Ni and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Zhao Ni took the cup shyly, thanked him and took a small sip.
Sei Itō leaned forward slightly and put his head in front of Zhao Ni's face and said softly, "So beautiful."
"Mr. Chen." Zhao Ni leaned back slightly but was immediately stopped by an arm that suddenly appeared at her waist. She said helplessly.
"Just like Ya 'er said, although it will take some time, the matter between you and me has already been settled. So, you don't have to call me Mr. Chen anymore. Just like Ya 'er, call me darling Chen or husband. "Sei Itō looked down at Zhao Ni in his arms and smiled.
Zhao Ni turned her head to the side and said hesitantly, "This … Sir, can you please respect Zhao Ni's reputation?"
"Alright then." Ito Mori, who knew the truth of haste, let go of Zhao Ni. He turned his head and held her hand to prevent her from breaking free. Then he pulled her to the wooden couch and said softly, "I heard from Ya 'er that Zhao Ni is proficient in several languages. It just so happens that I need to learn some foreign culture recently. I wonder if Zhao Ni can teach me?"
"This … Sister Ya knows it too, right?" Zhao Ni asked curiously.
For women from noble families like them, although they were not required to be very knowledgeable, they still had to master several languages. Not only was it convenient for communication, but it was also so that when they married into another country in the future, they would be able to understand the local language. Even Zhao Ya, who had been trained as a spy since childhood, needed to master one or two languages of the seven countries.
In this regard, Sei Itō naturally understood. After all, he had lived with Zhao Ya for so many days. He had troubled Zhao Ya a lot to find bamboo slips from various countries and people who were proficient in various languages. He learned from them, recorded them, and transmitted them back to the Rubik's Cube world so that the researchers, spies, and ninjas inside could learn and try to develop translation tools.
It's just that in this way, he would lose an opportunity to communicate with Zhao Ni, so Sei Itō naturally would not stupidly say it out loud. Therefore, he only smiled at Zhao Ni and skipped the topic. Then, he pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down with Zhao Ni.
"Come, help me see how to read these words." Sei Itō did not wait for Zhao Ni to dodge. He directly picked up the bamboo slips that he was looking at before and handed them to Zhao Ni to let her explain.
"This is the language of the Song Country that has been destroyed. These words are Ya, Song, Li, Yan. This whole sentence is … "Zhao Ni, who only thought that Sei Itō was really asking for advice, patiently explained to Sei Itō.
But before she could finish the sentence, she felt her body tighten, and she fell into Sei Itō's arms again.
