The teapot is made of Yixing purple clay, with delicate orchids carved on its body, and the lines are smooth and natural.
The teacup was as thin as a cicada's wing, with a gold rim that shimmered in the light.
At this moment, steam rose from the teapot, and the fragrant aroma of tea filled the entire carriage, adding a touch of leisurely comfort to this small haven.
As soon as Lin Fu got on the bus, he was like a curious child, touching and looking at everything, his eyes full of love and wonder.
He gently stroked the soft chair and carefully examined the exquisite tea set.
He gently lifted the teapot, feeling its weight and texture, occasionally exclaiming in amazement, showing great interest in every detail of the carriage.
As the sun began to set, its soft light bathed the vermilion gates of the Prince's mansion. In a short while, the carriage that Lin Fu so adored came to a steady stop in front of the Prince Zhao's mansion.
Lin Fu sat in the car, his hand unconsciously stroking the soft backrest a few times before slowly getting up and stepping out of the car.
His gaze remained fixed on the carriage, turning back every few steps, his eyes conveying the feeling of parting from an old friend, clearly showing his fondness for the carriage.
The Prince's steward, Lin Fu, was already waiting to the side, dressed in a clean and tidy moon-white robe.
The exquisite embroidery on the hem and cuffs, faintly visible in the sunlight, showcases the extraordinary grandeur of the royal residence.
His hair was neatly pinned up at the back of his head, his face was kind, and he wore a perfectly measured smile. Every word and action of his exuded composure and thoughtfulness.
Lin Fu observed Lin Fu's expression and behavior, smiled broadly, and strode forward.
He first bowed respectfully before speaking, "Lord Lin, you must be tired from your journey. I hope you will come into my residence to rest for a while and avoid the fatigue of your journey."
This old servant will certainly wash and arrange this carriage carefully, keeping it spotless inside and out, and decorating it in a warm and elegant manner.
"On the day Lord Lin and the Prince return to the capital and set off, this carriage will surely accompany you safely and without worry."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fu's eyes lit up instantly. He subconsciously stroked his beard, and an undisguised joy appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to respond, Qin Qianluo walked over with light steps and elegant posture.
Qin Qianluo wore a white brocade robe, its hem fluttering like clouds in the sky, with a dark green belt tied around her waist, inlaid with a warm jade pendant.
The jade pendant swayed gently as she walked, further enhancing her ethereal气质 (qi zhi - refined and elegant demeanor).
She smiled, her eyebrows curved, her eyes full of sincerity, and her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring in the forest: "Lord Lin has taken meticulous care of me all this way."
My heart is filled with gratitude, but I have not yet found a suitable opportunity to express it.
I imagine that adults would be more comfortable traveling if they had a suitable carriage.
This carriage was carefully selected by me, and I hope it will bring convenience to your daily travels. I hope you will not find it offensive and will accept this small gift.
Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's words, Lin Fu's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable joy, a joy that was like fireworks suddenly bursting in the night sky, instantly illuminating his eyes.
His already kind face beamed with an even brighter smile, and even the fine lines around his eyes, usually deep from hard work, were smoothed out by his joyful mood.
My whole being seemed to be bathed in a warm glow by this unexpected gift.
Recalling the moment he first sat in the carriage, he felt like an explorer who had discovered a treasure, deeply attracted by the carriage's exquisite design.
The wheels are made of special materials, which not only make the ride smooth and quiet, but also make them highly adaptable to various road conditions.
Even on rough country roads, it's as if you're walking on flat ground.
The interior layout is ingenious and reasonable, and the decoration is elegant yet comfortable, with every detail showcasing the ultimate craftsmanship.
He carefully observed the mortise and tenon structure inside the car, pondering its secrets to himself.
He was already planning to find the most famous craftsman in the capital after returning to Beijing and build one in this style.
So that I can enjoy this kind of comfort during my future official travels.
Now, King Jinrui Zhao is so understanding and generous in giving him this carriage as a gift, which makes him overjoyed.
During the time he spent with King Jinrui Zhao, he came to know his generous, unrestrained, and loyal nature very well.
I understand that if I refuse again, I will only betray this rare friendship and make myself seem too old-fashioned and distant.
So Lin Fu composed himself, raised his hand to gently straighten his slightly wrinkled sleeves, carefully adjusted his official hat, and solemnly took a step forward.
He raised his hands high, interlocked his fingers, and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped together, his body slightly leaning forward, his posture full of humility and respect.
Every word he spoke was filled with sincerity and gratitude, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Your Highness's kindness is too much for me to bear!"
Accompanying you all this way is simply my duty, I never expected Your Highness to be so concerned.
This carriage is so exquisite, it's clear that Your Highness put a lot of thought into it. Since Your Highness has shown me such favor, it would be a shame to refuse. I can only cherish it and not disappoint Your Highness's kindness.”
