Chapter 194 Shadow Puppet Show

After hearing this, Lin Mimi blushed and replied shyly, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate!"

"You must have many elders and relatives in your family. If you were caught by them, it would probably affect your reputation."

She thought to herself, don't let others misunderstand me!

Su Ci thought for a moment and seemed to understand Lin Mimi's concerns, so he said softly: "Then Your Highness, please wait for a while in the teahouse not far ahead. I will return home immediately to get the items."

After saying that, he pointed to the teahouse in the distance, his eyes full of concern.

Lin Mimi looked in the direction Su Ci pointed, and saw that the teahouse was antique and the environment was quiet and elegant.

She nodded in agreement and said to Su Ci with a smile, "Okay, thank you. You don't have to rush. I will wait for you no matter how late it is."

Su Ci blushed slightly when he heard this, lowered his head, and responded softly: "Hmm..."

There was a hint of shyness and joy in his voice. Then he turned and walked quickly towards home, his figure gradually disappearing in the crowd.

Lin Mimi also signaled Jiang Hanyi to drive the carriage to the teahouse.

Lin Mimi walked into the teahouse, chose a private room, and sat down near the window.

She was enjoying the scenery outside the window while enjoying the tea and snacks served by the teahouse.

Soon, Su Ci hurried over, holding a large exquisite wooden box in his hand.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." He then opened the large wooden box and arranged the things needed for the shadow play one by one.

Su Ci hung a white curtain on the wall and then lit a few oil lamps. The light shone through the shadow puppets and onto the curtain.

Su Ci looked at Lin Mimi who was illuminated by the candlelight. The soft candlelight reflected in the room, casting their shadows together.

Then he picked up a small puppet and manipulated it flexibly. The puppet jumped and danced on the curtain as if it had life.

Lin Mimi was so engrossed in watching that she couldn't help but move closer.

Su Ci noticed her actions and asked softly, "What story does Your Highness want to see?"

Lin Mimi thought for a moment and replied, "Let's just tell a story about a princess and a scholar."

Su Ci nodded and began to tell the story. His voice was deep and magnetic, and the lifelike puppet in his hand made the whole story more vivid and interesting.

As the story progressed, Lin Mimi's mood also fluctuated. When the princess in the story was in danger, she couldn't help but get nervous; when the princess and the scholar were finally together, she smiled with relief.

Before we knew it, a lot of time had passed and the story came to an end.

Lin Mimi clapped her hands softly and exclaimed: "It's really wonderful! I didn't expect shadow play to be so interesting."

Su Ci smiled and put away the puppet and the curtain, then looked at Lin Mimi with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "If your highness likes it, I can perform for you often in the future."

"Then it's a deal." Lin Mimi replied with a smile. Her gaze fell on Su Ci, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.

Su Ci asked softly, "I wonder when Your Highness plans to return to the palace?" His tone was very gentle, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

Lin Mimi was stunned when she heard this, and was obviously a little surprised by this sudden question.

She hesitated for a moment before coming back to her senses and uttered a puzzled "Ah?" She seemed to be still immersed in her previous thoughts and did not fully keep up with Su Ci's speed in changing the topic.

Su Ci smiled slightly and continued, "It is already lunch time. I wonder if Su Ci will be lucky enough to have dinner with His Highness today?"

His voice is deep and magnetic, making it sound particularly comfortable.

Lin Mimi subconsciously touched her stomach and muttered to herself, "Ah? Is it noon already?"

She couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast, and so much time has passed without her noticing.

No wonder I felt hungry at this moment, it turned out to be lunch time.

"Okay, then what does Su Ci want to eat?" Lin Mimi responded with a smile, with a hint of thought in her eyes.

After all, you have to take the other person's taste preferences into consideration to make the meal more enjoyable.

Su Ci replied modestly, "I have no special requirements, as long as it is food that Your Highness likes."

He gave the choice to Lin Mimi and expressed his willingness to cater to her preferences.

Lin Mimi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then suddenly an idea came to her mind and suggested: "Why don't we have dinner in this teahouse!"

Then she added excitedly: "This way, after dinner I can listen to the storyteller downstairs." Her words were full of anticipation and excitement.

Su Ci nodded happily, indicating his approval of Lin Mimi's decision. He said gently, "I will follow your Highness's arrangements in everything."

For him, being able to accompany Lin Mimi is a happiness no matter what he does.

The three of them sat down at the table, ordered their food, and started chatting.

"What do you like to do in your daily life?" Lin Mimi asked curiously.

"I like reading, painting, and sometimes I make some little gadgets myself." Su Ci replied with a smile.

"What a coincidence, I like reading too." Lin Mimi's eyes lit up.

"Oh? What books does Your Highness read?" Su Ci asked.

"I have read all kinds of books, but my favorite are storybooks," Lin Mimi said with a smile.

"It seems that Your Highness is also a person who loves to listen to stories." Su Ci's mouth curled up, "If there is a chance in the future, I can also tell stories to Your Highness."

"Okay!" Lin Mimi agreed happily.

As they were talking, the food was served one after another. The two of them ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

I heard the storyteller outside, when he talked about the exciting part of the plot, he said: "If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter!"

Some guests wanted to continue listening to the story, so they threw some coins to the storyteller: "Go on."

The storyteller took the silver very enthusiastically and said, "Speaking of this..."

Lin Mimi sighed in her heart that the storyteller changed his expression so quickly, and thought to herself: What? Could it be that there were also people who promoted books in ancient times?

Or do listeners still need to pay to read books like modern novels? Or do they need to become members?

When Lin Mimi thought of this, she puffed and the rice grains couldn't be contained, and they sprayed all over the face of Su Ci who was sitting opposite her.

Lin Mimi scratched her head and apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it." As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the rice grains off his face.

Su Ci took the handkerchief, wiped his face, and then smiled slightly, "Nothing."

Both of them were full at this time, and they walked out side by side.

"Very cute." Su Ci said in a low voice.

Lin Mimi didn't quite hear it and asked again: "What?"
