"It's no big deal, the Mingtang in Tianrui Court is empty, not a single spirit tablet, not even a painting hanging on the wall." Xi Ye went off on a tangent and suddenly felt an extreme thirst. He fumbled with the teapot and cups on the tray, but alas, not a drop of water was to be found. With a sigh of complaint, he said, "What's with Tianrui Court not having a drop of tea ready? If I'd known, I wouldn't have urinated, would've kept some water in my body, right?"
"So, are you also holding it in case you get hungry at midnight, and thus not going to the latrine?"
