"Clear God Tree?"
Xiao Rui slowly turned around, his tone somewhat doubtful.
However, his eyes were looking at the person behind him. He was handsome and wore a brown robe. His long hair was combed back. If it were anyone else, they might really think that this was a youth.
However, Xiao Rui could tell at a glance that this was a woman dressed as a man. She had even called him Imperial Father just now.
But Xiao Rui didn't know which princess it was.
This woman was Chang Le. Chang Le looked at the dragon pendant on Xiao Rui's waist and felt that it had stunned Xiao Rui just now. At this moment, he was in a good mood. He walked up and said," Of course it's the Clear God Tree."
"Imperial Father said that once the Clear God Tree is opened, a light sniff will be able to clear one's mind and be eye-catching.”
"Even I wouldn't dare to damage it. How dare you. If father finds out, he'll probably pull you down and give you ten slaps.”
Changle walked up to Xiao Rui as she spoke. She also looked at Xiao Rui. It was unknown what she thought of, but her face was slightly red.
Xiao Rui only smiled. Drinking tea was originally refreshing. However, this tea tree was obviously an old tea tree that could be carried into the Imperial Palace. It was not a few hundred years old, but it was at least a hundred years old.
Smelling it also had a calming effect.
He looked at Chang Le and said," This isn't the Clear God Tree. It's called a tea tree. You can make tea with boiling water. It has a unique flavor."”
Chang Le was not very old. Hearing Xiao Rui's words, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked curiously,""You're not lying to me?"
"How would I dare to lie to the prince?" Xiao Rui said with a smile.”
Xiao Rui said this on purpose. Hearing this, Chang Le was amused. For a moment, she smiled brightly. She thought that she had deceived Xiao Rui.
Chang Le immediately nodded and said," That's right. I don't think you dare to lie to me. Anyway, you've taken these off. Let's try it according to what you said."”
After Chang Le finished speaking, the palace maid beside him immediately went to prepare.
Xiao Rui and Chang Le sat in the pavilion. Chang Le supported his chin with his hand and said,""Are you really here to be a historian? I didn't believe it when my father told me yesterday. I only saw the dragon pendant today when Xiao Lan brought you here.”
Xiao Rui didn't hide anything and directly said,"That's right."
Chang Le looked at Xiao Rui and wanted to say something.
The palace maid had already brought hot water and a teapot.
Xiao Rui looked at the teapot and washed the tea leaves. Although the tea leaves had not been stir-fried, they were still tender buds. No matter what, they tasted much better than those chopped green onions.
As soon as the hot water was flushed, the fragrance of the tea immediately assailed his nostrils.
The entire pavilion was filled with the fragrance of tea.
Chang Le naturally stretched her head to look at the tea, then looked at Xiao Rui who was carefully handling the tea leaves. She felt an inexplicable charm appear on Xiao Rui, which even made her a little absent-minded.
Until Xiao Rui placed a cup of tea in front of her.
"Thank you," said Chang Le with a sweet smile.”
The tea was very hot. After a long time, she took a sip, and her eyes curved into crescents.
She looked at Xiao Rui and said,"You want to be a historian? What do you know?"”
Xiao Rui looked at her cross-dressing and narrowed his eyes."I know how to tell stories. It's called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The main characters in it are Guo Jing and Huang Rong.”
Chang Le gradually became fascinated as he listened.
Xiao Rui spoke in an orderly manner. The pavilion in the imperial garden was very quiet.
However, the court was already in an uproar.
"Eight-year-old historian, how can this be? Although a historian is only a fifth-grade, it is indispensable.”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider."
"This is a joke. The historian has always been in the Taishi Manor since ancient times. How can His Majesty accept his fate?”
"An eight-year-old child probably can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics clearly. How can he be a historian?”
"If that child becomes a historian, won't Taishi Manor's Xue Zongguang become a joke?”
The voices of the officials rose and fell.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, and the others stood calmly at the front.
Each of them held a jade board and turned a deaf ear.
It wasn't until Li Shi Min walked from the side hall to the dragon throne that the court quieted down.
The civil and military officials saluted and shouted,"Welcome, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live."”
Li Shi Min, who was wearing a dragon robe, raised his hands and said,"Everyone, please excuse the formalities."
The officials stood up.
Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne and said to everyone,"I seemed to have heard what the beloved ministers were discussing just now. Why are they quiet now? If there's anything, just say it.”
Li Shi Min swept his gaze across the officials.
The few people who were shouting the loudest just now buried their heads in front of them like ostriches.
However, the secret letters from Cui Family were still useful. An old official walked out of the official column and said righteously with a jade board in his hand,""Your Majesty, we heard a rumor today that you want to appoint an eight-year-old child as a historian.”
"I don't know if it's true or not. I hope Your Majesty can clear my doubts.”
After the old minister finished speaking, all the officials below looked at Li Shiming with burning eyes.
Li Shi Min sat there and said,"Since all of you are curious, then I will tell you today that this is not a rumor. I did say that I would give this child a chance to compete with the person recommended by the Taishi Manor.”
"What? Do you have any objections?”
Li Shi Min's words were filled with joy and anger. The officials understood what he meant.
An eight-year-old kid competing with Xue Zongguang?
Wasn't this like an egg hitting a rock?
It seemed that Li Shiming didn't want this child to be a historian. Since that was the case, there was no reason.
The old minister bowed again and said,""Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm fine now."
"I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to this matter." Li Shiming waved his hand slightly and said,"Since that's the case, we'll have the civil and military officials witness it in Taiji Palace after the court session."”
"That Xiao Rui and Xue Zongguang, the winner will be my historian.”
