As for the name of the main character, why couldn't he be called Xiu 'Er?
Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of the plane, fought against the transmigrator Wang Mang. Wasn't that a historical fact?
Since ancient times, there had been many men named Yu, Xiu, and so on.
In ancient times, men even paid more attention to dressing and appearance than women. They were called handsome men!
Therefore, it made perfect sense for the protagonist to be called Xiu-Er!
……
[New mission: Form an alliance with Concubine Yang and plot for the position of Crown Prince.]
A mission window popped up in the system.
Li Xiu 'er was shocked.
Concubine Yang was a stunning beauty with a noble background and was radiant. If he were to form a united front with her, he would naturally be willing.
However, she had the bloodline of Emperor Yang and Empress Xiao. She was not an ordinary woman and was not so easy to fool.
What method should he use?
On the field, she carefully examined Li Ke several times and found that he was just as Li Xiu 'er had said. He only had a little flesh wound and was not seriously injured. Concubine Yang's face darkened.
"Ke 'er, what's wrong with you? Your eldest brother only sparred with you a few times and didn't use any heavy blows, and you're already in such a sorry state? He even shouted 'Mother, save me'? Your father has led the army for many years and has been unhindered in the world. He has been injured countless times, but he has never cried out in pain! If today's matter were to spread, not only would your Imperial Father not love you, he would even hate you!”Concubine Yang said angrily.
Good lord, Li Shiming's method of teaching his son was indeed different!
Li Xiu 'er didn't interrupt for the time being, but silently noted it down.
"Mother, what you saw is not the truth! " Ouch…" Li Ke quibbled. As he spoke, he started to cry out in pain again. However, his limbs were sore and numb, and he felt a sharp pain. It was very uncomfortable.
"Endure it!" Concubine Yang couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
Li Ke's eyes were red and he wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Seeing how disappointing Li Ke was, and thinking about the fact that she probably wouldn't be able to win the position of Crown Prince, Concubine Yang was furious and raised her jade-like hand to hit Li Ke.
Li Xiu 'er quickly held her hand and said gently,""Concubine Yang, Brother Ke is only young and has a stubborn personality. He will be fine when he grows up!”
Stubborn and delicate?
Li Ke's face twitched as he glared at Li Xiu 'er.
This royal brother who came out of nowhere was really impolite!
It was like adding oil to the fire, the more he spoke, the more chaotic it became.
As expected, Concubine Yang became even angrier. She exerted strength in her arms, wanting to break free and give Li Ke a big slap.
Li Xiu 'er deliberately pulled back her strength. Concubine Yang was caught off guard. With an " Aiyo " sound, she was about to fall to the ground.
Li Xiu 'er rushed over and hugged her.
Concubine Yang fell into Li Xiu 'er's arms, her hair falling down like a waterfall. Only then did she stop herself from falling.
"Are you alright? Concubine Yang, you're a daughter of a wealthy family. You mustn't be too angry! Be careful not to get angry and damage your body!" Li Xiu 'er asked with concern.
Being hugged by Li Xiu 'er, Concubine Yang's face blushed slightly.
She slowly stood up, and the overwhelming anger she had just now had disappeared by more than half in an instant.
"I was eager to teach my son, and I was disappointed that he didn't live up to my expectations.”Concubine Yang said in embarrassment.
"Brother Ke is really fine. He will be completely fine as long as he goes back and rests for half a day.”Li Xiu 'er smiled and said," A fall into a pit is a gain in your wisdom. Please rest assured, Concubine Yang. The next time I spar with Brother Ke, I'll be even gentler."”
"It's heavier, right? You're a smiling tiger, a person from the Great Yin!" Li Ke cursed in his heart.
Concubine Yang snorted at Li Ke and replied,""King Heluo is overthinking! I thank you on behalf of Ke 'er! You are the eldest brother of the emperor, and Ke 'er is the younger brother of the emperor. Please help me teach him more in the future!”
"I will!" Li Xiu 'er nodded.
Concubine Yang looked at Li Xiu 'er and thought for a moment before saying,""King He Luo, can you come to my place for a while? Let me talk to you."
"There's a chance!" Li Xiu 'er pricked up her ears and was delighted.
An alliance would only have a result if both parties were willing.
If it was one-sided, then it would be one-sided love. It would die in the womb and gain nothing.
"Watch me persuade you with my glib tongue!”Li Xiu 'er thought.
"I'm very willing to accept your invitation.”Li Xiu 'er cupped her fists and nodded.
Concubine Yang was only a few years older than him, so she was like a little sister. Li Xiu 'er was very natural when facing her, and she didn't feel any pressure at all.
Concubine Yang nodded and led the way.
Li Xiu 'er followed.
After a few steps, Concubine Yang suddenly stopped.
Li Xiu 'er was caught off guard and bumped into him.
"Ah!" Concubine Yang exclaimed and fell to the ground again.
Li Xiu 'er hurriedly pulled her back.
The situation was a little awkward.
Concubine Yang gently pushed Li Xiu 'er away and looked at Li Ke behind her. She snorted and said,""You come over too!"
"Yes, sir!" Li Ke nodded helplessly.
His body ached as if he had been bitten by dozens of thousand-year-old poisonous centipedes.
He had wanted to go back to recuperate, but who knew that Concubine Yang had given the order, so he could only obey.
As for the palace maids and eunuchs who were howling on the ground, Li Ke ordered them to return to the Wu Residence with a dark expression.
There were so many of them, but they couldn't even defeat one. How embarrassing!
After a while, Concubine Yang brought Li Xiu 'er to Guanghan Palace.
Concubine Yang sat in the main seat, and Li Xiu 'er sat beside her.
Concubine Yang asked the palace maids to go down and boil the best tea. The palace maids accepted the order and went down.
Ten minutes later, while Concubine Yang and Li Xiu 'er were talking, the palace maids came in with an exquisite teapot and two delicate teacups.
"Ke 'er, come and pour us tea!”Concubine Yang glanced at Li Ke, who was standing at the door.
"Here!" Li Ke had no choice but to agree. He dragged his two legs over and poured a cup of tea for Li Xiu 'er and Concubine Yang.
"Xiu-Er, this is the tea specially provided by the Sui Dynasty's imperial family. It's the authentic Da Hong Pao tea produced in Wuyi Mountain in Min Prefecture.”Concubine Yang smiled.
"Alright!" Li Xiu 'er picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The fragrance was strong and long-lasting.
Da Hong Pao was famous for thousands of years. To taste it, one must drink it slowly in small pots and cups of "Gongfu Tea" and smell the fragrance of tea. Only then could one truly taste the charm of Zen tea at the peak of rock tea.
Concubine Yang had done all of this.
She was indeed the princess of the Sui Dynasty. She was so particular about drinking tea.
When ordinary people drank tea, they would hold up big teacups and iron bowls to drink. They would drink until they were full and quench their thirst, regardless of whether it had the fragrance and charm of tea.
Unfortunately, this was how Xiu-Er Li used to drink tea…
But in front of Concubine Yang, he had to pretend that he knew tea very well. He had to taste it slowly and smell the fragrance of tea.
"The fragrance of the tea is elegant, like the fragrance of orchids. It is soul-stirring and lingers in the body and mind. This is the first time in my life that I've ever drunk such a high-grade tea!”Li Xiu 'er praised.
The ancient imperial tribute tea leaves were the most authentic.
The Da Hong Pao and Tie Guan Yin that were common in the later generations had lost their original natural tea flavor. They couldn't even smell the slightest bit of tea fragrance, let alone orchid fragrance.
"The first time I drank Da Hong Pao, I smelled the fragrance of orchids. Xiu-Er's cultivation in the Way of Tea is very good. Concubine Yang smiled.
