Chapter 3, The Crown Prince Asks About Tea Leaves

I ponder in my mind, yet cannot come up with any thoughts

It was also due to the excessive indulgence of the Emperor towards her that such a significant matter as marriage was left entirely to her discretion

In truth, Li Chengqian did not genuinely like this marriage proposal with Li Yue.

Upon seeing Li Chengqian arrive, Li Shimin said: "Tomorrow, you shall go in my stead to visit Yue'er."

Li Shimin did not know how much longer she could live; if Yue'er could live well, then he would let her be.

Li Yue said with a smile, "He treats me very well"

Thinking of his younger sister Li Yue, Li Chengqian also felt a wave of melancholy

Li Yue shook her head and said, "No need, we are doing quite well now, and he is very skilled; everything in the house is made by him."

Your Highness, the Crown Prince

Li Gang's gaze remained fixed on the scroll in his hand as he spoke, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you might as well share your thoughts."

Li Yue moved a chair for Li Chengqian to sit down

Li Chengqian lowered his tone and said to Li Yue: "If he has done anything to bully you, just tell your royal brother, and he will definitely not let him off."

Walk from Zhuque Street to an intersection, turn right into the East Market, and there is a courtyard as soon as you enter a small alley from the East Market

Since Yu'er got married, she has been under the secret care and protection of two palace maids

Li Chengqian entered the Ganlu Hall, bowed, and said: "Father, Mother"

Looking at Li Yue's complexion again, her complexion is much better than before

On the second day, Li Chengqian set out early from the Eastern Palace

Rarely do we see Yue'er smile; it seems that the poor boy treats her quite well

Li Yue, holding the freshly dried clothes, said: "My husband mentioned he was going to buy some things, so he should be back soon. Your Highness, please take a seat."

Could it be that there is a problem with the medication

As a craftsman, possessing such exquisite skills is not surprising; after all, such items can also be produced by the artisans in the palace

In her childhood, this younger sister was taciturn, and would faint after running just a few steps; many doctors who examined her could not find a cure.

Li Yue called out to Li Chengqian, who was about to leave, and took out a packet of tea, saying: "This is the stir-fried tea made by my husband. The Emperor often feels fatigued from handling memorials, and a sip of this stir-fried tea can refresh and invigorate him. Please let the Emperor give it a try"

Li Yue nodded, "Hmm, he said sitting on the ground m.hetushu.com is too tiring"

Upon entering the courtyard, apart from Li Yue, no one else was seen. Li Chengqian inquired, "Where is your husband?"

Li Chengqian furrowed his brows and asked, "Did he treat you?"

Yue'er is also a pitiful child; her mother died during childbirth.

Having lost my mother at a young age and being frail and often ill

Li Chengqian regained his composure and said: "I have thought of some matters, so I will return to the palace first"

I do not understand what this girl is thinking, falling for a poor boy and insisting on marrying him at all costs

Li Chengqian certainly knows about brewing tea, but roasting tea is still quite rare.

The erudite Li Gang was also lost in thought at this moment, unable to recall from which classic text this sentence originated

Looking at the table in front of him, Li Chengqian noticed a line of small characters carved on it, which read: A true hero does not change his original intention

Li Shimin could hardly recall the last time he saw Yue'er

Yue'er lives here

Upon hearing these words, Li Gang set down the scroll in his hand and pondered.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You need not be overly courteous."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression was one of surprise

Li Chengqian said: "Will you still feel dizzy now?"

Li Chengqian took the small bag of tea leaves, opened it, and inhaled a faint and elegant aroma of tea

Looking at Yue'er now, her complexion has improved significantly compared to before

Speaking of her husband, Li Yue's face was filled with happiness

Good sentence

Li Yue poured a glass of boiled water for Li Chengqian, saying, "I rarely feel dizzy now"

Li Gang said in a low voice: "Let me go back and think about it."

No matter how it is treated, the complexion continues to deteriorate, and the body becomes increasingly weak

Walking along Zhuque Avenue, Li Chengqian pondered how Li Yue had married a boy who had nothing to his name, wondering what she was truly thinking.

After saying this, Li Chengqian was about to turn around and leave

Which classic text does this sentence come from

Li Chengqian asked again: "What does he usually rely on for a living? Does he need me to arrange any tasks for him?"

Yue'er is the Princess of Runan, the third daughter of Li Shimin

Is this made by your husband

Li Yue shook her head and said, "It's not really a treatment; they say you can supplement it with food. After getting married, I haven't taken medicine like this anymore"

Li Chengqian carefully stored the tea leaves and said: "Yue'er has put in great effort, I will definitely present it to Father Emperor."

The conversation between His Majesty and the Empress was overheard by Li Chengqian, who happened to be passing by

In his childhood, Li Chengqian also remembered that as soon as Yue'er caught a whiff of the medicinal soup, she would flee in terror, utterly frightened

Li Chengqian bowed and said, "I understand, Your Majesty."

I just hope she can live happily for a few more years

Next, Li Chengqian recounted to Li Shimin the writings he had learned from the Crown Prince's teacher, Li Gang

She is only two years older than Li Zhi

Hearing Li Yue's call

The body has not only not deteriorated, but has actually recovered even better.

Whenever Li Chengqian thought that Yue'er might not live to adulthood, he felt a wave of disappointment in his heart

Li Yue nodded with a smile, "Mm, take care, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian said: "May I ask, Teacher, from which literary figure does this sentence originate"

In the corner of the yard, there is a pile of medicinal herbs

Looking at the furnishings in the house, Li Chengqian also understood that Li Yue was living a frugal life

This is Li Chengqian's first thought

Farewell to Li Gang, Li Chengqian once again arrived at the Ganlu Palace to meet with Li Shimin, "Father Emperor, I have seen Yu'er."

While Li Yue was tidying up the clothes hanging in her home, she heard a knock on the door. Upon opening the door, she saw Li Chengqian.

Li Yue put away her smile and said, "He won't bully me."

Li Chengqian furrowed his brow in contemplation

Li Chengqian recited: "A true hero remains steadfast in their original intention"

Returning to the palace, Li Chengqian found Li Gang, "Teacher, I have found a wonderful phrase today."

Li Yue instructed: "This item should be brewed with boiling water, and no other ingredients are necessary. Take a sip when feeling fatigued"

Which literary figure is it attributed to

Your Highness, please wait.

If it were not for Yue'er being willful and insisting on marrying, the Emperor would certainly have arranged a good marriage for her, marrying a fine prince, but now she is with a poor young man

It is said that Yue'er will not live to adulthood; if she can spend the rest of her days happily like this, Li Chengqian would find some solace in his heart.

Li Chengqian attempted to sit and unexpectedly found it quite comfortable; usually, he would sit on the ground or on a small stool.

Li Chengqian naturally noticed the tables and chairs placed in the courtyard

Upon seeing Li Chengqian, Li Yue quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness, my elder brother."

Li Chengqian inquired, "How have you been recently"

A chair with a somewhat peculiar style

Whether one comes from a distinguished family or not, it is said that they spend their days idly and without purpose
