Lu Xuan was worried that he was not feeling well, so he quickly asked, "How is it?"
Liu Tan shook his head, "It's all right." He then handed the still-uncooked barbecue to Lu Xuan and ordered, "Pour me a glass of milk with some honey."
Sweet milk can help with hangovers, but he doesn't want to drink hangover soup.
After giving the order, he sat obediently beside Liu Che.
The alcohol had already taken effect, and his face was slightly red. His eyes were staring straight at Lu Xuan, but it seemed as if he didn't see him. It was unclear where his gaze was.
Liu Tan sat there curled up with his legs hugged.
She is not short and has long legs, but sitting like this gives people the illusion that she is thin and small.
Liu Che looked at his son and found that his son looked very well-behaved after getting drunk. He didn't cry or go crazy. He just sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Xuan seemed to be very worried about him and kept watching him while grilling the meat.
Not long after, the milk Liu Tan ordered was brought over. At this time, probably because he was drunk, he stared at the glass of milk for a long time, tilted his head and thought about it, as if wondering how the milk came into being.
Liu Che couldn't bear to watch and said, "Drink."
He didn't understand how milk could help with hangovers, but after he drank, his son would often have someone give him a glass of milk, and he would indeed feel much better after drinking it.
Although Liu Tan's thoughts were a little interrupted, his instincts were still there. After hearing Liu Che's words, he obediently took the milk and drank a sip. When he raised his head, there was still a circle of white on the corner of his mouth. At first glance, he looked like a little old man.
Lu Xuan looked back and couldn't help laughing. While Liu Che was watching someone wrestle, he came over to help Liu Tan wipe his mouth.
When he looked up, he saw Liu Che staring at his...hand.
Lu Xuan naturally put his hand down and turned back to continue grilling the meat, while Liu Tan still sat there obediently, holding his milk cup.
Liu Che admired Zi's silly look for a while, then came over, took out the cup he had finished drinking, and said, "Go back to sleep."
After hearing this, Liu Tan blinked, hiccuped, and said, "No... I can't. I still have an exam tomorrow."
Liu Che was stunned for a moment: "What exam?"
Liu Tan also got stuck for a moment, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he had blacked out again.
Liu Che thought he was still thinking about the imperial examination and couldn't help but laugh: "The imperial examination will be held next year, and you are already thinking about it this year?"
Liu Tan seemed relieved: "The exam is next year. Fortunately, I still have time to review."
When Liu Che heard this, he felt something was wrong. It was clearly saying that he was going to take an exam.
Liu Che suddenly remembered his initial doubts about the entire examination system. He always felt that such a mature system was not something that Liu Tan could come up with on a whim.
He thought for a moment and took the opportunity to ask, "Are you so afraid of the exam?"
Liu Tan immediately turned serious. "I... I'm not afraid. I... I've been through a lot, how could I be afraid of an exam?"
Liu Che laughed: "Why wouldn't I be afraid of you being so nervous? You are considered a veteran of the battlefield, right?"
Liu Tan's eyes widened. "I've been taking exams since I was a kid, so how... how can I not be considered battle-hardened?"
Liu Che subconsciously asked, "Having taken the test since childhood? Why do you have to take it so many times?"
Liu Tan said in confusion, "That's why we have to take so many exams: class exams, monthly exams, midterm exams, final exams, mock exams, and entrance exams."
Liu Che was almost dizzy from listening to it. Liu Tan kept muttering a lot, but he only remembered the last one: "Entrance examination?"
Liu Tan nodded vigorously, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, he suddenly said, "Teachers are all liars."
"Huh?" Liu Che immediately became alert. Who would dare to lie to his son?
Liu Tan said aggrievedly, "They say that going to college will liberate you. That's all... all fake. Going to college is even worse than high school."
Liu Che was full of doubts. What is high school? What is college?
However, Lu Xuan's focus was on the tragedy, and he immediately asked, "How tragic?"
Liu Tan burst into tears: "I get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, work harder than a donkey, and eat less than a pig. Isn't that miserable?!"
Liu Che and Lu Xuan were stunned when they heard this. Seeing Liu Tan's aggrieved look, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Tan looked around and was about to say something sweet when he suddenly froze, "Who are you?"
Lu Xuan and Liu Che couldn't laugh anymore. How could he not recognize anyone when he was drunk?
Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan intently, his face full of confusion. "There's no such good-looking student in our class, right? Is she new?"
Lu Xuan smiled and was about to say something when he saw Liu Tan turn around and look at Liu Che and say, "Are you new here too? You look a little anxious, don't you? Are you aging prematurely?"
Liu Che's smile froze on his face. Lu Xuan, who was standing beside him, gasped. Seeing that Liu Tan was about to say something, he couldn't help but put his hand over his mouth.
Facing Liu Che's calm gaze, Lu Xuan laughed dryly and said, "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. Ah Tan is drunk."
Liu Che rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let go!"
Lu Xuan wanted to carry Liu Tan away and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't bother with a drunkard."
Liu Che was about to say something when Liu Tan struggled out and patted Lu Xuan: "I'm not finished yet, hiccup."
Then he looked at Liu Che seriously and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Liu Che sneered and stretched out his hand to pinch Liu Tan's face. No one can stop him from dealing with this unfilial son today!
As soon as his hand touched Liu Tan's face, he heard Liu Tan suddenly say with great joy: "I remember now, you are one of the most outstanding monarchs!"
Liu Che paused and narrowed his eyes slightly: "How is it outstanding?"
Liu Tan began to count on his fingers and said, "Strengthen the imperial power internally, subdue the barbarians externally, and create a prosperous era..."
He got stuck at this point, feeling as if there were a few more words he hadn't said, but he couldn't think of the rest, so he simply said, "There's... there's a lot more."
Although Liu Che still pinched Liu Tan's face, his strength was very gentle.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan watched helplessly as Liu Tan courted his own death, and also watched helplessly as he turned the tide and made Liu Che happy.
Lu Xuan: I learned it.
Perhaps because he had said too much after all the commotion, Liu Tan's energy was obviously running low. He staggered and fell on Liu Che, mumbling, "I miss home so much."
Liu Che held his hand and paused, subconsciously thinking that the home Liu Tan was talking about must be Chang'an, the Weiyang Palace.
He gently supported the already asleep Liu Tan, while Lu Xuan said, "Your Majesty, I will take Tan back."
Liu Che said softly: "Be careful, don't wake him up."
After Lu Xuan helped Liu Tan back, he personally helped him take off his boots and clothes and wiped his body before kissing him and whispering, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
Liu Tan didn't know whether he heard it or not, but he turned over and continued to sleep.
After Lu Xuan left, he sat next to Liu Che and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "What Ah Tan said..."
"I don't want anyone else to know."
Lu Xuan looked at Bu Fan beside him, and thought of Miao Rui and Bi Gao who were with Liu Tan. He was speechless for a moment: Aren’t these people human?
However, he still agreed honestly: "I understand."
As the saying goes, the best way to enhance the relationship between two people is probably to have a common secret.
Perhaps this was true, so at this moment Liu Che felt somewhat close to Lu Xuan. He sighed slightly and said, "No wonder Tan'er ran down here."
Lu Xuan understood: "Yeah, there are too many exams. Monthly exams...are there exams every month?"
Liu Che said, "It sounds like it."
The two monarchs, who were very different in age, looked at each other and saw deep sympathy in each other's eyes - it was too difficult to survive in this fairy world.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but say, "I don't know what the test is about."
Liu Che said nonchalantly: "Whatever we talk about, that's what we'll be tested on."
There were so many things that happened back then. Lu Xuan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but say seriously, "It seems that I haven't read enough."
Thinking about it this way, he is only slightly better than an illiterate in front of Liu Tan.
Liu Che glanced at him and said, "It's useless to read more."
Those things are not what should exist in the human world.
When Liu Che thought of this, he suddenly remembered what Liu Tan had just said, and couldn't help feeling a little weird. He just thought that Liu Tan was talking about Chang'an, so could it be... that he was thinking about that home in the fairyland?
So Liu Tan wants to go back?
This won't do. Not to mention how much Liu Che has invested in his son, the changes Liu Tan has brought to the Han Dynasty may not seem obvious now, but Liu Che knows that all this needs time to settle, and it is estimated that the results will be seen within a few years.
Liu Che lowered his eyes. This child was very loyal. If someone treated him well, he would repay them tenfold. So he should be even better to him, so much so that he would not want to go back.
Thinking of this, Liu Che turned around and glanced at Lu Xuan.
Since the little bastard likes Lu Xuan, it will be easier. As long as Lu Xuan is still around, he won't be willing to leave.
Lu Xuan, who was diligently grilling meat for Liu Che, couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He turned around suspiciously but didn't find anything unusual. He couldn't help but feel confused - his intuition was always accurate, what happened just now?
Not knowing that he had become one of the bargaining chips to keep Liu Tan, after Lu Xuan finished grilling the meat and waited for Liu Che to leave, he followed him out.
I don’t know if it was because he was drunk, but he became a little bolder and ran straight into Liu Tan’s tent.
So when Liu Tan woke up the next day and saw Lu Xuan sleeping next to him, he was shocked.
He thought carefully about what happened last night and his face turned pale.
It is basically impossible to forget everything after drinking too much. Unless you fall asleep, you will have some impression as long as you are awake.
It’s just that those memories seemed to be covered by a layer of frosted glass, not quite real. I only vaguely remember what I said.
As soon as he woke up, Lu Xuan also woke up. Lu Xuan rubbed his eyes and asked, "How are you? Does your head hurt?"
Her voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up, and so sexy that it left people speechless.
Liu Tan shook his head and asked, "Why are you here? Forget it, go back quickly before my father finds out."
Lu Xuan leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, then quickly put on his clothes and returned to his tent.
After he left, Liu Tan remembered that he had forgotten to ask himself if he had said anything he shouldn't have said.
However, since Lu Xuan didn't remind him, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Liu Tan was thinking uncertainly, but when he finished washing up and went to pay his respects to his father, the emperor, he heard Liu Che ask in a kind tone, "Tan'er, what are the in-class exams, monthly exams, final exams, mock exams, and entrance exams?"
Liu Tan looked desperate: What on earth did he say yesterday!
