Ye Ercha calmly returned Si Yuling's gaze, not backing down an inch. The two equally powerful and imposing men stood facing each other.
"Marshal Si, I said six years ago that Yun Duo would be my only queen. I will strive to become strong, strong enough that no one will dare to question my decision."
"At least, you're not ready yet, so don't bother my sister." Although Si Yuling liked Yan Jin, he was also a sister-obsessed brother.
Anything that could harm my sister must be eliminated.
After watching the drama unfold for a while, His Majesty laughed and said, "Alright, neither of you managed to win over the girl, so stop arguing here and start thinking about your future paths."
Indeed, both girls are outstanding enough. His Majesty would be happy to have Yun Duo become his eldest son's queen. However, there are too many rules in the royal family, which would restrict that lovely young girl.
As for his own son, although he was grooming him to be the next king, he still needed to work hard himself before he abdicated.
After this short rest, His Majesty felt much better, no longer in so much pain and weakness, and was able to sit up and take a few steps.
The three of them sat down at the table, and Si Yuling took out tea leaves, a teapot, and hot water from his spatial storage.
The fact that tea was brewed in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince shocked both of them, who had never seen tea brewed before.
"What is this?" His Majesty was in much better health and his mood had improved considerably.
"This is called tea. In ancient Earth, people used it to entertain guests or to drink themselves."
There are many kinds of tea. The one we're drinking now is Pu'er, a type of black tea. Pu'er is further divided into raw and ripe varieties. This one is called ripe tea, which has a warming and stomach-soothing effect.
As Si Yuling introduced the tea, he said that he had already brewed it and served a cup to His Majesty and the eldest prince. "Your Majesty, the eldest prince, please have a taste."
The two picked it up and, imitating Si Yuling, sniffed it. Warm steam wafted from the cup, carrying the unique fragrance of tea and the mellow richness of ripe tea, with a slight burnt aroma.
The flavor is complex yet pleasant. Taking a small sip, the initial bitterness is mixed with the richness of the tea, followed by a smoky aftertaste with a hint of sweetness.
It tastes great. One bite warms you from your mouth all the way to your stomach, and your heart feels warm too.
What surprised His Majesty and the Crown Prince even more was that "this tea possesses elemental power!"
“You feel good.” Si Yuling nodded. “This was also grown by Miss Yan Jin. She said it’s called Pu’er, a kind of tea.”
If it's grown by an ordinary person, it's just an ordinary tea tree, and the tea leaves harvested are just ordinary leaves.
If it's grown by someone with an affinity for the wood element, it carries elemental power. The strength of the elemental power of the person growing it will also be reflected in the tea.
Si Yuling took a small sip, squinting as he felt the power of the wood element flowing through his body, nourishing his meridians.
The eldest prince and His Majesty also felt this way, both of them looking shocked and incredulous.
In particular, Your Majesty said, "I can even feel the elemental power repairing the damaged parts of my meridians, and my energy is slowly, little by little, recovering. It's incredible."
"This was planted by Miss Yan Jin herself." A look of nostalgia flashed in Si Yuling's blue eyes. He had been right beside her watching back then.
