Li Chengqian found Li Er’s behavior increasingly puzzling. However, he dared not ask further and could only follow suit, observing the fields. Soon, Li Chengqian noticed a peculiar sight. The young eunuchs carefully cleared the soil around the roots and tubers, then lifted out rounded objects coated with soil. “What is… this? Why does it look so strange?” Li Chengqian, having studied such matters as the crown prince, quickly guessed the truth. Yet, he didn’t realize the gravity of the…

The following day, inside the palace. In the early morning, Li Er was awakened by the sounds of birds outside the window. Despite working late into the night, he felt no discontent. Instead, a rare smile graced his face. Yesterday, Li Er went to inspect the field where potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted and noticed that the leaves of both crops had withered completely. Remembering what Su Li had told him, he recognized this as a sign of their maturity. Li Er urgently summoned Yuan Tiangang to the…

In Changan City, the lights in the treasury were lit. The patrolling Martial Marquis took to the streets and found that the once tranquil Changan City was filled with houses still illuminated at an hour that should have been quiet.

Whether those poems were genuinely Su Li’s creations or not became inconsequential. Once Su Li’s words were out, every poet would view him as an adversary! If he called them well-frogs, then in his eyes, what were they? Both of them were poets, and even if he wrote somewhat better, it didn’t warrant such disdain, did it? Throughout history, no one stood alone in literature or martial arts. It had to be said, with just one sentence, Su Li managed to offend readers everywhere! Now, let’s see how…
