Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

When a woman who is obsessed with flowers develops the ability to be obsessed with them, it is definitely not a good thing, at least for Li Xingzhi, especially when this woman is the historically "famous" Princess Gaoyang.

Li Linzhi, standing nearby, was displeased to see Gao Yang staring intently at her beloved. Having risen from humble beginnings, even knowing these men were royalty only elicited a slight surprise; she was currently furious and didn't care about such things.

"Hmph! Shameless!"

Gao Yang's face turned red and then pale with anger at Li Linzhi's words. He wanted to retort, but when he saw the silver whip that Li Linzhi was playing with, his face turned pale and he swallowed his words.

Seeing all this, Li Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh: truly, there's always someone who can subdue another. If that person a few years from now had Xiao Zhi's current power, how could he have suffered such a miserable fate of being cuckolded?

Thinking of that dark green hat, Li Xingzhi looked at Gao Yang with a look of fear in his eyes and quickly moved away, as if afraid of getting involved with something bad.

Little Li Zhi stepped forward, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Big brother, I apologize for being so presumptuous." A glance at Gao Yang beside him flashed in his clear eyes, a hint of apology in them. This was clearly a little boy with a childish voice, yet he was trying to act like a serious adult, even his tone was different. Li Xingzhi found it amusing, but inwardly sighed—no wonder he's destined to be emperor!

"I am overjoyed that the Ninth Prince and the Princess have graced my humble abode with their presence!" He glanced at the green-clad woman beside him who had remained silent until he noticed that she and her maid were staring at him with dazed expressions. When they saw him approaching, their faces turned even paler, and they quickly turned their heads away, seemingly lost in thought.

Distracted by Xiao Lizhi, Gao Yang snapped out of her reverie and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit—she seemed to sense a faint fragrance lingering near her nose again. She swallowed hard, about to speak, but then felt something was amiss. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the young boy in front of her—

The unfortunate Li Zhi felt his 'female demon' sister kick him from behind. Just as he turned around to ask what was wrong, he saw the 'female demon' winking at him, using her eyes to coerce and entice him.

Little Li Zhi glanced at the sharp gaze of the girl in red behind him, then turned to look at Li Xingzhi. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but looked troubled...

Li Xingzhi, who had witnessed the petty squabble between the two eccentric siblings, decided not to press the matter further and said, "Just say what's on your mind! What can't you say when you're with your big brother?"

Finally, under Gao Yang's hopeful and happy gaze, Li Zhi blushed and asked somewhat shyly, "Big brother, do you still have any of those red fruits?"

"Red fruit?" Li Xingzhi was taken aback. "You mean apples? Those have all been distributed long ago." Of course, he wouldn't say that he had more apples than he could eat—things are precious mainly because they are rare and hard to come by. For example, if a thousand-year-old ginseng were dropped at Li Xingzhi's feet right now, he would probably bend down and find it troublesome.

"Oh." The light in Xiao Lizhi's eyes dimmed, and the girl next to him also showed a look of disappointment. Clearly, the sweetness of the apples grown in the space had captivated them.

“However—” Li Xingzhi drawled, looking at the hope in the eyes of the three people before him, and slowly said, “I have some other fruits that a senior monk brought over. I was just about to eat them today when you arrived.” When they heard that it wasn’t apples, their faces showed disappointment—having grown up in the palace, what kind of fruit hadn’t they eaten? They didn’t believe that Li Xingzhi could produce any good fruits that they had never seen before.

Seeing their somber expressions, Li Xingzhi offered no explanation, but instead led them towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Naturally, the group couldn't help but marvel at the narrow path, almost level with the water and submerged in lotus leaves.

By this time, a large wicker basket had been placed in the pavilion, filled with all kinds of fruit, such as golden and refreshing bananas, amethyst grapes, and sliced ​​tender yellow cantaloupe...

So many beautiful fruits, unlike anything they had ever seen before, shone brightly in the sunlight, dazzling the eyes of several people.

Standing to the side, Li Linzhi looked at their astonished expressions with a hint of disdain—humph, she wouldn't tell them that they actually ate so much of this stuff every day that their stomachs would burst. She naturally didn't remember how astonished she had been when she first saw these fruits.

The group sneaked in, eating and taking things, but returned with a heap of belongings, making a big show of it. Even Gao Yang, who acted as if it were perfectly normal, and Li Zhi only felt slightly embarrassed about taking the stuff. Li Xueyan, who followed behind Gao Yang and Li Zhi, only tasted the food, unlike the two who returned like 'robbers returning home'.

After leaving the Li family, young Li Zhi held a green pear in his hand, looking at the basket of various fruits carried by his maid, his slightly flushed face showing satisfaction; while Gao Yang, who had taken more, looked at Li Xingzhi with flirtatious glances, looking reluctant to part, it was unclear whether she was reluctant to part with the fruit or the person.

Li Xingzhi shuddered at Princess Gaoyang's glare and silently prayed to the gods: "Let her go and wreak havoc on Fang Yi'ai! He's destined to be remembered as the cuckold king for all time!"

Today, the Li residence is destined to be restless! And because of Li Xingzhi, the Li family is destined to be entangled with the royal family.

No sooner had this group left than another thronged to their side. This time, it was a truly grand affair! – Two strong, black, horned oxen pulled a luxury cart with a reddish-yellow exterior and a dragon looming within it.

"His Highness the King of Yue has arrived!" A loud shout rang out, quite impressive—the Li family was merely a lowly merchant family, how could they have ever seen such a spectacle? At this moment, even Li Xingzhi was completely bewildered: why would the dignified King of Yue condescend to come to his house? He didn't seem to know this man at all!

However, since they've come, it's not really appropriate to just kick them out—Li Xingzhi doesn't care, but the Li family still needs to establish itself in Chang'an.

In the main hall of the Li family residence, a robust young man with a large waist and abdomen sat in the main seat, enjoying a cup of fragrant tea. He looked comfortable and cheerful, but inwardly he was overjoyed—this time he had finally found a truly extraordinary person!

The servants of the King of Yue looked at their master grinning foolishly, feeling bewildered and quite puzzled. They had no idea why their esteemed master would come to the home of this lowly merchant.

It turned out that among Li Er's sons, several outstanding ones had eccentricities that were different from others—the eldest legitimate son, Li Chengqian, loved to wander in the wild and had a strong curiosity; the second legitimate son, Prince Yue, Li Tai, was exceptionally talented in literature, but he disliked associating with upright officials and noble families, wanting to emulate Lord Mengchang by befriending eccentric people and keeping many petty scoundrels in his household; the third legitimate son, Li Zhi, was always by his side and had a somewhat timid and indecisive personality; the illegitimate son, Li Ke, failed to see his awkward position, possessing good character, literary talent, and martial arts skills, but he was arrogant and had offended many people.
