The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

In all their lives, they had never seen a woman serve a man.

So when Yue Li was about to refill Jin Chenyuan's tea, Jin Chenyuan simply took the teapot from Yue Li's hand and said, "I'll do it myself. How can I keep troubling you to pour tea for us?"

As he spoke, he poured himself another cup.

"Alright then, pour your own if you want some." Yue Li released the teapot, and the two inevitably touched hands.

Yue Li didn't feel anything; their hands had only touched briefly, and she hadn't had a chance to feel anything properly. However, looking at Jin Chenyuan's slender, jade-white fingers holding the teapot, Yue Li thought to herself, "This man is as gentle and refined as a gentleman, and his hands are just as gentle and refined as jade."

Setting down the teapot, Jin Chenyuan felt a little flustered as he felt the lingering smooth and soft texture in his hands.

Subconsciously, Jin Chenyuan rubbed the lingering sensation in his hand.

Realizing his actions, Jin Chenyuan's expression stiffened.

Shao Qi didn't notice the strangeness of their handsome and woman-averse Prince Chen, and he continued his previous conversation with Yue Li.

"Yueli, where did you buy this flower tea? Even if you don't have tea leaves, flower tea is fine! I can buy flower tea to take home for my mother to drink."

“You definitely won’t find this flower tea anywhere else; I made it all myself.” As she spoke, Yue Li proudly raised her chin.

This flower tea was indeed roasted by her own hands.

This all started when she first began learning alchemy in the world of cultivation.

At that time, although she had already made up her mind to learn alchemy, she still had to complete the sect's tasks.

So whenever she went out on missions, she would pick any spiritual flowers and teas she encountered and store them in her own space.

Once she has accumulated a certain amount of spiritual flowers and spiritual tea, she will use the alchemy furnace to refine them into tea leaves.

In this way, I can not only harvest some medicinal tea, but also practice my control over the heat.

Of course, the spiritual flowers and teas she picked were quite ordinary in the cultivation world.

Because the best spiritual flowers and teas don't grow in the wild at all, but are planted in the forests and fields of the sect and carefully nurtured.

At that time, she was thinking that maybe one day she would return to the modern world.

So she picked a lot of spiritual flowers and spiritual tea, and also refined a lot of them.

This is similar to why she charged gold when selling elixirs.

She thought that such fine spiritual flowers and tea would definitely fetch a good price in modern times.

So she stockpiled over a thousand kilograms of Guangling Flower Tea.

Yes, it's the kind of drink that she could never finish even if she drank it all her life.

Shao Qi, who was expecting Yue Li to name a place so he could immediately buy some flower tea, asked in surprise upon hearing Yue Li's words, "Is all of this we're drinking now made by you?"

"Of course I cooked it myself."

If she didn't orchestrate it, then who else could it be?

Moreover, although the spiritual energy in this world is thin, it still exists. In remote, untouched forests, where the spiritual energy is relatively abundant, such spiritual plants can certainly be nurtured, though they are rare.

So she didn't feel guilty at all when she said she cooked it herself.

"You made this yourself, Yue Li, you're amazing! But where did you pick these flowers? I've never seen a flower tree like this before." Although Shao Qi has a cheerful personality, he's not stupid.

As the heir of the Duke's mansion, he received just as much education as he should have.

Moreover, as the heir of the Duke's mansion, he had seen all sorts of fine things, but he had never seen such a flower before, nor had he ever drunk such flower tea.

"Hmm... I found these flowers on a mountain behind our village. That mountain behind our village not only has these flowering trees, but also these tea trees."

However, there aren't many items.

She hasn't been to other places, so it's still uncertain.

However, during the year she spent cultivating deep in the mountains of Qingshan Village, she did take out some spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and seeds of spiritual tea trees from her spatial storage.

Because the spiritual energy on the mountain in Qingshan Village is more concentrated than that in the villages at the foot of the mountain, there is more than enough spiritual herbs, flowers and tea trees to grow in the deep mountains.

Moreover, after a year of nurturing those seeds with wood-type spiritual power, the spiritual herbs had already sprouted when she left Qingshan Village. The spiritual flower trees and spiritual tea trees had even grown up to her calves.

If those spiritual herbs, spiritual flower trees, and spiritual tea trees truly grow, the spiritual energy they emit will naturally nourish the green mountain.

The spiritual energy on the green mountain will naturally continue to nourish those spiritual herbs, tea trees, and flower trees, so that the spiritual energy on the green mountain will gradually become more concentrated.

If Shao Qi finds Qingshan Village now and goes up the mountain, he will definitely be able to find the spirit flower trees and spirit tea trees that she planted.

This is also why Yue Li knew she wouldn't be staying there for long; otherwise, she could have planted the spiritual flowers and herbs she needed on Green Mountain, and wouldn't there have been even more spiritual flowers and herbs on Green Mountain then?

"Your hometown is really nice. There are such good tea trees on the mountain. I must visit your hometown sometime." After hearing Yue Li's words, Shao Qi could tell that she didn't want to say too much.

As he spoke, he drank another cup of herbal tea.

Therefore, one can more clearly feel the health benefits of herbal tea.

It was a feeling of comfort that permeated my entire body, from the inside out, down to the last strand of hair.

Upon hearing Shao Qi's words, Yue Li's expression froze.

However, she quickly realized what she meant and said hesitantly, "Okay, I'll definitely take you to see it when I have time, but you don't need to go this time. It took me more than a month to ride my horse from home to Qingyuan Prefecture. Since you like to drink it, I brought some flower tea and some tea leaves in my bag. I can give you some later, so you don't have to travel so far and pick and make the tea yourself, which is too much trouble."

As she spoke, Yue Li avoided the topic of where she lived.

However, when Yue Li heard Shao Qi mention her hometown, her expression stiffened for a moment. Shao Qi didn't notice, but Jin Chenyuan, who was sitting next to her, saw it clearly.

However, Jin Chenyuan didn't think much of it at the time; he still thought Yue Li was a young girl who had run away from home without her family's knowledge.

As for Shao Qi, who was naturally a bit dim-witted, he didn't think much of it when he heard that Yue Li had already prepared flower tea and tea leaves.

He laughed heartily, "Since you have some, Yue Li, that's perfect. I'd like some flower tea and tea leaves."

Fearing that Yue Li might think he liked to take advantage, Shao Qi continued, "Just tell me how much silver it is, don't be shy."

As he spoke, he looked at Prince Chen, who was sitting on the other side, and asked, "Would you like some?"

Jin Chenyuan had finished the cup of flower tea that had just been refilled. He had naturally experienced the benefits of flower tea. He had originally planned to ask Yue Li where she bought the flower tea so he could buy some himself.

Unexpectedly, she roasted these flower teas herself. Since that's the case, I might as well just buy them from her.

When Yue Li arrives in Kyoto, please take good care of her. If she needs any help, please do your best to assist her.

"I want some too."

After saying that, he added, "I want both flower tea and tea leaves."

The tea was for him and his imperial nephew, while the flower tea was intended for his mother, the current Empress Dowager.
