After a day of recuperation, Nangong Xu's complexion recovered a lot, and he faintly felt that his internal strength seemed to be about to break through again because he was no longer suppressed by toxins.

"Ali, I have something good to tell you."

Nangong Xu leaned against the wall of the cave, while Dongfang Li lay on the ground covered with hay, her head resting on his thigh.

"Okay, let's talk about it?"

Dongfang Li turned around and directly met Nangong Xu's gaze.

"My internal strength seems to have improved a bit."

In fact, more than just being more diligent, now he only feels that his meridians have expanded a lot.

"This is a good thing, but I'm afraid you can't rush to cultivate your internal strength now, because your body's condition has just stabilized. If your internal strength suddenly improves, the potency of the medicine will be dispersed, which is not conducive to your future recovery, and it may also easily lead to immunity from all poisons. Failed. In addition, the meridians have just expanded now and need to be cultivated. Only when the meridians are stable can we practice again."

While Dongfang Li was talking, he played with Nangong Xu's big hands, and from time to time he put his small hands together with his big hands to compare their sizes.

"Okay, I'll listen to Ali."

Nangong Xu allowed her to manipulate him, with only pampering in his eyes.

"Let's go back tomorrow. We've been out for so long, and the person in the palace will probably go crazy with anxiety."

Dongfang Li couldn't help but frowned when he thought of the people and things he might face when he went back.

"That's his business, Ali doesn't need to worry about it, we just need to live our lives."

Nangong Xu rubbed Dongfang Li's head.

"I want to live a stable life, but I'm afraid some people won't. I don't know how the herbs in the back mountain are doing. I was in such a hurry when I left this time that I forgot to look."

"Don't worry, I went to take a look for you. Some of the cold-resistant ones are growing very well, and others have also sprouted."

"Really? When did you go to see it? Why didn't I know?"

Dongfang Li started cooking at once, looking at Nangong Xu with stars in his eyes.

"I know you care about them the most, so I naturally want to take good care of them for you."

Nangong Xu looked at Dongfang Li with a smile.

"Although I agree with your approach, there is one thing that the prince has misunderstood."

"what?"

"What I care about most is not those medicinal materials... but you - Nangong Xu."

Dongfang Li said, wrapping his arms around Nangong Xu's neck, his eyes facing each other, only seeing each other...

On the way back to the imperial capital, Nangong Xu bought a carriage. Although it was not as low-key and luxurious as the sandalwood carriage in the palace, it could be said to be full of taste.

The compartment of the carriage was covered with fur mats, and the small compartments around it were filled with pastries and some local specialties.

Dongfang Li sat on the mat, eating snacks and watching Nangong Xu making tea, feeling very comfortable.

"What kind of fragrance did you light today? I haven't smelled it before."

"This is made by local people, using fresh flower juice mixed with seasonal fruits. I looked at it and thought you might like it, so I bought it for you to try."

Nangong Xu served the first cup of tea in front of Dongfang Li.

"Ali, try it. This tea is also unique to the local area. The tea leaves are fried with the freshest flowers. After several times of frying and drying, the tea leaves will be dyed with the fragrance of flowers."

"Really? Then I'm going to have a good taste."

Dongfang Li's eyes lit up, and the first thing that came to mind was a tea called "Xiang Ming" that he drank in his previous life.

"Hmm... the taste is pretty good, but it's still a little bit off."

"How to say?"

Nangong Xu picked up the cup and tasted it briefly. The fresh tea flavor, with a faint floral aroma, tasted really good.

"Since we have chosen to use fresh flowers for frying, we must do it to the extreme. This tea is probably only fried three times, so the floral aroma is very light, but it still retains a lot of tea aroma and green tea flavor. , but if this tea is repeatedly fried three or four times, the floral aroma will become more intense, the tea aroma will remain, and the green tea taste and bitterness will be dissipated."

Dongfang Li took another sip, shook his head, put down the tea cup, and pushed it away.

"But if it is fried too many times, won't the flavor of the tea be masked?"

Seeing that Dongfang Li didn't like it, Nangong Xu threw away the tea leaves, replaced it with the tea she usually liked, boiled water again, and brewed it.

"It depends on the skill of the tea fryer. If the skill is good, you can naturally fry tea with both floral and tea aromas. If the skill is not good, you can only regret the tea."

Dongfang Li naturally saw Nangong Xu pouring and changing the tea, but she didn't say anything. He pampered his own woman. Nangong Xu had always done a good job in this regard. Moreover, he wanted to pamper himself, and she Naturally, it is impossible to stop...

imperial capital.

In Prince Xu's Mansion, Nangong Xu and Dongfang Li took a comfortable bath and had a meal, and then took Lightning to the back mountain.

"This batch of medicine is growing very well. Based on the current situation, it is estimated that we will be self-sufficient with these medicinal materials in just one year."

Dongfang Li looked at the growing medicinal herbs and felt very good.

"Ali is awesome."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

Dongfang Li looked at Nangong Xu with a smile, then bent down and patted Ling Ling's forehead.

"Let's go back and have a good rest. I'll probably have to go to the palace tomorrow."

"You are really disappointing, can't you just make me happy for a little longer."

"Happy opportunities lie behind."

Nangong Xu glanced at Dongfang Li mysteriously, but the latter suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing behind her, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"What's wrong? Is it cold?"

As Nangong Xu said this, he took off his robe and put it on Dongfang Li.

A faint medicinal fragrance, mixed with rosin, floated in. Dongfang Li lowered his head and smiled lightly.

As Nangong Xu expected, Li Xi came to Prince Xu's Mansion early the next morning with the palace's oral instructions.

"My servant wishes you well, the prince, and wishes you well, the princess."

Li Xi looked at Nangong Xu with a smile, his face full of flattery.

"Eunuch Li came here early in the morning. I wonder what the king's orders are?"

Nangong Xu lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, not paying any attention to Li Xi, the popular person next to the king.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty heard that you and the princess came back from a trip. He thought that he had no chance to travel, and he was very envious..."

"is it?"

"Of course... of course... How dare I make such a joke with you, right?"

Li Xi bowed his body and smiled in apology.

"Then please wait a moment, Eunuch Li. The king and the princess have not had breakfast yet. We cannot let the king and the princess go to see the king hungry."

"Yes, yes, you and the princess will eat first, and the servant will be waiting for you."

In the side hall.

"My lord, are you really okay with this..."
