(Added to Ling Fanmeng's bounty!)
"Haha! Mencius once said, 'When the heavens are about to bestow a great responsibility upon a great man, they must first torment his will, toil his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin!' Marquis Yong 'an, we greatly admire your teachings ~! "
Coincidentally, Li Zexuan had just finished lecturing his students when Li Er arrived on horseback, laughing loudly.
Behind him were the empress, princes, princesses, and civil and military officials!
Li Zexuan was startled. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "This subject, Li Zexuan, respectfully welcomes Your Majesty!"
The students of Yanhuang College and the citizens of Lantian County who had come to plant trees all hurriedly followed suit and bowed, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
There were quite a few people here, numbering at least a few thousand. Their voices were like a large bell, resounding through the clouds.
Li Er loved the feeling of being supported by the people. After all, which emperor didn't have a bit of vanity? He raised his hands with a smile and said, "Rise! Today is Tree Planting Day set by the imperial court. We are gratified that you can come here to plant trees ~! "
The citizens of Lantian County were only willing to plant trees because Li Zexuan had been promoting tree planting recently. Now that they heard Li Er's words, it was as if they had been conferred the title of Marquis. They were so excited that they didn't know where to put their hands!
One had to know that the other party was the Emperor of Great Tang! The Emperor of Great Tang had actually personally praised them. How could they not be excited ~?
As for the students of Yanhuang College, each of them held their heads high. Li Er was the dean of Yanhuang College in name. Today's praise made them, the Emperor's students, very proud. At this time, there were no longer any students who were unwilling to plant trees!
"Haha! Continue! Continue to plant trees! "
Li Er said to the citizens on the shore. He then turned to Dugu Xin and ordered, "Men, distribute saplings and tools to the officials!"
"Yes, sir!"
Dugu Xin accepted the order and left.
At this time, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle also walked down from the imperial carriage. Changle smiled and said, "Imperial Father, Changle also wants to plant trees! Mother's health isn't good, so I'll help her plant Changle! "
Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun's eyes were full of love, "Changle, my body has been nourished for a winter. How can I be as delicate as you say? You, go plant trees with Chengqian and the others. Don't tire yourself out! Imperial Mother will plant it with your Imperial Father! "
It was now the end of March. During the day, it was not as cold as before. It was because of this that Li Er dared to let Empress Zhangsun leave the palace. Otherwise, her illness would easily relapse.
On the other hand, not only was Changle's Qi completely cured, but she also had Daoist Genuine Qi in her body. Her physique was much better than before. Li Er was completely relieved about this!
"Yes! Changle, go plant trees with Chengqian. Your Imperial Mother has Imperial Father! "
Li Er smiled.
His face was full of love!
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Changle went to find Li Chengqian and the others.
After a while, the civil and military officials were each given a shovel and three saplings. Seeing that the Emperor and Empress had personally planted the trees, what else could the ministers say? They all began to look for a place to plant the trees in groups of three or five!
"Little Xuan, what's the name of your new book? After today's court session, I came straight here. I really didn't have time to read it! "
The two siblings, Li Chengqian and Changle, insisted on teaming up with Li Zexuan to plant trees. The former was there to "hug his thigh" and "be a bystander", while the latter …
While planting trees, Li Chengqian asked quietly.
He and Changle were among the few people who knew Leather Knight's true identity!
"Chengqian, when you go back later, get someone to buy you the latest Talking Big World, and you'll find out!"
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Without a doubt, he would be the one digging the tree holes. Li Chengqian was weak and could not be counted on. As for Changle … forget it. He could not bear to let the little girl do such menial work!
Li Chengqian giggled. "Heh! I can't wait anymore, can I? In the end, this is still your fault. It would have been fine if you released the new book a few days earlier or a few days later. Why did you have to do it today? By the time the officials finish planting the trees, it would be noon when they go back! "
It would have been better if he did not say anything. Now that he said it, Li Zexuan was even more depressed! Because he did not have to release the new book today! All of this was "arranged" by Ma Zhou. For this reason, he stayed up half the night!
"As the Empire's Crown Prince, how can Chengqian lose your will? Here, you dig the hole. Changle and I will help you hold the tree! "
Li Zexuan straightened his back and handed the shovel to Li Chengqian with a straight face.
There were only two trees left. No matter how slow Li Chengqian dug, he could finish before noon.
"Uh …"
Li Chengqian was instantly dumbfounded.
Changle could not help but giggle. "Hehe! Good, good! Brother Crown Prince, come and dig the hole! Brother Little Xuan and I will help you hold the tree! "
The Taoist True Qi in the little girl's body not only nourished her body, it also made her complexion look many times better than before. At this moment, when she smiled, there was a kind of breathtaking charm!
Li Zexuan was only dazed for a moment before he came back to his senses.
Li Chengqian pretended to be angry. "Good! Changle! You actually joined forces with Little Xuan to bully your own brother! Let's see if I still send good things to Changle Palace in the future! "
Changle smiled. "Brother Crown Prince won't! Changle knows that Brother Crown Prince treats Changle the best! "
Alright, with the little girl's words, what else could Li Chengqian say? He shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and began to dig the hole!
"Eh? Brilliant, you haven't finished planting the trees at your door? "
After a while, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Li Tai walked over with shovels. The three of them were in a group previously.
"Not yet! Chou Niu, Baolin, Qing Que, you guys finished planting so quickly? "
Li Chengqian raised his head and said in surprise.
He had heard from Li Zexuan that each student of the academy was given at least eight saplings. If Cheng Chumo and the others were in a group of three, that would be twenty-four saplings. It wouldn't be easy to finish planting all of them!
"Haha! What's this? A mere twenty-something saplings aren't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Oh, right! Brilliant, have you read Leather Knight's new book? "
Cheng Chumo smirked and asked again.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Not yet!"
Cheng Chumo said regretfully, "Sigh! Then forget it! "
After saying that, he turned to Li Zexuan and said, "Yamachō, Qing Que, Baolin, and I have finished planting the trees, so we'll be returning to the academy first! This time, I might be able to learn something from Leather Knight's new book. When the time comes, I, Cheng Chumo, might be able to become a god with one book! Haha! "
Li Zexuan didn't know where this idiot's confidence came from. He thought for a while and said, "Chumo, on next year's Arbor Day, I want to plant a tree in your heart!"
Cheng Chumo was stunned and asked, "What?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "The name of that tree is called the Force Tree!"
Cheng Chumo was still confused, "What do you mean?"
Li Zexuan said unhappily, "I want you to know the force in your heart! You want to write a novel? You better pass all the subjects first! "
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yuchi Baolin burst into laughter. Li Zexuan was too "funny"!
Changle's face was red. She wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so. She thought to herself, "Brother Xiaoxuan is usually full of talent and is like a gentleman. I didn't expect him to make such a joke. Although this joke is crude, it sounds really funny!"
"F * ck! Xiaoxuan, are you scolding me? Ah! "
