"Mr. Luo, please wait here for a mont," Li Shun seed unable to wait any longer, bowed to you, and then left.
"Red beans born in the south, how many branches grow in spring. May you pick more, this thing is most reminiscent." Just as you were closing your eyes to rest, a familiar male voice ca from behind you.
You turned towards the voice and saw Li Shimin approaching in a Golden Dragon Robe, his face carrying a leisurely and contented smile. You naturally wanted to kneel in greeting, but Li Shimin spoke to excuse you from the courtesy, "Do you know why I chose this place to et with you?"
"This place is very tranquil, with birdsong and fragrant flowers, allowing one to feel at ease and free from worldly distractions, refreshing both mind and spirit. I think, uncle, you often co here to clear your mind."
You are astute. Since Li Shimin used "I" to refer to himself, it was clear he did not want you to address him in the formal manner of sovereign and subject, therefore you reciprocated with "I."
"Smart, you have your father’s cleverness, but you are much more cunning than him. However, uncle likes that," Li Shimin laughed heartily. At that mont, a few palace maids brought tea, then quickly left, leaving no one else within a hundred ters, "Sit, since you call uncle, there’s no need for formality in my presence."
"Yes."
Following his words, you and Li Shimin sat facing each other, each lifting a cup and draining it in one gulp.
"I heard that just a few months ago, you were downhearted and indulged in wine and pleasures. Why such a sudden change after waking from your stupor?"
You paused, then said directly, "These past three years I’ve been mired in pain, too self-absorbed and selfish. I’m not living just for myself; my father, my mother, and my elder brother have always cared deeply for . I cannot let my own pain cause them any guilt or sorrow, so I had to pull myself together. Besides, uncle, you said it yourself, I am the son of the Great Tang Marshal Luo Cheng, a tiger does not father a dog!"
"Well said! ’A tiger does not father a dog!’ For that statent alone, cheers!" Li Shimin was in high spirits today, and you seed to have misunderstood his intention for inviting you; he rely wanted to drink and chat.
After a few more drinks, seeing Li Shimin so enthusiastic, you took out the telescope you had made. Li Shimin, curious, asked, "What are you doing with a bamboo tube?"
"Uncle, this is no ordinary bamboo tube. I call it a telescope; through it, everything within a hundred ters appears as if it’s right before your eyes."
"Really!?" Li Shimin took the telescope imdiately upon hearing this and, after a brief explanation from you, began eagerly peering through it. After a long look, he exclaid in amazent, "This device is of great use!"
"Uncle is perceptive!" You sent a flattering remark his way.
After Li Shimin had eagerly toyed with the telescope for a while, he looked at you with an intensity that sent chills down your spine. You swallowed nervously, saying, "Uncle, what is it..."
"Hehe, I’m finding myself liking you Luo boys more and more, well done! Co, another drink!"
"Oh."
You downed another glass, and after a few more glasses of Sanle Sauce, you felt the room begin to spin. You were not good with alcohol to begin with, and after several rounds with Li Shimin, you started feeling woozy.
"What’s this? I was just praising you, and now you’re acting the fool?"
"Who, who said that? Who am I? I am Li—no, Luo Yun!" Your words were slurred, and you began to talk nonsense.
"Good, then let’s drink another!"
You couldn’t rember how many drinks you had, nor how you got ho, only that you drank a lot, a lot with Li Shimin. When you woke up, you opened your eyes to see Little Yue’er’s rosy little face very close to yours, so close that puckering your lips would have allowed you to kiss those tender, peach-like cheeks.
"Second Young Master, you’re awake." Little Yue tried to get up but was embraced tightly in your arms.
"Second Young Master." Little Yue called out crisply without resistance, though she looked sowhat nervous.
"My Little Yue’er, while I was sleeping just now, did you sneak a kiss on ?" you asked shalessly.
"No, no I didn’t." Little Yue’s face turned bright red, looking guilty as a thief.
"No? Well, that’s okay. You can make up for it now. Here, kiss here." Saying this, you tilted your left cheek up.
"I, I..."
"Not going to kiss , huh? Then I’ll just keep holding you like this. When Cui’er cos in, I’ll tell her we’ve already slept together," you chuckled, a sleazy grin on your face.
Little Cui, that girl is a super loudspeaker and a gossip aficionado. Any emotion she knew wouldn’t take half a day before the whole Luo Mansion buzzed with rumors. Without a second thought, Little Yue hurriedly kissed your cheek, but she aid wrong. You sneaky, you turned your head at the last mont, resulting in a lip-to-lip encounter.
"Ah!"
Coincidentally, just at that mont, Cui’er peeked her head in rather clumsily and witnessed the passionate scene unfold.
She cried out, instinctively startled, only to be t with a fierce glare from you.
Cui’er’s interruption broke Yue’er’s composure, her face blushing, she hurriedly pulled away and scurried to her quarter.
You glared at Cui’er with an annoyed face and then put on a lecherous expression, "Since you’ve seen it, I might as well take you too."
"No!"
Watching Cui’er sprint out like a frightened squirrel, you shook your head amusedly and leaped out of bed. You found it strange that waking up from a drunken stupor left you without any side effects, but later credited "The Eight Gates of Heaven" for this.
As Little Yue helped you freshen up, you again teased her with flowery words, turning her face a deeper shade of red as she protested softly.
As for why you teased Little Yue, you really didn’t know yourself.
It seed as if fate destined you to tease her, possess her, and have her beco your most intimate person.
At that thought, you were suddenly startled!
This is the power of order!
That is to say, from the beginning to the end, all your actions were guided by the power of order!
From Yue’er’s mouth, you learned that you were brought ho by Li Shun. Apparently, you also managed to get Li Shimin drunk, and both of you even sang the national and military anthems together.
The singing was as loud as it was terrible. However, Luo Cheng and Luo Xin, who returned from court this morning, seed in very good spirits. Luo Xin even instructed Little Yue to have you visit the main hall first when you woke up.
