Chapter 268 The Tenderness of the Harem
The three of them were chatting when Liu Neng suddenly slapped his forehead with a look of annoyance on his face:
"Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter! Today is the day when Yutian, the fourth son of the Zhao family in the village, is getting married. As Yutian's former father-in-law, I have to go and help arrange things!"
As he said that, Liu Neng stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Li Tian:
"Son-in-law, I wanted to chat with you more, but I can't get away from this. You finally came back, so you have to stay for a while. When I'm done with this, we can have a couple of drinks together!"
Li Tian also stood up with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Liu, please take care of your business. When you are free, we can have a good gathering together."
Liu Neng walked to the door and turned back with a concerned look on his face:
"By the way, son-in-law, you and Liu Ying must take care of each other in the palace. If she does something immature, you should be more tolerant and don't get angry with her."
Li Tian nodded quickly, his eyes full of seriousness:
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Liu Ying."
Only then did Liu Neng smile with satisfaction, turned around and walked out the door.
After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back.
Liu Neng took out a handful of melon seeds he had grown at home from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Tian's hand:
"These are the melon seeds that my family grows. Take them and eat them for fun when you have free time."
Li Tian took the melon seeds and was deeply moved:
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. Please go quickly and don't delay the important work."
Liu Neng waved his hand and strode towards Zhao Si's house.
As he walked, he hummed a little tune, looking so proud, as if the whole world was under his control.
Looking at Liu Neng's departing back, a warm smile appeared on Li Tian's face.
He turned around and went back into the house, sat down again, and continued chatting with Li Fu and Xie Da Jiao about the little things that had happened over the years.
Inside the house, the warm atmosphere became more and more intense.
Outside the house, Liu Neng's figure gradually disappeared at the corner of the village, leaving only a string of hearty laughter echoing in the air.
After Liu Neng left, Xie Da Jiao quickly got up to prepare food for Li Tian, with a doting smile on her face:
"Li Tian, wait, I will cook your favorite dish for you."
While Xie Da Jiao was cooking, Li Tian and Li Fu talked about their experiences over the years.
Li Fu listened with great interest, sighing from time to time, his face full of satisfaction:
"Li Tian, you have grown up and become successful. Please take care of the people coming from Earth Star."
Li Tian nodded seriously, his expression firm:
"Uncle, don't worry, I remember everything."
After a while, Xie Da Jiao came out with a table full of steaming food.
"Quick, try my cooking and see if it has improved."
Li Tian picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth. The familiar taste instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face:
"It still tastes the same, so delicious. Auntie's cooking skills haven't changed at all."
At the dinner table, the three of them were talking and laughing, reminiscing about the past, and a warm atmosphere filled the entire grocery store.
The laughter and joy at the dinner table gradually came to an end, and Li Tian knew that it was time to return home.
He bid farewell to Li Fu and Xie Da Jiao reluctantly, and rushed back to the palace with a heart full of warmth and memories.
As he stepped into the palace gate, the familiar palace walls and palaces came into view, but Li Tian did not slack off at all and walked straight towards the harem.
Before he reached the bedroom, he heard a burst of laughter. It was his concubines playing around.
When I walked into the bedroom, the first person I saw was Li Nan. She was sitting together with several other women from Earth, embroidering.
Li Nan looked up and saw Li Tian. His eyes lit up with surprise and he stood up and walked towards him quickly:
"Li Tian, you're finally back!"
The other concubines also stood up and saluted.
Li Tian smiled and nodded to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and looked at Li Nan gently:
"Have you been good when I'm not around?"
Li Nan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you still treat me like a child."
At this time, Li Qiuge came forward and hugged Li Tian's arm:
"Li Tian, you didn't even come to see us when you came back. You're just busy. Tell us quickly, what interesting things happened outside the small world?"
Li Tian sat down with a smile and told them about his experiences in the world of Da Chu.
Several people listened with great interest, exclaiming and laughing from time to time.
"Li Tian, is Liu Ruyan really that good? She's still an empress! Will she give up the throne to you?"
Xie Xiaomei asked curiously.
Li Tian nodded slightly, with some emotion on his face:
"Liu Ruyan is indeed a remarkable woman. She is extremely intelligent and cares about the world. For her, the position of empress is a heavy responsibility. She gave the throne to me so that Da Chu can have a better development. She believes that I can lead Da Chu to prosperity."
Li Qiuge curled her lips and pretended to be jealous:
"Hmph, you put it so well, the Empress tastes different, right?"
Li Tian smiled and scratched her nose:
"What are you thinking about in your little head? In my heart, you are all people I care about."
At this time, Wang Xiaomeng, who had been sitting quietly beside him, spoke softly:
"Li Tian, from what you've said, the world outside is so complicated. You must be careful when you are out there."
Li Tian looked at Wang Xiaomeng, his eyes full of tenderness and gratitude:
"Don't worry, Xiao Meng, I will take good care of myself and won't let you worry."
As he was speaking, Su Yuhong came over gracefully, holding a cup of tea.
She gently placed the teacup on the table with a faint smile on her lips:
"Li Tian, you've been traveling all the way, drink some tea to moisten your throat first."
Li Tian took the teacup and nodded slightly to show his gratitude.
Su Yuhong sat down beside him, her eyes full of curiosity:
"Li Tian, you just talked about the events of Da Chu. What happened next? Why did you come back to our little world?"
Li Tian took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"I arrived in the Great Chu World and couldn't contact the Small World, so I stayed there temporarily. As soon as I contacted the Small World, I'll come back to see you."
Wang Xiangxiu blinked and interrupted curiously:
"So what is the difference between the Great Chu world and our world? Tell us about it quickly."
Li Tian put down the teacup, thought for a moment and then spoke:
"The architectural style of the Great Chu is majestic, with towering palaces and flying eaves and brackets, which is completely different from the exquisite elegance of our small world. Their clothing is also more gorgeous, with bright colors and many accessories."
Liu Ying couldn't wait to ask again:
"What about the people of Da Chu? Are their personalities different from ours?"
Li Tian smiled and explained patiently:
"The people of Da Chu are similar to us, there are good people and bad people, but the world where Da Chu is located is full of immortal cultivators, and even a palace maid is in the Jindan stage."
Wang Xiaomeng held his chin with his hand, thinking:
"It sounds interesting, but our little world is more reassuring. With you here, life is more stable."
Everyone is immersed in the reverie of the Great Chu world.
Li Tian looked around at the concubines around him tenderly:
"I haven't been with you all this time, so I'll spend some time with you all today."
When Li Qiuge heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she pulled Li Tian's arm and acted coquettishly:
"Then my dear Majesty, you must have fun with us. We haven't had this much fun in a long time."
So Li Tian accompanied the concubines in strolling in the garden, admiring the flowers blooming in spring.
Li Nan would pick a small flower from time to time and gently insert it into Li Tian's hair, causing everyone to laugh.
Passing by a pond, Wang Xiangxiu pointed at the water excitedly:
"Look, there are fish!"
Li Tian smiled, squatted down, picked up a small stone and threw it gently. The stone made a series of ripples on the water, which made the concubines applaud.
After playing for a while, everyone returned to the bedroom to rest.
Li Tian leaned on the couch, Li Qiuge rested her head on his legs, and became quiet like a child.
Su Yuhong sat aside and gently made tea for everyone.
After resting for a while, Li Tian thought of his children.
He whispered to the concubines:
"I haven't seen my children for some time. I want to go see them."
The concubines nodded in agreement.
Accompanied by everyone, Li Tian came to the children's residence.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the children's cheerful laughter.
When they saw Li Tian, the children gathered around him and called him "Father" affectionately.
Li Tian squatted down and held the youngest child in his arms, his eyes full of love:
"My dear children, do you miss your father?"
The children talked about their interesting stories one after another. Some said they had learned new poems, and some said they had practiced new magic skills with their masters.
Looking at the innocent appearance of the children, Li Tian felt very relieved.
He listened to the children's stories patiently and gave encouragement and praise from time to time.
Then he played games with the children and taught them some interesting tricks. For a while, the room was filled with laughter.
As it was getting dark, Li Tian said goodbye to the children.
In the following days, Li Tian traveled back and forth in the harem, comforting all the women before returning to the world of Da Chu.
