Chapter 2810: Tea Ceremony _1

The humiliated Xue Ke, pouting, was about to leave, "Father... father emperor, I really won't deal with you anymore!"

Seeing this, Xue Ye reached out to stop her, "Wait a moment, Xue Ke…"

Although Xue Ke obediently stopped in her tracks, she spoke in an unconvinced tone, "Father emperor, even if you want to separate me from Xu Sheng, I won't agree to it!"

"I like him, I really like him a lot!"

These words made Xue Ye show a helpless expression, "Silly child, when did I say I wanted to separate you and Xu Sheng??"

I clearly didn't say anything!

Xue Ke's brain froze for a moment; she had prepared how to persuade the other, but she didn't expect such a response!

Quite confused, she said, "Eh?? You came to find me specifically, Father Emperor, isn't it because the status gap between Xu Sheng and me is too big, so you disagree with us being together?"

Xue Ye feigned a saddened look, "Would your father emperor obstruct you from pursuing the person you like just because of a status gap??"

What kind of bewitching drug had Xu Sheng given Xue Ke for her to love him to such an extent!

Quite a bit as if she would sever ties if opposed!

Hearing this, Xue Ke appeared somewhat at a loss, "Father... Father Emperor, I'm... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"

Feeling her cheeks burning hot with embarrassment from what she had just said...

Xue Ye waved his hand to show he didn't mind and sighed, "It doesn't matter, it's also my fault for not making myself clear."

"However, on another note, I actually think you and that Xu Sheng are quite well-matched??"

That Xu Sheng possesses Innate Soul Power Level Ninety and is bound to become one of the strongest on the Continent in the future!

Such a person, if they were to become a member of the Tian Dou Imperial Family, it would absolutely be advantageous and harmless!!

Xue Ke, as if hearing some tremendous news, excitedly said, "Eh?? But... But his status is just that of my brother's servant, Father Emperor, do you truly not object?"

Xue Ye did not answer but instead asked her, "What about it, weren't you just confidently declaring your love for Xu Sheng? Why start wavering now?"

She quickly shook her head, "No... That's not it, I just think being with Xu Sheng might affect the royal household's face!"

"So..."

Although she liked Xu Sheng, she didn't want to bring shame to the royal household because of it!!

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye also understood her concerns...

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Xue Ke, you're actually worried that being with Xu Sheng will affect the royal household's face, haha…"

Xue Ke looked at him uncomprehendingly, "Father Emperor, what's so funny about that?"

Xue Ye took a deep breath, "Have you forgotten that I am the Emperor of the Tian Dou Empire? If it's about the difference in status, I can grant him the highest status!"

"With that in mind, would you still fear affecting the royal household's face??"

In an instant, a sharp light shone in Xue Ke's eyes, "Right... Right!!"

The problem she worried about didn't exist at all!!

From now on, she could pursue Xu Sheng without any reservations!

Seeing her realize this, Xue Ye said again, "If you truly like Xu Sheng, then go after him with all your might! I will support you!"

Xue Ke immediately fist-bumped in thanks, "Thank you, Father Emperor!"

After a pause, she hesitated slightly, "But Father Emperor, I have one more question I want to ask you!"

Xue Ye stood with his hands clasped behind his back and indifferently said, "Whatever you wish to say, don't hesitate to speak!"

Without dawdling, Xue Ke asked, "Xu Sheng seems to have left the imperial palace; do you know where he went?"

Xue Ye was taken aback for a moment and pondered, "Regarding this matter, I am not clear, perhaps Qing He might know!"

Honestly, he had indeed learned that Xu Sheng had left the imperial palace, but he had not paid it much attention!

```

Now it seems, they have no intention of returning to the imperial palace!

"I see, then I will go and ask my brother once more,"

Xue Ke's face also showed deep disappointment...

She had asked Xue Qinghe before but received no concrete answers!

It was likely that another visit would result in the same response!

...

The following day, Xue Qinghe arrived at Moon Pavilion surrounded by many Sky Dou Empire soldiers...

As the Chief of Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua naturally came out to greet them...

You should know that normally, the former's visits to Moon Pavilion were very low-key, and such a sight was rarely seen!

She was the first to speak, "Crown Prince, it is remiss of me not to have greeted you from afar!"

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "No need to be so courteous, Tang Xuanzhu. I hope my sudden visit does not disturb you today!"

Because her lessons at Moon Pavilion were all arranged in advance and were personally taught by Tang Yuehua, aside from these days, she usually wouldn't visit Moon Pavilion!

Tang Yuehua shook her head and invited, "Not at all, Crown Prince. Let us talk inside!"

Xue Qinghe glanced back at the soldiers, signaling them to stay put...

Then, he followed Tang Yuehua into Moon Pavilion...

...

Tang Yuehua gracefully brewed a pot of tea for herself and Xue Qinghe before opening the conversation, "Crown Prince, I presume your visit today is not for the purpose of learning etiquette, is it?"

Xue Qinghe did not reply, his gaze focused intently on the teacup...

This scene left Tang Yuehua puzzled, prompting her to remind him again, "Crown Prince?"

Xue Qinghe then came to his senses, with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Tang Xuanzhu, I was a bit distracted!"

Now with curiosity, Tang Yuehua asked, "Crown Prince, I see you've been staring at the teacup. Is there something strange about it?"

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and replied earnestly, "To be honest, my visit today is to learn about the art of tea from Tang Xuanzhu!"

Tang Yuehua, slightly astonished, asked, "The art of tea? Why do you wish to learn this, Crown Prince?"

Although unclear about the motive, she surmised that the former might have been attentively observing how she brewed the tea!

Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled for an instant, he quietly said, "Actually, my teacher once reminded me that to become more excellent, one cannot be versed only in a single area of knowledge!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua mused, "A teacher? Do you refer to Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"

She had heard that Ning Fengzhi had agreed to serve as his teacher!

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "That's right! The person serving as my teacher is Sect Master Ning."

"Therefore, regarding tea ceremony knowledge, I ask Tang Xuanzhu for your generous instruction!!"

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua naturally could not refuse.

She proposed, "Since the Crown Prince has personally requested, naturally I won't refuse. However, the knowledge of the tea ceremony is vast and cannot be mastered overnight.

"How about this, when the Crown Prince comes to learn etiquette, why not learn the art of tea at the same time, how does that sound?"

Xue Qinghe promptly agreed, "Thank you, Tang Xuanzhu. That's decided then!"

His studying of the art of tea was not out of interest, but as a means to get closer to Xue Ye!!
