My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"What is this Grand Immortal Tea? Just a type of tea leaves, yet it possesses celestial grades?"

Gu Lan felt mildly astonished in her heart.

It's worth noting that the ordinary medicinal herbs used for alchemy in the mortal realm, at most, reach the Imperial Grade level.

Celestial-grade divine medicines, such as the Soul Returning Pill and Resurrection Pill he had obtained before, are all miraculous products refined by the changes of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the system rewarded a type of tea, claiming it to be a celestial-grade treasure.

Gu Lan was somewhat surprised.

What kind of tea leaves could be rated as celestial-grade?

Could drinking it make mortals ascend to immortality, or even let celestial-grade beings ascend during broad daylight?

Su Hua didn't notice Gu Lan's distraction and continued to inquire, "So, does this mean you have reached the third realm of tea mastery?"

Gu Lan regained her composure and smiled faintly, "Me? How can there be any realm? I'm just drinking tea to quench my thirst."

Su Hua was initially taken aback, but then his eyes sparkled, and he laughed heartily, "Hahaha, interesting, very interesting! Well said, the most essential purpose of drinking tea is indeed to quench one's thirst. My pursuit of the way of tea has instead fallen into mediocrity! To replace wine with tea, I shall punish myself with a cup!"

Immediately, Su Hua raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Despite feeling refreshed, his expression froze slightly.

Huh? This fellow is peculiar. How did he end up praising me in the midst of the conversation?

Today's discussion of tea mastery is only superficial.

The most important thing is to teach Gu Lan a lesson and restore some pride for his disciples.

The way of tea was just a method he came up with.

However, being misled by Gu Lan's talk of three realms of tea mastery, and worse, Su Hua actually found it reasonable, naturally, he couldn't continue to press the matter further on this front!

However, if the literary arts didn't work, he still had martial ones.

Su Hua formed hand seals within his robe, and an invisible pressure enveloped Gu Lan.

If Gu Lan were an ordinary person or just a talented youth, he would definitely have to endure some suffering, making him refrain from bullying his disciple, Mu Yuyan, in the future.

However!

Su Hua certainly didn't expect that Gu Lan was not only no ordinary person but also had higher cultivation than him!

Gu Lan was momentarily stunned, feeling the light pressure as light as a feather.

It seemed somewhat unbelievable.

Could Grand Tutor really be trying to suppress him? Ha... Haha...

After realizing what was happening, Gu Lan suppressed his amusement and continued to drink his tea with ease.

Seeing the young man in green opposite him, who didn't even flinch, and continued his actions unperturbed, Su Hua was instead perplexed!

He was somewhat incredulous.

The pressure, dense and intense, continued to increase as if he needed to test the depth of this elegant young man before him.

Su Hua's face turned slightly red, but Gu Lan remained unaffected, which made him doubt his own life choices.

How could a casual young scholar be immune to his oppression?

Even if he had some talent in chess, it shouldn't be to this extent!

Unfortunately, inadvertently, this imposing aura affected the palace maid standing nearby, causing her to collapse to the ground in fear with a changed expression.

Su Hua knew he had lost control and quickly restrained his aura.

Meanwhile, Gu Lan pointed at the palace maid, alleviating her discomfort.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Grand Tutor, are you not tired of being so busy, both openly and covertly?"
Your journey continues at empire

As he spoke, a hint of the imperial realm's aura emanated from Gu Lan.

Although his words seemed light, Su Hua felt them resound like a bell in his ears, leaving him momentarily stunned and almost embarrassed!

Fortunately, Gu Lan withdrew his aura in time, coupled with his own Immortal Realm cultivation, which prevented Su Hua from being overly embarrassed.

Of course, Gu Lan wouldn't let him embarrass himself.

After all, he was Madam's teacher, which in turn made him his own teacher.

How could he allow his teacher to lose face?

Bullying the elderly was not good for one's reputation, especially when it came to bullying his students on the dragon bed...

Even so, Su Hua was still astonished, "You... you have long surpassed mortal limitations?! Who are you, and how did you meet Her Majesty?"

As he stood up and gazed at Gu Lan, his awe was almost palpable.

At the same time, there was a hint of concern...

The old man was afraid that his disciple couldn't resist this person at all, and even worried that serving him for over a year was involuntary.

It must be said that the sudden appearance of Gu Lan, a presence that shattered his understanding, made the usually steady Grand Tutor panic and start to think randomly.

At this moment, Gu Lan smiled slightly, "Grand Tutor, calm down... Since Her Majesty has not mentioned me to you, if you truly wish to know, I can tell you now."

Upon hearing these sincere words, Su Hua hesitated once again.

He recalled that Mu Yuyan followed Gu Lan without revealing his identity.

If Mu Yuyan could conceal himself, then it wasn't unreasonable for Gu Lan to hide his cultivation.

With a wry smile, Su Hua waved his hand, "You two are just like, unable to tell big from small?"

"Teacher... You don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I met him, he scared me. Oh right! A few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"

Princess Ming Yue remembered the time she talked behind Gu Lan's back, fearing he would hold her accountable.

She hid behind her teacher, intending to report the bad behavior first...

Gu Lan hadn't spoken yet, and Su Hua frowned, "Ming Yue, this is your sister's husband. How can you be so rude?"

"Teacher... you don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I saw him, he scared me. Oh, and a few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"

Princess Ming Yue recalled the time she spoke ill of Gu Lan behind his back, fearing he would hold her accountable.

She hid behind her teacher, intending to complain first...

Gu Lan hadn't spoken yet, and Su Hua frowned, "Ming Yue, this is your sister's husband. You should show some respect."

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Hua glared at him, saying, "Isn't it because of you that Her Majesty returned to the palace in tears a few days ago?"

"Indeed..." Gu Lan revealed a faint smile.

However, he also reflected inwardly.

It seemed that his actions of teasing Madam a while ago were a bit too much, causing Madam to return to the palace in tears, and even the Grand Tutor knew about it!

Thinking about it, Madam forgave him so quickly.

It seems that being favored by one's spouse made him a bit too presumptuous...

Seeing that the conversation had opened up, Gu Lan seemed to realize his mistake, and Su Hua, after glaring at him unkindly didn't pursue the matter further.

There's a time and place for everything, and sometimes, it's not good for an elder to meddle too much in the affairs of a couple.

Su Hua understood the boundaries well.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

A bright and lively voice sounded from outside the study.

Gu Lan found it somewhat familiar, and the next moment, Princess Ming Yue burst into the room energetically.

Her face was filled with a cheerful smile, clearly having a good time with the eunuchs and palace maids.

She even remembered, for the first time, the need to return to the Eastern Palace to study!

However, the moment she entered the room, Princess Ming Yue's smile froze as she pointed at Gu Lan in astonishment, "Oh! Why are you here?"

Gu Lan had not spoken yet, and Su Hua furrowed his brow, "Ming Yue, this is your elder sister's husband. How can you be so disrespectful?"

"Teacher... you don't know, this guy is really bad. The first time I saw him, he scared me. Oh, and a few days ago, he even bullied my sister!"

Princess Ming Yue remembered the time she spoke ill of Gu Lan behind his back, fearing he would hold her accountable.

She hid behind her teacher, intending to complain first...
