Chapter 1 Ye Yuhang and Li Lizhi's loving and harmonious relationship
Hezhou Prefecture of the Great Tang Dynasty.
The far west is a land synonymous with desolation and sandstorms.
However, hidden deep within these mountains lies a little-known paradise.
It was late spring and early summer.
The valley is filled with fragrant grasses and fallen petals.
Li Lizhi put down the basket in her hand and gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
She slowly raised her head, revealing a face so beautiful it could outshine a hundred flowers in the sunlight.
Her skin was as white as snow, with a natural blush.
Her eyes sparkled with gentleness and tranquility.
"It's been almost ten years..."
Li Lizhi gazed at the distant green mountains, her voice melodious and pleasant.
Her slender fingers gently brushed the stray hairs at her temples, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
The city of Chang'an in its heyday was as prosperous as a dream.
But it also feels like a cage.
That imperial decree was to betroth her to Changsun Chong.
But who could have imagined that the usually gentle and quiet Princess Chang Le...
They actually did something so shocking.
"If I hadn't escaped back then, I'd probably be a resentful woman confined to her chambers by now."
She muttered to herself, a sweet smile unconsciously curving her lips.
Life may be ordinary now, but I have a good partner by my side.
Compared to the prestige within those high walls and grand courtyards,
The warmth and life in this valley is what she longs for.
Outside the manor, a tall, slender figure was busy at work.
Li Lizhi's gaze passed over the fence and gently landed on the person.
That was her husband, Ye Yuhang.
Ten years ago, she escaped from the palace.
He lived in constant fear and anxiety.
In her most helpless moment, this man appeared before her.
He didn't ask about her background, but gently handed her a steaming hot bun.
Ye Yuhang's flirting methods are always so strange yet powerful.
He would tell her strange and wonderful stories that she had never heard before.
He can weave lifelike little rabbits out of foxtail grass.
In just three days, this pampered princess fell for those deep and warm eyes.
"Fool, if you knew I was a princess of the current dynasty..."
Will they still treat me like this?
Li Lizhi pursed her cherry-like lips and chuckled softly.
She kept this secret for ten years.
Using the alias Li Le'er, she lived in seclusion in this deep valley of Hezhou.
She became his wife.
At this moment, Ye Yuhang was squatting on the ground.
He was fiddling with a strangely shaped wooden frame.
That thing has two wheels, connected by a lever and a chain in the middle.
If the artisans of Chang'an were here, they would be utterly astonished.
Because this thing completely violated the common sense of carpentry at the time.
"Phew, this 'bicycle' is almost finished."
Ye Yuhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
A sense of accomplishment welled up within him.
Although iron and steel were scarce, the Mo family's mechanical arts were truly amazing.
Using hardwood and a special mortise and tenon structure, it perfectly recreates the structure of modern machinery.
Ye Yuhang is not a person of this era.
Ten years ago, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty with something called the "God-Level Seclusion System".
The system gave him his first task.
The only way to activate subsequent rewards is to marry a wife and live in seclusion.
The moment I met Li Le'er on Chang'an Street,
He knew then that she was the one for him.
"The system wasn't lying to me; this life is definitely much better than the 996 work schedule in modern times."
Ye Yuhang stood up and stretched.
Over the course of ten years, as his reclusive life deepened,
The system issues countless rewards.
From miraculous medical techniques that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, to improved high-yield grain seeds.
From unparalleled martial arts that can strengthen the body to the exquisite and ingenious mechanical and miscellaneous arts of the Mohist school.
This seemingly ordinary manor is actually armed to the teeth.
Although the valley was peaceful and spring-like, Ye Yuhang was not completely unaware of the outside world.
Hezhou was located on the frontier, and the Turks and Tibetans frequently invaded its territory.
At such times, he would occasionally come down from the mountain.
Put on the mask and become an unsung hero.
Relying on the skills bestowed upon him by the system
They slaughtered the barbarians, striking fear into their hearts, and protected the peace and tranquility of the people in this region.
"Father! Father!"
A childish and clear voice interrupted Ye Yuhang's thoughts.
A little girl with two pigtails came skipping and hopping out of the inner courtyard.
That was his youngest daughter, Ye Qingwan.
"Look, this is a surprise from your father."
Ye Yuhang crouched down and caught the little dumpling that pounced on him.
His eyes became extremely doting as he gently stroked his daughter's little nose.
"Is this the... bicycle that Daddy was talking about?"
Ye Qingwan's big eyes sparkled.
She curiously circled the wooden cart, her little hands unable to resist touching the round wheels.
"Come, let Daddy teach you."
Ye Yuhang smiled as he lifted his daughter into the specially made car seat.
He added two small training wheels to both sides of the rear wheel to ensure the child wouldn't fall.
"Oh! It moved! Daddy, look, it moved!"
Ye Qingwan clumsily pedaled, and the wheels rolled slowly across the flat courtyard.
Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, carrying far through the silent valley.
Ye Yuhang crouched down, his hands resting lightly on his daughter's back.
He patiently corrected her posture, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.
"Have some tea. You've been busy all morning, aren't you tired?"
Li Lizhi walked over gracefully, carrying a white jade porcelain cup.
She stood beside Ye Yuhang and held the teacup to his lips.
Ye Yuhang took a big gulp from his wife's hand.
The sweet tea soothed my throat and dispelled the midday heat.
He looked at Li Lizhi's stunningly beautiful face so close to his own and couldn't help but sniffle.
"It smells so good!"
Ye Yuhang chuckled, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
He deliberately moved closer to savor the refreshing fragrance.
"Husband, don't talk nonsense, the child is still here."
Li Lizhi blushed and gave him a coquettish glare.
She put down her cup and walked behind Ye Yuhang.
She stretched out her delicate fingers and gently massaged his shoulders.
"This is the 'perfume' you gave me the other day, have you forgotten?"
Li Lizhi spoke softly, her breath tinged with shyness.
That perfume was made by Ye Yuhang using the essence of hundreds of flowers from the mountains.
The flavor was long-lasting and delicate, just what she wanted.
"Since you like it, I'll make you a few different scents later."
Ye Yuhang grasped that soft, boneless little hand in return.
With a little effort, he pulled Li Lizhi even closer.
"If we match well, is there a reward tonight?"
Ye Yuhang lowered his voice and breathed hot air into Li Lizhi's ear.
"You... think about these things all day long."
Li Lizhi was so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
She looked around and saw her daughter concentrating on riding her bike.
She quickly kissed Ye Yuhang on the cheek.
"I'll make you braised pork tonight, is that alright?"
She blushed and whispered her promise.
That shy and timid little woman's appearance
Ye Yuhang felt a burning desire in his lower abdomen, wishing it were already late at night.
"Ahem, by the way, where's that girl Lingyu?"
Ye Yuhang suppressed the romantic feelings in his heart and looked around.
