Chapter 98:
Su Li gave a small smile and playfully pinched Changles nose.
Ill listen to my lady Su Li easily understood Changles intentions. Moreover, Su Li had no intention of seeking fame through this. However, it ended up becoming famous by accident.
In just two months
Su Li became the most renowned talent in the Great Tang!
However, this was merely a trivial achievement for Su Li over the past two months. Li Er hadnt even visited once during these two months as he was busy.
Considering the 60-day growth cycle of potatoes, even without advanced cultivation techniques, they wouldnt yield much. Sweet potatoes took a bit longer to grow, but as time went on, they required more attention.
Given Li Ers attachment to these crops, he probably wished to sleep beside them to watch over them at night.
While Li Er didnt visit, Empress Zhangsun did come a few times. Empress Zhangsun naturally paid attention to the sudden craze of poetry gatherings among the noblewomen in Changan.
After some understanding, she knew what Su Li had been up to lately. Empress Zhangsun Wu Fei was already aware of Su Lis poetic talent.
Based on the line I have no regrets when my belt gets wider and wider, and I have become emaciated for you, she could already see his potential. However, Zhangsun Wu Fei couldnt have anticipated the extent of Su Lis poetic abilities.
In just two months, there were numerous big and small poetry gatherings.
But every work presented was impressive and had the potential to be passed down through generations. The efficiency and quality of Su Lis poetry were unheard of. Later on, Su Lis poems found their way into the palace.
Empress Zhangsun frequently saw young princesses lost in thought while reading Su Lis poems. From their accounts, she learned that the young ladies of Changan were now emulating Su Lis poems.
This event led to a slight increase in the price of paper throughout Changan.
The paper has become valuable in Changan!
Moreover, many prominent young ladies in the waiting chambers saw Su Li as the ideal image of their dream partner. Queen Zhangsun couldnt help but feel restless!
However, because of this, she didnt doubt Su Li and Changles feelings.
After all, Su Li and Changle were inseparable and devoted to each other. No one could doubt their relationship.
What troubled Queen Zhangsun was something else altogether. As the Queen Mother, she was responsible for all matters concerning women.
The intermarriages between noble families required her to oversee and bear witness. Queen Zhangsun was, in essence, the most influential matchmaker in the entire Great Tang Dynasty!
Because of Su Lis poetry, the noblewomen of Changan had suddenly become more demanding. These days, Queen Zhangsun hosted many leading women from noble families. Upon entering the palace, these women sat there, sighing incessantly.
They all expressed worry about not being able to find suitable in-laws for their marriageable daughters.
Even many who had already arranged marriages were now resisting marriage. Surprisingly, their reasons were almost identical.
They wanted their future husbands to resemble Su Li in looks, write as beautifully as him, and even be skilled at poetry!
While not everyone could match Su Lis extraordinary talents, they expected a certain ability level. This dilemma weighed heavily on these leading women.
The families of these nobles, the matters of marriagehow could they become concerned about such superficial qualities?
Wasnt it merely about matching social status so they could support each other in the future?
It should be a good match as long as the backgrounds were equivalent. But those noblewomen seemed to be possessed, endlessly fussing over these things.
What mattered if a potential husband was handsome, wrote well, or even crafted a good poem? These attributes couldnt be eaten or drunk. What was the use?
However, these noble ladies acted as if they were under a spell, causing constant disturbances. The quieter ones remained silent and shed tears when they heard this. The more headstrong ones made a stir, unsettling their households.
Empress Zhangsun listened to this situation in shock and also felt a strong sense of crisis. Su Lis sudden fame in Changan was undoubtedly the greatest challenge in her matchmaker career since she became empress.
Fortunately, Su Li was her son-in-law!
Queen Zhangsun had no choice but to personally visit Su Li to resolve the situation. Her objective wasnt too complicated, simply to request that her son-in-law refrain from writing poetry so recklessly.
She wanted him to stop, and over time, once the hype died down, the unrealistic admiration of the noblewomen of Changan would naturally fade as well.
While the girls infatuations might not have matured, their feelings would eventually wane as long as Su Li refrained from writing.
Changle naturally agreed to Queen Zhangsuns request. When Princess Changle initially organized the poetry gatherings, it was to help enhance her husbands reputation. Now that the goal was achieved and perhaps gone overboard, Changle was already content.
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun were busy attending to their official duties daily, leaving little time for the younger couple.
However, the young princess was different. Still, at a young age, her daily tasks were eating and playing.
She had been running there frequently since she tried baked sweet potatoes and French fries at the Princesss Mansion. And whenever she came, she stayed the entire day.
Li Er and Empress Zhangsuns visit left Su Li somewhat impatient, but the arrival of the young princess was more than welcomed.
With her around, Su Li could earn points more efficiently through dual operations. However, the little princess was no longer fooled by the big white rabbit toffee bribery.
The point consumption had risen steadily. About 10,000 points were spent, and three more meals were paid for in addition to a pack of toffees!
Nevertheless, such losses were mere drops in the bucket for a grand princesss mansion.
On this day, Changle played with the young princess in the garden, while Su Li sat alone in the study, summarizing the gains from this period. Over the two months, Su Li had accumulated more than 2 million points. He first purchased 40 attribute point gift packs, which yielded 100 free attribute points.
Points balance: 2,073,608.
Without hesitation, Su Li again allocated the attribute points to the strength and body attributes.
The attributes underwent another change.
Name: Su Li
Age: 23
Power: 200 (additional points can be added)
Physique: 200 (add points)
Acuity: 63 (additional points can be added)
Perception: 69 (add points)
Charm: 63 (add points)
Available free attributes: 58
This power feels five times more than before! Su Li squeezed his fist, feeling the terrifying power contained in his body, and nodded contentedly.
Didnt look at the power increased from 179 points to 200 points. But any attribute, the more it went to the back, the more terrifying it was to improve.
What about the physique? Looking at the physical attributes that were also 200 points, Su Li couldnt help it.
Before, his physique had reached a non-human level, and his body was injured, but he could recover with a cup of tea. Now, it was even more terrifying!
Compared with before, Su Li, who had a physique of 200, could be called a pump of energy and blood, and even a wound with a ruptured artery could recover instantly.
It meant that the rebirth of an ordinary severed limb was no longer difficult for Su Li. It could be said that nothing could kill Su Li in the world in front of him!
Of course, Su Li didnt try. These were just the answers given by the system.
