"It's a good thing that everyone is here. I want to accept the little girl as my last disciple. I wonder if you are willing?" Old Man Xuanji said to everyone in the Mu family.
"It is a blessing for my daughter Li'er to be accepted as a disciple by the master. As long as the child likes it, we have no objection." The head of the Mu family said happily.
"Master, isn't Li'er too young? She will only be one month old tomorrow." Feng Lingyue was a little reluctant.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm just telling you first that I will come to pick her up after she turns three years old. Before that, I will take time to visit her every year." said old man Xuanji.
"Okay, I'll trouble you Master."
"It's not a big deal. This girl and I are destined to be together. I'm happy." Elder Xuanji said with a smile, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow is the girl's full moon. I will announce this at the banquet. I'll formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony when the girl is a little older."
"Everything is up to the master."
"Okay, everyone, let's go. I'm an old man and very tired after such a long journey. I need to take a rest..." Old Man Xuanji handed Mu Li to Feng Lingyue.
Everyone in the Mu family looked at the handsome and elegant old man Xuanji, who had an immortal look and a Taoist appearance. They always felt that they had a few more wrinkles on their faces. Who was the old man after all?
"Feng'er, take your master to rest quickly. Don't neglect him." The head of the Mu family ordered.
"Yes, grandfather." Mu Feng saluted and led his master to the Songhe Courtyard which had been prepared long ago.
At the city gate, Mu Changqing stood there motionless under the scorching sun.
"Lord Mu, are you okay?" the soldier guarding the city ran over and asked.
Mu Changqing could only roll his eyes and could do nothing else.
"Master Mu? Master Mu?" The guard shouted for a long time, but when he saw that Mu Changqing could only roll his eyes, he immediately shouted, "Captain, Captain, come quickly! Master Mu has had a stroke..."
"What?"
"Master Mu had a stroke?!" Passersby gathered around in an instant, talking about Mu Changqing who was staring blankly and unable to move.
"Hurry, hurry, help Lord Mu onto the car." The city gate guards pushed a cart and carried Lord Mu onto the cart.
Mu Changqing lay on his back on the cart, unable to close his eyes and having to endure the stares of passers-by. At that moment, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Lord Mu, don't worry. I have already sent someone to report the news to the Mu Mansion." The captain of the guard team said soothingly while pushing the cart.
"..."Mu Changqing had no expression on his face.
"Oh, how pitiful! How could he have a stroke at such a young age?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"What will happen to the whole family?"
"Life is so unpredictable..."
The people pointed and talked all the way to the Mu Mansion.
At this time, the door of the Mu Mansion was closed, and the head of the Mu family and others were sitting inside drinking tea.
"Mu Jun'an, what do you mean? Why don't you open the door for my son?" Mrs. Mu Bai Yinin put her hands on her hips and pointed at the head of the Mu family and asked.
"Madam, he's already such a grown man, but he's not calm at all. This time, he was surrounded by people all the way. It's really embarrassing."
"Fortunately, he met Feng'er's master, and he just taught him a lesson. If he had met someone else, he would have died without knowing how!" The head of the Mu family was also very angry.
"This Chang Qing is getting more and more backward. Look at him over the past month. He has done nothing every day, not attending court, not practicing, and staying at home taking care of the children all day long. How can we hand over the Mu family to him in the future?" The head of the Mu family became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
"I think you are jealous because you can't get Li'er?" Mrs. Mu laughed angrily.
"Nonsense! How could I be jealous of him? Li'er is my granddaughter. I can hold her whenever I want. Why should I envy him?" The head of the Mu family said stubbornly.
"Ha, okay, okay, then from now on I will go to see Guailier by myself, and you don't have to go with me." Bai Yining said with a smile, her arms folded across her chest.
"Hey, you... Hey, open the door and welcome me into the house." The head of the Mu family ordered.
"We also have to thank the guards at the city gate." Bai Yining reminded.
"Wenda, reward!" The head of the Mu family waved his hand and turned to enter the inner courtyard.
Zhaoyue Royal Palace
The emperor was reviewing memorials when Eunuch Hai came forward and whispered something to him. The emperor was so startled that he dropped his pen.
"Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, word has spread throughout the capital that the eldest son of the Mu family suffered a stroke at the city gate. He can only move his eyeballs, but nothing else. He was eventually sent back by the city gate guards."
"How could this happen? Quickly summon the imperial physician to the Mu Mansion for a check-up." The emperor stood up and was about to go to the Mu Mansion.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. I have just asked the imperial physician to go. Let's wait for the imperial physician to come back!" Eunuch Hai hurriedly grabbed the emperor and persuaded him.
"Okay. By the way, tomorrow is Mu's full moon. Are the gifts ready?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"Well, I'll draft another imperial decree. Tomorrow I'll announce to the world that the Mu family has a daughter. She will be crowned a princess at the Hundred Days Banquet. All nations are invited to congratulate!"
"yes."
"Okay, you can leave first. Report any news about the Mu family to me promptly."
"yes."
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, in the underground black market, Shuiyunjian
Mo Xi brought Long Yi into the teahouse, and the waiter came up to greet them enthusiastically, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"I'm looking for the shopkeeper."
"Looking for our shopkeeper? Who are you?" the waiter asked cautiously. Outsiders only knew that Shuiyunjian had a manager, but no one knew that Shuiyunjian had a shopkeeper. How could such a young child know that...
"My last name is Mo." Mo Xi said coldly.
"Mo... please follow me and wait a moment. I'll go and invite the shopkeeper." The waiter was shocked and immediately respectfully invited Mo Xi to the third floor.
