Chapter 181 Xiao Jiwu, Happy Birthday, Long Live a Hundred Years
Yun Qingshi had a general understanding of this person's personality after hearing this. He did not want to spoil the fun, so he nodded and smiled and greeted him again: "Hello, Master."
After all, there's nothing wrong with following Xiao Jiwu and calling him Master.
Sang Chengjing was so happy when he heard that, he responded loudly: "Hey!"
Then he stuffed something into Yun Qingshi's hand and said, "Hello, my apprentice wife. This is a gift from the master."
A meeting gift?
Yun Qingshi looked down in confusion and found that it was a very delicate dagger.
Although Yun Qingshi was surprised by Sang Chengjing's address, he did not refute the other party.
Seeing Yun Qingshi's confusion, Sang Chengjing explained: "This is a Phoenix Feather Dagger. It's not a valuable item, but it can cut through iron like mud. I don't know what to give you, but I thought you might be able to use it. After all, we are both martial artists."
Although it was a dagger, Yun Qingshi could see that it was indeed a good thing.
At least the fancy gems inlaid on the scabbard are worth a lot of money.
Of course, he had no intention of taking out the gem and exchanging it for silver. He just knew that the dagger was a valuable treasure.
It can be seen that calling a master may have some benefits.
Yun Qingshi immediately thanked him happily: "Thank you, Master. I like your gift very much."
Sang Chengjing was also overjoyed: "As long as you like my apprentice wife."
Yun Qingshi then made room at the door and said with a smile, "Master, please come in. Let's sit down and chat. The prince should be back soon."
"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk."
Sang Chengjing nodded repeatedly and entered the Yian Hall.
At such a coincidental time, Xiao Jiwu's master arrived, and Yun Qingshi almost guessed the other party's purpose.
After the two sat down, he politely poured tea for the other person: "Master, please have some tea."
Ever since Yun Qingshi called him Master, the smile on Sang Chengjing's face has never faded: "Okay, okay, your apprentice wife, you drink too."
Yun Qingshi nodded and took a sip of tea before asking again, "Master, are you here to celebrate the prince's birthday?"
Sang Chengjing nodded in agreement with Yun Qingshi's words and said, "Today is Ji Wu's coming-of-age ceremony. I must not be absent. After all, he still has a master."
Yun Qingshi smiled and replied, "Master, the prince must be very happy to see you..."
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and then Xiao Jiwu came back.
At the same time, Ye Runan, who received the news, also rushed to Yian Hall.
Xiao Jiwu was obviously surprised by the arrival of his master, but he also understood the other party's intention.
However, he has always been a man of few words, and after exchanging greetings with Sang Chengjing, he had nothing more to say.
Yun Qingshi and Sang Chengjing had a good chat.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Jiwu was also happy.
It was breakfast time, so the four of them had breakfast together. The Yian Hall was unusually lively.
After breakfast, Yun Qingshi continued to chat with Sang Chengjing. Xiao Jiwu called Ye Runan outside and asked him a few questions.
It's nothing more than asking why the master didn't inform me in advance that he was coming.
But Ye Runan was obviously unaware of this.
Later, the two returned to Yi'an Palace. Ye Run'an joined the conversation, leaving Prince Xiao alone. He just sat quietly beside Yun Qingshi, listening to the conversation but not joining in.
The few of them chatted about everything under the sun, and time passed by unknowingly. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon. It was not until Zhao Mingde knocked on the door to remind Yun Qing that he remembered that he had plans.
He also just learned that lunch today would not be served in the Yian Hall, but in the more formal main hall.
At this point, Yun Qingshi could only explain to Xiao Jiwu that he had prepared a surprise before he was able to successfully go to the kitchen to cook noodles.
As for his gift, because it was inconvenient to carry it to the kitchen, Yun Qingshi asked Zhao Mingde to help hide it in his sleeve first.
Yun Qingshi went to the kitchen, and the other three went to the main hall.
At this time in the main hall, Xiao Jiwu's eyes never left the door, and for a moment he didn't even hear the voice of his master asking questions.
He was waiting for Ying Shiyi's surprise, mainly because he was worried. He probably had already guessed the boy's surprise.
It was not until Ye Runan patted his shoulder that Xiao Jiwu came back to his senses.
Sang Chengjing then asked, "Jiwu, why did I hear Runan say that you're still unrequited love?"
In response to this question, Prince Xiao gave a very confident answer: "Master, don't worry, it's not the case now."
Sang Chengjing nodded in satisfaction after hearing this: "That's right. Now that someone is accompanying you, Master will be relieved."
After saying that, Sang Chengjing's gaze fell on Ye Runan: "Your junior brother already has someone he likes. How long do you plan to be alone?"
Ye Runan's smile froze on his face. He said nothing, but just picked up his teacup and continued drinking tea...

Unlike the relatively peaceful atmosphere in the main hall, in the kitchen at this moment, Yun Qingshi was just cooking but he was acting like he was going to fight.
The longevity noodles were already prepared and the water in the pot was boiling. Yun Qingshi used chopsticks to push the noodles into the pot as if dropping a bomb.
The boiling water kept splashing out, and everyone around was frightened.
But fortunately, the noodles were cooked safely and no one was burned.
With the most professional pastry chef reminding him, Yun Qingshi scooped the noodles into the bowl with a large colander on time, and sprinkled the chopped green onions and decorative side dishes prepared in advance, and the longevity noodles were successfully made.
The rest of the food had also been cooked. The waiter came in quickly and put the dishes into food boxes to be sent to the main hall, including the cake, which was safely packed into a large box.
Only the longevity noodles were brought to the main hall by Yun Qingshi himself.
Several servants began to serve the meal, and Yun Qingshi brought out the longevity noodles and placed them in front of Xiao Jiwu.
Seeing this, Prince Xiao couldn't suppress the smile on his lips for a moment.
Soon the servants set the table and left, and the cake was placed in the middle of the table.
Seeing this, Sang Chengjing was the first to ask curiously, "What's that tall thing? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Yun Qingshi replied: "Birthday cake, specially made to celebrate birthdays."
Now that it was brought up, Yun Qingshi spoke directly to Xiao Jiwu: "Xiao Jiwu, you have to make a wish before eating the cake. Close your eyes, clasp your hands together like I did, and then make a wish. I have a gift for you."
As he spoke, Yun Qingshi also demonstrated the correct posture for making a wish.
The only thing missing was probably birthday candles. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of them, but all he could find were white candles and red candles, and each one was thicker than the other, which were obviously not suitable for use on a cake. And considering that the ancients might not accept the act of blowing out candles and making a wish, he simplified it a bit and just made a wish directly.
Although Xiao Jiwu was puzzled by this birthday etiquette that he had never heard of, after hearing Yun Qingshi's words, he immediately closed his eyes and made a wish.
His wish is simple, he just hopes to grow old with his shadow.
When he saw Xiao Jiwu closing his eyes and starting to make a wish, Yun Qingshi hurriedly waved to Zhao Mingde.
Zhao Mingde also understood what he meant and quickly took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Qingshi.
Finally caught up, Yun Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xiao Jiwu opened his eyes, he immediately handed over the gift: "Xiao Jiwu, happy birthday, may you live a long life."
