The boss immediately went to cook the glutinous rice balls, and soon they were served.
"They're still very hot from the pot, let them cool down a bit." Mu Run pushed a bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of Da Man.
Daman, inhaling the aroma, kept licking his lips and swallowing, asking, "Can I really eat this?"
Mu Run smiled and said, "Yes, you're full."
I also ordered a plate of braised beef and four scallion pancakes from the owner. These weren't too hot, so I could eat them right away.
Mu Run watched Da Man wolf down his food, gradually becoming lost in thought.
"Manwa—" A woman frantically searched for someone.
Upon hearing this, Daman immediately stood up from the stool and loudly replied, "Mother, I'm here."
The woman looked over at the sound and saw it was her son. She rushed over in a panic, "I told you to go with your brother! Where did you go? You scared your mother to death!"
She hugged Daman and started crying, hitting him as she cried.
Daman was also frightened and dared not move.
Mu Run said, "You must be Da Man's mother. It's good that the child is alright. Please stop crying."
"Who is this young lady?" The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeve, then looked Mu Run up and down, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.
Daman then spoke up, "She's a fairy sister who invited me to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
"I'm not a fairy, my surname is Mu." Mu Run smiled and said to the woman, "I was thinking you might come looking for me, so I didn't want to wander around. It's snowing, so I wanted to eat some glutinous rice balls to warm him up. Perfect timing, the glutinous rice balls aren't too hot anymore, you and Daman can eat them together. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"I see. I'm so sorry to have troubled you so much, young lady." The woman hurriedly reached into her sleeve, only to pull out a single copper coin, not even enough to buy a single glutinous rice ball.
Seeing this, Mu Run said again, "No need, the money has already been paid."
Then she walked over to Daman, squatted down, straightened his clothes, and patted his little hand. "Don't run around like that anymore, okay?"
"Mmm." Daman nodded obediently.
Mu Run and the woman said goodbye again, and then he and Fu Lu returned to their carriage.
The woman held Daman's hand and watched the carriage drive away until it was out of sight. Then she came to her senses and said to Daman, "The patterns on the carriage are python patterns... Son, you just met an extremely important person."
Daman opened his palm, revealing a piece of paper folded into a small square.
"Mother, this is from Sister Mu."
"What is it?" the woman asked, opening the package.
A silver note with a face value of one hundred taels!
The woman was stunned.
She brought her children to visit relatives hoping to borrow some money in an emergency, but she never expected to be kicked out, and her son almost got lost.
...
Inside the carriage, Mu Run leaned against the window, continuing to admire the scenery.
"Why did you help that child?" Fu Lu asked.
"It was just a small act of kindness. But for that mother and child, it could be a lifeline."
In this world, people often add flowers to brocade, but rarely offer charcoal in the snow.
Mu Run turned to look at him, and after a moment said, "Logically speaking, since you are the Crown Prince, isn't Lady Yan the Crown Princess? Would it be appropriate to make me the Crown Princess?"
"Normally, the Crown Princess is promoted from the position of Princess. However, if there is a more suitable candidate, she can be appointed separately; there are precedents for this."
"Isn't Madam Yan furious? You have no idea, before I entered the palace, she wanted to set rules for me."
"Hehe, now it's your turn to set the rules for her."
"Forget it, as long as she doesn't cause me trouble. Hey? Aren't those disciples of the Qingquan Sect?" Mu Run pointed to two cultivators by the roadside.
Fu Lu glanced at it. "Yes, shall we go over there?"
