Changlan Palace at night.
"Since there are many people tonight, let's hold the banquet in Changlan Hall."
Guan Zhiyue handed the folded document to the group and then said, "You can order whatever you want to eat. We'll have the imperial chef prepare it and bring it up later."
Looking at the menu in her hand, Xiao Tuantuan said with some disdain, "Sis, let's have hot pot and barbecue!"
The others immediately thought, "That's a great suggestion!"
It's been so long since I've had barbecue, especially with so many people!
Tonight at dinner, Guan Zhiyue actually met someone she hadn't seen in a long time.
This was someone she hadn't seen since returning to the palace.
"OMG!"
"Your Excellency, Grand Preceptor, you are truly a rare sight!"
"What brings you out today?"
Guan Zhiyue looked Shan Liuxian up and down.
He still had silver hair and a purple robe, and his aura of otherworldly grace and inviolable sanctity was at its peak.
"Wow, who is this?" This was Cheng Huiling's first time meeting the Imperial Advisor.
Many of those present were meeting the Imperial Preceptor for the first time, especially the ladies.
Therefore, they have done some research on the Sang-ryu-sen.
With a faint smile on his lips, Seonryo-seon maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, giving off the impression of an enlightened immortal!
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time."
"It really has been a long time. Aren't you hungry?" Guan Zhiyue was full of curiosity!
Shanliuxian smiled and nodded, saying, "This humble Taoist knows how to abstain from grains."
...
So even if he doesn't eat, he won't starve to death?
It turns out she worried for nothing, and fretted for nothing!
"Why did you decide to leave the palace this time?"
Shan Liuxian gave Guan Zhiyue a meaningful look, but did not answer her question. Instead, she looked at Li Qiji beside her.
He rose with a smile, bowed to Li Qiji, flicked his whisk, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble Taoist is about to embark on a long journey, and my return date is uncertain!"
These words shocked everyone in the hall!
What was truly astonishing was Li Qiji!
He knew that the Imperial Advisor always meant something big was about to happen when he went out. Could it be that something big was about to happen again?
Why did the Imperial Advisor choose to go out at this time?
Moreover, the return date is still uncertain!
So what kind of big event is it?
"Does the Imperial Preceptor have a specific purpose this time?" Li Qiji suppressed his doubts and asked instead.
Shanliu Immortal said, "Nothing for now. Wandering freely like a wild cloud or a wild crane, this is the proper way for us cultivators!"
Others: .....
"Father, I want to go too!" Just as everyone was stunned, a little child's voice rang out.
It rang out from the corner, the sound was not loud, but it was resounding!
The person who said these words was the Ninth Prince, Li Jingsheng.
"Ah Sheng, where are you going?" Li Qiji asked gently.
Li Jingsheng pointed at Shan Liuxian and then said, "Father, I think this grandfather is very charismatic, and I would like to go as well."
Seonryu-seon: Grandpa?
Little brat, are you sure you're calling me "Grandpa"?
He was shocked, petrified, and felt like he was about to explode.
"Hahahahahaha..."
"My dear Imperial Advisor, how did you become a grandfather? Let me explain."
"Your hair is no good." Li Qishang was the first to burst out laughing, and he did so without any regard for his image.
He laughed so hard he slid off the chair and fell to the floor.
He clutched his stomach and burst into laughter, with even a few tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
This was so funny that Seon Ryuseon's face darkened.
Reminded by the Crown Prince, Li Jingsheng cautiously spoke again, "Uncle, please don't be angry. It's all Jingsheng's fault. I mistook you for someone else."
Guan Zhiyue said with a smile, "Ah Sheng, this is our Imperial Advisor, you must show him respect."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered."
Li Jingsheng clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Shan Liuxian in apology. Shan Liuxian squatted down to be level with Li Jingsheng and said, "Would you like to travel with me?"
"Yes, and I also want to learn your skills from you!"
When Li Qiji heard that his son was not behaving properly as a prince, but instead running away with a Taoist priest, what was going on?
Is it that the palace can no longer tolerate his existence?
"Sheng, stop fooling around! Come back and sit down to eat."
Shanliuxian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is quite intelligent and has a special affinity with us. Why not let him learn from me?"
"Grand Preceptor, are you sure? My A-Sheng is so young. You are going to travel anywhere now with no return date in sight, and we don't even know where to go."
"My Ah Sheng, I disagree!" Guan Zhiyue stood up abruptly.
Li Jingsheng is four years old this year. He was born on June 12th, and his fourth birthday will be in three months.
She was ready to formally begin her education, but now Shanliuxian said she wanted to take the child away to learn Taoist arts, which made her feel a little reluctant!
She tried her best to stop her, her voice even trembling.
At this moment, Li Jingyu stood up from his chair and knelt in the middle of the hall.
He said in the direction of Guan Zhiyue, "Mother, I hope you will agree to let Ninth Brother do what he likes."
"Don't you always teach us to do what we love?"
Now that our ninth brother has been found, shouldn't Mother support him?
Guan Zhiyue glanced at Li Qiji and saw that he acquiesced, so she didn't insist anymore. But her child was not even four years old yet!
Can this Grand Preceptor, who has never even been with a woman, really take good care of a child?
"Grand Preceptor, can you take good care of Jing Sheng?"
Shan Liuxian looked at Li Jingsheng, whose little face was tense, as if afraid he would say something he couldn't do. He suddenly felt that this child was really funny!
Looking at her child, he smiled and said, "Of course."
"Ninth Prince, tonight you shall acknowledge me as your master. Since I am your master..."
He will certainly shoulder the responsibilities of a mentor and will definitely take good care of him.
There was one more thing he didn't say aloud; he kept it to himself.
Your child, I will naturally take good care of him and will never let him get hurt.
The only thing that haunted him was that he had never had her!
But now that he's become her child's mentor, he's practically a father to her child, and he's content with that.
After all, there won't be any more.
"Master, please accept my bow." While Shanliuxian was somewhat lost in thought...
Li Jingsheng, holding a cup of tea, knelt properly before Shan Liuxian's table and solemnly kowtowed to him.
Shanliuxian sat up straight, took the cup of tea, and then said, "Alright, from today onwards, Ninth Prince, you will be my first disciple."
"I bestow upon you the Taoist name 'Qinghe'."
"Disciple Qinghe thanks Master for bestowing this name upon me." Li Jingsheng, with his swaying little body, bowed very solemnly.
Everyone raised their glasses and offered their congratulations to Seon Ryuseon.
He also offered some words of comfort to Guan Zhiyue, and the meal was filled with laughter for everyone...
