Chapter 65 - Family Gathering

An emperor admitting his fault in front of his child, it was not easy.

Murong Yun curled his lips and replied, “I’m fine, no need to make up to me.”

“Are you feeling better these days?” the emperor put on an act of showing solicitude for Murong Yun.

“Yes.”

The emperor nodded, “That’s great, seeing you getting better is a long-cherished wish of mine. Don’t lower oneself to the same level as the Crown Prince, he is useless. Yun, I want to see you in the morning court starting from tomorrow.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Murong Yun answered, “See you tomorrow, Your Majesty.”

“See you tomorrow, Yun.” all the emperors were great politicians, they could be engaging in a battle with you the last second but the next second they would be talking to you with a smiley face,

The emperor asked Murong Yun to come to the morning court to keep better watch on him, this farce was a wake up call for the emperor.

The emperor asked Eunuch Cao to escort Murong Yun to walk out of the palace, thus Murong Yun took his leave.

Eunuch Cao walked by Murong Yun in silence, Murong Yun kept walking forward without even sparing a look at Eunuch Cao.

He stopped and looked around at the palace gate, looking indifferent.

Su Liancheng was resting on a carriage waiting for Murong Yun, he jumped on the ground at the sight of Murong Yun.

“Brother Eighth, is Mu Chaoyang in jail now?”

“Correct.”

“His Majesty did ask you to come to morning court from tomorrow on?”

“Correct.”

“The empress will join hands with some officials to beg for leniency, just like that they can turn big problems into small ones and small problems into no problems at all? Mu Chaoyang will be free in no time?”

“Correct.”

“Brother Eighth, are you a prophet?” exclaimed Su Liancheng, he and Murong Yun discussed what might be in store for Luo Qianqian on their way coming to the palace, Murong Yun analyzed the situation and came to the conclusion Su Liancheng just said.

Su Liancheng admired his Brother Eighth even more now. Well, he admired Luo Qianqian the most for she could tame his Brother Eighth.

“Hmm, you need to come to the morning courts, my sister-in-law needs to learn martial arts, you two are not going to spend much time together, it sucks.”

Murong Yun didn’t reply him, he needed to do what the emperor said just to appease him.

Su Liancheng wasn’t bothered by Murong Yun’s silence, he continued, “I say Zimo just now, he escorted Xue back, but he left for Mrs Lingtian.”

Murong Yun nodded, then he jumped on the carriage, “Let’s go.”

“All righty, let’s get going!” Su Liancheng now was the carter, he was happy to do it though, for he got the chance to drive two precious ferghana horses.

To return to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian didn’t rush back home after she left the tavern, she went to a fabric store along with Feng Qing, “Feng Qing, do you draw?”

“A little.”

‘What is Her Highness up to now?’

“Great, come draw me some outfit sketches.”

Feng Qing was dumbfounded.

Feng Qing took hold of a pen with reluctance, “What kind of outfit do you have in mind?”

“Hmm, I like what you are wearing, it looks very martial arts friendly, I’d like to add some details though… …”

Tick tock.

Luo Qianqian had overestimated Feng Qing’s sketching abilities, Feng Qing and herself were both good at ‘abstract paintings’, let’s just put it that way.

It was a jaw dropping moment for Luo Qianqian when she saw the sketched Luo Qianqian drew for her.

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched, “Bro… are you for real? Who could tell this is men’s wear, anyone would say this is for puppies!”

Feng Qing shook his head, “Your Highness, I’m your subordinate, how dare I say I’m your brother?”

‘Is that the point?’

Luo Qianqian gave up. She just bought some men’s wear from the store, she bought some for Xue as well, she knew Xue would think it through and show up tomorrow morning.

Feng Qing was also pretty confident Princess Eleventh just left in a fit of anger, Princess Eleventh had long been talking about learning martial arts, no way would she give this opportunity away.

“Feng Qing, tell Xue that I taught Senior Sun Zhe a lesson today, I hope that would cheer her up.”

Feng Qing nodded, “Consider it done, Your Highness.”

Feng Qing walked behind Luo Qianqian, he couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with his master and Lord Su at the moment, had they gone to the palace yet… …

Feng Qing wished he could be by his master’s side now.

Soon they returned to Luo Pavilion, and Luo Qianqian was about to go to bed.

Knock knock.

Butler Luo was knocking on the gate, “Xiao Yue, is the Fourth Lady home?”

Xiao Yue couldn’t believe it Butler Luo was talking to her nicely.

Xiao Yue didn’t answer yes or no, she asked Butler Luo back, “Why are you looking for my lady, Butler Luo?”

Butler Luo put on a friendly face and answered, “Don’t worry, Xiao Yue, great news!”

“Oh? What great news?” Xiao Yue was trying so hard to protect her lady.

“Prime Minister Luo heard the news that Master Lingtian has taken the Fourth Lady as his disciple, Prime Minister Luo is so happy for the Fourth Lady that he has organized a family gathering in the hall.”

Bang.

A bowl fell off from Xiao Yue’s hand and fell on the ground, it was puppy’s bowl, puppy now was pouting, ‘I want my food.’

Xiao Yue now was too elevated to pay attention to puppy, she asked, “Is that true, Butler Luo?”

“I swear it’s true, Prime Minister Luo has been waiting for a while now, is the Fourth Lady home or not?”

Xiao Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, this family was so ridiculous, since when had anyone asked her lady whether she had enough food, but look at them now, organizing a nice family gathering to celebrate her lady’s big moment.

“My lady, my lady?” Xiao Yue knocked Luo Qianqian’s door.

Luo Qianqian listened to Luo Yuyan what this was about, then she told Butler Luo that she would be there soon.

Butler Luo frowned, “It’s okay, I can wait for you right here, my lady.”

Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and took a glimpse at puppy, “All right then, let’s go.”

Luo Qianqian picked up puppy from the ground and was ready to head to the hall.

Luo Qianqian asked Xiao Yue to stay at home, she whispered at Xiao Yue’s ear, “Xiao Yue, I will take Feng Qing with me to the hall, I don’t know what is in store for me at the family gathering, I will be back soon.”
