Chapter 124 Wan Yu's Invitation



Chapter 124 Wan Yu's Invitation

The next morning, Lu Mubai, accompanied by his second aunt Lu Fuqing, went to the Minister's residence. The gatekeeper informed him that the old lady had taken the women of the family to Lingyin Temple to fulfill a vow, and that Minister Tang and his three sons had gone to court and had not yet returned home.

Lu Mubai suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice, "When will Old Madam Tang return?"

The doorman replied respectfully, "Tomorrow,"

"Lu Chen, deliver this visiting card. Come to the Tang residence early the day after tomorrow to pay your respects to Old Madam Tang," Lu Mubai's cool voice rang out. Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and stuffed the visiting card into the gatekeeper's hand.

Hehe, my young master is so clever. He knew the Tang family wouldn't let him visit so easily, so he prepared visiting cards in advance. For the next two weeks, he prepared one visiting card every day.

Lu Chen laughed as he jumped onto the carriage and drove it away, following behind Lu Mubai. Watching Lu Fuqing's carriage enter the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Lu Mubai turned his horse around and headed towards Yunyi Tower.

"Princess, Princess Muhua has arrived!" Cui'er exclaimed excitedly as she leaned against the window, gazing at the entrance of Zuixianlou.

Upon hearing the sound, Princess Wanyu rose quickly and walked to the window, where she saw Wen Yuxia, dressed in men's clothing, jumping off her horse with her two inseparable attendants.

Wan Yu said with an admiring look, "So dashing, unrestrained, and arrogant, no wonder this princess has taken a liking to him."

Cui'er suddenly covered her mouth. Had her princess gone hysterical? How dare she say that Princess Muhua was the one she had her eye on?

After the banquet, Wanyu never saw Wen Yuxia again. Longing to become her apprentice, she finally learned that Wen Yuxia had returned to the capital.

Yesterday, I sent an invitation to Wen Yuxia, inviting her to a gathering at Zuixianlou Restaurant at noon today. Princess Yayu, Princess Xinyi, and Princess Xuanmiao also received her invitations.

Originally, Wan Yu thought Ya Yu and the others would arrive first, but unexpectedly, the first person to arrive at the banquet was Wen Yuxia. Wan Yu lifted her skirt and walked out of the private room; she was going to greet her master, Wen Yuxia.

Perhaps because she was walking too fast, or perhaps because her skirt was too long, Princess Wanyu, who had just reached the top of the stairs, lost her footing and tumbled down from the second floor.

As Wen Yuxia entered Zuixianlou, she heard someone shout, "Princess, be careful!" Then she saw Wanyu tuck her hands behind her head and her legs to her chest, rolling rapidly down the stairs like a ball.

Her lips twitched uncontrollably; she wanted to laugh but couldn't, she was suffocating. "Bei Yi, save him," Wen Yuxia's voice was laced with laughter.

"Yes," Bei Yi's voice had barely rang out when he appeared on the stairs. Wan Yu, who was rolling around happily, was grabbed by the belt by Bei Yi.

Wan Yu straightened up, looking at the diners screaming in surprise and Wen Yuxia smiling in the lobby. Wan Yu calmly straightened her skirt.

An ordinary person, regardless of gender, would be incredibly embarrassed to fall down the stairs in front of a crowd of diners. Wanyu, however, is no ordinary person; her skin is thicker than a city wall.

She silently repeated three times to herself, "If I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are," then smiled and called out sweetly to Wen Yuxia, "Master, Wanyu has come to pick you up."

In the hall, all the diners' eyes turned to Wen Yuxia as Wan Yu called out; everyone was stunned by that cry of "Master."

Princess Wanyu was an untouchable figure in the capital. This young man in front of her was actually Princess Wanyu's master. Could he be even more reckless than Princess Wanyu?

Feeling utterly humiliated by the stares of everyone around her, Wen Yuxia leaped up to the second floor and hurried toward the private room with the open door.

Wanyu jogged after him, calling out, "Master, wait for me! Master, wait for me!"

Ya Yu, Xin Yi, and Xuan Miao, the three princesses, arrived at Zui Xian Lou in their carriages at the same time. Wearing veils, the three slowly entered the restaurant and overheard the murmurs of the diners in the lobby.

The three girls, their faces flushed red beneath their veils, quickened their pace in unison. Entering the private room, they lifted their veils, their giggles filling the air.

"Wow, Wanyu, you're amazing! You can even become the talk of the town while eating a meal," Xuanmiao said after laughing for a while.

Xin Yi clutched her stomach, which ached from laughing, and said softly, "It's one thing for you to show off, but why did you have to drag Mu Hua into it? Now everyone in the hall is speculating about who's more of a troublemaker, you or Mu Hua."

"Their guesses are about Wanyu and the young man, not about Muhua," Ya Yu said with a light laugh.

Wan Yu raised her small fist, a fierce look on her face: "This princess will go down and see who dares to talk about this princess to my face."

Having transmigrated to this place, this was the first time Wen Yuxia had interacted with girls around her age. Wan Yu, Xin Yi, and Ya Yu could barely be considered her friends.

Seeing Wanyu's feigned fierceness, Wen Yuxia smiled and came to her rescue, saying, "Alright, stop acting like that. I'm hungry, let's serve the food."

The Emperor has said that Wen Yuxia has a large appetite. Today's feast is for the purpose of her becoming an apprentice. Wanyu thinks it would be better to let Wen Yuxia eat her fill first before discussing the apprenticeship.

"Cui'er, bring one of each of Zuixianlou's signature dishes, and order as much of the others as you see fit."

Wen Yuxia was unaware that the Emperor had already told Ya Yu and the others about her large appetite. As usual, she ate half a bowl of rice and then put down her chopsticks.

Wan Yu assumed that Wen Yuxia wasn't eating much because the food here wasn't as good as in the palace, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Master, I'm sorry, the food at Zuixianlou isn't as good as what the imperial chefs make."

The words "Imperial Chef" reminded Wen Yuxia of her embarrassing moment when she had feasted in the palace. She smiled and said, "I ate quite a few snacks before leaving, so I don't feel hungry now."

After the food was cleared away, Cui'er ordered tea, melon seeds, and snacks for them. Wan Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Mu Hua, can you take me as your apprentice?"

“Wanyu, it’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but you’ve already passed the best age for learning martial arts…” Wen Yuxia suggested that Wanyu could come to her house to climb rope ladders and run cross-country jumps when she had time.

Wan Yu said excitedly, "Mu Hua, I want to try it right now!"

“Okay, Ya Yu, you can come too!” Wen Yuxia nodded in agreement. She had some free time today, so she would bring Wan Yu back to show her face. That way, when she wasn’t at the manor, Wan Yu could come over to train the gatekeeper and let people in.

Wan Yu changed into Wen Yuxia's cycling clothes, her hair was tied into a braid by Bei Yi and secured at the back of her head with a hairpin, and she stood excitedly beside Wen Yuxia.

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "Bei Yi, why don't you demonstrate?"

Bei Yi lit an incense stick and placed it in the incense burner, then lay down on the ground. Bei Er stepped forward and held down Bei Yi's feet, and Bei Yi completed fifty sit-ups in one go.

Immediately afterwards, without batting an eye, Bei rolled over and did fifty push-ups. After that, Bei ran quickly forward.

Running and jumping over the fence, quickly navigating the 100-meter obstacle course, Bei Yi crouched down and crawled through a net woven from straw ropes...

Finally, Bei Yi quickly climbed the swaying rope ladder, deftly flipped over it, and jumped to the ground.

After completing the entire set of exercises, the incense stick in the incense burner had burned less than halfway. Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "I'll waive the push-ups and sit-ups for now. Go try the others."

Wan Yu ran forward with high spirits, but stopped at the first fence. "Mu Hua, I can't jump over it," she said.

Wen Yuxia said seriously, "If you can't jump over it, practice more. If you don't want to be bullied by Song Ying in the future, you must train like Bei Yi. Wanyu, think it through. If you're going to train, you have to persevere."

"Practice, I'll practice!" Wan Yu shouted through gritted teeth, thinking of her nemesis, Song Ying.

Ya Yu hesitated before asking, "Mu Hua, are there any easier ways to exercise?" Ya Yu wanted to participate in exercise, but cross-country jumping was too intense; she didn't even have the courage to try it.

"Go for a run, jog a lap around the training ground," Wen Yuxia suggested.
