Chapter 262: The Young Lady of the Imperial Master's Mansion
The next morning, the sun shone in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and the guard opened the door as usual to start a new day's work. However, when he looked up, he was surprised to find a petite and cute girl standing quietly at the door.
Lianyu held a letter tightly in her hand, as if it were an invaluable treasure. Her eyes were clear and firm, revealing a maturity and steadiness that was not in line with her age.
My stepmother said that this was the letter she had asked the Imperial Master for, and that as long as she had this letter she would be able to enter the Imperial Master's Mansion as she wished.
The guard stepped forward and asked gently, "Little sister, are you here to deliver a letter to the Imperial Master's Mansion?"
Lianyu nodded slightly and replied politely: "Yes, uncle. I want to meet Grandpa Lingyang."
The guard smiled and said, "I see. Little sister, please wait a moment. I will pass the letter to Master Lingyang."
However, Lianyu shook her head and said seriously: "This letter was specially asked by the Imperial Master to be delivered to the Grand Master personally. I want to give it to the Grand Master personally."
Hearing the word "national master", the guard's face immediately became serious. He knew that the national master had a high status and the matters he told him must be very important. So he hurriedly said, "Little sister, please wait a moment. I will go in and ask the great master to come out." After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the mansion.
Lianyu stood there quietly, waiting patiently. Time passed by, but she was not impatient at all. Finally, after a while, the guards led a white-haired, energetic old man out.
"Are you a god?" Lianyu raised her round little head, her big, lively eyes sparkling with admiration. She looked straight at the person in front of her, as if she wanted to find something special about him.
"Hehe..." Lingyang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard these innocent words. He looked at the cute girl in front of him with interest, and then asked with a smile: "Is it you who holds the letter from the national teacher in your hand?"
Lianyu nodded fearlessly and carefully handed the letter in her hand to Lingyang. Lingyang took the letter with a smile, but muttered to himself: Since the master left, he has never sent him a letter. He was a little surprised to suddenly receive a letter from the master today.
With full of doubts, Lingyang slowly opened the envelope and his eyes fell on the letter paper. There were a few lines of words clearly written on it: Lianyu is the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion, please take good care of her.
Just a few words made Lingyang's eyes widen instantly, and he looked at Lianyu in astonishment.
At this moment, Lianyu still stood quietly by the side, with clear and innocent eyes. She didn't know that this simple letter would bring such a big shock to Lingyang, she just curiously observed his reaction.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Lingyang asked softly with a smile.
"My name is Lianyu." Lianyu answered with lowered eyebrows.
"Well, what a nice name! Miss Lianyu, from today on, this Imperial Master's Mansion will be your home. Come, follow me in to take a look." Lingyang said as he reached out and gently held Lianyu's soft little hand, then walked towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Lianyu followed Lingyang's footsteps closely, thinking to herself: My stepmother once told me not to mention the matters of my stepfather and stepmother after arriving at the Imperial Master's Mansion, and I only need to report everything to Grandpa Lingyang.
But what puzzled her was that, based on just a letter, this immortal grandfather was so polite to her and even respectfully called her "Miss." So, what secrets were hidden in the letter that her stepmother had asked for from the state master?
Lianyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
In the wilderness, Mu Sixiu and the pockmarked woman came to a dilapidated hut standing alone. Mu Sixiu stared at the extremely simple house in front of him with suspicion and couldn't help asking:
"Is my prince really in here?"
The pockmarked woman nodded and responded softly, "That's right."
She didn't seem to be in a hurry for Mu Sixiu to hand over the imperial seal, and just stood quietly by the side.
Mu Sixiu stared at the pockmarked woman, pondered for a moment, then jumped off his horse and walked quickly into the hut to find out what was going on. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his own prince, Qin Hanmo, lying quietly on a simple bed. Although the hut was small, it was clean and tidy, with a faint smell of herbs.
