The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 394: Take it step by step, don’t rush

Xing Si was almost about to tell Li Mulan directly, "The prince is missing the princess."

Li Mulan took the brocade box in confusion, and wondered in her heart, what's wrong with this person? He wrote letters and sent gifts, is he sure something didn't happen?

She didn't read the letter first, and opened the brocade box directly. Inside was a red sandalwood hairpin, which seemed to be made by... Chu Chenfeng himself? She stroked the lines on the hairpin, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"Well, um... I understand. You go down first."

Xing Si hesitated for a moment but still reminded, "After reading the letter, Princess, don't forget to write a reply to the prince. Just give it to me directly, and I will arrange for someone to deliver it to the prince as quickly as possible."

"Um...Okay, I understand."

Xing Si then breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, nodded slightly to everyone, and then left.

The sisters stepped forward immediately.

"What did the prince give you?"

"I didn't expect that. Rumor has it in Kyoto that the prince is a very cold person. I didn't expect that he would actually send a gift?"

"I want to see it, too."

Li Lian was small and couldn't see what was in the box at all.

Li Rong smiled and picked him up, "Take a look, let our little Lian take a look too."

Li Mulan unconsciously touched the orchid hairpin on her head. Haha, he had given her more than one thing.

Zhang and Lin Xuelan also stood up, and their eyes lit up when they saw the things in the box.

Lin Xuelan smiled and said, "This must have been made by the prince himself. He is really thoughtful."

Li Mulan unconsciously touched the jade hairpin on her head again, "Haha, he really likes carving things, and his craftsmanship is pretty good."

Lin Xuelan looked at the orchid jade hairpin on her head, "Could this one on your head also be made by the prince?"

Li Mulan looked a little uncomfortable. "Ahem, um... yes."

Lin Xuelan looked at Zhang, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect the prince to be so interesting and treat Lan'er so well."

Zhang was laughing so hard that her body shook uncontrollably, and she couldn't even close her mouth. "The prince is a thoughtful person."

Being teased by everyone, no matter how thick-skinned Li Mulan was, she couldn't stand it anymore and her ears turned red.

Zhang finally felt relieved after seeing this. Although it was late, at least she had started to understand a little.

At night, when it is late and quiet.

Li Mulan sat in front of the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush in her hand, frowning. The desk was already piled with waste paper...

She sighed and wondered what to write. She felt like she had nothing to say to him.

Li Mulan took out Chu Chenfeng's letter and read it. "Well, it's all about military matters. Then... I'll share with you what happened to me recently."

What she didn't know was that since Chu Chenfeng received her reply, he would write letters home whenever he had time and have them sent back as quickly as possible. Li Mulan would also write back to him, and the two of them seemed to be closer as they wrote back and forth.

The days that followed were still ordinary. The only difference was probably that her second uncle Li Xun got married to Lin Xuelan, and Li Mulan also gave him many expensive gifts.

Since then, there has been one more person visiting the palace, the second aunt. Haha, life has become really fulfilling and happy.

The west courtyard of the palace.

Mo Yan and Tianyi were playing chess, Wufeng was reading a medical book, and there was a small stove next to them with some medicine being boiled on it.

Li Mulan and Huo Yuanruo were fighting fiercely with weapons at this moment.

But after a while, Li Mulan was defeated.

Huo Yuanruo put down his sword, with a look of surprise on his face, "Little Master, you are so powerful, I didn't stop at all just now."

Li Mulan sighed, "Didn't I still lose?"

Wu Feng put down the medical book and said with a smile, "Be content. How long have you been practicing internal strength? You have achieved the results you have today, firstly because of your extraordinary talent, and also because of the blessing of my elixir. This is no longer just a matter of genius."

Mo Yan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Proceed step by step, don't rush it."

Li Mulan curled her lips and said, "I know, Master. I just feel that I am too weak and I am afraid of losing you."

"Humph, I, your master, am not that vain."

"Oh my, Master, although I don't care. But as your most beloved disciple, I naturally want to make you proud."

Mo Yan sneered, "I never realized you were so filial before."

"That's because you don't understand me, Master."

Wu Feng laughed, "You little fox, you never get up early without profit. You are so sweet-mouthed. What good things are you trying to cheat your master out of again?"

Li Mulan choked and looked at Mo Yan with a guilty conscience, "No way, I... am not usually like this?"

Wu Feng glanced at her, smiled and shook his head, then poured the medicine boiled on the stove into a small bowl beside him, "The medicine is ready, drink it quickly."

Li Mulan's face fell instantly, "How long do I have to drink?"

"I'll have to keep drinking for at least ten days."

"Ah... Help me, this medicine is too bitter. Didn't I tell you before that I wanted you to try making pills? You can make elixirs, so why can't you make this medicine into pills?"

Wu Feng slapped her in annoyance and said, "Wouldn't it be better to coat the pills with sugar?"

Li Mulan smiled and said, "If it is possible, then that would be the best thing to do."

"Bah, you little fox are getting too far, don't change the subject, drink now."

Li Mulan looked at the dark medicine with disdain, sniffed it, and immediately made a vomiting gesture, "This smells very bitter."

Wu Feng glared at him, "Drink! You've been taking medicine since you were a child, and you're still so squeamish."

Li Mulan hummed twice, but still obediently drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Wufeng's eyes became much gentler and he handed her a paper bag with a smile.

Li Mulan's eyes lit up, and she took it and opened it directly, "Hey, this is plum candy."

Wufeng raised his mustache, "Don't you like it?"

Li Mulan put her arm around Wufeng's shoulders and said, "Old Phoenix, you are still the best to me."

Wu Feng was hugged by her like this, and immediately began to scowl again, "Look at yourself, what are you doing, do you have any manners?"

"Oh, you old-fashioned guy, there's no outsider here." He retracted his arm and then moved closer to his master Mo Yan, smiling like a little fox, "Master~"

Mo Yan didn't even glance at her. He took a box from a stool beside him and gave it to her. "Hurry up and leave. It's too noisy."

Li Mulan immediately smiled, and when she opened it and saw the two secret books inside, she became even happier, "Hehehe, you are already prepared. I have already finished studying those two books, and this is also a way to make progress. Master, you should be happy."

Mo Yan ignored her, but Tianyi looked at Li Mulan's expression with relief, "Xiaojiu is indeed talented."

Li Mulan was still more serious to Master Tianyi, "Compared with other brothers, I am still a little bit behind. So, the early bird catches the worm, I have to work harder."

"Haha, okay, then you keep working hard, and I, old monk, will play my chess game."

At this time, Zhang Yi came over, bowed to Mo Yan and the others, and then said to Li Mulan, "Master, the little grasshopper is back."
