Asking for the person.

With lots of heartache but the pride clear in their eyes, they accepted the salute from qinwang Sheng. Especially the empress the first moment she heard about her son's injury she had fainted and woke up only after half a day.

Though years have passed but still she felt someone gouging her heart when she looked at her son in wheelchair. Empress Chen with powerful background has safely managed to secure her position but sadly time and again couldn't protect her sons from the schemes.

Her eldest born passed away suddenly without even a hint of what went wrong not knowing the cause of death till today, now her second born has been crippled, fearing same kind of fate for her youngest she had him send to her cousin's place.

Finally, pei jin looked towards Yusheng's baby blue eyes, cupped his fist and gave salute " Sheng greets estimeed Lord of the Medicine Valley."

Yusheng flicked her sleeves with Qi creating a slight breeze making it as she had held the cupped fist of pei jin avoiding him to bow lower.

At ease... simple words and gesture yet the ones with good cultivation's were shocked to core including pei jin. To be able create and manifest the Qi as one desired is only possible when one has mastered and had deep knowledge on law of energy.

Yet unable to gouge the current cultivation level she had, everyone present in the hall with good cultivation has realized that she was either close or is already a master.

One has to say even one of the most talented genius titled in all four countries was able to perform like Yusheng at the age of 10. Pei jin could feel the Qi that held his fist from below, and knew the strength was on par or may be a little higher than himself. Unless dueling with seriousness one wouldn't know who the winner would be.

Raising his head he once again looked into that blue eyes clear as spring water, and clear sky but the thing that suprised him was her eye clearly reflected him, there was no pity, sympathy nor empathy. Wisdom, strength and little bit of coldness along with his face was what reflected in her eyes.

She was the first person till now who held such gaze.. that makes one feel being looked deep into the heart but still could remain so pure.

After the short moment of analyzing he went to his designated place right below the emperor opposite to the elders, showing his status and the favor he had.

"Where there's a father, there's his son".... it was a great compliment from Yusheng for both the emperor and qinwang. While the emperor replied "No man is a perfect man; no gold is sufficiently bare." implying though he was a emperor he failed to protect his son.

"While there are green hills, there'll be wood to burn." Implying one should not loose his hope, though making it unclear whether she will treat pei jin or not.

Listening to the ongoing ping pong of litreracy between the two, all felt their head numb..

Great lineage, great beauty, great cultivation also heard on par to hua tuo in medicine and now she also had great wisdom.. only at the age of 8.

They sighed thousand times in their heart and some with good brains started to plan on how to win her favor, even if able clutch her edge of skirt would definitely make them soar high.

But there are always stupid ones among wise.

Duke Chengen cousin of consort mu and current prime minister. Whose family came to rise because of consort mu being favored. Extremely dandy, lustful and waste of a person age 20.

Countless concubines, tong fangs and children littered in home like nest of puppies. For him what young and old as long as he gets to enjoy.

He was bewitched by Yusheng's beauty but remembering her identity though unwillingly kept his lust down, but thinking again the maid servant was also of great quality made his mood soar, marking his downfall.

So, haughtily thinking how he was the most favored cousin of consort mu while at the same time being connected to prime minister and the emperor he didn't think it was not much if he subtly hints about asking the person from Yusheng.

Standing up with a wine filled cup he started " esteemed lord of medicine valley I duke chengen humbly toast you this cup for being able to come here safely and gracing us with your esteemed self". And gulped the entire wine while Yusheng gave the nod indicating she received the toast.

Sensing her attention he began to sing praises of the medicine valley, after a while after running an entire circle he without any shame stated "lord of medicine valley I have a presumptuous request, the protocol of the medicine valley after seeing with my own eyes now know how much lacking my manor is, if possible to educate my children wish to have your person." His eyes dripping with lust when he looked at xiaoqing.

Though the words he used were beautiful but everyone present here knew it was just an excuse to have the person hurled inside the manor, after taken in who knew what will happen.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he had placed his request to equal or below his rank but Yusheng's identity was specia, equal to emperor, to ask her person was like asking the personal taijan from emperor. Clicking there tongue inside at this haughty dukes foolishness yet also eager to see the drama everyone became spectators.
