Muo Jeng and Bai Yaoxuan followed Shen Tianyu on a small tour around the estate while chatting amongst themselves. Muo Jeng, as expected, ended up choosing the courtyard closest to Shen Tianyu's, aside from Rong Jian's courtyard. Bai Yaoxuan also pulled up the subject of getting her own courtyard, either in Zhu Wangfu or renting one elsewhere in the capital.
"I don't agree that that's a good idea. You're current cultivation can't compare to others your age right now and you're going to Chegyuan School. It's not safe for you to be living elsewhere. As for within Zhu Wangfu, didn't I already give you a separate room in my courtyard? If you want a courtyard, I can give you one but it'll take me a bit of time to reach you if something happens. Not to mention, it's also inconvenient for your training to waste time going back and forth." Shen Tianyu refuted the idea with her own reasoning. Bai Yaoxuan begrudgingly let go of this idea.
After settling Muo Jeng in his courtyard and informing Rong Jian, the now group of four assembled to eat dinner.
"Tomorrow, we'll go into the Imperial Palace to visit the Emperor and Empress. You came at a convenient time so come with us to visit, Father. It will be a good time to formally meet Rong Jian's parents but make sure to behave, you hear?" Shen Tianyu told Muo Jeng.
"Ah... The two Majesties of Rikui, they are quite well-known." Muo Jeng replied instead.
"I already told you they were Rong Jian's parents, you old, deaf geezer." Shen Tianyu rolled her eyes. She then smiled coldly at him. "And I also just told you, again, to behave. So. Behave."
Yes, yes. I'll behave. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, my dear daughter." Muo Jeng gulped and affirmed.
...
After waking up in the morning, the three of them got ready to enter the Imperial Palace. Bai Yaoxuan had made an appointment with some classmates to celebrate the ending of the exams. Shen Tianyu gave her a bag of yuan as spending money for the day. Though she refused, Bai Yaoxuan really had no income and it would be inappropriate to have someone else, who she wasn't as familiar with, pay for her the entire day so she accepted.
"Don't worry, this much won't make any dent in my finances. You know I'd rather let you use the money than waste it myself." Shen Tianyu told her as she forcefully shoved the pouch of a thousand yuan into her hands. In the capital, a hundred yuan was already considered being wealthy. In the ranks of the rich, it wasn't the highest amount but it definitely wasn't the lowest either. It was above average in terms of income, which was paid once a month.
"Greetings to Imperial Mother."
"Greetings to Her Majesty, the Empress Mother."
"Greetings to Her Majesty." The three of them met the Empress in her palace.
"Oh? This is..." She questioned about Muo Jeng after everyone was seated.
"Answering Empress Mother, this is my father who just arrived yesterday. I thought it was convenient to bring him here to day since we are visiting you, I apologize for not telling you in advance." Shen Tianyu answered.
"This subject's name is Muo Jeng, your highness." Muo Jeng introduced himself.
"Ah, so it's Tian'er's father. It's nice to meet you, Mister Muo." The Empress bowed her head in greeting. "You should indeed have told me earlier, Guoliang is busy with state affairs. We would have scheduled for him to be here and meet him. I do apologize for both of us not being here."
"No need to apologize, no need to apologize." Muo Jeng waved it off. "The Emperor is certainly busy so it'd naturally be difficult to meet him. Besides, Xiao Tian's mother isn't here either so we're even."
They mostly chatted about minor things before moving on to some final arrangements for the wedding.
"Guoliang and I will be sitting in as Xiao Jian's parents for the ceremony. Now that father-in-law is here, I feel much more assured. However, about her mother's seat..." Kuian Xiaoli trailed off. She didn't want to pry as no one had ever mentioned Shen Tianyu's mother before but missing a parent for the ceremony did cause some problems not only with seating arrangements but also with how others would view and talk about their marriage.
"Ah, this... ahem. Since Xiao Tian is determined to marry your family's Zhu Wangye then I should also be honest with you." Muo Jeng cleared his throat. Shen Tianyu and Rong Jian remained unfazed but Kuian Xiaoli had a worried frown between her brows.
"Actually, this old one is single, has been for all my life. Xiao Tian is certainly my daughter whom I'm immensely proud of but we are not blood related. So, this matter with her mother, I'm thinking of letting one of... the other elders take that place. I wonder if Your Majesty sees this solution as satisfactory?" Muo Jeng continued and threw out a solution. In fact, though Muo Jeng is Shen Tianyu's official adoptive father, she was raised under the care of everyone in Yaodu. After she was fully accepted within the organization, all the elders would teach her a bit of their knowledge. The chef in charge of food was always looking for Shen Tianyu because she deemed her too thin for her age and needed to be fed more. The elder in charge of the medical unit would feed her medicine to help her body become stronger and even started minding the taste of it. The elder in charge of blacksmithing started silently making light child-sized armor and the elder in charge of alchemy started to research how to reduce side-effects of pills that makes one stronger.
