Elder Yu's eyes widened u[on hearing the request. "This..."
"Elder Yu, I know everyone used their own ways to take care of and help me. However, you're the woman I feel closest to and also... there will be a bunch of nosy officials at the banquet. As the bride, I won't be able to attend and Master- Father's social skills and ability to probe nuances is basically null. Out of all the female elders, you're the most suited to dealing with them. I want to keep my true identity a secret for now. Mm... I've already explained it to Mas- Father, that it's not good to let others know too much about us. The rest of the organization would be fine since they mostly reside within the forest but I'm wandering around in the secular world so..." Shen Tianyu trailed off and peeked at Elder Yu from her lowered lashes.
"Haah, so that's why you came to me, huh..." Elder Yu seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. She then raised her head and faced Shen Tianyu. "Alright, if it's fending off those officials, I can try to do my best."
"Mn. Thank you, Elder Yu. Out of all the candidates, you're the best choice in dealing with them." Shen Tianyu nodded her head.
"Then I have no reason to refuse. It is an honor to stand in as our little treasure's mother during your wedding." Elder Yu patted her chest while holding Shen Tianyu's hand. With the matter of her mother's seat settled, Shen Tianyu stayed to chat a bit longer with Elder Yu before leaving.
When she arrived back at the Zhu Wangfu, she found that the Empress had sent for her along with Muo Jeng and Rong Jian. She didn't even have time to change her clothes before she was whisked, once again, to the Imperial Palace.
...
"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress." The three of them greeted once they arrived. Today, the Emperor was sitting beside the Empress at their head seats in the back palace.
"Rise, rise. We're all of the same family, no need for those kinds of distant formalities." The Empress told them.
Shen Tianyu and Muo Jeng thanked the Empress while Rong Jian quietly rose. They took their seats beside the couple and the Empress introduced everyone.
"Guoliang, the man sitting beside Tianyu is her adoptive father, Muo Jeng. Mister Muo, this is Guoliang, Jian'er's father."
"Ah, once again, greetings to the Emperor." Muo Jeng greeted from his seat.
The Emperor raised his hand and uttered "No need".
"What Guoliang means is that there's no need to be so formal. We're all going o be a family and you look to be older than us so it's a bit awkward to be called like so. Just call him Guoliang, or if you're not comfortable with that, Kuian is fine too." The Empress quickly translated for her husband.
"Um... Imperial Mother, the person standing in for my mother has been decided. I'll bring her to the first practice." Shen Tianyu interjected to deliver this news.
"Oh, that's wonderful! I would love to meet her!" The Empress clapped her hands in enthusiasm.
The next few days, were as busy as when Shen Tianyu was setting up Lavender Palace and Lotus Pavilion. Not only did she need to go to classes, she also had to attend the run-throughs of the wedding ceremony along with helping the Empress make sure everything was as it should be. Rong Jian wasn't any different.
One good news was that Tian Yu was found pretty quickly with Muo Jeng's urging and brought to Zhu Wangfu. There, along with Luo Shue who had insisted on coming, they attended to Bai Yaoxuan and helped her heal her dantian and meridians.
There wasn't much change that Rong Jian and Shen Tianyu were thinking of making, other than inviting a few friends that weren't on the guest list or the Empress was unsure of inviting.
...
"Haaah... I'm so tired... I feel like dying. Why does this feel even more tiresome than setting up two businesses consecutively?" Shen Tianyu sighed as she laid haphazardly on her bed.
"Can you be more tired than me?" Bai Yaoxuan returned, flopping down next to her sister.
"Huh? What's been happening?" Shen Tianyu didn't even turn her head.
"The treatment by that doctor and student pair of yours, it both hurts and feels sore. And then it feels like ice water running through my veins. And I have to go through that for hours a day, you say should I be tired or not?"
"But it's working isn't it?"
"It is, I even made a breakthrough just today." Bai Yaoxuan groaned.
"What level?"
"Just the first."
"Qi Refining?"
"Mhm. But he said I almost broke through to the second but he stopped it."
"Ah, so Peak Stage. That's already quite an achievement. You haven't even been properly cultivating these days, only getting treatment and you broke through to the last stage of Qi Refining. You know, some people never even get past the Initia Stage."
"But I wanted to get strong faster... Most people here are in the Meridians Level..."
"It's not good to be hasty. If you rush through your cultivation, your base will be unsteady. Think of it like building a skyscraper. If you rush to the finish line, there might be various problems in the building. Unstable base, easily cracked walls or missing pillars and such. It's catastrophic collapse would be inevitable and the consequences won't be worth the short-term benefits of the rush job."
"I know, I know. I'll take my time and be careful..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
