Chapter 278: Conferring the Imperial Master
Mu Chongli also looked shocked and panicked.
Mu Wanwan and Si Yuan were not panicked at all. The two children were their bloodline and naturally inherited their divine powers.
But seeing Mu Chongli and Lin were so worried, Si Yuan and Mu Qiming flashed like two streaks of light and flew into the air in an instant, holding Xiao Huai'er and Xiao Xier steadily in their arms.
Xiao Jinghuai and Xiao Jingxi became even more excited when they saw the two people who suddenly appeared.
Little Jingxi clapped her hands and giggled, saying, "Grandpa, Xixi and brother are flying like big birds."
Mu Qiming gently scratched Jingxi's nose and said with a smile: "Xixi is really amazing."
"Jing Huai is also very good!" Little Jing Huai proudly puffed out his chest, his eyes full of pride.
Si Yuan and Mu Qiming slowly landed on the ground with the two little guys, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin rushed over and hugged the two children tightly. "You two little rascals scared your grandma to death." She cried and said, her hands constantly groping the two little guys, fearing that they were feeling uncomfortable.
Little Jinghuai and Little Jingxi were a little overwhelmed by Lin's reaction. Little Jinghuai stretched out his little hand, wiped the tears from Lin's face, and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, don't cry, we're fine."
Little Jingxi also came over, kissed Lin's cheek, and said innocently: "Grandma, we flew so high and saw so many beautiful flowers." Lin burst into laughter and hugged them tightly.
"Mom, don't worry. These two children have eaten the spiritual fruits given by Taotao before, so they have a rare physique for cultivating immortals. They will be fine." Mu Wanwan comforted softly.
The two children did not eat any spiritual fruits, but were born with divine bodies and inherited the powerful bloodlines of Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan.
However, Taotao did give the two children a lot of good food, and she did not lie to Lin.
Mu Chongli and Lin also knew that Wanwan had great abilities. Her biological parents were powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation, so it was natural that the child they gave birth to would be extraordinary.
But they couldn't help but feel frightened by the scene just now.
"What happened today must not be spread outside." Mu Chongli warned in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over everyone.
The servants in the courtyard all nodded their heads, and although they were shocked, they dared not say much.
These people have signed a life and death contract with the mansion. They will only be well if the mansion is well, so they naturally understand the seriousness of the matter and will never reveal a single word.
The two children were flying in the air, and people outside could definitely see them, but they couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far, so they could just give an explanation and let it go.
Mu Chongli didn't want his two children to be talked about by outsiders.
The two children were fine, so everyone returned to the main hall and chatted for a while before returning to the Prince's Mansion.
..............................
Day two.
"Don't worry, Dad has passed the driving test in modern times, so there will be no problem." When they returned to the Prince's Mansion yesterday, they did not use teleportation.
Instead, he walked around the street and saw the cars on the road. Mu Qiming didn't expect that Wanwan actually sold the cars in ancient times.
Today they were going to attend a banquet in the palace. Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan were both wearing the gorgeous attire of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, so it was not very convenient to drive, so they planned to let the shadow guards drive.
But Mu Qiming wanted to drive himself. He had been itching to do so yesterday. Although teleportation would be much faster, he still missed the feeling of driving.
After all, the experience is different.
So he volunteered to take on the task of driving.
He got his modern driver's license through actual test. Even though he hadn't driven for more than ten years, as cultivators, they had a photographic memory and had no problem with basic operations.
The group set off in a mighty procession, with the shadow guards leading the way and Mu Qiming following behind in the car.
The roads in Ruilan Capital are no different from those in modern times. There are neat green belts on both sides of the roads, and the surrounding shops have also been renovated.
The overall architecture still has an ancient style, but modern elements are incorporated into the details, making it look both simple and novel.
Hall of Supreme Harmony
The royal family and ministers were all present. Si Yuchen originally wanted to hold a family dinner at his in-laws' home.
But considering that the two relatives were also well-known figures in the world of immortal cultivation, they decided to hold a grand ceremony.
Gu Hong and Si Yijing also rushed back from the border, and they also received the ginseng medicine from Mu Wanwan.
Si Yijing is still young and no major changes can be seen. However, Gu Hongben has been treated in the medical cabin and now looks radiant and at least 20 years younger.
They had received Si Yuchen's message yesterday. After arranging the military affairs, they rushed and finally arrived at the palace before the banquet.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was ablaze with lights, and the huge crystal chandelier cast bright light.
Several air conditioners were running at the same time, bringing a hint of coolness.
Si Yuchen and Gu Qingwan walked in, and everyone stood up and saluted.
Si Yuchen raised his hand and motioned everyone to take a seat.
As the king of a country, he should have sat at the top of the hall, but for today's dinner, Si Yuchen asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to set up several large round tables in the hall.
He had seen videos of modern dinner parties on his phone and thought it was more cozy to sit together like this, so he decided to follow suit.
There is also an automatically rotating dinner plate on the round table, which is filled with exquisite dishes.
No matter what dish you want to eat, just turn it lightly and it will be delivered to you.
It is much simpler than the previous complicated etiquette.
The ministers were very curious about Mu Qiming and Shen Yun who were sitting at the main table, and secretly guessed their identities.
"My dear ministers, today we hold this banquet to welcome two distinguished guests. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were traveling abroad, and thanks to the assistance of these two distinguished guests, they were able to return safely."
"I have already asked the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to recognize him and his wife as godparents."
There was an uproar in the hall. Who were these two people and why did they allow the king of a country to become their godparents?
Si Yuchen winked at Xiao Shunzi beside him, and Xiao Shunzi understood what he meant.
He walked to the center of the hall in small steps, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
Xiao Shunzi cleared his throat and opened the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Mu Qiming, who understands the transformations of yin and yang and the principles of the five elements, is hereby appointed Imperial Master, bestowed with a golden seal, and placed in charge of the Imperial Observatory."
This was also what Si Yuchen had discussed with Mu Wanwan and the others before. After all, Wanwan's external identity has always been the daughter of Prime Minister Mu.
If another pair of parents showed up, it would probably cause another discussion.
As for the position of national teacher, it is also to arrange an identity for Mu Qiming and Shen Yun in Ruilan. Although the two will not stay in Ruilan for long, they are Wanwan's biological parents, so he naturally has to arrange a noble identity for them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Qiming stepped forward and bowed.
There are a group of officials in the Imperial Observatory, and his position as the Imperial Master is a sinecure.
