Chapter 248 Bestowal of the Title "Yong Le"
"Junior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, I rank second on the Tianji Scholarly List, while you are third. What entitles you to vie with me?"
"The Imperial Tutor's concern for educating the princess lies in scholarly knowledge, not rankings on some literary list..."
Zhang Qingwei never expected his senior brother, who usually cared little for reputation, to use this argument against him. He was so frustrated that his beard bristled and his eyes widened.
"As a tutor of the Jixia Academy, I am no less qualified than you in educating others!"
In the Hall of Nourishing Harmony, Grand Tutor Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei, each sticking to their own views, refused to back down.
Hearing this, Mu Yuyan knew that these two elder teachers were doing their best to instruct the princess for the future of the Jing Nation and herself. However, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Grand Tutor Su Hua was her mentor, but Zhang Qingwei also had merits in her upbringing.
Being biased towards either was not ideal.
She couldn't show favoritism, but she couldn't let the two continue to argue either.
"Both of you, esteemed teachers, are meritorious subjects of the Jing Nation."
"As for who shall serve as the little princess's tutor, I have an idea."
"In three days, Prince Jingyang will host a birthday banquet for the little princess, where guests from all around will come to congratulate her, and she will undergo the Coming of Age Ceremony."
"Both esteemed teachers may each prepare an item for the ceremony. Whichever item the little princess chooses, its owner will become her tutor."
"At the same time, we shall see what fate holds for Princess Simu..."
As Mu Yuyan's words fell, Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei exchanged glances and nodded in unison, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"
After bowing, they each took their leave.
Mu Yuyan did not need to review memorials these days; it was Xiao Feier who helped her with that. Of course, she wasn't there just for memorials; she was there to play with the baby. Every time the little princess smiled at her, her aunt's smile was even brighter than anyone else's!
At this moment, Gu Lan was in the room behind the Hall of Nourishing Harmony, teaching Little Simu to speak.
"Dad—dad—"
"Duoduo! Duoduo!"
"Not Duoduo, it's dad—dad—"
"Duoduo?"
Although Little Simu had been calling her father "Duoduo," Gu Lan remained patient.
Facing such an adorable daughter, he couldn't bring himself to get angry.
While teaching her to speak, he also fed her spirit fruits.
Little Simu's talent for language might not be exceptional, but her love for food was definitely full.
A spirit fruit the size of a fist was quickly reduced to just a core.
The palace maids on the side, all smiling, remained silent, showing no signs of surprise.
Prince Jingyang could be approachable, but they couldn't afford to be without decorum.
The princess was extraordinarily talented, having shown signs from birth, and being able to speak within a month was not considered remarkable.
Moreover, they had gradually grown accustomed to the princess's miraculous abilities over these days.
"Husband, Simu is still young; she should eat fewer spirit fruits every day. Even if it doesn't upset her stomach, it'll spoil her taste."
Mu Yuyan, dressed in a dragon robe, walked in, and the palace maids immediately bowed in respect.
"Wife, it's alright."
"I'm not short of spirit fruits; they're just snacks for me!"
"As long as Simu is happy, she can eat as much as she wants." Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Gu Lan smiled slightly at Mu Yuyan. Over the years, he had no idea how many kinds of spirit fruits he had stored.
Enough to last Little Simu until next year...
Even if they were all consumed, he could still read more medical books every day to ensure that Little Simu had enough spirit fruits.
"Husband, you spoil her. Be careful not to spoil her into a little mischief-maker..."
Mu Yuyan charmingly rolled her eyes.
"Haha!"
"With such an excellent mother as you, Simu will surely be exceptional."
Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan exchanged affectionate words, their eyes full of tenderness.
The palace maids in the room, not surprised at all, kept their eyes on their work, showing no reaction.
This was their daily routine of spreading dog food; they had long been full.
Little Simu, lying in Gu Lan's arms, blinked, glanced at her father and mother, then turned her head to continue gnawing on the spirit fruit.
Who cared about dog food when there were spirit fruits to eat?
"Husband, in three days is Simu's birthday banquet. I've thought of a princess title for her."
"What title?"
"Let's call her Princess Yong Le, signifying peace, joy, and unconstrained freedom... Husband, what do you think?"
Gu Lan's mouth twitched at the words, momentarily speechless.
Princess Yong Le itself was fine, but Gu Lan still didn't want their daughter to be called by that title.
"Simu's birthday is the day of the downfall of the Great Yu, signifying peace. It's the aspiration of thousands of people!"
Seeing Gu Lan's strange expression and lack of response, Mu Yuyan furrowed her brows slightly. "Husband, don't you like the princess title I've thought of?"
"The princess title you've thought of, my dear, is naturally excellent."
"The people of the Jing Nation have suffered from war and naturally long for peace."
"My dear, with the prosperity of the Jing Nation today and the unity of the people, peace is already the desire of the people."
"However, compared to peace in the world, I would rather Simu always be peaceful and joyful, and of course, I hope that the people of the world will always live in peace and tranquility."
"How about we name her Princess Yong Le?"
As Gu Lan's words trailed off, Mu Yuyan's eyes brightened even more.
This title is imposing!
And at this moment in the Jing Nation, there is already peace; there is no need for another Peace Princess. Yong Le is what people desire, and it is also the desire of parents across the land!
What parents don't wish for their children to be safe and joyful?
"Husband, the title you've thought of is really wonderful. I still can't compare to you..." Mu Yuyan blinked, looking deeply into Gu Lan's eyes.
To have such a thoughtful and considerate husband, she felt truly happy in her heart.
At this moment, she seemed to see the scholar she had met at the temple fair.
Love at first sight, I have never regretted it.
"Wife, you are also wonderful!"
Gu Lan met Mu Yuyan's gaze and held her delicate hand.
"Duoduo—Guoguo!"
Just as the two exchanged loving glances, a crisp little voice sounded nearby.
Turning their heads, they saw Little Simu holding up a shiny fruit core, staring intently at Gu Lan, with a hint of saliva still lingering at the corner of her mouth.
"Guoguo!"
Seeing no response from the two, Little Simu called out in her childish voice again, lifting the fruit core in her hand.
Gu Lan: "..."
Mu Yuyan: "..."
...
Unlike the joyous atmosphere in the capital of the Jing Nation, the place where the Blissful Immortal Palace was located in the Immortal Realm was very oppressive.
The Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace and a group of elders were all present in the grand hall, each with a gloomy expression.
Guan Yan, as the Grand Elder of the Blissful Immortal Palace and also an envoy of the Immortal Realm, had just been instantly killed in the Lower Realm!
He hadn't even had time to send back news of the enemy to the Immortal Realm.
All of this indicated that the enemies in the Lower Realm were extraordinary!
This also made every one not only angry but also wary and suspicious in their hearts!
The enemy they faced might very well be someone who could kill an Emperor-level expert in an instant.@@novelbin@@
Such a powerful individual had already earned the Blissful Immortal Palace's solemn attention... even though it was impossible for such a high-level expert to appear in the mortal realm!
"Everyone, with Elder Guan Yan's death, this Lord intends to personally go to the Lower Realm and take down the person from the Lower Realm."
The Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace's eyes flickered, with a hint of sorrow as he said, "But before that, this Lord must immediately go to the Immortal Realm for a banquet."
"This banquet is crucial to whether our Blissful Immortal Palace can rise to the next level, from being a first-class force in the Immortal Realm to becoming a superlative force. It must not be missed..."
