Chapter 468
Sigh, forget it. If she wants to address me as Master, I should just let her. Otherwise, shes going to cry again.
The number one swordsman in the world didnt realise in the slightest that this set of tricks was exactly the same as when Song Jinglan used to change the way he addressed him from Mr. Ji to Uncle Ji.
He had always lived alone and had no wife or children. He had long been used to coming and going without being greeted by anyone. Now that he had an extra disciple who greeted him every day, calling him Master every couple of minutes, he felt like he had somehow gained a daughter.
The feelingwasnt all that bad!
He had never lived in the palace for a long time before, but this time, he remained there from summer to autumn.
Uncle Rong Heng, who Song Jinglan sent to deal with the flood situation, finally returned to Lincheng during the autumn season. He thought he wouldnt be able to see his good friend again, but he was surprised to know that Ji Liang was still residing in the palace when he returned.
The next day, he brought the two jars of wine he had buried under the plum tree last winter to look for Ji Liang with great anticipation.
When Ji Liang saw his friend, a smile broke out on his constantly expressionless face. The two have similar personalities, and when they were younger, they declared each other as sworn friends. Otherwise, Rong Heng would not have left the other in charge of protecting Song Jinglan in the Great Lin Empire.
The two had a good time drinking and chatting about their lives. When the evening approached, someone could be heard knocking on the door suddenly.
Rong Heng knew that his friend was withdrawn and liked to be left alone. The palace servants would never come here even if they were ordered to, so why would someone be knocking on the door?
Just as he was wondering, he saw that Ji Liang had gotten up and was headed towards the door as if this was a natural occurrence.
Holding his wine glass, Rong Heng followed to the door and leaned against the door frame to look out. When he saw Lin Feilu standing outside the door, he raised his fox-shaped eyes in surprise.
He and Lin Feilu have yet to see each other much. After all, although he was the uncle of the Emperor, there were still differences between the royal court and the harem. In addition, he had a lot of things to do as Song Jinglan trusted him. He handled the political affairs of the Song Empire, and sometimes, he would be sent to different parts of the country to resolve certain matters. Since he wasnt in Lincheng for a long time, he didnt even manage to attend the wedding of the Emperor and Empress.
Its just that he went to meet the Empress Dowager upon his present return. When Empress Dowager talked about the little Empress, she addressed the girl as Little Lu. Plus, she had stated that the little girl was quite adorable, which surprised him slightly.
Rong Heng originally planned to take advantage of this return to meet the girl whom His Majesty placed on top of his heart, but he didnt expect that he would be able to meet her here.
Ji Liang asked, Whats wrong?
The little Empresss voice sounded cute: Master, I still dont know how to do this move.
Master?
Rong Heng was even more surprised.
What surprised him even more, was that his friend just left him hanging and began to concentrate on teaching the little Empress the sword move. It was as if Ji Liang had completely forgotten that he was still waiting inside the house.
