Chapter 231-235

Chapter 231: One Man Tea Party

"Then... Master, do we send these individually or do we send them all at the same time?" Ming Lu understood that his master was determined to send all these invitation cards to Divine Physician Bai, hence, he asked after hesitating for a moment.

Pei Rumo's hand paused for a second and he only replied after some time, "Deliver them individually. However, she might ask for them all after a few days."

Bai Luochu had just finished her cultivation and she sneezed. She thought to herself, Is Cai Ling right? Did I catch a cold? It seems like I should be putting on more clothes.

Bai Luochu didn't request for Cai Ling to look for her clothes for her. Instead, she opened her wardrobe and prepared to look for thicker clothes herself. Before she was able to find any, Cai Ling entered the room to give her report.

"Mistress, the First Prince's residence suddenly sent an invitation card for you. Do you want to take a look at it?" Cai Ling still didn't know what happened the night before and naturally didn't know the reason behind Pei Rumo's invitation card. In the end, she decided to consult Bai Luochu before doing anything.

When Bai Luochu heard the name 'Pei Rumo', she felt her temples aching subtly as though she had not been sleeping for the past few nights. She cursed in her heart, Pei Rumo acts rather quickly huh? Delivering an invitation card so early in the morning... Is he afraid that I will reject him?

"Bring the invitation card over for me." Bai Luochu really didn't wish to accept this invitation card, but since Pei Rumo had already delivered it to her residence, she couldn't possibly refuse and asked for it to be returned. Even if she returned the card, Pei Rumo might pay her a personal visit to make her accept the invitation card.

Bai Luochu read the invitation card and couldn't see anything wrong with it. The only thing she didn't know was what Pei Rumo wanted to discuss with her.

When Cai Ling saw that her mistress' expression wasn't pleasant, she became rather nervous and asked, "Mistress, what is going on? Is the First Prince trying to make things difficult for you?"

Bai Luochu shook her head and smiled in an attempt to ease Cai Ling. "Nothing much. He just mentioned that he hasn't enjoyed tea with me for a long time and is asking me to join him for tea at his residence. You, on the other hand, need to relax. You are still a young lady. Why are you acting like an old woman?"

"Isn't it because Mistress is always cultivating without a care for other affairs?" Cai Ling muttered softly.

If someone else were to hear it, Cai Ling would be charged with disrespecting her superior. However, Bai Luochu wasn't too particular about her behavior.

'If it is a blessing, it isn't a calamity. If it is a calamity, it will be unavoidable.' Since she wasn't able to escape, she prepared herself to attend Pei Rumo's tea party.

...

"It has been days since we last saw each other. I have been plagued with political affairs while Divine Physician Bai has been having a great time. Not only did you progress in your cultivation, your complexion looks better than before. I am truly envious." Pei Rumo was seated in the reception pavilion as he awaited Bai Luochu's arrival. Now that she appeared before him, sarcastic greetings poured out of his mouth.

Bai Luochu's expression remained unchanged as she replied, "Your First Highness, what are you trying to say? I am a mere carefree idler. How can I compare myself to Your First Highness who has the responsibility of taking care of the nation? Even though Your First Highness feels stressed out, it proves your worth as a capable person."
