Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Simply the Biggest Joke in the World!_1

”I dare not, I dare not,” Prime Minister Li said in great alarm.

After being invited into the main hall by Prime Minister Li, An Jing spoke again, ”Prime Minister, I won’t stand on ceremony with you, Wuyu must have already told you, she has become my disciple.”

”Yes, my daughter has indeed informed me of her apprenticeship under the Princess, and I am grateful that the Princess did not spurn her.”

While Prime Minister Li said this, he actually did not believe that An Jing had taken Li Wuyu as a disciple at first.

A woman taking on another woman as a disciple, for martial arts training no less? It was preposterous!

But when Li Wuyu performed three sets of military boxing and a set of staff techniques for him, claiming they were taught by An Jing and Xiao Changyi, he had no choice but to believe it.

At that moment, he was astonished at how An Jing, a farmer’s daughter, knew military boxing; in his many years as the Prime Minister, even when inspecting military camps, he had never heard of such a thing in the Xiyun Army. However, his daughter Li Wuyu also told him that the military boxing was actually taught to An Jing by Xiao Changyi, as a way to strengthen and condition her body.

Xiao Changyi, who else could he be but the King of Eternal Victory—invincible in a hundred battles. It was not unusual for him to have created three sets of military boxing; there was nothing for him to be skeptical about.

With this in mind, Prime Minister Li turned to Xiao Changyi and said with a bow, ”Prince, my daughter also told me that the Prince has created three sets of military boxing and even demonstrated them to me. They not only enhance physical fitness but also serve well in combat, being extremely refined and easy to understand and learn. I hope the Prince can report this to the Emperor so it may be promoted within the army.”

True to his role as a great helper to the Emperor of Xiyun, he raised a matter of national importance the moment he spoke!

An Jingxin inwardly sighed, then said, ”Prime Minister, you discuss important matters. I won’t interfere. I’m here to see Wuyu—where is she? Could you conveniently send someone to lead me to her?”

”The Princess need not worry about it, of course, it’s convenient. My daughter is quite unladylike, practicing horse stance in the backyard right now. I will have someone guide you there immediately.” With that, Prime Minister Li quickly found a maidservant to lead An Jing to Li Wuyu.

An Jing smiled, using eye contact to soothe Xiao Changyi, and her gaze conveyed that if he wished to promote those three sets of military boxing within the Xiyun Army, she had no objections.

Then An Jing went to the backyard to find Li Wuyu.

Upon seeing An Jing, Li Wuyu stopped practicing the horse stance and ran up to her, exclaiming with delight, ”Master, how have you come?”

Without waiting for An Jing to reply, Li Wuyu went on by herself, ”Master, Master-Father and you coming to the Imperial Capital, I wanted to see you, but I can’t just enter and leave the palace at will. I could only sit at home and wait for the day when Master thinks of me and summons me to meet in the palace.”

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Sitting at home? You were clearly standing at home.”

”Master, you’re just teasing me,” Li Wuyu said, not offended as she knew An Jing was referring to her practicing the horse stance.

Then Li Wuyu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the small tiger-faced figure in An Jing’s hand, ”Did Master buy this for me?”

Seeing Li Wuyu’s hopeful and delighted expression at the sight of the little tiger, An Jing almost felt bad to disappoint her, but the small tiger was a gift from her husband, and she would absolutely not give it away.

So she shook her head, ”No, this was bought for me by your Master-Father.”

Li Wuyu immediately felt both disappointment and envy, ”Master-Father is really extra good to you, Master... I truly hope Master-Father and Master will always be this way...”

An Jing, sensing something amiss, frowned and said, ”That last part—the way you said it sounded rather off to me?”
