Time Travel and Love

Chu Qingmeng was already fast asleep when they returned to the mansion. Her health wasn't as good as it could be, and the day's travels had drained her of her strength. Mo Liujin carried Chu Qingmeng from the carriage, leaving the colleagues who had just been escorted out of the general's mansion stunned. The Marquis of Zhengbei was speechless for a moment. He knew the general was deeply in love and loved his wife dearly, but he wouldn't be so disregarding of propriety and morality, right?

"General, why are you doing this?" Before the Marquis of Zhengbei could even open his mouth, General Qibei couldn't help but complain.

"My wife is weak." Mo Liujin didn't want to make any unnecessary explanations, but just carried Chu Qingmeng towards the mansion.

"..."Zhengbei Hou's expression was indescribable. Weak? The story of the eldest princess firing three arrows in the military camp and humiliating Ling Xiao was spread everywhere. Could a woman who could shoot a bow be described as 'weak'?

Mo Liujin settled Chu Qingmeng before returning to the front yard to meet everyone. This delay delayed his meeting with Mo Chenfeng, but the matter was not urgent, so he could go tomorrow.

The next morning, when Chu Qingmeng woke up again, Mo Liujin had already been at the palace for a long time. He woke up groggily, then remembered that he had an appointment with Li's parents to come over for a chat. He had also invited Xu's parents and the generals Mo Liujin was friendly with in the afternoon, and there would be a moving-in banquet in the evening.

Just as she woke up, Chunhe came in. "Miss, I was just about to call you. It's already morning. We need to get up early today. Lord Li should be here by afternoon. Princess Sinong is already waiting for you in the front hall."

Chu Qingmeng was still in a daze, and let Chunhe help her wash and dress. When she was almost done, Mo Liujin came back, and the two went to the front hall together.

"You can really sleep well, right? You haven't slept since you came back yesterday, have you?" Mu Lingxue was somewhat surprised when she saw Chu Qingmeng, who was still a little confused.

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng responded in confusion and drank a sip of hot tea to try to make himself fully awake. Xia Zhi handed him the pill at the right time. After eating it, Chu Qingmeng suddenly realized why his father had been giving him pills so frequently recently?

Mo Liujin glanced at her and gave her a helpless smile. Even with his frantic training, he couldn't catch up to her. All she did was sleep and take elixirs. His magical power had advanced even further, but with each new level, his body changed. He could now control the growth and disappearance of the scales covering his body. But he still didn't know how to apply this magical power to his daily life.

Before they had sat down for a moment, the doorman came to report that Mr. Li and his group had arrived. They were welcomed in and sat down in the front hall. After a few small talk, they got down to business.

"To be honest, my family is not destined to have both a son and a daughter. Madam Li is lucky." Mu Lingxue lowered her attitude because she wanted to find a wife for her son.

"Princess Sinong, that's not true! You're bringing great fortune to your children and grandchildren." Madam Li knew the reason for her visit today. Her eldest daughter had already gone home and explained her willingness. After all, her youngest daughter was the apple of her eye, so naturally she wanted a good marriage within the royal family. The Li family held low official positions, and they benefited from Jiang Qing's father's status as a bastard and the hardships of guarding the frontier. Otherwise, how could their daughter have possibly married into the royal family? She hadn't imagined Jiang Qing's family would ever reach such a glorious time.

"My daughter Qingyun is well-educated, dignified and quiet. She manages the household well and runs the family in moderation. As for me, I have benefited from my in-laws. Otherwise, how could I have such an easy time all day long?" Chu Qingmeng really liked Li and was not shy about praising her.

Mrs. Li blushed at her praise and said, "Mother, this is what a daughter-in-law should do."

Mother Li was also very happy. She hadn't had much contact with Chu Qingmeng, after all, the difference in status between them was too great. But she was still very happy to hear Chu Qingmeng praising her daughter like this.

Mo Liujin and the others called Mo Jiangzhan over to talk.

"Meet father, Third Uncle, and meet Uncle Li."

The Mohist school's strength lies in the superior appearance of its men, who maintain a graceful and courteous demeanor. Father Li looked on with great satisfaction, nodding his head repeatedly. After several conversations, their knowledge and cultivation had been thoroughly studied. His willingness, already strong, was now even stronger.

Things were almost settled, and everyone was in a good mood. With Mu Lingxue by their side, lunch went quite smoothly. That evening, Xu's father and his wife, along with a group of generals, arrived. Mo Liujue, Mo Liuchen, and Mo Liuteng also arrived, though Mo Liuchen didn't bring his wife.

Everyone sat down and the banquet began. Whenever there was a banquet in the mansion, couples would always sit together. Mo Liujin would not leave Chu Qingmeng alone. He was really scared.

"Please forgive me, everyone. We are dining together as a couple today. My wife is not in good health, and I am really worried about her." Everyone had guessed Mo Liujin's classic opening line.

"The eldest princess is weak, that's as it should be." As a relative, Xu's father understood him.

"General, you are being distant. The eldest princess is unwell, and it is only natural for a husband to take care of his wife." The General of the Cavalry also loves his wife dearly, and he disagrees with Mo Liujin's behavior.
