Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Mu Qingli slowly sat down on the chair, his lips slightly raised as he listened to her words, and he looked up at her casually.

"It's time to come back, so let's proceed as planned. Xiaoxue, send a signal to the building."

Several maids nodded in agreement, especially Qixue, who was sitting quietly in a daze. Her eyes lit up and she immediately jumped up and nodded repeatedly.

Then he walked to the window, opened the pouch at his waist, took out a jade whistle, and blew out a few strange rhythms at random.

Soon a few sparrows flapped their wings and flew to the window, looking at her with their heads tilted.

Qixue smiled and whispered a few words to the sparrows, then waved her hand and the sparrows flew away, flying straight in one direction.

There was no need to send a special message at this time. As long as everyone saw the sparrow flying back, they would understand everything. After all, this plan had been agreed upon long ago.

Seeing the sparrow fly away, Qiu Jin smiled and spoke about how Gu Luoheng showed off his sword in Baibao Tower and was then taken a fancy to by the Prince of Bian, who forced him to buy it. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Master, Master Gu was not like this before. He seems to be doing this on purpose."

Qilan was also very curious when she heard this. She didn't expect such a commotion to happen right after she left. If she had known this, she wouldn't have been so anxious to come back and report.

Mu Qingli sipped the tea slowly, his eyebrows slightly raised with a hint of smile, and the light in his eyes was as fine and gentle as the setting sun casting onto the lake.

"When Qilan asked him that before, he was nervous, afraid that I would really misunderstand. Otherwise, with his personality, he would never do such a thing to show off in front of others, let alone in front of so many people."

In fact, Qilan's guess was correct. She was just teasing someone on purpose. After all, she had experienced such deep affection in her previous life and she never doubted Gu Luoheng's feelings for her. It was just that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so teasing him occasionally was more conducive to their relationship.

After thinking for a while, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Qiu Jin.

"I'll add another pot of tea to the Gu family's table tomorrow. I'll make it myself. He likes Junshan Yinzhen and Aunt Fang likes Biluochun. Let's serve them both when the time comes."

Qiu Jin smiled and bowed in agreement, with a faint smile on her lips.

Tomorrow is the girl's coming-of-age ceremony. She has so many things to do, but she still has to make tea for Mr. Gu personally. Isn't this thoughtfulness?

"By the way, remember to send a bowl of calming soup to my brother tonight, otherwise he might not be able to sleep at night."

Mu Qingli pressed his eyebrows helplessly and sighed softly.

I was having a great chat with my brother just now, and I accidentally revealed too much. I guess my brother was really surprised. When he went back to look at the sword, he looked like he had lost his soul.

The maids looked at each other, smiled and nodded, and continued to accompany her quietly, just like the five years they spent in the Ferry Pavilion.

The night passed quickly, and Mu Qingli got up early in the morning and started to dress up. After all, today was her coming-of-age ceremony and her first appearance in Beijing after five years. She also wanted someone to take a good look at her current appearance.

The family's eldest daughter's coming-of-age ceremony was given great importance in the mansion. Even Mu Fushu got up early to help his mother with the arrangements, and the entire mansion was bustling with activity.

Qilan hurried in with a box and handed it to Mu Qingli with a smile, her tone a little excited.

"Miss, Master Fu has returned and brought you a gift from Master, wishing you a smooth and successful coming-of-age ceremony."

Mu Qingli had just finished putting on her makeup and turned around with a rare look of surprise. Her eyes almost instantly fell on the box in her hand. She took it with a smile and saw a jade pendant with a jasper flower and a pearl hairpin with kingfisher feathers inside.

She casually found a suitable position on her head and inserted the hairpin, then made a comment with a smile.

"Sometimes I think my parents are truly a couple. They even think of the same gifts. Luckily, they are similar in color so it doesn't look strange when put together."

Qilan also understood her thoughts and knew that she valued the feelings of those around her. She then raised her hand and helped hang the jade pendant around her waist with a smile.

"Miss, you are so beautiful today. I suggest you put on that shark silk as well. I guarantee that Master Gu will be stunned by it."

Mu Qingli glanced at her sideways with some helplessness, thought about it and finally nodded.

"...Okay, go get it. You've been talking about it since yesterday. How about you wear yours today and let me see it?"

Qilan smiled, revealing two dimples on her face, stuck out her tongue playfully, and turned to get clothes from the box.

"I won't wear it. I still have to attend to the young lady's coming-of-age ceremony. Madam and Master have already gone to the front to greet the guests. You'd better put it on quickly and go to the front yard to attend the ceremony."

Mu Qingli smiled, quickly put on a shark silk coat according to her wishes, and then followed her to the front yard.

The process of the coming-of-age ceremony is actually a bit complicated. First, the guests are greeted and seated, then the host gives a speech, announcing the start of the coming-of-age ceremony, and then she is required to appear and prepare to receive the coming-of-age ceremony.

Soon she arrived at the front yard. Cheng Qin smiled and waved to let her come over. She smiled and walked gracefully towards her mother.

At this time, a temporary stage had been set up in the main hall used for banquets. She stood on it with a smile and soon heard a few exclamations from the guests watching below.

Mu Qingli's appearance was originally delicate and fair, and now with this smile, she was even more charming and beautiful. Everyone in the world valued beauty, and many people couldn't take their eyes off her.

The main guest responsible for reciting the speech was Fang Jiale. After reciting the speech for her with a smile, he knelt down to comb her hair and put on a hairpin.

At this time, Mu Qingli still needed to change into a plain dress to thank her parents for raising her. When she left, she did not forget to thank Aunt Fang in a low voice.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Aunt Fang."

"Good boy, go ahead."

Fang Jiale looked at her with gentle eyes and an undisguised smile on her lips. To her, this girl was not only her good friend's daughter but also her future daughter-in-law, so she was happy no matter how she looked at her. So when Cheng Qin told her that he wanted her to be the main guest, she almost agreed without hesitation.

Mu Qingli quickly changed her clothes and came out to thank Cheng Qin for raising her. Fang Jiale then stepped forward to put a hairpin on her hair. She went into the inner room again to change into a long gown with curved hems and thanked Fang Jiale for his teaching.

Then she added the hairpins and crown, and went into the house to change her dress. This time, she wore a crimson purple horse-face skirt with dark patterns covered with shark gauze. As she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed like a flower, making her look gorgeous.

Finally, she took her seat. The guest of honor gave her wine and then a name. Her name was the same as her brother's name when he was given one. Mu Qingli thanked him with a smile and then expressed her gratitude to all the participants.

This marked the end of the ceremony, and Cheng Qin quickly asked people to serve the dishes.

Mu Qingli sat quietly beside her mother and sensitively noticed a passionate gaze staring at her. She subconsciously turned her head to look over and her expression instantly became strange.

How could it be him?
