399 The Grand Master Arrives 4

Early the next morning, Qi Qingyao, who had just had breakfast, was planning to go to her room to research and develop various medicines. She had nothing much to do, anyway. Who could have guessed that just as she entered the room with a teapot, Steward Zhang would come over, knock on the door, and report from outside, "Miss, the State Preceptor is here"?

He had come?

Qi Qingyao pondered for a while. "Since it's the State Preceptor, invite him into the side hall. I'll change my clothes and be there soon."

She went back to her personal room and changed into some clothes suitable for meeting guests. Shortly after, she took a pot of tea and went to the side hall. Just a few seconds after sitting down, Steward Zhang led Li Ruoxuan into the hall. Zhu Shen followed behind him, holding a whole lot of gift boxes. He was docile, much like that young eunuch that followed behind the emperor.
