At the break of dawn, Mu Lianxiao got up.
The charcoal brazier in the room made him feel hot all over. He slid on his shoes and pushed open the window, letting the cold northern wind rush in, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Practicing martial arts was something he did every day, regardless of the season. It had been a rule set by the Old Marquis, and over the years, Mu Lianxiao had become accustomed to it.
Yun Qi jogged into the courtyard and immediately saw Mu Lianxiao practicing his punches.
Even though it was the coldest winter, Mu Lianxiao was sweating profusely.
Yun Qi grinned and called out "Master", then turned to fetch water from the kitchen with another servant, Jiuxi.
Jiuxi rubbed his hands, exhaling a puff of white breath: "Tell me, who else does what our master does? Practicing on New Year's Eve, practicing during the New Year, and even on his wedding day, he's practicing."
Yun Qi burst out laughing.
