~ IT WAS A SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT ~
Mu Yunyao shot another stern look before lowering her head, her voice carrying a little sense of fear . “Reporting to Your Majesty, Mama has taught me before . However, this humble daughter is sincerely curious about what the real Son of Heaven should look like, so I couldn’t resist taking a glance . Please forgive me, Your Majesty . ”
“The real Son of Heaven? Then tell me, are you disappointed when you see me like this?” Although the Emperor felt that Mu Yunyao was bold, he wasn’t too angry in his heart . After all, her eyes were so clear and pure, without the slightest hint of achievement, which makes people feel relieved at a glance . Even he still felt that her final stern look towards him, as if she wasn’t looking at Him enough, and it was somewhat amusing .
Xu Li, who was standing at the side, was nervous . He had a good impression of Mu Yunyao . He had seen her speak and do things very well, so how come she appear in front of the Emperor and was so stunned? She even directly raised her head to looked up the Emperor’s appearance . Wasn’t she asking for trouble?
“Isn’t it true that the real Son of Heaven should grow up to be like the Emperor?” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she quietly looked at the Emperor . Unexpectedly, her gaze met the Emperor’s eyes, and she knelt down in shock for a while . “Your Majesty, please forgive me . ”
The Emperor paused for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh, “Stand up . Your reputation is spread far and wide in Jingling City . If I were to accuse you just because you took a few glances at me, wouldn’t I will be a foolish king if the word about it spread?”
Mu Yunyao stood up as if she felt that the Emperor’s attitude was warm, and the nervousness on her body had disappeared quite a bit . When she spoke, she wasn’t as cautious as before . “Your majesty, this humble daughter wishes to kowtow and thank you first . ” After saying that, without waiting for the Emperor’s reply, she kneeled down once more, meticulously began to perform a kowtow ceremony .The Emperor’s gaze landed on Mu Yunyao as he watched her movements with great interest .
After Mu Yunyao finished bowing, it was as if a load on her mind had been lifted . She looked a lot more relaxed, and her aura seemed to have become a little more lively .
“Why are you so polite and thoughtless?”
“Naturally, it was to thank Your Majesty for your rewards . You gave this humble daughter a lot of things before . You also gave the calligraphy of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo as a reward, so this humble daughter has always wanted to thank you in her heart . ”
“The reason why I am bestowing this upon you is that you have contributed greatly to imparting the embroidery technique to the people . It is only natural for I to do so . ”
Mu Yunyao slightly widened her eyes, seeming to be very surprised, “How could it be? The Emperor’s things weren’t blown by the wind, so of course, I have to thank him for giving me so many things . Moreover, I volunteered to teach the embroidery needle technique back then, and the Emperor’s reward was my recognition . It’s a rare thing to get your recognition, so this humble daughter has always been deeply grateful . ”
The Emperor was a little surprised, but Mu Yunyao’s expression was too sincere . The words that came out sounded pleasing to his ears and carried a hint of sincerity, making his displeased mood ease up a little, “If the officials thought like you, then they would have given me less trouble, and I can worry less . ”
Mu Yunyao nodded in an exceptionally natural manner, “In order for the Emperor to raise all the people in the world, it is indeed made you worry so much . ”
Raise all the people in the world?
“Girl, you’re quite straightforward . Raise your head . ” He couldn’t help but be curious about Mu Yunyao’s appearance . Just now, when he hastily glanced at her, he noticed that her eyes were black and white, clear enough to see the bottom, making it unforgettable for anyone to see, but he didn’t have the time to look at her .
Speaking of which, the congratulatory gifts that Mu Yunyao had sent him several times were very much in line with his wishes . Moreover, she was still young, but the things she had done were not small . In particular, this time, she gave back to the people of Jingling City, and she had helped to raise two hundred thousand taels of silver from the people of Jingling City . If the following few years were to pass, the entire city would have to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver . If there were any natural disasters in the next few years, there would be no need for the Imperial Court to provide relief .
It was a splendid achievement .
“Then, Your Majesty, you have to be careful, don’t be scared by me . ” Mu Yunyao first spoke a word of warning before raising her head .
“Don’t tell me you look so . . . ” Hearing Mu Yunyao’s reminder, the Emperor felt it was laughable in his heart, and his tone couldn’t help but relaxed . Just as he was about to joke and ask if she looked horribly ugly, the words suddenly stopped at his mouth .
Xu Li, who was standing at the side, also peeked over . He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when he took a glace . It’s . . . , Is that Miss Mu’s face was ruined? What’s wrong? Why does it look blue and purple?
The great hall was quiet for a while, then Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head in embarrassment, once again bowing to the Emperor: “This humble daughter is rash, please forgive me, Your Majesty . ”
When her voice came to his ear, the Emperor suddenly regained his mind and looked at Mu Yunyao with a slightly different look . His absent-mindedness was not because Mu Yunyao’s face had a purplish palm mark on it . But, because her appearance was actually similar to his Imperial Older Sister when she was young, the Grand Princess Yi De .
It had always been said that the Heaven Family was heartless, but he did not believe these words . In these many years, the relationship between him and his Imperial Older Sister had always been deep . Moreover, the guilt in his heart had deepened as he grew older . At this time, when he saw Mu Yunyao, who looks a little like his Imperial Older Sister, he couldn’t help feeling more close . “You get up and talk . Xu Li, give her a seat . ”
Xu Li quickly moved the stool over, and Mu Yunyao sat down properly and let out a sigh of relief .
“What happened to the wound on your face?”
“In order to respond to the Emperor, I was beaten up by the young lady of the Meng family, Meng Yanran . ” Mu Yunyao bluntly replied .
“ . . . Why did she hit you? Was it because you did something wrong?”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head, her tone calm and without fear . “I have only been in the Capital for two days, so I don’t have the time to do anything even if I wanted to . According to Miss Meng, it’s because I was born of lowly status . Moreover, I opened Ni Yunfang and Bu Xian Luo, so she thought that I did all the dirty work of the merchants, and she looked at me with displeasure, deliberately framing me, then finding excuses to punish me . ”
Xu Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath . Was Miss Mu’s accusation a little too straightforward?
