Chapter 111

Repaying The Emperor

Mu Yunyao nodded firmly, “Actually, I already had an idea in my heart . It was just that I didn’t dare to hope for it . Now that such a great fortune has struck my head, it was finally able to make my dream come true . ”

Hearing her words, Lady Jin felt that it was even more playful . “Tell me about it first . ” If it didn’t work, she could persuade her to change it .

“I want to ask a piece of calligraphy to the Emperor and write down the three characters of Ni Yun Fang . Then, after I rebuild Ni Yun Fang, I will make a signboard and hang it on it . I don’t think that there will be anyone who dares to act against Ni Yun Fang in the future!”

When Lady Jin heard it, she couldn’t help but nod her head . “I was afraid that you wouldn’t think of something suitable in your hurry, but I didn’t expect that your consideration would be even better than mine . Indeed, this is good . Then when Lord Su wants to talk to you, you can tell him about this request . “

Yin Hong entered the room and reported, “Madam, Master sent someone to invite Miss Mu to come to the front hall . ”

“Got it . ” Lady Jin nodded at Mu Yunyao, “Go quickly . ”

Su Qingwu was sitting at the side of Governor Zhang . When he heard the servant’s announcement, he stopped drinking his tea, and his eyes involuntarily look towards the door .

Mu Yunyao slowly walked in and greeted everyone with full of proper etiquette . “Greetings, Lords . ”

After recuperating for a few days, most of her body had recovered . However, her complexion was still pale, and her chin was a bit sharper than before, making her bright eyes look bigger . And with a slight lift of the eyes, the brilliance flowed slowly, which was notably moving .

Su Qingwu retracted her gaze . In his heart, he couldn’t help but think of that night when her arm felt that tenderness . She looked small, but her bones seemed to be soft . People should be extra careful when they touch them .

“Lord Su?” Governor Zhang looked at Su Qingwu with some doubt . He naturally felt that the news that came from the Capital was more appropriate .

Su Qingwu immediately came back to reality and said: “Miss Mu’s Ni Yun Fang has rendered meritorious services to Jingling City, the Emperor is willing to reward you . Because he has already given you previously, I was unable to think of anything else suitable for you . So I especially sent you an order to ask if you have anything else you would like . ”

The moment she entered, Mu Yunyao noticed that a middle-aged man sat beside Su Qingwu . Although he dressed in the attire of an ordinary person, his face was pale white without a beard, and there was a hint of femininity on his body . He was obviously from an inner servant and was probably the person who came to the Jingling City to pass down the orders from the Emperor .

After figuring out the crux of the matter, first, she turned around and kowtowed in the direction of the Capital, then respectfully kowtowing towards Su Qingwu, “Lord Su, thanks to the Emperor’s bestowment . This humble girl is really terrified and deeply grateful . This humble one with the mother having come to the Jingling City for the first time and receiving the care of both the people of Jingling City and Lady Jin . Thinking that I have no way to repay them and that my embroidery technique skills are the only thing I can take out, I decided to publicly teach it to repay him for what he has done in the Jingling City, and I never dare to claim the credit . ”

Su Qingwu squinted his eyes slightly, and the rest of his eyes swept to Eunuch Xu, who stood on his side, and his lips lifted slightly . Mu Yunyao said that the purpose of spreading the embroidery technique skills was to earn silver, but now, it had become a form of repayment to the Jingling City .

“Miss Mu’s thoughts are rarely hard to come by . However, Your Majesty has said such golden words . Since he said that he wants to reward you, you should speak boldly . ”

Mu Yunyao’s face filled with surprise and gratitude . Her clear eyes could cause one’s heart to tremble . She then turned and bowed towards the direction of the Capital again, and spoke with slight hesitation: “Speaking of which, this humble girl does indeed have a bold wish . ”

Eunuch Xu by Su Qingwu’s side could not help but speak up . “If Miss has any wish, feel free to speak . ” The little girl’s eyes look intelligent and beautiful . Anyone who saw them would involuntarily feel a sense of happiness .

Mu Yunyao’s face turned slightly red, the embarrassment in her eyes almost spilled out, causing Eunuch Xu to become even more curious . He could not help but think in his heart, looking at her expression, could it be that she had the intention of accompanying the Emperor?

Mu Yunyao hesitated for a moment, and finally said, “I want to request a piece of the Emperor’s calligraphy . ”

Eunuch Xu was startled, then secretly slapped himself in his heart . He had really stayed in the Palace for too long, and thought of people’s minds are dark . The young lady in front of him was not only young . But just by looking at her clear and limpid appearance, she did not have any random thoughts .

Sensing the great impression Eunuch Xu had of Mu Yunyao, Su Qingwu couldn’t help but scrutinize her carefully . Others might not know, but he was clear of this fact . The Eunuch Xu in front of him was called Xu Li . He is the person who had the highest possibility of being promoted to the head of the inner servant . He was very trusted by the Emperor, and who knew how many people gave up all hope to get a worthy word from him . In the end, they all became ambiguous, causing people to be unable to make heads or tails of it . But Mu Yunyao seems to have touched his veins .

A hint of surprise flashed past Eunuch Xu’s eyes . “Miss wants to request for Your Majesty’s calligraphy?”

“Yes, the Emperor’s grace is great . His true dragon form is majestic and awe-inspiring . This calligraphy also has the aura of a True Dragon and will certainly be able to bless the prosperity and well-being of the people . ”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was gorgeous, her eyes sparkling bright, and her small face that was the size of a palm seemed to be shining, to the point where even Eunuch Xu himself could not help but stare blankly . This little girl was extraordinary!

In the Palace, when he served the Emperor, even the most upright officials would sometimes flatter the Emperor . However, he had never seen anyone who flattery words sincerely .

“In that case, I’ll go back and report what Miss Mu said to the Emperor . ”

The smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes became even brighter . “Many thanks, Sir . ” It was good to report back . The reason she was acting like this was so that Eunuch Xu could speak up in front of the Emperor!

“Lord, my teahouse will open tomorrow . There is a batch of tea leaves that I personally made . I don’t know if I can ask my Lord to present them to the Emperor as a gift in return, expressing my gratitude . ”

Eunuch Xu was stunned . He had seen many people receive rewards from the Emperor, but he had never seen anyone return the Emperor’s favor after receiving the gift . “About this …”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes slightly, her fingers twisting uneasily, and her voice became a little depressed: “I’m good at embroidery, but unfortunately, my hand is injured, and I’m unable to embroider a screen to report to the Emperor . So I can only take out the tea leaves that I had personally made earlier and brought them out and hope the Emperor can feel my gratitude . ”

“To tell you the truth, my lady . Everything at the entrance of the Emperor’s Palace has to go through layers upon layers of screening . This tea is also a tribute to be designated . The tea leaves that the girl personally made are rare, but I’m afraid it won’t be able to enter the Palace . ”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes filled with disappointment, and then they flashed with hope again . “So it’s like that? “I wonder if I could give the tea leaves to Sir, and ask Sir to bring the leaves to the Capital for a drink . This way, it can also be considered as me sending my good intentions to the Capital . ”

Eunuch Xu was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter . “ Alright then, I also love tea . I think I can try Miss’s craftsmanship . ” The little girl in front of him had the heart of a pure child . It was too hard to come by .
