~ AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY IN QUANTITY ~

The Emperor spoke out to praise the princes, so the officials naturally echoed his words. The Palace was bustling with noise and excitement. For a moment, the nobles were drinking and enjoying themselves in harmony.

After the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De drank a cup of wine, they put down their wine cups and looked at Mu Yunyao, “Little Yunyao as been infected with a cold. Are you feeling better now?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood up and bowed as she replied under the envious gazes of the crowd. “Reporting to Your Majesty, it’s almost good.”

“I remember that you were played by someone before, and you asked me for two South Sea Pearls as a reward. You even said that you would give me some more gifts in the future. I have to take a good look. If you don’t give enough, you will be suspected of deceiving the monarch.”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled as she interjected, “Your Majesty shouldn’t scare Yunyao. She’s too timid. If she is frightened, I won’t comply.”

When everyone heard the words of Grand Princess Yi De, everyone sighed inwardly. When they looked at Mu Yunyao again, their eyes were filled with an indescribable solemness. This Miss Mu is about to ascend the branch and become a phoenix!

Su Yuyi quietly sat behind Princess Qingning. She couldn’t help but want to clench her teeth together and said: Why? How could such a good thing be taken away by Mu Yunyao?

Mu Yunyao ignored everyone’s thoughts and respectfully saluted the Emperor. “Reporting to Your Majesty, Yunyao’s gifts are a bit unpresentable and is not on the stage. I hope Your Majesty won’t make a joke of it.”

“Now that you mention it, I’m curious as to exactly what you’re going to give me.”

The Grand Princess Yi De indicated for Qu Mama to come down and make the arrangements. Then, a maid entered the main hall with a gift that Mu Yunyao had prepared.

Everyone eagerly waited. Seeing the clothes the Palace maid had brought up, they inwardly sighed, “Mu Yunyao really knows how to play tricks. If it was an ordinary person, they didn’t dare give the Emperor clothes. However, Mu Yunyao was treated highly by Grand Princess Yi De and would very quickly be recognized as her granddaughter. It is counted as calling the Emperor an uncle, and it is naturally appropriate to send clothes to express her filial piety.

Mu Yunyao gave a set of clothes. The Palace maids carefully unfolded the clothes, and everyone saw the bright yellow clothes embroidered with magnificent golden dragons, dragon claws, dragon scales, dragon whiskers... Every part of its body was vivid and lifelike, especially the eyes. After looking for a long time, they felt a sense of oppression.

The Emperor sighed with emotion. “This set of clothes is excellent. I am a little reluctant to wear it on my body. Your embroidery skills have improved quite a bit.”

“Your Majesty, just put on whatever you want. If you feel that there’s not enough clothes to replace them, I’ll make a few more. Don’t worry that I will be too busy. The embroidery ladies from Ni Yun Fang is also very skilled, and they can all help.”

The Emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Mu Yunyao with a face full of smiles. “Imperial Elder Sister, look at her. This isn’t a present for me. She’s obviously plotting something. She wants us to promote Ni Yun Fang!” If he wore clothes made from Ni Yun Fang, it would be more effective than any golden signboard.

“The Palace dress I am wearing is also from Yunyao’s craftmanship. This child has prepared for us for the past two months. I heard that she has to stay up for many nights to make these two clothes. The Emperor will reward her well later.”

“Indeed, filial piety and kindness deserve to be rewarded.”

The moment the Emperor finished speaking, another maid came forward with a tray.

Mu Yunyao opened her mouth to explain, “Your Majesty, this is the top-level batch of tea fromBu Xian Luo. It has not been sold to the outside world at all, and all has been delivered to you.”

“Alright, then I’ll accept it.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. It was the attendants who came up this time. They have carried more than a dozen large boxes, which looked quite heavy. “Your Majesty, these chests have jade ornaments, precious porcelain, paintings, paintings and calligraphy, and some are solitary books. Anyway, there are many kinds.”

Hearing about jade ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy, and painting, the Emperor couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “You …. These gifts of yours is really too much, and you have given enough.”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, these things have been collected from all over the world. There are many specialties here. Although they are not considered expensive, Yunyao’s wholeheartedness. Please do not mind them, Your Majesty.”

These things were naturally not lacking in the Palace, but Mu Yunyao’s mind was hard to come by. In the past, whether it was the princes or subjects who gave gifts, they were all meticulously chosen and had never been so inattentive. Mu Yunyao brought in so many things in one go as if she was offering treasures to his elder as a junior, which was really a novel experience.

“Put away the gifts given by Mu Yunyao carefully. It’s rare for a girl like you to be filial, so I want to think about what I should reward you with. After all, I’ve received so many gifts from you. If I don’t reward you a little bit heavier, Imperial Elder Sister will say that I have taken advantage.”

Mu Yunyao had a bright smile on her face as her eyes sparkled with starlight. “Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Grand Princess.”

The Sixth Princess Huaiyang squeezed the fruit in her hand vigorously. The fruit cracked open, and the juice stuck onto her hand, causing her to shake her head in disgust. “Seeing Mu Yunyao, I would immediately think of Su Yuyi. Imperial Father, I heard of Su Yuyi’s reputation before and said that her song mink cicadas worshipped the moon are peerless in the world. I wonder if I can still appreciate it again today? ”

Seeing that the Emperor didn’t ask her anymore, Mu Yunyao saluted before returning to her seat.

Su Yuyi had been raised by the Eldest Madam, yet she was a bit ignorant. But if she really tried to please people, not many people would be able to bear it. The Sixth Princess was about to marry Su Qingwu, so it wasn’t unreasonable for her to speak up and help Su Yuyi.

Hearing Su Yuyi’s name, the Emperor remembered the breathtaking dance during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, he didn’t have any good feelings towards the Su family, so he didn’t want the Su family to be in front of him to ruin his mood.

The Emperor turned his head to speak to Grand Princess Yi De, ignoring the words that the Sixth Princess had raised.

Su Yuyi sat behind Princess Qingning and felt her face turn red as if she was being looked at with mockery. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Yunyao and saw Mu Yunyao’s indifferent gaze, as if she didn’t even have the slightest bit of threat in her eyes. She could throw it aside like a stone on the side of the road.

She can bear the contempt of others, but she can’t tolerate Mu Yunyao’s vision. The Su family was prosperous originally. Her father was highly valued by the Emperor, while her mother was in charge of the household.

She should follow her mother’s plan step by step to spread her reputation, be sought after by everyone, and receive the praises of the masses. Then she was favored by Jin Wang and eventually realized her dream of becoming an Empress.

But Mu Yunyao was like a nightmare that suddenly descended upon the Su family, enveloping her head and shattering all of her beautiful fantasies to pieces.

“Your Majesty, this humble subject’s daughter has recenty practiced a new kind of Xu Huan dance and would like to take this opportunity to offer it to Your Majesty as an entertainment.” As soon as these words came out, many concubines in the harem looked at Su Yuyi with stern expressions.

Su Yuyi was so focused on suppressing Mu Yunyao that she didn’t notice the discomfort in her words this time. Noticing the Emperor’s slightly cold gaze, Su Wenyuan promptly shot a look at her. Unfortunately, Su Yuyi didn’t see him.
