~ MISS MU, A LITTLE MONEY FAN ~

More than a month has passed unconsciously, and the matter of spreading the art of embroidery needle technique was drawing to a close. The commoners of the Capital were beginning to get busy for the new year.

Mu Yunyao accepted the last stitch of the embroidery and lightly rubbed her sore wrist as she sized up the embroidery before her with satisfaction.

Footsteps sounded from the door. Mu Yunyao turned her head and saw Su Qing supporting Grand Princess Yi De as they walked in. “Greetings, Grandmother.”

“I heard from your mother that you, little girl, have locked yourself in your room for many days now. Making embroidery is most harmful to your eyes. You are young now, but you will understand the suffering when you get older.” Grand Princess Yi De walked around the bead curtain. When she saw the embroidery laid beside Mu Yunyao, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes were filled with amazement. “This....”

The embroidery item in front of her was not large, but it was exceptionally breathtaking. The precious and solemn Guanyin statue is embroidered on the white embroidered fabric. She was dressed in white, her face was kind, with a holy and gentle breath. She sits on a lotus platform with willow branches in hand, making people feel calm and peaceful at a glance.

What made Grand Princess Yi De most pleasantly surprised was that the Guanyin statue seemed to have a hint of her shadow. The two children sitting quietly beside the Guanyin Lotus Pagoda looked very much like Su Qing and Mu Yunyao.

With just a glance, she already felt that she couldn’t put it down. When Mu Yunyao turned the embroidery over, there was actually a scripture behind it. It was the Kitigarbha Sutra that Mu Yunyao had helped Grand Princess Yi De copy before.

“Yao’er, you are really considerate. I really like this piece of embroidery very much. In a while, I will asked someone to made into a screen and set it up in my room later.”

Mu Yunyao blinked slightly. “But Grandmother, I want to give this embroidery to the Emperor.” She said she would send more gifts to the Emperor for the New Year, so she prepared several items.

“The Emperor receives an uncountable number of gifts every year. Especially in the past two years, your embroidery products have been exceptional. This year, a lot of people will definitely be giving out embroidery gifts. Thus, just give me this one.” Grand Princess Yi De looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed the case. What kind of good things the Emperor has never seen before, so he definitely didn’t lack these two pieces of embroidery. “Fine. I’ll get someone to bring them to you when Grandmother leaves later.”

“Alright. A few days ago, I had someone clean up the warehouse and found a lot of good stuff. There are a lot of jewelry for girls of your age. They’re already put in the front hall. You can go take a look later to see if there’s anything you like.”

“Grandmother has already given me a lot of accessories during this period of time. I can wear them in rotation for a whole year at a time. Perhaps, after a while, I will have emptied Grandmother’s warehouse.”

Grand Princess Yi De held Mu Yunyao’s hand, a smile on her face. “Grandmother’s things are yours. If you want to go to the storehouse at any time, I’ve collected quite a few good things over the years. It’s enough for you to move them for a few years.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was brilliant as she leaned on Grand Princess Yi De. Her tone was full of joy, “Mother, listen, this was something Grandmother promised me. I’ll have Qu Mama bring me to the warehouse later to pick out those that looked incomparably precious.”

Grand Princess Yi De was amused by her. She stretched out her hand to embrace Mu Yunyao in her arms and lovingly stroked her hair. “I really didn’t expect that our Yao’er was actually also a little money fan. Alright, let’s Qu Mama take you to choose later.”

After chatting and joking with Grand Princess Yi De for quite a while, she couldn’t help but mention the matter of going to Baohua Temple.

“Yao’er, the Laba Porridge Festival just happened the same time with the day you teach the embroidery needle technique, so you weren’t able to make porridge on that day. I heard that you were having someone prepare it for you, saying that you wanted to set up a porridge tradition before the new year?”

“Yes, it is indeed so. By doing something to give back to the people, I can feel a bit more at ease.”

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Grandmther, you don’t need to worry. We’ve already arranged everything well, and it has been almost done. I had some experience with many things last year in Jingling City, but this time it isn’t on a much larger scale than before. After all, I’ve been short on silver recently.” The silver earned from the salt merchant can be used secretly, but she can’t be put on the surface, so the scale of this porridge will not be much large than before.

“I made a wish in the Baohua Temple before and said that if I can find my daughter again, I will do many good deeds for the people of the world. Now that you could count giving porridge as my share. I’ll donate 200,000 tael of silver as as a temporary commitment to the original promise and slowly return the favor in the future.”

“Grandmother, two hundred thousand taels of silver is too much. Moreover, if you were to donate that tael of silver, the families of the other officials would definitely follow the wind, so how can they leave some space for them.”

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to stop her. But when she heard the words’ return the favor, she nodded in agreement. Perhaps there really is retribution in this world. Otherwise, how cold the heavens allow her to reincarnate? Thus, she might as well do more good deeds. She was going through a lot of things. Many of her ideas are slowly changing, and the hostility in her heart has been sapped quite a bit.”

“Alright, how much silver do you need? You can discuss directly with Qu Mama when the time comes. All the things in gGrandmother’s hand will be left to you in the future, so you can use them however you want.” After finding Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, she wished that she could hold them in her palm. But after careful consideration, she still didn’t rashly interfere in Mu Yunyao’s matter.

First of all, Yunyao’s personality was very independent, had her own rules for speaking and doing things. If she interfered rashly, she would only interrupt her plans. Secondly, as she gets older, there will always be a day when she can not protect them. Rather than coddled their mother and daughter in the golden silk cage, it would be better to let them recklessly charge through. After all, she is still there now. Even if something happens, she could ensure that they would be safe and carefree.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before smiling at Grand Princess Yi De. “Grandmother, if you’re going to participate, then this matter can’t be handled by Ni Yun Fang. Why don’t you invite His Ryoal Highness Yue Wang over to the Imperial Palace?”

After some thought, Grand Princess Yi De understood the meaning of her words. “You want to hand this matter over to Yue Wang and then attribute the credit on the Emperor?”

“What does Grandmother think?”

“Well, that’s good. You are so thoughtful and considerate. You are much better than your Grandmother did when she was young.” Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao with a gratified gaze. “For so many years, the Emperor and I have helped and supported each other. There are inevitably suspicions and concessions involved. But in the end, our affection has taken up a large part. Everyone said that Imperial Family was heartless, but people had feelings, and the Imperial Family was no exception. The Emperor’s personality is somewhat similar to Yue Wang’s. If you treat him well, he won’t turn a blind eye. The Emperor has also grown older. These past few years, his personality has become softer and gentler, and he’s also willing to come into contact with some juniors. When Yao’er has nothing better to do, you often go to the Imperial Palace to take a look. It’s hard for him to live in high places, and it’s not easy for the Emperor these past few years.”

“Yes, Yunyao understands.”
