Mu Yunyao replied, "Your Majesty, she hit me, but my aunt favored her and let her go without any punishment. I was unwilling in my heart, so I wanted to beat her back." Hearing this, Xu Li felt his legs go soft and he almost couldn't stand up. Did this little ancestor not think too highly of the emperor? Why did he dare to say anything? Moreover, who was that Miss Meng? [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

Is that someone you can call back?

If it was any other person, he would have already been unhappy in his heart. But Mu Yunyao's words just now were extremely interesting, and with the royal sister's godlike face, it made him more patient. "Do you know who she is?"

Mu Yunyao nodded. "I know. Before I came to the palace, First Aunt had already told me that the Meng Family's status was extraordinary, and that Miss Meng was someone I absolutely cannot offend."

"Since you know about this, why did you still dare to fight back?" "Dare!" Mu Yunyao nodded without hesitation. "No matter who she is, she'll be punished for wrongdoing. I once heard from the teacher in the book that if the Emperor did wrong, he'll have to hand down a decree for his crimes. Even if the officials did wrong, they'll have to get rid of Dai Hua Ling and ask for justice for their wrongdoings.

To be punished … If she intentionally framed and beat me up, I could call her back. This is the best way to deal with it. "

"Shouldn't the best course of action be for us to punish them?" Mu Yunyao shook her head. "Your majesty, your identity is precious, don't mention personally ordering a person to be punished, as long as you reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction towards a person, that person's entire life might be affected. Miss Meng is my aunt's niece. If she beats me, I'll call her back.

"Oh, that's right. I'm not so angry. If you had been the one to make the decision, Miss Meng would have been the one to ruin it. That's not what I intended to do."

The emperor's gaze slightly moved, a trace of unfathomable emotion could be seen within it. "Then if I agree to your words, do you dare to directly come and beat me up?"

"Why would I not dare? "With your permission, Your Majesty, I am only following the imperial edict to beat someone up. I am not afraid of anything." Mu Yunyao's gaze was clear and bright. Even though her face was injured, her smile was still extremely sweet, causing others to feel extremely comfortable when they looked at her.

The Emperor, however, didn't say anything. He only sized her up for a moment before saying, "I've heard that you're the best at brewing tea. It's rare for me to be in the mood today. Go brew one for a taste."

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Xu Li quickly ordered some servants to bring the tea set over.

Soon, an item was placed on the table.

Mu Yunyao was brought down to wash her hands and prepare to leave the emperor's line of sight. She couldn't help but sway a little as her back became wet and cold. It was unknown when she had been drenched in cold sweat and the wound on her waist was also faintly aching. She knew that today's events were exceptionally risky. The slightest carelessness would leave an impression on the emperor's mind that he was playing tricks on her. There were even a few times when she could feel the emperor's measuring and scrutinizing gaze. Fortunately, she had already thought of this earlier …

She had made preparations, repeatedly hinting at her complete trust and reverence towards the emperor, practicing her expression and eyes in the mirror over and over again, trying hard not to leave a single flaw. It was just that she couldn't tell whether the emperor was the emperor or not.

Mu Yunyao faced the basin as she slowly washed her hands. Her actions were especially serious, as if she wanted to wash away the distracting thoughts and fear in her heart. She wanted to calm down, and the closer she got to the end, the more she couldn't panic.

Only after a long while did she accept the handkerchief from the attendant at the side and gently wipe it clean. "Eunuch, I'm ready."

"Miss Mu, please."

The teapot was entirely made of alum red and covered with lotus patterns. Both sides of its abdomen were shining, while one painted lotus flowers in a lotus pond, while the other carried two lines of poetry: "From time to time, when turning over a blank bird, it shines with water and red lotus flowers."

There were very few patterns on the corresponding teacups. They only glanced at the edge of the cup and at the mouth of the cup. The white porcelain cup was as thin as a cicada's wing. Although Mu Yunyao's purpose of studying the tea ceremony wasn't pure, she really did like it. After settling down in the Tomb City for over a year, her initial interest towards the tea ceremony had already dissipated. In addition to studying a few books of tea scriptures, her skills in brewing tea were even better. At this moment, he didn't want to see the exquisite tea set …

He was extremely happy, and his expression and actions could not help but show some of it.

The emperor was originally deep in thought about today's matters in the imperial court when his eyes unconsciously drooped. He was attracted by Mu Yunyao's actions of brewing tea. He had long since heard Xu Li praise this woman's tea ceremony as extraordinary. He had originally thought that she was somewhat of an exaggeration, but upon seeing her for the first time, he realized that she was truly excellent.

The tension on her body had completely disappeared and was replaced by a natural and smooth elegance. His movements were neither slow nor slow. His movements were slow and relaxed. It was as if his every move was made by nature. Occasionally, there would be the sound of flowing water, light and pleasing to the ear. In the blink of an eye, it was filled with fragrance.

The impetuousness in the Emperor's heart gradually disappeared. There was a rare moment of peace in his mind, and he actually felt relieved.

The sound of a cup cushion and a teacup clinking together resounded in his ears. The Emperor looked over with rapt attention, and noticed that Mu Yunyao had already folded her hands in front of her stomach as she looked over with a clear gaze.

"Your majesty, the tea has been brewed."

By the side, Xu Li stepped forward and carefully took the cup of tea. He then placed it beside the imperial examination table, his movements smooth and steady.

The tea that was being brewed this time was the Lotus Time Fragrance that Mu Yunyao had brought over. Originally, the fragrance of this tea was exceptionally far, but now, with Mu Yunyao's help, it seemed to have risen even further.

The white porcelain tea cup was thin and one could faintly see the traces of the tea leaves in the cup from the outside. The leaves seemed to be shaking, causing the emperor to lift the lid to take a closer look. A cloud of white mist suddenly rose up. Within the mist, one could see a white crane flying past the teacup. The white crane nodded. The emperor didn't even have time to be surprised before the mist dissipated and the crane disappeared without a trace. Within the teacup, the tea leaves were swaying and standing straight like bamboo shoots that had just burst out of the ground.

Unexpectedly, the teacup shook, and the tea leaves in the cup suddenly fell like snow from the sky as they gathered at the bottom of the cup, forming the shape of a lotus that seemed like even a god.

After a long while, the lotus flower slowly dispersed, leaving only the fresh and distant fragrance of the tea.

The lotus flower dissipated and the temperature of the tea could be consumed as well. The Emperor took a sip and immediately felt as if the entire lotus flower was contained within his mouth as he slowly swallowed down a mouthful of fragrance. "Your skills in brewing tea are indeed extraordinary." Mu Yunyao revealed an expression of joy, and her eyes revealed a strong smile. She seemed to be extremely happy as she said, "Many thanks for Your Majesty's praise."
