The bowl was large, the broth clear and bright, and each strand of the white face was like snow. The fragrance was light and elegant, with a scalding emerald green vegetable leaf in the center. It was simple and simple, but the fragrance was strong.
Yue Huang took a sip, his eyes lighting up a little as he quickly finished the bowl of noodles in silence. There was not even any leftover broth left. Even when he ate the most ordinary noodles, his every move carried an elegant noble aura, as if he was holding a delicacy in his hand. His eyes, however, were particularly pleasant to look at, and under the candlelight, it was as if there were millions of stars hidden in the night sky, causing one to be unable to stop themselves from sinking ...
Dread, research.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a few birds chirping from outside the window. It was Yu Heng who had sent him a message, confirming that Cao Yunsheng, Eunuch Li and the rest had left.
Mu Yunyao smiled."This bird cry is actually particularly lifelike. It's just that it's impossible for birds to chirp at this time of the year."
"It's Yu Heng."
"Then I won't stay for long with Fourth Master." Mu Yunyao stood up to pay her respects, the intent to send him off was especially obvious.
Yue Yang then stood up, looked at the empty bowl, and said: "Thank you."
"Fourth master is too courteous, it's only a bowl of noodles, you don't have to take it as much."
Yue Yang then shook his head, and without saying a word, he opened the door and left. At the side door, Steward Qin was waiting with a lantern in his hand. Now that the garden was closed, the previously lively crowd had left. The garden was now full of lanterns.
"I didn't expect so many people to be so busy that they forgot to send food to the prince. You must be hungry now, since you've already prepared food, the prince can go back and eat it."
"No need, I've already eaten."
Steward Qin suddenly understood: "Lady Mu is still the most considerate one, but it's fine if Prince doesn't eat anything else. Only this old servant has personally made a bowl of longevity noodles. You should try it, since today is your birthday after all."
The edge of King Yue's lips lifted slightly. His smile carried an indescribable coldness."I'm afraid that only you and Uncle Cheng are still worried about my birthdate." His royal father had long forgotten about him, let alone his birthdate.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have already collapsed and collapsed by now. It was unknown when Miss Mu would be able to connect her heart with his own so that she could share some of the pain and suffering on his body.
"Your highness, you should go back. If your face is cold, it won't taste good anymore."
When he returned to his room, Steward Qin hurriedly served the noodles. Wang Yue took a bite and raised his head to say: "I just ate a bowl of noodles too, so it's better than Uncle Qin's cooking skills."
Steward Qin was stunned for a moment before a smile spread across his face: "My cooking skills are quite rough, so of course I can't compare with Lady Mu."
Yue Yang pursed his lips again, his smile much warmer than before. Previously when he expressed his thanks, Mu Yunyao had only said that it was only a bowl of noodles. She didn't think much of it, but she didn't know that this bowl of noodles held much meaning to her today.
Mu Yunyao rested for the night. When she woke up the next day, she was completely unwell. In the early morning, she had been busy letting Su Qing order dishes so that she could have someone prepare them. Su Qing busied herself with counting the things bestowed by the Emperor. She couldn't do anything about it, so she could only casually say a few things. When it was noon, she discovered that the table was filled to the brim with food. Jin Lan, Jin Qiong, and the others were all smiles.
People do it for you.
Mu Yunyao brought the last dish."Mother, I'm in a good mood today, so I've decided to give Jinlan and the rest another month's worth of money. What do you say?"
Su Qing understood that she wanted to use this method to accumulate her fortune. Naturally, she would not reject."Alright, whatever you say."
Mu Yunyao turned to the direction of Jin Lan and the others."You've received your monthly fees, so you'll have to put in a lot of hard work in the coming days. Nebula Workshop has rested for a long time, so it's about time to reopen.
"Yes, please rest assured Miss."
After a lively meal, Mu Yunyao began to embroider a new beauty book.
A few days later, news came from the Moon Pavilion. Tan Lin had already started teaching embroidery techniques in various places. When the news spread out, the Moon Pavilion immediately became famous.
On this day, Mu Yunyao was chatting with Ding Yue Lan, thinking about what kind of clothes to wear in the future, when she saw Jin Qiuzhu hastily running over, "Miss, Madam Ding, the previously sealed Rainbow Moon Pavilion has reopened, and many people have been invited to come over to support you."
Mu Yunyao and Ding Yinglan looked at each other and laughed without a care, "If you're willing to open it, then let him open it, and it won't affect us."
"Miss, many people now say that the achievements of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion are greater than those of the Nebula Pavilion. They also say that before long, the Emperor will also write down a golden signboard to reward the Rainbow Moon Pavilion."
"It's also their good fortune that the Emperor bestowed them with this reward. We can't do anything about it, so we'll just wait and see." Mu Yunyao's mood still didn't fluctuate at all.
"Miss, how can you not be anxious? We have an old grudge with the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, if they rise to prominence, wouldn't that Tan Eighang come back to cause trouble for us? Qing Shan, Nan'er and the rest will definitely find an excuse to punish them."
Mu Yunyao smiled and said, "Then pay close attention to the news from the Rainbow Moon Pavilion these few days. If there really is anything, we can prepare ourselves in advance."
Jinqiao nodded with a heavy heart, "Ok, if there's anything, I'll report it to Miss immediately."
After the new year, the citizens that had been relaxed for a few days all threw themselves into the business. The reputation of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion's embroidery workshop spread like wildfire, and everyone learned about it within a few days.
Jin Lan walked in."Miss, Manager Qin came over just now to ask for an audience. He said that he wanted to invite you to visit the newly bought tea set."
Mu Yunyao put down the embroidery needle in her hand and slightly nodded."I understand. I'll go after I change my clothes." Presumably, Yue Yang had also received the news, and wanted to ask her about this.
"Yes."
After changing her clothes and coming to the No Envy Pavilion, Steward Qin immediately led her to King Yue's study.
Mu Yunyao had a gentle smile on her face as she respectfully bowed."Greetings, Fourth Master."
"No need to be so polite, please take a seat."
"Is Fourth Master going to ask me about the matter with the Rainbow Moon Pavilion?" Having settled all the matters behind her, Mu Yunyao went straight to the point.
"Rainbow Moon Pavilion? It can't be that you've already started to deal with it, and you don't need my help, right? " King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes warm.
Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised."I thought that Fourth Master wanted to ask about the matter of the Caiyue Pavilion by hastily calling me over. It seems that I've misunderstood!" King Yue was silent for a moment before he slowly said: "Tomorrow, I will be leaving. I wanted to go to the Su residence to say my goodbyes, but felt that it was too sudden. Therefore, I asked Steward Qin to invite you here because I wanted to bid you farewell."
