The Reason Why She Must Get Married (1)
Ye Mu nodded her head. She guided Zhao Mingyu inside and commanded the servants,
“All of you are dismissed.”
Zhao Mingyu, who stood behind her, witnessed this and realized, they should have only listened to the emperor’s orders and yet, they all retreated respectfully without arguing!
Right then, Zhao Mingyu started to have doubts about Ye Mu’s identity. How could a re favored adopted princess have this much power?
But when she saw Ye Mu’s small innocent face, her doubts dissipated. Perhaps, since very few mbers of the imperial family remained, the rules were made more lenient? Besides, they probably don’t have as many rules as the Zhao Country.
As everyone else left, Ye Mu escorted Zhao Mingyu into the Imperial Study Room.
On the way there, Zhao Mingyu looked at the heavy doorway in amazent. Although there weren’t that many people around, the palace alone was magnificent. The outer corridor had carvings and paintings all around, while the inside was just as beautiful.
Zhao Mingyu admired the intricate pearls that weaved into the dragon pillars in the corners. It made her think back to her Zhao Country, those large pearls would have been stolen by the consorts. Yet, in the Mo Country, the pearls embedded in the dragon columns were used to illuminate the night, making it possible to see.
While she followed alongside Ye Mu, she got lost in her own thoughts. Truthfully, before Mo Linyuan returned to the Mo Country, the country was withering under the influence of the aristocratic families and the Empress Dowager. But ever since Mo Linyuan slowly gained power, the Mo Country unexpectedly began to prosper!
Especially these past few years, after Mo Linyuan gained complete control of the imperial court, the Mo Country’s economy developed at a rapid rate! Rare goods that were unheard of before such as ceramic glaze, paper, etc beca hot commodities in other countries. Even if they didn’t have these products, Mo Linyuan still had the ability to annex other countries.
She was deep in thought when Ye Mu stopped in her steps and stated,
“He’s inside. I have already dismissed everyone. If you want to enter, you can go right ahead.”
Zhao Mingyu hesitated, “You are not coming with ?”
Ye Mu’s lips twitched, “I don’t feel like seeing him right now! You can rest assured, as long as you don’t anger him, he won’t do anything to you. Whatever, whether you enter or not is your choice!”
After saying this, Ye Mu turned and left.
At that mont, Ye Mu was testing her to see what she would do. If Zhao Mingyu had left with her, she felt Zhao Mingyu was only an average princess. However, if she dared to go inside, that would an she is not afraid to die… and soone who doesn’t fear death wasn’t soone that would easily fall in love at first sight.
Sure enough, Zhao Mingyu only hesitated for a second. Seeing how Ye Mu appeared to leave without a care in the world, she never expected this opportunity to co so easily and wanted to take advantage of it. Zhao Mingyu grinded her teeth as she stretched out her hand to enter. She thought that if she really does run into any danger, she would simply expose her identity. Currently, she is aware Mo Linyuan wanted to obtain the City Boundary Map. Therefore, he wouldn’t be able to harm her.
She pushed open the grand entrance and walked in. It was very quiet inside… Ye Mu stated that everyone had been dismissed, but did everyone truly leave? Is this a prank? Was the emperor not actually inside? Otherwise, how could these people dare to leave? Were they not afraid of being absent when the emperor tried to summon them?
Wrapped in confusion, she opened the last door and entered. Upon entering, her feet landed on a very thick, golden silk rug. This sensation made her reluctant to lift her feet. It reminded her of the wonderful sensation of walking on the soft dirts in a garden in her past.
“…Is that a minister from the Zhao Country?”
A voice resounded unexpectedly from deep within. Zhao Mingyu looked up intently and saw it was Mo Linyuan. He was standing in front of the imperial records and reading through so docunts.
