Chapter Seventy-Eight: Your Majesty, Your Emperor
In An Xiaomo's heart, the emperor has always been a white beard, absurd and obscene appearance, and when he knew that he really saw it, he knew that there was still such a good-looking emperor in the world.
He looks only in his thirties, his eyes are very sharp, and his whole temperament is full of majesty. However, when his eyes turned to Ming Jingyu, he was full of kindness. It seems that he should be a very wise monarch.
"Father, this is the person who designed the new paper, An Xiaomo."
Ming Jingyu rarely got serious and introduced An Xiaomo to the emperor.
"The people's daughter An Xiaomo, see the emperor."
An Xiaomo saluted the emperor according to the etiquette that Ming Jingyu had told her before, and An Fen stood behind her and followed her as she saluted.
"Get up, both."
"Your Majesty."
An Xiaomo got up, and An Fen stood up with her, without saying a word from beginning to end.
"This is Xiao Mo girl, I didn't expect to be so young, it's really the glory of my country."
The emperor is even easier to get along with than An Xiaomo imagined, he doesn't have too high a shelf when he speaks, and he doesn't hesitate to praise people.
"The emperor praised it falsely, the people are really frightened, the new paper is just an idea I put forward, as for the design, it was researched by me and a few seniors, and I just made suggestions on the side, the biggest contributor, but also the old-timers recommended to me by His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
From Ming Jingyu's mouth, An Xiaomo learned that he was the third prince.
She didn't dare to ask for credit and reward alone, first, she was afraid that the emperor would really think how powerful she was, and leave her in the palace and let her study things like an old pedant, and second, she was afraid that when this kind of news would spread, someone with bad intentions would take advantage of her, or put on her a charge of pride and complacency and monopolizing credit, so that she would be notorious.
"Miss Xiao Mo is really too modest, Yu'er also mentioned to me the people he introduced to you, a few of them, have been studying paper in the palace for so many years, and they haven't studied anything, but Miss Xiao Mo, you just asked them to go not long ago, and the new paper was studied, in the end, Miss Xiao Mo, you are too smart, you are really a role model for the younger generation."
The Emperor touched his beard, and his joy was palpable.
It was the first time since Yao'er disappeared that he was so happy.
This little girl is really incredible, at such a young age, she has such a big achievement, and her future is limitless.
"The emperor thinks too highly of me, and the people are afraid."
An Xiaomo hurriedly said.
Suddenly felt that a serious emperor also has the benefits of being serious, like this kind emperor, she is really a little overwhelmed, there is no way, she can't stand the praise of others.
"It's rare that you're so humble, it's rare."
The emperor obviously saw that An Xiaomo was really modest, so he didn't praise him anymore.
"By the way, the one behind you is ......"
It was the first time for the emperor to see someone who dared not show his true face in front of him, and he didn't feel angry, but felt that this person was really bold, it stands to reason that most of the ordinary people, seeing the emperor, were sincerely afraid, but this one was not moved at all, and his temperament has always been cold and indifferent, the more he looked, the more he felt, and ...... Yao'er thought very much.
Yao'er was also like this at the beginning, calm and calm, not chaotic, which made people feel very relieved.
Now, I don't know what happened to Yao'er.
An Xiaomo looked at the emperor's expression in a high position that was unpredictable, from the beginning of happiness, slowly changed, and finally turned into sadness. 、
I don't know what the reason is, she didn't dare to care, she obediently lowered her head, pretending to be obedient.
"Behind is my companion, Anfen, he has been wearing a mask, it is inconvenient to take it off, please forgive the emperor."
An Xiaomo patiently explained.
The emperor said, "Oh." So that's the case", didn't ask any more questions, just said.
"Looks like I've been through a lot."
Then he didn't ask about An Fen again, and pulled the topic back to An Xiaomo.
"I called you here today mainly to ask you one thing, you are so talented in papermaking, so, are you willing to work in the palace, I can provide you with a better environment for studying paper, and the monthly income will definitely not be lower than the money you earn in the paper shop every month."
An Xiaomo had already guessed that when he came to the palace, the emperor would say something, and he had already prepared his words.
Said calmly.
"Thank you for the emperor's appreciation, however, papermaking for me, is just a temporary interest, I really don't have the confidence to stick to it, not to mention, this time to make a new paper, it is just my temporary luck, just by chance, even I don't understand the truth, it is really difficult to bear the emperor's high hopes, and please forgive the emperor, please be smart."
This is true, she is really a momentary interest, if it weren't for her own novel, she wouldn't have the energy to do such a thing.
The emperor has some regrets, talents are needed by every emperor, not to mention that in this era when the aristocracy almost monopolizes the imperial court, talents are even more valuable.
However, since people are unwilling, he will not be strong, this is the demeanor that an emperor should have.
"Since you don't want to, I won't force you, but you have researched a new paper for the country, whether it is for the country or for the people of the entire continent, it is a very great achievement, and it should be rewarded, say, whatever reward you want to get, you can tell me."
The emperor was very generous
But An Xiaomo knows very well in his heart that it is a very difficult thing to reward this matter, you say don't, others say that you are too high, and even feel that you don't have you in your hands and regard you as an enemy, but if you want too much, you will be said to be insatiable, Yelang is arrogant, no matter what, this person is not easy to do.
An Xiaomo thought for a while, and finally said.
"I don't really have anything I want."
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was finished, the emperor's face was not very good.
"However, I always like some strange things, I don't know what I will do in the future, if the people do something strange later, please ask the emperor to remind the people at that time, but don't call the people into the palace at any time, the people are timid, the emperor's momentum is too strong, the people can't bear it."
said that it sounded so good, but in fact, after saying one sentence, I hoped that the emperor would be able to stop meddling in his affairs and not ask too much.
The emperor is also a person who has been immersed in the palace for decades, how can he be so simple that he can't hear her voice, said with a smile.
"As long as you don't do anything that hurts nature and harms the country, I will naturally not pursue it too much."
This An Xiaomo doesn't seem to be a foolish person who will do anything hurtful, so he is still relieved.
"This is natural."
She wasn't that interested in doing anything unreasonable.
"Isn't there anything else you want? I heard Yu'er say that you now run a paper shop and a medical center to manage, so I can reward you with 10,000 taels of gold, so that you can find a lot of people to help. ”
An Xiaomo really needs money, but ......
"No need, Your Majesty, the people are researching new paper, opening a paper shop, opening a medical hall, these are all to make money, if the emperor gives me the money directly, then I have no goal, I don't know what to do."
The emperor's money, she didn't dare to accept it.
"Haha, you're funny, it's hard to get money if someone else wants it, it's good for you, someone gives you money, you don't want it yet."
"The emperor has won the award, and the folk girl thinks that there are still many people's ideas that suit me."
An Xiaomo had three drops of cold sweat on his forehead.
This emperor's taste is really strange, to say that she is interesting, she is just timid.
"Well, if that's the case, that's fine."
The emperor's words meant a lot, and An Xiaomo didn't dare to answer them casually.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't have to let her take it, and it was estimated that she didn't dare to take it, so he changed the topic again.
"I see that you have a good relationship with Yu'er, how is it, do you plan to stay a few more days and play with Yu'er."
The emperor probably thought An Xiaomo was interesting, and asked An Xiaomo to stay, wanting to observe for a few more days.
How did he know, as soon as he spoke, An Xiaomo's heart began to feel uneasy.
Hurriedly said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a noble status, and the people don't dare to climb high, but the Three Princes are kind-hearted, and the people are stupid, so they help the people everywhere, and the people really don't dare to have a good relationship with the Three Princes. Besides, the palace is magnificent, and the women are used to living in their own houses, so if you live in this palace for a few days, I'm afraid your heart is not steady, so forget it. ”
Have a good relationship with Ming Jingyu? It's not that she doesn't dare, but she doesn't dare to put this kind of thing about a good relationship between the two on the surface, it's too terrifying, for Ming Jingyu, if her enemy finds out, then won't she become his weakness, and for her, she is also afraid that someone with a heart will hate her and secretly poison her.
This is not as simple as when the Salvation House was trying to thwart them.
"Haha, then you're a very timid person."
This is obviously a joke, but unexpectedly, An Xiaomo suddenly blushed.
"was discovered by the emperor, and the people were ashamed."
After speaking, he raised his hand to half-cover his face, as if he was really shy.
This made the emperor laugh even louder.
An Xiaomo, who was hiding behind his hand, was embarrassed.
Your Majesty, do you remember your majesty when I first came in? Where did the majesty go?
Even Ming Jingyu, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but half-cover his face with a fan and snickered. The eunuch who had been serving by the emperor's side was also laughing.
Only An Fen, whose face was covered by a mask, looked at them angrily.
What to laugh at, don't laugh at his daughter-in-law! The daughter-in-law is not a coward, the daughter-in-law is the bravest!
