313 What Does He Want??_1
After sizing up the fawning Six-Tailed Fox for a while, Jiang Beiran asked,””Are you full?”
“I’m full, I’m full. The amount Master gave me is really perfect. It’s not too much, not too little. It’s just right. Moreover, the taste…”
“It’s good that you’re full.” Nodding, Jiang Beiran turned around and left.
He heard the six-tailed fox say,”Take care, Master.”
Jiang Beiran could not help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Interesting. I wonder how long this little fox can last.’
He slowly returned to Jingxin Palace Hall. When the palace maid who was cleaning at the palace gate saw the Emperor, she was so frightened that she almost lost her grip on her broom. She hurriedly knelt down and saluted,”Your Majesty.””
It wasn’t that she was afraid of the emperor, but that the emperor had suddenly disappeared without a sound in recent days, making them feel very insecure.
As the saying went, the scariest thing was not the sight of spiders, but the sudden disappearance of spiders.
A leader who suddenly appeared behind you was far more terrifying than a leader who had been staring at you.
All the way to the royal study room, the eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they knelt down one after another. Fortunately, they did not slack off because the Emperor was not around.
“Welcome, Your Majesty ~”
Hearing Eunuch Wang’s voice, Muyao, who was reading in her study, was pleasantly surprised, but she quickly hid it.
“Hmph, you ran out of the palace without saying a word. You don’t look like an emperor.”
Kong Qianqian, who was beside him, asked curiously,””Didn’t the emperor secretly bring us out before? Why didn’t you say this back then?”
Muyao couldn’t help but glare at Kong Qianqian, then suddenly smiled. She pulled out a piece of pine nuts and lily pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Just as Kong Qianqian instinctively took a bite, she saw the door of the royal study being pushed open.
“Wuwuwu… Wuuu…”
Looking at the Emperor’s sweeping gaze, Kong Qianqian first pointed at the pine nuts and lily crispy cake in her mouth, then waved her hand, as if she wanted to explain something, but she couldn’t bear to spit out the delicacy in her mouth. That would be too wasteful.
Jiang Beiran didn’t say anything. He just used his eyes to signal outside.
Looking at her senior sister resentfully, Kong Qianqian went to receive her punishment.
“Greetings, Emperor.” Muyao bowed to Jiang Beiran after Kong Qianqian left.
Glancing at the Water-Flooding Sutra in Muyao’s hand, Jiang Beiran said,””Reading this book again?”
Muyao looked at Jiang Beiran in surprise, thinking to herself,’So he’s been keeping an eye on what books I read.’
Sitting in front of the dragon table, Jiang Beiran took out a thin booklet from his Cosmos Ring and said,””You have performed well during this period of time. This is what zhen promised you. Take it.”
Muyao threw away all her pride and ran to the table.
“Is it the biography of that Shangguan Wan ‘er?”Muyao asked happily.
“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Muyao bowed to Jiang Beiran and picked up the thin booklet.””Your Majesty, why…So little?”
“This is the first volume. The rest will depend on your performance in the future.”
“Yes… Thank you, Your Majesty. I’ll go take a look first.”Muyao retreated to her seat.
Jiang Beiran was actually bluffing her about the first volume. He had only learned this little about Shangguan Wan ‘er because he had accidentally seen it when he was searching for the method to fly on Baidu. He had discovered that the Tang Dynasty did not only have Empress Wu Zetian, but also the female Prime Minister Shangguan Wan’ er.
However, his curiosity did not last long. After taking a quick look at Shangguan Wan ‘er’s life story, Jiang Beiran continued to investigate how Shangguan Wan’ er was able to fly.
Therefore, this book was thin and full of content from his memories, plus some of his own opinions.
As for the promise…
‘Isn’t it normal for a biography to not be downloaded?’
As Muyao was reading Shangguan Wan ‘er’s biography, someone knocked on the door of the royal study.
“Enter.”
With a creak, the wooden door opened. Wang Shougui walked in with his head lowered and knelt on the ground.”I didn’t know that the emperor had returned, so this servant came late to welcome him.”
“It’s fine. Why are you looking for me?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the scholars and craftsmen you have named have been invited to the posthouse in Ningdu.”
“Got it. You may leave.”
“Yes.” Wang Shougui said as he slowly left the royal study.
The group of scholars and craftsmen that Jiang Beiran had invited this time were recommended by him when he had replaced them with a new group of loyal officials and good ministers. Many of these officials were once officials of their own regions, so they knew all the capable people in their own jurisdiction like the back of their hands.
No matter which era it was, talent was always the most important. Before the promotion channels were perfected, these talents were very precious.
Jiang Beiran’s plan was to enlist all of them into the palace first, observe them for a period of time, and then release them after they had seen and verified them.
He had spent the entire afternoon reviewing the memorials. Because he had already gone through a huge wave, it had become much more difficult to easily obtain attribute points by reviewing the memorials.
This was also the reason why Jiang Beiran no longer just stayed in the palace, but went out for a walk.
Throwing the unoriginal memorial aside, Jiang Beiran glanced at Muyao, who was shaking her head.
