Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

After the meal, Mu Yao greeted Xu Yuanming and Helian Juzheng, and then went to Helian Yun for a follow-up visit.

Because he was worried about Xu Qingcheng, Mu Yao was in a hurry to go back to "Quxi Garden", which made Helian Yun dissatisfied. He had to find something for him to do, wrote a list of dozens of pages of medicinal materials, asked him to buy them all, and told him not to go to that "Guicaotang". Thinking of Xiao Chi, the profiteer, he really wasted his good face!

After that, Mu Yao hardly left "Quxi Garden" during the entire day.

With his wife's company, Xu Qingcheng's mood gradually stabilized. The two played two games, and they seemed to be amazed by each other's superb chess skills, and they were fully focused.

Xu Qingcheng was shocked by Mu Yao's high attainments. Recalling the scene of her competition with Ye Qinghan at the Spring Banquet, she thought that she had shown mercy at that time and gave the prince some face.

"Yaoyao, why are you so cruel in killing?" Xu Qingcheng said with some jealousy.

Mu Yao was enjoying the game so much that she didn't notice Xu Qingcheng's thoughts. She said hastily, "Then hurry back and kill her!"

Xu Qingcheng's ears blushed. He didn't want to give in.

Playing chess is the best way to kill time. Until the 15th hour of the evening, Mu Yao had not yet come out of "Quxi Garden". Xie Ci finally couldn't wait any longer and went to find Master Li.

Li Changan understood and stepped into "Quxi Garden" to remind Mu Yao, thus stopping the game.

When Xu Qingcheng saw that his wife was about to leave him again, he suddenly felt depressed again.

Master Li patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Qingcheng, you can rest assured that I am here. You have been exhausted these days, so take a good rest."

He saw that Xu Qingcheng's eyes were dark blue, and it was obvious that she didn't get enough rest.

Xu Qingcheng is not only his son-in-law, but also his favorite student. Sometimes I think it's fate. If he was strong enough, Yaoyao wouldn't have so many marriages. He couldn't help but say earnestly: "Qingcheng, when you return to Dayun, don't delay your official career. Your father arranged you to the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of Personnel Zhu Huaijin and I and your father have been friends for many years. We have a deep friendship. You should cheer up and work hard!"

The Ministry of Personnel is the most important department among the six ministries. All official assessments and promotions need to go through this department. In Li Changan's view, this is quite pragmatic.

Yaoyao was staring at a wardrobe full of clothes. Xie Ci had bought her many colorful dresses and gowns over the past few days, as well as all kinds of head ornaments, rouge and powder. She didn't know which one to choose.

Seeing Mu Yao looking thoughtfully at the closet, Xu Qingcheng moved closer and picked up a crimson dress for him, which made Master Li's eyelids jump.

He looked at Mu Yao and saw that she took it without hesitation. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He couldn't help but go to the cupboard to take a few peeks, and took out a Changchun red and pink thin shawl for her to wear on the outside.

Mu Yao changed her clothes and stood in front of the large bronze mirror. She was very satisfied with the effect of her clothes. The crimson purple and Changchun red collided together, making her look both noble and light.

She chose a set of pearl headwear and put on the most popular tulle powder in Xianshui at the time, and instantly became incredibly beautiful.

Xu Qingcheng stared at Mu Yao nervously, his mind suddenly filled with random thoughts. Fear and anxiety surged into his heart like a tidal wave, and even breathing seemed like a luxury.

Li Changan stroked his beard with satisfaction. His daughter was so beautiful! Nothing could cover this bright pearl. He happily pulled Mu Yao into the palace for the banquet.

There were many more guards at the Beiming Palace today. Whether on the city walls or on the corridors, there were no longer only three or two palace servants like before, but a large number of imperial guards patrolling and guarding.

Murong Chen was wearing a royal robe today, which made Mu Yao's eyes light up. This was the first time she saw the emperor wearing a golden yellow robe since she came to Yunqi. In the past, when he met Emperor Qingyuan, he was mostly wearing a black or navy blue imperial robe.

Murong Chen's pair of handsome starry eyes opened wide, staring at Mu Yao with burning eyes. Whether he was greeting her politely or chatting with everyone, his eyes never left her.

It was difficult for Mu Yao to ignore his strong gaze, but she did not see any admiration in Murong Chen's eyes. Instead, she saw more curiosity, and even a hint of admiration, which surprised Mu Yao and made her confused for a moment.

Mu Yao noticed that the emperor seemed to have never stood up. She looked at Xie Ci curiously, hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed her question.

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious. The new emperor of Bei Ming was quite polite and presented Xu Yuanming and Li Taifu each with a "Hollowed Out Golden Gourd of Ten Thousand Generations" as a token of his appreciation.

The gourd symbolizes the longevity of descendants, and the continuous succession of generations. This implication is so pleasing that it is hard for them to refuse.

Murong Chen also gave Mu Yao a white jade necklace with carved flower and bird patterns. Inside the jade pendant was a kind of "amber powder" unique to the Beiming royal family, which had a strong effect of repelling insects and refreshing the brain. It could be removed and used as a sachet, and had a good defensive effect against some simple toxins.

Mu Yao was delighted by this belated "apology". She smelled the scent of "fog fairy grass" from the fragrance of "amber powder". This herb had long been extinct in her original world.

In their school's laboratory, three extinct samples are well preserved. Once when I was doing a medical experiment, I was lucky enough to smell that unforgettable aroma.

Mu Yao looked towards Murong Chen gratefully, but didn't expect to see him gently stroking her leg. She paused, looked away, and observed him out of the corner of her eye.

Murong Chen's left leg seemed to be in some pain. During the few moments that Mu Yao was observing him, he unconsciously stroked his calf twice. It was likely that there was something wrong with his left leg.

Before leaving the palace, Mu Yao privately asked Xie Ci and got his confirmation. After Murong Chen took the "Immortal Resurrection Grass", although he saved his life, he unexpectedly had a side effect. His left leg became increasingly weak, and now even standing up is extremely difficult.

These days, Xie Ci has been looking for the whereabouts of the miracle doctor "Jian Xin", but the old man has no fixed home and his whereabouts are elusive. It may be harder than climbing to the sky to find him in a short time.

However, Xie Ci reacted very quickly. He immediately asked Mu Yao how she knew about Murong Chen's leg disease.

After listening to her description, Xie Ci remembered that Mu Yao once mentioned that she had medical skills, which made him take this matter seriously again.

"Yaoyao, can you treat the emperor?" Xie Ci asked, hope in his eyes.

Murong Chen conferred the title of First-Rank Lady on Mu Yao and gave her a "talisman" with the intention of treating him. However, she could not cure all diseases, so she warned Xie Ci, "Ah Ci, don't have 100% hope. I have to see the illness of the Emperor Bei Ming before I can make a conclusion. Don't say anything in front of the Emperor."

Xie Ci hugged Mu Yao with relief and whispered "thank you" in her ear.

Murong Chen's health is extremely important to the Xie family. Xie Ci made many enemies in order to support him to become emperor. Now the court has just stabilized the situation and is pouring its efforts into cultivating new blood. Murong Chen has no offspring. Once he collapses, the Xie family will be in danger sooner or later. If one prospers, all prosper. If one suffers, all suffer. For the sake of the entire family, he must do everything in his power to prolong his life.

Xie Ci was extremely anxious. The illness of Emperor Bei Ming was like a thorn hanging in his heart. Now that he had hope, he immediately said hello to Li Taifu and others, and returned to the inner hall with Mu Yao.
