When Yu Qinghong saw Prince Yong looking at him, he realized that he might have been exposed, so he pulled up his sleeves, covered his face, and hurried away.

Tang Yiran naturally noticed something and gave Prince Yong a guilt-ridden smile.

Prince Yong approached her, covered his face with a fan, and whispered mysteriously, "Don't worry! I won't tell anyone your secret!"

"What secret?"

"Your sweetheart!" Prince Yong said with a smile as he looked at Yu Qinghong who was walking away.

Tang Yiran replied politely, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Give me some more ice cream!" King Yong made an even more demanding request.

Tang Yiran suddenly thought, why not open a branch in Kyoto?

"Your Majesty, how about I borrow your land to open an ice cream workshop here? That way, we don't have to transport it all the way from Nanshan County. What do you think?"

King Yong slapped his thigh and said, "Deal! Tell me what you need and I promise to satisfy you!"

"I need ice! Lots of ice!"

"No problem! With the palace behind us, isn't it possible to get some ice?"

Prince Yong closed his fan, looking calm and relaxed.

"Why don't we discuss this tonight? How about you and Qinghong come to my house?"

"Tonight... the Queen Mother needs treatment." Tang Yiran said with some embarrassment.

"Then I'll go to Yongshou Palace, that's it!"

Prince Yong returned to his seat without waiting for Tang Yiran to react.

Only Tang Yiran was left standing there in a daze.

"Yilan? It's Yilan, right?"

A voice sounded beside Tang Yiran's ears. Tang Yiran turned around and saw that the person was the one who spoke for him. So Tang Yiran bowed and said, "That's right! Thank you for speaking up for me. Yilan is honored."

Liu Qingyang hurriedly helped Tang Yiran up, looking at Tang Yiran's face with red eyes. This face was familiar and unfamiliar, but it brought back endless memories for him.

Tang Yiran felt a little frightened by being stared at. She didn't know why the middle-aged man in front of her was looking at her so excitedly.

Liu Qingyang's lips trembled for a long time before he asked, "Yilan, is your mother Liu Qingning?"

Tang Yiran was a little surprised, "That's right, but how do you know my mother's name?"

Liu Qingyang became even more excited after hearing this. He couldn't control his tears and his voice was choked with sobs. "I... my name is Liu Qingyang, and I'm your uncle!"

"uncle?"

"Yes! I am your uncle. You and your mother look so alike!"

Liu Qingyang couldn't help but touch Tang Yiran's face. Tang Yiran didn't object to this and was even infected by Liu Qingyang's emotions.

"Could it be? This is the power of blood?" Tang Yiran sighed in his heart.

Tang Yiran cried out emotionally, "Uncle!"

"Oh!" Liu Qingyang was so excited that his hands couldn't stop shaking.

"Seeing you now is like seeing your mother. How is your mother?"

"My mother...she passed away when I was still young and young." Tang Yiran replied blankly.

"Why? Uncle doesn't know?"

"Impossible! Impossible! I just did divination, and the result told me that your mother is still in this world!" Liu Qingyang looked incredulous.

"My divination results will never be wrong! Never!"

Tang Yiran was extremely shocked when he heard this, "Liu Qingning is still in this world!"

"Yilan! Come here with the phonograph!"

Hearing the emperor's voice, Tang Yiran was forcibly pulled out of her shock. She said to Liu Qingyang, "Uncle, the emperor called me, I have to go there quickly. Where is your address? I will come to find you later when I have time!"

"No. 128, Min'an Lane, Fuyuan Road, remember it!"

"remember!"

After Tang Yiran finished speaking, he took the phonograph to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you want to experience this phonograph?"

Tang Yiran asked, bowing.

"Yeah. Is that okay?"

"Yes! But this machine has to speak loudly, if Your Majesty doesn't feel embarrassed..."

The emperor waved his hands: "Not embarrassing! Not embarrassing!"

Tang Yiran stepped forward to adjust the phonograph for the emperor and explained the key points of the movements, which made the emperor so anxious that he rubbed his hands.

"Your Majesty, please try!"

When the emperor heard that it was okay, he immediately said loudly into the loudspeaker: "I wish my Shenyu country good weather and prosperity!"

"Okay, then what?"

The emperor asked curiously.

Tang Yiran stepped forward to remove the counterweight, adjusted the machine and began to shake the joystick. He heard the emperor's voice coming from the phonograph: "I wish my Shenyu country good weather and prosperity!"

"Good stuff! What a good stuff!" the emperor said excitedly as he listened to his own voice.

"Emperor Bimu, why don't you try it too? It's quite interesting!" The emperor pointed at the phonograph and said to Miao Nanfeng.

Miao Nanfeng had been interested in this thing for a long time. If she had to chase Li Linchuan in front of a group of people, she could risk her reputation. But if she had to shout at a machine in front of so many people, she couldn't do it.

"No! No! Go ahead and have fun!"

Miao Nanfeng suppressed her inner desire and waved her hand to refuse.

"but……"

Miao Nanfeng changed the subject.

"Can you help me make a phonograph like this so that I can take it back to Bimu Country and let Bimu Country also see the new things of Shenyu Country? The Emperor of Shenyu will not even satisfy this small request, right?"

The emperor smiled awkwardly upon hearing this: "How can that be possible? But...it depends on what Lord Tang wants. I can't force him to do anything."

The emperor winked at Tang Yiran and said, "My dear Tang, what do you think?"

Tang Yiran bowed to the emperor and said, "It's not impossible. My Shenyu Country is powerful, and all the other countries have witnessed it. Now, it's not impossible to give some small items to other countries, but... the labor fee..."

The emperor looked at Miao Nanfeng without saying a word.

Miao Nanfeng understood that this was a conspiracy between the emperor and his ministers to take money out of her pocket.

"How much silver?"

Tang Yiran held up two fingers.

"Two thousand taels? No big deal! Give it to me right now!"

Miao Nanfeng waved to the attendants behind him.

Tang Yiran shook his head.

"Twenty thousand taels? Twenty thousand taels of silver for something like this?"

Miao Nanfeng felt like she was sitting on pins and needles and could no longer hold back.

"Your Majesty, the added value of this phonograph cannot be measured by money. It represents the power of science and technology. If it is calculated only based on the materials, it is naturally not worth the price, but you want more than just this part, don't you think?" Tang Yiran argued with reason.

Miao Nanfeng saw that she was already in trouble, so she had to ask her servant to give Tang Yiran 20,000 taels of silver. Tang Yiran took the silver and put it in his pocket naturally, without any embarrassment at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Yiran was overjoyed and thanked her quickly. "I will deliver it in two days. I hope Your Majesty will wait patiently!"

Tang Yiran calculated the time and it was getting late. She still needed to do kidney dialysis for the empress dowager and there was no time to waste. So she said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager needs me to go over and treat her. Can you help me?"

"Oh? The Empress Dowager's illness cannot be delayed, go quickly!" The emperor was extremely anxious and waved his hand to let Tang Yiran leave.

"I'll take my leave!" Tang Yiran walked out of Tingyu Pavilion as if he had been pardoned. Seeing this, Yu Qinghong also found an opportunity to slip out of Tingyu Pavilion.

"Brother Qinghong, you know what, you look really good in this women's clothing!" Tang Yiran joked.

"Stop talking. If I wasn't afraid that something might happen to you, I wouldn't wear this woman's clothing. Don't be so embarrassed!"

Yu Qinghong couldn't wait any longer. Wearing this women's clothing, he felt that he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he quickly found a place to change his clothes before coming out.

"Brother Qinghong, I met my uncle today."

"Your uncle? You actually have an uncle?"

Yu Qinghong was quite surprised. He had no impression of Tang Yiran's mother since he was a child. As for Tang Yiran's uncle, he naturally had never heard of him. This uncle suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"It's time to investigate it carefully." Yu Qinghong sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, there were some sounds coming from the sky.

"Master! The Queen Mother is looking for you! The Queen Mother is looking for you!"

"?!" The two looked at each other and hurried towards Yongshou Palace.
