The Little Lucky Girl.

Chapter 209 Cooperation with the Emperor

Su Qing walked briskly, carrying each of the meticulously prepared dishes to the dining room. The aroma of the food filled the air, each dish a work of art. Fresh green vegetables, still drenched in morning dew, shimmered enticingly on the exquisite porcelain plates. The bright red roasted pork exuded a rich, rich aroma, its texture delicate, its fat and lean flesh interwoven, seemingly melting in the mouth with a single bite. Steamed fresh fish lay on a white jade plate, its skin dotted with shredded scallions and ginger like emerald and gold. Its clear eyes and silvery body betrayed its unparalleled freshness.

After Su Qing had everything settled, she walked gracefully towards Eunuch Li's residence. Sunlight dappled the bluestone paths in the courtyard, and the flowers on either side were gorgeous. She arrived in front of Eunuch Li's room and said respectfully, "Grandpa Li, dinner is ready!" Her voice was clear and melodious, yet held just the right amount of respect.

"Okay, okay!" Eunuch Li's slightly aged but still full-bodied voice rang out from inside the house. A moment later, the door opened, revealing Eunuch Li, dressed in simple yet dignified attire. Despite his advanced age, he stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing the depth of a man who had experienced the world. Upon seeing Su Qing, he smiled a kind smile, like the warm sunshine on a winter's day.

"Qingbao, you are always so considerate." Eunuch Li said as he walked with Su Qing to the dining hall. Su Qing bowed slightly and replied with a smile: "Grandpa Li, you have come all the way to my house, I must make sure you eat and live comfortably." The two walked and talked. When they passed by the garden, the breeze blew, and the flowers swayed gently, sending bursts of fragrance. Eunuch Li took a deep breath and said with emotion: "It is really comfortable to come to Sujia Village." Su Qing responded with a smile: "Grandpa Li, it is comfortable to live in Sujia Village. When I leave the palace, I will come here to retire. I will take care of you!"

Eunuch Li was very touched! "Okay, okay!"

Soon, they arrived at the dining hall. Eunuch Li looked at the table full of food with satisfaction in his eyes. This heartwarming scene was like a warm painting!

Su Qing stretched out a hand towards Eunuch Li, as if guiding him, her voice full of concern: "Grandpa Li, please sit down and try today's food. Is it to your liking?" Her tone was gentle and melodious, like the chirping of a nightingale, and every word was filled with her deep respect and love for Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li, supported by Su Qing, slowly walked towards the carved sandalwood chair prepared specifically for him. His gaze swept over Su Qing's face, filled with doting for the child. Time had carved deep marks on his face, but his eyes remained gentle and kind, as if they could embrace everything in the world. He patted the back of Su Qing's hand, the warmth of his rough palm warming Su Qing's heart.

"Haha, Qingbao, thank you for your hard work," Eunuch Li said with a smile, his voice echoing through the dining room with a reassuring power. He slowly sat down, his eyes gazing at the table overflowing with food, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. The dining room was warm and elegant, with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and several pots of blooming orchids in the corners. The delicate fragrance of the flowers intertwined with the aroma of the food, creating a uniquely comfortable atmosphere.

Su Qing, also seated nearby, watched Eunuch Li pick up his chopsticks. She knew Eunuch Li had experienced many hardships throughout his life, possessing a unique perspective on the quality of life. While the meal wasn't lavish, each dish was meticulously prepared by her, embodying her gratitude to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li picked up a piece of enticing braised pork, glistening under the light, and gently chewed it. Su Qing watched Eunuch Li's expression intently, only to see his eyes narrow slightly as a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Mm, it's delicious, Qingbao, your cooking skills are really getting better and better." Eunuch Li praised it endlessly. Su Qing's smile blossomed from the bottom of her heart, like a spring flower blooming in the warm sun. At this moment, the dining room was filled with a deep warmth, a kind of family love that transcended age!

After Su Qing finished her meal with Eunuch Li, she sent him back to rest!

Su Qing, filled with enthusiasm, hurried to find Murong Ye. Her eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation, as if hiding countless glittering stars. Her graceful figure darted through the corridors, her clothes fluttering in the wind, stirring up a faint breeze.

Seeing Murong Ye, Su Qing couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Ye, I'm planning to open a movable type printing plant and a paper mill. My third brother is currently building the movable type printing plant!" Her voice was clear and melodious, like a stream flowing happily through the mountains, and every word was full of vitality. She stepped forward, took Murong Ye's sleeve, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and continued: "The emperor will also have a share of this. I plan to give him 30%!"

Su Qing tilted her head slightly, a confident smile on her face, as charming and beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. As if envisioning a bright future, the light in her eyes grew even brighter. "Look, once movable type printing and papermaking develop, they will surely bring in enormous profits. I want to contribute to the Emperor's treasury so that the court can better serve the people."

As she spoke, she carefully pulled a sheaf of papers from her bosom. The papers trembled slightly in her hands, a testament to how much she cherished this plan. "Brother Ye, why don't you take this plan and the papers I created back to the capital to show the Emperor! Express my thoughts. I believe the Emperor will see its value." She handed the plan to Murong Ye, her eyes filled with trust and expectation, hoping that Murong Ye would understand her intentions and that this plan would gain the Emperor's approval, launching her dream career and bringing new prosperity to the country.

"Okay, thank you, Qing'er! I'll return to Beijing immediately!" Murong Ye said with a firm gaze. His voice was steady and powerful, like the beating of a war drum, and every word was filled with the importance of his mission. His deep eyes reflected Su Qing's delicate face, full of gratitude and trust.

"Okay, Brother Ye, wait a moment! I'll go prepare some things!" Su Qing turned around and ran towards her room like a smart little deer. Her steps were quick and light, and her skirt fluttered, as if carrying a gust of wind.

Su Qing rushed into the room, quickly glanced around, and began to bustle. She picked up a cloth bag and quickly filled it with various items. First, she put in the food, carefully prepared dry food. There were sweet and delicious cakes, the frosting on the cakes shimmering in the sunlight, like sweet crystals; there was also pickled dried meat, with clear texture and fragrant aroma. This food can be stored for a long time and provides sufficient energy.

Then, she picked up the water bag filled with spiritual spring water. The water was crystal clear, and the bottom was visible. It swayed slightly in the water bag, emitting a faint halo, as if it contained a mysterious power. This spiritual spring water had the wonderful effect of nourishing the body and restoring energy.

Then came the various life-saving pills and external-use medications. The pills were a dazzling array of colors, each meticulously sealed with wax by Su Qing. Some of them could detoxify, effectively neutralizing a wide range of poisons at a crucial moment; others could heal wounds, effectively stabilizing even the most severely injured. External-use medications were neatly packed into small porcelain bottles, each labeled with Su Qing's own handwriting. There were healers to stop bleeding and dissolve stasis, and pain-relieving ointments to soothe pain. Su Qing stuffed the bag to the brim, each item carrying her deepest concern and care for Murong Ye.

Su Qing held a cloth bag full of items in her hands and trotted to Murong Ye. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off. The only thing in her eyes was Murong Ye's figure.

"Brother Ye, take these with you." Su Qing panted slightly and handed the bag to Murong Ye. Her eyes were gentle and nostalgic, as if she wanted to pass all her cares on to him through the bag.

Murong Ye looked at Su Qing, then at the heavy cloth bag, his heart filled with emotion. He reached out to take it, feeling the weight of the bag, which contained not only items, but also Su Qing's deep affection.

Tears flashed in Su Qing's eyes, but she forced a smile: "There are food in here, you can eat when you are hungry. There is also a water bag filled with spiritual spring water, this spring water is good for your body, you must remember to drink it. Brother Ye, you must keep those pills and external use medicines, they can save your life in case you get injured." As she spoke, she carefully adjusted the straps of the cloth bag for Murong Ye, and her gentle movements seemed as if she was treating the most precious treasure in the world.

Murong Ye gently held Su Qing's hand, his voice choked: "Qing'er, you've taken a lot of trouble!" At this time, a breeze blew by, blowing up the hair of both of them, as if adding a touch of melancholy to their reluctant and tender farewell.
