Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 200: Captivating
Just then, Eunuch Peng hurried over and informed him about the charity event organized by Shen Muxue.
Upon hearing this, the emperor's thoughts immediately shifted from those annoying numbers to the news, and his previous annoyance seemed to disappear in an instant.
After a while, Shen Muxue came before the emperor. After bowing respectfully, she began to report on the auction.
"I understand that Your Majesty is troubled day and night by the suffering of the people. I, under the guidance of the Queen Mother, have also chanted Buddha's name and prayed with her."
Her voice revealed her deep concern for the emperor and her own inner worries.
"I feel I should do my best to help those in need. Therefore, I proposed to hold this charity event, hoping that everyone can show their love."
She paused briefly, "So far, we have raised a full fifty thousand taels of silver. I've come to report this progress and have a small request. I wonder if Your Majesty can grant it."
Faced with such a sincere attitude and a report of actual results, the emperor responded calmly: "Speak."
Although it is just a simple word, it carries a lot of weight. It is not only a recognition of Shen Muxue's efforts, but also an encouragement and support for her subsequent proposals.
After receiving such trust, Shen Muxue calmed down a little. "In order to better promote the success of this event and increase people's attention and enthusiasm for participation, I hope to obtain your majesty's inscription and include it as an item in the charity auction to be held today. This can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles and contributing to this public welfare event."
It is not difficult to see from her sincere words her determination and expectation to make this happen.
After hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment and then made a decisive decision, "Approved."
The short and powerful words instantly made Shen Muxue feel relaxed and happy, and she was secretly grateful for the support from this benevolent monarch.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. If there are any further developments or new information, I will return to provide a detailed report."
Shen Muxue quickly bowed to express her gratitude and promised to continue to maintain close communication and provide the emperor with the latest reports at any time.
It was not until Eunuch Peng reported his mission and personally escorted her to the door before turning back to the palace to handle other matters, and when she received the precious imperial edict in her hand, did she dare to completely relax her tense heartstrings.
But at the same time, he secretly warned himself: Fortunately, things went very smoothly and ended successfully this time. In the future, I must be extra cautious and careful. I am afraid that this smart but bold and adventurous daughter of the Shen family will cause some troubles in the future!
Holding the calligraphy work bestowed by the emperor in his hand, Shen Muxue led several servants and quickly rushed towards the imperial garden.
Just as they were passing by a rockery in a garden, they faintly heard a few conversations mentioning the three words "Shen Muxue", which immediately aroused her great interest.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, this clever and courageous girl cautiously approached the source of the sound, hoping to find out who was discussing her name...
"This jade ornament of mine cannot be auctioned off. Please return it to me immediately."
His tone was anxious, and his eyes revealed his deep regard for the jade ornament.
"Your Highness is so stingy! It's just a small ornament. If it wasn't for me keeping it, you wouldn't ask for it back so often. If it was Shen Muxue who had it, I don't think you would care so much."
She spoke dissatisfiedly, obviously very unhappy with his excessive demands.
The ones who spoke were actually the pair of King Xuan and Shen Luoxi.
Shen Muxue, who had no interest in continuing to listen to the sweet interaction between the two, was about to leave, but then turned back - what if she could hear some useful information?
If they are progressing too slowly, perhaps I can give them some encouragement.
Thinking secretly in his mind, Shen Muxue quietly returned to his original place.
"What a misunderstanding! This item is not suitable for anyone to give to. Neither Shen Muxue nor anyone else can receive it. Please return it to the king."
His expression was serious and resolute, as if he was expressing his determination and attitude.
Faced with such an attitude, Shen Luoxi was naturally unwilling to hand it over.
"Then please tell me, do you prefer Shen Muxue, or do you have deeper feelings for me?"
She asked tentatively, her tone tinged with anticipation and uneasiness.
"Of course it's you. I've already said that I only have an engagement with her. It's just a formality."
Prince Xuan looked very serious, and he wanted to swear an oath to prove his words immediately in order to gain his sister's trust.
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "I don't believe it. Which man wouldn't be moved by Shen Muxue's captivating face? I just don't like her."
There was a hint of teasing and mockery in her smile, as if she had seen through it all.
Prince Xuan shook his head firmly, his eyes filled with determination. "I really don't think she's anything special. In my heart, the most beautiful one is you, Sister Luo Xi. No matter how outstanding her appearance is, it can't compare to your beauty and temperament."
"Really? Then try putting this packet of pollen in her tea. My mother once told me that whenever she touched a rose, her face would quickly turn red and swell up, and it would take a long time to return to normal. If you put this pollen in her tea and her complexion changes drastically, I'll believe what you said."
In order to get back her beloved jade pendant, Shen Luoxi has been racking her brains and thinking hard these days, making King Xuan almost exhausted.
Now he finally found an opportunity to get it back from Shen Muxue. Not to mention it was just a small bag of ordinary pollen, even if it was a bag of poison, he would never hesitate or retreat.
At this time, Shen Muxue, who had been standing aside and observing the changes in the situation, found that the matter had been settled. Knowing that there would be no benefit in staying any longer, she gently gestured to the palace maid behind her.
The two of them slowly turned around and walked back along an inconspicuous path towards the previously bustling auction venue.
Not long after, King Xuan and Shen Luoxi also returned here after a series of twists and turns.
At this moment, Prince Xuan was busy taking care of the Queen Mother, carefully and meticulously serving the old lady's daily life.
Taking the opportunity, he specially prepared a cup of steaming hot tea for Shen Muxue and handed it to her.
When Shen Muxue took the teacup, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
She never thought that her allergic reaction to roses would be used as such a convenient means by others.
