PEASANT WOMAN'S DECREED LIFE AS A WIFE

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1174: Entering the Palace

“All she needs to do is come and sincerely ask me.”

“Hahaha…” Madam Tang strode away with an extremely arrogant demeanor.

Chun Xing stomped her foot in anger, “She’s too much, Lady doesn’t need to beg a mere concubine.”

“Be cautious with your words.” Su Mei watched Madam Tang leave and said, “Report this matter to Master.”

“Right, although Master doesn’t hold a high position, he is clever and will surely avenge the Lady.” Chun Xing clenched her fists and spoke vehemently.

Imperial Palace.

After Ye Muyu entered the palace, she was led through the long palace corridors.

The deep palace walls, carrying a sense of confinement yet not losing their grandeur, and the long corridors; it took Ye Muyu two quarters of an hour to finally step out of the palace walls and enter through the second gate, where various buildings began to appear around her.

She was led to the understated yet luxurious Kunning Palace.

“Madam, please follow the servant girl.” The eunuch who brought Ye Muyu into the palace communicated with a nanny from Kunning Palace and evidently made the handover.

Ye Muyu nodded and followed her into Kunning Palace.

The palace was planted with peonies, an extremely luxurious variety, which was somewhat different from the understated style of the Lin family that Ah Heng had mentioned.

However, she did not rush to conclusions, lowered her eyes, and followed discreetly into the hall.

The room was amply heated with charcoal fire; Ye Muyu felt the chill around her dispelled, and a maidservant approached from behind to remove her cloak.

“Thank you.”

As Ye Muyu walked in, she saw a middle-aged woman dressed in elegant crimson brocade sitting at the head of the soft couch and quickly knelt down to salute, “This subject’s wife pays respects to the Empress.”

“Rise, grant Madam a seat,” said Empress Lin, her face displaying a kindly smile.

Ye Muyu felt honored and sat halfway, “Thank you, Empress.”

“Madam need not be nervous, I’ll speak with you first. The Emperor will come later after finishing his official duties; he mainly wants to ask how the Lady researched the high-yield rice variety.”

Ye Muyu felt grounded, guessing what Tang Rou had done, but she also had to be careful in her response.

“Actually, the high-yield rice variety was not solely my research. Initially, it was from various books collected; the villagers had long ago noticed that using the same seeds yearly yielded rice of varying quality, surely due to some reason.”

“Because of this phenomenon, I consulted more elderly farmers and conducted experiments myself, then compiled the findings into a book. Coincidentally, the Fourth Prince visited our village and came to our home. Thinking of Buddhism’s compassion, I handed over the book to the head of Deming Temple.”

“It was really a stroke of good luck, a sign of the country’s peace and prosperity.” Ye Muyu told the truth while also flattering, thinking that as long as there weren’t any major flaws, the Emperor shouldn’t hold it against her.

“I see… Madam, I am very interested in affairs outside the palace, please do tell me more about it,” said the Empress.

Ye Muyu cooperated naturally, answering whatever Empress Lin asked with honesty; there was nothing she couldn’t discuss.

This conversation lasted two quarters of an hour.

When a palace lady came in to inform Empress Lin that the Emperor had arrived, the two’s conversation concluded.

Ye Muyu quickly got up, intending to take her leave first.

Empress Lin raised her hand to stop her, “Madam need not be nervous, the Emperor came to speak with you, come meet the Empress first.”

At this moment, Ye Muyu clearly felt Empress Lin’s favoritism and thought of Zhongjin.
