Chapter 408 Is there still no news about Tuoba Ruoli?

Although Yu Youning didn't understand mechanical engineering, he was very interested in it.

When Xiao Muyu and Huo Yun'an were about to go to the palace to meet the emperor, Yu Youning naturally went with them.

Yu Youning did not go there empty-handed, he also brought a lot of pills he made.

Arrived at the imperial study.

Then he saw that not only the emperor was there, but Chu Huaixu was also there.

A hint of fatigue can be seen between the brows of both men.

Obviously, the two had been in the imperial study for a long time and should have been dealing with state affairs.

When Huo Yun'an and Xiao Muyu were reporting to the emperor, Chu Huaixu quietly walked to Yu Youning's side.

"Youning, why did you come along too?"

“Interesting!”

Yu Youning blinked her big eyes.

"Don't you think mechanical engineering is interesting?"

Wood has no life, but through some methods, a pile of inanimate objects can be made to move on their own, and even carry people and goods. Isn’t this something very interesting?

Chu Huaixu smiled and nodded, "It is indeed very interesting."

It’s a pity that he now has to spend more and more time dealing with state affairs and no longer has time to study these interesting things.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s enough that Youning can do research!

He handles the affairs of state, allowing Youning to happily and freely delve into the things that interest her. That's enough!

Yu Youning took out two porcelain bottles and said, "These are the pills I just made. They're good for your hair. You can give them to the Queen later."

Chu Huaixu heard this but did not take it. "Such a fine thing, made by you yourself, must be given to the Queen Mother by you. I will not do it for you."

Although the Queen Mother already liked Youning very much, who would complain about liking something like this?

Of course, the more the better!

Just as Yu Youning was about to speak, the emperor looked over at him sharply.

"Xu'er, Youning, what are you two talking about?"

Yu Youning immediately looked at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's nothing. I just made the pills I was researching recently. My mother tried them and thought they were very good, so I asked Ah Xu to send some to the Empress."

The emperor was instantly interested when he heard this. "Oh? What kind of pill is that? Why haven't I heard Xu'er mention it before?"

"The Emperor is very busy with so many important things to do. It's difficult for Ah Xu to tell you about such a small matter and disturb you."

"How can this be considered a trivial matter?" The emperor disagreed. "Youning's medical skills are so impressive. What he developed must be extraordinary medicine. It must have extraordinary uses."

"It nourishes hair!" Yu Youning said bluntly.

She was afraid that if she didn't speak directly, the emperor would praise her even more outrageously.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but soon burst into laughter.

"Hair nourishing? That's a good thing! Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I always feel that my hair is not as good as before. Although the palace maids will hide a lot every time I comb it, I know that a lot of it must have fallen out. Your pills are so effective, can you give me some?"

The emperor of the time asked for things in person.

If it were someone else, they might feel uneasy, fearing that the emperor would become more and more angry and secretly settle accounts with them.

But Yu Youning didn't have any such worries at all.

There was no way the emperor would bother with her over such a small matter.

Besides, she had already prepared the emperor's portion.

Originally, I wanted to wait until the serious business was finished before taking it out to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor discovered it first and asked for it.

Yu Youning was not afraid at all, nor was he panicked at all. Instead, he gave the emperor a bright smile.

"Even if Your Majesty didn't tell me, I would have prepared it for you! I originally wanted to wait until Your Majesty was done with his work before giving it to you! I'll give it to Your Majesty now!"

As Yu Youning spoke, he took out two more porcelain bottles, walked up to the emperor with cheerful steps, and handed the porcelain bottles over.

The emperor took the porcelain bottle in his hand and opened one of them directly. "How do I take this?"

"Just eat one a day!"

The emperor nodded, and the next moment, he poured a pill into the palm of his hand and put it into his mouth with a smile.

Eunuch Wang saw this scene, but he just looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, thinking that he was blind.

According to the rules, no matter who it is, anything presented to the emperor, especially something imported, should be carefully inspected.

When the emperor made a move to eat immediately, Wang Gonggong, the chief eunuch, came out to stop him, saying that this was against the rules.

But now, Eunuch Wang didn't dare to speak up and say such words.

Can Yu Youning be the same as others?

The emperor trusted Yu Youning as much as he trusted the prince.

stop?

That would only offend three people!

Only if you don't stop it will you be safe!

As soon as the emperor finished taking the pill, he smiled and asked Yu Youning, "Youning, how is it? Do you think my hair has become darker?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Youning immediately laughed.

"Your Majesty, you just finished eating it, how can it be effective so quickly? You have to wait at least a few days!"

When the emperor heard this, he burst into laughter.

The atmosphere, which was a bit serious just now, has now completely relaxed.

Xiao Muyu was actually a little nervous.

After all, after she finished speaking, the emperor did not express his opinion and turned to talk to Yu Youning.

Seeing the emperor's happy smile, Xiao Muyu felt that the atmosphere was just right and wanted to ask some more questions.

Before she could say anything, the emperor looked over with a smile. "I already know what you just said, and I agree with it. Don't worry, I will post an imperial edict to recruit all the mechanical engineers in the Great Yong Society for you to choose from and deploy at your disposal."

What he had been worried about finally came true, which made Xiao Muyu ecstatic and he wanted to express his gratitude immediately.

But before she could speak, the expression on the emperor's face suddenly became serious.

"Don't be so quick to thank me! It's not like I don't have any requests! I only agreed to let you do this because I trust you. Please don't let me down!"

Xiao Muyu knelt straight down, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Muyu will not let you down! If I fail, I will bring my head before you!"

When Huo Yun'an heard this, his heart tightened.

But at this time, in front of the emperor, he had no way to stop anything. He could only make up his mind to help Xiao Muyu and do this well.

otherwise......

No otherwise!

They will definitely succeed!

He believes in Mu Yu!

After finishing this matter, the emperor asked Xiao Muyu and Yu Youning to leave first and sit with the queen. He had other things to ask Huo Yunan.

Liangcheng is adjacent to Xiliang and is the most important city. The emperor always keeps the situation in Liangcheng in mind.

Although we had exchanged letters before, the content that could be written in the letters was limited.

Now that Huo Yunan has returned to Beijing, it would be best to ask him directly!

...

Yu Youning and Xiao Muyu went to the queen's palace together.

On the way, Yu Youning comforted Xiao Muyu, "Sister Muyu, don't worry, the emperor is not that scary, he won't let you come to see him with your head carried!

Besides, I believe in Sister Muyu, you can definitely do it!"

Xiao Muyu knew that Yu Youning was just trying to comfort him out of kindness, but he still smiled at her, "Youning is right! I also believe that I can definitely do it!"

Since she dared to talk to the emperor about this matter, it meant that she had already made up her mind.

She was going to succeed in this matter no matter what!

Seeing Xiao Muyu so confident, Yu Youning was completely relieved.

As the two were talking, they had already arrived at the Queen's Palace.

As soon as the queen saw Yu Youning, she smiled with her eyes curved. Without waiting for Yu Youning to salute, she stood up and walked over and held Yu Youning's hand.

"Youning, come quickly, sit down and talk. No need for those empty formalities."

After pulling Yu Youning to sit down, the Queen looked at Xiao Muyu, "What is this?"

There were countless children of ministers in the court, but the queen could only recognize a few of them.

Not to mention, Xiao Muyu's situation is rather special, and he has been living in Liangcheng in recent years, so the Queen has never seen him.

Yu Youning hurriedly introduced with a smile, "Empress, this is Sister Muyu. Her name is Xiao Muyu. Her mechanical skills are amazing. Many of the military's mechanical vehicles have been improved by her, and their power is even greater than before!"

"oh?"

Xiao Muyu came here with Yu Youning, and the queen already valued her more.

After hearing what Yu Youning said, the Queen was even more shocked, and naturally valued Xiao Muyu more.

But this time it was not because Xiao Muyu and Yu Youning had a good relationship, it was entirely because of Xiao Muyu himself.

A powerful and capable person is always looked up to no matter when or where he is.

The queen smiled gently at Xiao Muyu and asked him a lot of questions.

Not only did the Queen have a gentle voice, but the questions she asked were all about Xiao Muyu herself and her mechanical skills.

As for Xiao Muyu's identity, he didn't ask a single question.

Of course, the Queen would not have been surprised, nor was she uncurious.

But she was an extremely smart person. Just by listening to Yu Youning's previous introduction, she realized that Xiao Muyu's life experience should not be revealed.

Otherwise, when Yu Youning introduced her, he would directly say whose daughter she was.

The queen is worthy of being the queen!

If she had not been so smart and had such high emotional intelligence, she would not have been able to sit on the throne of empress for so many years, and it would have been even more impossible for her to have such a deep love with the emperor for so many years.

The three of them chatted for half an hour before the emperor brought Chu Huaixu and Huo Yunan over.

The six of them stood up and sat down to have dinner together.

Huo Yun'an and Xiao Muyu were reserved and didn't eat much.

Yu Youning had no worries and ate happily, his whole body filled with joy.

Just watching her eat will make me happy even if I don’t get any of the food.

After dinner, the emperor did not let them leave immediately.

They changed places to sit, and the palace servants brought them snacks and tea.

Yu Youning was enjoying some snacks with tea when the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Youning, it's been over a month. Is there still no news about Tuoba Ruoli?"
