Chapter 84: The National Destiny Mission

The officials of the Great Xia court were all in high spirits, except Wu Yi, who had a complicated expression.

Yuanruan: [Ah, gloves can actually trigger national destiny missions? Tell me more.]

System: [Okay.]

[National Destiny Side Quest: Get the emperor's attention and wear the gloves Wu Yi gave him to court for a day. Reward: National Destiny Points +1 (Not Completed)]

Let the emperor wear cute woolen gloves to court for a day?

And you specifically want Wu Yi?

The court officials' gazes first fell on the emperor who had not yet completely left, and then moved to Wu Yi. Their eyes narrowed and suddenly became obscene.

Emperor, Wu Yi: ...

System: [Strange, how could such a task be triggered? Hiss, could it be the same as Cheng Weining? The national destiny helped to accomplish it in one step.]

Court officials: !!!

Ahem, the system sees through it but doesn’t say anything.

Oh no, you didn’t say it at first.

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [No way. I think the problem is probably with the male mother's gloves. Look, the material of these gloves is different from those in the palace. They look a bit like they are made of wool. Tong'er, see if Gua can tell you the reason.]

System: [Let me see! Damn, I didn’t expect a male mother to be so infatuated! ]

The courtiers immediately showed interest: Come on, get ready for the storm melon.

emperor:!!!

He didn't want to think too much, but considering what the system had said before, the emperor walked away from Wu Yi without saying a word.

The system continued: [This guy said that the boy's mother loved her cat very much. In order to commemorate the dead cat, she twisted the cat's fur into strands of wool, and then made a hollow cat shape. Hmm, what an infatuated owner, but, so what? ]

The system's doubts were also the doubts of the court officials.

Yes, even if cat hair was played with and made into something, why would it be so favored by the country?

Yuan Ruan revealed a tone of sudden enlightenment: [Oh, so that's it. ]

Everyone looked at him sideways: Really?

Yuan Ruan continued: [Tong'er, have you forgotten the "sheep eat people" plan that many people like to play? Even if they don't play this plan, there are still many people who use wool yarn to create a trade deficit. Since this national destiny mission will be triggered, I estimate that the Xiongnu has not yet found wool yarn, so with wool yarn technology, wool can be turned into treasure in the early stage, and those plans are not impossible in the later stage. ]

Everyone: ???

What is this sheep-eating-man plan?

What is a trade deficit?

Let’s talk about the small country movement.

But Yuanruan stopped there, and the system became excited: [Vacal! Yes, Ah Ruan is right. And the warmth-keeping function of woolen clothes is much better than the silk and linen cloth nowadays. Hiss, if you put it that way, I feel that one point of the National Games reward is too little! ]

Everyone’s pupils dilated: ???

What?

The Huns had so much wool that they couldn't even throw it away, but they could actually make clothes? And top-notch warm clothes?

The court officials looked at the small gloves with burning eyes: Is this a glove? No, this is the key to the gold mountain.

Yuanruan: [This task is a little difficult to complete. I need to think about it carefully.]

Other court officials were also thinking, yes, it is indeed difficult to complete this task reasonably while hiding the small country's destiny.

Because this task has two splits.

First, Wu Yi had to take the initiative to present the gloves to the emperor. Second, the emperor had to realize the importance of the gloves and wear them all day.

Let’s not talk about the second one for now.

The first step is how Wu Yi can "reasonably" present gloves to the emperor.

The court officials pondered.

At this time, the young doctor of the Ministry of Personnel took a deep breath and said in surprise: "General, these gloves look really cute, and the knitting method is also very innovative. I am worried about the birthday present for my little daughter. Can you lend me your embroiderer for a few days to teach my embroiderer?"

Everyone:?

What are you talking about, Doctor of the Ministry of Personnel? Didn't you know that Wu Yi made this up himself?

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment.

At this time, the doctor from the Ministry of Personnel pulled the somewhat confused doctor from the Ministry of Justice over and said, "General Wu, these gloves look like something that babies will like. I touched them before and they were particularly warm. I remember that your embroiderer was specially invited from Jiangnan. Does she know this craft?"

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice seemed to realize something when he heard this, and he coughed and said, "I have never seen this pattern of gloves before. General Wu, can you let my embroiderer learn it? I can exchange it with the three-sided embroidery skills."

At this point, the court officials who had extensive experience in covering up lies had already figured out what the two doctors were doing.

This is a reasonable way of "chatting about daily life" to "attract" people's attention to gloves.

Thinking of this, more and more courtiers joined in:

"Not bad, my little girl loves cats the most, she will definitely like this glove."

"This embroiderer is quite skilled. She feels quite warm to the touch."

"General Wu, you can't keep your beautiful embroidered girl hidden!"

…

As the two were talking, the voice in their hearts echoed again;

System: [Aruan, you see, gold will never be buried. So many people like Wu Yi's craftsmanship, there is a good chance that this mission can be completed.]

Yuanruan: [Pfft, I was thinking about something. So many people asked for gloves, and the general was afraid that people would know that he made them by himself. He couldn't teach other embroiderers, so he gave a speech in court, and after court he went home to light a lamp and stay awake to make gloves. Haha, it's quite cute.]

The court officials had strange expressions and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Wu Yi: …

After court, he always comes home to practice sword and stick!

Yuan Ruan added: "But Tong'er, you are right. Since the gloves can attract the attention of so many court officials, they will probably also be attractive to the emperor who has children. I will show the gloves to the emperor more later to see if I can arouse his interest. If I can, Wu Yi, who has a higher emotional intelligence, will take the initiative to offer the gloves."

System: [Okay. The court is just about over, and your brother is here too. Ah Ruan, you can give it a try.]

Yuanruan immediately turned around, rubbed her soft little face on the gloves, and then waved the gloves at the emperor, saying "ya ya ya", trying her best to act coquettishly.

The emperor understood what was meant and walked over, pretending to want to take a look at the gloves.

Yuanruan curled her face, held the small gloves tightly in her arms, and uttered a few words with her leaky teeth, "Happy, happy... hot, good!"

The prince said in a flattering tone, "Father, I haven't seen my ninth sister smile like this in a long time."

Just after he finished speaking, the prince was puzzled to find that the ninth sister's chubby face seemed strange for a second.

The emperor said, "Yes, I see."

The prince turned his head and looked at the emperor: The opportunity has come, please continue speaking, father.

The court officials looked at the emperor: The opportunity has come, please continue, Your Majesty.

The emperor froze for a moment. What did he say?

He said, "I like gloves, too."

The courtiers and the prince almost fell backwards, heartbroken: Your Majesty, you can't say that. You should take this opportunity to point out the advantages and importance of gloves, so that Wu Yi has a reason to give you a pair of gloves to complete the task! Have you let the prince take over too many times, so your acting skills have regressed? !
