Chapter 485 Using the Imperial Edict as a Bargaining Chip (1/2)



Sadly, she deceived herself into believing she had become a mortal.

If she hadn't come today, she probably wouldn't even know.

While lost in thought, Chu Lingqing kept her eyes fixed on the movements of Chi Yu's hands.

When he realized that her two hands were completely different, he finally came to his senses.

A hand, pressed against that nail plate.

The other hand, which was very neatly trimmed, was coated with a layer of transparent, reflective material.

Then other colors were applied, and more paintings were created on top.

Finally, they even stuck some sparkly "gems" on it.

She looked at Chi Yu's left hand, then at his right, and was very tempted.

Before her mother could even speak, she said:

"Sister Le'an, could you sell me some of these things?"

Chi Yu looked up at her, pretending to think, and nodded after a moment:

"Let's not talk about whether to sell or not."

"These items on the table, you and your mother can each choose two; consider them my gifts to you both."

Chu Lingqing whispered to her mother for a while, and then the two of them each chose two of their favorites.

If they use these things sparingly, they can use them several times over.

There are two opportunities available before the end of the year: one is the imperial banquet held by the court to reward the soldiers.

The last one is the palace banquet on New Year's Eve!

Chi Yu did not stay in the palace for long; she did not do Chu Lingqing's or Fang Jiafeng's nails.

After the two had chosen their items, she waved her hand, and all the items went into her spatial storage.

Before leaving the palace, she said to Fang Jiafeng, "Empress, I am not a person who likes all kinds of banquets."

Please spread the word and prevent those with ulterior motives from sending invitations to my residence.

Don't bother trying to get information from my older brother.

All I want is to live a peaceful and stable life with my brother and sister-in-law, like ordinary people.

"Okay, fairy, don't worry, I know what to do!"

When Chi Yu left Fengming Palace and headed to the palace gate, she still rode in a sedan chair.

Fearing that Chi Yu might be stopped by some ignorant concubine on the way, Fang Jiafeng specially sent her personal nanny to escort her.

But before she even reached the palace gate, she was stopped by someone.

"Princess Le'an, the Emperor has finished his court session and is currently in Taiming Palace. He requests your presence there!"

Chi Yu lifted the sedan curtain and saw that the one blocking the way was Eunuch Fu.

She didn't know why Emperor Shengkang wanted to see her, but after thinking for a moment, she agreed.

There is no sun today, and the north wind is howling non-stop.

Even though it was almost noon, it was still very cold.

When Chi Yu's sedan chair stopped in front of Taiming Palace, Eunuch Fu went ahead to announce his arrival.

When he came out again, the fish in the pond had just regained its footing.

"Princess Le'an, please come in with me!"

This time, Chi Yu didn't act coy and, led by Eunuch Fu, went directly into Taiming Palace.

At the same time, the palace maids who had been serving inside the hall also came out one after another.

Emperor Shengkang, who was still reviewing memorials, put down his pen upon hearing footsteps.

"Little Fuzi, prepare a seat for Princess Le'an!"

Eunuch Fu was very conscientious. After moving the grand master's chair for Chi Yu, he voluntarily went out to guard outside the hall.

Just as Chi Yu was about to speak, Emperor Sheng Kang said tentatively:

"Le'an, since the weather in the capital returned to normal, it has been slow to snow."

In previous years, it would rain at least twice by this time.

"Now that you still possess divine powers, why not help with the next snowfall, so that the people may know that a timely snowfall promises a bountiful harvest?"

The merits accumulated in the Pond Fish Space have been cleared out and have not yet been accumulated.

It was impossible for it to snow, so she replied with a completely calm expression:

"Your Majesty, the year of disaster is over, and the next few years will be blessed with favorable weather and abundant harvests."
