Chapter 424: High Position and High Salary, Just Say It
"I have heard from the Crown Prince that your master is a very powerful hermit. I wonder where he lives now. Can you please come to the capital to meet him?"
He was a hermit and an expert, and the emperor was somewhat envious of him.
"If he wants, I will not hesitate to offer him a high position and generous salary as long as it is something he likes."
The emperor's words were full of temptation, but he was also speaking from his heart.
In the Yuan Dynasty today, no master has appeared since the departure of the national teacher. Now that he has finally met one, he naturally wants to try his best.
Regardless of success or failure, there will be no loss for the emperor.
"I dare not hide anything from your Majesty. My master is very casual in his actions. If he hadn't come to find me, we wouldn't have been able to contact him."
Yuxiu had already prepared herself to be questioned, so she was not panicked at all. She smiled slightly and gave the excuse she had prepared long ago.
"But I have taken note of your Majesty's words. As long as my master comes next time, I will definitely tell him what your Majesty said. Whether he agrees or not, I will come back to give your Majesty a reply."
Seeing that the emperor was somewhat disappointed, Yuxiu rolled her eyes and came up with a good idea.
But at this moment I still don't know whether this thing can be done, so it's not good to be so confident.
"That's good, that's good. Anyway, please tell your master that as long as he agrees to come see me, you can put forward any conditions. As long as it can be done, it won't be a problem."
After hearing Yuxiu's words, the emperor was so happy that he laughed a few times and called Eunuch Gui over.
Let him take Yuxiu to his private storehouse, and pick out a few items that he likes to take back.
"This girl, is she too excited? Why doesn't she come and thank His Majesty?"
Seeing that Yuxiu didn't know what to do, Concubine Jing came over with a smile, took Yuxiu's hand, and took her to pay her respects to the emperor.
"You don't know, there are so many good things in His Majesty's storehouse. It's a rare gift from His Majesty today, so just pick a few more."
"That's the truth. Just ask someone to get it for you if you like it."
The emperor did this because of what happened before, and he wanted to give Yuxiu some benefits secretly.
So as soon as Yuxiu went back, she was taken out by Eunuch Gui again. After walking around for a long time, they finally arrived at a place that was heavily guarded.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Since the emperor asked her to pick a few, Yuxiu naturally couldn't refuse.
But even though she was told to choose by herself, Yuxiu couldn't just refuse to take it, but she couldn't just take too much either.
After following Eunuch Gui into the storehouse, Yuxiu was like a little mouse falling into a rice jar.
Faced with this room full of good things, Yuxiu really wanted to just ignore it and put all the things into the space with a wave of her hand.
But this idea is really just something we can think about.
This is the emperor's private treasury. People kindly asked you to pick something out, but you wanted to buy it all out. That is immoral.
Since you can’t take it away, just enjoy it.
Look to the left, and you will see a wide variety of jewellery; look to the right, and you will see ornaments and paintings that you have only heard of but never seen before.
Not to mention the countless gold, silver and jewelry, which were piled up high in boxes.
Yuxiu walked around the warehouse for a long time, and as expected, she was soon dazzled.
Her current space is filled with countless jewels, but most of them are gold and silver.
The emperor's storehouse is filled with mostly precious and rare items, and they are all neatly arranged. One glance at them makes people feel fascinated by them.
There is nothing much to choose from these things. Just pick up one or two and it will be enough for an ordinary person to have food and drink for a lifetime.
Yuxiu looked around for a while and finally consulted Eunuch Gui for advice before she picked out a very sharp dagger, picked up a set of jade jewelry, and finally picked up an ornament that looked very interesting.
Whether this can be used or not, just take it out first.
When the emperor saw that Yuxiu had only chosen a few things, he complained that she had chosen too few and said jokingly:
"I have so many treasures. You might as well take a few more and save them as your dowry in the future. It will be a very impressive thing."
Just when Yuxiu left, the emperor already knew about the arrangements for her marriage.
Since the master said so, the emperor just went along with it and the matter ended there.
In fact, if Yuxiu hadn't told the emperor first about her master's arrangements, the emperor would have really wanted to tie her together with Crown Prince Qi Siyuan.
The emperor was very satisfied with the prince as the candidate for the crown prince.
If he really married Yuxiu as the Crown Princess, the Ning Wang Mansion would become his solid backing.
It’s a bit regrettable, but there’s nothing I can do but let this matter go for now.
Yuxiu pretended to be very embarrassed and lowered her head. She only bowed slightly to the emperor and said thank you in a mosquito-like voice.
This shy look of a little girl made everyone laugh again, and then they changed the topic.
The emperor was also self-aware. He knew that as long as he stayed here, these people would not dare to speak freely.
After chatting with everyone for a while, he quickly stood up, said that he had to deal with official business, and left with his people.
After he left, everyone, including Concubine Jing, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the emperor looks very kind, the saying "living with a king is like living with a tiger" is not a joke.
Everyone has to be careful in front of him. If something is said incorrectly, someone will be in trouble.
Now there are no outsiders in this house, and everyone can finally speak their true feelings to their families.
At this time, Xu Qinghe was still a little dazed.
Originally, I thought Yan Laosan was just a yard keeper, but who knew he was actually the most valuable person in the Yuan Dynasty.
Fortunately, he now has some experience, so he can hide the surprised expression on his face in time.
However, when the emperor saw Xu Qinghe, he smiled heartily and took the initiative to mention what happened at Caishikou that day.
"I have tried to send you those medical books, but I don't know when the antidote pills you promised to give me will be delivered..."
The emperor had a smile on his face, and was very satisfied with the extremely shocked expression he had seen on Xu Qinghe's face before.
Speaking of medical books, Xu Qinghe finally reacted in a daze.
It turns out that those medical books were sent out by the emperor through Concubine Jing.
