Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
They didn’t expect West River Village to be so shabby. They had thought that this place had been approved by the Emperor and had been specially established by Gu Ying as a Civil and Military Academy. Even if it wasn’t a prosperous place, it shouldn’t be a shabby small mountain village at the foot of the mountain!
This village didn’t even have a proper official road, and they couldn’t enter or leave as they pleased even if it rained heavily. Their feet would definitely be covered in mud.
The villagers looked at them as if they were monkeys. Although they did not point at them, it was uncomfortable to look at them.
Many people had already begun to give up. They wondered if such an academy could let them learn well.
To think that their parents had assured them that Gu Ying was a good person. He was originally the top scholar, but for various reasons, he gave up his position and chose to return to the village to establish the Civil and Martial Arts College. He wanted to study well with this kind of scholar. However, under the conditions of studying well, the environment should be comfortable, right? Although the landscape here was passable, the important thing was, was there anywhere in the village that they could live?
Could it be that they were going to stay in the villagers’ houses?
Gu Ying and MO Ruyue had seen the students’ reactions. They were just like her apprentices.
These people were things that Gu Ying had to settle himself. If she could help, Gu Ying would definitely ask her for help. She would not take the initiative to take care of them. She still had a bunch of female students to take care of.
If it weren’t for Granny Rong and Granny Yan helping her share the burden, she would have been in even more trouble.
Those female doctors were going back in a few days, so she could relax a lot.
The other female students were also fortunate to have been taught by Granny Rong and Granny Yan, so they were much more polite than before.
MO Ruyue felt that she had to treat Granny Rong and Granny Yan better. They would definitely do their best in the future.
There were two students wearing coarse clothes. When they saw Gu Ying and the others unloading the things, they went forward to help. They were very obedient and did not need to be called.
The other students were a little disgusted. Those things were dusty and dirty. They were quite tired after traveling for a few days and only wanted to rest. However, when they saw the two students trying to curry favor with them, if they did not go, they would definitely be hated or disliked by the teachers. A few students were a little dissatisfied with the two students.
In the end, all the students reluctantly or willingly stepped forward to help. Soon, all the things on the four carriages were unloaded. As soon as the four carriages made room, another group of carriages arrived. Those carriages were more luxurious. One look and one could tell that they belonged to rich families. The leader was actually wearing a eunuch’s uniform.
MO Ruyue was very familiar with this eunuch. This eunuch had come to her village before.
The eunuch also saw MO Ruyue in the crowd. He hurriedly got off the carriage and walked toward her with a smile. He stopped a few steps away from her and bowed respectfully to MO Ruyue. “This servant greets Princess Ming Yue!”
“Eunuch, get up. What are you doing?
MO Ruyue glanced at Gu Ying as she asked the eunuch. The eunuch’s carriage must have followed his carriage here.
Gu Ying shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
The eunuch would not let MO Ruyue guess, and he did not dare to either. He directly stated his intention.
“The Emperor said that these are some of the capital’s latest gadgets, sent to the Princess to play with to relieve her boredom.”
After the eunuch finished speaking, he swung his horsetail whisk behind him and said to the guards beside the carriage, “Unload the carriage quickly.”
A few guards hurriedly stepped forward to unload the things on the carriage. Their movements were gentle but not slow.
MO Ruyue glanced at Gu Ying again. Gu Ying shook his head and cursed in his heart. The Emperor was too shameless. He must have sent someone to spy on him. That was how he knew what MO Ruyue wanted and sent it back with him.
He sent four carriages, and the Emperor also sent four carriages. It seemed that the quality of the things he sent should be better than the ones he sent. This Ji Hong!
The eunuch saw the guards unloading the things and quickly smiled at MO Ruyue to make a good impression.
“Princess Ming Yue has many things in here that the Emperor personally picked. Consort Li and Empress Dowager also picked many of them.”
‘Empress Dowager and Consort Li miss you very much.”
This wasn’t just what Empress Dowager and Consort Li wanted. Actually, the Emperor also wanted it, but he didn’t say it out loud. As servants, they all saw it.
They didn’t know that when the Princess asked Gu Ying to collect those little things in the capital, the Emperor immediately ordered people to collect better ones. Adding the reputation of Empress Dowager and the Consort Li, this was all for the sake of Princess Ming Yue’s reputation.
It could be seen that the Emperor had really put in a lot of effort for Princess Ming Yue.
“I really have to thank the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Consort Li.”
“After you go back, please thank them for me personally. I am busy now and I can’t visit them. When I have time, I will definitely visit them.”
“Ai, when this servant returns to the palace, this servant will definitely pass on the Princess’s words to the Emperor, Empress Dowager and Consort Li without missing a single word.”
‘Granny Rong, please bring a cup of tea and snacks for the eunuch.”
“Granny Yan, come with me. Prepare some small things for the eunuch to bring back to the Empress Dowager and Consort Li.”
“Please wait a moment, Eunuch,” MO Ruyue said to the eunuch.”
“Princess, this is what this servant should do.”
MO Ruyue didn’t have much to give to the nobles in the palace. She only had some local specialties, such as honey produced by her family.
She left a mark on the paper seal on the honey and asked her father-in-law to bring another letter to the Emperor, Consort Li, and the others. She asked them to take a look when they opened the letter. If there were any traces of it being touched, it must have been tampered with.
She didn’t want to get involved in the royal family’s struggles without getting any benefits or praise. She might even lose her head.
Among these things, there were also a few newly developed powerful detoxification pills.
Logically speaking, she couldn’t give medicine to the palace, but MO Ruyue only had these things.
She couldn’t possibly send some chickens and ducks that only knew how to poop.
Granny Rong and the eunuch knew each other. Hearing Granny Rong describe the life here, the eunuch yearned for it and could only be envious.
The things that MO Ruyue and Granny Yan had prepared for the palace were all ready. After loading the carriage, the eunuch took his leave.
When he passed by the foot of the mountain outside West River Village, he saw many people standing there digging stones. The eunuch did not ask what they were doing, as he was not interested in this.
When he passed by the princess’s manor, he went down to ask Meng Xun when it would be completed.
Meng Xun had seen the royal carriage enter West River Village before, so he knew more about MO Ruyue’s status in the royal family. She was indeed more favored than a princess.
Now that the eunuch had specifically come to ask him, he did not hide anything.
“Replying to Eunuch Gong, it will be completed in three to five days.”
“This lowly official has been monitoring the progress of the princess’s manor day and night. I dare not make the slightest mistake.”
When the eunuch heard this, he still said to Meng Xun with a straight face, “There can’t be any mistakes in the Princess’s manor. Otherwise, all of you will bring your heads to see him. This is the Emperors intention.”
At this moment, the eunuch did not have the slightest bit of a good expression in front of MO Ruyue.
The eunuch went into the princess’s manor and took a look with his own eyes. He was quite satisfied. He was in a hurry to return to the palace to report and would not stay any longer. He once again instructed Meng Xun and sat on the carriage back to the capital.
After his father-in-law left, Meng Xun gave several orders to the construction teams. They were just a bit away from the last bit of work. They must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, it was needless to say what would happen to them..
