When the song ended, the lake returned to tranquility again, and the small boat slowly approached the pavilion and gently stopped.

Su Peisheng stepped forward at the right time and said to the woman respectfully: "Miss, the song is over now, please follow me, the emperor is waiting to see you."

The well-trained eunuchs on the side supported the woman, and she walked lightly, as if walking on water, and slowly stepped onto the shore.

Yinzhen could no longer suppress his curiosity and joy. He stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and gently but forcefully helped the woman onto the pavilion.

After the woman stood firm, she bowed slightly and said softly in her voice as soft and clear as a swallow's whisper: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

These four words are like a spring breeze, warming your heart.

Yinzhen heard this and smiled triumphantly. He stared at the woman with admiration and praise in his eyes: "If you are so beautiful, why didn't you embrace me earlier? I am so lucky to see you today. As the ancients said, if you give me a papaya, I will repay you with a jade. Today, the beauty gave me her singing voice, so I will naturally repay her with the most precious treasure in the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around felt Yinzhen's special favor for this woman, and they all looked at her with envy or curiosity.

The woman just lowered her head and smiled faintly, with a hint of calmness in her shyness.

Yinzhen raised his hand gently, with a hint of caution in his movements, as if he was afraid of disturbing the beauty in front of him.

He slowly lifted the woman's veil, and at that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

A face that was unforgettable gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. The eyes were particularly moving, bright and deep, as if they contained thousands of words, and seemed to be able to see into people's hearts and captivate their souls.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but hold their breath and stare. An inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak easily.

This woman's appearance seems to be somewhat similar to that of a beauty in the palace, but upon closer inspection, they do not seem to be exactly the same. Her unique charm and temperament are unforgettable.

There was also a flash of surprise and admiration in Yinzhen's eyes. He seemed to be deeply attracted by these eyes and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

However, as the king of a country, he quickly regained his former dignity and calmness, but his eyes still revealed his deep love and pity for the woman.

The air around seemed to become subtle, and everyone remained silent tacitly, afraid that their words would break this rare tranquility and beauty.

As for the woman, she stood quietly beside Yinzhen with her unique gentleness and composure, allowing everyone to look at her with envy or curiosity.

Yixiu spoke at the right time, her voice gentle and appropriate, and she introduced to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, this is the beloved daughter of Zhili Governor Mu Yangong, Miss Mu Wanrou."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen nodded slightly, as if searching his mind for memories about Mu Yangong and his daughter.

"I remember that Mu Yangong was the newly appointed governor of Zhili. He was quite capable and had remarkable political achievements." He paused, and his gaze fell on Mu Wanrou again, with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Yixiu's words were full of admiration and expectation for Mu Wanrou. She continued, "Your Majesty is wise. Although there is no large-scale selection this year, I always believe that talents should not be buried. Lord Mu's daughter Wanrou has shown extraordinary talent and knowledge since she was young. Not only is she well-read and knowledgeable, she also has outstanding attainments in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. She is truly versatile and rare in the world."

She paused for a moment, looked at Mu Wanrou tenderly, and continued, "I know that the emperor is very busy and very hard-working, so I thought that if there was such a talented woman by his side, she might be able to relieve the emperor's worries and bring him a bit of freshness and joy. Therefore, I dare to make an exception and let Wanrou enter the palace to accompany the emperor."

After hearing this, Yinzhen showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew Yixiu's good intentions very well. "The queen is thoughtful. Such a beautiful woman should indeed enter the palace so that I can appreciate her talent with everyone else."

Mu Wanrou was standing by and heard the conversation between Yinzhen and Yixiu. She felt both grateful and nervous.

She knew very well that she could stand here today thanks to Yixiu's support and Yinzhen's appreciation, so she dared not slack off in the slightest.

"Then what position does the emperor plan to give her?" Yixiu asked softly.

Yinzhen pondered for a moment, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes, then he looked at Yixiu and said gently, "Let's follow the Queen's advice and make her a noble lady. How about the title 'Shu'? 'Shu' means virtuous and gentle, which is quite in line with her temperament."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu smiled with satisfaction. She nodded slightly and responded, "Your Majesty is wise. The title of Shu Guiren not only reflects the recognition of Miss Wanrou's talent, but also fits her gentle and virtuous character. Shu Guiren, why don't you come and thank the Majesty for his grace?"

Mu Wanrou hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, her voice trembling with gratitude: "I thank the emperor and the queen for their grace. I will abide by the palace rules, be diligent and cautious, and live up to the emperor and the queen's high expectations."

Seeing this, Yinzhen and Yixiu both smiled with relief.

-

"Your Majesty, Concubine Nian is here." Although his voice was soft, it was clearly audible in the palace, causing Yixiu to frown slightly.

Yixiu's gaze involuntarily turned to Yinzhen, hoping to read some clues from his expression.

However, Yinzhen just sat there calmly, as if he had not heard Xiao Xia Zi's report, and did not give any response.

Seeing this, Yixiu had no choice but to speak up herself. She suggested, "The boat has already sailed. Why not send another boat to pick her up? Although it may be a bit troublesome, we can't let Concubine Nian wait outside all the time."

Her tone was full of consideration for the other party, but deep down in her heart there was also a sense of helplessness and reluctance.

However, Yinzhen shook his head, his eyes became firm and cold, and his tone was unquestionable and resolute: "No need, let her go back." His decision was as hard as iron, leaving no room for maneuver.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xia Zi immediately understood what Yinzhen meant. He went away and carried out the emperor's order with brisk steps.

-

While Yinzhen was talking to Mu Wanrou, Cao Qinmo was taking good care of Princess Wen Yi in her arms and gently feeding her a grape.

Princess Wen Yi's innocent smile added a bit of warmth to the slightly dull atmosphere.

Yinxiu noticed that Concubine Nian had come but was not summoned. She leaned over to Cao Qinmo's ear and whispered, "Concubine Nian came all the way here, why didn't the emperor see her?"

Cao Qinmo smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible shrewdness flashing in her eyes. She replied softly, "Concubine Duan has been ill for a long time and Concubine Nian has fallen out of favor for a long time. The emperor had no intention of summoning her today, so why did she come here by herself?"

Hearing this, Yinxiu frowned in worry, "Empress Nian has made a wasted trip. She will definitely be furious when she returns. Your Excellency should go back and take a look first. Perhaps this will help avoid some unnecessary disturbances."

Cao Qinmo shook her head gently, her eyes falling gently on Princess Wen Yi, "She has such a fiery temper, what can I do about it?"

After that, Cao Qinmo slowly stood up, bowed to Yinzhen and Yi Xiuxi, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wen Yi has just changed to a new environment. I am worried that she can't adapt, so I want to take her back first."

Yinzhen turned around and looked at Cao Qinmo and Princess Wen Yi, with a soft light in his eyes. "Okay, Wen Yi is still young and really needs her mother's company. You can take her back. If she needs anything, just let me know."

Cao Qinmo responded gratefully, then took Princess Wen Yi out of the hall and walked towards the Yikun Palace.
