“You should stay in the palace and wait for us to come and pick you up.” He smiled and comforted her.
“Yes.” Consort Shu firmly nodded.
Only then did Li Xiao turn around and quickly disappear.
Consort Shu looked at the door and did not move for a long time.
Could she really leave this cage?
At this moment, in the Imperial Garden.
Lin Xiaoyue followed Emperor Yan and headed to a side hall in the Imperial Garden.
Other than Mo Fei and Liang Chengcai, Liu Wuji and the Sixth Princess were also with them.
Along the way, Emperor Yan actually took the initiative to talk to Lin Xiaoyue, interrupting her slightly absent-minded state.
“At such a young age, you have such talent in arithmetic. I’m amazed.”
“Does Madam Li have a family background in arithmetic?”
Not at all.
He received the recommendation from the Imperial Advisor. After he issued the imperial edict, he had sent people to investigate the Lin family.
However, the news he received was that this woman was actually just a farmer’s daughter.
It was also because of this that he did not have much hope for her.
Later, he saw this woman and realized that she looked very similar to the person who caused the Imperial Advisor to leave. Only then did he have some other guesses.
However, he was overthinking things.
Although the Imperial Advisor had acted abnormally many times because of that woman, he was not careless with major issues.
He was now guessing that perhaps the master of the Lin family was the Imperial Advisor.
After all, they had that kind of relationship.
Besides, other than the Imperial Advisor, he could not think of anyone else who could teach such a genius.
Yes, judging from Ms. Lin’s current performance, she could indeed be called a genius.
If she could really make a great contribution on behalf of the Great Yan…
For the sake of the Imperial Advisor, he did not mind turning a blind eye.
After all, although he had done it secretly back then, perhaps he was not completely unaware.
If this continued, he was also worried that the matter would be exposed and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects would be completely severed.
Lin Xiaoyue was called out and quickly came back to her senses. She bowed to Emperor Yan.
“I am born among the common people, and my family farms for a living. We have no background in arithmetic.”
“Oh? Then how did you obtain this ability?” Emperor Yan looked interested, but he glanced at Liu Wuji without batting an eyelid.
How could Liu Wuji not notice Emperor Yan’s actions? He pretended not to know.
When the others heard this, they also looked at Lin Xiaoyue with curious expressions.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “It’s a coincidence. When I was young, I met an old scholar. Master said that I have talent and taught me for some time.”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Liu Wuji.
Old man? Could it be the Imperial Advisor?
A warm smile hung on Liu Wuji’s face. He did not explain to the crowd. Happy to be misunderstood.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan was convinced.
He was a little angry. The Imperial Advisor had clearly found her long ago, but he still kept going out. He even made him think that he had not found her.
After thinking for a while, he restrained his anger.
He was so wary of him. Could it be that he had really discovered something?
Forget it. Since the Imperial Advisor did not fall out with him, he would just pretend not to know.
After all, if he wanted to keep someone by his side, he would also be wary.
Seeing Liu Wuji’s expression, Lin Xiaoyue smiled and did not explain further.
The Imperial Advisor was willing to cover up her lie, so she was naturally happy.
“You’ve only learned it for a while and you’re already so capable. Not bad!” Emperor Yan said to Lin Xiaoyue.
“I previously heard from Prince Anyang that apart from being good at arithmetic, you are also good at business?”
“You have many eateries and workshops.” Of course, this was not what Prince Anyang said, but what he had asked people to investigate.
“I’ve tasted the sausages and bacon that Prince Anyang sent to the capital previously. They taste really good.”
The sausages and cured meat that his son sent back to the capital were indeed delicious. Even he couldn’t forget them after eating them.
Moreover, he only found out recently.
Ever since they tried the sausages and cured meat, the Liang Corporation had actually introduced dishes in their restaurants, drawing in a lot of business for the restaurants.
When everyone heard the words “sausage” and “bacon”, they looked at Lin Xiaoyue in surprise.
These two dishes had become popular among the upper-class people in the capital during this period of time.
Everyone praised the sausages and cured meat of the Ruyi Restaurant. They even talked about eating there.
Even Liu Wuji had heard Liang Chengcai mention this before.
Moreover, he had accompanied his disciple to Ruyi Restaurant for a meal.
“What? Did you also make the sausages and bacon?” The Sixth Princess’ eyes lit up. She suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s arm.
Previously, when her brother sent things back, he had also given her some.
She also liked the taste of sausages and cured meat..
