Chapter 511 Yun Qingluo meets Mu Zhi and invites her to dinner
"I agree with your idea of opening a girls' school, but the teachers have to be carefully selected." Xuan Ming continued to give Mu Zhi surprises.
Mu Zhi didn't expect to gain so much today.
When she brought up this matter, she had already prepared herself for being rejected, thinking that even if it failed, at least she had said it out loud, which was already a successful step.
But she never expected that Xuan Ming would agree directly and even support her in doing so.
Mu Zhi excitedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will do a good job of this. I will never embarrass you, nor will I disappoint my father and mother. I will personally select the teachers. There may be male teachers in the early stage, but after the first batch of students finish their studies, the women's school will welcome female teachers."
Mu Zhi got so excited when she thought of that scene.
Xuan Ming looked at Mu Zhi's excited expression and couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her.
"Okay, I'll feel at ease leaving it to you. If you want to leave the palace, you can go directly, but you must remember to bring more people with you." Xuan Ming said with a smile.
Mu Zhi was startled by this sudden kiss. She stood in Xuan Ming's arms for a moment, her eyes full of confusion.
Xuan Ming chuckled, "Silly girl, are you so happy?"
Mu Zhi reacted and blushed immediately. Why was she so infatuated just now?
Mu Zhi quickly pushed Xuan Ming away, stood up, and turned her back to Xuan Ming, saying in an uncomfortable tone, "Well, you, as long as you agree, I'll leave first, you, come back early when you're done."
Xuan Ming has always been resting in Mu Zhi Palace, so Mu Zhi often says this.
This time, after she finished speaking, she walked out quickly without waiting for Xuan Ming to answer.
The magpie at the door saw Mu Zhi coming out, a smile of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly went to greet her: "Greetings, Madam, you are out."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Mu Zhi, and she suddenly exclaimed, with a look of surprise on her face: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
She reached out to touch Mu Zhi's forehead, "Should I ask an imperial physician to come and see you?"
Mu Zhi slapped Xi Que's hand away somewhat embarrassedly and glared at her coquettishly: "I am fine, there is nothing wrong with me."
Seeing that Mu Zhi was not angry but rather a little shy, Xi Que immediately understood and said jokingly, "Oh, I understand. So that's how it is."
Mu Zhi was made even more shy by Xi Que's words. She couldn't help but hit Xi Que lightly and said angrily, "You little girl, you only know how to tease me. I'll punish you if I can't."
However, Xi Que didn't care and still said with a smile: "I'm not afraid. I'm just happy for the Queen. The Emperor and the Queen have such a good relationship, and I'm also benefiting from it." After saying that, she blinked mischievously, making Mu Zhi couldn't help laughing.
This is indeed the truth. Xuan Ming loved the magpie so much that he rewarded the magpie with a lot of gold and silver.
In the past two days, Mu Zhi has been preparing money and busy with disaster relief work outside the city.
She planned to go to the city gate after the army set out.
The day before the army set out, Mu Zhi was a little surprised to hear that Yun Qingluo wanted to see her.
The person who came to deliver the message was Yunying.
At this moment, Yunying was standing at the door of the Queen's palace. The door curtain was lifted and Mu Zhi walked out.
Mu Zhi looked at Yun Ying, her tone was a little doubtful, "Did she say what it was for?"
Yun Ying replied with a look of respect on her face, "My master said that she invited you to Luochen Pavilion for a chat in her capacity as the head of the Divine Doctor Valley. She didn't reveal the details. She said that you would understand when you heard the reason why she wanted to see you this time."
Yun Ying didn't understand why Yun Qingluo was playing cryptic games, but she thought that she must have her own intentions.
After hearing Yunying's words, Mu Zhi looked at Xi Que in surprise and saw that Xi Que also looked confused.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, and when she thought about what she had done in the past two days, she understood a little bit.
She looked happy, "I didn't expect that she would be helpful. I'll go change my clothes and leave right away."
They are going to the Holy Dome Continent tomorrow, so they can only meet now.
Yun Qingluo got up early in the morning and started working in the kitchen.
Yun Jin followed Yun Qingluo and helped.
Yun Qingluo didn’t know Mu Zhi’s taste, so she could only prepare a shabu-shabu pot.
That’s right, she planned to treat Mu Zhi to hotpot.
She had not originally planned to do so, but these past two days she heard Mo Beichen talking about Mu Zhi, especially when she heard that Mu Zhi was planning to build a girls' school, she was very shocked.
She felt that it was very necessary for her to meet Mu Zhi, who must be an underestimated woman.
"At first, I also thought that this girl was love-brained. She worked hard for more than ten years just for a man, and became excellent just for Xuan Ming. I thought there was no hope for her, but I didn't expect that she actually had this awareness. Women should study instead of living by clinging to men and families. This is a very beautiful statement, and it has a little bit of the flavor of our new-age women." Xiaoyi was in the system, chewing a bag of potato chips and chatting with Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo discovered that Xiaoyi seemed to talk more since he became half-human.
Occasionally she could feel Xiaoyi's loneliness, because Xiaoyi could only talk to her. Occasionally, when Mo Beichen entered the system, she could also chat with Mo Beichen, but not with other people.
She and Mo Beichen were busy, so Xiaoyi was left alone.
Yun Qingluo suddenly asked Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, when will your system be upgraded?"
"I don't know. There is no warning for the time being. What happened? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Xiaoyi wondered.
Yun Qingluo sighed, "I was thinking that if you could finish upgrading before we return to Xumi Continent, and if you could come out of the system, I could take you to Xuancang Capital for a tour and experience the local customs and practices. Then I could take you home with a clear conscience."
"As for your identity, I have already thought about it. You are the brother I picked up, and my parents are your parents."
She actually thought about making Xiaoyi her godson, but Mo Beichen was the first one to disagree. Considering Xiaoyi's temper, he probably wouldn't agree, so only the identity of younger brother was suitable.
After hearing what Yun Qingluo said, Xiaoyi was silent for a while before saying, "You, you actually thought so much."
Yun Qingluo heard that Xiaoyi's tone was not right, so she found an excuse to send Yun Jin away.
Then he immediately entered the system and saw Xiaoyi looking at him with red eyes.
Foolishly asked, "Will you really take me, take me home?"
Yun Qingluo walked over with a smile and rubbed Xiaoyi's head. "I can't keep you in the system forever. In a year or two, you will eat up all my stocks. By then, I will be left with nothing."
Xiao Yi snorted coldly, turned his head away, and escaped from Yun Qingluo's palm, saying coldly, "I knew you weren't that kind, humph, I reluctantly allowed you to put this food in, so I should have had my share."
Yun Qingluo heard Xiaoyi's arrogant tone and quickly coaxed him, "Okay, I was just kidding. From modern times to ancient times, we have fought side by side and have long been family. Now that you can become a human, I am very happy. I have been thinking about your identity for a long time. I am just informing you today."
"Of course, if you don't want to be my brother, you can tell me what identity you want, and I will ask Mo Beichen for help." Yun Qingluo rubbed Xiaoyi's head.
She added, "If you are willing to be my brother, I will take you home and let you recognize your ancestors and be included in the family tree."
In fact, she was still uncertain in her heart, that is, whether Xiaoyi would always look like this or grow up. This was a hidden danger. Even if she asked Xiaoyi, it was estimated that he himself would not know the answer, so she did not say it.
We’ll see when the time comes. If it doesn’t work, just fake a death and change your identity.
Xiaoyi's voice was a little sobbing, "Then I will reluctantly be your little brother. Thank you."
Xiaoyi said this proudly and added a thank you.
Yun Qingluo chuckled, what a tsundere guy.
"Well, you look like you are ten years old now, so just count as ten. As for your birthday, it will be the day you became a human. Oops, I forgot what day it was." Yun Qingluo looked at Xiaoyi's appearance and estimated Xiaoyi's age and birthday.
Xiao Qie said softly, "I knew you didn't care about me."
Yun Qingluo smiled secretly, "Don't worry, of course I remember it, you will know it on your birthday next year."
"But then again, you still can't leave the system now?" Yun Qingluo changed the subject.
"Forget it. We still have to go to the Holy Dome Continent anyway, so there's no rush. You can slowly find a solution. I'll go out first. Yun Jin is back." Yun Qingluo said and immediately slipped out.
The next second, Yun Jin pushed the door open and came in.
"Madam, take a look, is this the little tomato? I met Commander Feng, and he pointed me in the direction. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known that there were so many vegetables and medicinal herbs planted in the backyard. There are really too many.
However, this season is not the season for vegetables to mature. That white shed is really magical. The vegetables grown in it are so fresh. Madam, are they all ours?" Yun Jin held the basket in front of Yun Qingluo and asked Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"Well, those are all ours. As long as we create a suitable environment, we can grow fruits and vegetables. But I'm too lazy, so I only planted some fresh fruits and vegetables. When we return to Xumi Continent, I will slowly teach you how to plant them. Then you can follow Yun Tao, Yun Xin and the others and plant together." Yun Qingluo took the basket.
She glanced at the cherry tomatoes and praised Yun Jin, "Not bad, the ones we picked are all ripe, just right for cooking today."
She plans to use this cherry tomato to pair with steak.
The wine she gave Mu Zhi that day was red wine.
So today's dinner is hotpot, and for lunch I will take Mu Zhi to experience the feeling of steak and red wine.
Mo Beichen came back late today, so she had time to chat with Mu Zhi.
"Okay, I will definitely study hard and grow such fresh fruits and vegetables." Yun Jin was very excited when she heard that Yun Qingluo would take her with him when she returned to Xumi Continent.
She must have done good deeds in her previous life, which is why she met such a good master in this life.
"I'll go wash the vegetables." Yun Jin calmed down and started working immediately.
Yun Qingluo looked at Yun Jin who had transformed into a busy little top and silently said, "Silly girl" in her heart.
When Mu Zhi arrived, Yun Qingluo had just set up lunch in the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Today's conversation will take place in the pavilion.
When Mu Zhi walked into the pavilion, Yun Qingluo stood up, thinking that they were now in someone else's dynasty and should bow.
Before she could bend her knees, Mu Zhi stopped her.
"You and I are both queens, and our status are equal. There is no need for formalities. Besides, you invited me today as the master of the Divine Doctor Valley of Xumi Continent, and I accepted the invitation as the legitimate daughter of the Mu family. Let's forget about these empty formalities." Mu Zhi took Yun Qingluo's hand and walked to the table.
"You and I should just call each other by our first names, so we can be more comfortable. Wow, this is so exquisite. What is it? What is this winding vessel?" Mu Zhi looked at the pile of utensils on the table that she had never seen before, with a look of deep curiosity on her face.
Seeing that Mu Zhi was not particular about details, Yun Qingluo smiled cheerfully and introduced them to her one by one, "This is a goblet, specially used for drinking red wine, and this is a decanter, which means that you can't drink this red wine directly after opening it. It won't taste good if you drink it directly, you need to let it decant for a while first."
"Is this what we're having for lunch today? So unique." At Yun Qingluo's suggestion, Mu Zhi sat down across the table.
The table was covered with a light-colored tablecloth.
There was a plate in front of each of her and Yun Qingluo. On the plate was a piece of meat and some noodles, with fruits of different colors as decorations on the sides. It was indeed very unique.
Next to the plate were a knife and fork, as well as a pair of golden chopsticks. Next to them were the two goblets that Yun Qingluo had just mentioned.
"I don't know if you are used to eating this, so let's try it first." Yun Qingluo picked up the knife and fork in advance, put them on the meat in slow motion, cut off a small chopstick of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed, then picked up the red wine, took a small sip, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
Mu Zhi had already seen Yun Qingluo's gesture just now. She knew that Yun Qingluo did not teach her explicitly just now because she was considering her feelings, and her good impression of her increased a little bit.
She imitated Yun Qingluo, taking the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right hand, and started cutting the meat. She thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, she cut off a piece of meat very easily.
She was shocked. What kind of knife was this? How could it be so sharp?
She didn't show any emotion on her face. She put the meat into her mouth, and a strange taste bloomed in her mouth. It was a little spicy but not too spicy. She couldn't help chewing it for a few times. After swallowing the beef, she took a sip of the red wine. Suddenly, an indescribable wonderful feeling filled her body.
She cut another piece of beef and put it in her mouth. This time the taste was completely different.
Strangely, after taking a sip of wine and then eating the meat, the taste became even better.
What a strange combination, very delicious.
Yun Qingluo opened her eyes at this time and looked at Mu Zhi with a smile, "Are you satisfied with the taste?"
Mu Zhi's eyes sparkled, and she nodded repeatedly, "This is the first time I've eaten beef with this flavor, and also the first, oh no, it's the second time I've drunk wine with this flavor. It's obviously the same wine, and it's also paired with beef, but the taste is completely different. Today's is better."
