Chapter 2448: Chapter 2445: Master Yuanhe’s Inquiry
“I absolutely won’t exhaust myself; if I feel unwell, I’ll stop immediately. Would you supervise me?”
“Since you want to handle it, it won’t help if I stop you. However, I truly need to keep an eye on you. You go ahead and do it; I’ll accompany you,” Ye Muyu said, indeed picking up her belongings to work alongside him.
After being busy for an hour, Ye Muyu had Chu Heng stand up and take a walk.
Ye Muyu’s tasks were few, akin to completing assignments, such as writing books, developing new products, and delegating them to her subordinates for execution. She only needed to manage the decision-making.
The next day.
Chu Heng was once again summoned to the palace.
Meanwhile, Ye Muyu was called to the Empress Dowager’s Palace, where she also met with Master Yuanhe.
The Empress Dowager directly asked Ye Muyu to stay and converse with Master Yuanhe in the grand hall.
“Congratulations, Madam,” Master Yuanhe gently stroked his beard and said with a light smile.
“Thank you, Master Yuanhe, for your assistance.” Ye Muyu’s gratitude was earnest. Without Master Yuanhe’s intervention, Chu Heng might not have returned, having experienced the difficulties firsthand.
Master Yuanhe stroked his beard, smilingly shaking his head, “This was a result of Madam and Lord Chu performing good deeds. ‘Good deeds bring rewards,’ as the saying goes. It’s true. However, ordinary people, though kind to others, often perform insufficient good deeds, and their merits aren’t noticeable.”
The Empress Dowager, intrigued by this, asked, “Listening to Master Yuanhe, I recall Madam Ye’s free school. How is it working?”
“It’s going quite well, though the school’s limited size means it helps only a few. I’m doing my best,” Ye Muyu replied frankly.
The Empress Dowager was touched upon hearing this, “Can I possibly engage in such actions?”
Master Yuanhe understood that the Empress Dowager was questioning him, asking, “Do you mean privately or under your name, Empress Dowager?”
“What difference does it make?”
“There are distinctions, naturally. If the Empress Dowager privately conducts good deeds, the merit is yours personally and won’t affect the Royal Family. If under your name, it represents the Royal Family, and the merit will also protect future generations. Most importantly, it could impact the imperial court.” Only Master Yuanhe dared discuss politics within the harem.
The Empress Dowager understood instantly, “Master Yuanhe, your attention to details is commendable. Without your reminder, I wouldn’t have considered this. I’ll discuss it with the Emperor and then reply to you.”
Master Yuanhe, naturally, wouldn’t refuse.
Ye Muyu did not interject; whether it involved the Royal Family or others, she didn’t concern herself, offering no advice even if she had suggestions.
After conversing for a while, the Empress Dowager tired, prompting Ye Muyu to rise and bid farewell.
Master Yuanhe also followed suit.
Walking side by side with her, he asked, “Madam Ye, are you aware of any anomalies in the imperial harem?”
“Why do you ask, Master Yuanhe?” Ye Muyu raised her eyebrow, stating openly, “I seldom enter the palace, so I’m not familiar with its affairs.”
“I simply thought Madam might have some knowledge. If you’re willing, enlighten me; that itself is a merit,” Master Yuanhe patiently persuaded, unfazed by her refusal.
Ye Muyu gazed at him, “How do you define anomaly, according to the Master?”
“Anything or anyone you find peculiar can be considered,” Master Yuanhe pointed in a direction.
“I know a bit, but I’m unsure if it’s the anomaly Master refers to.”
