Yi Zilan didn’t say anything and even agreed.
Yes, he just felt that Gu Yundong was smart and her father was not bad either. When the time came, he would definitely be a great help to the emperor in governing the court.
He was abandoning his personal grudges for the sake of the country. He had a righteous heart.
However, right after that, the Emperor said, "However, there’s still more than a year before the village examination. We have to pass through the open road regarding the magnifying glass."
He thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He said to the eunuch beside him, "Prepare a decree."
Yi Zilan was stunned and looked over in surprise.
Even when the emperor stamped the imperial edict, he was still in a daze.
The magnifying glass had been left behind by the emperor, and Yi Zilan had left the palace. The imperial edict had not been announced yet, so it was not time yet.
After he left the palace, the emperor immediately found the people from the Ministry of Works and got them to study the magnifying glass in front of them.
The manager of the Ministry of Works praised the magnifying glass and looked at it lovingly. Under the emperor’s signal, he nodded excitedly and promised to work overtime to develop it as soon as possible.
Gu Yundong did not know that the Emperor and Yi Zilan were worried sick about giving her a reward.
When she and Shao Qingyuan arrived at their house, it suddenly snowed.
Gu Yundong widened her eyes and looked at the sky, her eyes sparkling.
In her previous life, she had naturally seen snow, but after coming to this world for two years, she had never seen it once.
It was said that it snowed occasionally in Fengkai County, but not often.
Seeing the snowflakes falling from the sky in the capital, she felt as if she were in a snow-white space.
Shao Qingyuan adjusted her cloak. "Let’s go in first."
"Okay." Gu Yundong stepped into the room briskly and suddenly said, "Let’s eat hotpot tonight. We should eat hotpot when it snows."
"Okay."
Shao Qingyuan agreed to her every request.
When they entered, Nanny Xia and the others had already gone back.
Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao and the others to prepare the ingredients while she moved an armchair to the central room. She warmed herself near a brazier and watched the snow.
This sofa was taken from the shop and was first made by Carpenter Pang.
Seeing this, Shao Qingyuan squeezed over.
The two of them squeezed together on the sofa, but they felt exceptionally warm.
The servants were already used to Master and Madam’s sticky appearance. Anyway, they were in their own house, so the servants pretended not to see them.
Gu Yundong snuggled comfortably and leaned her head on Shao Qingyuan’s shoulder. She looked at the snow outside and said, "If Yunshu, Yunke, Yuanzhi, and the others were here, we could build a snowman in the courtyard after a while."
"Bring them over next year. Father can also prepare for the exam in the capital. At that time, you can build a snowman or start a snowball fight."
It was indeed possible to come to the capital.
It wouldn’t be long before Bai Zhiyan’s illness was almost cured. When the time came, they would head to Lingzhou Prefecture to get Bai Muzi and bring their parents over.
It was already November. Calculating the time, she had to wait until spring next year.
This year, they wouldn’t be able to return to Fengkai County for the Spring Festival.
Gu Yundong missed them. She wondered how they were doing now.
She leaned against Shao Qingyuan affectionately.
Not long after, Tong Shuitao’s voice came from the reception hall. It seemed that the ingredients were ready and they could start eating.
Gu Yundong pulled Shao Qingyuan over in a hurry.
As expected, the reception hall was already bustling with activity. The dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes.
