Chapter 114 – The Emperor’s Reward

Caution rose from the depths of Ning Xuemo’s heart. She retreated a step, her face still filled with smiles. “Many thanks Your Majesty. Then, could you grant me a few 10,000 taels of gold?”

The Emperor, “……”

‘Is this girl’s head only filled with thoughts of money? Well she is still a child and wouldn’t know what was best for her…’

“Xuemo, gold is a dead thing after all. If you asked for a position instead, wouldn’t objects like gold be there for the taking?” Emperor Le Xuan followed up in an attempt to persuade her.

Could it be that this old Emperor regretted it and wants to arrange another marriage for her? Is he planning on giving her to another prince?

‘No way!’ She wasn’t the least bit interested in any of his stud horse princes…

Ning Xuemo tilted her head and grinned. “Xuemo is still small and doesn’t have any big ambitions so I’m not interested in an official position… Hum, if Your Majesty still feels like you’re not doing enough for me, you can just multiply the gold taels by another few folds…”

Lifting her head to look at the sun, she noted the time being just past noon. The sun’s rays beat down strongly on her head, warming it up. She squinted. Her mouth opened slightly releasing a small yawn, but as if she had just remembered something, she lifted her hand to stifle it. She blinked as she showed an embarrassed expression. “Do pardon me Your Majesty. Xuemo was too tired and lost her manners in front of you. Your Majesty won’t fault me for this right?”

“……” The Emperor didn’t reply immediately. Since they stood in front of so many people, how could he make it hard on a child for this trivial matter?

A dark flash emerged from the depths of his eyes, but he smiled generously. “Of course not. Since you’re tired, you should return to have a good rest.”

“Many thanks Your Majesty. Xuemo will leave now.”

Emperor Le Xuan stood there and watched as her small back gradually drifted further away until it disappeared from his sight.

‘Smart, clever, wise, odd and has amazing medical skills to boot. Although her body hadn’t bloomed yet, she clearly looks like a beauty in the making. If this type of person was left to rot in a common house, it would be too much of a pity!’
