Chapter 5.1

No one noticed the Weishali who crawled out from beneath Wang Yiping's feet. Weishali heard the three women's vicious plan. It hissed in anger. It hated that it couldn't bite the three women to death.

You want to hurt my little master?! See how I will take care of you.

Wang Yiping and company's evil plan was quickly known by Zi You. After these days with Weishali, the two were basically able to communicate. Zi You was able to guess Weishali's meaning 80% of the time.

Zi You immediately went to find her grandfather and cutely said, "Grandfather, Taizi already found out that day that granddaughter is forming a female medical team. For the sake of safety and eliminating an excuse for gossip, why don't you go to the Palace and submit a memorial to the Emperor? After all, the slaves were brought from the slave market. Some are relatives of criminal officials. We can't have anyone criticize, right? Grandfather?"

Old General Mu also had this intention. This matter would be known sooner or later. His granddaughter was right. If the censor didn't cause a commotion every day, he would be uncomfortable.

Old General Mu nodded and said gratifyingly, "Our You'er grew up and knows how to share her grandfather's burdens. Not bad, not bad. Grandfather will go to the Palace now and report this matter to the Emperor."

When Old General Mu returned, he did not speak of how he reported it or how the Emperor reacted. Zi You also did not ask. As long as grandfather did not tell her to stop training the females, she would keep on doing it.

On the third day, while Zi You was explaining to the females about human anatomy, people from the Palace came.

Since the Mu YingRui couple couldn't leave their beds, Née Liu could only greet them with Zi You. Coincidentally, they were looking for Zi You. "The Emperor decrees that Great General Mu's Di granddaughter, Mu Zi You, enters the Palace for an audience."

The eunuch announced in a duck-like voice. Zi You sat on a palanquin and was carried into the Imperial Palace. She directly arrived at the throne room the Emperor used to meet officials.

The eunuch opened the palanquin's door. He smiled, "Would Mu Xiaojie please follow this servant?"

"Yes. Please lead the way, gonggong [eunuch]." Zi You faintly felt that the reason the Emperor wanted to see her had something to do with her forming a female medical team. She curtsied and elegantly took light, dignified steps towards the throne room.

Today, Zi You wore an ice-blue, silver-embroidered white mandara flowered dress. A light blue silk girdle with tassels was around her waist.

Her blue-clad back flowed like water. Her posture was straight and her steps were light. Under the autumn sunshine, her whole body emitted faint silver and blue brilliance. She was exquisite, elegant, and peerlessly noble. One felt ashamed of one's inferiority looking at her.

Once she walked into the hall, everyone's eyes involuntarily followed her. The Emperor looked at his officials looking non-stop at a little yatou and helplessly shook his head.

The little yatou was so young, but already peerless in her magnificence and capable of causing the downfall of a nation. Some people didn't have to do a thing since birth and still have a soul-hooking charm.

Zi You bowed. Her voice was as clear and delicate as a yellow warbler out of a valley. "Chennu Mu Zi You pays respects to the Emperor. Wishing Emperor lives tens of thousands of years!"

She wasn't rushed or panicked, but calm and steady. The Emperor thought it was surprising. Worthy of being a military family's Di daughter. Even Zhen's [the imperial "I", how Emperors refer to themselves] daughters are inferior compared to her manner and grace.

"Rise. Lift your head up. Let Zhen take a look." The Emperor's voice was calm and didn't emit any emotion.

Zi You slowly got up. Her posture was elegant and calm. Her reply was neither humble nor assertive. "Chennu doesn't dare. Chennu's appearance is vulgar. Chennu is afraid of startling Emperor."

The Emperor lightly smiled. "Zhen pardons you."

"Yes." Zi You slowly raised her head. The Emperor took a look and was stunned silly.
