Chapter 150: Farewell Gift



Chapter 150: Farewell Gift

When I saw Eunuch An and the others had gone to bed, I immediately went to Liu Niang's side.

The lights were still on in the embroidery room, and Liu Niang was leading a few people to assemble sofa cushions and backrests. This time they chose a dark blue and a yellow one.

The dark blue color is for Eunuch An. This color looks dirt-resistant and steady.

The other yellow one was specially made for the emperor.

The sofa cushions were already made and placed aside, with some simple yet delicate patterns embroidered on them. They looked more elegant than the one in my room.

It will take another hour to finish the two sets, and a few people can definitely do it. It doesn't matter if I help or not.

I was no longer in a hurry. I was very nervous that day, but at this moment I felt a little relaxed.

Seeing that I was really tired, Liu Niang urged me to go back and rest. She said she would make sure I did a good job today. If Eunuch An and his men were leaving tomorrow, it would not delay their trip.

So I didn't insist. I planned to go back and rest.

I came to the backyard. Chuqi was still guarding here. When he saw me come in, he picked up the basket with all the food eaten and went back to rest.

Eunuch An drank a little wine last night and got up a little late in the morning, waking up around noon.

After waking up and having breakfast, he told me and Jiangchuan to quickly arrange things at home and go to Weibei as soon as possible.

After saying this, he ordered everyone to get ready and set off immediately back to the capital to report.

I quickly took out the cushions, backrests and sofa covers that I had prepared the previous night and brought them in front of me. I sincerely said to Eunuch An, "We don't have any rare items here, but this is the only thing that can make people feel more comfortable when sitting. I made two sets of them overnight. This set is for Eunuch An. I hope you don't mind it because the other set is for the emperor. I just want you to take it to him as a small gift. I hope the emperor can sit more comfortably when he is tired while handling government affairs."

Eunuch An looked at the sofa pillow in front of him with satisfaction; "You are a good person, and you know how to repay kindness. I will accept it. I will definitely bring it to you as a gift to the emperor."

"Thank you so much, Eunuch An. Thank you for your hard work. I hope you will take care of yourself on your journey!" I replied gratefully.

Eunuch An looked at the cement road surface and the sweet potato field behind the house, and said meaningfully, "There are many rare things in your house! The sweet potato is very good, and the emperor was very impressed after eating it."

I was stunned and didn't react. Wasn't the reward this time just for this sweet potato and this concrete floor? Why did Eunuch An mention it specifically?

Xiu Wen, who was standing by, reacted. "Eunuch An, please wait a moment. I have something else to bring to the Emperor, and I am preparing it."

After that, he called Da Niu and Er Niu and whispered a few words to them. Da Niu and Er Niu left quickly. Watching them pick up their things, he called a few more people and headed straight for the sweet potato field.

"Since it is a gift prepared for the Emperor, it is reasonable to wait a while. I believe the Emperor will be happy about your business."

It's a bit puzzling that he speaks in a roundabout way.

A few people stood beside the carriage, chatting. After a while, Da Niu and Er Niu came over, each carrying a bag of sweet potatoes. They placed the sweet potatoes directly in front of Xiu Wen.

Xiu Wen pointed to the smaller bag and said to Eunuch An, "Eunuch, this is the sweet potato mentioned in the emperor's edict. Eunuch An, please try it. This time, please bring it to the emperor. It will also help the emperor understand the current growth status of the sweet potatoes."

"Okay, okay, okay, in that case, I will take the things with me. I will convey your intentions to His Majesty. We will not stay any longer and set off. I hope you can get the top score in the county exam in August. Go to the Imperial College and see you in the capital."

"Thank you, sir. I will try my best. Please take your time."

"Prince Jiang, I will take my leave now. Leave as soon as possible and don't delay."

"Eunuch An will go first, and I will follow soon."

Eunuch An had the things put on the carriage at the back, and then turned around and got on the carriage in the front.

The Royal Guards waiting on the side also got on their horses one by one. With a shout of "Let's go," the carriage began to move slowly, heading back the way they had come.

We walked faster and faster, and finally only saw a black dot, slowly disappearing on the other side of the mountain.

I stretched and breathed a sigh of relief. Entertaining guests is quite tiring.
