Chapter 264: Gifts

l Buddhist temples on the mountain, and many devout men and women came to offer incense. Because of the crowds, many vendors selling miscellaneous goods also gathered. The vendors attracted even more...The servant girl initially wanted to refuse, but she insisted on giving it to her. The servant girl had no choice but to accept it.

"By the way, remember to tell His Royal Highness that this is a gift from me." Qin Luoyan smiled faintly, her smile adding a touch of captivating beauty under the warmth of the winter sun.

The servant girl responded and, fearing the snow might melt, hurriedly picked up a basket and headed for the palace.

Qin Luoyan stood quietly in the courtyard, watching the maidservant carry away the snowman she had made with her own hands. In her mind, she couldn't help but wonder what expression Fu Zimo would have when he saw it. Would he be pleasantly surprised and admiring, or would he scoff and sneer

However, coming to think of it, this would be too trivial for those nobles who were born superior. He'd probably find it beneath him.

However, reality was different from what Qin Luoyan had imagined.

Mu He was directing people to clear the snow at the main gate of the palace when a young servant ran up, carrying a burden. Mu He was puzzled, then when he heard the servant say that the snowman in the frame was a gift from the concubine to the king, Mu He immediately put down his work and followed the servant straight to the main courtyard.

The little servant had been a servant for so many years, this was the first time he came to Wuxuan Wangfu. He originally thought he would have to go through many obstacles before he could help the concubine wife with this errand. Who would have thought that as soon as the person in charge heard it was from the concubine wife, he personally took him and quickly walked towards the main courtyard.

"Oh dear, you'd better hurry up a bit! What if this snowman melts before we finish"

Mu He walked while urging the little servant, leaving him more and more confused. Wasn't he the one delivering the goods If this snowman melted, it would be his responsibility. Why was the supervisor more anxious than him

However, since the person in charge was so nervous, this snowman must not be an ordinary one. The servant didn't dare to delay any longer, using all his strength and sprinting as fast as he could.

"My Lord, My Lord..." Arriving at the main courtyard, Mu He was panting and wheezing, while the young servant boy was already drenched in sweat, his whole body trembling from the frantic running.

Fu Zi Mo was having breakfast in the hall, but he had little appetite. He looked at the table full of dishes, his brows slightly furrowed. Hearing Mu He's loud clamor, his face darkened even further.

"Mù Hé, do you think this King's recent state is not good, so you won't care about your reckless actions" Fǔ Zǐ Mò's voice was very cold, scaring Mù Hé, who had just entered the room, and nearly tripped.

Mu He put on a wronged expression and said in a mournful voice, "Your Highness, I was just anxious and my voice got a little loud, wasn't it It's not like I committed any wrongdoing, right" To be suddenly accused of such a serious crime would scare the wits out of anyone!

Fu Zi Mo let out a light hum, “You better be able to give me a reason that satisfies this King, otherwise…”

"Oh dear, I almost forgot! Your Highness, come and have a look. This is a gift the Second Madam personally made for you this morning. She cares very much and specifically had this servant deliver it as quickly as possible. Look, he's nearly exhausted!"

"A gift" Fu ZiMo's eyes lit up. He instinctively stood up, then abruptly realized his reaction was a bit excessive, especially in front of his subordinates. So he slowly sank back into his chair and nonchalantly said, "What is it Bring it here for this king to have a look. But I already know she couldn't possibly send anything good."

Mu He's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, "You old man just short of your eyes shining, pretending to be calm, does this make sense Do you really think that all these years she has served you for nothing"

However, Mu He had the heart but not the courage. He didn't dare utter a single word of this. He quickly beckoned to the servant boy, signaling him to come in quickly.

The young servant was a bit nervous. He had never imagined in his life that he would one day see the legendary King Wuxuan himself. Legend had it that King Wuxuan, Fu Zi Mo, killed people like harvesting wheat and even had three heads and six arms. Even children would cry in fear at the sight of him. But... when the servant walked into the study, he saw a man sitting in the main seat whose beauty was otherworldly.

This is the Martial Proclamation King He's different from what I heard! The maidservant was filled with mixed emotions. It was truly thanks to the favor of the side consort that she had a chance to see the living Martial Proclamation King in her lifetime. This would be enough for him to boast about to his family and friends back home for the rest of his life.

"My lord, look! This snowman was made by the madam herself. See, there's a line of small writing on its chest." Mu He began to boastfully introduce the merits of the snowman.

Fu ZiMo’s facial expression remained composed, but the slight tremor in his fingers betrayed his current mood. He slowly stood up, seemingly calm and collected as he walked to the snowmen's basket. Looking at the melting snowmen inside the basket, Fu ZiMo noticed they were quite simple – just carved with a face. The face only had curved eyes and an exaggerated smiling mouth.

A smiling mouth…

Fu Zi Mo's lips twitched, he couldn't hold back his expression and couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

Such a smile made both Mu He and the little maid stare blankly.

Mu He was thinking, is this still the Wang Ye of his family Where was the ruthless aura of a master in this silly appearance

The maid was thinking to herself, it seems the rumors are really unreliable! Look at King Wuxuan, his eyebrows and eyes are so gentle, with a kind expression. There's not even a hint of a murderous demon! It seems those who say King Wuxuan is terrifying are just spreading lies!

"Where's the note" Fu Zimu asked with a smile.

Mu He was startled and quickly tore down the note behind the snowman and handed it to Fu Zi Mo.

Fu Zi Mo picked up the note and saw that it only had one sentence written on it, "Love knows not how to begin, but once begun, it runs deep." He stared blankly at the note. Was she saying that because she cared about him, that's why she was so upset

"Mu He…" Fu Zi Mo's throat tightened, carefully tucking the note away. Then he commanded, "Send this snowman to the ice cellar and store it. Also, find a craftsman to enlarge the ice cellar. Be sure to leave a vacant room to house this snowman. If even a sliver of this snowman melts, you needn't come before me alive."

Mu He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth upon hearing this. It was just a snowman, not that well-made to begin with, and it had to be treated like a Bodhisattva He even had to exaggerate and build a special ice cellar to preserve it

"By the way," Fu Zi Mo turned his head and glanced at the little servant who delivered the snow man, then said, "Go to the warehouse and get him one hundred taels of silver. He did a good job."

Mu He was startled and even more frustrated. He had to go and repair the ice cellar with a heavy heart, risking his life if he failed. This little servant had only transported goods once and received a hundred taels of silver Was this fair He was the steward of the Prince's Mansion! You know that, right
