Chapter 636
The attendant brought up a tall shelf covered in a red silk cloth. It looked like a screen, but it was especially tall.
Mu Yunyao walked over and lifted the silk cloth. Everyone looked over with rapt attention, and couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.
What she brought was indeed a screen, but this screen was especially tall and big. Its entire body was jade colored and was suffused with a cold radiance, like the color of jade. And what was embroidered on the screen was not an ordinary auspicious design or design, but an exceptionally detailed map.
The map was massive, but the content was very rich. Mountains, rivers, plateaus, and roads were embroidered with different kinds of embroidery lines. Next to it, there were several large characters carved out of the lines — —
"The map of the Great Lei Country!
"
The emperor couldn't help but to stand up and walk down the steps. He absentmindedly looked at the map in front of him and said,
"Yunyao, this map ….
" The Dai Dynasty was vast and ordinary people didn't even know how many prefectures there were in total, not to mention the various topographic maps. Mu Yunyao's face carried a smile,
"Reporting to your majesty, this gift has been prepared for over a year already. It was prepared by Your Highness King Yue for me, asking for guidance from people who specialize in river works, water conservancy, and mountain activities. I also looked through a large number of books and records.
"He Qing, use this annual feast to present this map of the territories, I hope that our country, Yongning, will have a good life for the emperor!
"
The officials quickly stood up and said in unison,
"May the nation of Yongning be blessed with good fortune and good health, Your Majesty!
"
The emperor stood in front of the map and looked at the vast expanse of land of the Da Lei Empire. Yao'er, you've really troubled yourself.
"
King Yu took the opportunity to praise her,
"Yunyao even said that she can't take out her gift. If she can't even take out a gift like that, then I can just throw them on the streets.
"
The Emperor nodded, then looked at Mu Yunyao with even more satisfaction.
"Yunyao, I want to properly reward you. If you have anything you want, just say it directly.
"
"Your majesty, I'm going to get married on the eighteenth day of the first month. Since you asked for a reward, then I won't be polite. I'll ask for more gold and silver pearl jade for my dowry!
"
Mu Yunyao spoke bluntly, her cheeks slightly red. With pure joy, the Emperor couldn't help but laugh.
"I've heard that your grandmother opened her own storehouse for you to move. Why, are you bringing along a mountain of gold and silver to marry Jun Yue?
" At the side, it was rare for King Yu to divert his attention away from Min Fang Hua. Thinking back to the silver that Mu Yunyao had earned in a year that King Yue had mentioned, he couldn't help but nod in his heart: Mu Yunyao doesn't bring a silver mountain, she herself has a silver mountain! Furthermore, it was a gold that couldn't be seen at first glance …
Silver Mountain!
Mu Yunyao's face turned even redder.
"Your majesty, dowry isn't too much. Only if the dowry is generous can the husband not bully you.
"
"Don't worry, if Jun Yu dares to bully you, forget about your grandmother, I will be the first one to disagree.
" This gift was too fitting for his taste. Looking at Mu Yunyao's smiling appearance, he couldn't help but feel regret that he didn't have such a obedient daughter. However, this wasn't bad at the moment.
A delicate little girl had become his daughter-in-law.
The faces of the envoys from the northern border stiffened. After enduring for a while, they could not help but ask:
"Greetings, Princess Wen Xian. I have a question, may I ask the princess?
"
Mu Yunyao turned to look at the envoy from the northern border who had just spoken, her expression cold and distant.
"I wonder what Sir envoy has to ask?
"
"I saw a corner of the map just now. It also seems to depict the terrain of the Northern Frontier. However, the location on the screen is limited so I can't complete the map of the Northern Frontier.
"
Mu Yunyao's gaze was pure, as if she didn't understand why the hour at the northern border had asked this.
"I've sent the imperial palace a map of the country, so it's natural that I'll engrave the territory of the imperial court. If you want me to embroider the territory up to the northern border, you'll have to ask the imperial emperor for help.
"
The surrounding officials chuckled.
Princess Wen Xian's words were very good. Embedding the Northern Frontier into our territory meant that the Northern Frontier had to submit to us. Moreover, you have to request for your allegiance, and you also have to see what the Emperor has in mind.
The envoy from the northern border had a cold look on his face,
"The northern border does not belong to the Great Auland Empire. Of course, that is not what I mean...
"
Mu Yunyao's gaze turned even more doubtful,
"Then what did you want to ask me just now?
"
"Princess Wen Xian, on the map just now, there was a corner of the border between the Northern Frontier and the Dali district. I saw that the map was also very detailed …
" When he saw that the map had even clearly marked the branch of a small river in the northern border, he could not help but be astonished. He speculated that the Dai Li Dynasty only grasped the topography of the border region, or did they know the topography of the entire northern border?
If it was the former, then it was basically just a bluff and nothing bad would happen, but if it was the latter, then it would make people's hair stand on end.
During the battle between the two countries, one had to rely on the time between the heavens and the earth to set up the formation. As the two countries engaged in battle, the time between the heavens and the earth to set up the formation relied on the time between the earth and the man. The Northern Frontier and the Great Desolate Empire fought for a few times, so why did they end up in such a stalemate? It was because the highlands and mountains obstructed the border between the two countries. No matter which side they were on, it was easier to defend than to attack.
The map of the Northern Frontier was like opening his own Heaven's Eyes. A butcher's knife was hanging over his head. Mu Yunyao creased her eyebrows, indicating the maid at the side to cover the map with red silk.
"So it's the map that I embroidered that makes the envoy dislike me. I didn't think too much of it, but I looked at the map of the Great Desolate Province in detail, and in order to pursue completeness and beauty, I also embroidered the map of the northern border in detail.
"If not, the northern border will be a bit emptier. The embroidery is the same as the painting; it's about leaving a mark. However, leaving a mark will make it difficult to look at a certain corner.
"
When the envoy of the Northern Frontier Tribe heard this, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. Who asked about embroidery?
A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes as he said,
"Yao`er's thoughts are indeed ingenious. Someone, bring this map of the territory to my Treasure Pavilion. Send out heavy manpower to prevent anyone from getting close.
"
"Yes.
"
"Yao'er, we have collected quite a few precious jade pearls in recent years. After the banquet has ended, we will have someone clean up and bring a few boxes over to you.
"
Mu Yunyao was overjoyed and immediately kneeled to express her thanks,
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live the Emperor.
"
"Stand up, let the banquet continue.
"
