Chapter 1072: Greatest Wish is to be a Sponger
Ning Shu had Mu Yao tell Court Lady Qiu what she liked to eat so that the court lady could have the imperial kitchen make the food.
Mu Yao didn’t bother to be polite and ordered what she liked to eat and also ordered what Ning Shu liked to eat.
Ning Shu just watched on from the side. Mu Yao asked Ning Shu, “Imperial Mother, is this alright?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Yes.”
Mu Yao smiled happily, then said to Court Lady Qiu, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Court Lady Qiu.”
“This servant doesn’t dare to accept, this is simply this servant’s duty,” replied Court Lady Qiu hastily.
When Mu Yao saw that Ning Shu seemed tired, she got up from her chair and walked behind Ning Shu to place her hands on Ning Shu’s temples. She slowly massaged Ning Shu’s head as she said, “Imperial Mother, you’re working too hard. You’re feeding so many ministers, so just let them do some of the work. You’re the emperor, you should be relaxing.”
Ning Shu could only say that Mu Yao really was silly. Some things could only be done by the emperor. If the subjects did those things, then it would be rebellious behavior. Some powers must be kept in one’s own hands.
“Imperial Mother, people should just live happily and enjoy life if they can. If a person can be a sponger, they should just be a sponger. This subject daughter’s greatest wish is to just be a sponger,” said Mu Yao in a sincere and lively tone. “People only live once, so Imperial Mother, you should do things that make you happy. For example, this subject daughter likes going shopping and buying things. Imperial Mother, do you know that there are a lot of tasty foods in Daylily Nation? Intoxicated Celestial House’s Osmanthus wine is super fragrant and sweet, and Pastry Record’s sesame flat cake is so crispy and delicious! There’s also pulled candy. Next time this subject daughter will bring one into the palace for you, Imperial Mother...”
Ning Shu: So sleepy...
Ning Shu listened as Mu Yao chattered on nonstop. It was like a lullaby.
During dinner, Mu Yao kept getting food for Ning Shu, then eating happily as if all of these things were amazing delicacies. Seeing Mu Yao enjoy the food so much also made Ning Shu feel a lot more of an appetite.
Ever since she had entered this body, she had felt chest pain and shortness of breath, and she constantly felt very weak. She knew that this was due to eating too many of those pills. A lot of poison had built up inside this body.
Furthermore, she felt a strong urge to eat more of those pills. The original host had taken the pills whenever she felt tired since after taking the pills, she’d instantly feel more alert and energetic. However, in reality, this was just a misleading short-term effect.
It was a vicious cycle.
Ning Shu didn’t plan to eat those pills anymore. Every time she felt irascible, she’d just silently chant the heart-clearing chant. With the effect of the calmness halo added on, it wasn’t too terrible.
After they had dinner, Ning Shu had Mu Yao head back.
“Call an imperial physician. We don’t feel well,” said Ning Shu to Court Lady Qiu.
The moment that Court Lady Qiu heard Ning Shu say that she didn’t feel well, her face filled with worry and she immediately had someone summon an imperial physician.
