Chapter 279: It Can't Be Hidden Anymore
These ministers never expected that His Majesty would send Ye Yuwu to the Imperial Study this time!
"You don't need to be nervous. The ministers in the Imperial Study are all my confidants. Just tell us about these weapons."
Everyone was astonished by the emperor's sudden remark.
Ye Yuwu hadn't expected the emperor to bring this up first; his words were far too direct, getting straight to the point.
She now realized that the people present probably already knew her other identity.
She turned her gaze to the ministers beside her, among whom her current superior, the Privy Councilor, gave her an encouraging look.
Ye Yuwu sighed inwardly: It seems that it can no longer be hidden at all.
However, she was quite puzzled as to when these people found out about her online persona.
I used to pretend I didn't know anything in front of her, which now seems a bit embarrassing.
"Which weapon does Your Majesty wish to know about?"
The emperor instantly saw through her feigning ignorance, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and spoke to her.
"Of course, you know that, my dear minister."
After much back and forth, Ye Yuwu was ultimately defeated.
"Your Majesty, all the methods I described are written down in detail in the storybook. I can only write, not do. If there are talented people in Jin Kingdom who can do it, then my painstaking efforts will not have been in vain."
Everyone was stunned when they heard what she said.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yuwu readily admitted that she wrote the storybook.
They thought Ye Yuwu was afraid of attracting trouble, which was why she kept her identity a secret.
Ye Yuwu's statement indirectly shows that he only knows theory but not practice.
This statement is incredibly informative, and everyone is speculating about its veracity. If she really doesn't know how, then how could she write these things?
Meanwhile, the ministers also speculated that she said this in order to discover some talented people, since she couldn't accomplish all of this by herself alone.
If Ye Yuwu knew that they actually had such a suspicion, she would definitely recommend that they read a book called "If you can't lead a team, you can only work yourself to death".
She didn't actually think about anything; she simply couldn't do it, after all, she only wrote novels and storybooks.
The ability to write out these production methods is entirely due to the big data in the search system.
"Minister Ye, you are now a member of the Privy Council. Therefore, this weapons research will be entrusted to you. If you can successfully produce the weapons, I will reward you handsomely! You can choose whatever kind of personnel you need, and just ask for whatever you lack. I will grant you special permission, as long as you can produce the weapons!"
The emperor's words meant that he was giving her power, which shocked everyone.
Ye Yuwu was devastated that after all that talk and going around in circles, she still ended up taking responsibility for the matter. She was on the verge of tears.
However, since the emperor entrusted this task to her, she had no choice but to accept it.
It seems that these few days of doing nothing in the Privy Council are about to see some big moves.
Everyone in the Imperial Study was extremely shrewd, regarding Ye Yuwu as a highly coveted prize.
After leaving the Imperial Study, the Privy Councilor was very pleased, and one could feel that he walked with a gentle breeze.
God knows how long he had been waiting for this day.
Although the emperor established the Privy Council, it lacked real power for a long time, leaving him feeling powerless among the ministers.
Now that he can finally accomplish something great, how could he not be happy? He now sees Ye Yuwu as a divine being descended from the heavens.
Ye Yuwu, on the other hand, was not so happy. She was very worried. After all, she knew that the production of these weapons was based on the search system, and whether these weapons could be produced based on the search system was still debatable.
What's even more incredible is that despite all she said, the emperor actually took the blame for her.
Although it sounds good that there will be a big reward if things go well, it doesn't say what will happen if things fail.
Just as Ye Yuwu was worrying about this matter.
Huaping's pastry shop has opened.
The pastry shop Zhenlangge was immediately surrounded by people when it opened.
The servants who come to the newly opened pastry shop to buy pastries are all former officials from the Three Offices and the Imperial Censorate.
These past few days, Ye Yuwu has been on duty at the Privy Council, and she has also sent pastries to everyone there.
They thought it tasted good, better than the pastries from that other place.
Upon hearing that Lady Ye had opened a pastry shop, they immediately expressed their willingness to support her and sent people to her new shop to boost its popularity.
I decided to buy more pastries to take home for the women in my family.
Let them taste the pastry.
They had tried it at the government office, and it tasted quite good; the women in the family had always enjoyed pastries.
I imagine they'll also like the pastries from Ye Yuwu's Pastry Shop.
Another group of people came to this pastry shop because they heard that the pastries at Zhenlang Pavilion were made from the pastries written in Mr. Wuming's storybooks.
Many people want to taste what the pastries described in the storybooks taste like.
This sponge cake, in particular, is said to be a limited edition! Only one basket is sold each day, so miss it and you're out of luck!
This attracted many book lovers.
As soon as it opened, the pastry shop was packed with people.
Is this egg yolk pastry really from the TV series "The Little Chef of Jinchao"?
"Of course, it's the same method."
"Give me a few, and one of those sponge cakes too."
"Sorry, sir, we're out of sponge cakes!"
"So fast! Okay, then I'll order something else, like this snow skin mooncake!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
Before long, the customer received a piece of oil paper bearing the special mark of Zhenlang Pavilion, with a stamp on it.
When these people returned home with the pastries, they were surprised to find that the pastries also bore the Zhenlang Pavilion's stamp.
In all of Bianjing, only Baiweige does this.
Not only that, the pastries at Zhenlang Pavilion are also delicious.
It was unlike any of the pastries they usually ate, especially this sponge cake.
Just as described in the book, it was delicate and smooth; they never imagined that a pastry could be so soft.
And these egg yolk pastries and mochi have fillings I've never seen before.
After trying it, some people immediately decided that they would give Zhenlangge pastries as gifts from now on.
Not long after, the customer returned for a second visit.
The pastry shop's business suddenly became very good.
The news that these customers went to the newly opened pastry shop to buy pastries quickly reached Baiweizhai, but Baiweizhai did not pay much attention to it at first.
After all, their pastries are sold to prestigious families, and they are beautifully decorated and available for a limited time.
However, the price is relatively high, but the taste is naturally good; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be queuing up in front of the shop every day.
As for the pastries from Zhenlang Pavilion, they didn't care about them at all, since the pastries they sold were not in the same league as theirs.
Who knew that they would be proven wrong so soon afterward.
Before long, the long queues that had been forming in front of their pastry shop all ended up at Zhenlang Pavilion.
It turns out that Zhenlangge has launched gift boxes.
They heard that many people liked to buy their pastries as gifts, so they set about designing exquisite boxes.
This box is not only exquisite, but also contains a hidden secret.
