Chapter 22 Liu Mingyue's Thank-You Gift
Chapter 22 Liu Mingyue's Thank-You Gift
While Wu Mingyue and her friends were leisurely strolling around the base, they were unaware that information about her had already been reported.
"Spatial abilities? Is there any record of how large her space is?"
The base leaders were also very happy to see this ability. You see, although the emergence of people with superpowers has given humanity a breather in the apocalypse, there are currently no people with superpowers like space and time. Wu Mingyue is probably the first person with a space ability that they know of.
"Wu Mingyue did not provide specific data, but according to her, her space should be more than enough to hold a truckload of supplies."
"Alright, alright! Make sure she's safe! And remember to ask her if she'd like to do more missions, be nice to her, and don't force her!"
With the order issued from above, everyone knew that Wu Mingyue was now a highly sought-after prize.
This explains why Wu Mingyue and her friends, despite possessing rare superpowers, still wanted to join the base.
In a post-apocalyptic world where order has been lost, their country's army is undoubtedly the most reliable. If she had joined another team, she probably would have been forced to go on missions long ago.
"Please rest assured, I am willing to join the base team and go on missions!" Wu Mingyue looked at the green-uniformed officer in front of her and firmly stated her thoughts.
"Hahaha, ladies, do you think I've been officially hired?"
As expected, no matter which world the Chinese people live in, their ultimate dream is to go ashore (i.e., to live on land). Lin Liuyi is probably the one who understands this feeling the most.
"Yes, absolutely! Congratulations, Xiao Wu! But be careful!"
Grandma Liu and Liu Mingyue realized that their friend had probably gone to work for the government.
Old Mrs. Liu was simply envious. In their area, even a minor official position in the government office would be the envy of all the neighbors. She wished her sons could also enter government service.
Liu Mingyue felt a different kind of envy. She realized that in her friends' world, girls could also work in the government. While she was happy for them, she also felt a sense of longing, but more than anything, she felt regret.
Princess Mingyue kept congratulating Wu Mingyue, but she was also a little envious. In their area, there were no restrictions on men and women joining the army, but unfortunately, as a royal princess, she would have to take over the affairs of the royal family in the future, so she couldn't serve in the army forever.
Yang Mingyue finally managed to escape from farm work and saw the news about her best friend. She was happy for her friend, thinking it was amazing that her good friend had become a member of the People's Liberation Army. However, she was also a little worried about her friend's safety.
"Don't worry, ladies! I'm everyone's darling now, and you're all counting on me to bring back lots of supplies!"
To be honest, after Wu Mingyue went on a few missions with the team, she actually started to like this feeling.
She no longer needed to face those zombies; she only needed to keep loading supplies. She occasionally killed a few zombies because she was afraid she would get rusty.
It feels so good to have someone to rely on. She can even fall asleep on missions now, and she doesn't have to keep herself on edge all the time anymore!
Ah, thank you, country! Thank you, teammates!
As Liu Mingyue watched her friends share their good mood in the group chat, her tense heart eased a little.
Since her father went to the palace, there has been no news about her background.
Sometimes she wondered if she really had no connection with her parents. If the princess's mansion really didn't want to acknowledge her back, she would just buy a small courtyard and live alone.
"Mingyue, someone from the palace has arrived. You will come with me to the palace!"
Just as she was lost in thought about this matter, Liu Mingyue heard her father telling her to go to the palace together.
And so, with a heart full of trepidation, Liu Mingyue followed Lord Liu into the palace.
"And then?" Princess Mingyue asked, still holding grapes in her hand, not forgetting to continue asking about her friend's background.
Lin Liuyi was also waiting anxiously here.
"Then, after my father and I entered the palace, we found that there were many people there. The emperor was sitting on the throne, with the princess and her daughter sitting around him. Madam Liu and Granny Cai were kneeling on the ground. Then the chief eunuch next to the emperor said that they had been investigating and confirming the truth of the matter for some time and had now confirmed that I was the princess's daughter."
"Keep talking, did they acknowledge you back? And what about that fake heiress?" Lin Liuyi asked anxiously, a bad feeling creeping over Liu Mingyue's nonchalant attitude.
“I’ve acknowledged her as my daughter. As for the fake heiress? Just like you wrote, I claimed to the outside world that the princess gave birth to twins, and I was just the one who was lost abroad.”
When Liu Mingyue heard the outcome, she felt utterly devastated; it was inevitable that this would happen.
All her expectations were just wishful thinking. She still remembers the Emperor asking her, "This is all for the sake of the royal family's reputation. The royal family's reputation cannot be compromised. Do you understand?"
At that moment, Liu Mingyue just wanted to swear. Understand? Understand my ass!
But forced by imperial power, what could she say? She could only nod.
Fortunately, the Emperor spared the lives of Marquis Liu and his brothers out of consideration for her.
As for the princess's mother, she was only busy comforting the heartbroken fake heiress and didn't even glance at her.
Fine, she's completely heartbroken. At this moment, she finally understands the feelings of the real heiress in Lin Liuyi's book. Her biological parents don't like her and prefer a fake. Anyone would go crazy in that situation!
"That's it?" Princess Mingyue expressed her incomprehension, wondering why the decision had been made so hastily.
"Give me a hug, my sister, you've been wronged!"
"No, not really. They've compensated me for everything I was entitled to! They gave me the title of Princess, so I'm now Princess Changning. They even bestowed upon me a princess's mansion. It's quite nice to be free now that I don't have to live with my princess mother!"
Despite how lightly Liu Mingyue spoke, Lin Liuyi, an orphan herself, could still sense the disappointment between her words. After all, she was just a minor girl!
Her mother had been indifferent to her since she was a child, and now that she had finally found her biological mother, she was still so indifferent to her. How could she not be sad!
Lin Liuyi didn't know how to comfort her for a moment; it was just so inconvenient to live in different worlds.
"Sister Liu, don't be afraid, you still have us! We are your own sisters. I'll share some more things with you later, see if you can use any of them!"
Lin Liuyi had thought it through. In the ancient world, identity was the most important thing. Liu Mingyue was currently an unfavored princess, and some people might look down on her. Since that was the case, he had to help her establish her sister's identity.
This was an easy task for Lin Liuyi. She quickly shared all the farm tools, hybrid grains, fertilizers, cement, and glass recipes with Liu Mingyue. She arranged everything that a time traveler would need to bring for her sister.
She refused to believe it. With all these things, how could the emperor not value Liu Mingyue? As long as the person with the highest power values her, who else could look down on their own sisters!
Liu Mingyue was deeply moved when she saw what was shared. Although they were all strangers with no blood relation, they supported each other like real sisters.
"That's enough, that's enough for Children's Day. I also have something I want to share with you all!"
As Liu Mingyue spoke, she uploaded the information she had gathered over the past few days to the group. Fortunately, the system had a built-in photo function, so she only needed to click on the information to automatically generate images and upload them to the group. This was something the sisters in the group had taught her.
"This is a unique tribute item here, the shimmering gold brocade. Because it is woven with gold threads, it shines in the sunlight, so it has always been a royal tribute. It's a pity we can't send it to you!" Liu Mingyue also felt a little regretful. In the past, as the daughter of a marquis, she had received some fabrics as a reward.
Now that I'm a princess, these fine fabrics are being sent over in droves, and I must say, it feels pretty good.
Lin Liu took a look and felt that this shimmering gold brocade was somewhat similar to their Yun brocade, which was rich, luxurious, and colorful. However, the shimmering gold brocade that Liu Mingyue wore seemed to be lighter and thinner.
Princess Mingyue was overjoyed; she loved this thing, and her side was desperately in need of it.
"Is this loom so complicated? The people there are amazing!" Princess Mingyue was truly impressed by the ancients, who were able to weave such beautiful fabrics even without advanced machines.
"Liu Mei, how did you get these blueprints? I remember these are confidential in your area, right?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously. In her impression, ancient aristocratic families should have attached great importance to these things, and the workers should have all signed life-or-death contracts.
