Ye Xinyan was stunned. What was the emperor doing? How could she, a woman who had lost all her face in the high society of the capital, be mentioned by the emperor during a formal court assembly? Although it was about assigning her a task, was it necessary to discuss it at the Imperial Court?
"Is His Majesty doing this to give face to Sixth Master, or to my grandfather?" Ye Xinyan asked.
Jinrong smiled and said, "Maybe Imperial Father is just giving face to you, Ye Zi?"
Ye Xinyan shook her head, "It's highly unlikely."
She still had some self-awareness; in ancient times, emperors valued scholarly knowledge, which meant a thorough understanding of the classics and history, but they would never regard someone with skills in handicrafts as important.
