Chapter 89 Qin Yurong is very scared

“…”

“…………”

Cheng Nianying froze there with her eyes wide open. This was a very rare time for her to lose her composure.

Without waiting for her to answer, Fu Yi turned around and ordered, "Go and call over the maid from the daytime."

"yes."

Cheng Nianying saw Qin Yuling at this time, and she called out without thinking: "Yuling."

Qin Yuling immediately stepped forward awkwardly and bowed deeply to Fu Yi: "Brother-in-law."

Then he bowed to Cheng Nianying: "Sister."

Wait till you raise your head...

Fu Yi pinched his fingertips in boredom. This person's face was even redder than his princess's.

Cheng Nianying had already asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Yuling lowered her head again: "They were just about to take me to rest."

Cheng Nianying started to make small talk: "What book did you read today?"

Qin Yuling lowered her head even lower: "...Mo, Mo'e Xiaolu."

It was a book that Cheng Nianying had never heard of, so naturally she couldn't respond.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten it. Someone from the mansion specially brought it to me. Sister, I..." Qin Yuling hesitated.

Fu Yi interrupted, "You've been reading all day and you're tired. Go and take a rest."

Qin Yuling felt as if she had been pardoned, and quickly bowed to the two of them again: "Sister, brother-in-law, I will take my leave first."

Fu Yi smiled and turned around: "He doesn't want to talk to you at all."

Cheng Nianying: "..."

Fu Yi then added, "Maybe it's because he's afraid of me."

Cheng Nianying turned around and walked back without saying a word.

Still angry? Fu Yi followed and whispered, "The Mo'e Xiaolu records various ancient recipes for brewing wine, making incense, and even how to plant crops, how to raise livestock, and how to tell fortunes..."

Cheng Nianying pricked up her ears quietly: "The person who wrote this book is really amazing."

Fu Yi: "Is this considered amazing?"

Cheng Nianying pouted quietly: "Why not?"

"I once compiled the Dacheng Wenxian for Your Majesty..." Fu Yi turned to look at her.

All right. She obviously didn't know what it was.

Fu Yi asked with a smile, "Madam, do you think that editing a book is nothing?"

Cheng Nianying thought so, but couldn't say it out loud. She just turned her head and stared at Fu Yi, her eyes shining in the moonlight.

Fu Yi's pursed lips deepened as he spoke, "I propose to Your Majesty that he oversee the compilation of a monumental work, bringing together classics, history, philosophy, and the myriad books of various schools, as well as covering astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and medicine. Madam, do you know how much of a sensation such a monumental work would cause in future generations if completed?"

A collection of books from hundreds of schools!

Cheng Nianying was stunned.

"Your Majesty is busy, so naturally all the specific matters will be handed over to me. Collecting information takes time, and compiling it takes even more time. During the compilation, I also have to check for omissions and make corrections..."

"The twenty-odd men sent by His Majesty and I were far from enough. Moreover, at that time, most of the court disapproved of my actions."

Fu Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Madam, do you know why it is so difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son?"

Cheng Nianying shook her head.

"Because books are valuable. Most of the rare books handed down from ancient times are kept in the hands of aristocratic families. They control the circulation of books and thus control the path to the throne."

Cheng Nianying completely forgot her previous feelings and replied naturally, "If you want to compile a great work, you must collect all the books in the world. They are unwilling to give you their treasured books... That's why they hate you."

Fu Yi smiled contemptuously: "You are so short-sighted, how can you know the achievements of future generations?"

Cheng Nianying looked at him.

The moonlight seemed to be all over him.

The brilliance is dazzling.

He is very powerful.

It was so amazing that even Cheng Nianying couldn't describe it.

"I have a large collection of books, but Qin Yuling only chose this one book. His ambition may not be in line with the expectations of the Marquis' Mansion. Madam should worry about this." Fu Yi suddenly changed the subject.

But Cheng Nianying didn't know why it was not in line with the expectations of the Marquis' Mansion?

Is it because the books you read are not classics or history?

She turned her face away.

It seemed to be gently held up by a gust of wind.

She was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened and did not speak again.

Qin Yuling went to see Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen asked the same question as Cheng Nianying, asking what books Qin Yuling had read.

After Qin Yuling finished answering, Chu Zhen frowned slightly: "Miscellaneous books..."

Qin Yuling quickly changed the subject: "I just came out and ran into my sister."

Qin Yurong was standing aside. When she heard this, her heart ached. Meeting someone without knowing them was indeed sad. Could she really let others use her identity forever?

Qin Yuling continued, "Sister said she wanted to come see mother and sleep with her."

Chu Zhen's eyelids twitched, and she naturally felt reluctant. It wasn't anything else, but the more lies you tell, the more mistakes you make. Therefore, she had been avoiding meeting him.

"But my brother-in-law stopped him."

Chu Zhen: “…” He gasped.

"I heard from my brother-in-law that...my sister and him, unexpectedly..." Qin Yuling lowered her voice, "have never consummated their marriage."

That's great! Chu Zhen's eyes lit up, and she said, "The prince was seriously ill before, and everyone knew about it. It's not surprising that it's been delayed until today."

"That's right. I'm just worried that my sister and brother-in-law won't get along..." Qin Yuling put away her worried look.

At this time, the servant outside the door knocked lightly: "Sir, have you finished speaking? The prince wants to see the maid from the daytime..."

Chu Zhen was even happier and pushed Qin Yurong: "Go ahead."

…

Qin Yurong was brought to Youhuangyuan in this way.

Why does the prince want to see her?

Did he discover some flaw? Or did he take a fancy to her?

It wasn't uncommon for a mistress to fall in love with a maid. Her father had done it twice.

Qin Yurong walked forward cautiously with a mess of thoughts in her mind.

Nanny Shi and the others turned to look at her, wanting to see what abilities this person possessed and how she was stuffed into the Prince's Mansion.

This look made Qin Yurong even more nervous.

"Come in." The maid opened the door for her.

Qin Yurong stepped inside, only to find a single figure… He had already changed out of his daytime robes for a light blue shirt. The thin shirt accentuated his taller figure.

The speculation almost came true.

"Prince." Qin Yurong called out with forced composure.

"Today, your Marquis' wife said you are good at this. Are you good at making secret medicines? Or are you good at the art of sex?"

Qin Yurong's neck turned red: "I, I..."

Fu Yi's eyes swept over her.

...This must be the real legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.

She is no different from other women in the world.

It's really meaningless.

Qin Yurong was speechless, and Fu Yi did not ask any further questions. However, the silence in the room almost made Qin Yurong faint.

She was getting more and more scared.

The door suddenly opened again.

The maid helped Cheng Nianying in.

Fu Yi raised his face and asked with a smile: "Have you taken a bath?"

Cheng Nianying responded muffledly: "Yeah."

The maid lifted her arms and finally finished the bath.

"Come here." Fu Yi stretched out his hand towards her.

Qin Yurong was dumbfounded.

This is...what is this for?
