Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
"What about Xiao Yanli? Could it be that this woman also looks exactly like his sweetheart?"
"That... I don't know."
Ji You narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Lingyu's thoughtful expression, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, you are not also interested in this woman, are you?"
He recently read a book that said when a man becomes interested in a woman, that is the beginning of his fall.
The person he is loyal to cannot be someone who only pursues love!
Xiao Lingyu naturally understood what he meant. He laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, sir. Lingyu is just a little curious about how this woman attracted the two princes. If we talk about interest, Jiang Zhiyu is still more interesting to Lingyu."
Especially, why can he hear her thoughts.
When Jiang Zhiyu was mentioned, the counselors couldn't help but nod their heads.
They are also very curious.
How could a woman gain the emperor's appreciation in just a few months, be made the first female official of Tianqi as an exception, and even rise several ranks overnight!
They also want to have such a quick path to promotion and wealth!
Moreover, she dared to print such a bold book right under the nose of His Majesty!
The script of a generation of empress!
Isn't she afraid at all of being reported and charged with disobedience?
If you want to get promoted and make money, you must have a lot of courage. Looking at Jiang Zhiyu's path, he must have more than a dozen courages in his body.
That’s awesome.
"By the way, speaking of her," Ji You raised his head and said, "It was her suggestion that His Majesty appoint the Fifth Prince this time."
Xiao Lingyu blinked lightly. A counselor beside her couldn't wait to say, "Everyone knows about the Fifth Prince and his sister Jiang Sulan. Could it be that he wants to do good to her future brother-in-law?"
"No, it's impossible," Xiao Lingyu retorted directly: "I have talked to her before at the Shangshu Mansion. She will never help Xiao Siyuan."
Since it is absolutely impossible for him to help, why would he recommend Xiao Siyuan in this military battle where he could be said to have handed over the honor without any effort?
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Lingyu's eyes.
This can only mean one thing, the battle with Wala will be difficult.
…
No matter how turbulent the undercurrents were among the princes, once Jiang Zhiyu's books were printed, they quickly monopolized all the storytelling shops in Shengjing with their affordable prices, ups and downs of the plot, high quality and great courage. Even storytellers would insert a few passages from them when telling stories.
The noble ladies in Beijing had long been tired of stories about rich girls eloping with poor scholars. When they first saw this book, they found it strange. After reading it carefully, they gradually had some different thoughts.
It turns out that even women don’t have to be confined to the house. They can also be ambitious, make the sun and the moon shine together, and create a peaceful and prosperous era!
Because of the low price and large quantity, Jiang Zhiyu also instructed that girls from ordinary families could get a copy even if they didn't have to pay, to prevent others in their family from doing harm. Jiang Zhiyu also specifically asked the distributors to tell everyone that someone would come to check the book every once in a while. If the book was damaged or lost, and it was confirmed to be man-made, they would have to pay ten taels of silver as compensation.
Ten taels of silver is not a small amount.
On the other hand, the common people in Shengjing were almost illiterate. In order to prevent them from misunderstanding, Jiang Zhiyu divided the schools into different areas and hired teachers to set a time every day to teach them how to read and read books to them.
Some people even buy several copies at a time, not only to read and collect, but also to stock up. After all, the content of this book is too dangerous. If it is no longer printed one day, they can still sell it at a high price.
At first, not many people were hoarding goods. Later, when more and more copies were printed and there was still a shortage of supply, Hanlin reported it, and Jiang Zhiyu realized that there were still people hoarding goods.
[Goodness, this hoarding instinct is really ingrained in your DNA.]
[Let you earn this money, and don't complain if you make it.]
He Yanting, who had come to visit her specially after hearing that she was printing a book, said: "..."
Stockpiling is not a big deal, but it is not a small deal either. However, they bought too much and the printing couldn't keep up. Moreover, this book is not only for people in Shengjing, but also for the whole Tianqi.
"From now on, anyone who wants to buy a book must register their name, and the book can only be sold to them after verification. Each person is limited to buying two copies."
Jiang Zhiyu said in a calm tone.
On the other hand, this book was so popular that almost everyone in the palace had a copy.
However, due to the content of the book, when people want to discuss it, they can only do so through code.
When serving his masters during the day, he would hide this book.
Although the emperor had always been curious about the books printed by Jiang Zhiyu, he was busy with official duties in recent days and delayed it for a while.
It was not until today when he was free that he suddenly remembered and asked that question.
Fu Ping's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I, I don't know either."
Emperor: “Hmm?”
Fuping was still thinking of getting away with it, but when he saw Chaoen standing on the other side of the emperor, he was suddenly startled.
I have already angered the emperor once last time. If I anger him again this time, this kid will really take my place!
Fuping didn't dare to laugh anymore, and hurriedly took out the book from his chest and presented it to the emperor.
While doing things, he raised his eyebrows at Chao En.
Speaking of which, this guy was really lucky. As soon as the news spread that the emperor was going to send him to serve as a personal servant, several eunuchs under his command rushed to deal with him. They said that he was already dead and was thrown into the pool, but somehow he crawled out again.
Fuping sighed softly.
But it's better that I didn't die, so that the emperor won't be suspicious and suspect that it was me who gave the order. Then he will think that he can't tolerate anyone, which will only cause trouble for himself.
The emperor took it and looked at it. The cover read "Heroine Chang, after waking up, I reached the peak of my life."
emperor:"???"
What the hell?
The emperor frowned and opened the first page. The title was: "The emperor passed away and became a nun."
emperor:"……"
He took a deep breath and flipped through a few pages without reading the contents carefully. The more he read, the deeper his frown became.
When he looked up again, there was even a hint of trance in his eyes.
"I, am I dazzled?"
Fuping shook his head.
"...So, this book is indeed about a woman who ascended the throne to become emperor?"
Fuping nodded.
"Was this book really printed by Zhiyu? Wasn't it a bunch of people from the Hanlin Academy who deceived their superiors and subordinates? And wasn't it a thief who disguised himself as Zhiyu and printed it?"
Fu Ping: "...I guess, maybe, probably, possibly not."
The emperor's grip on the book suddenly tightened, his fingertips turned white, and his grip was so strong that the book was slightly twisted.
Fuping looked distressed.
Be gentle, be gentle,
He didn't know where he lost his previous book, but this one is the new one he bought!
