In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. During this time, Xie Qi had been immersed in writing day and night, and finally completed the creation of the first volume.
That day, he joyfully pushed open the door to Chu Ye Ze's bedroom and walked in with brisk steps: "My Lord, are you free today? Can you accompany me out of the palace?"
Chu Ye was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully, "Leaving the palace?"
Xie Qi's face was filled with a bright smile. He quickly handed over the manuscript in his hand and said excitedly, "Look, I've finished it."
Chu Ye was a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect Xie Qi to actually write it. He took Xie Qi's manuscript hesitantly and read it carefully.
However, after reading one chapter, he discovered a writing style that was completely different from others. Although the article was not long, every word seemed to exude magic, deeply attracting his attention.
Although the entire story was his own personal experience, Chu Ye couldn't help but immerse himself in it. Every plot and every sentence made him eager to know what Xie Qi thought of him.
Because it was Chu Ye Ze's own story, he finished the whole book very quickly. Just when he saw that the little emperor described by Xie Qi was at his most isolated and helpless, the story suddenly ended there.
"Am I so miserable and pitiful in your eyes?"
Chu Ye didn't really feel much about these experiences, but Xie Qi's description made the little emperor's experience seem extremely tragic.
Xie Qi showed an unfathomable expression and said, "My Lord, you don't understand this, do you? This is a marketing tactic. I want you to have a large group of mother fans. The more miserable the story is, the more they will feel sorry for the little emperor. The more they want the little emperor to have a happy ending."
"Mom fan?"
"This... well, how can I explain it? It's not easy to explain." You can't just say it's maternal love. After all, the male protagonist is the emperor now. Who dares to be the emperor's mother?
Chu Ye, seeing Xie Qi's entangled expression, stopped making things difficult for him and instead changed the subject, asking, "Why is there only the first volume? Do you also think I can't win?"
"Of course not!"
"Look at the prediction I wrote at the end. The second volume is about your path to counterattack, my lord. Although you haven't experienced it yet, your future path will definitely be smooth and successful."
Chu Ye looked at Xie Qi's serious expression, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Maybe as Xie Qi said, everything will be fine?
Afterwards, Chu Ye also agreed to Xie Qi's idea of leaving the palace. But when they actually stepped out of the palace gate, Chu Ye realized that this was the first time he had left the palace since his father passed away.
Chu Ye took off his usual solemn black clothes and put on the clothes that Xie Qi personally picked for him.
After putting on this bright new dress, Chu Ye suddenly became full of energy. Even the guards behind him could not help but sigh that they almost forgot that the current emperor was only eighteen years old and was a young man full of vigor and vitality.
After leaving the palace, Xie Qi went straight to the largest bookstore in the capital without any delay.
Arriving at the door of the bookstore, Xie Qi stopped, turned to look at Chu Ye Ze behind him, and said with a smile: "Master, shall we go in and take a look?"
Chu Ye shook his head and said helplessly: "Once you leave the palace, don't call me master."
"What should we call him then?" Xie Qi blinked and suddenly laughed, "How about A Ze?"
Chu Ye blushed slightly, turned his head away, and said softly, "Call me whatever you want."
Xie Qi smiled even more happily, reached out and held Chu Ye Ze's hand, and strode into the bookstore.
As soon as you step into the bookshop, you are greeted by a rich, bookish aroma. The shelves are filled with a dazzling array of ancient books and new works, leaving you dazzled.
Xie Qi looked around, his sharp eyes noticing the maids and servants frequently coming in and out of the store. He was secretly delighted, knowing that he had found the right place.
This is undoubtedly the place where books are spread most quickly. Chu Ye, who was standing by, also understood Xie Qi's intention. He shook his head helplessly, but still chose to let Xie Qi do what he wanted.
Xie Qi cleared his throat and coughed slightly, successfully attracting the store manager's attention. He leaned lazily against the counter and asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you accept books?"
The store manager raised his head and looked at Xie Qi and the others with scrutiny. He responded calmly, "Booksellers must obey our owner's wishes. Since you are here to sell books, please follow me."
So, the store manager led everyone to the back room. At that moment, Shen Yanyue was sitting leisurely on the soft couch in the room, holding a thick book in her hands and flipping through it boredly.
"Master, someone is here to sell books."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanyue sat up and looked towards Xie Qi and the others, saying with interest, "I was just worrying about not having any books I was interested in reading, and I didn't expect someone to come and sell books."
At this time, Xie Qi also placed the storybook on the table next to Shen Yanyue.
Chen Yanyue carefully examined the storybook in Xie Qi's hand, and saw the ordinary words "Emperor's Counterattack" on the cover.
He was secretly surprised, but he kept a straight face and said, "Sir, you are joking. The emperor is someone you and I can comment on."
"Don't worry, Master. This is a fictional story. It's not about the current emperor, and the Chu State is not mentioned in the story."
Seeing that Shen Yanyue was still hesitating, Xie Qi sighed and said, "Forget it. Since the owner of the shop won't accept it, I'll go to other bookshops to have a look. After all... there will always be people interested in the unofficial history of the royal family."
"etc!"
Shen Yanyue stopped him immediately. He understood that the emperor was already busy with his own affairs, so why would he care about rumors? Besides, the unofficial history of the royal family was indeed quite fascinating.
