It's been many years since I've seen anyone openly flirt with Xie Liwei, and he's even wearing a mask, so how can you tell he's handsome?
Song Yaozhu, who was sitting in the main seat, was also surprised. What a straightforward girl, she said whatever came to mind.
Granny Yu glared at the girl and said apologetically, "I'm just a country bumpkin, I'm used to speaking my mind. Please forgive me, Your Highness and Your Highness!"
The girls then realized that the tall, elegant man wearing a jade crown was none other than the Carefree Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The crowd bowed and whispered among themselves, seemingly curious as to why he was wearing a half-silver mask.
Xie Liwei, the person being discussed, was quite embarrassed. He simply nodded to Granny Yu, whispered a few words to Song Yaozhu, and left.
The girl who had just praised his good looks felt quite sorry for him.
"The prince's skeleton is so beautiful. I wish I could have it made into a decorative piece."
Song Yaozhu: "......"
So when you said "handsome," you meant his bones. Thank you on behalf of his bones.
Granny Yu glared at her again and said, "Cao Yun, don't be rude!"
He then explained to Song Yaozhu, "Cao Yun has studied medicine since childhood and has a deep understanding of the human body. She also enjoys tinkering with the bones of various creatures. Please forgive her, Your Highness."
The fear is that the princess is petty and might think Cao Yun has harbored inappropriate thoughts, thus making the princess hold a grudge and then get rid of her.
Song Yaozhu waved her hand, quite surprised: "Miss Cao is proficient in medicine?"
There are very few women in this world who study medicine, let alone become proficient in it.
"I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I know about 70-80% of it."
Wow, that's quite an impressive smell.
Song Yaozhu asked the others, and to her surprise, among these girls, some knew martial arts, some could write poetry, and some were skilled in calligraphy, painting, and chess, which broadened her horizons.
By the time she finished greeting everyone, it was already evening. She arranged accommodations for them and promised to give them her full support so they could think about what they wanted to do.
Granny Yu simply couldn't understand what this princess was trying to do. Aside from parents, who else would selflessly support others without expecting anything in return? She's not some living saint!
So he could only brace himself and wait until he saw Cao Zhi to give him a good scolding!
Song Yaozhu lay wearily on the chaise lounge, letting Caiyin massage her.
Xie Liwei sat to the side, complaining, "Can't you find another place?"
He was exhausted after a long day and wanted to lie down and go to bed, but she was still occupying his bed.
"I'm so tired!" Song Yaozhu sighed, her heart heavy with worry about the arrangements for the girls. If anyone was willing to stay, she would definitely ensure their safety. But now, the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion was in the midst of a storm...
Suddenly, I regretted my impulsive decision to invite them over.
Seeing her distress, Xie Liwei thought for a moment and said, "You can let them play with Yongle."
Song Yaozhu turned to look at him, "Is the situation of the Prince Xuan's mansion better than ours?"
King Xuan was still trembling with fear.
“You can say that those women were the teachers you found for Yongle, at least the dog emperor won’t take such a trivial matter to heart.”
Indeed, if the dog emperor knew that he had personally brought these women, he would probably think that the Carefree Prince's Mansion was up to no good!
After careful consideration, Xie Liwei's suggestion seemed feasible. So, in a moment of compassion, she returned the chaise longue to him!
The next morning, Song Yaozhu had just finished practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade when a commotion broke out in the front yard.
Qin Yu came to Xie Liwei in a state of utter confusion. The fact that he was appointed head steward of the Prince's mansion at such a young age showed that he was quite capable. However, he couldn't handle the Prince's advisors!
Xie Liwei was having breakfast when Qin Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "The group of girls that the Princess Consort invited saw that the front yard was spacious and started practicing there early in the morning. They disturbed the gentlemen in the front yard, who are all night owls and only go to bed at dawn. They couldn't stand their noise, so the two sides started arguing."
Xie Liwei didn't believe that Qin Yu couldn't handle such a small argument. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Those girls are probably loyal readers of Mr. Peach Blossom. Mr. Ji had only said a few curses when they deduced that he was Mr. Peach Blossom. Mr. Ji was so frightened that he tried to run away on the spot, but the girls grabbed him and forced him to rewrite the ending of 'The Wedding Banquet' with paper and pen."
Xie Liwei almost choked on his porridge.
Ji Ming stayed up all night, only to have readers break into his home and force him to rewrite the ending of the book! This is a truly tragic situation!
Xie Liwei still spoke up for Ji Ming indignantly: "They're still young girls, how can they read books written by Ji Ming! How can the people at the publishing house do their job? Isn't this an insult to those women's eyes!"
The main problem is that Ji Ming's writing is too crude and not suitable for girls to read!
Xie Liwei began to ponder whether he should ask Ji Ming to take on a few female disciples.
"The person was invited back by the Princess. You should consult the Princess on how to handle this matter."
After hearing the whole story, Song Yaozhu fell into a deep silence.
Seeing her silence, Qin Yu assumed that the princess also found the matter difficult, and became even more anxious.
Suddenly, the princess said, "I also think the ending of 'The Wedding Banquet' is not good. It would be good if he could revise it. Have the kitchen prepare some nourishing soup for Mr. Ji. We can't let him get tired!"
Ever since she learned that Mr. Ji earned three-tenths of the Wang family's income, she had deeply admired him. There was also Mr. Lan, who drew fire-prevention diagrams, and Mr. Wang, who made private crafts...
Putting everything else aside, this industry is really lucrative!
Upon further reflection, Xie Liwei dared not engage in legitimate business, resorting to these methods to make money. He had truly been driven to the brink by this treacherous emperor! I'm furious!
The girls made a ruckus until noon, then all came to find Song Yaozhu, expressing their desire to stay in the capital.
"I never imagined that Mr. Peach Blossom, whom I've always admired, would be in the Prince's mansion! I must stay here so I can see his new book as soon as possible!"
"Me too! Me too!"
Song Yaozhu never expected that she would recruit talent through this...
Well... in some ways, it's similar.
Song Yaozhu started thinking about how to accommodate so many girls. It was definitely not feasible to have them all live in the backyard of the Prince's mansion. After all, Xie Liwei had a bad reputation. It was fine for them to stay for a few days, but if they stayed for a long time, it would affect their reputation.
So she called over Granny Yu to discuss buying a house outside.
Unfortunately, they all insisted on living with Ji Ming, which earned them a severe scolding from Granny Yu.
Before leaving, Granny Yu still subtly expressed her hope that Mr. Ji would listen more to the readers' feedback, as some of his manuscripts were indeed not quite satisfactory to the readers.
Song Yaozhu: "......"
Excellent, excellent! Mr. Ji is truly a treasure trove. He's a perfect husband and wife! Not only can he make money, but he can also create public opinion and attract talented and righteous people.
"Granny, please have Qin Yu tell Mr. Ji that I'll give him a raise!"
Granny Qin: "..."
Can you guys please stop being so ridiculous?
