You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?
Chapter 61 – I want to bask in more than just my elder sister's glory

Although it was already night, the busiest street in Jiangcheng was still brightly lit.

Ying Wuji lay in the backyard, looking up at the sky, feeling the long-lost light pollution and feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

He used to think that all the bustle belonged to others, and he had nothing.

Now he had finally joined this restless prosperity.

Comfortable!

"Wuji!"

Hua Chao's gentle voice sounded beside him.

Ying Wuji turned his head and saw her clear smile, which was genuinely happy.

And, a beauty is a beauty, even from this angle of death, she could not find any flaws.

He smiled and asked, "How's business in the store?"

Hua Chao sat beside him, pursed her lips and smiled, "Business is very good. 'The Beheading of Beauty' has been sold out, and many people are urging us to restock. 'Strange Tales of Liaozhai' has also been sold out. Customers are all praising Lanling Sheng's writing skills, compared to the first two volumes, which were simply unreadable. It should be sold out soon."

"Great!"

Ying Wuji sat up, his body slightly leaning against her shoulder, feeling a faint fragrance occasionally entering his nostrils, feeling refreshed.

The popularity of 'Strange Tales of Liaozhai' was expected.

After all, in his past life, he had also been trapped by 'Those Things in the Qing Dynasty', 'The Sequel to Starry Sky', and 'Transformers'. Not to mention these fish-lipped ancient people?

Although the two of them were slightly intimate, Hua Chao did not reject it, but frowned slightly and said, "I saw Ji Su buy a copy of our book each and left angrily. Will he try to harm us?"

"Look at what you're saying. When has he ever benefited us?"

"That's true..."

Ying Wuji laughed, "Hua Chao Jie, how did it feel to sing on stage today?"

"Of course it was great!"

Hua Chao was rare and lively. At this moment, she was different from her usual gentle appearance, more like a little girl who had received a gift.

She looked at Ying Wuji sideways, "I originally thought that it might take a long time before I could sing the first play, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. I have to thank you for that!"

The opera was her mother's unfinished wish and her spiritual sustenance. Today, taking the first step was unexpectedly smooth, and she was genuinely happy.

She originally thought that Ying Wuji would only help her after the bookstore had returned to normal, but she didn't expect that he would be thinking about her all the time. It was truly touching.

Ying Wuji asked again, "What about your singer friends? I heard they were causing trouble."

Hua Chao smiled and waved her hand, "At first, they were a bit reluctant, but after I offered a price, there was no problem. After today's performance, they took the initiative to ask to join my opera troupe. I don't think they will want to quit in the future!"

"That's good!"

Seeing her so happy, Ying Wuji also felt a sense of happiness in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "After the bookstore stabilizes, leave the business to Aqiang. Opera has just been born and its vitality is probably stronger than poetry. There is great potential in this field. Hua Chao Jie, you have to work hard. Whether I can hang my official plaque in Zhoule Mansion depends on you!"Hua Chao lightly scolded: "Clearly, your contribution is greater, but you make it sound like you're just riding on your sister's coattails! The books in the store are almost sold out, I'll go organize the accounts!"

"Okay! Don't tire yourself out!"

Ying Wuji watched her swaying figure and couldn't help but have some wandering thoughts. He wanted more than just his sister's success...

"Young master!"

Bai Zhi's voice exploded in his ear.

Ying Wuji was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Bai Zhi stuttered, "Young master! I can also do accounting. Why don't you give me the bookstore's accounts? I've been following you around all day, and I feel so useless just eating and drinking!"

It turned out she was anxious.

Ying Wuji smiled, "You're my personal maid, just focus on taking care of and protecting me. Why get involved in accounting, which is tiring?"

"Then, what should I do..."

"Okay! Take this!"

Ying Wuji directly threw her a piece of jade pendant.

Bai Zhi was surprised, "New Qianyu?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "You can wear it to cultivate in the future, and I'll teach you a high-level spell later. If you can master it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation, and it's not impossible to reach the first-rank spirit fetus in the future."

This high-level spell was naturally "Tiangang Thirty-Six Techniques: Fetus Transformation." This spell allowed the body to return to its original state to the greatest extent possible, and it was one of the few spells that directly affected cultivation.

Bai Zhi was already talented, and with Fetus Transformation and New Qianyu, as well as the luck she might receive at the Hundred Schools Convention, it was not impossible for her to reach the first-rank spirit fetus.

As for the psychological burden...

Why can't I teach the skill I stole with my own ability to someone else?

The influence of individual martial arts in this world was indeed not great, but that also depended on the situation. If the first-rank spirit fetus could grow, it was not impossible to influence the world situation.

If he could cultivate his personal maid, it would be so comfortable!

The little maid was moved and almost cried, "But this New Qianyu is the young master's treasure. The young master's talent is not good, and if he loses it..."

"You don't have to say any more!"

...

Siqi Palace.

Qingjiang Hall.

Zhao Ning was leaning over the desk, carefully reviewing official documents.

After finishing his energy and spirit, he was meticulous, as if he never tired.

After a long time, she closed the last volume of official documents and leaned back in her chair, lightly exhaling. Thinking of the scene outside the palace today, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"The queen has arrived!"

The eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

Zhao Ning quickly stood up and waited respectfully.

"No need for formalities!"

The queen waved her hand and sat directly at the desk, checking the official documents one by one. After confirming that they were all carefully reviewed and approved, her indifferent face finally relaxed, and she smiled at Zhao Ning, "Very good! It didn't delay any important matters. Ning'er, don't stand up, take a break and sit down!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning smiled and sat down on the side.

The queen asked, "Did you meet Ying Wuji outside the palace today?"

A quick look at /2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

Zhao Ning nodded, "Yes!"

"He didn't discover your identity, did he?"

"No! But I didn't hide my identity too much. Ying Wuji is a shrewd person and probably already understands that I represent the crown prince."

"That's good! Tell me in detail what happened today!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning nodded and recounted everything that happened today in detail.Queen Wang couldn't help but laugh: "This guy is quite bold, even daring to pull Luo Yan's beard! But he is smart. From your conversation when you parted, he should know that you are going for the printing technique."

Zhao Ning shook his head with a smile: "Since the printing technique has been introduced, it is an inevitable trend. There is no need for our royal family to personally do it, and it can benefit the world."

Queen Wang's expression became serious: "Are you thinking of the imperial examination? No! Absolutely not! This move is simply digging the roots of the nobles. How can the Wei and Han families agree? This matter is too dangerous, and a slight carelessness will lead to being crushed. Mother will not allow it!"
