The two stood together, so eye-catching that people couldn't take their eyes away. Xiao Wangwu took a step back and touched the flower pot at his feet.
Facing Shen Cangzhu who was very close at hand, Chu Xingchen let out an uneasy sigh. Just as he was about to explain that it was not actually her creation, he heard a strange noise at the door. When he went back, he saw Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang's eyes flashed and he lowered his head, "Sorry..."
He wanted to leave, but failed. Ling Zhou was wondering from behind, "Why don't you leave... What are you doing?"
Ling Zhou sneered, raising his chin high, "It seems we came at the wrong time, do we need to avoid it?"
Shen Cangzhu had realized that his behavior was inappropriate and hurriedly let go of Chu Xingchen, "No, no need, I was just too excited because of the library."
He realized what he had just done belatedly. His eyes swept across Chu Xingchen's slightly flushed cheeks and unconsciously fell on her pink lips.
His eyes dimmed and he looked away. When he saw Chu Xingchen's black and white eyes, his expression suddenly became clear and he smiled.
"Xiao Shaoqing and Ling Shaoqing, have you also heard about the Dachu Library?"
"Of course I heard it, that's why I came to His Highness excitedly."
Ling Zhou rolled his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xingchen's wrist, "Your Highness, I'm so excited!"
He must also be excited like this.
"Don't make trouble." Chu Xingchen withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Wang who had not moved at the door, "Xiao Shaoqing is here too."
She said hello with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. She and Shen Cangzhu didn't do anything, but she still felt guilty for some reason.
Xiao Wang tightened his hands in his sleeves, "Well, there are so many things I want to ask Your Highness."
"I know what you are going to ask, why don't we go see the real thing together?" Chu Xingchen quickly changed the topic, and the three of them naturally had no objection.
Finally, Chu Xingchen took them to experience papermaking and movable type printing in person.
"A miracle, this is really a miracle. I knew the shortcomings of woodblock printing but never thought it could be like this."
Shen Cangzhu couldn't help but express his feelings to Chu Xingchen, "Your Highness, you are really amazing."
Lingzhou looked at his movements and asked, "Does this movement mean he is powerful? I can do it too." After saying this, he moved his hands towards Chu Xingchen to express his feelings.
Xiao Wang didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Your Highness is very powerful." His tone was full of emotion.
Facing the comparison between the three people, Chu Xingchen said: "..."
This critical attack, this taste.
When Shen Cangzhu saw them imitating his moves, he realized that Chu Xingchen had only done this move to him, and they didn't know how to do it. Looking at Chu Xingchen's expression again, he felt regretful for no reason. He shouldn't have been so excited. Just let them learn.
This annoyance made him feel calmer.
After Chu Xingchen returned to Jinhua Palace, he was too busy and tired for several days and was about to fall asleep as soon as he got into bed. Before falling asleep, he suddenly thought of Zhou Buyan.
"Zhou Buyan." Chu Xingchen shouted in a daze. Seeing Zhou Buyan appear in front of her, she waved her hand, "Go and rest quickly. Go to sleep."
She was busy for a few days, and Zhou Buyan was busy for a few days, even busier than her. He didn't take a break when she took a break.
Seeing Zhou Buyan nodding, Chu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, "Remember to sleep on the bed, you must sleep on the bed..."
She had been on the rafters and knew Zhou Buyan's working environment, so she wanted him to sleep comfortably in bed until he woke up naturally.
Zhou Buyan watched Chu Xingchen sleep soundly. Perhaps because he was too tired, Chu Xingchen snored for the first time.
He originally wanted to obey the order and leave, but his feet had their own ideas and stayed where they were.
He thought for a moment, then gestured stiffly to the sleeping Chu Xingchen.
But after finishing the comparison, his feet still didn't move. Looking at Chu Xingchen's bed, Zhou Buyan thought of a solution. The bed His Highness slept on was also a bed, so he could just sleep on His Highness's bed together.
So he found a solution and fell asleep directly with one hand on the side of the bed.
The next day Chu Xingchen didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. She was happily nestled in the warm quilt when late winter suddenly told her some bad news.
"Your Highness, those scholars came to the palace gate again."
"What? Are they still going?"
Chu Xingchen also changed his face now, "Didn't I say everyone ran to the library yesterday?" Why are they so persistent?
Chu Xingchen stood up in a hurry, and just as he was about to rush over, he received another message.
The scholars went, but this time they did not come to sit-in and protest, but to pay their respects to the concubine.
They spontaneously went to thank her, leaving behind poems and articles of apology and praise. It was obvious that they all sided with her.
Chu Xingchen: I was really shocked.
Chu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but some people named Xie almost didn't vomit blood. Everything had been planned, but Chu Xingchen solved the matter in this way.
The incitement was in place, just waiting for trouble to happen, and the result...is this?
The imaginary verbal abuses have all turned into apologies and praises. How can I not be angry?
Chu Xingchen received those poems and articles. She appeared in front of them for the first time and returned the gift to them so that they didn't have to do this. This was just what she should do as a princess.
Chu Xingchen's move did not stop everyone, but more and more people joined the ranks of writing poems and articles.
The news about Chu's concubine's modesty, politeness and beautiful appearance also spread. There were even many poems praising her as a fairy, making more and more people want to see Chu Xingchen's grace.
But Chu Xingchen didn't go out again.
News of the Dachu Library, Dachu Paper and the new printing method spread quickly to every place in Dachu, as if they had wings, and even the states of Wu and Qi heard about it.
Wu and Qi didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until the merchants brought the books back that they had no choice but to believe it. For a while, Da Chu was unparalleled in popularity and became a place that scholars all over the world yearned for. Feng'an City in Da Chu later became a paradise for scholars.
But this is all a thing for another time. Feng'an City is still reveling in this incident. Those people who came to oppose the concubine's actions and prepare to sit in quietly plunged into the ocean of the library and were reluctant to leave Feng'an City.
Dachu Books has inevitably become a gathering place for scholars, and a lot of news circulates here. Chu Xingchen’s move also laid a good foundation for many future decisions and developments. Later, many news spread from here, and then to
in her ears.
Following a common practice in modern times, Chu Xingchen set up a suggestion box in the Dachu Library so that everyone could put forward their opinions. Unexpectedly, this suggestion box later played an important role, and sometimes it actually became Chu Xingchen's
ears and eyes.
It has also become a special channel for many people who are desperate or to communicate important things.
Chu Xingchen had never actually seen the Dachu Library when it was open, because Lingzhou was also curious, so he took advantage of the time to dress up, and the two of them sneaked out to take a look.
However, they arrived too late. Because it was full and the number of people was limited, they were stopped and had to wait for a long time before they could get in.
Seeing the strong learning atmosphere inside, Chu Xingchen was very satisfied, walked around and left.
When he came out, he unexpectedly met Lu Qiu. When Lu Qiu saw Chu Xingchen and Ling Zhou, he thought he had made a mistake. When he realized that he had seen it right, he rushed over immediately.
This was the first time he met Chu Xingchen after knowing his identity, so he was inevitably a little excited.
