An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1113

What Ling Hai said was probably right. Since Yun Shang was in this position, she really didn't need to go to a bookstore outside the palace to look for books in person.

On the second day after her visit to the Wenshu Bookstore, Qian Zhuo brought in a few books in her arms.

"This is what your majesty wants, including Liucang City's annals, as well as a few books about Liucang City written by some famous local scholars. Some of them are older, written more than 200 years ago, and some were just finished the year before last... And the two books your majesty asked for are also here. "

Yun Shang nodded and let Qian Zhuo put the books on the table.

The book on the top was called "Ingenuity". It was one of the two books that Ling Hai took away yesterday.

Yun Shang reached for the book and turned a few pages. She frowned slightly.

This book was about craftsmanship skills, from wood work to ironware, from some commonly used appliances to weapons. It was about how those craftsmen used their ingenious thinking to make some very useful tools.

Yun Shang put the book aside and took another one, "Reaching The Clouds", which told about how to build a house as high as possible.

These two books didn't seem to have much to do with each other, but Yun Shang could see the connection between them because of Luo Qingyan's words yesterday. These two books were both related to the construction work.

However, although they were about all construction works, the content of them was too different?

No one could figure out what was deep inside.

What on earth was Xia Houjing making in secret? What plan?

"Your Majesty, what's in this book? Why do you look so puzzled? " Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Qian Zhuo couldn't help asking.

Yun Shang came to her senses and shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. I just feel that Ling Hai is really a character who used to be a Grand Tutor. What he read is obscure and hard to understand. These two books are all Greek to me."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo laughed, "I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't matter at all if you couldn't understand. There are so many books in the world. We can't understand every one of them, can we? Don't you know there is an old saying about it? There's a specialty in every special field. If your majesty want to know what it is about, you can go straight to find someone who can understand it and explain them to you. Isn't that enough? There are always people who can understand... "

Yun Shang's eyes lit up, "Eh, why didn't I notice that my Qian Zhuo is so smart? You are right. I don't understand, but someone else can understand them. "

Since they were books about the construction, she went to find someone who was good at it. If she research carefully the books in the book list, she might know roughly what Xia Houjing wanted to do?

Qian Zhuo was a little embarrassed by Yun Shang's praise. She chuckled and said, "I just said it casually."

Yun Shang smiled and put the two books aside. Then she picked up the several books about Liucang City and leafed through them.

After reading for a few pages, Qian Liu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Qian Yin is in the palace."

Yun Shang stopped flipping the book in hand and smiled, "Hurry up. Invite her in."

The bead curtain was lifted. Qian Yin followed Qian Liu in and greeted Yun Shang with a smile, "Greetings, your majesty..."

Yun Shang pointed at the stool and said, "Sit down and have a talk."

Qian Yin sitting down, Yun Shang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Now you suddenly come to the palace, which makes me a little nervous. But is there something wrong with the Xiao's business? How is the Xiao's business going? After all, it's my own business, too. I have to care about it. Have you earned any money? "

"Of course it's a good business there. The guests keep coming around. You can just count the money in the palace," said Qian Yin. She blinked her eyes with a bright smile.

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "Then I'm relieved."

She rolled her eyes and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

Qian Yin nodded and her face suddenly turned a little red, "I'm fine."

Yun Shang blinked, "That's good. Why are you blushing then?"

But her eyes fell on Qian Yin again, she noticed her hands protecting her lower abdomen seemingly. Yun Shang suddenly realized something and asked, "You are... Pregnant? "

Qian Yin didn't expect Yun Shang to be so sensitive. She was also startled, but she nodded honestly with a shy expression.

Now it was Yun Shang's turn to be stunned. After quite some time, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Really? How long has it been? "

Qian Yin coughed lightly and said, "It's just two months. It is not yet quite visible."

"Okay, okay." Yun Shang smiled and looked up at Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo. They two were also very happy.

"Congratulations, Sister Qian Yin."

Since Qian Yin came in, the smile on Yun Shang's face never stopped, "Good, that's good. I'm relieved to see that each of you has a good husband. Zhao Yingjie will be back to the Jin City soon. It's time for him to get married to Qin Yi. "

Hearing this, everyone present was a little surprised, "Qin Yi and Zhao Yingjie?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Zhao Yingjie is mature and steady. He was hurt by my unreliable sister before, but he is a good man. He will definitely be good to Qin Yi."

"That's really a piece of good news. Your majesty is going to have the Grand Ceremony soon. Qian Yin is pregnant, and Qin Yi is going to get married. Three blessings are coming around!"

Everyone cheered and laughed for a while. Qian Yin suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip, so she restrained her expression and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you today actually."

Seeing the expression on Qian Yin's face, Yun Shang restrained her smile and asked, "What is it?"

Qian Yin hurriedly reported, "In the past two days, we have assigned some spies in the city and found that it seems to be a little unsafe in the downtown. In fact, it's not a big deal, but after summarizing and associating all the news form the spies, we found that something is wrong. "

"Tell me," said Yun Shang.

"Many crowded restaurants and teahouses in the city have changed their storytellers, almost all of whom are strangers. The leaders of several opera troupes have also changed. In the big downtown areas around all the city, a few more acrobatics troupes have come. Moreover, there seem to be many beggars everywhere in the city, and those beggars are a little different from ordinary ones. They don't look like real beggars, but seem to be asking for information... "
