Yoong Zuo followed Zhang Chuyang and Guan Enming back to the courtyard, but Fu Xuechen was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Fu An asked Haitang and came over to reply: "The young master went to visit the young lady!"

Just as he was talking, Fu Xuechen came back, looked at the three teenagers and said with a smile: "After all, the bookstore we are going to is under the name of my roommate, so I have just obtained the consent of my roommate to make the decision and transfer all the books."

I will give each of you a set of Newspeak books."

Although it is a lie, the excuse is natural and flawless, perfect!

"Then thank you so much for your sister!" Yoong Zuo asked: "I heard that your sister injured her legs and feet? How are you now?"

"It's okay!" Fu Xuechen gave a brief explanation: "Actually, it was painful when the fracture first started. After the bone was reattached, the pain was greatly reduced. There is some dull pain, and it will be taken care of later."

Yoong Zuo nodded and said: "Since I have accepted your sister's gift of a book, I will ask Li Zhen to send you some small gifts later."

Zhang Chuyang and Guan Enming also expressed their willingness to send some delicious and fun things together, and Fu Xuechen thanked them one by one.

Soon several people rode to the bookstore.

There are still many customers in the bookstore. Because there are no classes in the Imperial College in the afternoon, the bookstore is even busier than in the morning. In order not to disturb the customers in the store, the queue waiting for checkout at the counter has been lined up outside the store door.

Seeing such a heated scene, Fu Xuechen couldn't help but invite the three teenagers to sit in the store, so he simply asked Fu An to go inside to find shopkeeper Liu She, and took out three sets of each of the Newspeak books in stock.

Just outside on the street, I gave a set of storybooks to each of the three people.

The three of them were extremely happy to get the storybook, especially Guan Enming. He loved reading the storybook the most. Now that he had gotten so many newstory books, he was already itchy and had no interest in doing anything else. He hurriedly followed Fu Xuechen.

, Zhang Chuyang said goodbye to Yunzuo, and then turned back to his hometown.

With Guan Enming taking the lead, Zhang Chuyang and Yue Zuo were also tempted to become bookworms and left one after another.

Returning to the palace, just as it was approaching dinner time, Yue Zuo divided the words in his hands into categories, leaving behind the ones he was interested in: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and the ones he was more interested in.

"Bao Gong's Case", he put the "White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Wang Baochuan" that he was not very interested in into his arms, and went straight to the Yanning Palace where his mother and concubine lived.

His mother-in-law, Concubine Xie, came from a scholarly family and loved to read. He felt that the words of such talented and beautiful people would definitely please his mother-in-law. When she was lonely in the palace, the words of words were the best way for her to pass the time.

.

In the Yanning Palace, Concubine Xie was flipping through a volume of old story books. Aunt Zhao came in and said, "My Lady, the dinner is almost ready. We're just waiting for His Highness to come over before we can start the meal."

Concubine Xie nodded, closed the page of the book lovingly, handed it to the palace maid next to her to put away, and sighed: "In recent years, time has always felt like a long time, and without realizing it, I have read all the novels I could find.

I even read the more exciting story books two or three times, but the appearance of the new story books can’t keep up with the speed of reading, so I can’t help it!”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I heard that during the middle of the day, Empress Wan, Li Cairen and Xu Cairen were eating wine and admiring flowers in the imperial garden. The atmosphere was so lively that the Emperor was also taken aback.

Led over."

Concubine Xie smiled and said, "Young girls are always more lively."

Aunt Zhao almost rolled her eyes and persuaded: "Mother, you are not old! It's not a problem to stay in the house all the time. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and the scenery is beautiful. Go out more often. If you meet the emperor, say a few words of appreciation.

What nice words!”

"It makes sense!" Concubine Xie said, "If the sun is so bright tomorrow and after, I will have to bask in it, but I don't have to run too far. I just put a couch in the courtyard and I will lie there.

It’s time to read a book.”

Is the point of sunbathing? Aunt Zhao was speechless.

While they were chatting, Yunzuo's people arrived. After seeing the ceremony, Concubine Xie asked Yunzuo: "Are you hungry?"

Yunzuo shook his head, took out the Newspeak book from his arms, and handed it to Concubine Xie: "Mother Concubine! Today, my sister who was studying with Fu Yuchen opened a bookstore under her name and gave me some Newspeak books. I gave them to

The concubine took a few books!"

"Oh? Is there a new storybook?" Concubine Xie was a little surprised. She took the storybook and flipped through it a little. Not to mention whether it was good or not, the thickness of the storybook meant she could pass the time for quite some time.

"Concubine, please read these books first. After you finish reading, I still have some at my place." Yoong Zuo's eyes lit up: "You don't know, but the bookstore's business is booming! There are so many people buying story books, and most of them are in the store.

I bought it after reading through it, so I knew these Newspeak books would be very exciting."

"Really? Then I have to take a good look!" Concubine Xie was looking forward to it after hearing this, but she didn't rush to read it immediately. Instead, she ordered Aunt Zhao to go to the small kitchen to urge her.

Prepare to pass on the meal.

Yoong Zuo raised some more questions: "Mother, although these words were given by Yuchen, he actually borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. The owner of the bookstore is his biological sister. I heard that his sister accidentally injured her leg and foot.

, I am recuperating, and I wanted to send some small gifts as a thank you. Concubine, do you think I should give you something?"

"Since you are recuperating, why don't you give me some nourishing ginseng and bird's nest?" Aunt Zhao suggested from the side.

Yoong Zuo was a little dissatisfied: "This is too vulgar! It seems a bit perfunctory at first glance."

Aunt Zhao:......

Concubine Xie smiled, her thoughts turned around, and she said, "It's a common practice to give supplements to the sick and injured. You can't give some gold hairpins and jade bracelets, right? The other party is a girl, so it's not appropriate for you to give such things."

Yoong Zuo frowned. His idea was to give some elegant items that were as valuable as books, such as calligraphy and paintings. After Concubine Xie said that, he was afraid that it would be inappropriate.

Concubine Xie thought of something again and said: "Why don't you go to the rare animal garden and find a small animal to send over? If a person hurts his leg or foot, he basically has to stay in the house all day and cannot move. If

The little girl will definitely be happy to have any small animal by her side to keep her entertained, whether it’s a kitten or a puppy.”

Eh? This is a good idea! Yoong Zuo was very satisfied: "Mother, concubine, when it comes to giving gifts, you really know best!"

Concubine Xie smiled heartily: "That's because you don't understand girls. Most girls are soft-hearted and find it difficult to resist the charm of small animals. I'm sure the little girl will love this gift you gave me!"

Aunt Zhao on the side also laughed: "Your Highness, you don't know that my wife has been very fond of small animals since she was a child. She has raised all kinds of kittens, puppies, rabbits and birds. It was only after having you, Your Highness, that her interest in raising animals faded away."

.”

"Yes! I will go to the zoo tomorrow to pick out a small animal." Yue Zuo looked at Concubine Xie: "Concubine, do you have a small animal that you want? My son will also pick one for you by the way?"

But Concubine Xie shook her head: "Forget it! All the cats and dogs I raised before died soon after I entered the palace. People in the palace are unpredictable, and small animals often suffer for their owners. Keeping them will only increase worries."

Yun Zuo couldn't help but blinked his eyes, feeling that Concubine Xie seemed to have an unpleasant past regarding the animals she raised, so that she completely lost interest in raising small animals, which was regrettable.

The conversation stopped here. Concubine Xie was about to give orders for the food to be passed around when she saw the palace maid coming outside quickly. She didn't even catch her breath before she hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Your Majesty has arrived!"
