After time travel, I became a talented lady

The emperor started to have diarrhea!

For the emperor who always prided himself on being a romantic man, it was really embarrassing that such an uncivilized thing as diarrhea happened to him.

As a result, for three consecutive days, the court officials' requests for an audience were unsuccessful.

Queen Xia knew something was wrong and sent someone to contact the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but was told that the Left Prime Minister was also sick at home and had not attended court for two days. . .

The sharp-minded families of meritorious service gradually went out less and less, and restrained their children from going to brothels and theaters to avoid getting into trouble and being buried in the fire pit.

There was a terrible storm in the capital city, as if a storm was about to come.

Gradually, rumors began to spread that Emperor Yuanwu had lost his way while chasing the enemy.

Liu Yunniang attended the full-month banquet for the grandson of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works. During the banquet, all the ladies were very careful with their words and actions. The full-month banquet was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Everyone seemed to have something on their mind and was very uneasy.

They have to pretend that everything is peaceful and the country is prosperous, and the smiles of the housewives are quite forced.

On the way back, Liu Yunniang frowned and stared at the window in a daze. Cui'er didn't dare to disturb her, so she quietly brewed a cup of tea and put it on the square table in front of her.

Passing by the Pear Garden, Liu Yunniang suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!" This startled Cui'er. Liu Yunniang smiled awkwardly, "I suddenly remembered that I don't know how the repertoire of the Pear Garden is arranged this month? Anyway, I own half of it. I just happened to pass by, so I might as well take a look, so that Zhu Chenggong won't blame me for not paying attention."

Cui'er covered her mouth and laughed, thinking of the last time when the shopkeeper from Zhu Chenggong's mansion came to deliver a message, and how cautiously and indirectly he tried to hint at it, and she shed tears of sympathy for them.

It was originally agreed that Zhu Chenggong would be responsible for business management, while Manager Xu from Liu Mansion would supervise and check the accounts, and Madam would only be responsible for producing the books, and she would not have to come to the Pear Garden for several months. Everyone lived in peace, but later the Emperor wanted to get involved, so Madam had to be more cautious and set a fixed date to come to the Pear Garden to supervise.

It is called supervision, but it is nothing more than shareholders meeting, holding a tea party, discussing new ideas and strengthening contacts.

Walking through the lobby, the guests from the backstage filled the hall and were whispering to each other. Liu Yunniang couldn't help but frown when she heard the guests whispering. The rumor that Emperor Yuanwu was missing had spread so widely in the capital. The emperor was away and the crown prince had not been appointed. It was obvious that someone was trying to take advantage of the situation and shake the government with ulterior motives!

She immediately asked the manager of the Pear Garden to inform Zhu Chenggong.

Zhu Chenggong was drinking tea in the flower hall. When he heard the shopkeeper say that Madam Liu had arrived, he was delighted at first, but before he could even smile, his face slowly turned cold. "Just say I'm not here and you can go and entertain her. Oh, and bring out the new tea that the emperor gave us some time ago."

The shopkeeper nodded and was about to turn around and leave. "Come back!" Zhu Chenggong followed and reminded him, "Don't tell them I'm in the shop. Also, didn't the old lady send some snacks from Qiongzhou yesterday? You should also ask someone to put a plate of them up."

The shopkeeper was very puzzled, but secretly felt sorry for him. He could only say that it was too late to show up, and life was full of regrets.

When Liu Yunniang heard the shopkeeper say that Mr. Zhu Cheng was not at home, she did not comment and went straight back to her house.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the matter was of great importance, and she became even more uneasy.

Having lived in the Daqi Dynasty for so many years, with her dear husband and children, and the respected Old Man Liu, she has developed a deep sense of belonging to Daqi.

The days passed quietly. She raised her children and wrote storybooks every day. She lived a leisurely and interesting life. She almost forgot how many years had passed. It seemed that she had no connection with the distant modern times.

The people and life now have become everything to her.

My husband is already a high-ranking official. Even if he is a ridiculous and dissolute emperor, he is just a lovely old man without any ambitions.

Not to mention the new emperor who had just won a great victory and Queen Xia who had a child. Daqi was in the process of restoring order, and the emperor and his subjects were united in working towards a prosperous and strong country. Nothing could go wrong.

So she could not just watch the country in turmoil, but as an ordinary woman, with no power above and no supporters below, what could she do for this dynasty?

Liu Yunniang tossed and turned, anxious about this broken dynasty and sighing for the fate of the people of this era. The high officials in the capital were living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and there was revelry in the restaurants every night. The people in southern Anhui were suffering from floods, and the people in the northwest were suffering from severe drought. They were all struggling on the line between life and death. Alas, Liu Yunniang could not help but let out another long sigh.

The little kid sleeping on the side was not sleeping well due to his mother's repeated movements. His little eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed to be worried.

Liu Yunniang couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you frowning, little guy? Did you lose the fight in broad daylight again?"

The moonlight outside the window is bright, and the gentle moonlight shines in through the gauze window. In the silent night, there is almost no sound. Only the sound of the night watchman's beating breaks the silence of the night sky and comes from far away. I don't know what my husband is doing at this moment.

Liu Yunniang was in a bad mood, so she simply slipped into her slippers, sat down at the desk, and started writing.

She thought about it, what could she, as an ordinary person, do for this country in turmoil? She could not ride a horse to fight, and she did not have the energy to assist the wise ruler to change the world. After thinking it over, she could only write some small essays to awaken the conscience of the people.

In the past, she wrote storybooks for fun, then to make money, and then she had money and children. She was doing this and that, half for interest and half for love of money! Under the wings of Cheng Deqing, she only did what she wanted to do, lived happily and comfortably, never thought about the wind and rain, and looked at this dynasty more as a bystander. But as she lived for a long time and got used to the comfort, she was more afraid of fluctuations. The panic in the capital made her realize that she was not living in a dream, but she was truly living in Daqi and was a citizen of Daqi.

Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country!

Only when the country is peaceful and the people are safe!

But she really doesn't know any black technology!

What a waste of the time-traveling girl’s golden finger!

Liu Yunniang calmed down. If nothing else worked, she could write about the legendary figures in history, such as Yuan Chonghuan and Yue Fei, to promote national integrity and boost morale. Even if she only inspired one scholar or made one girl sigh, at least she had paid a price.

The night was quiet. With worries about the current situation and the almighty golden finger of time travel, she wrote furiously and created a miracle in just a few days and nights!

The next day, Liu Yunniang took Mu Li and went straight to Rong Liulang's bookshop. The shopkeeper was so happy that his beard stood on end. He greeted the waiter enthusiastically and asked him to serve tea and snacks. He took the storybook without blinking and opened it eagerly without saying a word. Liu Yunniang waited patiently and took out a copy of "Da Qi Sui Yao" from the shelf and started to read it.

The shopkeeper's eyebrows twitched up and down, his expression was sometimes angry and twisted, sometimes sad and tearful, which made Cui'er and Ruping very surprised. After a long while, the shopkeeper came over hesitantly, with a very embarrassed and constipated expression.

"Madam Liu, this storybook is really well written, but we are doing business to make money. Few ladies are interested in this kind of story about family and country. Some poor scholars are interested, but they don't have the spare money to chase you up and down, and it's easy to cause trouble. Nowadays, the emperor has not gone out for a long time. Even the left prime minister has been absent from court for some days due to illness. The government affairs are all decided by the cabinet elders, which makes people panic. If what is spread is true, wouldn't it be courting trouble? Isn't it better for us to make some money steadily?! The storybooks of scholars and young ladies about love, hate, and vengeance are still the best-selling~"

Liu Yunniang said righteously, "If the country is in turmoil, you and I will not be able to earn money steadily like we do now. The emperor is away on a military expedition and the prince is young. If these words are spread at this time, it will shake the foundation of the country. When the country is in trouble, every man has a responsibility. Although I am a woman, I also want peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

"Well, well, that's true, but..." The shopkeeper felt wronged by this righteous argument. Yes, who doesn't want peace and prosperity for the country and the people?

"Pah, pah, pah", Zhu Chenggong walked in from the door. He was handsome and talkative. He was wearing a white robe today, which made him look even more elegant and romantic, almost dazzling Liu Yunniang's eyes.

"Madam Liu, you said it well," Zhu Chenggong looked at Madam Liu and praised her sincerely, "Madam Liu is as capable as any man."

Liu Yunniang blushed and said, "Mr. Zhu Cheng, please stop flattering me. I am just a writer and can only do minor things. The elders still need to guide the country in major matters. However, the rumors among the people are rampant, which is also a trouble. I think it is better to divert the attention of the people. It just so happens that Liu Bai asked me to send this storybook. I think it is quite good. Why not publish it in the bookstore and the opera house can also stage a play. What do you think?"

"It's just right. Let's publicize the national justice so that the soldiers won't be running around on the front lines while the people are still living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and still singing about the back garden."

Zhu Chenggong nodded and stared at the dancing butterfly hairpin in her hair. "Madam is right."

Seeing her look of worrying about the country and the people, I couldn't help but smile. She should be carefree and full of life. How could she be so sad? !

"You and I are both ants. All we can do is try our best~"

Yes, they had no power and influence, and could not influence the government, but fortunately they all had pens in their hands and wrote good articles. Liu Yunniang suddenly had an idea, and a bold idea came to her mind, and she blurted out, "I wonder what Zhu Chenggong thinks of the reforms of the previous dynasty?"

Up to now, the people's livelihood of Daqi has been in decline, the treasury is empty, and chaos is rampant. There are many people who want to reform and revive the country, but nothing has been accomplished. The reason is that benevolent rulers and wise ministers are rare, and sticking to the teachings of their ancestors is also a big reason. But now, the new emperor is tough, different from the previous emperors who were incompetent and conservative. He has shown a strong attitude to enrich the country and strengthen the military. Perhaps this is a good opportunity.

Zhu Chenggong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Madam, you are naive. How can you joke about such things? Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." He glanced at the shopkeeper, who understood what he meant, and opened the window and stuck his head out to check, behaving very cautiously.

Liu Yunniang looked embarrassed and felt that she was showing off. She was just bragging because she had read a few history books.

"Madam, just focus on taking care of your husband and children. The affairs of the court will be taken care of by the elders. We just need to do our duty. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Don't worry. As for this story, I will accept it. The profit sharing will still be in accordance with the previous rules. Let's see how the response is first, and then decide whether to put it on the stage."

Liu Yunniang nodded in agreement.

The master and his servants returned home.

Liu Yunniang had just sat down to drink tea when the doorman came to report that Madam Li from next door was here to visit.

It is said that Lord Li’s hometown sent some newly harvested chicken head rice, and they specially sent some to your house to try.
