Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

The moment the princess walked into the hall, the air seemed to freeze.

She looks elegant and has a good temperament. The only regret is that she seems to be a little fatter than slightly plump.

Qin Bingrui had sharp eyes and took a quick look at her using modern standards. She was about 165cm tall and weighed 150kg. If she wasn't beautiful, her figure would have been a bit of a burden.

From a distance, it looks like a chubby white porcelain doll.

Prince Rui is thin and handsome, and the princess is plump and beautiful, they are a perfect match.

"Rong'er, you're back! Why are you back so early today? I thought you were going to stay in your house outside the city until dark."

Prince Rui seemed to be a doting wife. He called the princess by her maiden name and stood up to greet her in person.

"Now that the matter has been dealt with, Rong'er thinks the prince will naturally come back soon!"

The dog food is properly fed.

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu stood up and saluted. The princess nodded and looked at Prince Rui and said coquettishly, "Your Highness hasn't seen Rong'er for just half a day, why did you ask the young lady to come to the palace?"

"Rong'er, these two girls are both retainers of Prince Ning. This one is Miss Bai from the Bai family, and this one is Miss Qin."

He turned back to Miss Qin and asked, "Excuse me, Miss Qin, where is your residence?"

Qin Bingrui smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to rely on Prince Ning as his backer. He had always been using him, so there was no need to save face for him.

I just told the truth: "The most beautiful courtesan in the capital!"

"..."

The princess couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, Prince Rui, your brother is truly unconventional."

Although she was laughing, when it came to business, the princess's expression returned to seriousness.

Her family was once a well-known imperial merchant in the capital. Logically, His Royal Highness Prince Rui would marry a girl from a noble family of equal status, but his mother, Concubine Yu, was too favored. The Queen at that time, who is now the Queen Mother, was afraid that his power would be too great, so she immediately betrothed the merchant's daughter to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui had no intention of competing for the throne, so naturally he would not object to this marriage.

Being born in the royal family, one has no choice of his own. It doesn't matter who he marries. Marrying a merchant's daughter can just help him escape the intrigues in the royal family and do what he wants.

However, he did not expect that his princess Ning Xiangrong was a rare treasure. Although she was the youngest daughter in the family, she had an amazing talent for business. Within a few years of marrying Prince Rui, she had multiplied the dowry given to her by her parents by dozens of times, and became the richest among all the princes with Prince Rui.

Being able to defeat Prince Ning through this is also what Prince Rui is most proud of.

His younger brother is better than him in every way, except that he doesn't have a good wife who can make money like him. I guess he will never be able to surpass his advantage in the future.

People will be happy only if they are easily satisfied.

After sitting down again, the princess heard the purpose of the visit and her eyes were so sharp that they stared directly at Luo Er.

"Then Miss Bai, please tell us what great undertaking you want to undertake that will benefit the people and also bring benefits to our Rui Palace?"

Then he sneered, “But what’s the point of just doing these superficial things if it can’t make money?

If you can convince me, I can lend you the title of King Rui, but I need tangible benefits, not just an empty title."

As expected of a merchant's daughter, and a princess with a natural talent for business, she only listened to the substance. Her empty talk just now was merely a way to give Prince Rui a good name and convince him.

It seems that the princess is the one who calls the shots in Prince Rui's Mansion now, so it was a waste of words just now.

"My Lady, I didn't buy the building on Phoenix Street to compete with them. I don't have the strength to do so. Even someone as powerful as you wouldn't be so reckless."

"Huh, you're quite good at making a comedic cameo."

“But I want to bring traffic to what I’m going to do in the future.”

"flow?"

"It's all about the volume of traffic. The more people know about it, the more people will become channels for spreading the word about our brand."

"Oh? That sounds interesting. Go on."

Princess Ning Xiangrong of Prince Rui personally manages some of the business and is open and generous. Besides, she has seen a lot in the business world, so she is naturally more receptive to other people's good ideas.

"I want to turn this entire building into a library, collecting all the famous and good books in the world and making more copies so that everyone can read them for free."

"This..." The princess' eyes lit up. She could imagine the sensation it would cause in the world without any explanation.

Prince Rui immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

Luo Yu was almost frightened. Even if it was his favorite thing, he might not be too excited!

"Miss Bai, please continue." The princess was calm and composed. She still wanted to know how to make money in the future.

If the book becomes famous, how can it make money just by giving people free reading? What if the Bai family follows suit, bringing fame and traffic, wouldn't the Bai family's business be even better?

Luo Hong liked this clever princess very much. When she frowned slightly, Luo Hong knew that she had already thought many steps ahead.

"Since I dare to do it for free, I must have the ability to do it. Your Highness, Princess, we don't need you to invest any money. I just need Your Highness to help me collect more books, preferably classified into different categories."

"Collecting is no problem, but if you want to copy it, the labor and the subsequent industry will be a considerable expense."

Now that we've come to this, it seems they've also thought about cooperating with the two girls.

But Luo Yu didn't dare to be too hasty. She couldn't put all her trust in this person she just met.

"If His Royal Highness Prince Rui and the Princess believe in me, I'd like to write up my ideas and submit a business plan for your review in a few days. Of course, I'll also include something to prove my ability. There's no need to worry about the Bai family easily copying my business model."

Even if the Bai family and the princess join forces, they may not be able to plagiarize it!

The princess stared into her eyes, and her calmness and confidence made her admired very much.

This young lady could guess what she was thinking, so she naturally thought of all the subsequent steps. King Rui and she were just stepping stones for this white lady.

Perhaps, it is because the steps taken backwards are too big and a strong backing is needed?

But why didn't they seek support from Prince Ning?

Princess Ning didn't want to cause trouble for Prince Rui, but she was furious at the pressure she'd been receiving from the Bai family in Liangzhou City in recent years. Princess Ning's business was the largest in Liangzhou City, but the younger sister of the Bai family's second wife had married the legitimate son of the Duke of Anguo, whose eldest daughter was the current Empress.

The power of the Bai family grew rapidly in an instant. Not only did they have a powerful backer, but they also wanted to kill them all.

Princess Ning was not sure if she was going to believe that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was not doing business targeting the Bai family's assets.

Now she is ready to make a move and wants to join forces with this girl from the Bai family to give it a try.
