My eunuch An is a yandere

Gualv didn't complain to Bai Ningwei after all.

From her perspective, An Jiu had sneaked in, and Bai Ningwei was taking a nap, so she probably didn't know about it. If she mentioned it, it might make Bai Ningwei feel troubled and even more upset.

So she took Anjiu's cloak and didn't mention the incident. She just made a mental note to keep an eye on Anjiu's movements to prevent anyone from sneaking in again.

A woman's intuition, combined with her instinct for survival in the palace, led Gualv to suspect Anjiu harbored inappropriate feelings for her master. She was determined to guard against such suicidal behavior.

However, An Jiu did not give her a chance to defend herself. He took the Yanwuwei people and sailed south.

Ever since the incident with the reincarnation pill, the prince Xiao Duo had believed in was completely deposed, and things were once again beyond his control. This directly disturbed Xiao Duo's psychology, causing him to have many negative emotions and become suspicious.

What I am most worried about is that these changes will affect my already short lifespan.

Xiao Duo felt that the reason why the future crown prince was deposed in this life was because he was too anxious.

At the same time in the previous life, the eldest prince and the second prince were still alive, and Chen Zhaoyi had not yet appeared in public.

In this life, the second prince is gone, and the eldest prince has become more active.

Although there is no evidence, the legitimate son is growing slowly and the future crown prince is suffering from a hidden illness, so the one who benefits the most is the eldest prince.

However, Xiao Duo has always been pessimistic about the eldest prince inheriting the throne.

The Marquis of Zhenbei is a man with great ambitions. If the eldest prince ascends the throne, with his intelligence and emotional intelligence, he will probably become a puppet of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

What Xiao Duo wants to do most now is no longer to achieve merit and leave a better country for his successor; but to get everything back on track.

As long as everything returns to the trajectory of the previous life, there is no possibility of his lifespan changing.

Xiao Duo no longer thought about the rationality of this. Anyway, he had never heard of the butterfly effect. He just wishfully thought that as long as he gave birth to a healthy child and left it to Bai Ningwei, things would return to normal.

At least in the previous life, Bai Ningwei successfully cultivated a young emperor, and he agreed with those educational concepts.

So it doesn’t matter who becomes the crown prince, what matters is who will raise him.

Moreover, Bai Ningwei does not have a powerful maternal family, so she does not have to worry about the monopoly of power by her in-laws.

As long as she gets rid of the variable Huo Lou, she can wholeheartedly support the little emperor to sit firmly on the throne and grow up safely.

So Xiao Duo assigned the task of getting rid of Huo Lou to An Jiu.

An Jiu had been unhappy when he heard he was going on a business trip before the Lunar New Year. Leaving the capital, he wouldn't be able to see the Empress, but he was just a servant, so he had no choice.

However, when he heard that he was asked to kill Huo Lou, a cold light flashed in An Jiu's eyes, and he felt that no one else could do this job but him.

So Anjiu obeyed the order and left. He was gone for three months and only came back after the entire New Year.

Although An Jiu was gone, the communication between Bai Ningwei Palace and outside the palace was not affected.

Chen Xu did seven or eight layouts for the newspaper she wanted to publish, and Li Xiaojiu acted as an errand boy to deliver it to the palace.

Bai Ningwei looked at the two newspapers, which were published every ten days and had separate editions for men and women, and nodded with satisfaction.

It has that flavor.

"Gualv, tell the princess to come visit us in Lingqi Palace when she's free."

After Bai Ningwei gave the order, the eldest princess came the next day.

"I heard you were looking for me. Did you think of something fun again?"

Bai Ningwei invited her to sit beside her and handed her a sample of a newspaper.

"I'll let you guess. My brother came to Kyoto and opened a bookstore. He came up with this fun idea: collecting some folk essays and interesting stories, compiling them together, and publishing them every ten days. It's a bit of fun."

The eldest princess took the newspaper printed in tofu blocks and looked at it with interest.

"So you want me to help you with publicity?"

"It would be a waste of your talent to ask you to do publicity. I'm here to ask you to write a love column for my brother's newspaper."

Ever since the successful matchmaking event, the eldest princess, feeling herself to be a matchmaker, has taken to acting as a matchmaker. However, due to her high social status, she can't just act as a matchmaker for anyone she meets; she can't lower her status.

However, the more powerful the family, the more cautious the marriage, and it is impossible for outsiders to interfere. So the eldest princess had her own wishes, but reality did not allow it, so she could only look forward to the next selection.

However, the emperor's selection of concubines is at most once every three years, which is quite depressing.

Bai Ningwei asked the princess to promote the newspaper and let her write an emotional column, which just touched her sore spot, so the princess naturally had no objection.

Bai Ningwei's arrangement was to find a royal guarantor for the bookstore. After all, if the emperor questioned the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, the princess would have no choice but to come to their side.

Although women were not allowed to participate in politics in the Great Tang Dynasty, the eldest princess had always been a special existence and had a certain political status. With her support, some things would be much easier to handle.

However, these were arrangements made by Bai Ningwei just in case. After all, it takes time for people to realize the convenience of simplified Chinese characters, and it will take even more time to popularize them among the people.

By that time, Xiao Duo would most likely be lying in the imperial tomb.

When the eldest princess heard that she was hired as a so-called editor and had an independent office, although she did not fully understand it, it did not prevent her from happily accepting it.

So the princess went to Bai Liangchuan's bookstore to check in and take up her post.

Seeing the small building in a remote location, the eldest princess frowned in disdain, raised her jade hand slightly, and the personal maid beside her arranged for a painter to come here tomorrow to paint the gate.

When I got to the second floor and saw the office environment, my brows furrowed again.

The personal female official immediately took note and replaced all the desks with uniform wenge-wing wooden tables and chairs.

The princess's independent office was a remodel of the small single room Chen Xu had lived in before. Naturally, it was not to her liking, and wherever her index finger touched, everything was renovated.

By the next day, the entire bookstore felt like it had been completely overhauled.

Bai Liangchuan looked at the luxurious office environment and was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

“This is too luxurious.”

Not only were the tables and chairs standardized, the eldest princess seemed to have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even the pens, inkstones, paper, and pen holders were replaced with unified ones.

In any case, it looks not only extravagant but also very beautiful.

"You said she doesn't need to come every day, so why is she willing to spend so much money?"

The country bumpkin Bai Liangchuan didn't understand the eldest princess's behavior at all, especially since she didn't come today. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the small size of the office.

Because the doorplate of the eldest princess' office on the door panel was replaced with a larger and more conspicuous gold-plated plate.

"You'll get used to it. Her Majesty said that the eldest princess is old and like a child, so she needs more care. Who do you think is the most suitable person to be sent by the bookshop to caress her?"

Chen Xu was not surprised. There were many cases of lavish spending in Kyoto. Although she had never seen it, she had heard her father, the censor, talk about it many times.

Bai Liangchuan looked confused. He came from a small place and was unfamiliar with everything in Kyoto.

"Why do you still need to coax me?"

Chen Xu looked at his boss, who had a puzzled look on his face and seemed both clear-headed and stupid, and made the final decision.

"From now on, you will be responsible for asking the princess to urge her to submit the manuscript."
