The book has smooth writing and a tight rhythm. Simple words can outline a rich ancient world. The relationship between Ban Zhao and words is especially heartwarming.

Ren Baozhi covered his chest and raised a small white flag in his heart: Let's play, who can play better than you ancient people.

"What kind of book is this?"

Chen Lanyue was feeling bored at the moment. She was extremely sleepy while reading, but she became more alert as soon as she lay down on the bed. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Seeing Ren Baozhi like this, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"A book about gods."

Yundu, who had been silent the whole time, raised her head with interest when she heard the word "immortal": "What immortal?"

This book is not long and it tells the story of female characters. After thinking about it, Ren Baozhi decided to read the story to them.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat. "Everyone, put aside your trivial matters and let me explain this to you slowly."

"Oh, stop keeping me in suspense," Chen Lanyue rolled over and over on the bed, "I'm almost bored to death."

After a stick of incense.

Everyone had an expression of wanting more, and was very curious about the subsequent plot.

Chen Lanyue pointed at Ren Baozhi and said, "Why did you only buy half a book? How can you buy books like that?"

"Yue'er, you've misunderstood me. This is the only volume in Wanjuanzhai." Ren Baozhi smiled at Chen Lanyue. "How about we go to Wanjuanzhai tomorrow to see if there's a second volume?"

"A word is settled!"

Because Jiangchun found a development direction that suits her, the progress of rewriting her destiny increased a lot, which also made Ren Baozhi pay special attention to the specialties of Yundu and Chen Lanyue.

The daily lives of these two people remain the same: one person chants Buddha's name and prays for blessings all day long, and the other person tidies up all day long, but the progress of rewriting their destiny remains unchanged.

It can be seen that these two things are of no benefit to the development of both parties.

Ren Baozhi is determined to let them have more contact with the outside world. What if they find a development path that suits them?

So on the 29th day of the sixth lunar month, Ren Baozhi took Yundu, Chen Lanyue, and a group of servants to the West Market.

Ren Baozhi originally wanted to go straight to Wanjuanzhai, but when the group passed by Yuyanpu, Ren Baozhi couldn't help but slow down.

But this time it’s not about buying things.

The male shopkeeper from the Jinyutang next door was chatting with the shopkeeper Zhang.

"Hey, Manager Zhang, have you heard about the incident with the Queen of Heaven?" The man spoke first.

"What queen? You come to chat with me again, don't affect my business." Shopkeeper Zhang was obviously impatient and didn't want to get involved with this person any more.

"Hey, hey, hey, this time it's not just idle talk, it's a big deal!" The man stepped forward with a playful smile.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked impatient: "Speak."

"The Empress, along with the Saint, has changed her title to Empress and Emperor!"

"What does this have to do with my business? There's only one letter difference between 'Tian' and 'Huang'. I can just change it."

"Oh, why are you acting like a husband and wife? This is very important. The word 'tian' means 'virtue is greater than heaven'. Since ancient times, has there ever been a woman who compared herself to heaven?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was no pushover either. He cursed, "Oh, do I look like a Taoist priest? To me, you look like an uncivilized, crude fool!"

How could this title be easily changed without the approval of the Saint? If the Saint could call himself the Emperor, why couldn't the Empress call herself the Empress? You only criticize the Empress, why don't you discuss the Emperor?

You openly and covertly disparage the Empress, yet never mention the Emperor who truly established this title. I don't know if you've been blinded by greed, or if your heart is already on the side of you men!

Go away, don't let a scoundrel like you interfere with my business! Go away!"

After speaking rapidly, Shopkeeper Zhang turned around and walked back to his own Yuyan Shop.

The man looked at the back of Manager Zhang angrily, spat in front of the main door of Yuyan Shop, and then returned to his Jinyutang in a sullen mood.

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Heaven, Ren Baozhi chewed these two words over and over again, as if thinking about something.

In the history that she has come into contact with in modern times, there was such a woman who changed her name to "Queen of Heaven". It seems that the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the book also had women who were well versed in politics.

So, how many similarities are there between this "Wu Zhou" and the "Wu Zhou" she knows in modern times?

Ren Baozhi suddenly realized that his vision was still too narrow. Ever since he came to this world, he had been concentrating on his mission and knew nothing about the current social trends.

What's more, there are still two designated roles that have not appeared yet, and she can no longer confine herself to the four walls.

While their thoughts were racing, the group had already arrived at Wanjuanzhai.

Ren Baozhi walked over to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper Sun, do you have a sequel to 'The Biography of Ban Zhao'?"

"Oh, isn't this the young lady who bought history and law books last time?" Shopkeeper Sun walked out of the counter upon hearing the voice, and enthusiastically led Ren Baozhi and others to the area of ​​legendary books. It seemed that he had discovered that he had put the books in the wrong place last time.

"Yes, there is, but it's only Biography of Ban Zhao, Part Two. This book sold in small quantities, so few scribes were willing to copy it. Only the scribe in the small shop copied two volumes."

"From what Shopkeeper Sun said, is there a sequel to 'The Biography of Ban Zhao'?"

Shopkeeper Sun gave Ren Baozhi an approving look and said, "That's right. Although there are many bookshops in the West Market, my shop is second to none. If even my shop doesn't have it, then other bookshops certainly don't have it either. If you're interested, you can go to the Golden House in the East Market and have a look."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Sun, for your advice. When I first read this book, I thought it was well-conceived and had a fascinating plot. But why hasn't anyone hired a copyist to transcribe it?"

"Although this book was written by Jiang Tangtang, the most talented man in our dynasty, and the writing is exquisite, he overlooked one point."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The buyers of this book are all men. How could men be interested in a story with a female protagonist? Furthermore, there aren't any male characters in this book. Naturally, it won't sell. If it can't sell, and you can't make money, why would a copyist be willing to copy it? Don't you agree?"

Ren Baozhi did not answer, but sneered in her heart. No matter what field it was, as long as it was from the standpoint of gender, men always seemed to be able to form an invisible alliance, thus excluding women.

Shopkeeper Sun led them to the legendary area and searched for it for several rounds but still couldn't find it.

"I clearly remember putting it here. No one has bought this book in the past few days. How come it disappeared?" Shopkeeper Sun muttered.

"Manager Sun, are you looking for the Biography of Ban Zhao?" A clear voice came, and Ren Baozhi felt a vague sense of familiarity. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the Black and White Impermanence he met that day.

The two of them each held a book in their hands. Ren Baozhi squinted her eyes and looked carefully. Sure enough, the label read "Biography of Ban Zhao, Part 2".
