Bai Changchuan stared intently at the papers on the table, gently stroking them: "Princess, what is this?"

"Paper," the woman said, tossing the calligraphy brush in her hand before casually tossing it to him.

Bai Changchuan accepted it steadily, a gentle smile on his face: "Is this a reward for me?"

Ying Ji glanced at the man, somewhat bored, and waved him away: "If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's nothing valuable. Go."

"Yes." Bai Changchuan took the paper and pen and slowly withdrew.

Ying Ji looked at Yuan Ge: "Yuan Ge, why is life so boring?"

Li Yuange stood up to pour tea: "If Your Highness is bored, invitations have been sent to various households. Which one would you like to visit?"

"Oh ho, knowing I'm like this, there are still so many people sending invitations?"

“Princess, you are the eldest princess of the Great Qin Dynasty. How dare they neglect you?”

The woman stood up, picked up a fan and waved it a few times: "This isn't delivering a message, it's trying to get information. Oh well, I'm bored today anyway, let's call Fusu over and go admire the flowers together."

"Yes, I will go and prepare."

Tuanzi didn't understand. [Host, why don't you go find Ying Zheng? Aren't you doing your mission?]

The woman looked around; no one was there. She hugged the little dumpling and kneaded it. [This isn't urgent. Haste makes waste. What can I do right now? I have neither power nor money. I've finally managed to get some new people, but other things still have a long way to go.]

The little dumpling escaped Ying Ji's ruthless clutches and shuddered. [Host, you're truly useless.]

If Ying Ji's forehead could be materialized, it would definitely have an angry icon.

Grabbing the neatly trimmed tail of the dumpling, she turned it upside down: "You stinky dumpling, I haven't even complained about you yet, and you still dare to say I'm useless? You little dumpling, spit out the 13 gold coins I gave you."

The little dumpling whimpered and acted cute: "No, no, host, I was wrong. I won't say you're a penniless and powerless good-for-nothing anymore."

After saying this, the woman, enraged, vigorously squeezed the fox in her hand until it was rolled into a ball, and then kicked it away.

"Let's go"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, host, I'm scared! My face, my face! I was wrong~~~~~~~~"

The dumpling turned into a fox cake, was thrown against the wall, and became a pile of fox cakes.

Clapping her hands, Ying Ji felt much better: "I didn't expect the dumpling to feel so good. This makes me feel so happy."

Li Yuange prepared the necessary items and helped Ying Ji into the carriage.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Ying Ji was hoping to enjoy being watched by ancient people, but there was no one on the roadside except for a few old men and women. The street was messy and smelled bad.

It's fair to say that she shattered all her illusions about time travel to ancient times.

“e=(′o`*))) Sigh, I knew it, all those TV dramas are lies, all that clean and tidy streets, apart from the official roads, nobody cleans them at all, they're all dirt roads.”

Chickens, ducks, and sheep can all be sold on the street; the taste is truly... When I have money, I must divide the area into a commercial zone and an agricultural zone. Speaking of which, why isn't Ah Zheng taking out the paper yet? I feel a little embarrassed to sell without him.

Seeing that Princess Wang was in a bad mood, Li Yuange would occasionally bring up some interesting things to talk about.

Passing by a teahouse, I overheard a group of people debating something.

"The Qin Dynasty had no loyal ministers. I'm not making this up. Take Marquis Wu'an Bai Qi, for example. He annihilated 400,000 Zhao soldiers. If he had continued eastward, the Qin Dynasty would have destroyed Zhao. If it weren't for Fan Sui's grudge, the Qin Dynasty's territory would definitely be twice its current size."

"You're just spreading rumors. Not to mention the current Chancellor Lü Buwei, or General Meng Ao, aren't they both extremely loyal? Without Chancellor Lü, there wouldn't even be the current King of Qin."

"I don't care about that. Let's stick to the facts. You all talk a good game, but behind my back you don't really believe in the bloodline of the King of Qin. I'm ashamed to be associated with you."

"You? You're quite arrogant. How come you were kicked out of the Lü residence before you even got inside?"

"Hahaha, that's right, isn't this just sour grapes?"

"You speak with such certainty, aren't you just a fame-seeker? If you're so capable, why don't you find a way to get into the Prime Minister's mansion first?"

A crowd surrounded a man who appeared to be young, slender, wearing a cloth robe. His large head was casually piled up behind his head, and his messy, yellowish bangs seemed to be caused by malnutrition.

But those eyes, sharp, deep, and fierce like a wolf's, seemed to pounce on people, instantly making the plain face shine.

“You are all frogs in a well. Fan Ju was a sinner, and Shang Yang was also a sinner. Only by establishing a country according to law can the country be founded on law. Confucianism is only for gentlemen, while the rule of law can serve the country and its people.”

Ying Ji watched the whole thing and found it quite interesting: "This person is probably Li Si. It's quite a coincidence that he hasn't become Lü Buwei's retainer yet."

Yuan Ge, give him the invitation to today's flower viewing banquet and tell him that if he wants to come, he can come find me.

"Yes," Li Yuange obediently agreed.

Under the watchful eyes of the scholars, Li Yuange walked gracefully to Li Si with a smile on her face and handed him the invitation card.

"The princess has decreed that if you wish to come and see her, you may bring this letter with you."

Li Si bowed and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. However, I am not dressed in fine clothes and have nothing on me, nor any money. I am afraid I cannot go. Please take back this invitation."

Li Yuange smiled slightly: "If the princess gives it to you, just take it. Whether you go or not is your business."

Li Si watched the beautiful woman walk away, stroking the letter in his hand, and finally put it into his sleeve.

At this moment, Zheng Huo, who had just been mocking Li Si, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

“Mr. Li is truly talented. This woman is dressed in fine clothes and seems to be from a wealthy family. I wonder which family she is from and whether she has taken a liking to you. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future.”

"Yes, yes, Brother Li, we came from the Jixia Academy together. However, please don't take academic disputes to heart."

"Brother Li, it was my fault. This money is just a token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it. We're classmates, so please don't take it to heart."

Looking at these people, Li Si felt only irony. He raised his arm and pointed at them one by one with his index finger: "You guys, you really are..."

Zheng Huo pushed past the person in front of him and returned the bribe he had received earlier: "Mr. Li is very talented. If any young lady takes a fancy to you in the future, don't hold it against a mere gatekeeper like me."

Li Si nodded: "Alright, then why don't you introduce me to Prime Minister Lü today, and I can pretend this never happened."

Zheng Huo's face fell. "Prime Minister Lü has already met with a group of scholars today. We'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to meet him again. Why don't you go and meet your esteemed friend first, and then come and see Prime Minister Lü?"

"You're the kind of person who won't act until he sees the benefit. Fine, it's just that I, Li Si, am not meant to be."

The man turned and walked away, completely ignoring Zheng Huo's words behind him.

Zheng Huo sat down on the steps of the teahouse and began to curse Li Si for his ruthlessness.

"What ability does Li Si have? I knelt for two whole days at the Jixia Academy and he still refused. Now that I've finally regained my face, how come someone else has taken a liking to Li Si again?"

My older brother is going to yell at me now, ugh.
