He took a small sip of the tea.
She couldn't help but think of the things that had happened in recent days.
Thinking about it,
Her fair cheeks then turned rosy.
Humph,
Since the palace sent the imperial physician to the Eastern Palace,
She hadn't seen that nemesis for several days.
Li Yunrui knew very well that
She approached Li Chengqian only so that she could better control him in the future.
But at this moment, I felt a restlessness that made me feel like I hadn't seen you for three autumns.
This feeling is novel and subtle.
Could this be the legendary love?
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel flustered and confused.
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has come to visit."
Hearing this,
A hint of joy unconsciously appeared on Li Yunrui's face.
Just as I was about to say something,
The door creaked open.
A tall, handsome young man was standing outside the door.
It was Li Chengqian!
Li Chengqian stepped into the attic and closed the door behind him.
Then he looked at Li Yunrui seriously and said:
"His Majesty has ordered me to discuss the funding for the new newspaper with my aunt. Aunt, I apologize for disturbing you!"
Li Yunrui looked at the young man before him with a half-smile.
Her full, glossy red lips parted slightly: "If it's important business, why are you in such a hurry to close the door?"
"Does he have some ulterior motive towards me?"
Li Chengqian remained expressionless and strode forward.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, I'm still a child!"
"What bad intentions could a child have!"
"Closing the door was, of course, to have a deeper conversation with my aunt."
Li Yunrui's expression was alluring, her eyes seemingly brimming with charm, "Are you here to discuss that newspaper?"
"Of course! But before I talk about the news, I've learned a new martial art called Dragon Claw Hand, and I'd like to spar with you, Aunt!"

Chapter 12: Reactions from the Crowd
012 Reactions from the Public
When Li Chengqian left the Princess's residence
It was already half an hour later.
After some discussion, although there wasn't enough time,
Both parties were very satisfied.
Li Yunrui will send someone to the Eastern Palace to provide the funds needed for the newspaper.
At this moment, both of these matters have been answered.
Despite some successes and some failures, the framework of the new newspaper can now be established.
Although supported by the imperial treasury's funds.
However, he still needs time to select the venue and staff.
With this in mind, he returned directly to the Eastern Palace to prepare a preliminary plan.
At the same time, he also sent people to find a densely populated area, buy a piece of land, and build a place to recruit manpower.
The name was then changed to Zhaoxian Hall.
The requirements aren't high.
All you need to do is be literate, do arithmetic, and be of good character.
Once you're accepted into the Recruitment Hall, you'll receive a monthly stipend of one tael of silver.
There will be an extra bonus if you are assigned other tasks.
Those rich kids don't count on it.
But it will definitely attract many scholars from humble backgrounds.
Soon after Li Chengqian left the palace,
Every word and action taken on the trip to the Procuratorate and the Princess's Residence
It was then compiled into black and white text and appeared before Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.
Only in the Princess's residence,
He retreated from the crowd.
That half-hour incident was kept from being exposed.
It is evident that among the guards and attendants around the Crown Prince,
Not only were there people from Emperor Qing's people, but there were also people from the Imperial Censorate hiding there.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian had already guessed this.
The vast Eastern Palace, Crown Prince's residence,
Apart from the female official You Lian, no one could gain his trust.
In the palace, Emperor Qing sat before his desk.
Looking at that sheet of rice paper covered with tiny characters,
His expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
After a long pause, he suddenly spoke up: "Do you think what the Crown Prince said makes sense?"
Beside him, the plump Eunuch Hou quickly chuckled and said:
"This servant doesn't understand any principles. This servant only knows that His Majesty is the greatest principle."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing smiled.
I didn't feel much about these flattering words.
He was thinking about Chen Pingping's actions today.
Chen Pingping refused the Crown Prince without hesitation.
This indicates that he will not have any connection with the crown prince.
It demonstrated absolute loyalty to itself.
However, Emperor Qing became more cautious.
Wasn't what he saw something Chen Pingping deliberately showed it to him?
"Hmph, that old bastard!"
As for the Crown Prince's half-hour stay at the Princess's residence, seven
Emperor Qing merely glanced at it casually and then paid no further attention.
He had already anticipated that Li Yunrui would support him.
As for the Recruitment Hall, he didn't even consider it a threat.
Any talented person with even a little ability...
He had already passed the imperial examinations and achieved official rank.
The rest are nothing but rotten fish and shrimp; what waves can they possibly make?
As for what Li Chengqian said at the Control Yuan today,
Emperor Qing was somewhat surprised.
To understand the essence of fairness and the relationship between the strong and the weak,
The crown prince wasn't exactly stupid.
I haven't seen you in a while, and you've improved a lot since then.
As for the Crown Prince's assessment of Ye Qingmei's naivety,
Emperor Qing greatly approved of it.
Because if Ye Qingmei weren't naive...
He had no chance to kill her through a scheme.
The power that Ye Qingmei possessed back then,
