Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 197 Try and die

Luo Yu had never felt so mentally exhausted.

At that moment when she was lying on the bed, she hoped that this damn day would end soon.

She fell asleep in a daze until a maid woke her up.

"Miss Bai, His Royal Highness Prince Ning invites you."

Luo Yu opened his eyes and was shocked to see ten maids lined up neatly, standing on both sides of the bed.

She stretched and was arranged by the maids to change into a light yellow dress, comb her hair into a beautiful bun, and put on light makeup. She looked like a lady from a famous family.

Prince Ning prepared everything very well for the "Yin Yue Courtyard" where they lived, even the maids were all exquisite and beautiful young girls.

After Luo Yu washed up, he went out and saw Qin Bingrui waiting outside the door.

He was still wearing men's clothes, and the scar on his face was no longer obvious, but his extremely handsome face looked even more masculine.

Luo Yu thought to himself, would Miss Ling Hong's face turn into Qin Bingrui's face in the long run?

Thinking of this, she chuckled. She really couldn't imagine that hideous face...

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

“I wonder if we’re becoming more and more one with our bodies.”

"I don't want to!"

The two of them were invited into the front hall, chatting and laughing. Prince Ning and Old Man Lin were drinking tea and chatting. Yan Xuan was sitting there with nothing to do. He looked around and when he saw Miss Qin and Miss Bai enter the front hall, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Bai, Miss Qin, you are finally here!"

Listening to his eldest grandson's joyful voice, Old Master Lin muttered, "Could it be that my boy has fallen in love with one of the two girls?"

After a while, his brows relaxed, "It's good that this boy has come to his senses. It's good that I can marry him."

Prince Ning: "..."

The house became increasingly bustling, and he felt exhausted.

Qin Bingrui had sharp ears and heard that everyone was married. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid Commander Yan won't have this great fortune. I, like him, only like women."

Everyone: ...

Luo Yu patted her and whispered, "Be careful with your words and actions."

"It's useless to talk to these people nicely."

Qin Bingrui sighed, and together with Luo Yu, he bowed to Prince Ning and Old Man Lin, then sat down leisurely to drink tea.

Luo Yu sat next to Qin Bingrui, sitting upright with a firm look in his eyes.

She was not in high spirits, but her mood could not be detected.

Zhu Jinyou turned his gaze towards Qin Bingrui, his tone lazy but majestic: "Miss Qin, what are your plans next? Tell me first."

"Ah, what's the plan?"

I just took a nap and didn’t think about anything!

Old Master Lin was even more impatient: "It's okay if you don't have a plan. Do you have any new weapons you can recommend to me?"

Prince Ning: ...

According to the letter from Prince Rui, Princess Rui's monthly sales are now ten times more than before. In terms of books alone, although they seem to be free to borrow, the profits from storybooks are actually quite high. Now even the wealthy Bai family is no match for Princess Rui.

Prince Ning's business is all in the hands of several retainers. These people are loyal to him, but their ability to make money is not as good as that of Princess Rui of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Luo Yu thought about the girls' academy. If he took the opportunity to make an exchange, they would probably agree, right?

Qin Bingrui noticed the look in his sister's eyes and reacted immediately.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, Mr. Lin, my sister and I have taken in two orphaned children in Wangzhou. They are still young, and since they have Fang as their mother, they are our younger siblings. So, since we will be staying in Jiangzhou for quite some time, is it okay to send them to the academy for a while?"

Prince Ning chuckled: "You guys really like picking up family members."

"That's right, everyone in the world who is destined to be with me is my sister's and my family."

When Mr. Lin heard this, he said happily, "You two girls are kind-hearted. Very good, very good. I am willing to be your family too."

Yan Xuan: Why did grandpa become like this?

Luo Yu smiled, stood up and bowed to the old man.

"Mr. Lin, this time we're sending some of the kids to the academy. I think besides the two boys, Bai Lingyi and Mei Zhengyan, it would be great if a five-year-old girl could also go to the academy."

Grandpa Lin exclaimed "Ah". He just said something too much. Since we are family members, we have to be responsible for the little girls' study problems?

"Well, I haven't heard of any academy for women to study."

Then he turned around and asked Zhu Jinyou, "Nephew, have you heard about it?"

Prince Ning raised his lips and said with a half-smile, "It seems Miss Bai has figured it out."

Before Luo Yu could reply, he said coldly, "Don't negotiate any terms with me. You promised me the library before. Also, you said you would give me something as a thank you. Do you have it ready?"

Luo Yu bowed, sat down and said nothing.

Prince Ning was so angry that he dared not answer him.

Qin Bingrui had no choice but to explain: "Didn't I give you a secret recipe for medical ethanol when I transported grain last time?"

"This is my thanks for helping you transport the grain. It's not the same thing as what I said before."

"Okay, my sister and I will help with the library. As for the rest, we will slowly figure it out later."

Luo Yu blurted out, "Miss Qin and I are not responsible for the construction, renovation, or printing of the library. Prince Ning must have arranged for the right people, right? I can be responsible for writing the detailed outline for the storybook, but His Highness Prince Ning will need to find someone capable enough to polish the outline into a full-length story. As for the comic series, Bai Lingyi can't draw two stories by himself at the moment."

Qin Bingrui nodded and said, "I can still write '100,000 Whys'. If I want to produce something new, it will take a lot of effort. We don't have enough manpower."

"Don't worry about that. I recruited a group of students to help with the provincial examination last month. When the results are out in half a month, I'll find the best ones to help you write your works."

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu looked at each other in surprise. He was truly worthy of being the domineering Prince Ning.

"As for the library building, I've found the best one. It was renovated last month, and the interior decoration is almost complete. The movable type printing workshop is also ready. We don't need to get books for the Jiangzhou Library from King Rui. We can print them all ourselves and sell them all over the place."

Qin Bingrui blurted out: "Wow, so domineering!"

Yan Xuan felt itchy after hearing this and added, "But the "Wutian Biography" is only available in Liangzhou City!"

Prince Ning sneered: "Then let Bai Lingyi continue to draw other new stories for me."

Luo Yu said weakly, "If I try to draw two pieces at the same time, I'll die suddenly."

When Mr. Lin heard this, he felt very distressed and pretended to scold Zhu Jinyou: "You kid, how can you be so unkind to women? No wonder you can't find a wife at this age."

Luo Yu finally dared to speak loudly: "We have also copied the library in Liangzhou City in Wangzhou City. As for the picture books, we borrowed a set from Prince Rui and asked the person in charge in Wangzhou to find someone who can draw to copy the old picture books. As for the other peripherals, we still purchase and sell them from His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Prince Ning only wanted to surpass the prestige of Prince Rui's Mansion and was unwilling to compromise at all.

"Since 'The Legend of Wutian' is so popular, we will continue to introduce your approach, Miss Bai. However, you still have to come up with this new picture book for me, and it must surpass the success of 'The Legend of Wutian'."

"..."

Qin Bingrui whispered, "Either draw something like Star Journey, or something like Attack of the Giant Monkey or Godzilla vs. Goten. Sister, it will definitely be shocking."

"If you don't want to be dragged out and beaten to death, you can try."

"..."
