Chapter 176 Li Tian'ao's Guilty Feelings
As he spoke, Emperor Xuanhe looked at the library rules posted inside the library. One of the rules read: "Books in the library cannot be borrowed, but they can be copied inside and taken out."

The library also provides free writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Since the library already has rules, there's nothing to pity about this person who broke the rules again and now regrets it.

During his visit to the library, Emperor Xuanhe heard many people praising it highly.

Seeing the harmonious scene of men and women, young and old, Emperor Xuanhe was very pleased.

Furthermore, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

"Little Princess, I feel that the temperature in this library is different from that outside."

It's snowing outside, and it's still winter; it's already quite cold.

But in this library, it's as warm as spring.

Sui Sui blinked. "Isn't the library always warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Emperor Xuanhe: It has this function? It's so amazing!

If it's too cold, even if you don't come in to read, it would be great to come in and warm up.

Emperor Xuanhe once again remarked on how good the library was.

One hundred libraries have been successfully completed in Daqing.

Subsequently, some shops also opened in a high-profile manner.

"Selling pure white sugar and fine salt."

"A beautiful glass mirror, a rare glass mirror. Limited quantities available, first come, first served."

"Mechanical clock, beautiful mechanical clock, only 10 available, hurry up and buy one if you want."

As these items were sold, people gathered in droves.

Then I discovered that there was such fine, pure white sugar and fine salt.
The price is a bit high!
However, those wealthy families don't care.

If there's something better, of course I'll buy it.

As a result, wealthy families sent their servants to buy them.

The people also discovered that better white sugar and fine salt had become available, and the coarse salt, maltose, and other things they used to eat had actually become cheaper, and by a significant amount.

In the past, they had to grit their teeth to buy these coarse salt and maltose, but now they don't have to!
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether it's fine salt, coarse salt, or sugar; as long as it works, that's fine!

As for glass mirrors and mechanical clocks, while wealthy merchants were snapping them up, ordinary people, though envious, did not participate.

After all, they don't have any money!

However, compared to their previous lives, they feel that their current lives are much better.

For example, a daughter in the family can work as a textile worker in a textile factory and bring home a considerable amount of money every month to help support the family.

The family's son learned how to build kang (heated brick beds), and now he goes to build kangs for people every day, bringing back a sum of money.

The old man in the family was still employed by the Ministry of Works.

If the children at home want to read, they can go to the library.

Life has truly improved, and there's more and more hope for the future.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Li Tian'ao, carrying his bundle, finally arrived at the Tang family's doorstep.

"It's the young master back! Miss and Master are inside. I'll take you in." The servant at the Tang mansion's gate seemed to have been instructed beforehand and quickly recognized Li Tian'ao, leading him inside.

Meanwhile, inside the Tang residence, Tang Xiyue and the Tang family members did not look too good.

At this time, Tang Xiyue was four months pregnant and her belly was slightly protruding.

“My dear daughter, the snow disaster is coming soon, but you didn’t mention that the imperial court has prepared so many things. It seems that the cloth and medicine I stockpiled will be useless again.” Tang’s father shook his head, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of suspicion in Tang Xiyue’s eyes.

"Father, you don't believe me!" Tang Xiyue was very unhappy about her father's distrust.

"How would I know that the imperial court actually managed to procure heated brick beds, honeycomb briquettes, and cotton this time!"

These three things were things that had never appeared in her past life in her dreams.

To be honest, Tang Xiyue was also very flustered. Because what she was experiencing now matched her past life in her dream in some ways, but also didn't match it in many ways.

This made Tang Xiyue start to doubt herself!

But whenever this doubt arose, Tang Xiyue ruthlessly cut it off.

No, in this life, I will definitely get married the same way I did in my previous life.

because……

Having married Li Tian'ao, she had no way out!

"Dad, look! It's snowing! This snow is already showing signs of a snow disaster. I'm not wrong!"

Tang's father: That's true, but the cloth I stockpiled is no longer needed. People have warmer and cheaper cotton-padded clothes and jackets to wear, so why would they want to wear expensive and cold cloth?

As for the stockpiled medicinal herbs...

After winter sets in, because of the heated kang beds and honeycomb briquettes, very few people get sick from the cold.

With fewer people seeking medical treatment, there's naturally no shortage of medicinal herbs!

What use are all those medicinal herbs he's stockpiled?! Aren't they just going to rot away? Or sell them off cheaply?
Regardless of the reason, Tang's father will definitely suffer losses this time.

"How could I have known that the imperial court was completely different from the one in my previous life..." Tang Xiyue muttered to herself, her words only audible to herself.

"Master, Miss, the young master is back!"

Just as the father and daughter were at an impasse, the butler rushed in to report.

"My husband is back?!" Tang Xiyue stood up abruptly.

Soon, she saw Li Tian'ao walking in, following behind the servant and carrying a bundle on his back.

"Husband!"

"Yueyue!"

The young couple held hands tightly. If it weren't for the presence of Tang's father, Li Tian'ao would have wanted to pull Tang Xiyue into his arms.

"Husband, how did your trip go?" Tang Xiyue asked impatiently.

After asking, she realized she was being a bit too hasty and quickly added, "You've lost weight. Have you not been eating well while you're out?"

"Both I and the baby in my belly miss you." As she spoke, Tang Xiyue slightly raised her belly.

Li Tian'ao also noticed the slightly protruding belly.

His child is in there!

He was his eldest son!
Hearing the concern in Tang Xiyue's words, a trace of guilt flashed across Li Tian'ao's eyes.

After all, during his trip, he met Lin Qingru, married her, and even promised her that the future empress would be hers.

Thinking of what he had told Tang Xiyue before, that he would be devoted to her and that they would be a loving couple in the future, Li Tian'ao felt very guilty.

However, this feeling of guilt quickly dissipated.

After all, he was going to become emperor later.

There is no emperor who doesn't have three palaces and six courtyards.

The emperor, naturally, would be paired with Zhenfeng's empress, namely Lin Qingru.

As for Yueyue, she is a phoenix, and should rightfully hold the position of a noble consort.

However, there's no need to tell Yueyue about these things for now.

Otherwise, what if her anger or sadness affects the fetus in her womb?

Li Tian'ao felt that he was quite considerate.
