Knowing that he would soon be in the newspaper, Li Chengyuan was quite happy.

He writes poetry and novels not just to make money.

It was more of a desire to seize the title of a talented scholar before Fan Xian came to Beijing.

What Li Chengyuan wants is the reward for intercepting!

But he originally thought that he had to write Journey to the West and then participate in a few poetry competitions before he could be sought after.

I didn’t expect that Emperor Qing would actually help him. This is a good thing!

However, Li Chengyuan understood that the reason why Emperor Qing helped him become famous was that his ultimate goal was to let him participate in the fight for the throne and become the prince's whetstone.

Be it talent or popularity, as long as he is outstanding enough, then when the time comes, even if he still wants to give up, the general trend will push him forward.

But this is exactly what Li Chengyuan wants.

He didn't think about playing badly all the time. As long as he could hold on until Fan Xian came to Beijing, he wouldn't have to pretend anymore!

No matter what, Fan Xian must go to Beijing.

If he did not come to Beijing, there would be no one to take over the Censorate and the Imperial Treasury, and Li Chengyuan, as a prince, would have no way to get involved.

Only when Fan Xian comes to Beijing can he make plans calmly.

But Li Chengyuan is now afraid that if Emperor Qing pushes him too hard, he may not be able to wait for Fan Xian to arrive in Beijing and he will not be able to hide his edge.

By then, he would probably have to make other plans.

...

7 After seeing off Eunuch Hou, Li Chengyuan returned to the backyard.

1 As soon as I entered the backyard, I smelled the aroma of meat, which came from the kitchen.

2 Seeing this, Li Chengyuan quickly walked into Qingniao's room.

5 As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Lao Huang waiting outside.

7 Li Chengyuan hurried forward and asked, "Old Huang, how is the blue bird?"

"Your Highness!" Jian Jiuhuang replied hurriedly, "The imperial physician has examined her and says Miss Blue Bird is fine. She's just been hungry for too long, and then she was exhausted after the battle. The imperial physician has prescribed some medicine, and I've asked someone to prepare a meal. She'll be fine after eating it!"

"That's good!" Li Chengyuan instructed, "But people who have been hungry for a long time shouldn't eat anything too greasy. They should eat light liquid food. Old Huang, ask the kitchen to prepare some rice porridge and a bowl of egg custard. Have them bring it over quickly!"

6 “Okay, I’ll go right away!” Old Huang immediately went to the kitchen.

8 After Lao Huang left, Li Chengyuan wanted to push the door open and go in.

But when he got to the door, he knocked anyway.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a while, the door was opened and it was Sang Wen who opened it.

"Your Highness!"

"Well, how's Bluebird? Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look?"

"Your Highness, please come in!" Sang Wen said hurriedly, "I've already had Miss Bluebird cleaned up, and the imperial physician has given her some sugar water. She's awake now!"

As Sang Wen spoke, he invited Li Chengyuan into the room.

After Li Chengyuan entered, he saw Qingniao lying on the bed in white pajamas with a weak look on his face.

When Qingniao saw Li Chengyuan, he struggled to get up.

Li Chengyuan hurried forward and held down the blue bird.

"Okay, you're weak, so don't be so polite!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!" Bluebird said weakly.

"No need to thank me, how are you feeling now?"

Bluebird replied, "I'm much better now, just a little hungry!"

"Well, I've asked someone to make porridge for you. You're weak now and can't eat greasy food. Drink some porridge and egg custard first to calm yourself down. When you recover, I'll ask someone to make you something delicious!"

"It's already very good, Your Highness!" Qingniao's eyes were full of emotion.

"By the way, why did you faint from exhaustion?" Li Chengyuan asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the Blue Bird said shyly, "Your Highness, you don't know that I have actually been near Kyoto. Last night, I learned that Your Highness was crowned king, so I thought of coming to see you. It was only because I lost my purse and didn't eat all day yesterday.

I wanted to get some money first, but because I was anxious to see His Highness, I decided to hold back and rush to Kyoto to find His Highness first.

I thought I could hold on. After all, people who practice martial arts can survive two or three days without food.

Unexpectedly, I met a dozen bandits on the road. I fought a fierce battle with them and was exhausted.

Plus, after speeding all the way, I was exhausted when I arrived in Kyoto!"

"......"

Li Chengyuan almost laughed out of anger when he heard this.

She originally thought that Bluebird was injured by a master.

But he didn't expect that he fainted from hunger just because he lost his wallet and had no money to eat?

Why is this girl suddenly so stubborn?

In Li Chengyuan's impression, the bluebird should be quite smart?

Li Chengyuan felt a little scared when he thought about it.

If he had left Zuixianju a little earlier or a little later, he probably wouldn't have met the blue bird.

When Li Chengyuan thought about how Qingniao was almost kidnapped, he became furious and pointed at Qingniao and scolded her.

"Girl, why are you so stubborn? Can't you get some money first after losing your wallet?

Even if you are in a hurry to see me, after you arrive in Kyoto, you can find some food on the roadside. You can owe the money first, and when you come to me, I can help you pay back any amount of money, right?

It's better than fainting from hunger on the street, right?

If I hadn't happened to pass by, you would have been picked up by someone, right? "

Bluebird was extremely ashamed after being scolded.

She herself knew that she had done something stupid this time.

In fact, Bluebird himself doesn’t know what’s going on!

I don't know why, but I was suddenly anxious to see Li Chengyuan, so I didn't even bother to eat and rushed all the way.

Only after seeing Li Chengyuan did she come to her senses!

"Your Highness!" At this moment, Sang Wen came over with rice porridge and egg custard. "Your Highness, let Miss Bluebird eat something first!"

"Yeah!" Li Chengyuan cursed for a while and then calmed down.

He also knew that this time Qingniao might not be to blame. It might be that Qingniao was hungry at the time and her mind was a little unclear, and the system suddenly asked her to come to Li Chengyuan.

Then, by some strange mistake, the blue bird became confused.

Of course, Li Chengyuan's worries were unnecessary.

Since the system has given the reward, the blue bird will definitely appear safely beside Li Chengyuan.

So our chance encounter this morning was no coincidence.

All I can say is that the servants rewarded by the system appear in different ways.

This time, it was just an accident for Bluebird, she was just unlucky.

"Okay, give me the porridge, I'll feed her!"

As he spoke, Li Chengyuan took the egg custard and fed it to the bluebird bit by bit.

The bluebird ate bite by bite, feeling very satisfied.

She used to be wandering around, but now she finally has a "home"!

And what made her most satisfied was that Li Chengyuan was still as good to her as before.

Although Li Chengyuan had just scolded her, Qingniao was not angry at all, but very happy instead.

Because he knew that Li Chengyuan scolded her because he cared about her.

If they didn't really care, who would care whether she was dead or alive?

Chapter 18: Newspapers are distributed in unlimited quantities! Fan Xian is surprised!

The newspapers of Qing Kingdom were actually similar to the official gazettes of Li Chengyuan’s previous life. They were official newspapers that only high-ranking officials and dignitaries were qualified to purchase.

For example, in Danzhou, where Fan Xian lives now, there are only two newspapers in the entire Danzhou Port, one of which is exclusively for the Fan family.

This shows how small the circulation of this newspaper is.

But although Qingguo's newspapers are rare, they are not precious.

Because it only contains useless information.

For example, there are historical sites and places across the country, anecdotes about the ancients of previous dynasties, as well as some interesting gossip about the great masters and court officials, etc.

The entire newspaper contains almost no useful political information.

Some officials even feel ashamed when their private lives are exposed by newspapers.

It was only because this newspaper was personally supervised by Emperor Qing that these officials dared neither to be angry nor to speak out.

Of course, there are also people who like these gossips!

Because they can peek into the private lives of many important people, which greatly satisfies their desire to voyeurism.

Therefore, buying the latest issue of newspaper every day has become a daily habit for these people.

...

On this day, servants from many dignitaries' homes went to the inner court office to buy newspapers as usual.

However, many people have discovered that the number of newspapers printed today is many times more than in the past, and it is even impossible to count them.

Just as the servants were puzzled, a young eunuch walked out of the office.

The young eunuch glanced around, flicked his whisk, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has decreed that today's newspapers will be supplied in unlimited quantities without any restrictions!"
