Lin Yunxi watched her two men leave the palace door. She picked up the wine glass and poured herself another glass.

The alcohol content of the wine is not high, so she should be fine with a couple of glasses.

When Zhixia saw this scene, she broke out in a cold sweat. The emperor had repeatedly warned not to let the queen drink. Just now she saw that the queen's men were there, so she couldn't persuade her. Now that the queen's men were gone, she didn't dare to let the queen drink again.

"Your Majesty, you can't drink any more. Your Majesty will find it bad." Zhixia Xiang advised.

"It's okay. The temperature is low. I'll have another drink. You go get a cup and taste it together." Lin Yunxi began to bribe Zhixia.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are not allowed to drink alcohol on duty." Zhixia noticed that the blush had already climbed onto her cheeks.

"Oh, okay, I'll have a drink and then go to bed. I'll make sure the emperor doesn't find out. I'm happy today. It tastes so good. Just one drink."

Lin Yunxi's watery eyes looked at Zhixia. This secret guard listened to her the most, and she knew that she would be soft-hearted towards her.

"How about I take a sip, and then go and have a rest."

Zhixia really softened her heart, watching the beautiful empress acting coquettishly with her. She was a woman who loved to see the charming empress, let alone the emperor.

"Okay, just one bite."

Lin Yunxi smiled and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

With her limited drinking capacity, her cheeks turned red immediately after her second drink.

"Your Majesty, how can your sip be a cup? I'll take you back to the bedroom to rest." Zhixia shook his head helplessly. My Majesty is really like a child sometimes, and she can cheat and drink like this.

"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory. I really can't drink enough."

Lin Yunxi used the last bit of reason to return to the dormitory hall with Zhixia's support. Fortunately, it was morning and Murong Hao would not usually return to the Ambergris Palace at this time.

Lin Yunxi entered the inner hall accompanied by Zhixia. Her head was so heavy that she fell asleep and stayed asleep for more than two hours.

Her drinking capacity is really that she can drink two glasses of wine, talk nonsense after three glasses of wine, and let herself go wild after four glasses of wine.

……

After noon, Taifu Liu of the Imperial Academy took a rest for the day. He went to the bookstore today to see if there were any new books on the shelves recently. While shopping, he suddenly found a newly opened shop.

"Xiyue White Paper? What is white paper? Isn't there just rice paper and yellow paper? Go and have a look."

Paper is a daily necessity for scholars like Taifu Liu. Rice paper is too expensive, so he is reluctant to buy it, and it is difficult to buy. Yellow paper is ink-proof, so he usually buys less. Nowadays, most of the books in his home are bamboo slips. , and too heavy.

So when he saw some white paper, he was very curious.

"Come and take a look. This white paper has just been put on the market. It is the only one in Dongsheng Kingdom. It only costs 6 cents per sheet. A large sheet can be used to copy a thin book."

Xiyue White Paper Shop opened today, and several waiters were soliciting customers.

"What is a blank piece of paper?" Mr. Liu, who was old, ran more energetically than the young man.

"Master, come and see, we are a newly launched piece of paper. You can try writing a few words. It's not too late to buy if you feel better."

Zhou Yang and Li Duo stood outside the shop to greet the first customer.

"It's really white paper. Can I really try writing on it?"

Taifu Liu came to the desk in front of the shop and was surprised when he looked at a stack of white papers neatly arranged.

He stroked the smooth, delicate, and white paper with his wrinkled hands. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such perfect paper.

"Is it really only 6 cents a piece?"

Taifu Liu once again confirmed that such good paper was actually cheaper than the yellow paper on the market.

"Sir, you heard me right. It only costs 6 cents. One piece can be used to copy a thin book. It is impermeable to ink and can be written on both sides. How about you try writing a few words?"

Zhou Yang guides customers very patiently, always keeping a sunny smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. If possible, I'll buy more."

Taifu Liu picked up the pen and ink he had put aside and wrote the word "white paper" on the white paper.

After the ink dried, he looked at the back and found that it was exactly as the store said, not transparent at all.

"Good paper, there is such good paper in the world!"

Taifu Liu was excited and his voice was a little loud, attracting many onlookers.

"Isn't this Taifu Liu? This paper is so good?"

Some of the onlookers knew Taifu Liu.

"It turns out to be Mr. Wang. This paper is really the best in the world. Come and take a look."

When Taifu Liu announced this, the onlookers began to crowd into the shop.

They all just saw the big characters written by Taifu Liu, which were not transparent at all, and everyone was excited.

This is the first time for everyone to see such white paper, which is also impermeable to ink and can be written on both sides.

"Give me ten."

"Okay, after you pay, the waiter will count them for you." Li Duo saw many people entering the shop, so he went to the shop to help.

"I want two."

"Count a hundred."

"I'll buy five."

When everyone saw that the paper was good, they paid for it one after another.

"Shopkeeper, are you going to run out of stock of this paper?" Taifu Liu saw people starting to queue up, and he began to worry that it would be out of stock.

"Old gentleman, our paper production is sufficient. We won't be out of stock in the near future. It's hard to say."

Li Duo smiled and replied that he saw a long queue outside the door and he was not sure whether it would be out of stock.

"Then give me ten sheets first." Taifu Liu handed over the money, waited for the waiter to roll the paper for him, and then hurriedly carried the paper to the palace.

Here, at the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Yang was helping out at Baizhipu today, and Lian Ruoyin took the lead in launching new wines.

"Everyone, come and take a look. Xiyue wine is on the market. It took two years to brew the fresh grapes. It is paired with a priceless glass bottle. It is always suitable for personal use and as a gift.

This wine has a smooth taste and is intoxicating. Today, the owner of the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce brought out 10 bottles of wine worth 300 taels of silver for everyone to taste for free. First come, first served. After tasting, it will be gone! "

The guys from the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce have worked hard in the shop for many years. Every time they have a new product, they personally promote it. Nowadays, the promotion of wine is naturally not a problem.

"Wine, I heard that wine is very expensive."

"You can taste such expensive wine for free, I want to try it."

"I want to taste it too."

When they heard there was free wine tasting, everyone started lining up.

For a time, there was another scene of busy traffic in front of the gate of Dongxia Chamber of Commerce.

In the imperial palace and the imperial study room, Tianyi reported to Murong Hao the news about the long queues at the white paper shop and the wine market today.

"Every project of the Queen is very profitable." Murong Hao looked proud after hearing the good news.

"Yes, the Queen is really a business wizard. Every time she sells something new, it becomes popular in the capital." Tian Yi studied the ink for Murong Hao and said with a smile.

Murong Hao just smiled and wanted to tell Xi'er the good news later. He didn't know what she was doing now.

At this moment, Zhongliu reported outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu would like to see you."

"Xuan."

"Yes."

Soon, Taifu Liu entered the hall carrying a long roll of paper.

"I have met the emperor." Taifu Liu hugged his beloved white paper and knelt down to salute.

"Taifu Liu, please get up. What are you holding in your arms?" Murong Hao looked at a large roll of something curiously. Is it Taifu Liu's calligraphy and painting?

"Back to the emperor, I am taking a rest today. I saw someone selling this thing on the street. I feel that this thing can change the fate of scholars in the world, so I came here to report it to the emperor."

Taifu Liu was so excited that he placed a large roll of paper on the ground and spread it out.

Murong Hao took a look and saw that it was Xi'er's blank paper. Taifu Liu treasured these blank papers so much that he wanted to hear how these blank papers could change the fate of scholars all over the world.
