I run a newspaper in ancient times

Although Emperor Yan was afraid of the Zhou and Shen families, he treated the empress and concubine well, at least showing enough respect in face.

The news of the Queen's illness spread to Mingzheng Hall, and Emperor Yan came to see her that night.

The queen didn't pretend to be sick, but was depressed and couldn't sleep at night, which made her sick.

When Emperor Yan saw her appearance, he was very surprised: "Where is the imperial physician, has it been announced?"

The queen was lying on the bed, seeing that the concern on Emperor Yan's face was not fake, she felt a little relieved in her heart, and smiled weakly: "It's announced, it's just that the concubine has too many things hidden in her heart, and some things have changed. But bend over and take care of yourself."

As for what was hidden, the emperor and the empress agreed, so Emperor Yan sat down by the bed and said: "Then get better soon, I have to take care of the affairs of the harem, so I can rest assured. The age of the empress mother When I grow up, it doesn't matter if I do a little bit of work for you, I can't bear to toil for a long time, and it is also our unfilial piety."

This sentence is actually more effective than anything else, the corners of the queen's eyes filled with tears: "The concubine knows, thank you for your trust."

Emperor Yan patted her hand, then raised his head and asked Lu Yun beside him: "Where is the queen's medicine, can you drink it?"

Lu Yun bowed her body, and said with a worried face: "Not yet, the empress doesn't want to drink..."

Before she finished speaking, Emperor Yan reprimanded: "Nonsense, is taking medicine a joke?" He looked at the queen with a slightly stern look, "How old are you, and you are still so self-willed." Then he looked at Luyun again, "Go, bring the medicine here, I will watch the queen drink it."

Lu Yun looked at it, and felt joy in her heart, and quickly responded: "Yes."

However, the queen called out: "Wait." Lu Yun stopped, only to hear the queen whisper, "Let her come."

Some helplessness and sadness are something you must taste as a queen, even if you push someone over with your own hands.

Different from Lu Yun's slightly eager footsteps, the one who walked in this time was much calmer.

"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready, please drink it while it's hot." The gentle and gentle voice was like a cool breeze taking away the heat of summer.

Hearing the sound, Emperor Yan couldn't help but turned his head to look at the person coming, but saw a soft and beautiful neck, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, comfortable and indifferent.

Emperor Yan's heart suddenly beat fast - Shi Yu.

He tried his best to restrain himself, so that his eyes would not become too hot, but after all, those extra glances fell into the eyes of the queen who had been observing him.

The queen felt that she hadn't taken the medicine, but her mouth was filled with a strong bitter taste.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, picked up the medicine bowl, scooped it with a spoon, and blew, looking considerate.

Shi Yu stood aside with the tray, watching silently, watching Emperor Yan personally feed the medicine into the queen's mouth spoonful after spoonful.

This medicine is obviously bitter, but the queen is happy with it.

There were three people standing in the room, each with a different mind.

When the medicine bowl was empty, Shi Yu stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief, and then presented the tray for Emperor Yan to put the bowl, and finally bowed and withdrew.

But before leaving, her eyes inevitably fell on Emperor Yan, with some nostalgia and secret feelings hidden, Emperor Yan did not see all this, but it fell into the Queen's eyes.

After Shi Yu left, the Empress saw Emperor Yan's thoughtful look, she couldn't help but twitched her lips and said, "Your Majesty, does she look familiar?"

"It looks familiar." Emperor Yan said thoughtfully.

"Your majesty forgets things a lot. Do you still remember Miss Shi's family who was so famous in the capital?"

I remember it, I remember it too clearly, even if she is in the west palace, doing the lowest and most arduous work, he feels sorry for her and wants to bear it for her, and he dare not go to find her, and even take care of her secretly. It's here.

Emperor Yan looked at the door, and tried his best to calmly pretend that things were right and wrong: "It's her, so she's still there."

Emperor Yan's performance, the queen herself didn't know what mood she was in.

She really wants to ask: Do you still like it?How can I serve you?

But in the end it didn't come out.

Emperor Yan visited the Queen, although he only saw Shi Yu and didn't even say a word, but he was still too excited to hold back.

Li Li had no choice but to be called into the palace, listening to his brother expressing his hospitality and urgency like a kid.

Then poured cold water on it and said: "How dangerous, if Brother Huang shows a little bit of love, maybe sister Yu will be able to die in the harem in two days."

The water was really cold, and instantly extinguished the flame in Emperor Yan's heart.

He sat down opposite Li Li and laughed at himself: "A Li, do you think there is any emperor in the past who is more useless than me? He can't even protect the one he loves."

"That's too much. Since ancient times, the emperor's heart is good, and all the beauties died young. Or, like my general, who is very skilled and holds the military power in his hand. No one dares to move." Li Li said with a little complacency , People still have to protect him.

Emperor Yan was speechless for a moment, could the two be the same?Not everyone likes this kind of tough big man like Li Li.

"Anyway, when we see sister Yu again, the queen will arrange it. Brother Huang, you can't do anything." Li Li reminded.

Emperor Yan sighed: "I know it well."

Although Li Li talked about not being able to control Shi Yu, he would still worry about it in his heart. In the final analysis, the emperor was still not strong enough, and all he could do was to let Emperor Yan take power as soon as possible, which meant that the two big mountains in the court would have to be defeated. Keep moving.

He wandered out from the palace, thinking about going to the shop of gossip tabloids.

The new issue of the tabloid is about to start selecting articles again. Some of them are sifting through the news sent by reporters from all over the place, and some are busy writing down the highlights. Everyone is busy.

To Li Li's surprise, Lan Zhou was also there. He seemed to be negotiating with someone. Seeing Li Li's arrival, he told the person opposite to wait a while and greeted him.

"My lord." Lan Zhou raised his hand and saluted.

"The tabloid is distributed to nearby state capitals, how are the negotiations with those booksellers?" Li Li asked, asking Lan Zhou to sit down.

Lan Zhou said: "Everything is going well. The capital is the trend of other places. Although there are tabloids who follow suit, but when it comes to news and interesting stories, illustrations and layouts, it must be a tabloid. Booksellers from all over the world are rushing to order, even earlier this year. For several issues, I want to ask the tabloid to publish it again."

"Earlier things, it's over after it's over, and it won't be resold. It can be printed more in the future, but is the output of the workshop not enough?" Li Li asked.

"Yes, I thought it would be inappropriate for this workshop to be opened in the capital. After the publication is finished and sent to various places, the transportation cost will be expensive. If it is rainy or snowy, it will easily get wet and blurred. Why not open a workshop in the local area, and every day As soon as the manuscript for this issue comes out, it will be sent over as soon as possible, and it will be printed and distributed directly.”

Li Li nodded and had no objection: "Okay, let's do this. Let Xi go to see you later, and while the workshop is open, directly insert the stake. Besides the capital, I also want to know the local affairs. Wait for the exposed piles to stand firm, and then let the northbound arrange the hidden piles."

Lan Zhou knew that the role of gossip tabloids was not only to let the people's opinions promote the court, but also to place spies one by one. The capital was already under Li Li's control, and now it was going to radiate outside the capital.

Lan Zhou said: "I understand."

Li Li looked at Lan Zhou, and suddenly asked: "Your young master has been in Beijing for so long, do you want to meet?"

Lan Zhou smiled and shook his head: "No, with the prince taking care of it, it's the same whether you see it or not. On the contrary, if you really meet, I'm afraid you will have to reveal your secrets to the prince, which will ruin your business."

"What can I do..." Li Li muttered twice.

"Master Yunxi has been sent to another courtyard by you, isn't it because he is afraid that the master will recognize you?"

Li Li: "..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Lan Zhou couldn't help sighing: "My lord, to be honest, if you really like the young master, it's better to resolve some misunderstandings earlier. Although the fifth princess went north with her relatives, she is still alive after all. The young master fought so recklessly in the war, partly because of the fifth princess. Why let him waste his feelings on irrelevant people when he is right in front of his eyes?"

Molesting Fan Zhiyuan is like a veteran, but Li Li, who is actually a pure and innocent virgin, suddenly feels that it makes sense.

Kindness is also love, why not, it is cheaper for outsiders.

He clapped his fan twice, looked at Lan Zhou and said, "Aren't you still busy, go."

However, Lan Zhou didn't leave, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "My lord, the young lady just entertained the owner of Suyuebu Village on Suifang Street. She wants to be featured in this issue of the tabloid. village."

"What does it mean?"

"Properties."

"There are so many, Su Yuebu Zhuang has opened several branches, which can be regarded as strong assets." Li Li wondered, "What does this owner want to do?"

"The last headline."

"There is a story!" Li Li pondered for a while, then suddenly beat the fan and remembered, "The current owner of Su Yuebu Zhuang is Uncle Yongchang's eldest daughter-in-law, right?"

"Exactly. Her full name is Su Yue. She is from Suzhou. She is the only daughter in her family. She owns Su Yue Cloth Village. She moved to the lower capital with her father six years ago. Five years ago, she married the eldest son of Uncle Yongchang's mansion."

"Uncle Yongchang's mansion has a title but no power. There are many people like this in the capital. They can put down their dignity and marry a merchant girl. Xu is the eldest son. It can be seen that they are not only poor, but also don't pay enough attention to the eldest son." Li Li said leisurely, "She wants to be in the headlines. Is there any injustice for the world to judge? But with the current worldly view, she might not be able to please her."

Lan Zhou smiled: "My lord knew about it early in the morning."

Li Li took a sip of tea and said, "This matter can cover the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the quarrel between mother-in-law and concubine, filial piety, family inheritance... a series of topics that can cause controversy and stir up hot topics are of course beneficial to the gossip tabloids. But as a widow, her husband has just died, so she hangs her husband's family and her mother's family together in the newspaper for the world to judge..."

Li Li shook her head with a broken smile, with pity in her eyes: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, everyone will think that she has acted too much and has no filial heart. So I don't recommend her to publish this matter in the newspaper, because these remarks may not only not help She, on the contrary, will hurt her even more."

In ancient times, the status of women was low, no matter how oppressed by the mother-in-law's family, wearing a filial piety hat could make people overwhelmed.

What's more, Dayan's restraint on women is no lower than that of any dynasty.

It may not be easy to keep assets, but if the reputation is ruined, it will be even more difficult for a weak woman to gain a foothold.

Lan Zhou left with Li Li's words, but not long after, he came back, and with him was the proprietress of Su Yue cloth village named Su Yue.

However, a woman with a successful career must be a person with a strong heart, how can she change her mind in a few words.

Li Li's words were not so much for Lan Zhou, but for her, but even so, she still came.

A woman dressed in plain white and wearing filial piety clothes stood gracefully in front of Li Li and bowed: "Minister Zhang Su has met Prince Yi, Prince Wanan."

Her face was as pale as her clothes, because Xiaozhong didn't wear rouge, only her eyes were red and bloodshot, and their eye sockets were sunken, making her look particularly thin and haggard.

"Please sit down." Li Li pointed to the chair on one side, then motioned for Dong Lai to serve tea, and then said flatly, "My condolences."

These two words brought a smile to Su Yue's face. During this period of time, she had received too much malice. This respect made her feel grateful and became more determined to her decision.

"Thank you, my lord."

"You are still here, do you still want to be on the headlines?" Li Li didn't ask too much, and asked straight to the point.

Su Yue looked weak, but her intentions were very righteous, she said without hesitation: "That's right, please forgive me, my lord."

"It's not about accommodating. Once your family's matter is published, it will benefit the tabloid. If you insist on publishing it, I don't have any objections. Just think about the consequences yourself." Li Li waved her fan and looked at her with a rare expression. serious.

"Think clearly. My lord, my name is Su Yue, and the cloth village is also named after Su Yue. This is my parents' love and expectation for me. I can't give up, let alone entrust their hard work to me. In the hands of those greedy people!"

Su Yue clenched her hands tightly, with a strong hatred in her eyes.

"Okay, the tabloid will be accepted." Li Li then ordered Donglai, "Call Zhu Run in, and find two other editors to write shorthand together."

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones were spread out on the table, and Zhu Run sat upright with two editors, the pens in his hands were full of ink.

After everything was ready, Li Li said: "Please tell me carefully from the beginning to the end."
