Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1111

Hearing that, Ling Hai paused for a moment. He looked up at Yun Shang and said, "I thought his majesty and your majesty had already thoroughly studied Liucang City because of the matter of the seventh Prince."

Yun Shang smiled but said nothing.

Ling Hai didn't continue it. He just lowered his eyes and said casually, "Liucang City is not a big place, so there are not many books specially about it. But most of places have their own city annals, which are usually made up by some local scholars for the later generations to know the place where they live. Liucang City also had one, but it's not sold in Wenshu Bookstore. If you are interested, you can go and find one."

"I see." Yun Shang nodded, "Thank you, Lord Ling."

Ling Hai didn't respond. He looked up at the sky outside, and then lowered his head to put away the things on the table. "It's late. Several great grandsons of me should have been off the clan school. I have to go back to instruct them, so I'm leaving now."

Yun Shang lowered her head slightly and said, "Lord Ling, you can go now if you have something to do. If I have any problem, I will bother you again. Please don't dislike me."

Glancing at Yun Shang, Ling Hai took the things on the table and went downstairs.

Qian Zhuo stood on tiptoe and watched Ling Hai walk out of the door of Wenshu Bookstore. Then she couldn't help but snort, "Ling Hai is too arrogant, isn't he? When your majesty talked to him, he looked you in the eye without scruple and disrespected your majesty. When he left just now, he didn't even salute your majesty..."

Yun Shang chuckled, "It's interesting, isn't it? It's a good character to attract my attention. If he is as respectful as an ordinary person to me, maybe I will feel bored."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo was a little surprised. She looked at Yun Shang with hesitation, "Your Majesty, you mean... In order to attract your attention, he deliberately behaved like this in front of you?"

"Who knows? This is just my guess. Maybe, this is the nature of Ling Hai? After all, he is a scholar and had been a grand tutor. It's not impossible for him to be a little lofty."

Yun Shang changed the topic, "Ask someone to the city annal of Liucang and send it to Weiyang Palace. And..."

Yun Shang recalled the two books in Ling Hai's hands, "Jiang Xin and Dui Yuan Zhan."

After Qian Zhuo replied, Yun Shang turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.

"What kind of book are your majesty looking for? The books in this bookstore should be available in the imperial library, right?"

Yun Shang smiled, "I'm just curious. What kind of books does Wenshu Bookstore have that make Prince Xian and the former grand tutor so fond of it?"

Yun Shang shuttled back and forth between the bookshelves, but she didn't find anything wrong. She simply took two books and went downstairs.

The shopkeeper was idly looking through something behind the counter. When he saw Yun Shang coming down, he quickly raised a smile and came up to her. "Is there any book you like, madam?"

Yun Shang put the books on the counter. The shopkeeper took it and began to count it.

Yun Shang glanced around the bookstore and then looked at the shopkeeper again. "There are many good books on the second floor. I'm dazzled by them and can't choose. I don't know what I want for a moment. Boss, do you have a list of the books in your store? Can you give me one? I'll take it back and have a look slowly to see if there is anything I like."

The shopkeeper quickly fiddled with his calculations and said, "Yes, I do."

Then he smiled and said, "There are four books in total, one hundred and eighty-two taels of silver."
