Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1113

What Ling Hai said was probably right. Since Yun Shang was in this position, she really didn't need to go to a bookstore outside the palace to look for books in person.

On the second day after her visit to the Wenshu Bookstore, Qian Zhuo brought in a few books in her arms.

"This is what your majesty wants, including Liucang City's annals, as well as a few books about Liucang City written by some famous local scholars. Some of them are older, written more than 200 years ago, and some were just finished the year before last... And the two books your majesty asked for are also here."

Yun Shang nodded and let Qian Zhuo put the books on the table.

The book on the top was called "Ingenuity". It was one of the two books that Ling Hai took away yesterday.

Yun Shang reached for the book and turned a few pages. She frowned slightly.

This book was about craftsmanship skills, from wood work to ironware, from some commonly used appliances to weapons. It was about how those craftsmen used their ingenious thinking to make some very useful tools.

Yun Shang put the book aside and took another one, "Reaching The Clouds", which told about how to build a house as high as possible. These two books didn't seem to have much to do with each other, but Yun Shang could see the connection between them because of Luo Qingyan's words yesterday. These two books were both related to the construction work.

However, although they were about all construction works, the content of them was too different?

No one could figure out what was deep inside.

What on earth was Xia Houjing making in secret? What plan?

"Your Majesty, what's in this book? Why do you look so puzzled? " Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Qian Zhuo couldn't help asking.

Yun Shang came to her senses and shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. I just feel that Ling Hai is really a character who used to be a Grand Tutor. What he read is obscure and hard to understand. These two books are all Greek to me."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo laughed, "I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't matter at all if you couldn't understand. There are so many books in the world. We can't understand every one of them, can we? Don't you know there is an old saying about it? There's a specialty in every special field. If your majesty want to know what it is about, you can go straight to find someone who can understand it and explain them to you. Isn't that enough? There are always people who can understand..."

Yun Shang's eyes lit up, "Eh, why didn't I notice that my Qian Zhuo is so smart? You are right. I don't understand, but someone else can understand them."

Since they were books about the construction, she went to find someone who was good at it. If she research carefully the books in the book list, she might know roughly what Xia Houjing wanted to do? Qian Zhuo was a little embarrassed by Yun Shang's praise. She chuckled and said, "I just said it casually."

Yun Shang smiled and put the two books aside. Then she picked up the several books about Liucang City and leafed through them.

After reading for a few pages, Qian Liu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Qian Yin is in the palace."

Yun Shang stopped flipping the book in hand and smiled, "Hurry up. Invite her in."

The bead curtain was lifted. Qian Yin followed Qian Liu in and greeted Yun Shang with a smile, "Greetings, your majesty..."

Yun Shang pointed at the stool and said, "Sit down and have a talk."
