[Salty Fish System: Oh, that's right. Speaking of Prince Chen, his son has a juicy piece of gossip too.]
Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes instantly lit up.
Who could blame him? Prince Chen was a prince without any real authority, yet he came before him every single day just to disgust him.
He frequently chatted with him about past matters, wasn't it simply to tell him that back when the Late Emperor was still on the throne, his status as Prince Chen had completely overshadowed him?
Every time he looked at Prince Chen's old face, the emperor wanted to punch him twice.
[Spill it, spill it! What kind of gossip could his household possibly have?]
[Salty Fish System: Prince Chen's heir plays around too much outside, which has led to him being impotent in that regard nowadays. Taking medicine used to allow him to display his might for a bit, but now, he takes three or four kinds of medicine a night and still can't last long.]
[Oh wow! Even this kind of gossip can your system find? You truly deserve to be the gossip king!]
[Yunjian: Hahahahaha, flaccid. Premature ejaculation is an illness, ah. I reckon this heir of theirs is probably sick unto death.]
The heir of Prince Chen's Mansion was about the same age as the Eldest Princess, but of all places, the one he loved going to most was the pleasure houses in the Capital City.
Once, over a courtesan, he had even beaten someone to death by accident.
However, this matter had been forcibly suppressed by Prince Chen. Although the emperor knew about it, Prince Chen had a life-saving decree left by the Late Emperor in his hands, so he had no way to get him killed over these things.
Having been infuriated by Prince Chen for so many years, the emperor suddenly heard the system say that Prince Chen's son was impotent.
Had he not been pinching his own thighs hard, he probably would have burst out laughing on the spot.
However, the Prince of Beiping and Prince Heng, who played well with the emperor, only needed to glance at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne to know what he was truly thinking in his heart right now.
The two of them inwardly complained: This old fellow really knows how to put on an act.
Emperor: The two of you shut your traps for Us! Didn't you know not to state what's obvious through a transparent window?
Wenren Luoshui felt her eyes were a bit dry, so she raised her head to stretch her eyes and neck, only to see the emperor's handsome face flushed bright red.
[What on earth is wrong with the emperor? Does he need to pee or has he got diarrhea? His face is almost turning the color of a monkey's ass from holding it in.]
Emperor:...
This ill-fated child!
Yet this was inside the Golden Throne Hall, so he couldn't possibly walk down from the dragon throne to Wenren Luoshui's side, grab her by the ears, and tell her not to let her imagination run wild, could he?
Thus, the depressed emperor's complexion shifted from red to green.
With such a speed of facial transformation, Wenren Luoshui silently sighed in her heart, it was quite suitable for going to practice Sichuan opera face-changing.
[Salty Fish System: There are still many things I can do. I've even done statistics, and the proportion of males in your Li Kingdom who have this condition is not small at all.]
The system spoke with a smug expression. If it had a solid form, the tail behind it would probably be wagging like a windmill.
The various ministers present hadn't heard the system state the specific figures, yet their hearts couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
What if this system casually blurted out all of their names? Thinking of this, everyone unanimously halted such a train of thought.
They exchanged glances with one another. This time, regardless of whether their relationships were good or poor, they could actually be described with--spiritual resonance.
[As I was saying, we can continue making money, ah!]
Wenren Luoshui suddenly remembered that back in the apocalypse, due to environmental changes, the flora and fauna of the world had also mutated one after another.
Not only were the lives of adults threatened, but the birth rate had completely ground to a halt.
At that time, I boredly browsed through ancient books left by my ancestors.
I discovered an ancient formula upon them; wine brewed using this formula could improve a person's physical condition and even nourish yin to invigorate yang.
Back then, however, it was the apocalypse. Let alone brewing wine with grain, supplies weren't even enough for the survivors to split up.
Fortunately, not long after entering the apocalypse, Yunjian had bound herself to a Taobao system.
That system of hers required her to spend a designated amount of money every day.
If she failed to complete it on the current day, the amount she needed to spend the next day would double.
More than half of the grain she exchanged was sent to the official authorities, leaving a small remaining portion in our own hands.
They replicated the medicinal wine from the ancient formula, used it themselves, and then sold it on the market.
Relying on this medicinal wine, the two of them could live quite well in the apocalypse without having to go outside to fight monsters.
Even so, the two of them still joined the official forces; she ran off to the official research institute, while Wenren Luoshui joined the rescue team.
[Yunjian: Could it be that you want to?]
Yunjian also recalled the medicinal wine they used to replicate. Hearing Wenren Luoshui talk about making money, she immediately understood.
The two of them exchanged glances, revealing a tacit understanding of a smile.
Everyone: No, what kind of guessing game are the Little Commandery Princess and Little Lord Yun playing?
Could it be that in the hands of the Little Commandery Princess and Little Lord Yun, there is some kind of medicine that can restore a man's dragon-like vigor in bed?
Although they were young ladies, and although they were a group of grown men.
However, if the Little Commandery Princess and Little Lord Yun truly had this kind of medicine in their hands.
They would still be quite willing to buy some from these two ladies to try it out.
As soon as the morning court session ended, Wenren Luoshui and Yunjian darted out like two rabbits in a whoosh.
Even when the voices of their two aged fathers called out to them from behind, they didn't pay them any mind.
Returning to the residence, Wenren Luoshui had Yin Xing keep watch outside the door, while she pulled Yunjian along to exchange for the required materials within their respective golden fingers.
Having prepared all the materials, she suddenly realized they hadn't prepared any wine jars, forcing her to open the bedroom door and have Yin Xing fetch the steward.
By the time the two of them finished busying themselves, the sun was already slanting westward.
The evening glow dressed the earth in a thin veil of orange-red. The two good friends stood up, feeling as though their waists were about to snap.
Sure enough, a person couldn't live life too easily.
They had only prepared twenty jars of wine today, yet they were already tired enough to cause lower back pain.
Just think back to when they were in the apocalypse; after going outside to fight zombies and returning, they still had the extra energy to prepare new medicinal wine.
A maid outside the door came knocking to ask whether the two of them wanted to go out for dinner. Wenren Luoshui languidly told them to have the meals sent directly to her room, and also had Yin Xing help them find two massage crones.
If someone didn't massage this waist of hers soon, Wenren Luoshui reckoned she wouldn't even be able to get up tomorrow.
This time, she was going to pull off a big deal!
While brewing the wine, Wenren Luoshui shared her thoughts with Yunjian, who indicated that she would support whatever Wenren Luoshui chose to do.
Thus, the two of them decided to open a place similar to a modern shopping mall right here.
A shop like this certainly couldn't be opened right under the roots of the imperial city wall. After all, a great majority of the storefronts in the Capital City were run by the various ministers' households.
Some of the big bosses behind certain shops might even directly be the emperor or the empress.
Therefore, they decided to lease a patch of open land outside the Capital City and open a small-scale shopping mall there where people could watch plays, go shopping, and eat food.
As for the scripts?
The system leaked gossip to us every single day; when the time came, wouldn't they have them as long as they had the system print out the documents?
After hiring a few people to train them, the ancient version of a theater troupe could open for business.
As for the delicacies provided in the shopping mall, with so many modern foods around, casually pulling out a few varieties would allow them to serve as signature dishes.
So after finishing dinner, Wenren Luoshui and Yunjian once again set to work drawing design blueprints.
Afterward, the two of them quite shamelessly asked the emperor for a month's leave.
Regardless of whether he agreed to grant them leave or not, they simply shoved their leave application into the hands of the Prince of Beiping and ran off to bustle about with their own enterprise.
As for how the old father was going to make the emperor agree to this matter, that fell outside the scope of Wenren Luoshui's considerations.
If the emperor flew into a rage and directly stripped away her official rank, then Wenren Luoshui would be able to die of happiness.
