The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Upon returning to the capital of Jing Country, Xiao Yunzhou dragged the entire court of officials to work overtime for several days to catch up on progress.

As the ministers grew increasingly weary, Xiao Yunzhou became more and more energetic.

"Perhaps because my heart is with the common people, I am a hundred times more invigorated. My dear ministers, you must also stay motivated!" Xiao Yunzhou boasted.

However, he was still a reasonable emperor who understood the importance of health. He hoped that his capable ministers would live long and stay healthy. So after showing off his "iron will" to stay up all night without fatigue, Xiao Yunzhou gave a light cough.

"My dear ministers, please work within your limits. If you feel unwell, tell me, and I'll have the imperial physician examine you."

Xiao Yunzhou looked sympathetically at his ministers, such as the top scholar Zheng Qiru with his obvious dark circles from staying up late, and the elderly cabinet ministers who appeared fatigued.

They weren't like him, after all. He had the little fairy princess using her celestial methods to help him.

Poor things.

"From now on, when the moon rises to the treetops, you can take your work home to complete."

"???"

"..."

The entire court of Jing Country was speechless. The emperor was getting more and more unreasonable!

After the morning court session, Zheng Qiru was summoned alone to the imperial study by Xiao Yunzhou.

"Your Majesty, last night I..." Zheng Qiru began to speak while pulling out a thick stack of rice paper from his sleeve to hand to Wei Zheng in the study.

But before he could continue, Xiao Yunzhou interrupted him, "Top Scholar, is this the masterpiece you mentioned last night that would give voice to all the women in the world?"

Zheng Qiru was stunned, almost forgetting what he was about to say. How did it become something he came up with?

[Oh ho?]

Xiao Chuchu, who was already on the low couch with her swaddling loosened and limbs free to move, immediately turned her delicate little face towards them with interest.

[Sister Ji, Ji Chunyue likes Zheng Qiru because he respects women, right?]

[So "CEO, Have You Apologized Today?" was enlightened by the chosen one, Zheng Qiru?]

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but want to laugh. This combination was something she never expected.

[Hahaha, the top scholar writing a romance novel?]

Xiao Yunzhou gave a light cough.

Weren't those kinds of works in the celestial realm written by top scholars?

But celestial writings were wisdom beyond mortal comprehension for the mortal world.

Xiao Yunzhou thought that Jing Country should take this celestial masterpiece with the utmost seriousness. It should be written by the most knowledgeable people in Jing Country.

This way, they could best present the beauty of this celestial writing.

With this in mind, Xiao Yunzhou nodded to the confused and honest Zheng Qiru, "I'm very curious about this treasure of a text that the Top Scholar says can change the lives of our citizens."

"If it's useful, I will definitely support the Top Scholar."

Zheng Qiru, with his intelligence of 91, understood in an instant that Xiao Yunzhou didn't want the world to know that it was he, the emperor, who came up with this chase-wife-to-the-crematorium... ahem, this work that would make women of the world stand up.

The emperor wanted to give the credit to him, the top scholar.

Letting scholars do scholarly work, the emperor didn't want to be associated with the text, forcing the citizens to read it.

Realizing this, Zheng Qiru was deeply moved. He looked at the emperor with great admiration and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yunzhou modestly waved his hand. Ever since his daughter had drawn that "Method of Acting" celestial manual yesterday, he understood better how to perform.

At that moment, he took the stack of rice paper written by Zheng Qiru from Wei Zheng's hands.

He stood up and walked from behind his desk to Chuchu's low couch to read.

[Damn, that's a thick stack. Let me take a look.]

Xiao Chuchu's delicate little face secretly turned a bit more.

Fortunately, her infant body's eyesight remained at a perfect 20/13 level.

At a glance, she could clearly see Top Scholar Zheng Qiru's neat handwriting on the rice paper.

[Wow, I never thought I'd be able to read web novels in such beautiful calligraphy.]

Xiao Yunzhou didn't immediately understand what a "web novel" was.

Could it be a very impressive writing style in the celestial realm? Like parallel prose?

Xiao Yunzhou felt a bit nervous, not knowing if the Top Scholar's level would satisfy his daughter with her fairy-like standards.

"Your Majesty, I wrote ten chapters last night. If it's acceptable, I'll continue writing tonight when I return home," Zheng Qiru honestly reported, not daring to conceal his progress.

[Damn, I didn't expect the Top Scholar to be an octopus writer.]

[Bursting out ten chapters in a single day?]

Xiao Chuchu was impressed. [Indeed, to each his own craft. Even if someone else smashed their face on a keyboard, they couldn't possibly write ten chapters.]

[Let me take a look.]

Xiao Chuchu became even more interested, but after just reading the first chapter as Xiao Yunzhou turned the pages, she was holding back laughter so hard that her internal organs nearly cramped.

[Good grief, the female lead of the first chapter's contract marriage has been changed by the Top Scholar into a fifteen-year-old girl who fled a flood disaster, leaving her hometown to come to the capital to sell herself to bury her father. She has a clear and pretty appearance, as pitiful as a pear blossom.]

[Oh my, I'm dying of laughter! A wealthy gentleman in the capital is attracted by her all-white, slender figure at first sight. He has his steward buy her, and they marry that night, thus avoiding the emperor's order for him to marry a princess.]

[Hahaha, even my dad has a role? Oh my, this princess is the third princess, isn't she borrowing the title from my current body?]

Xiao Yunzhou's expression turned strange as he looked at the Top Scholar. "This princess and the emperor..."

Zheng Qiru's ears turned red. "I couldn't think of any other reason why the wealthy gentleman must marry this girl. After all, he's fabulously rich, and surely doesn't lack for suitable brides through parental arrangements and matchmakers."

"The only thing that could make him rush into a contract marriage with this girl must be the emperor's order."

[Hahaha,] Xiao Chuchu heard this and was truly holding back laughter so hard her little face turned red. [The Top Scholar is even pursuing logic, he's a logical writer~]

[So, in the book, I'm the arrogant female supporting character who loves the male lead but can't have him? My old man and I are the big villains of this book, huh.]

Xiao Yunzhou's temple twitched. He and the little princess had become the villains?

The little princess stubbornly likes this wealthy gentleman main character.

And he insists on bestowing her in marriage to him?

What nonsense!

Just thinking about his own Chuchu being married off to a man who buys women on the street made him feel sick to his stomach!

"What's so good about this wealthy gentleman in the first chapter?" Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly. "I don't see anything special about him. Apart from having some money, what grand strategies or outstanding abilities does he have that would make me willingly marry the little princess to him?"

"Hmph, a man who sees a woman's appearance on the street and buys her with money - I think he's not worthy of even a finger of the princess!" Xiao Yunzhou was extremely displeased.

"Zheng Qiru, revise this for me. I really don't like this first chapter."

Zheng Qiru was stunned.

[Hahaha, how amusing! A VIP reader left a negative review.]

Xiao Chuchu was thoroughly amused.

Three days later, the top scholar finally finished writing and revising twenty chapters, with dark circles under his eyes to show for it.

Not only was Xiao Yunzhou satisfied, but even Xiao Chuchu thought it wasn't bad.

Ten days after that, the first volume of "She Returns with Two Babies Five Years Later" began circulating among storytellers in inns and taverns!

Moreover, the accompanying illustrated album and printed novel officially hit the shelves in various bookshops and art stores!

"What's this?"

"What kind of novel is this?"

"Hmm? Written by the top scholar?"
