As soon as she entered the room, she was greeted by a fresh mint scent that made Yi Mo take a deep breath. The woman's boudoir in front of her didn't look graceful at all. On the contrary, it was a bit cold and cheerless. There was some unfinished writing on the desk. Gong Yi Mo walked over to take a look. It was a heart sutra, but because the person who wrote it was quite casual, the heart sutra didn't look very romantic. It looked more like a work of art.
Not knowing how much longer she had to wait, GongYimo picked up a pen and started sketching on a piece of white paper. She was thinking about the canal, which rivers could be used and which could not be. Speaking of which, she had traveled to many places in her past life. Everywhere she went, blood flowed like rivers. She did not pay much attention to these things.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the door creaked open. A drunk woman walked in alone. She propped her forehead up and looked up. When she saw GongYimo, her eyes lit up.
"Little Young Master, I thought you weren't coming …"
GongYimo had forcefully sent the youths out just now. She did not expect that she would turn back.
Gong Yi Mo put down her pen, folded the paper, and put it in her arms. She grinned at Yi Mo and said, "How could I not come when the beauty has an appointment?"
Hearing her words, Jing Yun snorted. That coquettish snort was enough to make one's bones go soft.
"You really think you're a man, Chaoyang Princess. I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person."
GongYimo was not the least bit annoyed that her identity had been exposed. She slowly walked in front of Jing Yun and looked up at her.
"If your network was a little more detailed, you would know that I'm not a princess."
Jing Yun covered her mouth and laughed. "What difference does it make? You have that 'As if I'm here in person' token on you. Who would dare to touch you?"
She even knew about this?
GongYimo rubbed her chin. "That's true. Then, you tried so hard to get close to me because of this token?"
"That was originally the case."
Jing Yun did not evade and said directly. Her straightforwardness surprised GongYimo.
"Then … why did you suddenly change your mind?"
GongYimo widened her eyes and asked curiously.
Jing Yun smiled and tapped her head. "Of course it's because of you … my little princess."
As she spoke, she seemed to be a little tired. She slowly walked into the inner room and lay on her side on the bed. Her body stretched out slightly, making the pose of a beauty lying on her side. She yawned.
"Speaking of which … I've heard your name the most in the past two years. You're even more famous than me, the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Really?" GongYimo, who had followed them in, rubbed his nose. "I didn't expect my reputation to spread so far."
Jing Yun glanced at her. "Princess, you're too modest."
"Back to the topic. Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
GongYimo looked at her curiously, looking innocent and naive.
Her look made Jing Yun laugh. Who didn't know that Dai Yu State had a clever and eccentric princess? She was so good at pretending, as if she had a thousand faces.
"Originally, I needed to borrow your token for some matters. But recently, after hearing the latest news from Dai Yu State, I suddenly had a brilliant idea."
She smiled sweetly and looked at her flirtatiously. "Do you know Yuheng State?"
GongYimo was stunned. She smiled, but gradually became serious. "Of course I do."
Speaking of this time and space, it was a combination of the future China, Outer Mongolia, and other neighboring countries. It was divided into four countries: Yuqi, Yuheng, Lou Ye, and Dai Yu State.
Among them, Dai Yu State was the largest.
It was like a long winding dragon that coiled around the Yangtze River and Yellow River. In the north, it reached the current Erlianhaote City. It was like a dragon's head that was raised high, separating Lou Ye in the northwest from Yuqi in the northeast.
It reached the current Macau in the south, Tibet in the west, and Shanghai in the east. Although the land was large, it occupied the best position!
To the north of Dai Yu State was Yuheng State. China had the smallest land among the four countries. It was connected to Dai Yu State and was its closest neighbor.
Further northwest from Yuheng was Lou Ye. Therefore, Yuheng was sandwiched between Lou Ye and Dai Yu State. It faced Yuqi State in the northeast.
Between the four major countries, there were countless small countries that were struggling to survive. As for Yuheng, because it was stuck between Da Yu and Lou Ye, it was in an awkward position. Therefore, it was very difficult, but also very easy.
Among them, the Yu Qi Kingdom was a Han country. Yu Heng and Da Yu shared the same Yellow River and also bordered the Lou Ye Grassland. It was considered a semi-nomadic and semi-Han country. As for Lou Ye, it was a completely nomadic country.
At this moment, a person from Yuheng had suddenly appeared in front of her. If the courtiers knew about this, it would be another round of trouble.
Therefore, she blinked and said, "Little Big Sister, if you have something to say, just say it."
Jingyun was amused by her words. She looked over with her charming eyes. "Of course, I want to make a deal with the Little Princess …"
"I heard that the Crown Prince of your country is going to build a canal? It will connect the capital to the Yangtze River, right? "
GongYimo nodded. "It's true!"
Jingyun seemed to be very happy. She smiled. "Is the Princess going as well?"
"Of course we are going together."
"That's great." Jingyun propped herself up and winked at her. "I wonder if the Princess was the one who came up with such a wonderful idea?"
GongYimo shook her head decisively. "Who knows? In any case, it can't be me. "
"That doesn't matter." A trace of suspicion flashed across Jingyun's eyes. "No matter what, the Princess is the Crown Prince's closest sister. Moreover, the Crown Prince thinks highly of you. Even the Emperor of Dai Yu State seems to pay attention to you. From this, it can be seen that the Princess's words carry a lot of weight."
GongYimo didn't say anything. She just looked at her with a smile.
"But from what I know, the Princess doesn't seem to be having a good time in Dai Yu State. Moreover, the Princess has an extremely close younger brother. For this younger brother, the Princess is very short of money … No, it should be said that she is short of everything."
GongYimo glanced at her. "You should have done a thorough investigation on me …"
"Of course." She winked at him again.
GongYimo thought for a moment. "I am quite short of money at the moment. What kind of deal do you want to make?"
Only then did Jingyun reveal a cold and stern expression other than a charming smile. His expression was full of seriousness. "The Grand Canal you're going to dig will go from the south to the north, using the existing Yulong Inner Canal as a foundation. You'll expand it all the way to the capital, right?"
GongYimo nodded. "That's right."
She looked at GongYimo with sparkling eyes. The passion in her eyes made her look like she was deeply in love.
"Then may I ask, Princess, what do you think can make a lot of money every day?"
GongYimo had already thought about this question. She counted on her fingers for Jingyun. "Exterminating families, killing people, robbing tombs, and …" Her eyes flashed. "Illegal immigration."
