An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1253 The Steward Of The Imperial Library

It was rare for Luo Qingyan to keep his promise. He didn't touch her.

The second morning, Luo Qingyan got up early and went to the court. Yun Shang woke up when she

heard the noise.

She couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she got up and personally helped him get dressed and washed.

After Luo Qingyan left the golden hall with the eunuch, she called someone in to clean up.

Yun Shang met the stewards of the palaces and the departments earlier today. She then looked

through all the pamphlets in a hurry, and found there was nothing important.

"Is the steward of the Imperial Library here today?" she asked.

Qian Zhuo was tidying up the pamphlets. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and replied,

"No. If there is nothing important in the library, he seldom comes to attend the morning meeting. " Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Okay." Yun Shang nodded and then asked again, "If my memory serves me right, except that Steward

Wang with whom something was wrong, the other steward in the library should be a eunuch whose

surname is Zhou, right?"

"Yes, your majesty." Hearing Yun Shang's two questions, Qian Zhuo knew what Yun Shang wanted to

do to the steward of the library, "Your majesty, do you want to steward of the Imperial Library? But it

was steward Wang who poisoned her Former Majesty. "

"Steward Wang used to cover up a servant in the Imperial Library. He was the one who peeked at

Weiyang Palace in the Moon Tower when his majesty pretended to be poisoned. They are in the same

library. I don't believe that steward Zhou should know nothing about it. If he really doesn't know

anything, it proves that he is not a good steward. "

"Yes, you are right." Qian Zhuo nodded. After a pause, she said, "Shall I send for Steward Zhou here?"

"No, no need." Yun Shang knocked on the armrest with her fingers and then said, "If you send for him

here and he will know it's my order. He will definitely foresee all the questions I will ask along the way

and consider how to answer them. In this way, it is difficult to tell whether his answers are true or false.

Why not go to the Imperial Library directly now? On one hand, I can see what kind of usual situation it

is in the Imperial Library. On the other hand, I can also take Steward Zhou by surprise. "

Qian Zhuo responded. She turned her head and looked out of the hall, "It's a nice day today. It's sunny.

Let me get an umbrella for your majesty to keep the sunshine away."

She fetched an umbrella and called several servants for company. She then helped Yun Shang out of

Weiyang Palace and went to the Imperial Library.

The Moon Tower was right next to the Imperial Library. When Yun Shang passed by the tower, she

looked up at it and pursed her lips.

"Since that accident, I have sent someone to keep an eye on the Moon Tower. It is a rare high-rise

building in the palace. According to an old maid in the palace, there would be some masters who would

like to come for enjoyment here in the Moon Tower occasionally. However, there are not many masters

in the palace now. The Moon Tower is deserted most of the time, and there are not many people

coming to enjoy the moon. And fewer people will come before the full moon.

I have ordered to record all the people coming to the Moon Tower in detail. I've checked them

occasionally to see if there's anything unusual and I haven't found anything unusual in the past few

months."

Yun Shang replied casually, "I'm afraid few people will go to the Moon Tower after that incident.

Remember, what if it will be useful in the future?"

After taking a few steps forward, they arrived at the Imperial Library.

As soon as they entered the gate of the library, they saw that the servants were busy in the yard. Some

were moving the books out of the Imperial Library, some were placing chairs in the yard, while some

were opening the books they had moved out and basking them in the sun.

Yun Shang observed at the door for a while until someone inside saw her. That person hurriedly knelt

down and bowed, "Hello, your majesty!"

"Greetings, your majesty!"

As soon as the greeting was heard, all the busy servants in the yard saw Yun Shang and immediately

knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, your majesty."

Yun Shang responded, "Get up."

She looked up, but she didn't see any steward there.

"Where is your Steward Zhou?"

A servant replied in a hurry, "Steward Zhou is sorting out the books in the room behind the Imperial

Library."

Yun Shang nodded and went straight there with her people.

Yun Shang had been to the library before, but she only looked for books or read books there. She

didn't know that there was a room behind the Imperial Library.

Bypassing the Imperial Library, there were indeed rows of houses behind it.

One of the rooms in the row was open.

Yun Shang walked over and saw a servant in a dark purple official uniform sitting at a table in the room.

There were several pamphlets on the table. The person had a pen in his hand, as if he was copying

something.

Yun Shang stood at the door, "Steward Zhou."

The eunuch paused for a moment and then looked up in a hurry. It was Yun Shang. He moved his hand

and a drop of ink fell on the paper and dyed it.

The eunuch stood up in a hurry and said, "Greetings, your majesty."

Yun Shang replied, but she didn't ask him to stand up, "What are you doing, Steward Zhou?"

"Your majesty, there are many books in the Imperial Library that haven't been exposed to the sun for a

long time. Some of them are about to grow bugs. The weather is just right today, so I ordered to move

out those books and bask them in the sun. By the way, I can check the books again and register them.

Now I am copying the books on each shelf on each floor. "

Yun Shang nodded and walked in. She picked up the book on the table and took a look at it. It was

indeed a book list, so she put it back.

"After the accident happened to Steward Wang, is Steward Zhou very busy?"

Steward Zhou lowered his head and replied calmly, "To tell you the truth, I'm indeed a little too busy. It

was fine in the first two months. Because of the cold weather, the masters seldom went out. And there

were fewer people coming to our library to borrow or read books . There were not many things to do

then, and we were able to deal with them.

"It's getting warmer now. There are more people coming. It's a little difficult for us now being so busy."

Steward Zhou said smilingly, "I was thinking of going to your majesty to ask for help after sorting out my

work in hand in these two days."

Yun Shang lifted her eyelids, "Send someone here to help? I thought that Steward Zhou would prefer to

choose a capable servant to be promoted in the Imperial Library here. After all, the servant has worked

in this library, so he knows more about it, doesn't he? "

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Steward Zhou lowered his head and said, "It's all up to you. I'll follow your

majesty's idea. It's easy to deal with the affairs in the Imperial Library. As long as you have read books,

you can do it. If your majesty can send someone here, I can teach him personally. He can start his

work in about one or two months. Of course, if he used to work in the Imperial Library, he would be able

to get to work faster... "
