"What? Sending a package to Old Zhu?" Jiang Chuan touched the little princess's forehead. "She doesn't have a fever, so why is she talking nonsense?"

Lin Xiaoyu glared at him and said, "You're the one talking nonsense! What's wrong with letting Jingjing try? What if Old Zhu receives it?"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback. Why was Lin Xiaoyu also starting to talk nonsense? Could it be that she had caught the little princess's nonsense?

He was about to speak when he saw Lin Xiaoyu desperately trying to wink at him, and he immediately realized what was going on.

In life, sometimes we need white lies to give the little princess a little hope and something to hold onto, so she doesn't miss her parents too much.

"Jingjing, why don't we give it a try? Maybe it really will work?" Jiang Chuan changed his previous attitude and followed Lin Xiaoyu's lead.

"Brother, Sister Xiaoyu, I appreciate your kindness!" Zhu Jingjing sniffed and said, "If express delivery could really reach the Ming Dynasty, then these modern items would be everywhere!"

Jiang Chuan smiled wryly. Although Zhu Jingjing was naive and inexperienced, she was not a seven or eight-year-old child. Such a childish lie would not work on a young girl like her.

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"Zhongba, Jing'er, she..." Empress Ma's eyes reddened; how could she not miss Zhu Jingjing?

"Madam, don't worry, Jing'er is alive and well, isn't she?" More than worry, Old Zhu felt envy and jealousy. "I believe Jing'er will return sooner or later!"

Old Zhu thought to himself, if Jing'er doesn't come back, who will bring him that refreshing coffee?

The next day, early morning.

Jiang Chuan was still fast asleep, but the bedroom door quietly opened a crack.

Zhu Jingjing peeked through the crack in the door, her lips pouting.

"I promised to buy Jingjing a phone, but she still won't get up!" the little princess muttered, sneaking into her room.

She tiptoed to the bedside, put her lips to Jiang Chuan's ear, and took a deep breath.

"Get up!" With a touch of childishness, the little princess's voice was like a string of silver bells gently touched by the morning breeze.

But if it's right next to your ear, it's like a thunderclap!

Jiang Chuan suddenly jumped out of bed and saw Zhu Jingjing smiling smugly. He immediately understood what had happened.

"You brat! You scared me to death!" Jiang Chuan flicked her forehead hard with his right middle finger, pressing it against his thumb.

"Ouch!" Zhu Jingjing cried out in pain, clutching her forehead and complaining, "Brother, you hurt me!"

"Serves you right, you scared me!" Jiang Chuan glared at her, seeing her tearful face, he quickly rubbed her head, "Jingjing, go wash up, we'll go out for breakfast later."

Zhu Jingjing pouted and dodged Jiang Chuan's hand, "Don't touch my head!"

After saying that, he turned to go wash up.

Jiang Chuan asked with concern, "Jingjing, is your ankle alright?"

Zhu Jingjing nodded and replied, "Although it still hurts when I touch it, it doesn't affect my walking anymore."

After breakfast, Jiang Chuan met up with Zhu Jingjing and Lin Xiaoyu, and the three of them set off together for the commercial street.

"If I remember correctly, you bought your phone online, right?" Lin Xiaoyu asked, holding Zhu Jingjing's hand and looking towards Jiang Chuan on the other side.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "This is for Jingjing! After all, it's her first phone, so I hope she can pick one she likes. The real thing is always more convincing than a photo."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyu pouted, "You say I spoil Jingjing? I think you're just as spoiled!"

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the three arrived at the mobile phone store.

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

Faced with a dazzling array of mobile phones, Zhu Jingjing was momentarily overwhelmed by the choices.

"Jiang Chuan, Jingjing has never used a cell phone before, aren't you going to give her any advice?" Lin Xiaoyu said.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and replied, "Let her choose based on appearance. Anyway, she won't know how to use many of the functions. Once she's learned them enough, she can get a new one."

"Brother, I've made my choice, I want this one!" Zhu Jingjing said.

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, not expecting Zhu Jingjing to choose the same brand and model of mobile phone as him.

"Jingjing, you don't need to buy the same one as me." He gave a wry smile and advised, "I'm not picky about phones. This is just a trendy model I bought online. You should choose one you like."

Zhu Jingjing shook her head vigorously and said, "I want this one!"

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to pay and buy it.

As soon as Zhu Jingjing got the phone, she excitedly started fiddling with it. "Brother, how do I use the long-distance voice transmission feature? Teach me quickly!"

"What do you mean by 'transmitting a message across a thousand miles'? Didn't I tell you that's called making a phone call?" Jiang Chuan lightly tapped her on the head and said, "It won't work now. Your phone doesn't have a SIM card yet. A phone without internet is practically a brick!"

"Brother, where do we buy the SIM card?" Zhu Jingjing shook Jiang Chuan's arm, eager to experience all the phone's functions.

"Don't worry, when we get back I'll ask Mom to think of a way." Nowadays, all SIM cards require real-name authentication, and obviously, the little princess, being a time traveler, can't do that.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Jingjing, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Zhu Jingjing nodded and handed over the phone with a hint of suspicion.

Lin Xiaoyu turned her back and fiddled with it for a while, then handed it back to Zhu Jingjing with a smile. "Jingjing, it's done. You can make a phone call now!"

"Of course it's mine!" Lin Xiaoyu patted her ample chest and said, "I knew you wouldn't have a SIM card ready, so I brought a spare one!"

"Isn't that a bad idea?" Jiang Chuan hesitated. "It's best not to let others use your SIM card so easily, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoyu interrupted him, "What's there to worry about? Do you think Jingjing would use my SIM card to do anything bad?"

Jiang Chuan remained silent. That made sense. Given the little princess's current state, even if she wanted to do something bad, she wouldn't!

"Brother, look at this!" Suddenly, the little princess pointed her phone screen at Jiang Chuan. "It says that my father killed a minister named Xu Yikui because of a few words. Is that true?"

Jiang Chuan frowned deeply. As Zhu Jingjing fiddled with her phone, she opened the browser and happened to be pushed an article about Zhu Yuanzhang's "Memorial Disaster"!

Xu Yikui submitted a congratulatory memorial stating, "Under the bright sky, a sage was born to set an example for the world." Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "bright sky" and "born" were veiled references to his past as a monk, and "set an example" was a veiled reference to his past as a "thief," so he had him executed!

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Damn it! I did indeed execute a group of officials because of the blank seal case, but that was because they forged account books and embezzled money and grain. Their crimes deserved to be punished! Tell me, when have I ever executed ministers for a few words?"

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground in silence. Zhu Yuanzhang had indeed never instigated a literary inquisition, but the scene in the sky was a vision of later generations.

Since there are records of him instigating literary inquisitions, who knows what might happen in the future...

All the civil and military officials were in a state of panic, secretly thinking that they must stay away from Xu Yikui in the future to avoid getting burned!

Seeing no one answer, Zhu Yuanzhang angrily said, "Where is Xu Yikui? Summon him here immediately!"
