Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

modern.

"Brother, tell me quickly, what is this thing!" Zhu Jingjing was already used to the two bickering. Rather than trying to mediate, she was more concerned about what secrets were hidden in the computer.

"Jingjing is asking you a question, so hurry up and answer!" Lin Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chuan. "What are you staring at me for? Do I have the answer on my face?"

Jiang Chuan then came to his senses and quickly explained, "Jingjing, this is called a computer game, which is one of the most popular forms of entertainment around here."

"Brother, why don't you ever teach me!" Zhu Jingjing pouted, full of grievance. "There are such fun things to play, but you always lock yourself up and play with them secretly. That's so unfair!"

Jiang Chuan scratched his head awkwardly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to teach the little princess, it's just...

Jiang Chuan briefly imagined what it would be like after Zhu Jingjing went to church, sitting in front of the computer every day, typing away furiously...

"Jingjing, it's not that I don't want to teach you!" He quickly shook his head, trying to banish the horrific image from his mind. "It's just that you have to be at least eighteen to play these computer games; that's the rule here!"

Lin Xiaoyu's lips twitched slightly. What kind of rule is this in modern times! But she didn't expose her, after all, she didn't want to see the little princess really become obsessed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingjing pouted even more and muttered under her breath, "What kind of ridiculous rules are these... If I can't play, can I at least watch?"

Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good that she believed it!

As long as she doesn't become addicted, it's fine to let her see it occasionally.

When Zhu Jingjing saw Jiang Chuan nod, she was overjoyed. She moved a small stool and sat down next to him, placing her two little hands neatly on her knees.

Jiang Chuan pressed the pause button and returned to the game interface.

On the screen, the Zhu Yuanzhang civilization he controls is in the late classical era, with several cities scattered along the river.

"Brother, on that little figure's head..." Zhu Jingjing frowned slightly, "why does it have Father's name written on it?"

Jiang Chuan scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "That's your father! But he's not actually in the game; it's just a virtual avatar."

"Virtual avatar?" The unfamiliar term made Zhu Jingjing even more confused.

"It's a dummy generated in the game," Jiang Chuan explained. "Like the actors playing historical figures in those plays you see."

Zhu Jingjing suddenly realized, and a sense of pride welled up in her heart.

Father is indeed famous!

His virtual avatar even appears in games!

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Brother, is there a virtual avatar of mine in this game?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head awkwardly.

He really couldn't imagine which game would include Princess Lin'an.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin, holding the baby rhinoceros in his arms, gazed at the sky, his expression slightly stunned.

"Your Majesty," Wei Zheng said, bowing deeply, "what Jiang Chuan said about 'games' is quite intriguing. 'Sitting quietly in a room, one can command thousands of troops in that small world. If this were used to teach the princes the art of governing, it would surely be highly effective!'"

Li Shimin nodded and replied, "What you think is exactly what I intend. If such a thing truly exists, having all the princes practice it, and determining the heir apparent based on victory or defeat, will ensure the future of our Great Tang Dynasty!"

"Father, that 'game' is so much fun!" The little rhinoceros in his arms suddenly started to whine, grabbing the dragon robe and shouting, "I want to play too!"

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"So that's how it is. The 'I' within that small space is nothing but an illusion." Zhu Yuanzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it were truly a soul-binding sorcery, he would be helpless. "However, this thing is quite interesting. Perhaps we can glean some strategies for governing the world from it."

"Chongba, if Jingjing can master this tool, she might be able to understand the strategies for governing the country..." Empress Ma realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately fell silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, and a conflict arose in his heart.

How many female emperors have there been throughout history?

If Jingjing truly possesses the bearing of an emperor, could it be that the throne should really be passed to her?

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang quickly dismissed the thought, saying in a deep voice, "Madam, so-called drills are ultimately just 'games.' No matter how well you practice, it's worlds apart from truly governing a country!"

modern.

Zhu Jingjing stared at the computer screen and couldn't help but yawn.

The game seemed interesting at first, but the more I watched, the more boring it became, and my eyelids started to droop.

"Jingjing, if you're sleepy, go back to your room and sleep." Jiang Chuan paused the game, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Games are fun when you play them yourself, but watching others play them can get boring."

Zhu Jingjing glanced at him, lowered her head slightly, hiding the blush on her cheeks, "Brother, I don't want to move... Can you carry me back?"

Jiang Chuan nodded with a wry smile; he naturally had to fulfill this request.

Supporting her by the back, I lifted her legs and carried her back to the bedroom in a princess carry.

"Jingjing, you should rest well. I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner," Jiang Chuan said softly, gently rubbing her head.

Zhu Jingjing nodded gently, and seeing Jiang Chuan about to leave, she suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Brother, if you and Sister Xiaoyu want to eat anything delicious, you must wake me up!" Her eyes widened, and her drowsiness vanished instantly. "You can't sneak food from me!"

Jiang Chuan nodded with a wry smile, "Don't worry, you little glutton!"

"Jiang Chuan, you're going on a business trip in a few days, right?" Lin Xiaoyu approached Jiang Chuan as soon as he stepped out of the bedroom. "What about Jingjing? Should I take care of her?"

He hesitated for a moment, then gently shook his head: "Let Jingjing come with me. I promised to take her on a plane."

"Are you sure?" Lin Xiaoyu frowned slightly. "Airline and high-speed rail tickets both require real-name authentication. Jingjing doesn't have an ID card, how are you going to buy her a ticket?"

Jiang Chuan slapped his forehead; he had completely forgotten about that!

In modern times, it's troublesome to do many things without an ID card.

Jiang Chuan said, "I asked my mom for help, but I don't know if the documents have been processed yet."

Lin Xiaoyu glanced at him and volunteered, "If all else fails, leave this to me! Just say that Jingjing is an unregistered resident from the mountains and asks someone to help her get a new identity. It shouldn't be too difficult."

"Xiaoyu, then I'm counting on you!" Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up. "I'll definitely reward you handsomely once it's done!"

Lin Xiaoyu sat down on the sofa, crossed one of her long legs, and said, "Then tell me first, what kind of generous reward will you offer?"

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "How about I treat you to a meal? Eat as much as you want, it doesn't matter how expensive it is."

"What, you think you can get rid of me with just one meal?" Lin Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. "I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."

Jiang Chuan answered without hesitation, "No problem! Not just one, ten are fine too!"

"You answered so readily, agreeing without even hearing what it was about?" Lin Xiaoyu curled her lips into a sly smile. "What if I said... I wanted you to marry me, would you agree then?"
