When Lu Yao arrived at the Vermillion Bird Gate, there was a young eunuch in blue waiting at the door to lead the way for her.
The inner palace of the imperial city was solemn and majestic. Lu Yao walked for a long time and felt that he was getting further and further away. He typed into the system, "Why haven't we arrived yet?"
Why is the system asking me? Ask it.
Lu Yao "I feel something is wrong. It's no use asking him. I only trust you."
The system's tail was about to rise, trying to restrain itself. Well, there is a problem. It has been leading you around in circles. I have scanned and saved the map of the entire inner palace. What do you want to do
Lu Yao thought for a moment, called the eunuch who was leading the way, and handed him a small purse, "Eunuch, how long will it take to get there?"
The young eunuch took the purse, squeezed it, put it in his arms, and said in a bad tone, "Just follow me, why are you asking so many questions?"
It seems that no amount of money can solve this disaster. Lu Yao can roughly guess who is causing the trouble.
The first time she entered the palace, the only person she offended was Eunuch Qin, who announced the imperial edict.
Lu Yao ignored the eunuch, turned around and walked back, asking the system to "help me find the way."
When the young eunuch saw Lu Yao noticed, his face suddenly became sinister and he stepped forward to stop him, “Stop! You bitch—ah—”
Lu Yao let go of his hand and took a step back. He looked up at the sky, then looked down at the little eunuch rolling on the ground. "Is he okay?"
Some time ago, Lu Yao saw Ku Ba teaching a dog self-defense, so he joined in the fun and learned a few moves.
Just now, this man rushed over with a ferocious look, and she reacted subconsciously by grabbing his wrist and twisting it, as if she used too much force.
The system is speechless. My wrist is broken.
Lu Yao: “…What should I do then?”
Is she that strong
Don't ask me the system.
Lu Yao squatted down, and the little eunuch was frightened. He dodged backwards repeatedly, got up and ran away.
Lu Yao looked at the direction the man ran away, stood up helplessly, and called the system, "You show the way, we will go to the Qinzheng Hall first."
Qinzheng Hall.
After reviewing the memorials, Emperor Wu stood up and walked to the bedroom at the back.
Sometimes when he is too busy, he sleeps here.
Two days ago, Emperor Wu ordered someone to move a bronze mirror to the inner room of the Qinzheng Hall.
At this time, Emperor Wu was standing in front of a bronze mirror, staring at the string of red numbers (the characters of the Great Wu Dynasty) above his head in a trance.
At first, he didn't understand what the numbers meant, but they were invisible to everyone except him.
Later, when I looked in the mirror every day, the number on my head would decrease by one unit every day.
Emperor Wu soon realized that these numbers were recording the time he had left.
From the day his memory suddenly came back to him, to the day he passed away five years later, time was shortened day by day.
Emperor Wu had some feeling in his heart that the recovery of his memory was not accidental.
When he came back this time, he found a strange shop in Liangjing City, which had never appeared in his memory of his previous life.
Before his memory came back to him, he had already placed his trusted followers in that shop.
According to reports from close confidants, this is an extremely strange shop, but no clues have been found out about its details.
Emperor Wu suspected that the appearance of this shop might be related to his resurrection.
When he heard the information called "Moon Landing Project", he couldn't help but want to meet the manager of the cinema.
Over the past day, the number above my head has indeed decreased by one unit.
Emperor Wu came out of the inner room and glanced at the screen standing in front of the door, "Qin Mingde."
Qin Mingde came in from outside. "Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu: "Has the cinema manager not arrived yet?"
Qin Mingde shook his head, "How about I go to Suzaku Gate and take a look?"
Seeing that Emperor Wu's face was slightly gloomy, he turned and walked out, lowering his head slightly to hide his emotions. Before he reached the door, a message came from outside - Lu Yao, the manager of the cinema, wanted to see His Majesty.
Qin Mingde was stunned. How come he came so soon
Emperor Wu's face brightened slightly. He walked to the desk and sat down, signaling Qin Mingde to summon the people.
Qin Mingde cleared his throat, flicked his whisk, and with the intention of watching a good show, he said in a sharp voice, "Lu Yao, the manager of Xuan Cinema, enter the hall."
Lu Yao stepped into the palace, walked to the emperor's side, bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty."
Qin Mingde's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that this man would dare not kneel in front of His Majesty. He stepped forward and shouted, "You bold and unruly commoner, why don't you kneel in front of His Majesty?"
Before Lu Yao could reply, Emperor Wu spoke first, "All of you get out."
Qin Mingde looked up and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty?"
Emperor Wu closed his eyes and waved his hand, "Go away."
Qin Mingde glanced at Lu Yao unwillingly and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall in small steps.
Lu Yao stood with his head down, feeling the gaze from above was extremely strong.
Emperor Wu looked at the string of numbers above Lu Yao's head and counted from the back to the front. The more he counted, the more frightened he became.
Seventy thousand, and the last unit is "year".
Emperor Wu was unwilling to give up and counted three or four times to make sure he had not made a mistake.
The woman in front of him had a string of numbers above her head, just like him.
The difference is that he has five years left, while she has more than 70,000 years.
It's simply unbelievable.
The dragon scale hairpin on Lu Yao's hair also caught Emperor Wu's attention. He couldn't tell what material it was made of, but the dark diamond pattern was glowing. When he looked at it, he felt a chill down his spine.
This woman is probably not an ordinary person.
"You..." Emperor Wu paused, "Raise your head."
Lu Yao looked up as he was told.
Judging from the reign title, Emperor Wu should have been over sixty years old.
In this world, that can be considered a very long life.
The emperor was wearing a black and gold dragon robe, his hair was grey, his face was solemn, his nasolabial folds were deep, but his eyes were clear and sharp, and he had a majestic demeanor.
However, the most eye-catching thing is that there is a string of strange red numbers on the emperor’s golden crown.
Lu Yao only glanced at it and looked away, secretly asking the system, "Is your majesty a player of the paradise?"
The system stammered, "It shouldn't be."
Lu Yao: "What's that on top of his head?"
It is related to system tasks and cannot be disclosed.
Lu Yao pursed his lips, this was the best hint.
Emperor Wu was also observing Lu Yao, and keenly noticed that her gaze paused for a moment. She closed the letter and straightened her sitting posture.
Outside the Qinzheng Hall, Qin Mingde was lying on the door.
Unfortunately, the noise inside was very low and I couldn’t hear anything.
Inside the palace, Lu Yao listened to Emperor Wu's request and thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but it will take a few days to prepare."
The emperor seemed to be simply interested in the cinema, but as it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace, he asked if movies could be shown in the palace.
Lu Yao, who was familiar with the mission process, knew that it might not be that simple, but when she saw Emperor Wu, she also understood that she might be about to reach the ultimate mission.
Emperor Wu leaned forward slightly and asked, "How many days will it take?"
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "It will only take five days to prepare. But I cannot complete all the work by myself. When I enter the palace, please allow me to bring two helpers."
Emperor Wu was just testing the waters, but he didn't expect Lu Yao to say "yes". He couldn't help but really think about it, so he said "Yes".
About half an hour later, Lu Yao came out of the Qinzheng Hall.
Before leaving, she confessed to Emperor Wu about her encounter with the young eunuch at Suzaku Gate and left a bottle of medicine.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu called a young attendant named "Chang Rong" and asked him to escort Lu Yao out of the palace.
Qin Mingde stood outside the hall, his expression slightly changed.
It takes more than three quarters of an hour to walk from the Qinzheng Hall to the Suzaku Gate.
The inner palace of the imperial city is this big.
Lu Yao looked at the eunuch beside him, his eyes flickering. "There is a clerk in my cinema named Chang Ming. His figure and temperament are somewhat similar to yours. I almost mistook you for him when I took a quick look at you just now."
Eunuch Chang Rong lowered his head and laughed dryly, "Miss Lu is joking."
Lu Yao also smiled, took out a movie theater doll keychain from his pocket, and handed it over, "It's a little thing from the movie theater. I'm sorry to bother you to give it to me. If you don't mind, please accept it."
Chang Rong's face lit up and he took it, "Thank you Miss Lu."
This kind of little doll has recently become quite popular among the young palace maids and eunuchs. Changrong has been coveting it for a long time, but unfortunately he has never been able to get one.
This little gadget is also in great demand outside the palace. People in the palace can only ask their acquaintances who work outside the palace to bring it, and they can only bring a few at a time.
After getting one unexpectedly, Chang Rong felt closer to the owner. "Next time the girl enters the palace, I will come to Suzaku Gate to pick you up."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, father-in-law."
Walking all the way from the deep palace to the palace gate, Lu Yao started talking with the doll. He talked about some things in the cinema and, not surprisingly, found out a lot about the situation in the palace.
It took Lu Yao a long time to enter the palace.
It was almost noon and he still hadn't returned.
Other stores in the shopping street have also opened for business one after another. Ji Zhixin received a call from the 1041 team in the fishing room. There was a small problem on the side and they wanted to discuss it with Lu Yao.
Ji Zhixin contacted Lu Yao, but he didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to the message, so he had to send a message to Fu Chi in the group.
Where is the owner of Ji Zhixin Fu Chi? I contacted her privately, but she never responded.
A few minutes passed.
The owner of the shop, Fu Chi, went to the palace to see the emperor and has not returned yet.
Zhou Su!!! What is this development
Even more confused than Zhou Su were the three people in the post-production team. After they officially started working, they also joined the small work group in the shopping street.
I usually just peek at the screen and rarely speak.
Privately, I always felt that the content of the chat in the group was a bit strange, but the working environment in the shopping street was really great, and the meals provided in the morning and at noon were delicious, and they changed almost every day. Gao Si and Gao Meng subconsciously ignored the strange conversations in the group.
Until this morning, when I saw Fu Chi's words, the weird feeling of being deliberately ignored was completely peaked.
Liu Tang had been acting strange since he last saw Lu Yao. Gao Meng had asked him if he knew Lu Yao, but he refused to say.
When I opened the work group this morning, I was stunned when I saw Fu Chi’s words.
Emperor Gao Meng? I don’t understand why the boss wants to see the emperor
Is Gauss a spy again
Fu Chi Luyao is back.
Zhou Su quickly asked her, what does the emperor look like? Is the palace big
As Lu Yao stepped into the cinema, his cell phone started ringing.
She took it out and looked at it, and simply replied that the emperor was very majestic and the palace was very large. It took almost an hour to walk out of the inner palace.
Lu Yaoji Zhixin, what did you want to talk to me about
Gao Meng, help me! What are you talking about? I don’t understand!!!
You can come and visit Lu Yao Gao Meng Cinema when you are free.
Lu Yao and Gao Si's "The Little Chef of Shengjing" is about to be completed. The next film will be "The Inspector General of Daliang" and "The Crown Princess". The remaining one will also follow "Seeking the Immortal" later. The editing details will be sent to you later, so you can get to know the material first.
Gao Siluyao received it.
Gao Meng, does our cinema still show TV series
Liu Tang stared at the chat box, his fingers trembling. After hesitating for a while, he sent a message: "Boss Lu Yao, do you know the paradise?"
Don't ask him why he doesn't chat privately. Asking means he is afraid.
After a few minutes, no one responded.
After a while, Fu Chi said in the group that Lu Yao had gone out again and there was no signal outside. She said she would come over in the afternoon to deal with the matters of the 1041 group and the post-production group.
Five days later, a movie was to be shown in the palace, and Lu Yao felt that this was a great opportunity to promote her beauty line.
So as soon as she came back from the palace, she went to Yanzhi Tower immediately to check the latest progress of the lipstick line.
Su Su got a lot of inspiration from the movie, and with some ingredients from the cinema, there are more possibilities in color matching. Su Su has already mixed four completely different lipsticks that are in line with the style of the movie.
She had planned to go to the cinema in the afternoon to report the progress to Lu Yao and watch the newly released "Moon Landing Plan". When she saw Lu Yao coming in person, she immediately took out four mini lipsticks like a treasure and said, "Master, come and take a look."
The kiln factory and the carpenter have already delivered some accessories, including fifty full-size lipstick tubes and bases, and sixty mini lipstick tubes and bases.
Su Su tried to make a batch using mini lipstick tubes, two in each of the four colors.
Lu Yao unscrewed them one by one. The shape was guided by the mold and there was basically no problem.
The arm and lip swatches performed well. Lu Yao slightly adjusted the reddish-brown hue of one of the shades, and then there was the issue of fragrance.
The smell of lipstick is actually a plus.
Some lipsticks smell like chocolate, which makes people want to eat them. Some smell like roses, which gives people a "feminine" impression from the sense of smell.
Su Su’s technique for blending perfumes is relatively traditional, with floral scents as the main ingredient, and the application is a bit heavy, which can be a bit greasy if you smell it too much.
Lu Yao re-mixed the scents based on the tones and target groups of the four lipsticks.
Su Su was surprised and a little frustrated watching from the side. "Master, your ideas and aesthetics are better than mine. In fact, if you do everything, you will do it better and faster than me."
Lu Yao shook his head. "I just saw more than you. These are not all my achievements. You will be able to do as well as I do in the future."
Su Su had hardly ever met a woman like Lu Yao before. She was particularly reassuring and gentle.
In front of Lu Yao, those thoughts that she usually kept carefully hidden in her heart would blurt out, and the master would not blame her. Instead, he would always say many things in a matter-of-fact tone that no one had ever said to her before.
These words were like sweet dew, seeping into her life bit by bit. As time went on, Su Su couldn't help but believe that she would become omnipotent in the future.
After the two of them finished their work, Madam Xu just happened to come back.
Su Su gave the newly-released lipstick to Xu Niangzi for a try.
Lu Yao, Su Su and Xu Niangzi can represent women of three age groups respectively. All of them can find a lipstick that suits their temperament among the four lipsticks. The research and development of the lipstick line has come to an end.
It will then be put into mass production, promoted, and put on sale.
Lu Yao still planned to shoot an advertisement and take advantage of the palace's momentum to completely open up the lipstick market.
For this purpose, additional accessories must be customized.
Lu Yao checked the empty lipstick tube and wooden carved base that were sent to him. The degree of fit was unexpectedly high, with almost no waste.
Obviously it was a pure handmade product, she never expected the pass rate to be so high.
Lu Yao discussed with Xu Niangzi and decided to order an additional 200 pieces of accessories each for the regular set and mini trial sets, for a total of 800 pieces.
Given Liangjing's population and potential market, selling out all of them might be a huge challenge, but the three women were all excited and eager to try.
When I returned to the cinema from Yanzhi Building, it was already late.
The release of the first 3D film "Moon Landing" has just begun to bring an impact to the Dawu Dynasty.
Even Lu Yao did not expect that this film would bring about an unprecedented wave of technological innovation.
The cinema is closed, but it is still noon in the shopping street.
Lu Yao went to the post-production group's office to have lunch, and in the afternoon he had to go to the Maorongrong shop to deal with issues of the 1041 group.
When Gao Meng saw Lu Yao, she complained in a coquettish voice, "Boss, I just found out today that none of us have work badges."
In the morning, they listened to the "popular science" of the old employees and learned that if they wanted to visit other stores, they needed a special work badge for the shopping street.
The three of them came suddenly, and Lu Yao was indeed very busy recently and had forgotten about this matter.
Lu Yao immediately used his popularity points to exchange for three work badges.
Liu Tang sat in the corner, reached out to take his work badge, and secretly looked up at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao didn't notice it. He handed out his work badges and focused on eating.
Liu Tang was sure that Lu Yao didn't recognize him, or maybe he had never noticed him at all.
At lunch time, everyone likes to sit next to the owner.
Recently, with the establishment of this office, the shop assistants in the shopping street have become much more comfortable. It seems that they have suddenly gained more private time and have gained a little love from their colleagues.
Zhou Su saw that Lu Yao had finished his work and immediately came over and asked, "Did you really see the living emperor? What does the palace look like?"
Fu Chi interrupted, "Bring some small machines next time. I want materials from the palace."
Palace buildings were nothing. He wanted to see the real life of ancient emperors, concubines, eunuchs and palace maids.
Zhou Su's eyes widened. "Is there still a chance to go?"
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin also looked up.
Lu Yao finished his meal in a few bites and nodded, "Five days later, I will go to the palace to show a movie to His Majesty and the concubines in the harem."
Zhou Su: "Is there electricity in the palace? How can we play movies?"
Ji Zhixin: "Prepare a small generator. We also have special batteries to choose from."
Fu Chi: "I have the projection equipment here."
Zhou Su: "Can Yaoyao do it alone?"
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Bring Harold and Ye Xiao along, it should be no problem."
Zhou Su: "Oh, and Harold. Who is Ye Xiao?"
Fu Chi "An employee of the cinema."
I don't know anything. What kind of company is the shopping street of the three people who are confused and eating melons? Why are the topics that colleagues talk about during lunch break so difficult to understand? Is it their problem or the company's problem
After lunch break, Lu Yao saw the notes written by Ji Zhixin, which were all the questions raised by 1041 during the phone call in the morning.
Lu Yao is preparing to go to the Night Light City again.
Harold had worked a day at the cinema, and Lu Yao asked him to go back to the nail salon to rest.
This time I brought along the seal guard captain Leilei and two other elder-level droplet seals.
The little fat kids were so happy.
The trip to Nightlight City went smoothly. The reintegration of technology and magic was just one step away from the new "Z-series technology".
But Lu Yao felt that something was missing.
1041 said that current technology only supports extreme simulation of images and sounds, making people feel as if they are actually there, but it is unable to achieve what she wants, which is to take into account the sense of touch, smell and taste.
Lu Yao thought about it for a long time and still felt that this was a problem that could be tried to be solved.
Group 1041 also started to have a headache.
After returning from Yeguang City, Lu Yao found Jiuhua and said, "Teacher Jiu, I have something to ask of you."
Jiuhua played along with her seriously, "Teacher Lu, what's the matter? Tell me."
Lu Yao handed her a stack of information and said, "Help me write a script."
