The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

What is the purpose of Chapter 1035?

Before Princess Ronghui could recover from the surprise of seeing the colorful book, Ouyang Yunyao took out an item that surprised them even more: an exquisitely designed voice recorder.

The voice recorder in her hand is the latest model of the 23rd century. Not only is it easy to operate, but it also has a point-and-read function, and it uses a button battery. With just one button battery, it can last for a year even if used day and night.

Under the astonished gazes of the others, she gave one recording pen each to Princess Ronghui, Xiaocui, and Xia Fei.

"Master! What... what is this strange thing again?" The princess held a shiny object that was half the length of her palm and about the width of her finger, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, curiously examining it from all angles.

"I know! I know! It's called a recording pen!" Xiao Cui, standing nearby, quickly raised the one in her hand and said excitedly. Earlier today at the General's Mansion, she had seen the Princess use the recording pen to speak to the eldest, second, and fourth young masters.

"Yes, yes, I know too, it's a voice recorder!" Xia Fei said, equally delighted.

Ouyang Yunyao nodded, "Yes, you're right, this is the recording pen."

Princess Ronghui was completely bewildered. What was this recording pen? She frowned and asked, "Master! What's this recording pen for?"

Ouyang Yunyao smiled slyly: "A voice recorder is a good thing. It can be like a teacher, teaching you this Lopa language." As she spoke, Ouyang Yunyao pressed the power button, starting the recording.

At that moment, the recording pen immediately picked up a clear conversation between a man and a woman, sometimes speaking the language of Western Chu and sometimes the language of Luoba. It was as if Ouyang Yunyao was using the language of Western Chu to give a lecture, in case the learners wouldn't understand.

"This... there's someone hiding in here?" Princess Ronghui was so shocked that she quickly picked up the recorder, looked it over from left to right, and even held it to her ear to listen. She wanted to find out where the person was speaking.

Her two maids were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, staring intently at the talking stick in the princess's hand.

Xia Fei and Xiao Cui were used to it. Their princess always had many novel items, and talking objects were commonplace for her.

The cell phone the princess used to show them plays could talk, sing, and even display acting. The girls were already absolutely enamored with it; they could even watch plays and hear people talking on the walls inside the princess's storage bag.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ouyang Yunyao didn't offer much explanation, leaving Princess Ronghui startled.

She opened the book, took out the voice recorder, and had the children read along word by word, referring to the textbook. She also taught them how to use the voice recorder and how to follow along…

Perhaps they found it novel, or perhaps they were quick learners; in just half an hour, Princess Ronghui, Xiaocui, and Xia Fei had already learned a few simple greetings.

"Master! Master! I've learned all these phrases!" Princess Ronghui jumped up excitedly, her cheeks flushed red with excitement. "Haha... I really can speak Lopa now!"

Seeing her excited expression, Ouyang Yunyao smiled and teased, "The three of you have all learned very well! Next time you see those Luoba people, you'll be able to exchange a few words with them."

"Yes! I'll be able to say a few words to them," Princess Ronghui said proudly.

"Yes, you should continue to study hard when you get back, or you'll forget everything," Ouyang Yunyao said with a smile.

"Master, don't worry, I won't let you down. I'll go back to the manor right away and continue my studies."

"That's more like it! So, do you know how to use this voice recorder?"

"I got it! It's so simple and easy to use!" The princess held the voice recorder, touching it with obvious delight. "It's like there's a god living inside. If you want it to teach you something, just point it on the book and it reads it. It's so much fun!"

Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow and added, "Princess, you can't just do this for fun. You need to practice hard when you get back. In a couple of days, when we go to see those Luoba people, you'll be able to have a fluent conversation with them."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ronghui fantasized about how happy she would be to be able to fluently retort to them in Lopa!

She grinned and looked at Ouyang Yunyao, saying, "Master! I know! I'll go back and study hard right away!" After Princess Ronghui finished speaking, she grabbed her two maids and hurriedly walked out. In the blink of an eye, she was out of the warm pavilion, her steps very cheerful.

Ouyang Yunyao was already used to her hurried nature, so she shook her head helplessly and instructed, "Xiaocui, Fei'er, go and see the princess off."

"Yes, Your Highness." The two quickly responded and hurried to catch up with the princess and her entourage, escorting them all the way to the carriage at the gate of the mansion. They only turned back after watching the carriage drive away.

Princess Ronghui had only been gone for a quarter of an hour when Chu Chenjing returned to Chenfeng Courtyard. At that moment, Ouyang Yunyao was leisurely reclining on the soft couch reading a book. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Chu Chenjing enter, and asked, "Has the Minister of Rites left?"

"Hmm." Chu Chenjing walked to the couch and sat down, taking the book from her hands and picking up the teapot on the table. He added some hot water to Ouyang Yunyao's teacup and handed it to her, smiling as he asked, "Yaoyao, guess what the Minister came for today?"

Ouyang Yunyao took the teacup, took a sip, and said casually, "What else could it be? It must be about those Luoba people."

"You guessed right! Guess what?" Chu Chenjing said with a smile, "They asked someone from the post station to find Minister Dong this afternoon, saying they were eager to see us."

"To see us?" Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.

“Yes!” Chu Chenjing explained, “Minister Dong told them that the Emperor would be hosting a banquet for them soon. But they seem impatient and have specially arranged to meet us at Zuixianlou tomorrow at noon, saying they want to treat us to a meal.”

"Oh?" Ouyang Yunyao's lips curled slightly, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes. "Did they say why they wanted to see us?"

“According to Minister Dong,” Chu Chenjing paused, “they want to talk business with us.”

"Talk business?" Ouyang Yunyao sat up upon hearing this, tapping lightly on the armrest of the soft couch with one hand. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Didn't they go shopping in Zhongling Street today? Why are they in such a hurry to do business with us now?"

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes flickered thoughtfully. "A-Jing, you said they're in such a hurry, what product of ours have they taken a liking to? Or are they just trying to push their own products on?"
