The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1051 Guidance

After Prince Joliv and several blond men from the Luoba Continent left Kyoto, Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao had some free time. They could rest for a few more days before setting off to Shatai City to see Joliv off, as their flight would only take a few hours.

Before Chu Chenjing could even have a moment to himself, he was summoned by the Crown Prince to discuss matters.

These past few days have been a rare period of leisure, which has become a good opportunity for Ouyang Yunyao to plan her own affairs. This is a good time to take the opportunity to sort out the Fengyun Pavilion that she built from scratch, as the children of her Fengyun Pavilion and school still need her support.

Although she has plenty of gold, silver, and food in her storage space, she will never use them lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, just like when she went to Linghe Prefecture to help with the snow disaster.

She initially formed the Fengyun Pavilion after she had just transmigrated to this world, and the situation in the Western Chu Kingdom was complex. Her purpose was to gather intelligence to protect her family and herself.

Now that the capital is stable and none of the princes have any disloyal intentions, the focus of her Fengyun Pavilion should shift to developing industry, just as she and Chu Chenjing had previously discussed.

Since she wanted to develop industry, she first had to establish a foundation on her own territory. The goods she sold could not be copied from elsewhere; they had to be produced by herself.

There's an even more important reason: she doesn't know if her personal space will disappear at any time, so she has to prepare for the worst and can't rely on it entirely.

After observing for some time, Ouyang Yunyao had already decided in her heart that Xia Yan would be the deputy head of her Fengyun Pavilion, and she could entrust the entire Fengyun Pavilion to her management.

This girl is calm, quick-witted, and incredibly skilled. She also enjoys learning new things.

At midday, the sun was shining brightly. Ouyang Yunyao leaned against the soft couch, enjoying the pastries made by Xiao Cui and Xia Fei, while her thoughts drifted far away.

Just then, Xia Yan lifted the curtain and hurriedly walked in, reporting, "Your Highness, I'm back. I've already handed over the school affairs to Mei'er properly."

Ouyang Yunyao looked up and saw Xia Yan. She was slightly taken aback. Wasn't she just thinking about her? Then, a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Yan'er, you've come back just in time." As she spoke, she pointed to the other side of the small table on the soft couch and said, "Yan'er, please sit down."

Xia Yan was suddenly taken aback, her heart tightening instantly as she wondered if she had done something wrong. She glanced at Xiao Cui and Xia Fei beside her, both of whom looked bewildered and turned their gazes toward Ouyang Yunyao.

Xia Yan dared not sit down rashly, and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, is there something important you wish to tell me?"

Seeing her looking so tense, Ouyang Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle. "Yan'er, it's only been a few days since you last saw me, why are you so nervous?" she joked. "Do you think I'd eat you?"

Xia Yan scratched her head, looking flustered, and explained, "Your Highness, you've never been this serious before. I thought I had done something wrong!"

"Look, this has frightened Yan'er." Ouyang Yunyao smiled, then said seriously, "All three of you, please sit down. I have something important to tell you."

"Your Highness, what is it?" Xiao Cui couldn't contain her curiosity and asked in a low voice, blinking her eyes.

"I want to tell you that I plan to appoint Yan'er as the deputy head of Fengyun Pavilion. All matters, big and small, within the pavilion will be handled by Yan'er."

"Your Highness, this subordinate..." Xia Yan was startled and looked up sharply. Just as she was about to say something, Ouyang Yunyao raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Yan'er, you don't need to say anything, I know what you're going to say." Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow and continued, "I know your abilities. I've been grooming you as a deputy sect leader all this time. You already have the ability, and I believe you will do even better in the future!"

"princess……"

Ouyang Yunyao looked at her with eyes full of trust, "Yan'er, what? You don't dare?"

"Your Highness..." Xia Yan's eyes welled up with tears. She stood up abruptly, gave a proper military salute, and said loudly, "Your subordinate will certainly live up to your mission and will never betray Your Highness's trust!"

"Yes, these are the qualified subordinates of this Consort." Ouyang Yunyao beckoned her to sit down. She then turned to Xiao Cui and Xia Fei, "From now on, Xiao Cui and Fei'er will follow this Consort."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The two were overjoyed and quickly replied.

Xiao Cui turned to Xia Yan and said, "Sister Yan'er, you can definitely do it."

"Sister, I believe in you!" Xia Fei gave her a thumbs up.

"You two are good at saying nice things." Xia Yan glared at the two of them, then said, "You two must protect the princess well."

"Alright, Yan'er, you can rest assured. I am capable of protecting myself." Ouyang Yunyao patted Xia Yan and continued, "Besides the two of them, you will be in charge of the rest of the Fengyun Pavilion. In addition, I have thought about it for a long time. From now on, our Fengyun Pavilion will no longer focus on intelligence gathering, but will instead develop its own industries and primarily raise children."

"Develop industry? Does that mean we'll manufacture handguns, grenades, and the like?" Xia Yan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, and she leaned forward excitedly. "Your Highness, is this true?"

Ouyang Yunyao nodded and said slowly, "We can't manufacture muskets yet, but we can try to manufacture firearms."

"As you have seen, the items brought by those blond people from the Luoba Continent must have been made by them. This shows that the development of the Luoba Continent has far surpassed that of our Yuzhou Continent."

Now that our Western Chu is at peace, we should also manufacture our own goods.

“Yes, Your Highness! Everything from the Luoba Continent is so novel; they must have made it themselves. But all the rare items here were taken out of your Qiankun Bag by Your Highness.” Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly, her little face full of agreement.

In Prince Jing's mansion, all of Ouyang Yunyao's and Chu Chenjing's confidants knew that the magical objects that had appeared in their Western Chu Kingdom all came from the Princess's Qiankun Bag.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xia Fei quickly added, "Your Highness, they can build huge ships that sail the seas, and they even managed to find us here!"

“Yes, you are right!” Ouyang Yunyao’s expression darkened. “If our Western Chu Kingdom does not develop further, the Luoba Continent will become increasingly powerful in the future, and it is hard to guarantee that it will not be detrimental to us.”

Xia Yan suppressed her excitement and looked worried: "Your Highness, we don't know how to make those things! We don't know where to begin?"

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Ouyang Yunyao smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? You can learn from books if you don't understand something!" She then guided them, "The books I showed you earlier will all come in handy in the future!"

“Yes, yes, yes! There are lots of pictures in those books,” Xia Yan exclaimed excitedly.
